In 1880 the total popu'ation of Beaver

population numbers 2345. an increase of
S45 in zen years. The number would be

THE GLORIOUS DEMOCRACY
Assembly in County Meeting and Chang
the Rules,

Assembly In County Meeting and Change
the Rules.
II was not a large meeting of the Demo-
Gratis of Carbon county who met in the
Court House at Mauch Chunk on Monday
afternoon for the purpose of considering
the subject of change in the rules now
governing the party in this county. This
would naturally leave the inference that the
old rules are good enough for the masses.
However II was great opportunity for a
few of the leaders in the great Reformation
to let off steam. It was an amusing
spectacle TO see such great men at the
helm as Robert Klotz and E. II, Rauch
talking of the buying and bartering of the
delegate 5ystem and crying for change.
Perhaps had these men not been so deeply
interested in it the masses of the party
would haYe taken more stock in the pro-
posed change and turned out in greater
number. Hon. Michael Cassidy, chairman
of the County Committee presided, with
Frank Sharkey as secretary. After con-
siderable light discussion the question of
adopting the Warren County Rules was
put to the meeting and defeated Is 10 IL
a two-thirds vote being necessary to
choice. Next the Crawford county sYs-
tenn was presented and defeacted-the vote
standing II to 6. Then an amendment
was presented making the 9TH section in
the presented rules read that the minimum
representation for each township or cleo
tion district shall be one delegate to every
fifty votes cast and wherever the fraction
shall exceed two-thirds one delegate for
such fraction. Provided, that no town
ship or election district shall have less
than one delegate, Article II is entirely
struck out and the apportiontment of dele
gates made every two years on the Presi'
Dental and GobernatOial elections:

He Took the Best One,

At moment when the battle OF
Sadowa was as yet undecided, and
when, indeed, the Prusisans appeared
to be losing ground, Bismarck was
wandering over the battlefield like a
soul in agony. Certain historians
have gone SO far as to say that he
kept a loaded revolver in his holster
for the express purpose OF blowing
out his brains if the Austrians had
won the day. Presently he fell in
with Won Moltke, who was quietly
looking on at the fight. Being anx-
ious to arrive at an idea Of the exact
state of affairs, he pulled out his ci-
gar-case, in which only two ''londres'
were left-one of them extra good,
and the other ofvery inferior quality.
He handed the case to Won Moltke,
who, after examining the cigars for a
long time, silently helped himself to
the best. That Was en- ough for the
chancellor, and he remarked to some
one near at hand: "When 1 saw Won
Moltke use such elaboration in
choosing his cigar, and above all
when he chose the best, knew that
was sign that things were going

Comparatively Easy,

i 1t was seven long years since Jonas
Harris had begun to ''lleep COM
pany" with Miss Hannah Bell, and
yet, in all that time, hehad not mus
tered courage to propose a certain
important question. His house was
lonely and waiting; hers was lonely
enough to be vacated, and still
Jonas could not bring himself to
speak the decisive words. Many a
time had he walked up to her door
with the courage OF q lion, only to
find himself a very mouse when she
appeared.
He had never failed in dropping in
to cheer her loneliness on Thanks
giving evening, and this year he pre-
sented himself as usual. The hearth
was swept, the fire burned brightly
and Miss Hannah was adorned with
smiles and a red bow.
Conversation went serenely on for
an hour or so, and then, when they
both sat pairing ed-cheeked apples,

"But there wouldn't be anybody

Maybe could get it myself
so you could! SO you could!"
cried Jonas, his eyes beginning to
sparkle. ssBut there wouldn't be
anybody to cook up the pies and
cakes beforehand. =
Maybe could cook 'em.''
At that moment Jonas plate fell
between bis knees to the hearth, and
broke in two, but neither OF them
noticed it.
Hannah cried he, with the pent-
up emphasis Of seven long years,
could you bring yourself to think
of gettin' married.
A slow smile curved her lips; sure
y she had been given abundant
time for consideration.
Maybe I could, Z she returned, de
murely, and Jonas has admired him
self to this day for leading up to the
subject SO cleverly.

THANKSGIVING DAY,

+ KS Z
Til tell you about it, my darling, for Grand
mas explained it all.
SO that understand why Thanksgiving al
ways comes late in the fall;
When tie nuts and the apples are gathered,
and the work in the field is done,
And the fields, all reaped and silent, are
asleep iii the autumn sun.
1t is then that we praise our Father WHO
sends the rain and the dew.
Whose wonderful loving kindness is every
morning new;
Unless we'd be heather. Dolly, or worse, we
must sing and pray.
And t!ii2k about good things, Dolly, when
we keep Thanksgiving Day.
But like it very much better when from
church We all go home.
And the married brothers and sisters, and
the troops of cousins come,
And we're ever SO long at the table, and
dance, and shout, and play.
in the merry evening, Dolly, that ends
Thanksgiving Day.
Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster.

The Baby Stopped Crying.

On an east-bound Erie train there
was a baby that made the lives ofall
it's tellow-passengers miserable. 1t
was one OF those small, unassuming
babies, with weak eyes and freckles,
and lungs as powerful as a yachts
mainsail.
In vain the fond mother handled
and kneaded her melodious infant,
it settled down into steady weep
that seemed to be measured by the
mile. The passengers glared and
scowled and all who could moved
away. When Port Jervis was reach
ed there was a temporary lull, and
an exhausted old lady, who sat just
behind the source Of trouble and was
too burdened with boxes and bundles
to move, seized the opportunity to
fall asleep. Again the train started;
few miles were passed in peace, and
then the infant terror of the carlean-
ed it's little speckled countenance far
back over it's mothers shoulder ana
almost in the ears of the old lady
shrieked again.

on the old woman's face. She ex-
tracted capacious box from the
many boxes and bundles about her,
opened it and took out slab OF
sponge-cake three inches square.
The weeping infants eyes followed
this proceeding with some interest,
though not enough to reduce it's
lament, and just as it's mouth was
open widest to get the best purchase
on sound in went the sponge cake as
far and firmly as a moderate push OF
the old lady's hand permitted.
Sound ceased in an instant, and
with eyes popping with horror the
baby seemed buried in sponge-cake
and silence. It's alarmed mother
looking around in surprise.
How old is your child?' inquired
the old woman, with a benevolent
but. significant look.
Eleven months, ma am.
