The Returns Coming in.

Tuesdays mail brought batch of
printed letters to the Benton postoffice
from the picture company whose can.
vassers recently did up this town in
fine style, and these letters were ad-
dressed to those who paid their fifty
cents in advance and gave sample
photo to have a crayon portrait made.
Now the tune they sing is a different
one. Hear it. "The portrait we make
free of charge, providing you buy a
frame of us. Crayon portraits without
frames cannot be delivered. We have
forty styles Of frames" Here they quote
prices from s. to $Io, and to get your
portrait and frame you must send them
$s.oo when they will be shipped {. o:
d., for balance. The cheeky part of
the letter is in its winding up: "lf our
terms are not satisfactory We will re-
:urn to you your small photo on re-
ceipt of five cent stamp and retain
your crayon for sample copy" This
is deliberate lie. The crayon por-
trait has not been made, nor will it be
until you purch ase frame Of them.
And while they demand additional pay
ment for the return of the photo, they
are as silent as the grave concerning
the fifty cents paid them in advance.
But no doubt there are times when
suckers" will bite, pay more for what
could be gotten nearer home for one
third the price and then complain in a
doleful strain of hard times. Selah =

EXPLOSION IN A MINI E.
TWO MEN ARE KILLED AND SEVERAL
TERRIBLY INJURED.

WILKES BARRE, May GA terrible
explosion of gas occurred in the Sand
drift Colliery of the West End Com.
pany at Mocanaqua, few miles below
here, at 7:3c this morning, resulting
IN the instant death of Fire-boss John
Prctheroe, the subsequent death of an.
other miner, the fatal injury of two and
the serious injury OF half dozen min.
ers and laborers. The mine had been
idle Sunday and Monday, and when
the gang entered this morning Fire
boss Protheroe went ahead with safe
ty lamp as a precautionary measure.
Turning up the Sand-drift gangway,
which has a pitch of As degrees, he
was out of the sight of the men.
The explosion came without warn
ing, and Protheroe's dishgured and
blackened corpse was hurled down the
incline at the feet Of the men. The
conclusion blew fragments of timbers
in all directions, and blew several oi
the men off their feet distance away
or dashed them violently against the
brattices.
Foreman Protheroe was Al years
old and leaves a wife and four child
rem. John Walters, aged 20, died at
II o'clock from bruises and internal
injuries. The following are fatally
bruised and burned: Henry Ritter,
aged Al; Charles Ritter, aged 20
Wallace DIETRICH, aged 81; William
Hooper, Frank DIETRICH, Mike Zoubie
and the Everhart brothers are injured
badly. The mine is shallow one
and Mine Inspector Williams says il
was unusually free from gas. Probab
ly during the two days suspension OF
work a blower or vent inthe coal seam
had opened and this released pocket
of gas, the presence Of which was en-
:irely unsuspected.

In those dread hours when freedoms cause
hung trembling in the scale
Perhaps the care Of many homes was borne on
shoulders frail,
And though no history notes their deeds in
rhetoric sublime,
From youth and hope faint hearts took cheer in
all that gloomy time;
And through her tears the soldiers wife some
times caught CLEANS of JOY,
And blessed kind fate for sparing her the brave
and manly boy
Those unnamed lads who bore their share of
bitter toll and trial,
Whose bOyish days were sparse of sports that
youthful hours beguile,
And who stayed at home protecting the pre-
cious household gods,
Though no monumental marble will ever mark
their sods,
Were band Of little heroes, guarding well their
homes and fires,
While the cause of human freedom was defended
by their sires.
The scholar walked thorny path in revou-
tion's time.
And boys found Education's height a rocky
mount to climb;
While he who then for Wisdoms smiles and
Learning'S favor sought,
BY kitchen hearth and flreside fame both
teacher was and taught;
For pedagOgues were welding the bayonet and
the sword,
And wrestling with the British troops and
Hesse's hireling horde.
But not on battlefelds alone nor in the halls OF
state
Were all the patriots found who made 1.-THE day
we celebrate;"
For often at the humblest post, far from the
public gaze,
Stood they who well deserved to wear the green
heroic bays.
Then let US think sometimes that we whom
freedom now enjoy,
Perchance may owe mite Of it to the colonial
boy.
Idon't begrudge to Washington, the soldier and
the sage,
And all the other patriots Of that great and
glorious age,
The need OF praise they earned so well in
camp and council hall,
By standing up for freedom like solid granite
WALL
But hereby enter protest and my signature af.
fix,
To the treatment by historians Of the Boys OF
Seventy-Six.
