COMBINATION OF LUMBER DEALERS.
Details ola Plan of Cooperation Is
Being Figured Out.

George d. Brown, who has been in
terested in the lumber business in this
city for several years, is engaged in
figuring out the details of a combina-
tiOn of the various firms engaged in
the lumber business hereabouts.
1t is believed that much better prices
could be obtained from wholesale deal
ers on account of the large amount
that would be ordered at once. Much
money could also be saved in distribut-
ing the lumber to local purchasers.

To sit in the Office of City Clerk La
Velle during the sessions of the board
Of revision and appeals, an impartial
observer" would be inclined to think
that there are only a feW dogs in
Scranton. Fully two thirds of the peO-
pie who appear before the board to
seek redress for alleged excessive or
unjust assessment complain that they
have been charged with owning q dog.
although they don't own one and neVcr
intend to own one, never did own one,
and wouldn't have one around the
house for love or money. In fact, they
hate dogs.
Councilman John +. Regan, of the
Sixth ward is authority for the follow
ing tale of a dog; A citizen of Bel De
Vue left home one day to go before the
board of appeals to have his dog tax
revoked, and he never noticed that his
dog hal followed him until he was
about to enter the city clerks office.
This did not disconcert him in the
least; he turned around and kicked
the dog away, went in, and said lie
never owned one.

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Spirited Account of Some Veterans
Celebrating the Election of
T1cKinIey

WINIMAc, Ind, October I6.-Par-
son Hedges, Deacon Hathaway,
Judge Burson and Colonel Mckinley,
of Winimac, are all good Republicans.
In evidence Of his having followed the
course Of the party Of protection, the
colonel is shy one leg, lost in action
during the war. These veterans, all
grandfathers, decided on the election
of Mckinley that they must celebrate,
regardless Of the injured feelings Of
their opponents. To think was to
act. So it pefell that out of the tama-
rack swamps procession came in the
following order:
Blind Dobbin pulling a hickory
pole I78 feet long, the parson carrying
an American flag, the deacon with an
ak and spade, the judge acting as
steering committee, and the colonel
hobbling along pushing wheelbar-
row laden with commissary stores.
The steering committee chose site
for the celebration, and the four cele-
brants performed the duties assigned
to them. They all partook of the
good things. Then the judge and the
colonel delivered red hot speeches and
the Others cheered. Then it was de-
cided to decorate the pole with the
national tri color This duty was as
signed to Deacon Hathaway, duty
which he regarded with some suspi-
cion when he remembered his $50
pounds of solid flesh.
Paints and brushes were borrowed,
blocks and tackle were fastened to the
pole and rugged over stakes that
Dobbins might hoist away. The end
of the pole was thrust in the hole dug
for it, and then things happened.
Dobbin smelled the passing aroma Of
growing corn. He started forward
without the word Of command. The
deacon was tied to the other end of
the rope. Dobbin's movement caused
the Deacon to sail aloft at an alarming
speed. The pole bent double, the
rope broke and the deacon shot
through the air like catapult.
He described a beautiful curve,
struck sandhill, burrowed in and
through with such velocity that he
heated the silicious natter a cherry
white heat, made a four foot tunnel
lined with plated glass, and filled his
paint bucket with frozen spring water.
Dobbin was mile away.

Paul Before King Agrippa. Acts
20: 1892.
Golden Text hosoever there
fore shall confess me before men, him
will / confess also before my Father
which is in Heaven" Matt 70; 81.
After Festus had succeeded Felix as
Governor OF the Province the Jews
again laid wait to kill Paul, but Fes-
tus commanded that he should be
kept at Cesarea and went there to
Judge him. Then Paul appealed to
Caesar. And when King Agrippa
came unto Cesarea 30 salute Festus,
he was told Of Paul who preached
zone Jesus, which was dead, whom
Paul affirmed to be alive, and Ag-
rippa asked to hear him. And on the
morrow Paul said 81 think myself
happy, King Agrippa' to ''stand for
the hope of the promise made OF God
unto our fathers +. "for which
hopes sake / am accused. " "Why
should it be thing incredible with
you that God should raise the dead1 "
Then Paul rehearses his conversion
when he saw Jesus after his resurrec-
ton, and breaches Jesus as the only
life and light and hope OF men--and
when Festus accused him OF being
mad he said boldly to King Agrippa
in proof of fulfilled prophecy, "be-
lievest thou the prophets? ] know
that thou believest." Then the
King was almost persuaded, as very
many others have been to accept the
Christ; but he postponed the matter
as far as we know until too late, con-
tent with fruitless effort to release
Paul-like Pilates cowardly and
fruitless effort to release the grander
prisoner, the Christ, the King Of
Kings.
But Paul is now with Christ, and
Felix doubtless with PLATE, and
great gulf fixed between which cannot
be passed. for the wages Of sin is
DEATH but the gift OF God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord. !"
We live in a country of which the
principal scourge is stomach trouble.
1t is more widespread than any
other disease, and, very nearly, more
dangerous.
One thing that makes it SO dan
gerous is that it is SO little under
stood.
If it were better understood, it
would be more feared, more easily
cured, less universal than it is now.
So, those who wish to be cured,
take Shaker Digestive Cordial, be-
cause it goes to the root OF the trouble
as no other medicine does. The pure,
harmless, curative herbs and plants,
of which it is composed, are what
render it so certain and, at the same
time, SO gentle cure.
1t helps and strengthens the stom-
ach, purifes and tones up the system.

You, with the dark and weary eyes,
Weary Of love and sacrifice,
Come with me over the waters pale
In my small gray boat with the slender
sail.
Into the twilight we shall steal,
And the little gray waves along our keel
Shall sing you a slumber song OF the sea-
Where sleep endureth unendingly.
The gray Sea Spirits in tender wise
Shall lay cool hands upon your eyes;
In their eyes of mist you shall fall asleep
And sea dreams into your soul shall creep
And none shall know-but on the shore
The old gray willows bent and boar,
Shall SILVER and sigh to themselves next
day,
Leaning out over the sea Away.
