THE LOOM or DREAMS

I broider the world upon a loom;
I broider with dreams my tapestry
Here in a little lonely room
I am master of earth and sea.
And the planets come to me-
I broider my life into the frame,
I broider my love, thread upon thread, .
The world goes by with its glory and
shame;
Crowns are bartered, and blood is shed;
/ sit and broider my dreams instead.
And the only world is the world Of my
dreams.
And my weaving the only happiness,
For what is the world, bat what it seems,
And who knows but that God, beyond
our guess,
Sits weaving worlds out of loneliness?
Arthur Symons, in the Saturday Review.

Customs Men Dismissed.

1t was 4 very unpleasant surprise for
ten of the employees in the upstairs
rooms of the custom house when they
received letters dismissing them from
the service, on account of their failure
to pass the civil service examinations.
All of the men employed in the office
had to take the examinations. and
We're temporarily employed until the
results were known. These showed
that ten men, several of whom are of
had failed to get the required percent
age.
While there are eligible applicants
who can be placed in the place of the
discharged inspectors, there are so few
eligibles to draw from for the clerical
force that probably a dozen good sala-
ried positions will be left vacant
1t is possible that the department on
finding these conditions here will send
men from the States to fill these va
cancies. On the other hand it is pos
sible that some provision viii me made
for holding a new examination here ir
the near future. If neither of these
things is done, there will be a good dea

In continual hilarity, and runs the
gamut Of sensation, farce, melodrama
and variety. A murder is committed, a
theatrical company arrives and gives
part Of an entertainment at a railroad
station, pretty lunch-counter girl falls
in love with tramp who eventually be-
comes as attractive a lover as any girl
could wish. Pretty girls sing and
dance themselves Into popularity, and
"Side Tracked" moves along without a
dull moment, with the soubrette and
tramp in the lead Sensational climaxes
are found In the scenes OF railroad con-
trivances. The company numbers some
clever performers, and considerable
special scenery is used for the play.

CHOSE HIS

Actor Refuses Money Left

Legacy Had a String to 1t
in the Form of a Condi-
ton That the Beneficiary
Marry a Certain Woman.

William S. Gill, a young man who ap-
peared in the role of "Ebenezer Tobb, -
the sexton of the Baptist church, In the
production of 1.-The Village Postmaster
at Hazleton opera house Monday even
ing, has been placed in a very odd posi-
tion by will made by his uncle, who
recently died in Liverpool, England. 1t
is a will that smacks more OF the novel
than real life.
The will leaves Gill $4,000 If he will
marry the ward of his uncle. Gill is
deeply in love with young woman who
is member of the company and they
are engaged to be married. He prompt
ly decided that II he cannot get tho
money without taking the ward also,
the money is not for him.
A letter was received on Saturday BY
Gill from his father, James Gill, Of Bos-
ton, apprislng the young man Of the
terms OF the uncle's will. The uncle
was Major John Reynolds, who died In
Liverpool short time ago from the
effect Of wounds sustained while fight
Ing in South Africa.
The ward OF the deceased is the
daughter OF brother officer who died
in India some years ago. After that
sad event she was cared for by Reynolds
as II she was his own daughter. 1t was
his hope that his nephew would marry
his ward and with view to encouraging
this idea he shaped his will. Fate de-
creed that this should not be.
Gill has never seen his uncle's ward,
but Notwithstanding this he does not
hesitate to say that she is not for him.
Il did not hesitate q moment In max
ing choice" he said in talking about
the matter. "What is e5, 900 as COM
pared to life's happiness. Money is
good thing, but it is not everything,
and with me 1t would not weigh for an
instant against the woman | hope will

Officials Violate Promises.

The trainmen on the d. S. & s. Rail-
road were given the surprise of their
lives yesterday when they opened their
pay checks and found that the officials
of the road had broken the promises
made to the railroaders to increase their
wages to the scale recently adopted on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
Some weeks ago the d. S. e S. men
asked for an increase in wages, taking
the new rate of the Lehigh Valley Com
pany as basis. The officials at Drift
ton reluctantly consented to pay the
scale of the other road, and nothing
more was thought of the matter by the
men until yesterday.
After receiving their checks the rail-
readers found that the increases were
six mills per hour to the conductors and
