cally valueless to any civilized power,
as the territory affords no field for the
employment of capital.

WHEN TWILIGHT BRINGS YOU NEAR

When the sunset lights are fading In
the west.
And stars begin 70 gleam across the
sky.
The tender twilight brings me peace
and rest.
While, dear, to lou my hearts best
longings fly.
The miles that lie between us seem az
naught;
Your form comes gliding softly to
my chair.
fraught,
Your fingers wander idly o'er my
hair:
Your loving touch benediction seems
That calls my nobler, truer self to
life:
I long to realize my manhood's better
dreams
And be worthier actor in the strife.
With purifying love your dark eyes
shine,
The last light fingers on your dusky
hair,
And then you gently draw your hand
from mine:
glance to where you knelt-you are
not there.
And so at twillght-time my thoughts
OF you
Bridge over all the miles that inter-
vene,
And bring you to me ever good and
true,
With none to sever, naught to come
between.

Mr.. Hartman thinks that II the cleo
tion was this year, instead of next, there
would be no doubt of the tickets being
headed by Bryan and Mckinley again,
and expects that they will be anyway.
Speaking of next years Democratic
platform, he said: 1.-The three most
prominent features in the platform, in
my judgment, will be, first, its declara-
tion on the money question, which will
include a re-afiirmation of the Chicago
platform, a declaration for independent
bimetallisn, against the retirement Of
the green backs, against interest-bear-
ing bonds, and against transferring to
the banks the right to issue or control
the issue OF paper money; second, a
strong declaration against trusts and
third, anti-imperialism."

The members Of the United Mine

into effect on Friday their threat to
refuse to work with persons not mem
bers of the order. 1t is thought, how
ever, that the issue will be raised later,
unless the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre
officials cease discriminating against
those who belong to the union. If all
that the men claim is true, they have a
real grievance.

Nearly everybody you meet will re-
gard it as kind Of insult to be asked
il they have weak lungs. All seem to
have a solid faith in the soundness OF
their own breathing machine In cases
OF trouble they will admit there is Il
heavy cold" "a touch OF bronchitis"
or even "a spell OF asthma" but as to
weak or unsound lungs. never, NEVER.
Even the poor consumptive, who scarce
ly speaks without coughing, whose
cheeks arc wasted, hollow and bear the
hectic flush of doom, will assure you
with glistening eyes that his cold is on
the mend and he will be all right when
the weather changes.
1t is simply terrible to think how far
we may be guilty by our indifference to
the lung troubles OF those near and dear
to Us. 1t is also sad thought that we
may hug delusion as to our own health
that we only get rid of when life itself
must pay the forfeit
Nobody can afford to think lightly
Of lung troubles. Nobody can afford to
be mistaken about their possible dan
gers. Nobody can afford to neglect
them, or let them wear out" or get
better in the spring" or any other tom
foolery that leads only to wreck and
ruin. Lung troubles don't move back
ward. Weak lungs don't grow strong
by thcmselves-you must heal them
and strengthen them. and rid them Of
the very earliest germs OF disease, or
you are simply committing form Of
suicide. Either you must cure your

PROSPECTS,


Strawberry picking in this section be-
gan practically on Monday last. On
Monday few crates were brought in
for shipment, and yesterday quite a
fair volume of fruit went North by
boat and rail. With favorable weather
there will be heavy picking during the
coming week. Prospects indicate that
there will be n large strawberry crop
here this season.
The cabbage crop will probably be
light. but the prospects are that there
VIII be large crop of potatoes. The
new crop of Southern potatoes is now
bringing $500 to $500 per barrel, but
this price will speedily decline as soon
as the North Carolina and Virginia
crop is out on the market
The last of the spinach and kale crop
was practically all shipped ten days
ago. These crops were light this sea-
son on account of the very severe
weather In tho carly part of the year.
1t is believed that there will be good
crops this year and that prices will be
quite satisfactory on the whole
