HE WAITED.

In the room below the young man sat,
With an anxious face and a white craVat,
With a throbbing heart and silken hat,
And various other things like that,
Which he had accumulated.
And the maid of his heart was up above,
Surrounded by hat and gown and glove
And some thousand things that women
love
But no man knows the names thereof,
And the young man sat and waited
You will scarce believe the things tell,
But the truth thereof know full well,
Though how may not be stated.
But / swear to you the maiden took
A sort of half breed, thin stove hook
And heated 1t we'll in the gaslight there
And thrust 1t into her head of hair!
Then she took n something Off the bed
And hooked II onto her hair, or head;
Then she piled 1t high and piled it higher
And drove 1t home with staples of wire.
And the. young man anXiously-
waited.
Then she took thing she called puff,
And some very peculiar, whitish stuff.
And, about half peck,
She spread 1t over her face and neck.
Deceit was a thing she hated)
She looked as fair as the purest flower,
or pound of lard or a sack of flour,
And the young man wearily-
waited.
Then she took garment of awful shape,
And it wasn't waist, nor yet cape,
But II seemed like piece of ancient mail,
or an instrument from Russian Jail;
And then with a fearful groan and gasp
She squeezed herself in its deathly clasp,
And then with move like don't know
what,
She tied 1t on with double knot.
And the young man woefully-
waited.
Then she put on dozen different things,
A mixture of buttons and hooks and
Till strongly resembled a notion store;
Then taking some seventeen pins or more,
She thrust. them into her ruby lips,
Then stuck them around from neck to
hips,
And never once hesitated
And the maiden didn't know perhaps
That the man below had had seven maps,
And that now he sleepily-waited.
And then she tried to put on her hat,
All me! trying ordeal was that.
She tipped 1t high and she tried 1t low,
But every way that the thing would go
Only made her more agitated.
1t wouldn't go straight and it caught in
her hair,
And she wished she could hire man to
swear,
But alas, the only man lingering there
Was the man who wildly-waited.
And then, before she could take her leave,
She had to pump up her monstrous sleeve;
Then little dab here and wee pat there,
And a touch or two to her hlndmost hair;
Then around he room with her utmost
care
She thoughtfully circulated.
Then she seized her gloves and a chamois
skin,
Some breath perfume and long stick-pin,
A bonbon box and cloak and some
Eau de cologne and chewing gum,
Her opera glass and a sealskin mum,
A fan and heap of other stun;
Then she hurried down, but ere she spoke,
Something about the maiden broke.
So she scurried back to the winding stair,
And the young man lookedin wild despair
And then he-evaporated.

on the left side of the old plank road,
as we pass from Blakely to Peckvllle, a
small but beautiful church edifce is
rapidly being completed, 1t is the
Calender Memorial church, and stands
on a plot of ground sacred to the mem
ory of the Baptist denomination of
Blakely This peace of ground was
given for sacred use by the grandfather
of S. N. Calender, of Blakely In the
year 1882 the Blakely Baptist church
erected house of worship there. Here
they worshiped for many years, but as
the people built their homes below the
shaft of the Lackawanna Coal COM
pany, the members decided to come
nearer the center of population. SO
twenty years ago, the present editice or
the Blakely Baptist church was erected
and the old building given over to the
bats and mice. Last year one of the
Callenderfamily moved the old building
from its site, and the question came,
What would be done with the plot of
ground given by the grandfather of the
present generation for church purposes? ?
s. N. Calender settled the question by
resolving to erect house Of worship
there, to commemorate the family
name. This new church Is a 3OX44-foot
frame building. A tower is built on the
left corner, through which the main en-
trance passes. 1t cost over $1,000, and
will ready in few weeks. The dedica-
tion services will take place about the
middle Of November, and 1t will not be
necessary to go outside this well
known family to secure corps of able
clergymen to conduct the services.
There are at present six reverend gen.
tlemen in the family, viz: Nathan
Calender Of Montdale; Newell Callen-
der, of Clark's Green; Levi Silvins, D..
J. Williams, ], B. Kenyon and W. j.
Guest. The church will be at the SER
vice of the growing population around
the shaft Of the Ontario and Western
Coal company.

WANT SMALLER CALDER,
Terribly Destructive Effect OF the New
Rifles Now in Use.
ErOm the philadnlIhin pronn

Terribly Destructive Effect of the New
Rifles Now in Use.
From the Philadelphia Press.
When the war department decided to
apandon the old heavy caliber Spring
leld rlfe and arm the troops with the
rag-Jorgensen small caliber repeat-
ing rifle, it was predicted by the ad-
herents Of the old arm that the new
weapon would disappoint its friends In
Its lack of destructive power. 1t would
they admitted, have a greater range
but the small steel bolt proiectile, it was
asserted, would bore a clean hole
through mans body that would NOT
be as fatal as the large wound inflicted
by the big lead Springfield bullet. Now.
all this prediction has been disapproved
by experiments made by the medical
staff of the German army and repeat.
ed by our bureau of military informa-
ton.
The terribly destructive effects Of the
new weapon appear strikingly set oui
in this report. 1t is said that the wounds
inflicted by the small bore bullet, not
withstanding its diminutive size, are
highly destructive, owing to it's enor.
nous speed of rotation which causes
the tissues struck to be torn within G.
radius Of four inches.
There are many veterans carrying
Springfield bullets in their bodies, bui
of the new rifle, the report says: "UE
to $50 yards, a bullet striking the necl
or abdomen means death. From $50 to
1,600 yards almost mile) most serious
and in many cases fatal results are GER
tain to be inflicted. Beyond 1000 yards
the injuries caused resemble those in
flicted by the round bullets which Were
In use before 1860"
Our army officers felt that they ha6
progressed to the line of safe practice
when they adopted the caIiber of 7.6z
rifle, in 1892, and they were disposed to
criticise the navy department when II
went beyond them and still further re.
duced the caliber of their rifles to milli
metres, or 1886 inches, only trifle larger
than 22-caliber pocket pistol, But now
in the last report, they concede that the
tendency of the best authorities seems
to be toward a still smaller caliber
some professional men, even asserting
that the caliber should never be larger
than 6.5 millimetres.
One result Of the reduction of calibel
of the greatest value for military pur
poses is shown by the new navy rife
which will shoot point blank, up to 72
yards. This means that at any distanc
within two-fifths Of mile the men can
shoot accurately without any allowanc
for the dropping of the bullet and ar
thus relieved from the necessity OF al
iusting their sights for each range In
cluded.
