Hasten to my little darling,
Gentle zephyrs, fond end free,
Go, south winds, and ask my dear one
If she daily thinks of meY
Whisper softly let your question
BE like droppings ofthe dew,
Or like sunshine, when it wooeth
Yonder violet, blue and true.

We first met in merry May,
When my smiles she paid with bushes
On that bright and golden day.
On that day my heart declared her
Sweetest of the maiden band,
And | said, "If may claim her,
None so happy in the land~
We are parted for a season;
Fate seems cruel, yet is kind,
Tor our love is undivided
Ono in heart, and one in mind.
Go, south winds, and tell my darling,
Trusting me, to watch and wait,
Soon, full soon, l hoping ever,
Will unlatch the garden gate.
Soon III see my pretty, fair one,
With her eyes of tender blue,
Brighter for the love-light in them
Gentle eyes, so kind and truel
Hand-in-hand we'll roam together
Through the fields and medow'

Faithful love, when once united,

other pursuits who, all though the

scientific studies till he was near 30,

A sipruInr FrsnI. of Nature.

A singular freak of nature has mani
tested itself at Saratoga. Mrs. Mary
Francis originally had very black eyes
and beautiful head of hair. She is
about seventy years old now, in good
health, and a rich widow. When she
was about fifty her hair began to turn
white, and in a few years her hair was
as white as snow, and so remained un-
til about a year ago, when it began to
turn black again, and is now, without
the use of any artificial means and
purely as a freak of nature, almost
wholly returned to its original color
and is as long and silky as when she
wrs young woman.

project we would have an electric rail

If the people who live in the south
end of Lehighton would get up pc
tition and ask the Valley Company to
run their railroad out their way it is
almost safe bet that they would do it..
The south end is rapidly growing and
with railroad connections would grow
twice as rapidly. Some of the very best
locations for manufacturing purposes
are located 10 that end of town, and a
railroad, of course, would put them on
the market. Some resident in that
corner of the old town should get to
work on this suggestion.

1t won't do for us to be inharmonious,
for every kicker in town improvement
is just so much of an obstructionist to
the welfare of the people of his COM
munity. One kicker will have his say,
and generally his "say" will be the
means of discouraging one or more
others who lack in positiveness. The
result is discussion, trouble and a

one old rut from time to time. All

A Few Thoughts That Came to Us Mt tho
Close of Day.
A matter for some cause or other
that fails to receive the attention, due
its Importance, by the church is the
rapidly increasing immortality, the
almost public Righteousness, the open
exhibition of all kinds of debauchery
and the recklessness of human kind in
general. Here and there, not only in
this town but all over the county, can
be found mother and children in actual
want of the necessaries of living which
an immoral father spends in rioting
and crime, while wise versa, a husband
and father bows his head in shame at
the open debauchery of a wife. This
wickedness is bound to be punished
in time, but now, how will or can it be
stopped? The wife who has promised
to honor and obey her husband, puts
herself on the auction block of inn
morality and offers herself to the
highest bidder in cash OF fattery, and
Uhus violates her pledge of fidelity.
She fills herself up to the neck in beer,
disgraces her friends and becomes an
out cast from society. She had better
be dead. The husband, what of him?
Almost the same story. He leaves a
family to starve while the animal in
him runs wild "a menace to the safety
of innocent girlhood, a disgrace to the
town. Let the church organize bands
of mercy and tryto save some, if not
all, of these immoral lepers that afilict
society to-day and who, if not halted
in their mad career will surely under
mine our great free institutions. Rome
started on her down fall in the same
way. Let us steer clear of such
calamity

The city papers are all right if you
want them, but it is the local paper
that advertises your business, your
schools, your churches, your numerous
socities, sympathize with you in your
afiiiction and rejoices in your pros
perity. In short it is your local paper
that mentions the thousand and one
items in which you are interested
during the year, and which you do not
find in the city papers.

SMUGGLERS SHOW FIGHT.
Police Officers Who Attempt to Arrest
Them Are Driven Off.

