preach, and when the contribution box
Is passed drop in an envelope with our

Giving Christmas Presents.

when thou makest gifts" remarks
an old English writer, 'let them be of
such things as will last long; to the end
that they may be In some sort immor-
tai, and may frequently refresh the
memory of the receiver" But immor-
tality is not necessarily a blessing, as
theology teaches us, and frequently 1t
occurs that the Christmas gifts we
have received recall not pleasant
memories. The matter of giving gifts
on Christmas, however, Is one of the
most perplexing things Imaginable.
III the man at the door have no shoes
you have not to consider whether YOU
could procure him paint-box," writes
Emerson. Unfortunately the knowledge
OF the proper thing Is not always SO
plain and the same writer continues:
III at any time 1t comes into my head
that present Is due from me to some
body, am puzzled what to give until
the opportunity be gone" This feeling
OF duty, however, destroys all the
beauty of the gift, for though ''it is al
ways pleasant to be generous, 1t is very
vexatious to pay debts" The principle
OF duty, to, reminds one of the old It.
allan proverb, "a purchase is cheaper
than gift" Let your giving be
free and generous, or give not at all,
even In duty. And II some one lacking
inspiration what to give you, presents
an entirely useless gift, remember
that IT is good man who can receive a
gift well: make it, therefore, a point of
honor to be obliged to those who en-
deavor to oblige you.

that seem to exhale the sweets of wild
woodland flowers. 1t is picture Of
deep and thrilling interest. The Nov

death for more than week. She
peacefully passed into the great beyond
at 1870 a. m. to-day, Dec. 2l. 1901. She
realized for several days that she would
soon depart this life and she had no

with her brother, ID. +. Robinson.
Twelve years ago she returned TO
Reynoldsville with her brother, ID. F..
Robinson, here and remained. Belle
owned an interest In the Robinson shoe
store and when her health permitted
clerked In the store, thus she became
well acquainted with large number OF
people. She always had kind word
for people and made many warm friends
Early 10 life Belle joined the Presby-
terlan church and ever afterward re-
mained a faithful and devout christian.

Entire Family Almost Asphyxiated.

Notwithstanding the fact that THE
STAR and other papers have warned
people time and again of the danger Of
using rubber hose connections for stoves,
yet people continue to use the rubber
hose. just few nights ago family of
five, husband, wife and three children,
came very near losing their lives by a
rubber hose bursting in the night while

midnight Thursday night by section
hand. The body was ground TO pieces

In one of the pockets the body could

was from girl in Summervllle, with
whom Covert had an epgagmen for
Thursday evening. 1t is not known what
train killed Covert. A westbound
freight train passed through Brookvile
about 500 p. m. and the supposition is
that he attempted to jump on the
freight train to go to Summerville and
was dragged to tunnel and was there
ground to pieces. The night shifting
crew OF this place, G. o. Anderson, con-
ductor, gathered up the pieces OF the
body and put IL In box.

elaborate that time aud money can pro-
duce. He leads and others make weak
attempts to follow. He has many imi-

The County Institute.

The forty-sixth annual session Of the
Jefferson county teachers institute was
held In the Belvedere opera house at
Brookvile this week, and II was very
interesting institute. The teachers
were well pleased with both the day in
structors and evening entertainments,
and they highly appreciate County
Superintendent Teitrick's efforts to
give them the best talent possible for
institute week. The program, as an
nounced by Prof. Teitrlck, was carried
out, and the teachers we're not disap-
pointed.
Prof Teitrick has not only raised the
standard OF the county institute, but he
has also raised the standard of the
schools In the county during the six
years he has held the Office OF county
superintendent. He has certainly
proven himself to be proficient super
intendent, and there ls not shadow Of
a doubt but that he will be reelected
next May, and that without opposition,
as he would have big odds against any
opponent.

be run from the Reynoldsville branch

west of Reynoldsville. The prospects
of new railroad through the unde.
veloped fields in South jefferson will

and gas territory in the south end is
being tested, and the proposed b., r. &
