THE DINNER HORN.

The dinner horn. the dinner horn,
The sweetest sound that e'er was born:
H winds away so loud and clear,
And none so deaf but he can hear.
New life it puts in man and boy,
And lights each face with newborn joy;
The lad who scarce before could crawl
Now lightly vaults the orchard wall.
The hired man who droned along
Now cheerily carols the latest song.
And steps are swift that were slow before,
AS straight he strides for the kitchen door.
The tramp too, hears; his nap it breaks;
With hungry sniff his way he takes
To where looms up the farmhouse gable
To take his chance al second table.
o dinner horn, dinner horn,
Sweetest OF sounds that e'er was born;
I'd sing your praises some more, vow,
But I've got to quit; hear it now!

for they called each other dear and
were most affectionate in manner;
and the one with the picture hat re-
marked, after they were seated in the

the one with an orchid in her button

hoped he would find in the life he had
chosen enough of happiness to COM
pensate for woman's broken heart
and for the family name he had dis
honored and the respect of the world
which he had forfeited. The letter So
bered him trifle. He had a genuine
affection and respect for the girl, and
the thought that he had lost her stag
gered him at first. But he only plunged
the harder into debauchery.
After he had exhausted his in
genuity in finding fresh ways to
shock the community and humiliate
his father, he went to New York taxi
ing with him a more or less brilliant
train of satellites. There his fast life
was continued. His luck did not fol-
low him and as the months went by
his store of cash grew less and less
One day something over a year after
he left the home city he awoke to the
realization that he was practically at
the end of his pile. This news he
gently broke to the satellites who had
been feeding off him, with the effect
that there was a great 3currying of
rats to get away from the sinking
ship. All were more or less hurt at
his lack of consideration at going
broke and all accepted last little
loan from the dregs and faded away.
One night he turned into a popular
roof garden, heavy with liquor, and
came directly face to face with his
father and Irene Dawson. The old
man looked him full in the face and
without sign of recognition. Irene
with an expression of disgust drew in
her skirts that they might not touch
him. \ smile came into his flushed
face.

THE SPECIAL REWARDS.
One Thousand Dollar Scholarships
Make Attractive Incentives.

This year it was decided to limit
the special rewards to those of an edu-
catiOnal character, and with this end
in view eight scholarships are offered
in the very best edcuat tional nStitu-
tionS in the state. Last year the re-
wards were divided. five being schol-
arShipS and five selected from the
stocks of Scranton merchants. AT the
close of the contest each of the first
ten successful participants evnced
such a decided preference for a schol-
arship that it WAS then decided that
if another contest VAS held all the
rewards should be of AN educational
nature.
