How Waybaok Towns Are Doomed
Successfully.
The following, taken from the Hazleton
Sentinel by changing the name Of the
place, will suit Shenandoah as we'll;
How can this town DO doomed

Did you ever hear of Sudbury, Canada?
You didn't2 Well, there isn't much there.
Only IA nickle mine worth about half as
mucb rs a Shenandoah mine,
Three years ago there were only 800
people in Sudbury. They we're all squat
ters. Their idea of a house was a log
cabin; and Of a town "a collection Of cabins
with a struggling street and a few grog-
g%eries.
To-day it is bigger than Shenandoah.
There are dozens of big streets, There
are big, sky-scrsping buildings. -Four
| corner lots are worth rs much as the nickle
mine. The groggeries have put on style,
They are gilded places, brass, nickle and
mirror spcckled. The boom is on. The
e~quatter has rctreated into the woods.
| Stove.pipe hats and dress suits are seen
where the mining hat and overall long
held sway.
How was it doue2
Simply by advertising. Some few en-
ergetic citizens thought that if advertising
would sell a pstent medicine it would sell
town lots. 1t did, 1t was n sure thing, II
always is if you go about it in the right
woy.
Haven't we come advantages that might
be sot forth by advertising2
Did you ever notice the kind of adver-
Using we get abroad? When you see the
name of Shenandoah in the news dis
patches it is in connection with an Italian
murder, a Hungarian brawI, or some Other
sensation that comes from the unchecked
and unhindered correspondent Of tn,
irresponsible city paper.
That's bad advertising, these stories o
; cave-ins, of murders and lawlessness
Everything is charged to Shenandoah

"I was afraid to, it was so naughty"
"My dear, Jesuf saw you when you
were angry, and He wanted you to
come and let Him forgive you. He
will forgive you now if you will ask
Him."
"I will, then," and the little one fell
down. on her knees, and with tears roll
ing down her cheeks, prayed, dear
Jesus, 1 am so sorry [ got angry
please to forgive me, and keep me from

This is sign that she was, because
she felt so sorry.

sin, don't run away from Jesus, but
run right to him and confess, and ask
forgiyeness.-TheL Little Ones.

A "Band of Mercy" Girl.

A coal cart was delivering an order
in Clinton Place the other day, and
the horse made two or three great ef'
forts to back the heavily loaded cart to
the spot desired, and then became OBJ
stinate. The driver began to beat the
animal, and this quickly collected a
crowd. He was a big fellow, with a
fierce look in his eyes, and the onlook-
ers were chary abont interfering,
knowing what would follow. ~ pity
the horse, but don't want to get into q
row. remarked one.
"I'm not in the least afraid to tackle
him." put in q young man with a
long neck, "hut about the time | get
him down along would come police
man and arrest us both"
The driver was beating the horse,
and nothing was being done about it,
when little girl about eight years
old approached and said:
"Please, mister"
"Well, what yer WANT"
'Tf you'll only stop, pll get all the
children around here and we'll carry
every bit of the coal to the manholc
and let you rest while we're doing
it,"
The man stood up and looked around
in Il defiant way, but, meeting with
only pleasant looks, he began ID give
in, and after a moment he smiled and
said
"Mebbc he didn't deserve it, but
Pm out of sorts to-day. There goes
the whip, and perhaps q lift on the
wheels will help him."
The crowd swarmcd around he cart,
a hundred hands helped to push, and

Humorous.

The following story is SO good of its
kind that we feel inclined to run the
risk of censure from any whose sense
of propriety is greater than their sense
of hulnor and quote it:
'Sam was 4 good old colored minis
ter of the Methodist church. One Sun
day night he began the service by an
nouncing u hymn from book which
he held in his hand.

The Thrifty Housekeeper.

