WINGS.
The gods but half reluctantly


 Grant us the gift of song. Yet, tawny throat they give to thee Pure notes and pinions strong. To those blue worlds that arch above x We look, aspire-and fail. Thou, thou dost mount the skies we love. The stars We never scale. Thou knowest not, winged soul, the fires Of that old discord strange, The vast and infinite desires, The all too finite range. So sing for usl Our throats are still, And song no solace brings To whom the gods have given the will, But not, alas, the wings!

convention IN his usual animated |
manner on the subject biography IN
its Relation to Character Building"
Character is a growth. Actions re-
peated become habits, and habits
continued form character. Men are
liable to become the mere creatures
of habit. Youth is the impressive
age. Manhood is the reflective period
in which the impressions deepen into
convictions. We are, and should be,
in a sense hero worshippers. Books
of great men who were once poor
boys are of great value to young
people. The character that will
stand under pressure is the right one.
Among the traits of character that
may be developed by the study Of
great men are: patriotism, sympathy,
selfsacrihce and purpose.
The afternoon session opened at
1890. After singing by the Institute
Supt. Coughln delivered an address
on "Thoroughness in Teaching" He
said in part: The work of the teach
er is more than hearing recitations.
The effect of contact OF mind with
mind has moral value that cannot
be Indicated on the report card.
Questions in arithmetic should have a
good moral tendency. Moral train
ing is more useful in gaining liveli-
hood than the knowledge OF the text
book. When children are deprived
of the privilege of attending school
the loss of the disciplinary value OF
the school is to be lamented more
than anything else which they may
lose. Attendance in good school
means lessons in punctuality, order,
system, regularity, opportunity to ex-
Gel, recognition and approval and
equality.
There should be a demand for
shorter school hours. Too much
home work is not required of pupils.
If all the work could be done in the
school the teacher could determine
whether the work was done thoroughly
or not. The work of children should
be simplifed as much as possible. If
definite task is assigned to the pupil

DWELLING HOUSE DESTROYED.
The Local Fire Department Responded TO the
Alarm But Could Render no Assistance.

Our people were awakened from
their slumbers at an early hour Friday
morning by the sounding of the fire
alarm. While making his rounds,
night watchman A. v. Hover observ-
ed that the sky in the direction of
Light Street was all aglow and think
ing that it was building on the out
skirts of town, he hurried to box I3
and sent In an alarm. The fire
companies responded with their GUS
tomary alacrity and all the hose car
nages were out ready for action, but
realizing that the location of the con-
fagation made the use of their ap-
paratus impossible, it being too far
from any of the water plugs, the boys
after reaching point short distance
beyond the Town Hall, concluded
not to 60 any farther.
The building, which was, with all
its contents, entirely consumed, was
the dwelling house of J. J. Mussle-
man and was located on the left side
of the public road leading from
Bioomsburg to Light Street, probably
one mile beyond town. Mr.. Mussle'
man and family were absent. They
had left day or two previous, leaving
the property and some live stock ir
charge of Harry Zeigler, a young mar
residing just across the street. He hat
attended to everything the night be
fore, and as there was no, fire abou
the building the origin is indeed very
strange.
The fire had reached an advanced
stage of destruction before the Zeigle
household was awakened, and had !
not been for some hard work on th
part of the people who had hurried t.
tn scene, the Zeigler property woul
also have been consumed.
Mr.. Mussleman carried some in
surance, but the indemnity will nc
cover the loss.

Letter to TiOncsta Mantel Co.
TonoSid, IA.

Dear Sirs; You are makers; so are
we. You know what you make; you
know all about it. We know onr paint
as you know your goods.
We know what it is, how it acts, what it
does, how it lives. and how long-the con-
ditions being favorable or unfavorable.
1t is fair that we take the risk Of it
every way; but we ought not to risk any
use or abuse oft.
Can't draw the line we are dealing
with strangers. We are strangers to them
as they are strangers TO us,
We want to be trusted by thom. We
trust them first; that's the way to
get trusted. wetrust them TO paint with
a fair degree Of common paint knowledge
and care. We expect to be trusted to
furnish paint as good as paint can be, and
to last as long as paint can.
Ifyou do your business that way, you
are fellow with us and one of thous-
and.
A few mean men in the co1rse of a
wear will abuse our trust and put us to
loss; but 800 in 900 will tell their friends
how true we are, and our paint is. That's
what has made us the largest paint con-
cern in the world. 1t is our best adver-
tisement.
Yours truly,

THE ideas of honor, virtue and patriot
ism possessed by a people is the only
thing that elevates one country above an
other in moral sense. These, together
with the general average of intelligence,
humanity aud enterprise, constitute the
only true measure of superiority. But
how prone we are to forget this and re-
vert to the savage worship Of our savage
progenitors. A man with title and a
long line Of noble ancestors is given a
place in the popular esteem entirely out
ofprOportion to his deserts. What your
grandfather was is of no consequence un-
less it can be shown that he was man of
eminent virtues and that the grandson
inherlts his good qualities. What you
are is all important.-Piulr'y Spirit.

How TIMES change now and then.
Less than two years ago the Legislature
was all torn up over the attempt to pass
what is known as the McCarrell bill, re-
lating to the standing aside ofiurors, and
the enemies Of Colonel Quay were shout
ing that il was a bill devised in his inter-
est, that it was meant TO benefit him at
his coming trial, that it was wicked bill,
and all that sort Of thing. Last week in
the House that same bill passed almost
without a dissenting voice aud it looks
very much rs if it will become law.
There was nobody to shout that it is i'm
the interest Of any particular person. and
there was nobody to call it a wicked bill.
And vet there were many Of the men in
the House at the time who two years ago
fought the bill viciously and assisted in
killing it. for political reasons, you know.
