'Tis hard to tell from out the rest.
In which device love her best.
I long to kiss her saucy lips,
When Ger her braids a sailor tips.
And when a Gainsboro' crowns her hair,
She calls to mind a portrait rare.
At tennis in her Tam o'Shanter
She charms me with her witty banter.
And meath her party hood of lace,

But when she does her curls entrap
Within the scholars Oxford cap
The power of her mind feel.
And at her feet humbly kneel.

permitted to have good time granted to them
without the asking by the Town Commissioners,
some had to break the rules, and violate the law,
by firing pieces before "a. m. within the borough,
by firing pieces larger than allowed within the

Goldbuggers Frightened.

New York, July 6.-Nothing has
been printed here in the way of in
dividual statement which has
caused more anxiety than the
opinion of ex-Congressman Cable,
of Illinois, that unless there be a
change of feeling before election
day Illinois will cast so, 900 majority
for a free silver platform candidate.
Ma Cables statement is received
with due consideration because he
is known to be familiar with the
State of Illinois, both as a business
man and politician, and because
his own convictions, which are
strongly in favor Of the gold stand
ard, would be likly, it is thought,
to cause him to make as favorable
an assertion as possible.-"Hol-

An Elkton Parsons Protest.

Rev. John McElmoyle, pastor OF
the Elkton Presbyterian Church,
surprised his congregation on Sun
day last by severely criticising the
action of the republican convention
at st. Louis in calling on a rabbi to
open the convention with prayer
He'also termed Governor Lowndes
Ethe so-called reform Governor"
and condemned him in the strongest
terms for pardoning the men con
victed in Cecil county for violating
the local option law. Two ont OF
three men sentenced to the House
of Correction for selling liquor were
pardoned by Governor Lowndes,
Notwithstanding there was much
opposition to the pardoning Of one
of the men.
We are glad that Cecil county
has one preacher who is not afraid
of the republican party, and has
the courage to denounce its Roths-
child and saloon policy.

ODD MIXTURE OF RACES.

Germans and Irish Frequently Form Mar
itaI Alliances in the New World.
Many people have been surprised to
learn that there ore in Baltimore Ger
Notwithstanding is, persons de-
scendant from German parents in Ire
land. Such Irishmen Of German origin,
are, however, also to be found else
where; thus, for instance, Bishop
Thomas Bonacum, Of Omaha, is an
Irishman of German descent. To illus
trate the reason for this the follow
ing facts may be of service: In the year
100 q great number Of Palatines were
induced to emigrate, partly on account
of the French war, but more so on ac-
count Of the glowing accounts from the
first German emigrants from Pennsyl-
vania. They came in great numbers to
Rotterdam, depending for assistance on
England, whence already in 1908 great
number of Palatines had been trans
ported to New York.
They came, however, in too greet
numbers, and there were no vessels to
convey them from Rotterdam to Lon
don. For some time they were cared
for In the former city, but when this
proved too great O burden. England had
them transported to London, where
they were housed and properly cared
for.
But ON the LIST of June the number
had grown to 10000. in consequence of
which England caused a publication to
be made in Holland on June "a, 100,
that no new emigrants should be
thenceforth received. Nevertheless, I'M
til October, 100, some 1000 more
crossed over.
The expense Of supporting these Ger
mans ct Greenwich camp, near London,
was betrayed by large collections
through o committee. TO which the
highest persons In the realm belonged.
Queen Anne gave $500 daily. But even
for wealthy England this burden soon
became too great, therefore efforts were
made to send these people to America,
and many of them went to Schoharie, in
New York.
Many Of them died, but there still
remained largo number, SO that $500
Palatines were sent to Ireland, where
they settled In the county Of limerick,
making splendid progress as skillful
farmers and mechanics, such as linen
weavers.-Utica Observer.

A TRAVELLING NEWSPAPER.
"En Route" Is Published wherever 1ta
Editors Happen to he.

