The Tragedy Of Youth.

The moral sensibilities OF young
man who will deliberately get drunk,
and permit people to see him in that
condition with no sense of shame, must
be decidedly dull. For youth who
aspires to be useful in the world to fire
his brain with alcoholic stimulants and
put himself on the road to degradation,
is positive calamity. One of the dir
est tragedies in human life is TO see a
young man, buoyant with health and
energy, destroying himself by licen-
tiousness and debauchery. Many APP
parently bright young men ruin them
selves in that way. In some cases,
perhaps, IT is on account OF lack Of
proper moral training, and in others n
natural grossness of composition that
drives its victim to ruin. A youth with
any appreciation of what is wholesome
and elevationg, seeing himself in the
way that leads to enfeebled imbecility,
should at once face about and flee from
the terrible doom that otherwise awaits
him. m.-PunXsutawney Spirit.

OUR FARMING COMMUNITY.
The Tillers of the Soil Want Cash for
Their Produce.

Last week an article was published In

and help build up the town. Last Satur-

OF this paper that he had read the
article and that he thought 1t was
alright, but from his experience and
observation he was compelled to say
that tho grocerymen OF this town do
not give the farmers the encourage
ment that they should. He said, "when
we bring produce TO town, apples, po-
tatoes, &C., we have trouble sometimes
In disposing of them at market price,

been finding a good market in another
town and, of course, that is where
have been taking most of my produce. 80
This is matter that our merchants
should give careful consideration. A
good farming community'is "a wonderful
help and a blessing to q town and the
tillers of the soil should receive all
possible encouragement by giving them
market, aud when they cannot supply
the demand then IL is time TO send TO
other communities for produce. When
the farmers know that If they have Il
hundred bushels of potatoes to sell that
they will get the market price in cash,
then they will raise the potatoes. Try
paying the farmer cash for what he
brings into town and pay him as much
as you would have to pay for the same
article, freight included, II you send
away for 1t, and see If there will not be
less farm produce shipped into Reyn.
oldsville on the cars in two years from
now than there is now, and see If the
farmers will not put forth greater
efforts to supply the markets with fresh
produce.
We talk about getting new industries
to increase :he business of our town and
build it up, but we are surrounded by
great industry-farming community
which is not being utilized as it should

has from long usage been consecrated

belief that from this finger a nerve
went direct TO the heart. So complete

that their physicians term this the
medical or healing finger and used il
to stir their mixtures. from a notion
that nothing noxious could communi-

heart. This superstition Is retained in

ALASKA Is FERTILE

Alaska Is not as barren a land as
people generally regard 1t. The COM
monty received opinion Is that 1t Is a
region of snow and ice, Of chilly blasts
and utter desolation. Governor Brady.
however. thinks there Is much to en-
Joy there. IL one may judge by his
Thanksgiving proclamation, in which
he sets forth many reasons for graft
tude. Here are some Of them: I'VE in
Alaska in comparing our blessings with
those which friends enjoy in other
places find that we have much for
which to be thankful. We have an
abundance of grass, and where men
have attempted to till the earth 1t has
yielded many fold and those who have
tried IL are satisfied that greater things
are in store for them. The sea has not
failed to yield of its abundance and
our fishermen have been handsomely
rewarded for their toll. The mineral
wealth of Alaska is more promising to-
day than in the past. 1t Is here, and
when obtained will represent human
effort. We have not been visited by
destructive disturbances of the at
mosphere, earth or sea While we re-
count our manifold blessings our
thoughts will be tempered by the ca.
lamity which overwhelmed so many
people on the steamship Islander and
by the humiliation which we feel in the
manner of the death Of President Nc
Kinley."

The WEDDING RING

Attached TO the use of the ring in
the earliest times there have been mys-
tic meanings. Whether the plain band
or the motto-inscribed article which
the changing times brought into fash
ion, the ring has retained the signifl-
anc attached to 1t as n sacred EN-
ceremonies. To the ~devoutly religious
or the careless scoffer at religion the
little %circlet has its charm.
From the earliest period mystic sig.
nificance has been associated with the
ring. In its circular continuity 1t was
accepted rs a type of eternity and Of
the stability of affection. The Jews
make 1t an important feature of the
betrothal In the marriage ceremony.
The rings used in the Jewish marriage
rite were sometimes of large size and
much elaboration of workmanship. 1t
is necessary, according to the Jewish
law, that the rings be of a certain val
ne. 1t is examined and certified by
the officiating rabbi and chief officers
of the synagogue when 1t is received
from the bridegroom. whose absolute
property it must be. and not obtained
by credit or gift. When this is prop
erly certified the ring is returned to
him and he places it on the brides
finger, calling attention to the fact that
she is, by means of this ring, conse-
Grated to him, and so completely bind
ing is this action that. should the mar
r!age not be further consecrated, no
other could be contracted by either
party without a legal divorce.
Solemn betrothal by means of the
ring often preceded m%atrimony in the
middle ages and was sometimes adopt
ed between lovers who were about to
separate for long periods. Shakespeare
has more than once alluded to the Gus
tom, which is absolutely enacted in his
