We had captured our man, but there
was no cheering. There lay our dead
under the leafless pear trees, but no
one stood over them with words OF re-

those little stockings until the memory
Of them was burned into our very souls
forever and forever. The wife shrieked
curses upon our heads. The aged
mother knelt and prayed God to punish
us, and now and then the dying father
groaned as his life ebbed away. And
yet we neither seemed to see nor hear.

A WARTIME CHRISTMAS.
One Occasion When n Capture Brought
Sorrow to the victor's Heart.

One Occasion When n Capture Brought
Sorrow to the victor's Heart.
Some of the scouts had brought in
word that guerrilla leader whom we
had long sought to kill or capture was
at farmhouse five miles away, having
only a man or two with him. The or
ders were to take fifty men and seek
his capture.
It was the night before Christmas in
one of those last bloody years of war.
There was light snow on the ground
and the wind had an edge which cut
like knife.
As we rode off up the mountain road
and saw the farmhouse lights twinkle
here and there l wondered if Santa
Claus would be forgotten in all of
them. There were children there, and
though wars musletry had kept them
fearful, and wars blood-stains had
paled their faces, they surely would not
forget the legend of the reindeers and
the chimney. So hoped, at least.
1t was a cold, dreary ride, but we
reached the old farm house at last. A
scout sent on ahead came back to re-
port that our man was there. 1t was
his home-his roof tree. Dangerous as
he knew it to be, he had stolen back on
the night before Christmas to spend a
few hours with wife and children
with the gray-haired father and mother
who sat in the chimney corners on this
night and smoked their pipes.

we moved up to surround the house. /
saw. too, couple of children seated
together on the knee of the man we
had come to surprise, and, beside him,
with her hand on his shoulder. was his
wife. And ! saw another sight as 1
stood for a moment-a sight that struck
me like blow. There beside the old
fashioned fireplace hung two little
stockings, writing the coming OF Santa
Claus Others saw it, too, and they
groaned out as If wounded.
Well, the man refused to surrender
he did not know our strength, and
perhaps he hoped to beat us off. He
killed two of our men and wounded a
third right on the start. Then our men
began firing into the house. 1t was all
over in five minutes We entered to
find the man lying desperately wound
ed. Beyond him lay one of the children
gasping its last and at the right of the
fireplace the old grey-haired father
with his life-blood yelling out Of q
wound N his side.

Wednesdays Republican has the fol-
lowing article appropriate to the times:
1t is about two years since the newspa-
per publishers of Schuylkill county en-
tered into an agreement that they would
give no free advertising in the shape OF
local puffs" to any church entertainment
society fairs, picnics or what not requiring
job work, or advertising of any kind, the
managers of which went to amateur or
other job offices with their cash custom
In many cases this rule has been deviated
from. But now that the picnic, camp
fire and camp meeting season is on, we de-
sire to refresh the minds of the Schuylkill
Press Association on this particular rule.
People who court the newspapers for
free advertising only are of no earthly use to
us. 1t is on the came principle that men
run upa big store bill with one merchant
and as soon as they get little cash they
forget their benefsctor and go somewhere
else to spend it, thus doing great injustice
to their true friend. Newspaper men gem
orally stick to their friends and stand by
each others business interests. This latter
is what the county association was formed
to preserve Every one of the newspapers
have good job printing offices connected
with them, and can do any sort of printing
required, and do it clesnly. Societies,
churches or others who constantly profit by
free newspaper advertising must remember
this fact, that their paying patronage must
hereafter go where they get their chsrit-

EDITORS ON A JAUNT.

They Are Now on the Road Enjoying
Their Annual Outing.
For the past eighteen years the editors
connected with tho Pennsylvania Editorial
Association have been the guests of the
Pennsylvania Railroad for period during
the summer season, and have been afforded
opportunities to visit places Of interest
along the line selected by the Association.
Heretofore the outings have taken place
about the last week of June, but to better
suit the.convenience of all concerned the
trip was fixed later this year. Scranton,
the metropolis of the coal region, was
| fixed as the rendezvous, and from thal
point the members of the association made
the start for the outing.
These outings are very popular and al
least three hundred people take part in
them each year. The tourists include the
editors, their wives or daughters, or dsugh-
ters of other editors, They spend week
having jolly old-fashioned time, and it is
taken for granted that no one shall stand
upon ceremony, but consider the affair a
family machine. This policy serves to put
the think-pots of the editors IN refreshed
condition and sends them back to their
desks in good humor. Through the fore
sight of the Executive Committee, assisted
by r. Il. Thomas, Sr., treasurer and
secretsry and his son, K H., Jr., an
interesting program has been arranged
for the Association this year. The route
lies over the gravity road from Scranton to
/ L. 20 hr
steam cars to Albany, N. Y, and from
there by boat to New York city.
To Messrs. j. r. Wood, General Passen
ger Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and his gentlemanly assistant, George W.
Boyd, great credit is due for the treat and
entertainment that follows. Nothing is
left undone to make all feel comfortable
and perfectly at home, and not an incident
occurs that would tend to NEAR the pleasure
of the trip. The two gentlemen generally
remain with the excursionists during the
entire trip to see that the schedule is prop
erly carried out and that convenient stops
are made.
The Schuylkill county contingent left
yesterday morning and joined the main
body of the association AT Wilkes Barre,
who arrived there about noon on special
train from Harrisburg via Sunbury.
At Wilkes Barre the officials of the
Delaware s. Hudson Railroad furnished a
special train and took the members to
Scranton arriving there at 1;90 p. m.
Here they were met by committee of
the Scranton Press Club and citizens and
taken to the different hotels in carriages.
