night, having retired early with the lit

peculiar noise, which she soon became
convinced was caused by some one try
ing to open the door between her room
and the ono adjoining. She wasn't q
bit scared but got up quickly. turned

The Men bitterly Disappointed
W1LKEsDAREE, July 10.-The grievance
committee representing the employees of
the Lehigh Valley division of the Reading
system formulated list of grievances
ABOUT SIX weeks ago and presented them to
the Reading officials at philadelphia On
Friday night Vice President Voorhees,
mailed his reply to the demands of the men.
rumor was current yesterday to the eff.
iect that nearly all the concessions asked
for by the men had been granted. A United
Press reporter made diligent search and
inquiry in railroad circles last night, but
failed to find any confirmation of the
rumor.
On the other hand it is said that the
grievance committee held secret meeting
at Sayre. Pa, on Saturday, and shat the
reply of Vice President Voorhees, was en-
tlrely different. From what was learned
last night this reply says in effect: 1--WE
cannot at this time grant any more wages.
This would increase the expenses over a
million dollars per year The other griey-
snces will be looked otter Mt once, and the
company will do all it can to remedy any
existing evil"
The brotherhood of r "a road Trainmen
held secret meeting y. this city last
night, at which the reply of Vice President
voorhees, was also made known The out
come OF the negotiations was anything but
satisfactory to the men, and while thew
decline to discuss the question in any way
with outsiders, it is pretty we'll known
that they are bitterly disappointed. They
hold that the grievances submitted were
Just and reasonable. and even if the COM
pany granted all of them at once it would
only place them on an equal footing with
their company employees on the other divi-
sions Of the Reading system.
Only very few talk strike at this time.
owing to the slack business on the road.
and the leaders refuse to discuss the ques-
ton i'll any way at present.

SIX MILLION NILES WE'VE SPED.
Once Again Old Mother EartI, Has Rolled
Around the sun.


Around the Sun
This is the beginning OF a new year,
and we have made a very long journey.
Old travellers say that when man gets
lost in the wilderness he goes round and
round in trying TO go ahead, and he finds
himself following his own tracks in
circle. i don't know whether this is so
or not, but do know that today we are
right exactly where we were a year ago,
and yet we have travelled round and
round nearly 5000, 900 miles at the rate
OF ! 900 miles a minute. Astronomers
tell us that we are right exactly where
we were a year ago.
This is mighty curious TO me. Who is
doing it? This world has been going on
this grand round for thousands of years,
maybe millions OF years, and is still at
it. What is it? for l want to know.
Why doesn't it stop and rest? What did
it ever start for? If this earth was made
for US, why does it have to go round and
round forever and forever? If it has TO
go round the sun, why wouldn't circle
do as well as an ellipse-why go at alp
Couldn't the universe be still and every
planet be independent? Why does the
earth have to turn somersault every
day and whirl as round at the rate of q
thousand miles an hour? Who is doing
all this, and what is it done for, and when
is the whole business to come to an end,
or focus, or a transformation?
confess my ignorance and feel as
humble as dog when contemplate the
wonders and mysteries of creation.
don't understand how the corn grows,
nor the flowers bloom, nor the birds
hatch their young, and yet realize that
everything has been made for our good.
our comfort, our pleasure.
/ was popping corn last night for
little grandchild, and know that in the
grand design of Providence this little
corn was created just to please the chill
dren and nothing else. know that cot
ton grows to ciothe the millions in sum-
mer, and the sheep were created TO give
us wool in winter, and the cattle to give
us milk and butter and shoes. Even our
complaints and ailments are provided
for in natures remedies, for we have
quinine and calomel and castor oil and
opium and turpentine and mineral
springs, and the best are the cheapest
All the best things are the cheapest-the
air and water and fire, the bread and
meat and vegetables, and the fruits of
the earth and the material for clothing.
The evidences of design and care and
love are all around us everywhere and in
everything, and 1 cannot understand how
thoughtful man can be an agnostic or
an infidel. / want to thank somebody
every morning for preserving me through
the night, for 1 know that sleep is near
akin to death, and / cannot keep my own
heart beating. There is some great thing
behind me, and will trust him because
he has been good to me and sustained me
all my life. The best religion is to trust
in the Lord and do good.-Bill Arp in

Chinese New Year Customs.

hecustom of giving presents and par
ticularly that of exchanging New Years
calls is essentially Chinese. The coinci-
dence of these two rather peculiar acts
of brotherly love coexisting in Holland
and Scotland should furnish cause for
thought. 1t is little singular certainly
that the Chinese, who are not an over
charitable or forgiving race, should en-
join the forgiveness of all debts at the
beginning of the new year.
1t Is an amusing spectacle in China to
see the creditor mercilessly hunting down
the debtor during the few days that re-
main. No one is exempt from the neces-
sity, for in order to pay his own debts he
must in turn collect what is due to him.
The debtor who cannot fulfill his obliga-
tions by New Years goes into bankrupt
cy by the operations of a custom stronger
than law. He undoubtedly earns the con-
tempt OF his fellow men, but at least he
is free from their persecution. His debts
are forgiven with quite as much sincerity
as could be expected under the circum-
stances.
Besides this painful phase of Chinese
Yuletide there are other preparations to
be made for the fitting celebration of the
great three day festival, beginning with
the first day OF the first month. The
red peach paper which has been removed
from the doorway must be replaced, and
therefore about this time the profession
al letter writer of the Chinese quarter
takes his station on the street corner and
is busily employed in writing sentences
of good omen Naturally some of these
gentlemen are more popular than 9th
ers, letter writer who claims TO have
passed one of the inferior civil service
examinations, or who at one time has
been connected with fashionable JOSS
house. being more in demand than he
who has picked up his smattering of
knowledge at school, or by what is an
important factor in Chinese education
self help.
1t is quite customary also to bring
these red paper slips to the josshouse,
where for a trifing fee they are stamped
with the seal of the joss. Certainly it is
worth taking some trouble with little
piece of paper which is to do duty for
an entire year, for as soon as the slips
have been prepared and stamped they
are glued to the doorposts against the
time when the evil spirits shall return
and make the last state of the man worse
than the first. The moral which the
Saviour pointed out to his disciples, that
spasmodic effort is inevitably followed
by reactions unfavorable TO the true
spiritual development, is fully borne ont
by the history of the Chinese people

N.,, Year,s superstitions.

The following superstitions in connec.
ton with New Years are still firmly be-
ieved in various parts of England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales:
On New Years morning go to well
or fountain and leave an apple and nose
gay, and the water will keep fresh and
be more wholesome all the year.
If dark complexioned man crosses
your threshold first on New Years day
you will be prosperous; if blond, I'M
lucky, and if redheaded man dire dis
aster will surely follow.-Selected.
