OUR ESTEEMED contemporary, the
Pittston Gazette, wisely observes, in
relation to the pending question of
paving reform in that borough, that
following the taxpayers wishes in
the matter will be great help to the
councilman who is undecided as to
which is the better paveW 1t would
also, we suspect, be great help to the
taxpayers, but if the wishes Of the lat
ter were followed too literally it might
depopulate the council room altogeth-
er. And that would sacrifice much
gayety and sport.

HELEN

She Sits within the wide oak hall.
Hung with the trophies of the chase
Helen, stately maid and tall,
Dark haired and pale of face;
With dropping lids and eyes that brood.
Sunk in the depths OF some strange
mood,
She gazes in the fireplace, where
The oozing pine logs snap and flare.
Waiting the perfume of their native
wood
The wind is whining in the garth,
The leaves are at their deIyish rounds.
The dexile flames upon the hearth
Hang out their tongues like painting
hounds
The fire, | deem, she holds in thrall;
Its red lights fawnS as she let's fall
Escalloped pine cones, dried and brown
From loose, white hands, till up and
down
The colored shadows dye the dusky
wall
The tawny lamp fame tugs it's wick;
Upon the landing Of the stair
The ancient clock is heard to tick
In shadows dark IS Heleu's hair;
And by gentle accolade
A squire 10 languid silence made
l lean upon my palms, with eyes
Der which a rack Of fancy flies,
While dreams like gorgeous sunsets
flame and fade,
And rs / muse on Helen's face,
Within the firelights rudy shine,
Its beauty takes an olden grace
Like hers whose fairness was divine;
The dying embers leap. and 10!
Troy wayers vaguely all aglow,
And in the north wind leashcd without,
hear the conquering Argiyes' shout;
And Helen feeds the flames as long
ago!

Better take a hot whisky, it'll set you
up on your pins. There is nothing SO

settler, and it's no wonder you are
depressed. Lemons are frightfully
lowering, aren't they, boysY
The boys assented to this query and
proved very promptly that they were
not going to run any risk OF having
their spirits or temperature lowered
by contact with any wishywashy
drinks, and the order for another
round was at once given to the smiling

terprises.
Tom ana his friend, Jack BchrcnS,

good fortune brought the representa-
tives of various industries under one

then a good time with lot of particu-

ed. On this occasion however, Jack
was not his usual light-hearted self.
1t had been noticeable from the time
he had joined his friends, and rs the
evening wore on ne grew more rather
than less constrained.
