LUST AND LOVE.

We left the swart bank of the sluggish Nile,
Where fleets of traffic block its gaping
mouth,
And over many tedious inland mile
We Journeyed toward the south.
At last we came beside a stony pile
That reared its head above the drifted
sand,
Looking across the ages with smile
could not understand.
1gazed upon that sight weary while,
A woman's head with body of a beast,
And vainly tried the twain to reconcile,
Until the night had ceased.
We floated back by lotus lake and isle,
And watched the ibis take his MONDAY
rest
Beside the scaly sluggard crocodile,
Our riddle still unguessed.
But 10, the storms Of lust at times deflle
My body couchant where the sandbeds
drift;
And yet above the vicious and the vile
A skyward face lift.
The lions body OF a bestial guile,
The human face that loves, believes and
thinks,
Unlock the puzzle of the quaint old style
That built the symbol Sphinx.

Tired of His Talk.

At a recent trial in Scotland a certain
lady got into the witness box to be ex-
amined, when the following conversa-
ton took place between her and the op-
posing counsel:
Counsel-How old are your
Miss Jane-Oh, weel. sir, am an un-
married woman, and dinna think it right
to answer that question.
The Judge-Oh, yes, answer the gen.
tleman. How old are you?
Miss Jane-Weel-a-weel, am fifty.
Counsel-Are you not more2
Miss Jane-Weel, am sixty.
The inquisitive lawyer still further
asked if she had any hopes of getting
married, to which Miss Jane replied:
"Weel, sir, Wilma tell lee; hinna
lost hope yet" scornfully adding, "bu,
widna marry you, for am sick and
tired O. your palaver already, ,"-Londor

ON THE DIAMOND.
The Tigers Come Out Victorious in Two
Great Games.

After dancing at the ball all night the
Tigers got ready on Saturday morning
and drove to Berwick, Columbia county.
where they gave one of the prettiest ex-
hibitions ever seen in that town. The
home club was waiting for them, and
as the Tigers reputation as ball players
had preceded them, Berwick was
strengthened with the Danville state
league club battery, Freddy" Mccoy
and Stevens, and First Baseman Hoff-
ner.
The game began in the presence OF
600 people, and for the next hour and
twenty-five minutes the two teams
played ball as they never did before.
The visitors were somewhat discouraged
when they saw the strong club that was
against them, but after the first inning
they found they were the equals of the
professionals and started in to win the
game, and they did it in scientific style.
Better team work was never seen on
any diamond. When one of their play
ers reached first the following batters
would sacrifice in order to advance him
base, and these tactics, coupled with
two costly errors by the Berwick players,
sent Gillespie around to home three
times. In the sixth inning one of the
home club reached third base. That
was the nearest they came to scoring
during the game.
The result of the game was complete
surprise to the audience, but they gave
the Tigers credit for what they had
done and extended them the freedom of
the town after the game. The Freeland
boys were loud in their praise of the
manner in which they were treated,
and arrangements will probably be made
for another game in few days.
The Berwick correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. in his account of the
game, has this to say of the Tigers:
''rhe visitors fielding was exceptionally
fine, while their gentlemanly conduct
reflects credit upon the organization and
community that they represent"
Following is the score:

GE MS IN VERSE.
E'ate.


Two shall be born the whole wide world apart.
And speak in different tongues, and have no
thought
Each of the others being and no heed.
And these DER unknown seas to unknown
lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death,
And, all unconsciously, shape every act
And bend each wandering step to this one end
That one day out of darkness they shall meet
And read life's meaning in each others eyes,
And two shall walk some narrow way Of life,
80 nearly side by side that should one turn
Ever SO little space to left or right
They needs must stand acknowledged, face to
face;
And yet, with wistful eyes that never meet,
With cropping hands that never clasp, and lips
calling in vain to ears that never hear,
ihey seek each other all their weary days
And die unsatisfied; and this is Fate.

The Lonesome Husband.

The Lonesome Husband.
Since she went home
The evening shadows linger longer here,
The winter days fill so much of the year,
And even summer winds are chill and drear,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The robins note has touched u minor strain,
The old glad songs breathe but sad refrain,
And laughter sobs with hidden, bitter pain,
Since she went home.
Since she went home
How still the empty rooms her presence
blessed
Untouched the pillow that her dear head
pressed.
My lonely heart hath nowhere for its rest
Since she went home.
Since she went home
The long, long days have crept away like
years,
The sunlight has been dimmed with doubt and
fears,
And the dark nights have rained in lonely
tears,
Since she went home.

