Margaret could have the first reading
of the news. Usually she took it
day old.
Someway the good things of life had
always come a day late to Miss Marga-
ret, or else not at all. Perhaps that
was the reason why her face, which
had been handsome once and full of
promise, had such sharp lines about
the mouth. 1t was thin, angular
face, and the scant, straight hair
above it, which used to be so black,
was streaSed with gray
At the other side of the small round
table sat Miss Margarets sister Har-
riet, placidly knitting. If her face
bore fewer traces of appointment
than Margaret's, it was not because she
haps it was because she had expected
less Harriet Staples had been called
a very plain girl; but now hers was
pleasant face to look upon. round and
peaceful, the touch of rose color in the
checks contrasting prettily with the
snowy wilderness of her soft, heavy
hair. The eyes We're pleasant and
friendly; at the corners of the mouth
were the little wrinkles that come
from smiles, and, altogether, the face
was very lovable.
Suddenly the paper dropped from
Miss Margaret's hands and she looked
up at Harriet, her pale face almost

Even Miss Harriets calm face
showed signs of agitation, and her
hand shook as she reached for the
paper.
There were only two lines of it.
Robert Barton had been found dead
that morning, in the little room which
was the only home he had known for
forty years.
The paper had lost all attractions
for Miss Margaret, and Harriet's stock
ing fell to the floor unheeded. The
room was very stiil-only the little
old clock ticking in the corner. and
the purring of the great gray eat on
his cushion.
Outside, in the street, people were
passing to and fro. Sometimes their
voices were loud and penetrating, but
the sisters did not hear them They
were back in the long ago, when hand
some Bob Barton used to spend an
evening, now and then, in this same
sitting-room, which in all these years
had never quite lost the glory of his
presence.
BY and by two tears forced them
selves from llarriet's eyes. She wiped
them away hastily, and glanced fur,
lively at her sister. Margaret had not
seen the tears, and her face wore such
softened look that Harriet ventured
to speak.

nush-and-MiIk Surprise,

A score of young FOLKS made up two
straw loads on last Monday night and
met at Mr.. c. Conner's where they were
provided with transportation and after
packing themselves in, together with a
bag of meal and can of molasses, set out
to surprise Miss Lizzie R. Stephens at her
home near Rising Sun. Arriving at their
destination they took possession of the
house, put the pot to boil and soon had a
large kettle of mush under way which
when supplemented with the molasses
taffy which was undergoing construction
at the same time, and sweet milk, butter
milk and sweet cakes, offered toothsome
Fepast. The self-invited guests then
spread cover upon the floor and all fell
to with lusty vigor. Fun reigned supreme
throughout the evening aud when the
lateness of the houg admoaished The
gathering to disperse they very reluctant
ly clambered back into the wagons and
set out for home wishing the nights were
twice as long and their capacity for mush
thrice as large.

The total number of voters in
Cecil county after the September
and October registration this year
is 6,976, divided as follows: White,
6,006; colored, go. This is a net
gain over last year as follows:
White, 10Y; colored, 20. The gain
is considered a big one, and most
of the increase has occurred in the
democratic districts. The total
number last year was 6,S4O.
Those who profess to know say
there are great many names on
the list which ought to be taken off,
but the registers cannot secure
positive information and rather
than risk depriving a voter of his
rights, leave them on.

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home and so admirably adapted
to the purposes for which it is intended,
as Chamberlain's Pain Balm Hardly a
week passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache or
headache may be cured by it. A touch
of rheumatism or neuralgia quieted. The
severe pain of a burn or sca1d promptly
relieved and the sore healed in much less
time when medicine has to be sent for.
A sprain may be promptly treated before
Inflammation sets in, which insures cure
in about one-third of the time otherwise
required. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate treatment before the
parts become swollen, which can only be
done when Pain Balm is kept at hand
A sore throat may be cured before it be-
comes serious. A troublesome corn may
be cured and several days of valuable time
saved or pain in the side or chest re-
lieved without doctor bill. Procure
so cent bottle at once and you will never
regret it. For sale by E. T. Reynolds.

Colora is on its Ear.

