NOTABLE DAYS OF The WEEK.

Jan. % is the, third Sunday after
Epiphany. Also honored for ST. Paul. the
apostle, whose conversion on this day is
Christianity, when Saul the persecuter
became Paul the apostle, and thenceforth
devoted all his energies to build up what
he had been destroying. He is the. patron
saint of London. The day is a favorite
time Of observation for weather prophets.
An old rhyme is:
IF st. Pauls day be fair and clear,
1t doth betide a. happy year.
This is also the anniversary of the birth
in 1859 Of Robert Burns, the national bard
of Scotland, whose day is celebrated by
Scottish societies.

It is good to be generous in small
things. They make up the greater part Of
life and produce almost all Of it's sor-
rows and joys. Almost anyone can af-
ford to be generous and open-hearted in
three things, at least-in geniality, sunny
heartedness and good nature. A smile
and CHEEKY word are worth more than
gold. Many men who now and then do
some generous big thing spoil the effect
of 1t and win little love because they are
close-handed and mean in small things.
The great trouble with most Of us is
not that we have too little in life. but
that we expect too much. The sure way
TO get nothing out of existence is to ex-
pect everything. A young woman COM

little happiness for her" Have you tried
putting some in now and then. and seeing
how much it will hold?" was the suggest
i've reply. Those who put nothing in. and
look for happiness to produce itself, are
1nevftably-and disappointed.
The world Is wide
In time and tide.
And God is guide;
Then, do not hurry.
That man is blest
Who does his best
And leaves the rest;
Then, do not worry.

JUST A pEWpRoP.

WHO am I? Just dewdrop,
Glittering, glistening on the roseleaf;
Yet I help to make Niagara,
Help to make the mightiest torrents
Just dewdrop, quickly passing,
Thing of beauty in the sunshine;
Yet. through me the desert blossoms,
Giving life where death was present.
Just dewdrop, hardly noticed,
Never counted as world force;
Yet l move the giant engine
Which without me were impotent.
Just dewdrop, not a diamond
Doomed to dry and die so shortly;
Yet help create the ocean,
On which man is but a feather
Just a dewdrop, gone by moontide,
Perished, vanished like a phantom;
Yet my soul is everlasting,
So l go to weightier duties
Type, OF souls to him VINO ponders
On the models of creation.
Though alone 1 can do nothing.
Merged with others I'm resistless.
So may you, the human atom,
Learn the logic of existence.

SUCCESSFUL EXERCISES.

Fourteen young ladies and nine
young gentlemen constituted the
senior class of the Bloomsbury High
School, which severed their con-
nection with the institution on
Thursday last when they received
their diplomas which marked
completion of their studies at
the school. The exercises took
place in the Opera House Thurs
day evening, and the program as
printed in our last issue was carried
out. There was present all audi
ence that tested the capacity of the
building.
The graduates together with
Principal L. P. Sterner and the
members of the School Board oc-
cupied seats upon the stage. which
was very artistically decorated with
potted plants and flowers. The class
colors predominated in the decora-
tons and the whole combined to
make an interesting picture.
There was not a weak spot on
the entire program and every one
did excellently. And now their
school days, or for some of them at
least are over and they will begin
the struggles of lite i'll earnest. The
lessons they have learned in the
school room will aid them in the
troubles and vicissitudes which will
confront them in the walk through
life. They have received good
start and the COLUMBIAN joins
with their many friends in hoping
that they may continue right. But
they must keep on, success will not
come without effort.
In this connection we present the
words of Sir Walter Raleigh, BE
stow thy youth so that thou maysl
have comfort to remember it, wher
it hath forsaken thee, and not sigh
and grieve at the account thereof
Whilst thou art young thon will
think it will never have an end; but
behold the longest day hath it:
evening and that thou shalt enjoy
it but once, that it never turn:
again; use it therefore as the spring
time, which soon departeth, ant
wherein thou oughtest to plant ant
SOW all provisions for long ant

Judges Unique Decision.

displayed Solomon-lke wisdom in
some of his decisions. Two men ap-
peared before him. One was a butch
er, who claimed that the defe.l .ldant
owed him $40 tor a meat bill. TIE
defendant, a striklngly thin and gault
figure, denied the bill Statements
and counter statements followed each
other with great rapidity. The lie
was passed, but the constable inter
vened.
"When was this meat purchased
which you sold the defendant ?" asked
the judge.
During the past four weeks, Your
Honor" declared the butcher.
"Then | decide this case in favor
of the defendant" remarked the judge,
deliberately, as he scrutinized the
emaciated figure before him. "His
appearance indicates that he has NOT
eaten $Io worth OF meat in his life.

R0BINs0N's CIRCUS PLBAsBs.
Gave Good Street Parade and Clean Per
formances.

