THE OLD BOOKS.

They are gray with the gray OF ages,
Borrowed, and begged, and sold;
Thumb-marked OF saints and sages,
In the scholarly DAYS Of old
Rose leaves pressed for lover
Rest N their pages dim,
Though silent centuries cover
All that is lett OF him
And feel in the ibrary's shadows
With this phostiy company,
The breath ol forgotten meadows
And the centuries over me.
And when twilight bells are calling
When the day with its stl'fcS is Ger
There are ghostly footsteps falling
Faint on the library floor,
Singers, and saints, and sages-
In the fame OF name we trust,
But time will cover our pages,
As even our tombs, with dust.
For here in the library's shadows,
Where the famed and fameless be,
/ roam in forgotten meadows,
With the centuries over me-

A PhrenOloyistO on Kipling.

A phrenoogist has been studying
what he is pleased to term Rudyard
Kiplng's mental makeup" He Is or
opinion that the Anglo-lndian's con-
stitution is such that it is as much
at home at active exercises, such as
cricket and football, as at poetry or
prose writing. He is not book-worm
as he is too observant OF the actual
things going on around him to spend
his life in sentiment. In fact, we
may say that he has few ideals, az
he deals with the practical in a prac'
teal manner 1t is to his orderly
timely and harmonious style that We
owe the fascination of his books"

Over an Embankmenf.

Last Friday morning while driving
to Emporium, Mr.. Jos. KisselI met with
an accident that might have been very
serious. The road between Cameron
and Sterling Run is in dangerous
condition, especially along that portion
where numbering was recently carried
on and the road sIants to the steep
embankment. At this point his team
and wagon slid over the steep bank,
Mr.. Kissell saving himself by jumping
in time The embankment is almost
perpendicular at this point for dis
tance of about one hundred feet and
had not the horses lodged against a
tree they would have been killed. AS
sistance came from Sterling and Cam
eron and with the aid of ropes and
tackle pulled the horses from their
perilous position, considerably bruised
but not seriously injured. This road
has long been the most dangerous in
the county and the fortunate escape of
Mr.. 'Kissell should prompt the proper
authorities to place guard rails along
the dangerous points at once.

Appreciated Kindness.

|
We wish to oreturn our sincere thanks
to the many kind friends, who so ably
administered to us in our late bereave-
ment.
Our beloved had but just passed to
the spirit land when from the WESLEYAN
parsonage, hurried comforter to as
sist and mingle her tears with ours.
A little later, the beloved pastor of the
deceased was with us, not to chide us
for our tears, but to point us to the
true comforter by kindly words and
eloquent prayer.
| To those Godfearing women, Mrs.
Heilman, Mrs. Olmsted and Mrs. La
Bar, who, born of the spirit, braved
the chilling blasts of the cold day, to
bring offers of assistance and words of
coincidence, we would say, in our
hearts you will ever be held in grateful
remembrance.
To the donors ofthose beautiful flow
ers, that decked her casket ON burial
day, our grateful thanks are given.
They were fit emblems of the pure
spirit flown away.
Such a radiant winters morning
ushered in her burial day, and as car
| riage after carriage unloaded it's living
freight of sad faced people, we recog-
nized large attendance of classmates
and her respected Sunday school
teacher; also the beloved president and
many members of her church band
ye, too, will be affectionately remem-
bered.
To the quartette- the beautiful
strains-'sweeping through the gates"
so softly, low, fell on our ear, the
thought came quickly to us-can those
voices be more sweetly attuned when
they sing the songs of the redeemed in
the Golden City? Gentlemen, when
you SO generously contribute your
Godgiven talent to the solace of the
sorrowing, their thanks is minor part
of your reward.
The beautiful thoughts and comfort
ing words that fell from the lips of that
gifted man of God, Rev. Metzler, was
as balm to our sorely stricken hearts.
To the bearers. When you so rev.
erently lifted the beautiful casket and
bore it out of the little church where
SO often she worshiped, up to the home
cemetery and consignedhert to her last
resting place, we were glad that you,
her dear friends and neighbors, were
delegated to this sad task, and not
strangers.
Last, not least, comes our gentle
manly undertaken. not as a man of
business, but as friend and brother,
came he to us, and took upon himself
all care and responsibility, and ably
conducted the large funeral cortege of
the deceased. The right man in the
right place, deserving the thanks we
truly extend him.

Cost of Electric Light.


Editor Press
No figures have been presented by
Mr.. Howard and only one statement
by Mr.. Catlin and that did not add up
correctly. Why don't these people
give us some facts and let each other
alone
Now, suppose the Electric Light
plant cost 100000, how much would
have to pay extra on my 100000 prop
erty valuation?
The Council would perhaps levy a
tax to pay:
On account of the 81, 600 bonds 5000 90 per year
Interest on $1,000 bonds, about SEQ 90 g
For coal or gas, about. ........ $50 90 "
For Asst Engineer, about, 80. 500 90
Man to repair wires and lights 600 90
For bookkeeper, ............... 300 90
Total, l,...............$ .$3, $50 90
Less 200 lights at CSC EACH. 600 90
s2.75o 90
This leaves balance of 80, ,750 to be
raised each year for twelve years, I'M
til the bonds are paid.
We are now paying each year,
Borough tax of about. ......... 5000 90
Bond tax of about, t,................... 500 90
water tax OF about, ................1,30 300 90
A total of 100000 and we want to
increase it 50, 10000 for light when we
can get good gas light for $4,000. Do
we? NOAH.
Emporium, Pa, January 26, 1901.
Editor Press
DEAR SIR-If you will allow little
space l would like to correct few err
rors which have appeared in the pa
pers.
The light in front of the Court House
cost 81 25 for post and lamp and about
$500 more to set it up and attach gas
pipe and fixtures and will cost $500
per year for gas with about $500 for
mantles to keep it in shape.
We now have about 80 gas torches
We could have 60 of these new lights
at total cost of $4,000 per year as
long as we have natural gas.
am not opposed to Electric Light,
if | find we can afford it, and if any
reliable Company will take the con-
tract will vote a ten years agree
ment to light the town at S60O.00 per
year, while we only pay $4,000 now
for gas.
do not believe the estimates as pub
lished in the PRESS were made by re-
sponsible people as there is an error of
81 100000 in the addition of the figures.
understand that Mr. Catlin receiv-
ed price on gas engine and dynamo
from the Westinghouse Company
the balance of the figures being made
up by Mr.. Catlin, Mr.. Metzger. and
Mr.. Hacket.
l never voted on the question of
taxes on the Iron Works, as the ques-
tion has not been before the Council
since | became a member nor was | a
member of the committee that bought
the sewer pipe and piled it on Broad
street.
Now in regard to Electric Light, the
Council has instructed their Secretary
to write to about dozen towns using
electric light and we should all with
hold our decisions until the report is
published in full.
The heavy taxpayer is generally the
first to paint his house and pay his
taxes without grumbling and promptly
votes for all improvements he thinks
! he can afford.
Personally | have no objection to
MIR. Metzger putting up the wires and
Mr.. Catlin acting as engineer and
manager, but do not think the town
can stand the taxes necessary to run
the plant.
Respectfully,
JOSIAH HOWARD.