That spunky little village has
been using hired house for its
public school, and petitioned the
School Board to furnish a school
house which they could claim as
all their own. The Board scratched
it's wise head and considered.
Monroe school has waned while
Colora has waxed. The School
Board after meditating duly, de-
termined to abandon Monroe and
build a school house on the Wallace
road at its junction with the road
which passes near Aaron j. Mich
ener's place, which is "short
mile" from Colora. Colora is dis
gusted with this economic freak of
the School Board, and can see no
justice or economy either in locat-
ing a school a mile from the "center
of population" to accommodate a
remnant of the Monroe school, caus-
ing twenty or more of their children
to walk mile through mud and
snow in the inclement seasons in
order to save a mere remnant of
Monroe from half mile. The
Coloraites offer to compromise by
furnishing handsome lot at the
top of the hill on the Wallace road
ON the land of Mr.. John w. Nc
Cullough. This seems fair, so the
Coloraites think, and the little town
with the foreign cognomen is in a
state of mind about it. So to speak
there is blood on Colora's moon,
and in her eye. Better not tread
too hard on Colora's corns. Colora
children are pretty children and
good children and their mothers
love them as the Spartan mothers
and the mother of the Gracchi loved
their sons" And the school house
ought to be at the top of the hill
where the children could hear their
dinner bell and not away off ON the
site of Vulcan's old stone forge.
Colora ought to call a public meet
ing and pass resolutions. And
she'll do it if provoked beyond en-
durance. COlOra knows her rights
and dares maintain them, Bully
for COlOra!

Why Try It Again?

Mr.. EDITOR My objections to
License based upon results observed
during it's trial in Cecil county are
those of a great many other oppo-
nents of license. They are briefly
these: License is first of all, not
worth what it costs. Second, it
puts a premium on perjury since
the average saloon frequenter
scorns to countenance or tell the
truth before a court and jury.
Third, it affords opportunities for
currying favor with the whiskey
power. Fourth, in most cases it
makes trial by jury mere travesty
upon justice. Fifth, it begets con-
tempt for law by reason of its I'M
punished infractions. Sixth, it
makes tipplers, topers and as COM
pared with prohibition "manufac-
lures" a crop of youthful drunk
ards. Seventh, it puts the traffic
in the hands of irresponsible people
and simply makes business for the
courts at the expense of taxpayers.
Finally, it has been thoroughly
tested and utterly discredited.
Why continue it?

The Lawyers Harvest.

The good people of Galena, Kent
county, were surprised OH Friday, 5th
inst, to see five noted lawyers in town at
one time; four from Chestertown arrived
about II O'Clock a. III, and proceeded to
measure distance about the cellar in
which Mrs. Canaan fell sometime ago and
sued Mr.. Peacock for $4,000 damages.
1t was soon learned that these lawyers
were employed by Mr.. Peacosk. In the
midst of their work, to the surprise of
everyone, up drove Albert Constable, Esq,
of Elkton, Mrs. Cannan's lawyer. After
a friendly greeting from the Kent lawyers
and others, Mr.. c., says, gentlemen you
are having it all your own way nO7o. 4"

THE SECRET or DELAY.

The secret conclavc Of Democrats who are
trying IN comtempuouS defiance Of their OBJ
LEGATIONS as members Of conference committee
10 settle the tariff question without allowing
any voice whatever TO the Republican members,
appear to be proceeding exactly IN was predicted
some time ago The "any bill' Democrats have
full control All the kicking does not alter in
the least the fact that few monopolists have
the party by the throat. and are able and de-
termincd TO kill the tariff bill In the Senate
unless II suits their wishes. The desperation OF
the Democrats who think that the party must
pass tariff bill or die. and who presumably
dare not face their constituents without having
passed something which they can call great
reduction Of taxes, gives dictatorial power to
the few who are perfectly ready to defeat any
bin that does not please them
II Is curious to notice how careful Democrats
are to ignore the one great fact which Hes be-
hind all the delay and the wrangling over this
bill The root Of the whole matter * that con-
sttucnts OF certain Democratic Senators have
no desire for any change of tariff. would III
fnitely prefer &c have the present tariff undis-
turbcd. and rejoice when Senator's, for any
reason whatever take Il position which theat-
ems TO defeat the passage of any bill this year.
The Senator's in question are perfectly aware
Of this feeling. They know that in Ohio the
majority Of $4,000 for Mckinley was notice to
Mr.. Brice that II would be extremely fortunate
