Soldiers Monument Association.
The Soldiers Monument Association has
sent out the following letter:
n~-. n. Gn-a..,Lo. oI 1909


sent out the following letter:
BUTLER. PA, November y, 1892.
MR-DEAR SIR:-The Batter Coun-
ty Soldiers Monument Association has
been incorporated by our Court a. an or
ganization, authorized By law to collect
funds and take other necessary steps for
the erection of monument, al the county
seat, to pepetuate the memory OF soldiers
from Butler comfy, who were killed in
battle, or died from wounds or diseases in
cured in tie military service OF the
country.
TIE Board of Directors. named in the
charter, at meeting this day held, ap-
pointed two we'll known, energetic citizens
in each election district in this county, as
collectors of funds in their respective dis
tricts, in aid of the erection Of this monu-
ment' Mr.-and yourself have been
appointed for the township Of. You
will please confer together and arrange for
thorough canvass of your district. All
persons who pay one dollar or more to the
monument fund are, by charter, members
of the association, and haYe right to vote
at all its meetings. Smaller amounts will
also be most gratefully received. Every
person in your district should have an op-
portunlty to subscribe This, of COURSE
the number of subscribers the more credit
able will be the work of the people of
Butler county.
Prompt action on the part of collectors
is earnestly requested. Reports from all
collectors will be expected on or before
January, 9th, 1893. On or before that
date each collector viii enclose his sub
scription book in the envelope sent here
with, addressed to |. J. AcCandless, ,Secre-
tary of the Ro6rd. and TIE funds collected
to Charles Duffy. Treasurer. On the 9th
Of January. 1898, the Board Of Directors
will determine the cost of the monument,
and this determination will be based on
the amounts subscribed, as shown by the
subscription books returned from each dis
trict.
Butler county has already too dong de-
laved this important work, which should
have been entered upon a quarter of a cen
tuary since. We are behind most of our
sister counties in the State in our patriot
ic effort Every impulse of gratitude and
patriotism should lead Us now to put forth
a determined effort TO complete within the
next year monument worthy of our he
roic dead and creoitable to the county
which they have honured with the sacrifice
of their lives.
The Board of Directors would not indi-
cate the subscription they expect from any
district. They may be allowed to suggest,
however, that in this county of Butler,
containing over ten thousand voters, a
subscription which would in the aggregate
amount to one dollar for each voter. would
insure us monument that would compare
favorably with any in the State. The kind
of monument Butler county is to have now
depends upon the collectors in the several
districts. Do your best TO make the work
a success
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD,
G.. ID. SWAIN, President.

"A possum was caught alive in Oil City
last Monday, and tie wits of Franklin now
think it funny that their Nimrods persist
in going thirty or forty miles away when
game is so abundant close at hand.
The first Sabbath of December of
each year is set aside by the Grand Lodge
of the Benevolent and Protective Order Of
Elks for services IN memory of the dead;
and these were held by the Butler Lodge
in the Opera House last Sunday afternoon.
The members Of the Lodge met at their
rooms, and marched to the Opera House
and occupied the stage; a fair audience was
present; Braid Black presided; the ritual
of the order for such services was read;
Rev. Hemingway delivered the sermon;
DR.. Black sang solo, Miss Campbell rend-
cred a voluntary; the closing ritual was
read and the audience dismissed,

considerable portion Of this quickly

MUcH OF the blame Of broken conf.
dences rests upon the one who has given
them. He has been too anxious for
sympathy or comfort or approval to
consider the possible cost to himself
or to the other. He feels that ne has
given a sacred trust when, in fact he
has required a great and perhaps i'm
possible favor He has no right to
demand SO hard a task or to infict so
heavy burden on his friend much,
less to reproach him with dlsloyalty i
he faints under the weight He
should at least make sure not only o.
his kind intentions, but Of his power
to do what he desires without undue

THERE is certain indefinite per,
centage Of convicts who wish to re-
form. OF these there is much smaller
percentage who can and do overcome
all difficulties and reform with no
other help than that of their own ex-
perience Of the suffering from persist
ence in evil courses. There are 9TH
ers, and these are perhaps the major
ity Of all, who wish to reform and who
will do if they are favored by circum-
stances. Finding circumstances against
them, they fail. There IS still another
class, and by no means small one,
in whom the wish to reform is enter
tanned, but is not persistent even under

Or all the necessaries that a COM
munity consumes in its ordinary life,
perhaps the major portion OF its de-
mand, because this is constant and
daily renewed, is under the control Of
its women. In their hands are the
economies of the household. Few men
ever ask or know what particular va
riety of products is consumed in the
kitchen. She who graces the home
and rules its details with 50 fine a
hand is arbiter there. Yet in most
households the greater part of the
family income must be devoted to
these expenditures, and the question
whether supplies are of local or other
manufacture becomes a vital one. In
the kitchen lie the sources of demand
whose supply. in great part, will effect
the question Of helping our home in
dustries. Let our women understand
thoroughly the purpose had in view,
let them become partners in our feel
ing and our purpose, and from the do
main of food supplies alone we may
keep to ourselves traffic worth thou

WHAT does persist in one class Of
convicts who wish to reform is the
self-indulgeuce and lack Of self-control
that sent them to prison originally.
They are no worse, perhaps. on their
release than many who will never SO
violate the criminal code as to be i'm
prisoned, but their self.indulgence will
lead them to repeat their acts Of law
.lessness. There is yet another and a
very small class who commit crime for
CRIMES sake. These only are the
really "hardened criminals They
are in the last stages Of moral idiocy,
and the only thing that can be done
for them is to lock them up where
they can do the least harm to
themselves and others.
