The Salem scandal, allusion to which
was made several days ago by the ,rele-
gram; aias developed to i critical stage,
and is about as public as it could posi-.
Ply be in that town. 1t appears that a
poor but respectable woman, 80 tlie Tel.

ing 70 make an honest living by rent
Ing rooms. 1t is stated that she never
permitted women to De about her house
and the roomers were forbidden to have
female associates in or around the house.
For some unknown reason and without
tlle slightest Justification, busy.bodies
who posed as reformers and were loud

tlies opportunity with an eagerness thar
brought sweet revenge, and resulted in
the exposure OF one of the most sensa-
tional scandals that town has ever had.
As bns been stated, the principals in
the scandal are uailroad man und a
minister's wife. 1t is stated that the
wife of the rlflroad man happened to
run across letter WRITTEN to her nus
bond by his paramour, qna either show
ed zbhis letter to the woman THAT kept
roon,ers or told her its contents. This
was the beginning OF the town talk that
has taken place there the past few
weeks;
The story goes that the matter reach
ed The latter part of last week such an
acute stage that the rlilroader made Il
full confession to the minister. He even
returned all tIle letters the minister's
wife had written him, covering q period
of seven years. And he told the min
ister THAT the relations had existed for
that length of time.
The railroader's wife, ii is stated, said
she did not particularly care about the
matter, as she had received the utten.

that she makes. no hesitancy in giving

CANDY AND Nut SOCIAL.
Christian EndeavOrers Spend
Happy Evening.

The Christian Endeavor.society OF
the Presbyterian church assembled
themselves together at the residence
of their pastor, DR.. @. E. Lukens, last
evening.
Their purpose in gathering was to
develop n phase of the society's
objects, which, although very impor-
tant. is one of the minor principles of
their organization-to increase their
mutual acquaintance.
More than thirty of their members
and friends presented themselves, and
a very cordial reception was extern
ded them by the pastor and his wife.
The young lei had a two-fold
privilege-irst, in securing the COM
partnership of one or more of the fair
er sex, and also in bringing sufficient
candy and nuts for their enjoyment
during the evening.
Some of the features of amusement
included a display of talent in the art
of "drawing at first sight," many of
the results being very commendable.
The prize, a box of candy, was Sc
cured by Miss Bessie Peacock and
MI. Fl. Thorne, both parties possess
ing the natural art of division. The
reward gave them great satisfaction.
The Misses Wallace told fortunes.
If you were not lucky enough to pos
sess one already, these good ladies
had the ingenuity to manufacture one
to order. The fortunes they told
about remind us of the imaginary cas-
ties, we dreamed about in our child
hood days, and hope their frnition
will be just as dear.
There were other events and doings
which together contributed to an
evening of healthy fun and merri-
ment, and as the young folks left they
declared it to be one of the best c. E.
socials they had ever had.
We congratulate the Christian En-
doavcr society and wish them every
as they go forward with re-
newed zeal and enthusiasm in their
work sfor Christ and the Church."
and that they will become, to quote
from the society's objects, "more USE
full in the service of God" J..

AS Ann is old--as Mary was old
AS Ann will be-let's see-let's
see?

Now if Mary is only twenty-four
And Mary is twice as many more
AS Ann was once sometime be-
Or as Ann is nOw-or will be
when
Her birthday comes sometime
again?
Then how many years is Ann
today?
What was the problem? o, tell
us pray,
For our skull seems as thick as

And we're off the track again
once more.
If Mary is only a dozen and
twelve
How it makes us sweat and grunt
