says that women who refuse to tell
their age, or indulge in any mac
curate statements thereof, shall, on

The parents of children, who are
allowed to play in the middle of
the streets under arc lights must
not blame bicycle riders if ther lit
tie ones get run down and injured.
Every evening certain portions of
our streets are used by very small
children as play ground. They
do not see the danger they are in,
and it is impossible for a driver of
a team or bicycle rider to turn out
for a crowd of children.
A judge in Chicago the other
day interrupted the unintelligible
testimony of a witness in court by
saying Take that stuff out Of
your mouth. How do you expect
me to hear what you are saying
when your mouth is filled with a
wad of gum ? This practice of gum
chewing on the witness stand must
stop. If you talk as plainly as YOU
can the jury will have trouble
enough hearing you, without your
making it worse by rolling that
great wad under your tongue"

Two very interesting pairs o.
twins are living at Wichita, Kan.
They are Wilbur F. and John F.
Sites. They are ffty-four years
old, and look so much alike tha,
only intimate friends can tell them
apart. They married twin sisters,
the Misses Alice and Carrie Worth.
The two feinilies live together ir
the same hoase in Wichita. Thirty
years ago the brothers embarked in
business together in Wichita, anc
the same old sign, =" Sites Bros.

ness relations between them, which
still exist
1t is seldom, indeed, says an ex
change, that the sweet girl 2radu
ate goes directly from the com
mencement exercises in which sh,
participates to her own wedding
but that is just what graduate o
the Shamokin High School did OF
Thursday night of last week
Somehow, too, her classmates go
all inkling of what was going on
although it had been planned t,
have the happy event pass off yer,
quietly, it was not the private affai
that was anticipated. The younj
ladies' home is just across the stree
from the Opera House, in whicl
the graduating exercises were held
and the bride to be, just before tn
knot was tied, had the pleasuse {
welcoming her entire class to tn
near at hand nuptials. This sh
did very cordially, and all wer
merry as marriage bell. The po.
graduate wedding is quite nov
city and it would not be at all SUI
prising if it should become qui,
popular so.

HOPES THAT ARE VAIN.
In Becoming Americans Immigrants
 Lose Their Former Nationality.

It is natural that the FinlanderS who are about to abandon their own coun" try to avoid political and other forms of ori3ressiCn should cherish a hope that their spiritual union be kept up and strengthened in the new world. It is natural that they should seek ''localitiss where they may organize communities and where the culture of the native country may be kept up and developed" These aspirations do the Finnish people crodit, for they 1ndi cate a patriotic and domestic sensibil- ity cf high order. Their hopes, how ever. are vain. It is not in the nature of things that their scheme of con- tinuous spiritual union" shall be car kried into effect. The new world af- lords a home and welcome for exiles ike themselves, but it fails not to make over in it's own image all who come to it. When tke continent was new, England, France, Spain, Holland, and Sweden tried to reproduce their own kind in new world communities, but ,withcut success. At a later time special bodies of immigrants held to- gether by ties combinin the. forces Of nationality and religious affinity e5-
 
 original character was soon lost.
 More recently, large masses of for edgners have established themselves ill special communities, as the Northman in Minnesota and the German in Wis consin; but their race union has been brief Scandinavian and German newspaper printed in these centers find fewer readers than ten years ago, and are only maintained by fresh arrivals from the old country people not fanll- jar as yat with the English language In few years the German Ter Nor Wegian settler comes to prefer the newspaper of the country rather than those printed in tha native tongue, and especially edited to suit the foreign taste.
 The children of the immigrants learn English faster than the old country speech; and by the time they have reached maturity are hardly to be dis tinguished from native Americans whose ancestors belonged to the period before the revolution. Children of foreign parents born in the United States are not commonly able to un- derztanld the language to which their fathers and mothers were born. It will be with the Films as with ether nationa.ities In becoming Ameri- cans they will cease to be Films. And if it were not so, we should not invite them here-Portland Oregonian.

Georgia, let it come. I'm pleading for the cause of our people, the voice of every hot-headed mob to the contrary The good people of Georgia shall net, with my help, ba slandered by the foul deeds of a hc'wling mob of assassins. :"
 This was Sunday evening. Sunday night persons unknown broke into the Tabernacle" and proceeded tc relieve their feelings by means of malicious michief. The New York Herald's cor respondent in that city reports: Doors were torn down. carpets ripped up. benches overturned and paint was dropped over the 1ocr. The church presented a t1rri5le sight.
 It will net 'be fer the credit of the city. nor of the state, if these unknown persons remain unknown and unpun- isihed. Any bodily harm befalling Preacher Broughton because of this denunciaticn of mob law would be a rather serious misfortune for Atlanta and for Georgia.

