friendship; she trusted me, honored
her. And then the excursions we took
together! We each loved nature, the
flowers, birds, brooks, everything out
doors. How often have spent an hour
casting in the creek while Grace wove
garlands of pretty flowers and ferns, or
expressed compassion for the fish which
gasped for life amid the damp moss
which lined the basket All! but we
were such good friends and so careless
ly happy in those days.
But why do remember these things
now? Is ii possible Grace is concerned
in this? Do know of a more womanly
woman? Do l know of another who un-
derstands me so well, or who is in every
way so worthy? For the life of me
cannot think of another for whom
have so high regard. | dreamed the
other night that Grace was dead that

FOLLOWING THE BAND.

Life was a joy when was boy,
10 the days of long ago.
When eye and ear could see and hear
The things it was good to know.
But the kind old earth, once glad with
mirth
And pleasure high and grand,
Seems stale and tame since l became
Too big to follow the band.
Yet dare say earth holds to-day
About as much or more
OF JOY and cheer, right now and here,
Than ever 1t held before.
But by our pride we're now denied
Gods gifts on every hand;
We've grown too proud to follow the
crowd
Too big to follow the band.
ia like to stray in careless way
Through the broad green fields Of pouth,
And wander back along life's track
To the blissful springs of truth.
Id like to trade my woes, self-made,
And the cares that come to men
FOR the keen delight of boys glad right
TO follow the band again.

FREELAND, PA, MARCH 7, 1898.

Every friend OF William NJ Singerly,
editor OF the Philadelphia Record, regrets
that death called him from his field so
soon after the financial crash in which
he played a prominent part BY many
he was severely denounced when it was
learned that his banking affairs had
been so loosely conducted as to jeopar-
die the savings Of hundreds OF Phila-
delphia people. Perhaps his careless
ness in this business, which was not to
his liking and into which he was in
weighed by scheming politicians, de-
served some OF the rebuke and criticism
which his failure occasoned, but his
real self was shown when he offered to
the depositors of his banks his entire
property, including the Record, to satisfy
the claims against him. He reserved
nothing for himself, and had even pre-
pared to continue working as editor un-
til every dollar was refunded to the de-
positors. This was no more than any
honest man should do; but in doing this
instead of taking advantage of the
thousand loop-holes by which he could
escape his debts, Singerly proved his
honesty. To all who ever had an OPP
portunity to study the man at close
range his action was no surprise. That
he was not spared to redeem his good
name makes his death more painful to
his friends.

some way OF giving property on the Hill

During times like these, when the
demand for relief upon the poor author
tiles is so great that many deserving
cases must be passed by or given but
little help, would it not be proper for
the directors of the district to reduce
their salaries to something nearer the
amount allowed by law? The 5000 a
year taken by the three guardians is a
sum which would help many worthy
families to fight off starvation until the
skies brighten. Since the directors
have begun retrenchments in other and
less needful directions, they should take
from the poor treasury for themselves
no more than the authorized salary.

BAND CONCERT s.

70 Z = ,.t. s III + y ! y 81
The Entertainment Was Good and Fairly
Well Patronized
Last Friday evening occurred the
first concert Of the Knights Of sPythias
band and Jesmer's opera house con-
tanned a fair audience to enjoy it. The.
band numbers were an overture. a
march and a baritone solo with full
band accompaniment. Each was well
received, an encore following each
number. In the last mentioned number
Mr.. Schneider acquitted himself with
credit, the; solo being quite difficult.
Assisting the band the new orchestra
proved itself to be very promising
organization, and it's selections were
well received. Among the other selec-
lions were vocal selections by Mrs. Fl.
G. Cooney with orchestral accompani-
.ment, piano solos and duets by Miss
and Mrs. Peterson and cornet and
violin solos by Mr.. Anderson, the
director, land each number received the,
encore it deserved. Miss Ross acted as
accompanies and her work added much
to the success of the different numbers.
Another who greatly assisted the boys
in their concert was w. E. Wilberg, of
Anoka, whose work on the clarinet was
excellent and added greatly to the
effect of the band and orchestra.
The band showed a surprising pro-
fciency considering the age OF the
organization and received many COM
pliments upon its work by those present.
Prof Anderson has labored hard since
his arrival TO instruct the members
and the boys have worked hard them
selves to profit by his instruction. Mr..
Anderson has rare talent, as was
shown in his cornet and violin solos,
and besides this talent has the happy
faculty of making plain to his pupils
the intricacies> of music. If the band
receives the financial assistance which
it deserves Princeton will have ere
long an organization second to none of
the smaller towns in the State.