She takes note of the kitchen fire.,
and closes up the dampers when she
is not using it, and makes one fire do
all the work it will at once. She saves
her nice "drippings," and makes
them serve in cooking instead of but:
ter. She saves all the odds and ends
of bread and meat left over from meals
and works them up into appetizing
and nutritious dishes, instead of
throwing them away. Her clothing
she keeps clean by the use of aprons;
she has suits of clothes suitable for
dirty work. She "turns" her sheets
when they grow thin in the middle.
Her worn table-cloths are cut up into
napkins for everyday use. She keeps
rugs spread over places in the carpet
that are subjected to the hardest wear.
She carefully. dries her tinware so
that it will not rust out. She keeps
her old brooms for rough use, and 80
prolongs the term of service of her
best broom. She uses up her worn gar
ments in making quilts and comforts,
or in rugs and rag-carpets, and 80 In
thousand ways she saves what, If was
ted, would be pure loss, land do nobody
any good.
laA millionaire was riding not long
ago on a horse-car. A cart laden
with bricks passing along dropped one
in the street. The millionaire got off
the car, ran and picked up the brick,
and carried it in his hands to some
houses he was building up town:
''Every BRICK" said he to a friend
who was with him, "costs me a cent
and half apiece" His millions he
had accumulated by saving Titles.
and more than one charitable institu-
ton has been endowed by his saw
ings. -

Gus Boys"

A temperance lecturer was preach-S
ing on his favorite theme. Now,
boys, when I ask you a question you
must not be afraid to speak up and
answer me. When you look around
and see all these fine houses, farms,
and cattle, do you ever think who
owns them all now? Your fathers
own them do they not ?"
yes, sir. shouted a hundred
voices.
"Where will your fathers bein twen-
ty years ~
"That's right. And who will own
their property then?"
"Us boys" shouted the urchins.
Fright. Now, tell me did you ever,
in going along the street, notice the
drunkards lounging around the public
house door, waiting for some one to
treat them?"
Eyes, sir; lots of them"
"Well, where will they be in twen-s3
ty years from now?"
Dead" exclaimed the boys.
"And who will be the drunkards
then ?"
"Us boys"
Everybody was thunder-struck. It.
sounded awfully 1t was awful ; but
it was true.-Exchange.
What are the fathers and mothers,
of the land, doing to save theirs boys
from becoming the drunkards of twen-s
ty years hence? 1--WE are educating
them they say, "and we are sending
them to the Sunday School 10 be taught
the catechisn.' That is good as far as
it goes, but the boys need to be taught
by example-taught at home never to :
touch or taste alcohol; to shun the
club room and the bar-room and to:
hate the drink traffic.
1t is awful to think, that, in twenty
years from to-day, thousands of boys;
who are now growing up, will be bloat-s
ed drunkards, disgrace to their fami-
lies and a nuisance in the community.
Yes, it will be so, and the fathers
and mothers know it. How strange
that so little effort is being made to
save the dear boys.

How to Decline a Treat.

The following conversation was
heard between two coliegians, who
were discussing a class dinner:
"Of course" said one with conse-
uuential touch of self-complaeency
and patronage which only length Of
days can cure, "if fellow hasn't wit
enough to stop, he'd better be careful
at first. Some heads are built weak,
you know"
Careful in what?" interrupted I,
and both laughed.
"Why, drinking, of course said
the first speaker. IA fellow has 20
take his seasoning sooner or later.
Some can stand it. Some can not, at
least for WHILE"
He was, as have intimated, 8 fresh
man. His friend, bearded senior,
the only son of rich man, slapped
him good-humoredly on the shoulder.
"When was your age, old fellow,
my father said to me, If I had my
life to life live over, 1 would never take
q glass of wine or smoke cigar an
swered, 1t would be foolish not to pro-
fit by what such sensible man says:
II have never tasted wine or touched
tobacco), and 1 am glad of it-gladder
every day live. l might have been
built with strong head-and then,
again 1 might not"
"What do you say when you are Of
fered treat?"
II say, No, thank you, I never take
it. Generally that settles the matter
:. aietly." a.,
."And if they poke fun at you"
II let them poke and then stand
ready to put them to bed when their
heads give out"
There are-for the comfort of moth
ers be it said many 'fellow" strong
enough to maintain this stand, sensi.

worth taking. 1t is the fool who med