abo,1t 50 cents a day and his board, but where he has only small jobs his rates are higher. He dces not work fast, but takes his time, and it is simply mar valous to see what he does with fine steel pen.
 sSHe would not undertake to make bank note with a pen, but there is no question that he could do it. He has written invitaticns to weddings and funerals that could hardly be tod at first glance fI'ctm engravings. He has turned out as many as fifty brief in vitaItions in two days work, and when they were finished all were alike and you could tell no two apart He has taught several of the backwoods coun- try farmer boys to become quite expert with the pen, and slcme of their work looks exactly like first-class engraving.
 "Francke was born in Germany, drifted tc this country many years ago and has lived an easy, happy-go-lucky life ever since, earning all the money he needs with his pen. I have seen city sharps at country fairs, or on street corners at a store box, writing visiting cards with a grsat deal Of flourish, but these experts couldnt t hold a candle to Francke. Their writ ing looks like penwork, but F'rancke's is like copperplate engraving. He car ries a good assortment of blank cards with him, and in this way the city vis- itors tos backwoods farm hOus5s are frequently surprised upon coming across mountain girls who have very beautiful visiting cards. They got theirs from the travelling penman. He has his regular route each week and gets around onee a year to the vari- ous farmers he knows, his territory covering some thirty miles in each di- reetion. n."-New York Sun

A TRAVELLING PENMAN.
Origin of Some Beautiful Script Found
 in Farm Houses in Pennsylvania.

-'You would not take that old GeT- man sitting there" said the landlord of the country inn, ito be one of the mlost expert penmen in the country, but all the same he is. He travels from farm housa tc farm house all over this part of the state, and has all the work he can do. His name is George Francke, and his age about 50. When he wants to take rest he comes here and lays off.
 -'At thl farm house he takes the family Bible and writes down the mar riages, births and deaths of the fam fly in German CT English script, and so well dcne that it resembles the finest engraving He transcribes marriage certificates almost equal to the best bank note lettering. He is rugged and brown and his fingers rough and knotty, but he turns out work that is simply wonderful. He is so expert that he has the annual job of lettering the diplomas of all the graduates at several big nicrmal schools in the state. He has worked for weeks at one time at one farmhouse writing or printing family histories, wills, certificates of baptism, church combinations, etc, and the penmanship invariably re- sembles copperplate.

NEWS FROM ATLANTA.

We hope that urban Georgia is net poing to add disgraceful epilogue to the recsut tragic doings in rural Georgia. but indications seem to point that way.
 The Rev. l.. G. Broughton is Bap- list preacher in Atlanta-Georg chief city and capital. The "Taber- nacle'' in which he breaches Is the largest religious edifice in the city and in the state A week age Sunday night he preached against mob law, and de- nounccd the men who burned Sam Hose alive as savage murderers. Those Whc defended ard applauded the atroc- ftv. were no better at h1art than the perpetrators, he said. Almost half hundred persons in the pews got up and went out whi.c he was speaking.
 A day or two later he received package containing what purported to be a piece Of Sam Hoses roasted flesh, and a warning to leave the state inn rnediately. Threats of on5 sort and another came to his ears through the week. Sunday evening, when he start ed for his pulpit, he found this placard posted on the street corners: "Wi,at do YOU think of Broughton? I think he ought to be whipped. Who will join a crowd to whip Broughton, the negro l-wer?"- He walked on, and a few nlinu5es later was talking 10 the At lanta Baptists in this fashion:

THE EASTERN SITUATION.

When war between the United states and Spain was a fact Admiral Dewey md his vessels were thousands or miles from home, but within six hundred miles of one of the Spanish fleets and one of the Spanish colonial possessions. That Spanish feet stood as a menace to American ships on the Pacific ocean and thus it was that Admiral Dewey who was compelled by the laws of neu- frality to leave Hong Kong within tweuty-four hours, was ordered to meet and destroy the Spanish Vesse-s. He obeyed orders to the letter and the world knows the sgcry. The spanish vessels destroyed, it remained for Adj rniral Dewey to provide himself with basis of action. He was thousands oI miles from a home port and thus Ma nila. becama a new home port He knew. and his government knew, that Spain had an additional fleet at Cadiz. to say nothing of the CerveTa fleet, that had not yet sailed to it's fate. It might have been possible fer either or those fleets to hurry to the Pacific and cause trouble to our ships there Dewey remained at Manila, and no Spanish warship went in his direction Then came the capture Of Manila the day after the peace prctccc. was signed and before it's terms could be sent to Dewey
 What has followed Is So fresh in the minds of tha people that it is not worth recalling. On February ,, in spite of the offers of the Americans to deal fairly with the Filipinos, the army of Aguinaldo connived to attack Manila under cover of darkness for the pur- pose of murder and arson. But they had failed to reckon with the Ameri- cans. and since then there has been mere CT less fighting. The strugg-e was not of our selection, but there was no other way open. In spite or the oi1tcry upon the part of some Amer1- cans the American army pressed for- ward and in less than two months the Filipincs were begging fer peace
 If peace does result now the three months of fighting will not have been in vain. Better two or three months of hardships and the, loss of few men than to turn the islands over to the brutal mob that cuts eff the heads oi it's own people with whom 1t dlsagrees and better than the possibilities Of an arbitrary native government based up- on Spanish principles, with the prop able result of arson, murder and loot . ing