VANCOUVER. B. c., Nov. 16.-Yester-
day morning Customs Inspector Lewis
saw two white men parleying in sus-
picious manner with Chinese on the
steamer Empress of Japan. Suspecting
opium smuggling he attempted to in
vestigate. The whites ran but the Chi
nese attacked the officer and beat him
until he was unconscious. Later
he identified two of his as
sailants, and Chief McLaren and
two constables went to the ship with
warrants for the men. On attempting
to capture them the entire Chinese crew
surrounded the officers, armed with
knives, hatchets, etc., and a fight
seemed imminent. The police retreated
to the hurricane deck, and finally gave
up the attempt on the promise that the
men be produced in the police court
Monday morning. The police were not
armed, and it is thought that the Chi
nese are excited by the recent riots in
China and believe that the whites wish
to iniure them

army had left the barracks, where the
two women had been in close conversa-

the Biedler woman drew a pistol and
shot Miss Smith through the head, fir
ing a second shot. which missed. She
at once placed the pistol to her own
head, and fell dead. Miss Smith, the
wounded woman declared that there
was no cause for the shooting, unless
Miss Biedler was jealous because the
Captain did not talk to her more. The
Biedler woman was doubtless insane.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 16.-There is
trouble brewing among the freight con-
ductors and brakemen of the Kansas
City, Fort Scott & Memphis Railroad,
which threatens to develop into a strike.
The conductors and brakemen have
several grievances against the road, and
among other things demand an increase
of their wages and reduction of the
number of hours. A week ago yester-
day they held meeting at Fort Scott,
Kas., at which there was good attend
ance of both classes. The meeting was
joint one of the members of
the Order of Railway Conductors
and the Brotherhood of Rail
way Trainmen. At this meeting a
grievance committee to see General
Manager Nettleton and Supt. Pagan was
appointed. Supt. Pagan said this morn
ing that the company would positively
refuse to grant the dem ands of the men.
Another meeting will be held next
Wednesday, at which it is probable a
general strike will be ordered.

DECISION AGAINST THE CITY.
Municipal Authorities Cannot Fix the
Price of Gas.

An important decision affecting the
authority of cities to control and regu-
late corporations enjoying street fran
chises was rendered by Judge Jackson
in the United States circuit court, at
Cleveland, on the 18TH Some time
since the city council passed an
ordinance reducing the price Of gas
from 81 to go cents thousand. The
gas company went into the United
States court and asked for relief in
equity, claiming that the proposed re-
duction meant virtual confscation of
their property, which was contrary to
the clause of the federal constitution
preventing the taking of property with
out due process of law. The city de-
INJURED on the ground that the feder-
al court had no jurisdiction. Judge
Jackson overruled the demurrer and
granted an injunction against the city
He held that the city had no right to fix
the price of an article of which it was a
consumer; that the action Of the Coun-
Gil would impair the validity of a con-
tract made with the gas company in
1916, and that the city had no right to do

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW.
Seyerest November Snowstorm for Man
Years.

Years.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. 15.-Re ports
from about 100 points in Minnesota, the
Dakotas and Manitoba indicate that dur
ing last night and to-day the heaviest
November snowstorm in twenty years
has fallen. Around ST. Paul and Mime
apolis the depth reached was from four
to six inches, but in the Dakotas and
Northern Minnesota it was considerably
deeper. The lumbermen rejoice over
the outlook, but to the farmers whose
threshing and fall blowing are brought
to standstill the snow is a serious mat
ter. Unless the snow melts away at
once the grain in shock cannot be
threshed and may be a total loss. About
20 per cent. of the wheat is still in shock
in the northern tier Of counties of North
Dakota. The grain in stack can be
saved and threshed during the winter.
Reports from various parts of the
Northwest indicate that the storm was
general. At Moorhead three inches of
snow fell and blizzard is threatening.
1t showed all day at st. Cloud. Half a
