Additional Mail Service.

Beginning Thursday of this week,
November 23rd, there will be a change
in the mail service on the Low Grade
Division of the P. r. r. by attaching
mail cars to train No. 10S, due here at
$50 a. M, and train No. 1l3, due here
at H. AZ a. m. The additional service
will not benefit Reynoldsville people
very much, as we have an early west
bound train that carries mail and there
is only about one hour difference in the
time of the eastbound noon trains. A
mail car east on the 6.39 a. m. train
would be better for the people of Reyn-
oldsville.

LET THE cuRFEw RING TONIGHT
A Poem with a Purpose Written for
The Star by "Uncle William.

Parents, do you e'er consider
When your boy Is on the streets
That for sin he Is a bidderY
That he with temptation meets
Do you ever pause to wonder,
How he'll 'scape the damaging blight
And be lost Unless you thunder
Let the curfew ring tonight
When the darkness spreads her mantle,
Satan laughs In iiendish glee,
Knowing that his emlssarles
Are rs busy us the bee,
Circulating 'mong the children
With temptations that delight,
Whirliug them to certain ruin.
Let the curfew ring tonight
Teach your boy the art OF scornng
Sin, where'er they chance TO meet,
Pause and heed this timely warning
Keep the boys from of the street.
Make your family circle pleasant,
Lead the boys In paths of light.
Then Will Joy be ever present.
Let the curfew ring tonight
Back OF screens In glittering splendor
Are the gilded dens OF vice,
Flashing lights, enhancing music,
The unwary to entice.
Gay apparelled men and women,
Hidden from the passing sight,
Pass the hours In ribold pleasure,
Let the curfew ring tonight !
After nght-fall stalks the devil
Seeking innocence TO blight,
They IT'S said whose deeds are evil
Love the darkness more than light,
Can you hope to keep these loved ones
Can you lead their steps Alright
II you do not guard them closely
Let the curfew ring tonight
What effect has godly teaching
Or an agOnzng prayer,
III you give but slight attention
To the children In your care.
Vice Is ever up and doing
Armed and ready for the fight,
Dragging wayward souls to ruin,
Let the curfew ring tonight
Christian parents heed the mandate
Written In Gods holy word,
Which instructs you "Teach the children
Admonltlon OF the Lord.
Make your home life so attractive
That they hail II with delight
And prefer II to vain pleasure.
Let the curfcw ring tonight
oh Ye solons OF our council,
Do not haggle at straw
For the welfare OF the children
Frame "A potent curfew law.
IL Will save full many n hcartache,
Make an hundred homes more bright
For those future men and women.
Let the curfew ring tonight
Sound the curfew bell at even
Get the children OIL the street
Vice appears In garb deceivlng,
Watching for unwary feet.
Many hearts now filed with sorrow
Have departed from the right,
Bitterly they dread the morrow.
Let the curfew ring tonight !
Would you hear the welcome plaudlt
When from cares of earth you're free
AS ye did unto these children
Ye have did It unto me.
Far across the crystal river,
Out of darkness into light,
You may rest in peace forever.
Let the curfew ring tonight

ago, when the favorite daughter of
King Edward VII. of England (then
Prince of Wales) became his be-
trothed bride. Princess Maud is
three years older than her husband,
the new King, who is only 33, hence
probabilities point to a long reign
for the couple. His full name, not
counting his brand new one be-
slowed upon him by his adopted
country, is Prince Christian Fred
eric Charles George Waldemar Axel
of Denmark. Husband and wife are
first cousins and King Christian Is
grandfather to both; but royalty has
matrimonial privileges-and handi-
caps---not vouchsafed by law or GUS
tom to ordinary mortals. King Ha-
kon is also the second son of the
Crown Prince of Denmark.
King Hakon holds a commission
as lieutenant in the Danish navy. He
Is likely to continue to hold it,
though now the sovereign OF n for

of a serious quarrel few years ago
between his grandfather and his
father-in-law, then Prince of Wales.
Desiring to be near his fayorite
daughter the Prince of Wales ar
ranged with the Danish court that
Prince Charles should transfer his
commission from the Danish to the
British navy and that the young
couple should take up their resi-
dence in London. Then, at the last
moment, old King Christian changed
his mind and vetoed the scheme
Had Charles become an Englishman
then he might have missed his pres
ent chance of becoming King of the

COST OF BILLIARD BALLS.
Owing To Scarcity OF Ivory Price
Doubled in One Year.

Every billiard player knows the
delicacy of the ivory ball. Every man
who owns his private table knows,
also, the great cost of these balls,
due TO the difficulty in securing the
ivory from which they are made
The product from which the best
balls are cut and polished Is found
only in the tusks of elephants, al
though ivory dentine Is obtained
from the tusks of the walrus as
well.
Because of the qualities essential
in a properly prepared billiard bali
the dentine found in the finest kind
of elephant tusks is the only Kind
that is used in their manufacture.
Owing to its scarcity the price OF
billiard balls has steadily increased,
those of the regulation size, 2%
inches, having advanced in price
from $3.50 to SIC in one year.
This increase in cost Is not due TO
trust in ivory or in ivory balls, as
the manufacturers themselves have
been as anxious as anyone to secure
some material which could be sub
stituted for ivory in the manufacture
OF good billiard balls.
The regulation ivory billiard ball
has, as billiard players know, great
susceptibility TO atmospheric condi-
tions. Sometimes the balls are
quick" and respond promptly to
English" and the slightest touch OF
the cue. At other times no amount
of skill can prevail upon them TO
work properly. When a set OF
ivory balls is moved from one place
to another the experienced billiardist
knows that they must not be un-
wrapped or taken out for three days
II they are exposed to the new at
mospheric conditions they ''catch
cold" and are likely to crack or chip
