Bright and CHEEKY the sun may rise
Over the morrOw's way.
Turning the rocks to nuggets OF gold.
Chasing the shadows away
Give yourself to its cheering power.
Gather its shining gold,
Store it away for a darker hour
When the sunny skies grow cold
One days burden thy hands may bear.
Nay tbs enough. dear heart,
Borrow not aught OF tomorrow's care;
Chee-iiy bear thy part.

With movements slow or fast,
One by one they will glide away
Into the sbadOwy past

II Paws to Advertise.

In Cincinnati the dealers are a
unit in saying: The holiday trade
beat all records" but it wasn't so in
Bellefontaine, for trade was slow,
with few exceptions. And from an
editors standpoint, it was due to the
small amount of advertising done by
dealers. When advertisers retrench
their business goes with it.

The Jewish Pale.

The Jewish Pale embraces Poland and several western provinces GS Russia. Here are imprisoned all Jews born on Russian soil who cannot afford to pay 1000 rubles a year for the privilege of doing business In Russia proper. But even those who have all their lives lived outside the Pale may any night awake to find their homes surrounded by SOL diers whose commands are to convert to the orthodox faith, or drive into ex- ile all Jews found within that city. So have the Jews been driven from Moscow and other large cities of Russia within late years, and soon they must leave Kiev, the ancient capital of the Jewish kingdom once established in southern Russia. Every year the limits of the Pale are narrowed, and the lot of the Jew within made more unbearable. He can no longer own farm lands, nor even live in villages. Many trades are forbidden him, and only five per cent. of the Jew ish children within the Pale may learn to read and write. Yet, even so, the Rus- sian peasant looks with longing toward the one prosperous portion of Russia the Pale. Here the Jew has built fac tories in the cities; while in the agricul- tural districts he drives from farm to farm, buying wheat from the peasants In open competition with his rivals Pearson's.

A GALLANT RESCUE.
New9Oundland Sailors Heroic Self. Sacrifice in Saving 8 Drown.
 imG Mate.

Not long ago, during gale on the Banks. Henry George, of the crew of the Newfoundland schooner Pioneer, was swept overheard by wave. A comrade, Joseph Mooney, grabbed a after him, relates Leslie's Monthly. Cumbered as he was with his soil- clothes and sea boots, Mooney first worked off his foot-gear and then his coat and swan for his chum. George was floating unconscious on the sur face of the water, having been thrown against the bulwark and hurt as he was flung over the side. After long struggle Mooney reached him and gripped him by the collar with one hand while with the other he held the frail plank in position between them Tn this perilous plight the two men remained for three hours, until the schooner was able to beat back to them. The sea was running mountain high and it was feared a dory would not live in it. To lessen the risk for the skiff and the men in the water, the schooner had to be run down almost sheer upon the latter and then a dory with two men in it was launched bod fly by mighty heave of the rest of the crew, and in the Hull" created under the sheltered lea of the craft, the rescue was soon accomplished. Mooney was at the last gasp. He had not only suffered the buffeting of the waves and the chill of the cold, but besides the effort of keeping his com rade on the plank he found that the board could not support both their weights. and consequently he had to swim himself most of the time He tainted when he was dragged into the boat, but his grip was so tight on his companions qollar that his fingers had to be pried open with a marlinspike.

In fact. it had already been suppressed in some districts and the porte would there 9oae immediately issue proclamattons announcing the resumption of the ap- placaticn of the reform scheme.

stone Horse coiInrx

Among the collections of the Smith sonian Institution, there are about 50 objects which have been puzzling arche- ologists for some time. They are cut from the hardest kind of granite and are about the size and shape of horse col lar. They were gathered up by an Ameri- ican merchant during tour of Cuba, Porto Rico. Jamaica and other islands of the group, but their purpose has never been determined. pr. J, Walter Fewkes, of the bureau of ethnology. has just re- turned to this country after tour of th 2 islands named, made for the sole purpose of endeavoring to determine the origin and use of the stone collars. He has gathered some data and thinks he may be able to throw some little light on the mysterious collars after he has gone over his notes carefully and systematically arranged them.

They do not count much on war between TuFkey and Bulgaria, but on the day they hear that the meeting between the czar and Emperor Joseph has not had the desired result for Macedonia the world will witness the beginning of massacres, burning and destruction compared with which the Turkish atrocities will seem child's play.

DRESDEN, Saxony, Sept. 2L-Herr Rebel has re-estabhshed his authority in the Socialist party by carrying his resolution against the Revisionists by several hundred votes against eleven dissentient voices and having elected an executive committee of his own choosing. It now looks as though the agitation against Herr Bebel before the convention met was encouraged by him in order that his absolute leadership of the party should be demonstrated and the small faction opposed to him held up to the ridicule of the party.
