and sticking her head through the hole
resisted to the utmost of her strength
all efforts OF the attendants to pull her

taking TO remove her unhurt from
the situation as the ragged projections
of the sharp glass we're all about her

Future Prospects OF House Builders.

The season for house building may
be said to now have practically closed.
A few scattering buildings are in
course of construction in Lancaster
and vicinity, and on Monday a large
barn was started TO be built on the
farm of james Addison in Little Grant
but the season for general building
may be said to be at an end.
With a hope that dieth never. the
eve of the carpenter is turned toward
the new season which will open in the
spring. On interrogating different
contractors in Lancaster, the Herald
reporter encounters a prospect in the
building line that is truly pleasing.
Every indication now promises a
building boom to open in 1899 that
will nearly equal that of 1923 before
it subsidies.
At the shop of Johnny Clark, work
men have already begun to turn out
the smaller parts of large house to
be erected for Rufus Hannum in the
early spring Some new buildings
are to be erected on the old Mansion
house block that will be mentioned
more explicitly when the proper time
arrives. Taking as an indication the
propositions that are now being fig
ured on in the different shops, and
the promises to build that we have
from individual property owners here
abouts, there are bright days ahead
for the carpenters. When the seas
on's work assumes more tangible
form the facts and figures viii be
found in these columns.

But when he saw the wild havoc
And learned the strange tale OF the child,
His sternness of manner all vanished,
And his eye grew unwontedly mild.

that judges were not partisans, but,

verites.-Reno Gazette.
The Gazette is liable to mislead the
people of the State by the above item.

sition and is no: included with the

Belknap, who is candidate for re.
election. If Judges Massey and Bon
nifield were candidates for reelection
there would be some excuse for their
partisan .conduct. But as they are
not, the only excuse they can have
for dragging the dignity of the Su-
preme Court into the political mire is
the desperate condition Of the party
that placed the III on the bench. This
excuse will avail them but little when
they again come before the people
OF the State asking for their stuff
