the brave little woman could hardly
control her sobs, as she realized that
the thousands of dollars were right
fully hers. But as they sat in the
twilight after dinner, the little group
listened to the story OF Mr..
Mann's life, his losses and
trlumphs, and then once more was
told the story OF Mr.. Slocum's going
from home and never returning Just
then George remarked: Mother, we
should have man to look after all
that money" And when Mrs. Slocum
took the boys hand in hers and laid
it on that OF her friend of long ago,
she said: Yes, dear, and here is the
Mann"
Hittie and the Junior went out in
to the winter twilight together.
Down the long village street, and then
back across the fields, over the little
bridge, They stopped a moment in
the darkened hall and listened to the
pleasant hum of voices in the little
parloI.
Mamma I'll tell you how we will
arrange this, George may have the
Mann, but love Boise best"

The editor could not see that the
man was trying to still a tempest in
his bosom when he came in but never
let on.
Good morning." he said, with af-
fluent politeness.
II believe" replied the visitor, stiff
ing his emotion, "that l sent you a

temperance societies asking that the

"Well, sir, read it now," and the
colonel fercely thrusted a copy of the
paper at him. Read, sir, read" he
went on, wildly quoting: "Colonel
Brown received a bushel of potatoes
from churches and temperance soci-
cites Think of that, sir. A bushel
OF potatoes! What in the name Of
Justice, truth and equity has % bushel

as the colonel raved and ranted, the
editor looked at the cold, cruel type
standing out in horrid relief and was
utterly speechless.-Detroit Free

PRINCE GEORGE OF ENGLAND.

Various Anecdotes Illustrative of
His Character and Tastes.
The exuberant appreciation of life,
it's curious humors, it's variety, its
pretty women and it's convivial men,
on the part OF Prince George, Eng
lands heir presumptive, has been Illus
trated by many incidents in his 27
years. About seven years ago his al
lowance was reduced by his father for
some shortening. Prince George was
not the kind of a young man to alter
his habits to fit his lessened income,
and the result was that both ends
were very far from meeting. During
this period of perjury his aunt, the
Princess Beatrice, who married Prince
Henry of Battenberg, became a
mother, and shortly the day of christ
enig presents arrived. Among the
gifts was battered pewter mug from
Prince George. 1t bore the inscription.
"From Prince George of Wales to his
cousin, with the hope that when he
grows up and is called upon to make
christening presents to his little cousins
he will have the means to make more
suitable gifts than this" A few days
later the Princes allowance was re-
stored. When he took command of
the Thrush, Prince George also as
sumed the customary duty of con-
Quoting the Sunday morning services
on the ship, and startled the whole
ships company by reciting: Owe have
done those things thatwe ought to have
done, and have left undone those
thing that we ought not to have
DONE" The most celebrated words
of the present heir presumptive, how
eyer, were addressed to his brother
at ball in West Indian town where
the brothers had stopped on their
voyage around the world. Prince
George had danced only with the pref
ty girls and had left Prince Albert Vic
tor to swing labnriously the old ladies'
After two hours of this, Prince Albert
Victor drew his brother aside and pro-
tested against this division of social
duties and pleasures. ooh, you 60 off
into a corner and sing God save your
grandmother" was the response of
Prince George, and he returned to
the girls.

Resemblance Between Husband
and Wife

1t is by no means a new theory that
man and woman who have been
married great many years grow to
resemble each other, not only in man
ner and voice, but actually, as to
features and expression. Quite re-
Gently the Photographic association
OF Geneva has been investigating the
truth of this. theory by the aid Of the
camera. The photographs of seventy
eight elderly or very old married cou-
pies were taken, and an equal number
OF family groups. The result proved
quite satisfactory to holders of this
theory, inasmuch as in twenty-four
cases the resemblance between hus-
band and wife was much greater than
that between brother and sister, and
in thirty cases more it was fully as
great. The failure of the other TWEEN
ty-four old couples to realize the ex-
pectations of those interested in the
matter is supposedly due to "incom-
patibility of disposition" which time
was apparently unable to combat in
it's effects.

AFTER "a YEARS.
A STORY REroLD.

The Colored Brother and the Soldier
With the Wooden Leg.
There was once a man who had q
wooden leg
The man was an officer in the Union
army. He had lost his meat leg as
the little boy said, at Sharpsburg
But the wooden leg was such good
one that it's owner still passed for
biped, even among some of his intim
ate friends.
One day a runaway negro, q contra
band, strolled into camp, and the Off
Ger engaged him as his body servant.
After looking long upon the wine
one night at little dinner, the officer
came home to his tent. He called his
contraband to help pull off his boots.
NOW SAM" he said, "be careful.
One of these boots is tight, and it
most pulls my leg out to get it off.
Besides feel rather fiimsy tonight"
Use allus keerful, boss" replied
Sam, and he carefully removed the
first boot.
When the contraband began to pull
ut the other boot the officer loosened
the straps of the wooden leg a little.
Sam pulled hard and things came with
rush.
There! There! I told you to be
careful" shouted the officer, as the
leg came off. IL was afraid you'd pull
that leg Off"
Sam saw the leg protruding from
the top of the boot which he had pull
ed off.
His eyes bulged out like Holsters,
and he yelled just once as he sprung
for the door.
"Lemme 60, lemme CO." he shrieked
as he dashed through the group out
side. "Inever done nuffinp And he
was still yelling when he disappeared
in the woods. They never saw him in
camp again.-Boston Herald.

The Right to Fresh Milk on Sunday

been decided in the island of Arran,
where Robert Kelso, a farmer and an
elder in the Free Kirk. was admonish-
ed by his church session for supplying
fresh milk to the Duchess of Hamilton
on Sunday. The minister held that
as the Jews of old only received fresh
mamma six days in the week, the Ouch
ess had no right to expect fresh milk
ON seven. But the elder was contu-
macious, and appealed to the presby-
terry. He argued that his milk was
not mama, or miraculous, and per-
versely refused to remain fresh for
twenty-four hours. The presbytery
took this view OF the case, and ORDER

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1892-10-10

Rev. Dear Sir.-The twenty first of
the present month, according to the
modern computation of time, is men,
orabe day in the annals of the Christian
religion. On that day this country, on
which it is our happy lot to dwell, was
discovered by Columbus, man distin-
guished for character and earnestness of
purpose. Not merely influenced by
earthly gain or low ambition, but urged
by a knowledge of science and strong
faith, he resolved to go in search of a
new continent, and thereby be the
means of bearing the lignt of faith to
nations seated in darkness and in the
shadow of death.
His first act was to plant the cross and
raise his voice in humble thanks to the
Most High, for his own preservation and
that of his companions for having safe
ly reached the shore after his perilous
journey over the waters of the deep;
with heart and soul, on bended knee
they sing the praises of God, and invoke
the name Mary, Salve Regina.
In compliance with the proclamation
of the chief magistrate of the country,
and also by sanction of our holy father,
we will set apart this day, as one sacred
to our Heavenly Father and consecrate
it to His services, by abstaining from SER
vile works and spending it in sacred acts
of religion.
Wherefore, we request the clergy of
this diocese to announce to the faithful,
that on this day services of thanksgiving
will be celebrated in all our churches,
and that they prepare a suitable address
explaining the cause of this great solem-
nifty. The mass to be said or sung is
that of the Holy Trinity. The holy
abstinence on that day, allowing the use
of flesh meats.
WIN. O'HARA, Bishop of Scranton.
