Through the frosty night the passersby
Leave shadows in the moonlight's GLOW.
All. dear; the years that have nown so swift.
Have brought their shadow and their light
Across our pathway like the SHOWS deep drift,
That clothes the earth tn white tonight.
But now Pickering lights and shadows play.
Around the old years lonely bier.
As the watchers wait for the dawn Of day,
That wlil usher In the swee. new year.
So bury deeply the shadowy cloud
That harEs over thy life like pail:
WEap II closely. Ia the old years shroud.
The heart-breaking trial, sorrow and all.
Smile gently. backward. on the Joys that were

DisCduragfng Ehlistments.

letter appeared in the Daily Elk.
aminer day or two ago, from A. NJ.
Armer, J. p. Gowns and Frank Pur-
cell, a committee Of the Central
Trades and Labor Council, asking
that the efforts to form a militia COM
pany here, be discouraged and aban-
doned, as the militia it Is said, is
used as an an instrument of oppres-
sion against labor.
Oar friends of the labor union
should be careful in endorsing such
position. Labor unions to succeed
must stand by that which is right
and just-not only to themselves, but
to all Others.
1t is not the intention of this COM
mittee to put themselves on the side
of lawlessness, but in opposing the
use of the military arm where rioters
and lawbreakers defy the civil pow
er, they simply place themselves on
record, as against the enforcement
of law.
Law is worth nothing as a protec-
tion to life or property, unless it is
enforced. Every man has the right
to damages if his property or person
has been damaged, and he can secure
damages in our courts. Bat when the
court, assesses your damages, 1t can
only collect them through the sheriff,
or constable or other civil officer. If
a collection Of lawless men, by force
resist these officers, and defy them,
then the military arm, or some other
power, by force of arms must enforce
the order of the court, or you cannot
secure your rights of life or proper
ty, or have any safety. Therefore,
when you strike at the militia, YOU
throw out encouragement to men to
defy the law. whenever they feel 1t
to their interest to do so-whether
they are right or not.
The militia are not called out in
Ohio, until the civil authorities have
been defied, and property and life are
endangered. The militia cannot be
ordered out, except by the Governor,
and the Governor is always careful,
very careful, to not call them out ur.
less it is an imperative necessity
When he feels that there is such
necessity. he must either call out the
militia, or let mob law have its way.
Mob law never succumbs to any pow
er but force, and it is blind and un.
just, and merciless. and cruel, and
society will not tolerate condition
of affairs where the military power
can not be called out to suppress it
A military despotism of the worst
sort woaid be welcomed by any couu.
Itry, rather than mob rule.
The thing to do, is to do justice
and condemn lawlessness, and joir
the militia and every other power
Ithat Is necessary to suppress lawless
mess and render safe the rights ant
property and life of every citizen.

A HOTEL FIJI E
In Which Mr.. Levi Thompson Suf-
ferS q Loss.

Mr. Levi Thompson, whois spending
the winter in Albuquerque, New
Mexico, had an exciting experience
last week. December % about seven
o'clock in the evening while the
guests of the hotel were at supper an
alarm of fire was raised. Mr., Tkomp-
son started at once TO his room.
The hall was so filed with smoke tnat
the first room he entered he soon
found was not his own. Rushing to
the next one, the smoke by this time
was so dense he feared to turn back.
nor could he see to save any of his
belongings. flushing to a window he
got out on the roof of a porch and
slid down pole to the ground. He
lost all of his belongings, including a
handsome leather trunk, two valises
and other articles of value.

DEATHS DOINCS.
Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins Dies
At Her Home In RuShsyl-
vdnid.

Mrs. Elizabeth Higgins, wife of ex-
County Commissioner Edward Hig-
gins, died at her home in Rushsyl-
vania, last Thursday of paralysis.
The funeral was held Saturday after
noon.
Elizabeth Pace was born January
18th, 1871. She united with the VI.
f. church while yet young in years
and maintained her faith in Christ
to the end of her life. In her last
sickness she expressed her readiness
to depart this life and be at peace
with her Savior.
She was married to Edward Hig-
gins, September is, 1866, and died
December 81, 1908, aged 80 years, II
months and Is days.
Hers was a quiet, uuobtrusive life
OF industry. She was largely instru.
mental in the achievement of the
financial success of herself and hus-
band. 1t was of such as she that
Solomon wrote. saying. "She will do
him good and not evil all the days of
her life" "She girdeth her loins
with strength and strengthened her
arms" "She looketh we'll to her
household and eateth not the bread
of idleness." Yet her life was not so
engrossed with care for herself and
husband, and the charge of their
home, as to make her forgetful of
broader duties. She had no children
of her own, but took into her home
and cared for as her own four or
phaned children who gladly remem-
her her and the home, and home
training in industry and virtue they
received from her. The numerous
young men and women who came In
to the the family as help almost with
out exception became the lifetime
friends of herself and family.
In her last, long continued sickness
her Christian fortitude and patience
were most manifests careful and
thoughtful OF those who ministered
to her wants. Cheerful under the
severest suffering, she drew many to
her in warm admiration who had
known her but indifferently before.
These friends "children arise up
and call her blessed;her husband also
aud he praiseth her, Many daugh-
tiers have done virtuously but thou
excellest thcm all"