1 "En Route" Is Published wherever Ita
Editors Happen to BE.
Two Partisan journalists have estab-
ished the most original newspaper in
the world, q paper without an editorial
home or any precise time or day Of pub
LEGATION, and which is being issued in
various parts of the earth.
This unique sheet is called "En
Route" and is edited and published
wherever its enterprising editors hap
pen to be. They are touring the world
on the American globe-trotter's plan of
SO many minutes to each famous sight.
En- Route is an eight-page paper, and
is illustrated. In spite of all obstacles
in each city IN which it's editors stop,
they manage to get out the paper and
make money on it, all within an incred-
| IDLY few days. A complete issue is
published in several languages.
The strangest part of it all is that
| while the two men started out with the
idea Of having this travelling newspaper
pay only q portion of their expenses,
| they never anticipated more than that
En- Route is, from its very novelty, sell
ing like "hot Cakes" and making it's
proprietors rich in q small way. So
far, though but half dozen numbers
OF 80 have been issued. the profits of En-
Route have already paid all the travel
ing expenses, and comfortable little
balance remains.
The two journalists, having arrived
in city. one sits down in his hotel and
begins to write industriously, describ-
ing picturesquely the last stages of
their journey and his impressions Of
the place they had just arrived
at. The other goes to find printers,
white paper ands illustrators. Then
the two sally forth together to study
the city. They have already posted
themselves on the curiositieS and his
tory. Between the intervals of sight
seeing there ore some hours and half
hours of writing, and before one would
think it possible that the city could
have been explored and written about,
the last touches are complete, and this
number of En- Route is on the press.
The last heard Of En- Route and its
editors was that they were in Bombay,
having just published the Bombay
edition IN three languages-English,
French and Guzerati. They were about
starting for some other land. What
land Is not known, for the movements
of En- Routes editors are secret nnd
never told of ahead.
Perhaps about the most interesting
thing about the paper is that it also has
the distinction of being the only publi-
cation on earth that can calmly ignore
the laws Of libel. The editors can fear
lessly say what they please in its col
umns, for they know that they will be
able to get out of the country before
trouble comes. The first Issue of the
paper was published six or eight
months ago on the departure Of the ed
itors from Paris. 1t Is their intention
to travel around the world.-N. Y. jour

About Minks.

The Oxford Press is credited
with the following mink story:
AS T. F. Grier of Oxford was
driving in East Nottingham the
other day he noticed a large mink
by the roadside. During the past
few months three minks have been
killed at Robert Timanus', East
Nottingham, while after his fowls.
His wife dispatched one of them
with an axe in the hen house.
On Monday as Mrs. Timanus was
engaged at the house she heard a
noise among the chickens. Going
to the feeding pen she saw a large
mink with a hen in its mouth.
She seized a pitchfork and got the
fowl from the mink when the latter
showed signs of fight. Mrs.
Timanus called to her husband in
the field who ran to the house and
getting his gun shot the mink. 1t
measured 2 feet 4 inches from tip
to tip. The pelt was worthless as
this is the shedding season.
Well, that was the tamest mink
we ever heard of. Why didn't the
woman kill it with the pitchfOrki
Penn Shade, the 'Leatherstock-
ings" of Rising Sun ought to hunt

RATS
The same paper tells the follow
ing rat story.
William Cam of Oxford went tC
his old home in the neighborhood
of Kembleville last week on business
He found the citizens of the com
munity somewhat excited over the
presence of a large number of rats
which are destroying property and
terrorizing some of the people
Farmers are killing the rodents
wholesale, a party having stiffened
| 10 at one time.
Our reporter ventured to say
that probably the atmosphere about
Kembleville was extra hot that day
and multiplied object rapidly. "No
a bit of it," replied Mr.. Cam, wh(
had the floor. ga Kemblevill,
butcher says rats are so thick OF
his premises they drive his pigs
from the trough. Norris anC
George Good have killed at least
5OO of the pesky things. A
fathers the rats attacked corn
crib containing about 100 bushels
and cleaned it up, leaving a few
cobs. While | was there saw rat
running around as big as kittens.
Mr.. Cam is of the opinion there il
something wrong with some of thu
people or they would have beer
spared such a visitation.

story they will declare it is cased b.