The Robinson circus was attend
ed by thousands of people on Tues
day. The seating capacity of the
large tent was arranged for ten
thousand people, and at the after
noon performance all the space, with
the exception of few of the reserv-
ed seats, was occupied. A good
sized audience witnessed the even
ing performance, aud it is estimated
that over fifteen thousand people
saw the circus at the two perform
ances.
Owing to the big jump from Ia
maqua here, and the distance of the
show ground from the P. & r. rail-
road the parade did not start until
nearly twelve o'clock. 1t moved
over the principal streets of the
town and was witnessed by immense
crowds all along the line. The
showing was very pleasing one,
and there were many compliments.
The horses were particularly hand
some. The gilded dens were all
new, or nearly so, which added
much to the appearance of the
parade.
There were three rings and a
platform and there was something
doing all the time. There were
many plaudits for the slack wire
performers and the trained elephants
and everybody laughed at the COM
icalities Of the clowns. The best
feature of the circus, however. was
the trained seals. They did every
thing but talk, and seemed to under
stand everything that their trainer
said to them.
The biblical production of King
Soloman and the Queen Of Sheba
was given just before the regular
performance with we'll drilled cast.
The costumes were elaborate and
historically correct.
The much exploited loop the loop
was fake. The "black demon"
as he was termed did not use an
automobile as was advertised, but
truck. The feat is Of course at
tended with some danger, but it is
nothing more than what has been
done at the summer resorts for years
past. The act called forth only
feeble applause.
The menagerie was not large but
very nice collection of animals
was shown, and embraced speci'
mems from various parts of the
world. Two baby lions appeared
to attract the most attention. They
played and romped about the iror
barred enclosure like kittens.
Everything considered, the show
is big one, and compares very
favorably with Barnum & Baily.

exhibits of the Colonial days ever seen
in the country, to be shown at a Co

Some of the things money could
not buy. They are the heirlooms Of
old and distinguished families, and
are considered priceless.

Some Important Changes.

The following is synopsis of a
ruling of the United States Supreme
court in important cases regarding
newspaper subscriptions:
81. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary are
considered as wishing to renew their
subscription.
SO. If subscribers order the discon.
tinuance OF their periodical the pub
Usher may continue to send them un-
til all arrearages are paid.
"s. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their periodicals from the post
Office to which they are directed they
are responsible until they have settled
their bills and ordered the paper dis
continued.
"a. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publish
er, and the papers are sent to the
former address, subscribers are held
responsible.
"5. The courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from the
Office or removing and leaving them
uncalled for, is prima frcie evidence OF
intentional fraud.
"6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound 20 give notice at the
end of the time if they DO not wish
to continue taking it, otherwise
publisher is authorized to send it and
the subscriber be responsible until an
express notice, with payment of all
arrearages, is sent to the publisher.
81. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publisher can arres,
any one for fraud who takes a paper
and refuses TO pay for it. Under the
law the man who allows his subscrip
ton to run along for some time un
paid and then orders it discontinued
or, orders the postmaster to mark i,
refused and have postal card sent
notifying the publisher, leaves him
self liable to arrest and hnr, the same
| as for theft"

ANOTHER MURDER.
John SWatski, Dies at State
Hospital From a Knife
Wound.
Iohn SeeshOltz Arrested.

Crime is still being committed in
and about Centralia, despite the
efforts of the authorities to put q
stop to it. 1t has only been few
weeks since Levan was arrested,
charged with having struck the
blows which caused the death OF
James McAndrews, and II W
another, in all probability murder,
has been committed.
The latest victim is John Swatski
a young foreigner who was assault
ed on the road near Centralia early
in the morning Of Monday of last
week. He was stabbed three
times in the back, one OF the wounds
penetrating the left kidney, almost
cutting it in two.
He was removed to the State
Hospital at Fountain Springs,
where an operation was performed,
but the patient could not survive it,
and he died Friday night.
Before he died Swatski, it is
said. made statement, i'll which
he charged Seesholtz, with being
his murderer. He was unable to
give a very clear account of the
assault, but from what he said it
was gathered that he was return
ing home about three o'clock in the
morning, when he was held up by
three or four men who attempted
to rob him. He resisted and an
alteration followed, during which
he was stabbed.
Seesholtz was known to have
been with Swatski the night pre-
vious, which fact together with the
dying mans statement, turned the
finger of suspicion toward him, and
the authorities were soon on the
hunt. He was found on Sunday
by Constable Langdon, and taken
before Justice of the Peace Black
of Centralia for hearing. Three
witnesses appeared against, him and
while none Of them saw the crime
committed, yet they furnished sutfi-
cient evidence to warrant the
Justice in holding him, and he was
remanded to Jail to await the Sept
ember term of court.
There are one or two others who
are said to be implicated in the
crime, but they have thus far elud-
ed arrest.
Constable Langdon arrived in
Bloomsbury with the prisoner on
Monday.
The case against him is strong.
His knife, with which the mortal
wounds were inflicted is now in the
possession Of District Attorney Duy,
and will be used as evidence when
the trial comes up in September.
