Politeness towards "cubs" pays.

There are quite number of people

the fact that other people have them.

Romeo jumped to their feet, shook of
the ynow drifts and pursued their dis
turbers to the fence. They had been
enjoying their nap under the warm
snow and were angry at being dis
turbed.
After while they lay down again
and the snow once more drifted over
them and covered them, only little
round hole showing where their breath
stcamed upward.
Yhe elk and moose raced wildly
through the snow, charging everything
in sight. The timber wolves fought
each other in the deep drifts. The
mild-eyed prong-horned antelopes
rolled in the deepest part of their yards
and went fast asleep with the snow
drifting over them. The foxes roll
ed over till their fur was full Of snow,

Old Uncle Finn was good ole chap,
But he.never seemed fer to care rap.

To rise some day,
Just like as not
Ole Finn would say:

But 'taint so bad rs it might a been."
But big cyclone came long one day,
An the town was wrecked and bloWed

When tho storm had passed
We turned around
And thought at last
Ole Finn had found
The state O. things he was buried In
About IS bad as 1t might "a been.
So VIC dug i'm out o the twisted wreck
And lifted rafter of his neck.
He was bruised an cut,
And n sight to see;
He was ruined, but
He says, says he.

But after all, it's the likes o Finn

Have you heard OF the kid with the lions
heart?
How he stood on the roof one day,
And defiantly rallied Mt grim gray wolf,
Who was passing by chance that wayp
The incident happened in Aesop's time,
And the old man wrote 1t down
So that young and old ever afterward
Might read this tale OF renown.
The kid fairly pelted tho old gray wolf
With epithets fierce and strong,
Called him renegade, murderer, thief and
knave,
Then vauntingly cried "begone4'
"You are WISE" said the wolf, "that you
choose your time,
And place that Is high and dry.
Fare you well, valiant kid, VIC will meet
again
When you fall from your eminence high. u

from 32S feet to 620 feet. A tcn-second
wave was 512 feet long. The sides Oh
these waves had an average slop" OF
not less than l in 10. a set OF such
waves would have height OF rs feet,
but there was generally Swell run

Mr.. ]. J. McBrearty, Secretary,
Freeland Boro Council,
Freeland, Pa.
My Dear Sir.-Your letter OF March
IA, 1902, to Mr. Alvan Markle, General
Manager Of the Lehigh Traction Com
pany, has been received.
We are very much surprised at the
action OF your council in attempting to
put upon us what we consider an unjust
burdensome taxation for the small por-
ton OF line operated within your mun-
cipal limits.
In our letters to you Of September IA,
after which we met your committee at
the office OF the Lehigh Traction Com
pany, az well as in our letter of October
20, 1901, we tried to place our position
in this matter so that the boro council
could not fail to understand it. We did
not place our tracks upon the streets of
Fresland. We stopped at the boro
limits and Freeland annexed the terri
tory which our tracks passed through to
the municipality, and willing or unwill-
ing, we were forced into your boro
And when we received notice that the
council amended the ordinance, taxing
MS three hundred dollars (s3oo. oo) for all
cars operated by US in your Municipality,
together, we presume with tax on poles
and wire as contemplated in your orr
ginal ordinance, you will readily see that
the tax at once becomes so burdensome
that our only remedy will be to take up
all tracks within your boro and stop at
the boro limits.
II it Is your desire to have US do this
we would be pleased to hear from your
council at their very earlies. con eliencr.
Ii our tracks are once taken up to the
boro limits, they will only be replaced at
the expense Of the boro OF Freeland
We feel that such q course would prob
ably be unfair to your citizens and un-
fair to ourselves as we feel that Free
land is entitled to the same modern con-
veniences that other people have In
transportation. II the councils OF your
boro feel differently and insist on tho
payment OF these unjust taxes, then our
only remedy is to remove our tracks.
We would like to hear from you posi-
lively what tax your ordinance all to-
gether requires us to pay.
Kindly send us copy Of your whole
ordinance amended, and oblige.
Yours truly,
c. w. Kline,
President.
