IHE READER.
A htlc child was reading.

A htae child was reading,
The text was wondrous fair;
ave shall go home at evening
And find 1t morning there"
"It means, mamma she prattled,
With shining eyes and fond,
"Nhen all the stars are lighted
That HeavenSs just beyond"
Closed, closed that book forever
To prove that promise fair,
My child went home at evening
And found the morning there.
And often when I'm weary,
And often when I'm sad,
Comes back that precious readiNg,
To make my spirit glad.
And what are years OF waiting2
And what are years Of pains
NJ when the Heavens are opened
may behold again
Ny gentle little reader
And her sweet promise share
1--WE shall go home At evening
And find it morning there.

Work at the pulp mill will be wound
up this week, it is now thought, all
the timber being about worked up.
The mill will probably be moved to
some other locality, slthough there is
possibility of it remaining here an
other year. This enterprise has been
of very material benefit to the farm
ers of this vicinity. A large quanti-
.ty of timber, mostly popple, valuefess
for any other purpose, has been work
ed up by the company, and the cash
paid here for, besides giving employ
ment to 6 or s men at the mill. L.

dealing and all will regret to have the

Solemn Services Today in the Catholic and

Solemn services held in the Catholic and Epis-

ginning of the Lenten season. Today is Ash
Wednesday and as symbolical of the religious
significance of the event celebrated ashes were
blessed in the Catholic churches and distrib-

of society will be modified. There will be less
dancing and fewer receptions and attendance
at the services of the churches will be the fash

season Is supposed to be at an end, and while
the rush is over society people will settle down
to pleasures conducted on quieter scale. In
some of the Catholic churches missions will be
held during the Lenten season and instruction
will be given to those seeking to live devout
life. Lectures and sermons on subjects appro-

A Young Mans Leg Broken.

Mr.. Florant NJ. Meline. aged nineteen years,
a son of Mr.. F. NJ. Meline of 1747 Corcoran
street, net with a most distressing accident
yesterday afternoon at the works of the Ameri-
canite Company, manufacturers of explosives,
located on the Virginia side of the Long bridge
near Waterloo. A load of lumber was being
handled and in some way one piece got from
under the control Of the workmen and fell with
full force upon young Mr.. Moline and crushing
him to the ground. Upon examination it was
found that the left leg was broken below the
knee in two places and though very serious
accident it is not thought as yet that amputa-
ton will be necessary. He was removed to his
fathers residence in police ambulance, where
he is now resting as comfortable as could be ex-
pected.
