Women do not, as a rule, ! lA
realize how the steady ~
drains which sometimes
afHict them must at last react on the
mind. Sometimes, it is only fretfulness,
i~rritability or peevishness. At other
times the condition passes beyond un.
reasonableness to irrationality.
With the relief of the body, from dis
ease, DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
gives also a cheerful mind and contented
spirit. When the drains and pains are
stopped the mind scars up like a balloon
from which dead weight has been cast
out. Mothers who never knew a happy
moment when the birth hour confronted
them, and younger ONE doomed each
month to a period of mental depression

a perfect cure by the use of "Favorite

The Telephone Situation.

CNYDER COUNTY is blessed(s) with two
~ telephone companies, operating two sera-
rate and distinct lines. Now telephone privile-
ges are certainly a convenience and necessity to
modern business methods, but to have two COM
panies operating in the same territory, each hav-
ing different set of subscribers, without courte-
Gus privilege of using the competing line, repre-
sents state of affairs inimical to modern progress
and rapid development. Snyder county is not
large, but, in order to reach only two-thirds Of
the towns in the county, 1t is necessary to rent
phones from two different companies, necessita-
ting an outlay of two rents. Most business men
will rent from one company only, Others from
neither, because, no matter which one is taken,
about one-half the county cannot he reached, for
subscriber of one line cannot communicate with
subscriber of the other line without toll.
This is state of affairs that should not exist.
Connection, by mutual courtesy, is made witt
lines outside the county, and the same rule should
apply to the Penn Telephone Company and the
Spring Telephone Company We understand that
the representatives of the Penn, Spring and Tus-
carora Valley Telephone companies had meet
ing las, week to consider plans by which subscri-
bers of one line can use the other line without ad
dtional charge. This should be done by all
means 1t will inure to the benefit of the own.
ers of both lines as well as to the subscribers Of
both. The owners of both lines will get more
subscribers, because many more will be willing
to pay phone rent if all the territory covered by
both lines can be reached, and thus secure addi-
tiona service without increasing the expenses Of
either company.
We sincerely trust that arrangements will Be
speedily perfected whereby subscribers of either
line can use the entire line in Central Pennsyl-
vania, yea, eventually of the entire State, and
finally reach all parts of the United States.

THIS ONE of the many titles tradition and the
ology gives to the Devil, but the word does not
really express the darkness and wckedness ascrbed
to his sooty majesty. The Seer, Isaiah intmates the
reverse when he refers to him as " Lucifer, Son of
Morning, and Webster says, "Lucfer, the planet We
nus, Goddess of Love- The word is derived from
the Latin, LUX, lucis, light, and FERRE to bring,
Light-bringer." Lucer, then, instead of express
ing darkness, or anything Internal is light bearer
So, superstitious craft is always busy placing dark
ness for light and making the real truth of non-ef-
fect-reversng the natural order of things.
Lucifer, proper, does not stand for the traditional
Devil but for Light against darkness reason, infor
nation against pure superititous ignorance; science
aganjt tradition justice against privilege; invest-
cation, (as in Eden,) enlightenment against credu-
ty ignorance and arbitrary fiat; liberty against slav
cry. The "Lght that brighteneth every Soul that
cometh into the world" and opens our sensbilities

THE CITY OF GOLD
BY ARJUSA, PRINCE OF INDIA

9 And I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusa-
m, coming down from God out of heaven.
And l heard great voice out of heaven, say.
81 Behold, the tabernacle of GOD Is WITH MEN
, HIS people, and God himself shall be with them,
nd be their God.
12 And the building of the wall of it was of jas
Dr., and the city was PURE GOLD, like unto clear
Chapter q.
From the days of Saint Johns revelation
The marvellous story is told,
And the song has come down thro the ages
The song of the City of Gold.
To the innocent hearts of the children,
TO the toers who faint meath the sun
To the old who have fought out its problems
To the dying whose journey is done
Comes the dream of the Mystical City
With color and lovliness rife,
IriGescent its jeweled foundations,
FlOwer-bordered its River of Life
And the streets of the City are Golden,
And the sea as of crystal appears
And the sound of the harpers is in it,
And it knows not of sorrow or tears.
Like mirage far out on the desert,
Like the fabric that fashions our dreams
Like n many-hued mirror'd reflection,
The Pure Golden City beseems
Some grope mid the types and the shadows,
A d fret at its yelling disguise;
Their hearts cannot gr .sp ror conceive it
Its glory is hid from their eyes
They catch but note of its music,
a glimpse swiftly passing and faint
A hint of its wondrous pc fectiOn,
Low-whispered to seer and to saint
Yet the glow of it shortens the journey,
And more bravely our feet tread the sod
On the road to the SOrrowless City
Whose Builder and Maker is God.
And thus, as IA gift to the ages,
The marvellous story flows on,
And the heart of man rests on the vision
That illumined the eyes of Saint John.

Wolverton was the only man able to defeat Focht.
Because of the strike Wolverton did not dare to
accept John V. Lesher is good man, but he
had to be turned down because Judge Bucher
thought Lesher's National Guard record would
injure him in the coal regions. They, therefore,
nominated Hon. F. f. Brown, of Lewisburg.
The conference was not the most harmonious
one on record. The Bucher crowd proposed to
cut Lesher out on the first ballot by getting the
Union county conferees and two Of Nortumber-
land countys conterees to vote for Shafer Of Sun
bury The plan failed to work. Lesher's friends
stood by him, and they were strong enough that
the political jobbers could not make a nomination
without Leshers consent. Although Lesher was
was not named, he was factor in the conference
that named the nominee, just the same.
