like drownin' now.
It's kind % woman-like, know, to let
the tears fall
But it's purity hard to check 'em when

turn an weep some more
Till the minglin' O. my laughter an:

AT flowed as free as cider, SO conveen-
emily at hand
IN as "sparklin' ef-fer-ves-sent" as
they say. You understand?
Settin' on the boxes an the barrels
round the fire,
When Blake 'ud quit his putterin
round an edge little higher,
Sayin' fore yer start a-cuttln' up yer
didos lem me say.
There's kag o. russell cider, boys, jes'
come in to-day"
Inen We'd zap Jhe cider meller, an
we'd sip an swig an sip her
Till we see ourselves reflected in the
bottom % the dipper.
Then a-passin' round terbacker we 'ud
circle as before
To the tune O. juice a-drappin' in the
sawdust on the floor.
Stokin' up the fire with hick'ry knot

The dancin' an a-prancin' o. the flames
'ud jes Undue
Us with sweet contentmenta as they'd
joyfully extend
Their rays to jine in hand-shake, like
an old an lovin' friend,
Then a-snugglin' little closer like, while
each prepared to tell
A yarn, er joke, er riddle calkerlated

LONG HILL.
THE NAMELESS CLuB.

THE NAMELESS CLUB
you 1olks that think Long Hill is SLOW
and way behind the times
just freshen up your memory and real
these printed lines,
For Trumbull, Botsford, Stepney, will
us they can't compare
They haven't got the push and 90 O.
maids like ours so fair.
And it will be short time when ir
this town I ween,
We can boast Of trolley cars and thing,
that's now unseen.
But what l want to tell you of the rea
son why write
Is a meeting of the fair sex that was
held the other night.
It's what they call the Nameless club
composed of ladies eight.
AS a leader OF society tits strictly up
to-date.
Last week theylheld a meeting up at
the old Town hall.
Which was finely decorated as for q
fancy ball.
Each lady brings gent along one week
in every four,
10 help them eat the good things, lust
that and nothing more.
BY 8 o'clock they all were assembled
In the hall
counted just eight couple but guess
hn
First they played a guessing game
and If remember right
Miss Edna French took first prize for
the guessing there that night.
Miss Florence Coe came second and
Miss Sadie Craft came third,
The boys they wasn't in it, they could
not guess the word.
But boys ain much use anyway and
as said before,
They only came to help them eat Just
that an nothing more.
l can't remember all the names Of who
were there that night,
SO l won't try to quote Them as it
would be hardly right.
But they say the sweetest girl of all
and for many miles around
Miss Candee, (oh how sweet the name)
just down from Stepney towr;
At playing whist took first prize while
Miss Gabler second came,
George Sweeney third, Mahoney fourth
twas an interesting game.
At 10 O'Clock came luncheon and it
was something great
There must have been among other
things full forty kinds of cake.
Miss Laura Hubbard took first prize
for the lightest angel cake,
The boys all voted instantly that she
could surely bake.
After luncheon came more games 20
hours were passed away
1t must have been near morning when
each went their homeward way.
10 say they all enjoyed the nsel 60
would be no more than right
For plans were made before they left
to meet some other night.

ish war taxes We're abolished and a
permanent census bureau established.
Increased pensions were granted TO
those who lost limbs in the service of
the United States and five new battle
ships were provided for. The Alaskan
treaty was also ratified and law en-
acted requiring automatic couplers on
railroads. Oleomargarine got a tad
rap also. Not SO many years ago the
party politicians made great howl
about the "Billion Dollar Congress, :"
but SO rapidly has our country ad-
vanced that now Congress appropriates
billion and half and it hardly makes
any one wink. So the world ways on.
Famine In In this land
Finland, Norway, of plenty it
Sweden and Lapland. seems hard
to imagine what famine is like and
vet the countries named are suffering
from lack of food to eat. The famine
was caused by the rains which ruined
the rye and oats and caused the pota-
toes, peas and beans to rot on the
ground. 1t is estimated that 100000
Films, 10000 Swedes and many Nor
wegians and Lapps are on the verge of
starvation. They are living on bark
Of trees and bread made from unripe
barley and rye. There was a famine
in 1867 when 100000 people are esti-
mated to have persisted. The Russian
government has already spent about
100000 in helping her subjects, and
the people of this country are helping
in famine fund. The "Christian
Herald" has been investigating the
subject and reports that last seasons
crop failures the most severe of any
time in half century.

The OUTLOOK.

The An Injunction which
Wabash was granted by Judge
Injunction. Elmer B. Adams of
the Circuit court Of the United States
in the Eastern district Of Missouri
against certain unions of workmen on
the Wabash railroad, is considered to
be an epoch making event in the in
dustrial history of this country. In it
Judge Adams enjoins the Brother
hood Of Railway Trainmen and Loco
motive Firemen from aiding in a strike
which might take place on the Wa
bash system. 1t is new turn in the
matter Of strikes in which the courts
enjoin the organizations of which the
employees are part from using their
powers to injure the business of the
company in which some of the mem
bers Of the organization are employed
There seems to be wide difference of
opinion among the legal fraternity as to
the right of the courts to grant such
an injunction. Yet it is an open ques.
ton whether if one set of men NAV set
about to destroy the business of rail-
road any man may not also just as
legally, set about to destroy the bust
ness OF a neighbor whom he does not
like.

ing the two years the property, both
church and parsonage, have teen
painted and repaired and all debts,
amounting to several hundred dollars,

pastor so soon expected. Mr. Vets, it
is understood, is invited to church in

American brains and money and cleo
trical power we must find way to &C
cOmplish it.
