A half yearly meeting Of the directors
who manage the Northampton private
asylum had Just broken mp, and Lord
Spencer. member of that body. desir
ing to reach Althorp Park somewhat
more quickly than customarily, deter
mined to return home by a route which
intersects the grounds of the asylum
and which is rarely used save as sum-
mer parade for the unfortunate lunatics.
Arrived at the gate which separates the
asylum from the outer world. Lord
Spencer. much to his annoyance and
disgust, found it securely locked. A
keeper, however, happening to come in
sight just at that moment Lord Spencer
lost no time in explaining to him the
nature of his wishes
The man surlily replied that his or
ders were to the effect that no one
should pass through that gate except
due notice were given to him TO the
contrary by the authorities, and that,
being married man with wife and
a large family. he failed to understand
what special advantage was to be gain
ed by transgressing the rules and thus
placing his situation in jeopardy. OBJ
serving that the fellow was growing OBJ.
durate, Lord Spencer thought it best to
reveal his name and rank. imagining
that knowledge of the same would re-
call the man to his senses. Nothing of
the sort happened, however.
The stolid features of the keeper sim.
ply relaxed into broad grin, and as he
turned to depart he gently explained
that Lord Spencers in that particular
locality were as plentiful as blackber-
ries in the autumn time. Explanations
and expostulations were useless the dis
comfited earl being forced to return the
way he had come. Wit and Wisdom.

much in need of repair. In some places
the roof showed the blue sky overhead
and the walls were ornamented with
gaps.
The brigadier general was escorted
through the building by the colonel in

is the custom, to warn the men to stand
at attention in honor of the general.
AS they proceeded the general asked
"And how is the ventilation. colo

Mckinley Times Sure.

When the hard times struck the
country and the wages of laborers
was reduced, G. B. Howard & Co.
at this place, were the last to make
the cut in their mems wages, and
even then did not make the reduc-
tion until year after all other
lumbermen in this section of the
state had reduced their scale of
wages. Now, that Mckinley times
are once more here and the coun-
try is rapidly rising on the tide of
prosperity, this same firm are the
first of all lumbermen to raise the
wages of their mill crews. Last
Saturday, when the large crew
called at the office and received
their checks they were surprised to
see that this firm, without solicita-
ton, had given all men employed
in the mill a substantial raise.
The lumber business is prosper
Gus and G. b. Howard & Co., are
rushed with orders for lumber of
all kinds. The many millions of
feet of lumber stacked in the So
called "McKinley Yard two years
ago-so sneeringly referred to by
the calamity howlers-has all been
shipped to the market and almost
all of last years cut has been sold
and shipped. This enterprising
firm will cut about 100000 feet
of lumber this season, and it is not
necessary to say that Henry Auchu,
the mill manager of the firm, feels
good, likes good men and takes
pleasure in paying good wages to
good men, enjoys the good will of
his men, believes in good times,
and, being a good Republican, de-
lights to see the good times that he
said would come with the good old
Republican party in power proves
him good profit and wise man.

GRANT AND DEWEY DAYS.
Two Splendid Souvenir Numbers to
be Issued by the Philadelphia

The best authors and artists have
been hard at work preparing two
magnificent numbers of the Phila-
delphia Sunday Press" which
will be published Oh April % and
80. The former will be a Grant
Day souvenir and the other will be
a Dewey Day edition. The articles
and Illustrations in both will be
appropriate to the occasion and
most of the matter has been secured
from special sources, and has never
before been published, either in a
newspaper or magazine. Superb
color pages will add to the artistic
beauty of the both editions. The
front page of the Grant number
shows the splendid monument
which will be dedicated by Presi-
dent Mckinley in Philadelphia,
and the front page of the Dewey
number is a reproduction of a mag
nifcent painting of Dewey on the
Olympia, showing him as he looks
to-day. Be sure to get both these
editions which will be the hand
somest ever issued by newspaper

An Outrage.

One of our merchants tells us
that a class of non-mercantile tax
payers are canvassing Emporium
daily and weekly with samples Of
wall paper and soliciting orders
for the same. We do not blame
our wall paper dealers for feeling
sore and in demonstrating along this
line, he says: "H on should purchase
your wall paper of our business
men. who invest their capital in
that line of goods and import a
large assortment for the inspection
of the public and guarantee to sell
at prices in competition with the
so-called wall paper canvassers,
who do not invest one dollar in
stock. Those who purchase from
them know that when they pur-
chase, and the orders are "short,"
delays are always sure to occur,
and when the time comes for hang
ing the paper you must run around
town and endeavor to match the
paper or wait for days" These
are facts and we hope none of our
citizens are guilty of this injustice
to our home dealers. We do not
blame our wall paper dealers for
feeling injured in this particu-
lar, but their grievance is only one
of many. There are citizens in
this tOwn,as well as all other towns
in this state, who would not sleep
soundly at night did they not pur-
chase their dress goods in Philadel-
phia, their groceries in some cheap
clap-trap establishment and send
their printing to some apple-butter
printery in the city" Our mer-
chants would be surprised and feel
deeply offended were the PRESS or
independent to allude to certain
merchants who continually "bite"
at all catch-bargain printing
schemes launched in this place, to
the detriment of the home papers
and they would be equally surpris-
ed were we to tell the public of So
called "would-be" '1eading mer-
chants" who never think of leav-
ing one dollar in Emporium for
printing their stationery, etc. 1t
is certainly time our business men
stopped and asked the question;
care we doing our full duty by
our home papers, upon whom we
rely to further the interests of our
town and county," The life of
every prosperous town depends, in
a measure, upon the enterprise
displayed by its papers.
