Among condiments alcohol must be
reckoned. 1t is a pluralist condiment,
however, and-it goes without saying-is
a dangerous condiment in more senses
than one. A good deal that has been said

In respect of alcoholics, the result of their

A Story of the Rail.

A rural humorist in Screven county tells
this exciting story:
1--WE were coming at fearful rate of
speed down the hill this side of Waters
station when suddenly, as we rounded
the curve, and just where the hands had
been working that day, the engineer and
fireman discoveredSa tie lying crosswise
upon the track.
1T was only about 90 feet away, and as
we were making 60 miles an hour there
was of course no possible chance to avoid
running over it. 1 was looking out of the
window at the time and saw the danger
just as the engineer and fireman saw it.
In another second we were on to 1t, and
we all three shut our eyes and listened for
the awful crash.
but much to our surprise the engine
glided smoothly over, the coach followed
In similar manner, and we rolled safely
into the depot"
why, how in the world did it hap
penn" shouted all his listeners in breath.
''Oh, simple enough. You see, the tie
that was lying across the track was only a
necktie that ono of the young girls had
dropped that ernoonl"-Atlanta Con-

the majority of which have had their day.

thousands of them to meet the eager de-
mand of his readers, but nobody asks for
them now and, worse still, nobody will

Here tho books of the once idoliZed au-

should be reserved for them a resurrection

Napoleon and Whist

The great Napoleon was not great at the
whist table, and characteristic story Is
told of him at St. Helena At "a private
party of whist he took out four napoleons
to use us markers, and one of tho young
ladies' took up one of the coins and asked
him what it was The polite hero snatched
it rather roughly from her, and pointing
to the impression exclaimed, "C'est moi. "
The annoyance caused by this incident
rut1led him so much that he made mis-
deal The party begged him to try again,
and he did so with the same result His

Meantime the unhappy Count Las Casas,

Louis Philippe showed equal regard for

a louis on the carpet while playing whist

Must Shoot to Kill.

In the regulations governing the Massa-
chusetts militia overhead fire is expressly
forbidden, the section reading, ITO guard
against danger to Innocent persons at
distance the troops will be instructed not
to fire over the mob or in the air, as such
a proceeding would in effect favor the most
daring and guilty and might sacrifice the
less daring and even the innocent.
The paragraph also tells how the men
should aim. If mob is close to the
troups, the latter, to avoid the effect of
the rising Of the shot at short distances,
should aim not higher than the center Of
the body. If very close, aim at the feet OF
tho crowd"
1t Is also interesting to know that our
militia are prohibited from using blank
cartridges, the regulations reading, lex
perience having shown the evil results OF
firing with blank cartridge in the first in
stance to suppress riot, such firing ispro-
hibited'' The paragraph says further,

POSSESSION.

| 1t was our wedding day
A month ago, dear heart, hear you say.
If months, or years, or ages since have passed
L know not, have ceased to question time;
only know that once there pealed chime
Of joyous bells, and then held you fast,
And all stood back, and none my right denied,
And forth we walked, the world was free and
wide
Before us. Since that day
| count my life: the past is washed away.
1t was no dream, that VOW;
1t was Il voice that woke me from dream
i happy dream, think but am waking now
And drink the splendor of Il sun supreme
That turns the mist of former tears to gold.
Within these arms hold
The tieeting promise, chased so long in vain.
AL,weary bird, thou canst not fly again,
Thy wings are clipped, thou canst no more de-
part.
Tiny nest is builded in my heart.
/ was the crescent thou
The silver phantom OF the perfect sphere
Held in its bosom in one glory now
Our lives united shine. and many year,
Not the sweet morn of bridal only-we
One lustre even at the full shall be;
One pure and rounded light, one planet whole;
One life developed, one completed soul;
For in thee, and thou in me,
Unite our cloven halves of destiny.
God knew His chosen time
He babe me slowly ripen to my prime.
And from my boughs withheld the promised
fruit
Till storm and sun gave vigor TO the root.
Secure, o, love. secure
Thy blessing is; have thee day and night,
Thou art my blood, my life, my light,
Gods mercy thou and therefore shall endure.

An Opportunity Worth dra.pinx.

Scranton with all its wealth and pro-
gressiveness needs something more
than material advancement to place
her in the full rank of her sister cities.
She has devoted much money. It Is
true. to educational purposes and to-
day her rank as leader in education for
younger citizens cannot be disputed.
There is, however. another grade of ed
ucation that as yet we have not paid
sufficient attention to. and that is the
higher education which is to be gained
In technical and professional schools.
Scranton as the center. the pivotal city
Of oneof ths most popu.ous and wealthy
sections of Pennsylvania, as the most
progressive and advancing city OF the
state. could well support one or more
of these schools.
Could we, by sufficient inducements,
secure the removal to Scranton OF an
already established and at present
highly successful School of Law,it would
seem to be an opportunity we'll worth
examining into a school of the highest
rank. with scores Of pupils. is looking
to secure location where more fire.
Quent sessions of court are held than in
its present situation and where it may
secure even larger success than 1t at
present enjoys. There should be, and
we feel sure there will be. strong and
united effort by our citizens to secure
for Scranton this school rather than
allow some other place of less note and
with notably fewer advantages to in
duce it by specious argument to settle
there.
This Is matter that requires prompt
action. Today's meeting of the Lack

slider the proposition of the directors of
Dickinson college for the removal of
the law department to this city, should
