Old Times at oonewago, Penna
From the oonewago collections.

FIOm tic NoACh1bC CS@-~~sA-N'
The stones for the old church at Cone
wago,-1787.- and the stone steps and
improvements in 1928, were quarried along
the Conewago Creek at East Berlin.
Father Pellentz offered prize of fine
silk handkerchief, something rare and valu-
able at that time, to the man who should
get the first load of stones to Conewago, a
number of teams to start on Monday
morning. Michael Slagle, non-Cathollc
neighbor,. started his team off at midnight,
and on returning with load in the morn
ing, met the empty teams coming down
the Abbottstown road. The grandfather
of the late Wm Hafer, Of Abbottstown,
also Protestant, had the contract for the
mason work. No lime was then used in
the mortar, bat kind of clay mixture
that looks as if it had fine hay or grass
chopped up in it, making it hard and last
ing. When Adam Caster and Thos. Nc
Claim tore out the back wall of the old
church for the addition in 1901, they
had to use crowbars and picks and with
the greatest difficulty removed the stones.
In the days of its erection, workmen hac
plenty of whiskey, and it was customary
to wall up the empty bottles; a number
were found imbedded One old-fashioned
bottle was nearly full, well corked; the
workmen took it in to Fr. Enders, who
said they should drink it, and it was Sc
strong that drink was enough to make
them feel it's effects.

1t is true that there is great deal Of
levity INDUCED in when speaking about
book and paper farmers, but what is the
LAWYER until he builds practical knowledge
on the foundation which he receives in the
law schools? The physician is only
theoretical when he begins practice, but he
has a scientific foundation upon which to
build his future life and prospects. Should
not the farmer have the same foundation ?
Where can it be better acquired than
there? Here is man who never attended
an agricultural college, yet he is practical
farmer but it has required 40 or 80 years
of his life to attain the knowledge he pos
sesses, and every other farmer is pursuing
the same course, each independent of the
other. 1t was waste of energy, waste
Of time. and If those men, knowing what
they do today, could have started out early
In life with all that knowledge, and had
that foundation to start with, they would
have succeeded better.

The dead years dirge so bitterly,
One long, low wall from frozen seas.
How mournest thou, as here SIT
Living again the halcyon days,
In fancy, as my spirit strays
Back to the time her presence lit
Ye fill my soul with sharpest PAIN

When joys have faded, like the leaves

Ali is it life to idly drift
Adown the tide, helpless. inert?

Though Winters storms may chill and blight
Like violets meath Springs warm sunlight

THE DEAR OLD SONGS.
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY o. C. sHIPLEY.
The dear old songs again we sing
The songs our hearts remember;
A host of memories round them cling,
That cheer our life's December.
They bring us scenes of other years
And cleaning Christmas molly;
Their lightest note the spirit cheers,
Dispensing melancholy.
Ay. grand old songs! their lightest strain
Seems fraught with joy and gladness;
The years are bridged-we're young again,
Remembering nought of sadness
Now while the Yule-log brightly burns
Were gloom and sadness folly,
While memory backward fondly turns,
Beneath the Christmas holly.

Il Il Not Likely That France WIN Re

ItWonId work Dasasirously.
NEW YORK. Aug. pa dispatch to
the Herald from Paris says; There
seems no reason to believe that the inn
port duty on wheat win be taken on,
even temporarily There seems but one
oplnlon-namely sthat to abolish the
duty would meteiy enrich the specula-
tors, derange the equilibrium OF the
budget, work serious harm to the
French cultvator and bring not an iota
of relief to the consumer, An Official ut
the ministry OF agriculture said: In
years OF plenty the duty has not been
able 10 make cultivation profitable This
yeer there Is sure to be big deficit In
the crops The growers viii, therefore,
be able to derive some benefit from the
duty. This they can do without bread
being forced up TO famine prices as the
party clamorlng for the abolition of the
duty allege, Therefore II Is my person.
al opinion that IL Is not the most re-
mote possibility OF the government re-
moving or ever reducing the import tax
on grain"
The Temps publishes the following in
terView, unofficial. It Is true, bun never
theless obtained from some one at the
ministry of agriculture, where some
idea Of the Views Of NJ MelIRe Is sure
TO be had: THE wheat crops during
the last fewIyears were abundant. The
market was overcrowded. Prices were
low and quotations went down 10 TWEEN
ty francs per quintal, and 'even to eigh-
teen francs, but the land was fertile
and the cultlvWtors managed to get
some little profit from the Plentiful har-
vests. This year conditions have been
unfayorable. The crops have been bad
everywhere In France and Europe gen.
orally. The variations OF temperature,
the heavy rains, halls and floods have
simply devastated the fields, America
has escaped these calaE8itops conditions
and by herself can furnish the markets
of the old world: Wheat, as n result OF
Its being scarce. has gone up. II this Is
unfortunate for the consumer. the agri-
oulturist Will be able to recover some
recompeuse for his labor.
"Then again the comment made In
certain quarters Is exaggerated. The
prices such as have been current dur
ing the past week have often been OBJ
talned previously without the country
starving, but serious damage would be
done II the duties were removed even
for a short period. This is why NJ, Wig
or has persuaded the general council OF
the Loret to vote desire that no modi-
ficatlon shall be made In the Import
duties on foreign grain"
The municipal council voted a resolu-
ton to petition the minister of nGrlcul-
ture 60 remove the duty on flour should
It prove inexpedient to abolish the duty
wheat. VI. Captain who is recognized
authority ON all matters connected with
the grain trade. said. however, that he
did not think that NJ. Meilne would ac-'
cede to the desire of the council. The
municipal council voted a resolution ur-
glng the minister OF agriculture to use
his prerogative and to reduce at once
from seven to Ave francs the import
duty on wheat.
