 If there is one thing that warns the heart of President J. M.

The following letter which reached President Carmichael yesterday. was shown by him with pride: ~

GRIEVANCES ARE ADJUSTED
AND ALL ARE GOOD FRIENDS

It Is not the intention of the Labor
World to refer with unkindness to the
unfortunate mix-up that occurred on
the incline car last Friday evening. It
Is stale news now to give in detail.
There would be nothing gained by
giving any version of it except to salts
fy the morbid desire Of some people.
All of us, however, are glad that
so far as the people Of the Heights
are concerned the belligerents have
come to a manly understanding. There
was more Of the Christian spirit man.
ifested in the adjustment than is US
ually found in any community, and
this reflects credit on both parties.
Some men may go about with re-
wenge and malice In their hearts for
months and years, but in the end it
will avail them nothing. To do a
wrong is indeed human, but to ac-
knowledge the wrong and ask forgive
ness Is both manly and Christ-like.
Let the incident now be closed. Let
US have a kindljer feeling in our COM
munity. Let enmity and jealousy,
scandal and deceit among neighbors
be things Of the past. Let us all be
friends. To all Of you: There is our
right hand. Here is our heart" and
may we all enjoy the blessings of
social peace and contentment.

BRIEF AND SOCIAL NEWS
Volunteer Fire Company Has Smoker
and Then Holds Interesting 6usi-
ness Meeting.
Severa! New Members Are Admitted
Annual Election of Officers Next
Month.

The volunteer fire company gave a
smoke: at the fire hall Tuesday even
ing. There was a fairly large attend
ance. Cards were played, and cigars
and watermelons were served. After
this an interesting business session
was held.
The principal portion of the meet
ing was devoted to the discussion of
ways and means for promoting the
company. Secretary w. P. Pennell
made a strong and effective speech
in which he urged the members to
take a more active part in the work OF
the company. He reviewed at length
the obstacles that the company had
overcome, and hoped trct all citizens
would realize the Importance of main-
tanning the organization.
AS the annual election of officers
will occur at the next meeting which
will be held on September 26th, F. A.
Noble moved that each member Of the
company present keep talking the
meeting so that a good attendance
would be assured.
Some talk arose over making z rod
crate charge for renting the fire hall,
but action thereon was postponed for
one month. 1t created some lively dis
cussion however.
C. H. Merritt spoke of the good work
done by the company during its exist
ence and pledged his support. for the
future.
After adjournment a number Of the
members discussed the coming election
of officers. 1t was the concensus Of
opinion that as w. S. Butler Is the
regular paid fireman for the Heights,
and Is on duty all of the time that
he should be elected captain of the
company. Such a proposition will be
urged at the time Of the election.

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-American
bankers are. now prepared to float a
great Russian loan and it is said today
that, as matter Of fact, flnanciers in
this city have had the terms of a Rus
sian loan in mind for several months
past and the Russian government has
known that on the conclusion Of peace,
1t could raise money here. The exact
size Of the new loan is, of course, not
known, but some estimates place the
figures at 500, 900. 600. It was also said
that another Japanese loan will be
floated here. and as in the case Of Rus
sias borrowing. local bankers will for
the first time, take the initiative. No es-

SCANDAL.

BY Father Ryan.
A woman to the holy Father vents
confession Of sin was her intent.
ana SO her mlsdemeanors great and
She faithfully rehearsed them all. =.
And, chiefest in her catalogue Of sin,
She owned that she a tate bearer had
And borne a bit of scandal up and down
To all the long tonsued gosslps in the
town.
The Holy Father for her other sin
Granted the absolution asked of him.
But, While for all the rest he pardon
He told her this offense was very grave.
And that to do tit pennace she must go
Out by the wayside where the thistles
And gather the largest, ripest one.
Scatter the seeds and that when this was
done.
To tell him his commands she did obey.
The woman thinking this pennace light
fastened to do his VIII that very night
Feeling right glad she had escaped so
Next day but one, she went the priest
The priest sat still and heard her story
lhro'.
And said There's something more for
you to do.
Those little seeds which you have sown
I bid you to regather, every one.'
The woman said: But, Father, 'twould
be in vain,
TO try. to gather up those seeds again.
The winds have scattered them both far
and wide
Ger the meadow, vale and mountain
Side."
The Fat Father err. answered: Now, I hope
The lesson I have taught you will not
miss.
You cannot gather back the scattered
seeds.
Which far and wide will grow to nox-
ious weeds, .
Nor can the mischief once by scandal
SOWn
By any pennace be again undone."
