Shield budding, as practiced
here, consists in removing from

and replacing with similar sec.

we, of course, wish the best Of

THE USE OF PRIVATE CARS.

Now Almost \ Necessity in
Some Gases.

"The private car" said railroad
man, according to the New York Sun,
sis the best evidence in the world of
the continued evolution of the. business
man.
More and more private cars are be-
ing turned out every year, and where
one person had private car ten years
ago there are now 10 or 20 who own
them, or lease the m for long terms.
'The presidents of railroad compa-
MES were the first to have private cars.
Then the heads of large concerns saw
their possibilities and soon found that
they could hardly get along without
them. The theatrical stars saw the ad-
vertising to be gained by having pri-
vate cars, and lastly the rich man who
wanted comfort and privacy for him
self and his family began to use the
private car.
"The head of corporation or other
big concern who does much travelling
finds private car great convenience.
He makes the car his office, and where
he formerly lost a business day or two
in travelling he now loses little time.
"a car built for the business man is
practically travelling office. Sleeping
quarters are provided for only the man
himself, his secretary, stenographer
and servants.

A Little GRAVE

Thrice now the wintry winds have blown
Above the yellow grass blades here
And thrice the birds have sung and flown,
And thrice the leaves all brown aud
sere,
Have drifted softly, gently down,
While I. to win the praise of uen,
Have labored in the busy town
Forgetting now and then.
Forgetting? Nay. I have but tried
To laugh the ready tears away;
With but an outward show of pride
still have mourned from day to day,
And left the busy market-place,
AT night, to sit apart, alone,
And, dreaming, feel little face
Pressed softly to my own.
Thrice now the wintry winds have swept
Above my darling. sleeping here,
And 1, unseen, to-day have wept
Out many a long, long treasured tear.
And where my hopeless teardrops fell
New flowers of hope have bloomed for
me-
oh, I'll be glad in doing well.
Since one I love shall see.

QUESTIONS.
Mr. Rafter is we'll known in this city,
and with the writer was for many
years affiliated with Company r of the
old Thirteenth regiment.
His experience as a news writer on
several of the Scranton daily papers
gave him the necessary training to
compose Il newsy and interesting letter
on the results of his observations in
the land of Aguinaldo and the swarthy
Tagal
His last letter is mostly of per-
sonal nature, as he states that life is
too short and uncertain just at pres
ent, where he is located, to do any eX-
tensive letter writing, but promises in
the near future to send a long story
especially for publication, as that is
the only way he can hope to satisfy his
many friends who send papers. stamps,
etc, and who would of course like to
hear from him personally.