In the OIL fashioned way.
How long again to hear 'em
Flown forth from soul to soull

An the bass mighty roll;
But the times is very diff'rent,
An the music heered today

In the realms of endless day

Sherwood. of Berwick,
Over 500 hundred people saw the game
between the Tigers and Hazleton at the
park yesterday afternoon. If ever a
game was played in earnest this was the
one. The clubs were nearly the same
as last Sunday, when fourteen innings
were played, and the manager of each
was determined to win. In the first in
ming the visitors led off at lively gait,
and before the Tigers could recover
themselves two runs were scored.
In the second the home team got one
man around, making the score to |.
Inning afer inning then passed without
either side being able to score. The
pitchers were hit hard and often enough,
but some one was under the ball every
time it was struck.
Sixteen Tigers were retired on fly balls
and twelve of Coughs pets went out the
same way. The work of the fielders on
both sides was simply wonderful, and at
the end of the eighth it looked as though
the Freeland club would be beaten.
When the ninth opened p. j. Boyle
struck out and Mcclellan made n
diamond hit, which reached first ahead
of the runner. Hazleton now consider
ed the game as good as won, and the
cheers of their numerous admirers could
be heard far distance off.
However, in order to finish the game,
Gatfney went to the bat and popped up
a safe fly to right centre. Hope again
entered the hearts of the Tigers, and
when Gaffney went to second on Trim
ble's hit the excitement was intense.
Before Hazleton players knew it both
runners had advanced another base
each.
The game depended on the next
batter, and as Barney McFadden, the
comedian of the club, took his position
at the plate the audience was beyond
control. Everything depended on him,
and when he announced to the spectators
that he was going to smash the ball one
half the crowd believed him.
At least 800 people were trying to
coach the men on bases The ground
was in an uproar, but there was no inter
terence with the game. Everybody was
talking excitedly when the ball left the
pitchers hand Nobody could tell how
it was done, but the ball was seen to
rise suddenly and the Hazleton fielders
were following it. When they found it
Gatfney and Trimble were both home,
and the winning run had been made.
The next batter was put out at first,
and Hazleton was easily retired in it's
half of the inning.
Following is the score:

1t is singular fact that the most
precious gems are composed of the
most common substances. The dia-

the other hand, is nearly pure alumina,

for crystilized alumina is corundum,

this designation are sometimes more
valuable than diamonds of the same
weight. The ruby, the sapphire, the

the oriental amethyst, the oriental

stones are all alumina, the varieties

different kinds OF fish. Russia has
some of the greatest fisheries of the
world. Millions upon millions of dol
lars worth of fish are taken every
year from the Volga, the Caspian and
the Black seas and all the caviare of
the world comes from here. You see
this caviare sold in cans and tubs in
the markets. It looks like bird shot
sprinkled with salt water, and it is
made up of the eggs of the sur
geon, which are killed for this pur-
pose. ~
The queerest markets OF Rus
STA are those of the winter,
when all sorts of fish and
meats are sold in a frozen state. The
Russian winter is so cold that these
fish are caught at the beginning of it,
are placed in watts and are sold in
blocks to suit the customers. The
dealers buy them by the tons and
store them away for their retail GUS
toners of the winter. Beef, mutton
and poultry are frozen the same way
and a butcher can lay in during Octo-
Der his full supply of meats for the
next six months. The meats are froz-
en- so hard that knife cannot cut
them, and it is necessary to saw them
up or chop them with an AK Splint-
ers Of frozen meat fly about over the
market and children and beggars col
lect these and take them
home to their families. There
are many curious things sold
in the markets here, and you can
buy cells and snakes and chicken legs
Lambs feet are sold as a great dainty
and calves feet are bought for soup
bones. Among the oils which are used
by the peasants for salads and cook
ing is sunflower Oil, and one of the
great industries OF this country is sun
flower raising. The peasants eat sum
flower seeds in large quantities and
they nibble at them and chew upon
them as we DO peanuts. You can
hardly linda man who has not some
sunfower seeds in his pocket and
everywhere you go you see women
with baskets of these black and gray
seeds for sale. They taste very much
like pumpkin seeds and the peasants
eat them at their gatherings just as
the Chinese do watermelon seeds at
the theaters.
