at the glimpse of the glories and

that of Miss Rhoda, 1t is a more deep

for her; Miss Rhoda was always a

MISS RH0DA'S MEASURE.

Miss Rhoda sat in the west doorway.
Her face was turned toward the sweet
sky. radiant with its rays of red and
golden light; it was natures with
drawing season." At Miss Rhoda's
right was field OF stubble from which
the wheat had been harvested. At her
left the corn still stood, like Indian
wigwams. all over the field. waiting for
the huski1g time. At her feet the ma
pie leaves, so gorgeous in their autumn
nal plaids, were falling. Here and
there the note of stray bird which
had tarried late. than its fellows fell
upon her ear. There was chill in the
air; the wind was rising. and it stirred
the locks Of silyery hair which usually
lay with such calm precision about
Bliss Rhoda's face. She folded her black
shawl closer about her shoulders, but
still she fingered.
There was no kindly voice to warn
her of the dangers that might come
from longer exposure. No loved form
to come to the door and say. Come in.
now; the air Is chill and the fire is
burning brightly. It is. lonely in the
room without you" Miss Rhoda was
alone in the world: she had outliyed
those nearest and dearest to her.
In the afterglow of the lives of those
who had belonged to her in the old
home sweet memories lighted up the
closing day. and as she looked intently
at the western sky she seemed to see

has always been in some good work.
and has hal a kind word for every
body"
Aunt Martha did not like the spirit
of criticism which her nephew had
shown OF late about reeonciling state
ments of the Holy Scripture. She spoke
up in a quick way and said. Miss
Rhoda hasn't gone to the town-house
yet"
NO: but the finger on the signboard
points that way" replied Arthur.
1T is dreadful for old people to be
obliged to give up their home and old
associations and go where they would
not, said Mrs Bates. Young folks
can bear changes-many really en-
Joy them-but 1t is different with the
aged
Aunt Martha had not married-her
acquaintance called her "a maiden
lady" II was not because she never
had opportunities to marry. she told
her nephews and nieces. but because
she loved them too well to break her
home ties with them. II had long ago
been settled that the Bates family
could not do without Aunt Martha, and
Aunt Martha could not get along with
out them. How dreadful It must be, :"
was her thought that night. TO have
no loYelight in ones life"
Then Miss Martha sat down and
/ wrote a letter 10 her brother John.
who lived in the city. She told him
Of Miss Rhoda; what a patient, faithful
life hers had been, and now, just as
nearing the end of the journey. she
must be forced to give up her home
and go to the town-house. Then she
added, John, you and must pay OF
that mortgage. and give Miss Rhoda
| the home for her life. We are able:
| let US be willing to do ii. What a
joyous Christmas we shall have II we
do this, Miss Rhoda must have the
measure meted out to her that she has
melted out to others"
The result was that Brother JOIN
who was quite apt to act on sister
Martha's suggestions, Joined her In tbs
labor Of love for her neighbor. When
Miss Martha vent over to see Mis-
Rhoda, short time before the fore
closure Of the mortgage. she found hel
looking over her things-she could moi
carry many with her; for the room
was small she expected to occupy. Buf
there was this little memento and thai
gift with sweet memories associates

Inspires to Better Life.

The entertainment, 1.-THE Story Of
Christ in Picture and Song" given at
the Presbyterian church last Friday
evening by Prof. and Mrs. J. ]. Lowe,
of Philadelphia, under the auspices of
the Christian Endeavor Society, was a
delightful entertainment, one that
should have been greeted by packed
house. 1t was rare treat to those who
attended. The pictures, which were
faithful reproductions OF the most
famous paintings by the worlds great
artists, were thrown upon screen by
the aid OF powerful lime light stere-
optican, and were very clear and bright.
Prof. and Mrs. Lowe are certainly sweet
singers. The whole entertainment not
only entertains but also tends to inspire
the audience to higher and nobler
life.

All these exercises promise to be very
interesting and will certainly be largely
attended by the citizens OF Reynolds
Vile, who are more interested in our
schools this year than they have ever
been before, for which great credit is
due our efficient and worthy principal,
Prof. George w. Lenkerd, who has
worked hard during the present term,
assisted by an able corps OF teachers, to
bring our schools up to higher stand
ard. This is the first year we have had
good school building into which the
pupils Of Reynoldsville could assemble,
and the term was the beginning Of a new
era in our schools. II is the first year
the high school system has ever been
introduced into our public schools.
When the school board elected Prof
Lenkerd last year he Immediately
mapped out "a nine year course Of studies,
which was indorsed by the State and
County Superintendent. Soon after
our schools opened last fall the school
board were convinced, and so were
many of our citizens, that the board
had made no mistake in eecting Prof.
Lenkerd principal Of the schools, as he
proved himself to be energetic and a
hard worker. IL may be possible that
the Prof has not been able to please all
people, but who could ? Not even an
angel direct from the heavenly land
could do that. He has proven himself
so capable to fill the position that there
is no doubt but that the school board
will retain him in the same position for
another year at least. 1t is not good
thing for Rcynoldsville or any other
place, with school as large as ours, tC
be changing principals every year, but
as We stated before, we don't think the
board has any intention OF making 9
change in the principalship of oui
schools il Prof. Lenkerd makes appli
cation for the position.
