Our pet institution, the business
drummer, has yet some tricks to learn,
and that, too, to keep the pace of the
slow Germans, according to the United
States consul general at Barcelona,
Spain, Julius G. Lay. Mr.. Lay says
that Spain is waking up and following
in the footsteps of her late c%onquerors
and is a grand field for u manufac-
turers to find a market. The Germans
know Spanish and have their advertis-
ing matter in correct language. They
carry samples and take trial orders,
giving two or three months credit.
American drummers depend upon in
terpreters and have their advertising in
English, carry no samples and exact
payment in advance. The result is
nearly always barren. Germany, Mr..
Lay says, sells all kinds Of steel manu-
features in Spain, from a locomotive
to a steel pen.

Death OF Leap Year.
Old Poem Adapted.

Oh, girls, they say that leap years gone.
can't believe it true;
I fear we've vested precious time
| know have, have you?
The fact is this-so many sweets
To Gull from dazes one,
And we're such modest, tender things,
So bashful every one
That when We ventured over-far,
Like roses in the sun,
With sweet words trembling on our lips,
And askings just begun
VIZ blushed, and tremhled, and looked
down,
And left one-half unsaid,
And auttered Oh, for very fright,
With all our sweets unshed.
So time has slipped away, and now,
Old Leap Years dead and gone,
Come, let's plant willows DER his grave,
And hang u harps upon;
Oh, dreadful, direfnl noughty-ive
No kind word for you we bore,
But we've a longing, lingering love
For dear old noughty-four.
And, laddies, are ye glad it's gone,
This harvest Of the fair?
No mor sweet-scented billet-deux
Shall frekyour etagere,
No pretty little batting now,
With hooks but thinly clad,
For blue eyed Will or black-eyed Phil,
Or any other lad
We know you'll miss US over-much-
Its lonely, you'll allow;
But we can't hep the fight of time,
Or turn il backward now.
There's something sweet we'd like to tell
You Fred, and Ned and Nate;
We aniot now-it IS to late;

The Union revival services which
will begin in the Bethel n. z. Church
next Monday evening are the first I'm
ion services ever held in PENIS Grove.
Religion enthusiasm las been on
the ebb the past two years III PENIS
Grove and a laxity in religious obliga-
tions has grown. Such is apt to occur
after large revivals as in recent years.
This united effort should turn the tide
The decrease IN attendance at Chpsch
services, especially by men, is beiJg dis
cussed in the daily press, especially
among pr~otestants, and tnis region Is
no exception. Various reasc-.s are
given.
While men recognize ne importance
of Christianity and tie Church by CIV
ing to1its support, many attend
services, nniess it be at a funeral.
Why9 We offer these reasons to those
given by others.
First, the lack of teaching the broad
fundamental principals of Christianity,
as the catechism to children. A thor
ough memory drill in the catechism
and distinct principals and obligations
to the Church win bear fruit in older
years.
Second, The persistent extolling of
profession by personal experience, to
the exclusion Of belief in doctrine and
quiet Christian living, whereby many
are un-churched by some pastor in the
pulpit.
Persons have grown up in the Sun
day Schools of this town who never
know there was such a thing as Church
catechism, nor confession of faith.
Others have left this strong Methodist
community and never knew why they
were Methodists and consequently
drifted to other churches o nc church.
Hundreds of dollars are spent for
picture lesson papers, a pretty card,
and papers with Bible stories on them.
while the catechisms, doctrines, con-
fessions offaith and rules of the Church
are rarely mentioned and not known by
ninetenths of the community.
Hundreds are swept into the Church
es by three or four weeks special efforts
in the winter, many by urgent appeals
under excitement. As soon as their
feryent feeling leaves and some infirmi-
ties are manifestation .infirmities
are not sins, altho called SO by some
many think they have lost their relig-
ion because they know nothing of the
fundamental principles of Christianity
and the confession of faith. Conse-
quently many loose all interest in the
Church, when they should still feel
their obligation through larger knowl-
edge of them, notwithstanding they
have erred.
Third. Some prefer to read the pre-
sent day happening in the Sunday Pa
pers rather than hear about the ancient
Jews. The application of moral and
religious principals todhe present day
duties and happenings is most needed
and should be most interesting.
The standard of perfection is none
too high, but why un-church and I'm.

DR.. Louis E. Foulks, a State Fish
and Game Warden, thinks the robin is
such a valuable insectifcrous bird that
it should not be killed because it eats. g
few cherries. 1t would be much better
for farmers to plant more cherry trees
so there would be enough for the birds
as well as the people.

The Coal Trust
COmmonar

COInWOneT
On December l the anthracite coal
trust gave the screws another turn and
the price of its product was hoisted
another 25 cents a ton. The anthracite
coal trust has merely taken advantage
of the peoples necessities, knowing full
well that there is nothing to hinder it
from so doing. Ithas a monopoly of the
market and experience has taught it
that it has nothing to fear from the
attorney generals department at Wash
lngton. The administration regards
the election as an endorsement of the
policy of non-interference and non-en-
fOrcement of the antitrust laws already
upon the statue books.
The situation is this. The coal trust
knows that it Can get the additional 25
centsa ton for it's product, so it in
creases the price. The people have to
have the coal. The trust adds nothing
to the wages of its miners, and the in
crease Of 25 cents per ton means an add
itional profit to the trust. There is no
competition in the anthracite coal busi
ness. The trust controls most of the
mines and all of the avenues of distrib-
ution. If the miners strike for a living
wage the trust magnates merely starve
the miners into submission and then
make the public pay the loss. If it de-
cides to meet the demands of the miners
it merely adds the increased wages to
the price the consumer must pay. When
it is not engaged in robbing the public,
and most OF the time it is deliberately
robbing both. 1t defes national and
state laws, knowing full we'll that it has
nothing to fear at Washington, and
nothing to fear from the authorities Of
the most corrupt state government in
the Union-Pennsylvania. Its insol-
n is colossal, it's opportunities i'm
menSe.
William r. Hearst has already pre-
sented to the legal department of the
of the government of the government evil
dence to convict the anthracite mine
owners of criminal conpiracy under the
Sherman antitrust law, but while the
people either freeze or SUBMIT to the
trusts extortions, the legal department
of the government moves leisurley
along without making any apparent
effort to be of service to it's employers
the people.

Our new Governor-elect Edward G.
Stokes, has given it out that he pro-
poses to have legislative economy dur
ing his administration. He was one of
the economizers some years ago when
reform struck the state and the only
thing hit was the newspaper publishers
who were deprived of printing thelaws.
If that line is followed expenses might
be saved by not having the laws printed
in pamphlet form, because the common
people are supposed to be wise enough
to know to obey the laws without hav-
ing to read them. If they don't know
they will learn after paying a penalty.
