Sweet Cupid sat on messy bank
With a tear in his round blue eve,
His wings were draggled with silver dew,
And his quiver and bow flung by
The butterflies came from the garden near
And perched on his dimpled toes,
And honeybee slipped at his crimson lip
And thought 1t an opening rose.
Not an arrow went to its mark to-day,
l wasted them ALL" he sighed.
"My wings and my curls too well they
know,
So the men and the maidens hide.
My mother must clip my pnions close
And must braid my locks of gold,
And I'll borrow frock of damsel falr
My roseate limbs to fold"
So now no more in the flowery field
Or the wood where the thrushes sing
Do we hear the patter of naked feet
Or the sweep of an airy wing.
He has stolen the gown of pretty girl,
And her hat with its dropping plume
And cluster of velvety violets blue
From his breast to shed perfume.
He has donned her veil with its broidered
edge,
And her gloves of the palest gray,
And hides his bow in her fluffy fan
Before he goes out to slay.
He has clipped his wings and braided his
curls,
But beware of his roguish eyes,
For sly little Cupid is still the same
In spite of his new disguise.

The harp-strings may be fair
The hand that woos the sweet guitar
And makes the music there
May be a slender one and soft,
And beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts is
The little hand for me!
The hand that is ablaze with gems
May be the hand for you:
For some one else the hand that sweeps
The ivory keys may do:
The hand that goes with millions oft

Proud of the CaDitaI.

The people of the country are fond
OF their capital. More than the Wash
ingtonians themselves, they have seen
the wonderful progress of Washington,
for by visits at tintervas-some of them
extending over years-they have met
with some contrasts which tell the story
to the spectator more thoroughly than
constant living in the city could do.
In different parts of the country, says
an eastern exchange, we have heard
scople discuss the growth of Washing
ton with pride and relate the compar-
isons of the various visits. The man
who was there ten or twenty years ago
and who goes again this year, takes a
tale back home which he never tires OF
telling. And not only will Washington
have no rival in the sense of competi-
ton, but it is destined to be beautiful
beyond any other city or any other cap
ital in the world What has been done
is simply an earnest of what is to come.
1t will be the capital of society, as well
as of politics. Art and education will
follow, and already it is fact that
more learned and authoritative men cal
be gathered in an audience in that city
than anywhere else in the country.

FREELAND, PA, NOVEMBER -, 1897


From the Wilkcsbarrc Ncwsdealer.
1t is crying shame, as well as dis
grace to the state. that the moneys
allotted the various school districts have
in many instances only been half turned
over. The injustice of this is flagrant.
In many districts they are really crippled
for lack of funds and unless prompt aid
is had the school term will have to be
shortened or closed. There is big
balance to the credit of the state treas
urer in the banks Of the commonwealth,
or an apparent balance, aud if it really
exists there is no valid reason why the
obligations of the state to the school
districts should not be satisfied.
But if the state treasury is bankrupt,
and without funds to discharge the debt
due to education and progress, that is a
very good reason for turning the rascals
in control out and filling their places
with men Of Il different stamp,
The Quay machine control grows
more odous and oppressive to the
people, but the revolution that will
change this condition of affairs is max
ing swift progress.
The Swallow vote is only an indica-
ton and finger guide to what is coming.

The Higher Courts viii Change This.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A charge often made by the profess
Sional labor agitators that upon issues
between the workingmen and corpora
tions, the courts always side with the
corporations, has been disproyed many
times, and a new illustration to the con
trary has just been furnished by a Chi
cago court in which Il railway conductor,
blacklsted by the Northwestern Railway
Company for participating in the Pull
man strike, has been awarded damages
to the amount of S?l, 1868
In facts brought out in the course of
the trial, which were to the effect that
the plaintiff was always discharged with
gut cause or explanation shortly after
obtaining new job, convinced the jury
that he had been blacblistcd by the
Northwestern Company and that he was
being persiStently bounded out of any
means of earning a living for himself
and family.
If this verdict is sustained by the court
of last resort, to which it is certain to be
appealed, the blacklisting of men who
engage in strikes will 90 the way Of the

They sat beside babbling brook
That tumbled through a vale,
And in his eyes there was look
That told a simple tale.
She watched the limpid waters flow
And with the lilies play,
She saw the bubbles come and go,
Well knowing what he wished TO say.
The moments sped! He dared not spe ak.
And she sat silent there
a sunbeam sported upon her cheek,
Breezes sported with her hair.
At last, without warning word.
She slid into the stream,
And folks a mile off might have heard
The splashing maiden scream.
And did the brave young lover stay
To lay his shoes aside?
All, no! He plunged in right away
And claimed her from the tide.
They barely got their ankles wet.
But why upbraid the maid?
His love might be unspoken yet
But for the little game she played.

She threw me kiss and the air felt sweet
A rose tint glowed through the gloom of the
street,
AS Dorothy leaned from her window seat
And threw me kiss.
She threw me kiss with her finger tips;
As springtime scent from a flower dips
From the roseleaf dawn of her willing lips.
She threw me kiss.
Yes, threw me a kiss. and the world seemed
bright,
The cares of life were all back in the night,
For Dorothy said to my heart: BE light"
And threw me kiss.
She threw me kiss, and strode away
Smilingly humming a roundelay gay.
All, Dorothies, smile on your swains some
day
And throw them kiss.
Yes. throw them a kiss. and the whole day

Their hearts will be steel to dream of
wrong;
Their blood will pulse to one joyous song:

In these enlightened days it is rather
queer to hear of anyone being skinned
alive as a punishment for Il crime, but
that is the penalty that is staring
Chicago boy in the face. Paul Czyet,
a 14-year-old boy of the Windy city,
became involved in quarrel with An
ton Kwitke, another lad about his own
age, and threw a pailful of boiling
water on him. Kwitke's skin dropped
off in large patches, and the only way in
which to cure him, according to the
doctors, is the operation of skin graft
ing. The justice before whom Czyet
was taken learning this, gave the boy
the alternative of allowing the doc
tors to take enough skin off his body
to cover the scalded portions of his vic
tim, or being held to the grand jury on
charge of assault. He gave the boy
few days in which to decide.

A Scheme That Failed.

A nice young man resolved the other
day to present his beloved girl with
a nice pair of shoes. He accordingly
procured her measure and purchased q
$3.50 pair. In order to make the pres
ent appear more valuable, he marked
six dollars upon the so!es of the shoes,
and, at his request, the shopman, who
was a friend of his, put receipted bill
for six dollars into one of them. The
presentation was made and the lovers
were happy, us lovers should be. But
mark the sequel: The girl examined
the shoes in the daylight, and was not
satisfied. She was convinced that her
lover had been cheated in the purchase
of such a pair of shoes at that price.
She decided to go and change the shoes
and obtain better bargain. The next
day she appeared in the shop and select
ed a better pair of shoes, price four
dollars, and politely requested the clerk
to take back the shoes for which she
said her husband had paid six dollars.
The receipted bill was produced in
proof, and the boot man found it i'm
possible to go "behind the returns"
The smart girl took her four dollar
shoes and obtained two dollars in
money and went home happy and sat
isfied. The BOOKSELLER sent n bill for
four dollars to the young man, who
promptly paid the difference, but he
thinks that girl little too smart for
him
