THE ROMANCE of HISTORY. -
A. PARsON EDITOR.


THE ROMANCE of HISTORY. If
one desires to read of thrilling
tragedy, adventure and romance,
they have no occasion for going to
the pages of fiction for it. Just
turn to the. pages of Uuited States
history and you can find it with
out trouble. Read the victory OF
the pilgrims in those early days
when they went to church with a
bible in one hand and rifle in the
other ready to defend themselves
against the Indians at a moments
warning. Take note of their first
Sunday, when they approached
the shore and found that they
would not have time to land be-
fore the Sabbath began, notwith-
standing their long and disagree
able confinement in the boat they
waited until after the Sabbath be-
fore they made their landing.
ORIGIN OF THANKsGIvING.- In
the fall of 1921, one year after the
pilgrims landed, after great hard
ships had reduced their numbers
by death almost half, as they had
been successful in gathering a
bountiful harvest they appointed a
festival of thanksgiving. Mas-sa
soih, the great Indian chief who
held sway over all the tribes be-
tween Narragansett and Massachu
sets bays, was invited to join in
this festival, and he did so with
several of his followers.
The FIRST SLAVES IN New ENG
LAND.-The first negro slaves were
brought by a vessel which had
made trading voyage to the
West Indies in 1888. ''Behold
how great a matter a little fire
kindleth." Little did the first
slave owners realize what the slave
trade would cost the nation.
The FIRST MAIL SERv1CE.-In
1872 mail service was established
between Boston and New York by
way of Hartford. The round trip
was made once a month. Postage
was about eight cents for each let
Ter carried less than sixty miles,
and four cents extra for each adj
ditional one hundred miles.
FATHER MARoUETTE.-In 1873
Father Marquette the Catholic
priest started from Green Bay and
went down the Fox River, and
crossed over to the Wisconsin
river, he went down it in search of
the Mississippi River. On June
l7th he and Louis Joliet, his COM
panion, with their guides foated
out Of the Wisconsin into the
broad waters of the Mississippi.
They make many valuable dis
coveries.

WHAT terrible thing is selhshness
and greed says the Record, of Mahonoy.
1t has caused more misery and trouble
than any other evil that has cursed the
world. It is that terrible propensity
that blghts the western part of this
state; that has filed the church yard
with murdered women. That is now
turning out onto the cold highway and
commons the little children of the
workingmen of the coke region. 1t
hardens the heart and feelings of men
who would, otherwise, be good and kind.
1t employs murderous police and
soldiers to shoot down those that re-
fuse to obey its behest. 1t disgraces a
republic like the United State and
places in on par with the despotisms
of the old world. Greedl selfish greedl
1t belongs to no country, especially,
but exists in all where bad men are to
be found. 1t fills England, which is
overcrowed with its own native working
people, full to overhowing, with the
pauper labor of other countries. II
imports into Germany thousands Of
cheap laborers while its own labor
markets are filed to excess. No diff
ference whether country be mon
archy or republic, those teaches that
suck the blood of the toiling millions
will be found in it so long as partial
unjust laws are there to help them ac
complish their unholy work of oppres
sion and wrong.

Buildings OF the Worlds Columbian
Exposition will be dedicated in October.
1899, with imposing ceremonies The
exercises, extending over four days, EN-
brace military, musical, civic, oratoricaL
and spt ctacular features, Four days
have been reserved for the revelry and
Intoxicating excitement The cere-
monies will begin tuesday, October II,
and reach climax tile following day,
400 years from the hour Christopher Co
lumbus landed at Cat Island. They will
be patriotic and inspiring throughout
The blare of trumrets and the clash of
cymbals will mingle with the noise OF
marching troops and the impassioned
tones OF excited orators All these,
swelling into a grand diapason, will be
drowned by chorus of 1000 trained
voices, tuned to sing Columbian
anthem set and composed for the day.
When that melody dies away the music
of battle will charm the ear, as 10000
troops realize the rapture Of bloodless
combat Then the Columbian ball,
dazzling and spectacular in its appoint
ments, will be inaugurated to close the
festal ceremonies. This will bring the
exercises to triumphantend.- Chicago

knowledge that equals him In brilliancy

clever editor; and have you heard him
speak He's a splendid speaker. Now,
such man leaves no posthumous fame,
only a tradition. A great journalist is
like great actor---he leaves no coffin.
When he dies, all his brilliant writing
is stored away in Newspaper files, that
nobody ever looks up During his life
his influence is only indirect He
doesn't get credit for what he does.
