the winter so as to keep my ears in condition,

parted.
1t makes no difference how much money
there is in the country, the laboring man will
not get hold of it unless he works for it, and
if there is no work to do be will not get it at
all.
l have a prediction to make. This is
something so unusual for your humble SER
want to do Mr.. Editor, that your readers will
be shocked But l shall make the attempt
So here goes for the prediction. The house
wife of the next century (and also those OF
the present century who live long enough
will not have any tin or iron cooking
utensils. She will use aluminium cooking
dishes, which are light, easily cleaned and
practically indestructable. Many Shenan
doah mother can then allow their dear
daughters to perform a little, just little, OF
the kitchen work without soiling their dear,
lovely little hands. That's prediction No. l.
Watch for No. 2.
There are large number of Shenandoah
workmen out of employment. Three days
a week at the mines, and the other industries
curtailiug expenses, does not present a very
bright outlook. With such state of affairs
would it not be a good thing for the borough
to do all necessary grading and street work
to give employment to some of the poor
men who find it hard to get along. If there
is any work to be done this winter by the
borough, it strikes me Council couldn't dc
a better thing for the unemployed than Ia
set them at such work before the winter
comes. A prominent business man made the
suggestion to me yesterday, and therefore
present it to the members of the Borough
Council for their consideration.
l was cOnversing in front of an East Centre
street business place with the proprietor the
other day, when the conversation turned
upon the dullness of the times. There was a
lull in the conversation, when l noticed his
attention was directed to the attics of his pet
dog upon the pavement. "Ah, how l envey

The animal was biting flea on the end of
his tail.
From what can learn the free text book
law is working very satisfactory in this town.
A number of parents whose children were
kept away from school for the want of books,
are availing themselves of the good features
of this law. 1t is certainly gratifying to
note any improvement in our educational
system, But there is an element, and an
important one too, that is lacking in our
town schools. 1t is the want of proper inter.
est manifested by parents in their children's
educational progress, They are seldom found
in the school room, and l am informed by
several teachers that it is a rare thing to have
parents inquire of the latter as to the progress
of their otlsprings This is certainly an
injustice to the child They should be en-
couraged by the presence of their parents in
the school room sometimes Men appear to be
more concerned about the training of young
horse than they are of the minds of their
children, About the former they will inquire
daily of the trainer. This is all wrong, and
should awaken the erring ones to sense of
their duty.
How nice it is to own your own home no
matter how small or how modest 1t cheers
and encourages you to renewed effort every
day. 1t makes you feel more like a man,
makes you better citizen and gives one
stimulus that nothing else can, while it adds
materially to the value of town property. /
know number of men, who to-day are
prominent in financial affairs and own con-
property in town, started out by !
borrowing money with which to build their |
own home Visit a city or town where the
majority own their own homes, and then go |
into another composed of class who cannot
or will not buy permanent houses, and note |
the difference. Invariably you will find in
the first instance neat homes that vary in |
design, with plenty Of evidence all around
that show plainly that the people who live
there have an interest beside the rent paid. |

have to run in debt for il, it pays you in the
