WHY not Close the schools7

We believe it would be the proper
thing for the school board of this
borough to close the schools for several
weeks until the epidemic of measles
among the children of the town is some-
what abated. AS it is the schools are
going on with comparatively small
attendance and the disease is continually
being spread. And then, again, large
number Of scholars are losing schooling
that they are justly entitled to have
the privilege of. The West Reynolds
vile school has been closed on account
of an epidemic OF measles in that
borough.

Too Much Rowdyism.

It is well known fact that there is
and has been too much boisterous play
by the young boys on the streets in the
evenings and nights and too much
hoodlumism by an older element. 1t
is high time such work was. stopped.
A step was taken in that direction Mon
day evening when number OF promi-
nent citizens met at Esq. Hays office

a committee to draw up resolutions and
requests to present to the town council,

Is II FAIR?

In looking oyer the columns OF the
paper lately, we found the advertise
ments for various suppers, entertain
ments, ETC., to amount to $2.65 In one
Issue. This is the same as money paid
out of our pocket. No merchant could
get the number of lines for any less
amount. The newspapers are publish
ed by their owners to make money, the
same as other business is carried on by
the merchant, speculator or banker.
This amount every week for year
would amount to Sl37.SO. While the
publisher OF newspaper does all this
for the various worthy and social objects,
and willingly too, sometimes we wonder
how 1t is reciprocated Many instances
are seen almost weekly. When these
parties helped by newspaper men will
ingly take what patronage they have
and bestow 1t on others who could not
help them any. II the newspapers are
not necessary to the success of the
various affairs for which their columns
are solicited, why use them? II they
are needed and used, why not show at
least the appreciation OF spending money
with them when you must spend it?
We suppose the question is hard to
answer, is one past finding out, some
day the newspaper men will sell their
space and get their money for it,

They were not all Cana people, by any
means. The bridal feast was spread
in the large front room opening upon
the porch, and all who had "A right to
enter were welcomed heartily Food
was plentifully provided, but the 1ner-
riest hour of each day would be after
sunset, when, the days work being
done, all the invited guests would
come. The bridegroom was continual
ly present, to receive congratulations
and good wishes. With him We're sew
eral young men of his more intimate
friends; but decidedly the most i1npor-
tant figure in that room was Isaac,
himself. AS master of the house and
as ruler of the feast, he sat at the
head of the long table provided for
the occasion. His dress was as simple
as ever, but it seemed to have under
gone change, he wore it with so grand
an air. He appeared to be happy. and
he received great respect from the
throng of people who came to congrat-
ulate him upon the marriage of his SON.
So the marriage feast went on until the
midday was past and the shadows be-
gan to lengthen in the streets of Cana

stln an open Question.


In discussing neNT words and the
fact that even yell-educated persons are
always coming upon doubtful terms,
there is stor.5 of Col. Colt, of revolver
fame, who refused TO be daunted even
by a word which did not exist. The
colonel was sitting on the veranda of Il
Saratoga hotel narrating some of his
experiences in Turkey when he went
there to place contract. AS he talked,
o pompous person, ii judge from some
remote interior region, walked by the
group, occasionally stopping for a mo
ment and then passing on Suddenly ha
paused, with the serious purpose of
speaking. and asked in solemn, slow
and measured tones: Does the sultan
CT Turkey, sir, abatiate himself in his
intercourse with distinguished foreign
ers?" As quickly SIS if ''abatiate" "swere
as familiar to him as the word ''re-
volver, Col. Colt replied: 81 cannot say
of nay personal knowledge. He may
have that reputation Then as the
judge, apparently satisfied, passed on
out of earshot. the colonel turned to
the group and asked: What in time
did he mean?" Everybody laughed, but
nobody knew--Out]ook.

Every time come to the United

tonishment in the marvellous energy of
the Yankee nation It seems to me that
the people work on this side for the
sake of work, they appear to regard it
not as means to an end, but the end
itself. This universal rush and hurry
nnpresses itself very forcibly on Eu-
ropeans. Some years ago was visit
ing a friend in Russia, which is a very
quiet country indeed. and, the conyersa-
ton turning on London, some one re-
marked upon the unceasing, activity
and press in the British capital, and how
the people hurried along the street dur
ing the busy hours of the day. An old
Russian thereupon, with a grave shake
OF his head, observed that he had been in
London once, and that nearly all it's cit
liens were mad. l wonder what this
old gentleman would have thought if he
had ever made pilgrimage to Chicago?
Now, it is questionable in my mind
whether this traffic pace is a healthy
thing for people. Isn't it the pace
that kills? Why not leave something
for succeeding generations to do? Your
rich men, instead of settling on big
country estates and helping to improve
the rural districts, seem to all cluster in
the cities. and to continue adding to
their fortunes. The maniafor work, for
active endeavor, seems never to leave
them, and their children inherit the
same tendencies s.''--Washington Post
