SMOKER.

The smoker given by Viola Council,
Jr. Order United American Mechanics
Of Monday evening in Odd Fellows
Hall, proved to be a success, there being
present over a hundred members and
invited guests. The evening was spent
in a social smoke, singing and recita-
lions rendered by home talent and the
usual good music by the PENIS Grove
band. Mr.. Harry Pyle was the star of
the evening, giving several of his ex-
cellent songs which were well appreci-
ated by the audience. The manner in
which Pyle and Hill sang some of their
comic songs kept the audience in a on
tinual laugh. N. D., Leap was no.
least with his usual songs and speech
which we also appreciated. There was
several recitations which was well
rendered, The limitations of different
street fakirs and comic sayings were well
up to the times by s. Townsend, our
PENIS Grove "Dr. Bliss" The even
ing social was closed by the serving OF
refreshments.

When news is scarce and hard to get.
And the town Is dull and quiet,
The newspaper man is sad, you bet,
And wishes for a riot.
Or q ere would do-better If two,
And a prize fight would come handy,
Or some spicy scandal to lightly handle,
A murder would be just dandy.
A sudden feeling Of vague unrest
Over his soul comes stealing,
And the night birds note is accompani-
ment best,
To the gloom that the heart is feeling.
Then, oh, for a row, and he dosen't
care how,
A stabbing or gouging quite fright'n-
ing,
A loaded gun fool, niger kicked by a
mule,
Or hayseed struck dead by lightning.
IT'S thus with US ever. we each have
our grief,
Each heart has its own sad story,
And the editorS when the news notes
are brief, N
And there is notl Sc new, lively and

Or a railroad accident fearful,
A hanging in full, boy gored by a bull,
Or anything CHASTITY or tearful.-Er

STAMPS.

Some time ago Miss Edna Brown, a
a cripple, of Kanesville, H., hearing
that some hospital would treat her if
she gave it a million cancelled postage
stamps, wrote TO three persons, request
ing that each sent ten stamps, and also
write to three persons, making a sim
iliar request to each, their c~orrespon-
dents to send the stamps and write let
lers, and SO on until the liftieth link TO
the chain should be forged. The plan
was carried out, and the result has as
tonish Miss Brown. When her letters
first began to arrive they were only a
few, but they increased gradually in
number until it fairly rained letters,
The chain is not yet half complete, hut
Miss Browns mail now consists of from
5000 to 10000 letters q day. She pass.
ed the 5000, 900 mark long ago, and
tbere seem no possible way of stopping
the avalanche. And the worst OF it Is
that, although thousands of dollars
have been expended in postage out of
sympathy for her, yet it all does no good
whatever, as no medical institution can
be found that wants a million stamps.
The only n who is making anything
out of the great scheme is Uncle Sam
whose income has been increased SOD
to $500 a day.-M. Y. World.
Some of Penn's Groves citizens have
been in the combination and wasted a
lot of stamps. If those who sent can.
celled stamps had sent a &c. stamp each,
the cost of their letter, Miss Brown
would have gotten rich.

tional conference of colored men to
meet at Detroit, Mich, on December II
