Bearing a load beyond your strength to

Straining each nerve untiringly, and still
stumbling and losing foothold here and
there,
Ana each one passing by would do so much
AS CIV one upward lift and so their way,
would not the slightest reiterated touch
or help and kindness tighten all the day?
If you were breasting a keen wind, which
And butfeted and chilled you as you

I'LL, bafled and bewildered quite, you lost
Inc power to see the way, and aim and

And one, If only for a moments space,
Gave You shelter from the bitter blast.
Would you not find it easier to face
The storm again when the brief rest was
past?
There is no little and there is no much;
we weigh and measure and define in vain.
A look, u word. a light responsive touch
Can be the ministers of JOY to pain.
A man can die of hunger, walled in gold,
A crumb may quicken hope to stronge

And every day we give or we withhold
Some little thing which tells for life or

ECLIPSE.
STALLION.

Eclipse is a brown horse. standing
153 hand high, weight 1l75 pounds.
He is very smooth built, has heavy
aud we'll formed bone and is very fine
about head and neck; his feet
aud legs are of the best. He has
superior style and action and his dis
position could not be improved. In
short he is u perfect driving horse
and in spite of the overloaded cou-
dition of the horsemarket for the
past few years this type of horse has
always been sought for and have
commanded paying prices. Eclipse
is bred from the best sons of the
Great Almont 33, being sired by
Athlete 715, dam Lady Mac by Antar
Jr. 5567, 2nd dam by Morgan Rather
and Bird dam by Plow Boy $50.
Eclipse has never made a cover that
did not produce u foal but as he had
never had a season in the stud he has
a very limited number of foals but
what he has would be a credit to any
sire.
His first colt, Cthe only one he had
at that time) was shown at the How
ard Co., Fair in 1894 and won first
premium in her class.
Eclipse won first premium as q
yearling at the Howard Co. Fair in
1892, and with his full brother then
about twenty days old, helped their
dam (Lady Mace to win the first
premium offered for brood mares in
the same year.
Eclipse will be kept at the farm of
Ira Richardson, three and one-half

Illegal Fishing.

In years gone by the Susquehanna
has been more famous, perhaps, for
the many and open methods of un-
lawful fishing than for the good fish
ing which it supplies. Last season
the angling fraternity worked early
and late attempting to prevent the
pirates from depicting what ought to
be one Of the greatest angling streams
in the east. The fish wardens did
what they thought was good work,
the members of the Pennsylvania
Fish Protective Association were at
it early and late, and all over the
state private individuals took it upon
themselves to keep an eye open for
violators of The tlsh laws Of the state.
AS consequence it was thought the
beginning of the end was reached and
that in the course of time the pretty
Susquehanna would be clear of TIE
many devices employed to catch fish.
Now, however, these fish pirates have
broken out again. These seine fisher.
men sweep their seines in the eddies,
where the fish are spawning at this
time Of year, and capture them by the
hundreds. OF course the spawn is
destroyed, so that it is only a matter
of time when there will be no fish to
catch unless the state appropriation i;
used to propagate more, and when
these are dumped into the Susque-
hanna along comes the pirate with his
seine again, and he scoops out the
fish by the wholesale.
