The LEADER announces the very
serious illness of Mr.. F. F. Becker, the
popular and enterprising cashier of
the Commercial Bank. He has been
a great sufferer since last Wednesday
from what is called gall stone," and
his condition had become so critical by
by yesterday that his family physician,
Dr. johnson, thought best to carry
him to New Orleans on the afternoon
train for consultation and possibly
surgical operation by specialists of
that city. He was accompanied by his
wife and Mr.. J. W. McGrath, his
brother-in law, and everything was
done to make the trip as easy on the
sick man as possible. The loss of
F. F. Becker would be public calam-
ity to Brookhaven and THE LEADER, in
common with our entire community,
which SO highly appreciates his worth,
hopes he will find speedy relief from
suffering and soon be restored to fam
lily and friends in perfect health.

NEWS FROM IRELAND
Some Time.

Some Time.
Some time, when all liie's lessons have
been learned,
And sun and stars forevermore have
set,
The things which our weak judgment
here has spurned-
The things DER which we grieved with
lashes wet
Will flash before us out OF life's dark
night, ...
AS stars shine most in deeper tints OF
blue;
And we shall sec how all Gods plans
were right 4 -a
And how what seemed reproof was
love most true.
And we shall see, that, while we frown
and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and
me;
How, when we called, He needed not
our cry,
Because His wisdom 10 the end could
y And, cen as prudent parents disallow
Too much OF sweet to craving baby
hood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us
Lies sweetest things because it SEEM
eth good.
And If. some time, commingled with
life's wine,
We find the wormwood, and rebel and
shrink,
Be sure wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion ior our lips to
drink;
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his
face,
Oh! do not blame the loving Father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedient
grace.
And you shall shortly know that length
ened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His
friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail OF
death
Conceals the fairest boon His love can
send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life,
And stand within, and all Gods work.
ing see,
We could interpret all this doubt and
strife,
And for each mystery could find a
key.
But not today. Then be content poor
heart:
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white,
" unfold
j We must not tear the close-shut leaves
apart;
Time will reveal the alyxes OF gold.
And if through patient toll we reach the
land
Where tired feet with sandals loose,
may rest,
When we shall clearly know and under
stand,
l think that we shall say that God
knew best Anon.

Will Enforce Vaccination in Township.

AT the monthly meeting Of the Wins
low township school board, held at
Franks Tavern Saturday, an edict was
issued that the compulsory vaccination
law must be enforced in all the town
ship schools.
The board instructed the supply com
mittee to buy large maps for all the
schools in the township. The maps
we're selected Saturday.
Some Of the other business transacted
by the board was To raise the salaries
Of several good teachers to the same
amount as paid to other teachers In the
township. This was the proper thing
10 do. THE STAR has always advocated
an increase, instead Of reduction, In
the salary Of competent school teachers.
The only way to secure good teachers
is to pay good salaries. II is poor econ
omy to get cheap, incompetent teachers.

Thought Il was a Bear.

Albert Reynolds, the tallest man In
Reynoldsville, was out hunting one day
last week and all he got was a "little
fright" Alb. was born In this place
when the town consisted Of one or two
log houses, the surrounding country
was vast wilderness and big game was
plenty. When old enough he should
cred II gun and went hunting, and has
been doing more or less hunting-in late
years less-evor since, and considers
himself somewhat ofa hunter. His ex-
cuse for not getting game last week was
that the leaves were so dry that In
walking around he frightened the game
before he could get close enough to
shoot. Alb, says he was sitting on log
waiting for n squirrel TO come near
enough for him tO shoot IL, when he
heard something walking behind him
that made so much noise he was sure IL
must be big bear. lie jumped up and
whirled around expecting to see black
bear but was greatly relieved TO see a
little red squirrel walking on the leaves.
Alb. was so delighted because he did
not have to battle with bear. that no
would not even shoot at the red squirrel.
