AN ANCIENT CHESS KING.

BY JEAN INGELOw.
HAPPY some Rajah first IN ages gone
Amid his languid ladies Fingered thee,
While black nightingale. sun-swart as he,
Sang his own wife, loves passionate orison;
HAPPY thou mayst have pleased old Preston John
among his pastures when full royalty
He sat in tent-Grave shepherds at his knee
While lamps of balsam winked and glimmered
o.
What dost thou here? Thy masters are all dead
My heart is full of ruth and yeaIning pain
At sight of thee o King that hast crown
Outlastiug theirs, and tells of greatness fed
Through cloud hung nights OF undated
rain
And murmur of the dark majestic town.

He has good energetic canvassers
and plenty of them. They are
sent in every section, and when they
sell their tobacco with Mr.. Cooper,
they invariably go away satisfied.
HIS warehouse is new and the largest
IN the State with but one exception.
We have visited his house often
during the year and always find it
filled with tobacco. His popularity
with the farmers IS unbounded. He
has worked for the farmers inter-
est so long and has given them such
universal satisfaction that they all
claim him as their best friend. MIR.
Cooper is a fine judge of tobacco,
for he is the largest tobacco planter
in Vance county and knows the
value Of tobacco. He knows what
it cost to put tobacco on the mar
ket. He can sympathise with the
farmer, and when it comes to SELL
ing their tobacco, he ats nds the
sales personally, and sees that no
pile Is neglected. Mr. Cooper has
several large orders and he buys
largely. His principal order being
that of Lorrillard the largest by
double of any manufacturer in the

ness, Mr.. Cooper is engaged in 9TH
er enterprises which tend to build

II is an old and perhaps commons
place saying, but one that has much
of truth in it: "Money makes the

is also essential in an effort to make
a town 60 and grow and without it
there can be no going and no growing.
Take money away from town and
you may. with the assurance that you
are correct in your conclusion, write {:
"That is a finished town"
ANY town with superior banking
facilities is to be congratulated and
upon this score Dnrham is certainly
very fortunate. Our banks occupy
a very important place in the cons

A Child Frightened Into Serious Illness
 by Detective.

by Detective.
 PITTsoN, Pa. Dec. Is. Annie Fadden aged IS years, is at her home at the Junction suffering with disease simi lar to St. Nitus' dance. She is the daughter of a widow and only q few days ago was a healthy child Annie's condition is due primarily to the con- duct of Detective Bull, of the Delaware, Lackawana and Western Railroad, and an assistant.
 The girl was sent by her mother to pick coal, and it being scarce, the child filled her bucket from loaded car. The detective started after Annie. She ran across tho bed of the canal, which had nearly two feet of water in it, and was captured on the opposite bank. An indignant people proven ted the detective from taking her to WilkeSbarre, and she was fined S7 be- fore Squire Jordan. Since then Annie has been delirious, at times shrieking ''rhey're after me! They're after me-
 The physicians fear that she may have a prolonged and dangerous illness In capturing her the officers handled her roughly, and her arms and shoul ! ders bear marks of bruises and violen usage. It is believed that Bull and his assistant will be held responsible fo1 | the girls condition. There is some talk of prosecuting the detectives.
