searching for eggs, and then when the
trials and sorrows of life are contem-
plated, the struggles of youth, the part
ings and labors of life are considered,
life does seem long. But when we near
the end, IL Is only a little while. Life
is indeed brief when compared with
eternity. Length Of life has been short
ened by sin.
COMFORTS OF THE AGED.
"Age brings its inevitable losses. We
lose the elasticity and bloom of youth.
The blush Of the cheek, the brightness
of the eye, the grace of motion are all
lost. Suppose we have lost these-we
have, If we have lived Cody lives,
gained in beauty Of character. Our
faces show the marks OF struggles, but
there is also reflected patience, severity,
the beauty of stability Of character
and the beauty OF age is q thousand
times better than that Of youth. Ripe
fruit is sweetest. II youth is given to
God, IL we are grated in Christ, old age
is more glorious than youth, especially
IL in the voyage of life we have had
Christ at the helm. Those aged ones
who are here today laid the foundation
of their lives in Christ.
IF this body or house Of clay becomes
decrepit, you have the assurance that
beyond this life is a house not made
with hands, eternal in the heavens,
where old age never comes, and where
the body will not grow old. Old age
may be useful. One of the hardest
things for old persons to bear Is the
thought that they are becoming a bur-
den. But they that are planted in the
house of God shall be fat and flourish
ing, and they bring forth fruit in their
old age We need the counsel and ex-
ample of the old. old men for counsel
and young men for war;
"Life's evening will be moulded by
what has gone before. Many are not
here because their lives were not such
as to bring long life, and If we want
that our last days should be happy, we
must live right now. Then the endless
age Of eternity shall be ours.
God bless you. May every day grow
brighter and more beautiful to the
close of life."

"POLITlCAL NOTES."
A COlumbiana County Paper
That Preferred to Do Its
Own Thinking.

The New Waterford Magnet Is one
Of the newspapers that has come over
to the Democratic fold, unwilling to aid
and abet the imperialistic schemes of
the Republican party managers. Chair
man Charles Dick. from his lofty pedes-
tai and in complete ignorance Of the
charges that are being wrought among
newspapers and people by the admins
tration's attitude, sent the Magnet
batch Of prepared editorials, such as
are printed under the caption political

remote from the front porch shrine.
The last issue Of the Magnet contains
this reference to the matter:

with a request that we make any use of
them we desire. We return thanks to
Mr.. Dick, and assure him that at pres
ent we are not hard pushed" for a sup
ply Of political thunder; moreover, that
the only use we have for the matter
sent us, is to replenish our supply Of
kindling. There are some other things
for which it would not do, on account
Of the usual amount Of "lie" the matter
contains. In short, we are not sup
porting Bill and Mark this year. We
helped them four years ago, believing
they would guide this nation along the
lines laid down by our forefathers and
the constitution of the nation. They
have failed and instead gone off after
strange Gods. They will possibly con-
tinue to go wrong, but we won't follow
them, hence have turned our artillery
in the opposite direction. And, in do
ing this we have the conscience to know
that we are not disappointed office
seeker-never asked for an office and
never expect one, hence we have the
nerve to talk and vote for whom we
please, and we please to vote for Will
liam Jennings Bryan at the coming No
vember election. If Mr.. Bryan is de-
feated, we will still have the assurance
of right and believing that we have dis
charged our duty as a true American,
hence our conscience will be clear.

COAL DEALERS f
WILL PROTEST.
Allowed 48 Hours In Which to
Unload Coal Cars.
INDIGNATION MEETING HELD
During the Early summer by Dealers and
Manufacturers and Temporary waiv-
Ing OF Order rsecured-DeaIers
VIII Meet.

The order promulgated by the Cleve-
land Car Service Association during the
early part Of the summer. requiring
As hours after their receipt, has been
sustained by the association at a meet
held few days ago. The local coal
dealers will take the natter UP at q
meeting to be held Wednesday, and
discuss what future steps shall be taken
by them to secure further time.
1t has been customary in many years
past for the Car Service Association to
permit retail dealers to unload cars in
96 hours and wholesale operators In 4S
hours. This order Of things was re-
Gently reversed and the retailers were
unload in 4S hours. A sort of indigna-
tion meeting was held in this city, in
the assembly room in the city hall at
that time, at which proment manufac-
turers present stated their intention of
using gas or other means

limit Of time in which they were to un-
load cars. The effect Of the meeting
was that petitions were drawn up,
signed by nearly every prominent
manufacturer in this city, asking for
the re-establishment Of the old rule and
the resembling Of the order. The petitions
were presented to the agents Of the
traffic association in this city and
copies also sent to Cleveland. The
petitions seemed to have a magical ef-
feet, for an order was shortly afterward
received allowing the retailers the four
days time.
At the meeting Of the association at
Cleveland few days ago this matter
was discussed and the association de-
cided to rescind the last order and give
the dealers only two days time to un-
load coal cars. What effect this order
will have on dealers and manufac-
turers can best be stated from the re-
marks Of a prominent member Of a
large manufacturing concern some
time ago.
WHAT THEY WILL DO.
"If this order allowing us only two
days time is not waived" said the gen.
tleman, ''our shops will be run with
gas or such provision made that we will
do away with coal altogether. The de-
mands Of the traffic association are I'M

empty our coal cars just as we want to-
and the association will be the party to
suffer. A list of some so or 100 coal
dealers and manufacturers has been
secured and we will fight the associa-
| ton If that is necessary.

GIVING TO CHURCH.
Rev. Brewbaker Talks On Tha t
Theme At the Y. NJ. G.
A. Meeting.

Considering the hot weather there
was very good attendance at the Y.
M. c. A. meeting Sunday afternoon,
Rev. Brewbaker, pastor of the U. B.
church, led the meeting. He talked
on the subject. What are you giving
to the church? The men of today"
he said, do not give enough time and
energy to church work. They may be-
come members but few take an active
interest in church work. There are
more women than men in the churches
now, and they give a great deal more
time and action to church work than
the men who are in church." He
wanted more men in church, but, after
they are in, he wanted them to take
greater interest in the work and
actively help the churches along.

A Hanoverton woman created some
excitement in Salem a few days ago
by saying that she had lost a roll Of
bills amounting to 500. The Hanover
ton correspondent writes that the
woman had placed the money in the
bosom of her shirt waist, and the next
day after returning from Salem she
found 1t In the back Of her corset. This
leads us to remark that, although
they may have money to waste in Han

enough to go half way round.
