THE MOON

OUR PILE OF DIRT

Those who were out to see the
phenomenon had splendid vitw
of the earth's satellite gradually
disappearing in the shadow that
steadily crept over its face. 1t
began a few minutes before -
Thursday night.
The moons eclipse was visible
in all parts of North America and
the western part of South Amerl-
ca. Its beginning could be seen
in all of South America, Western
Europe and Africa, and its end
was generally visible in Central
America, Northeastern Asia Aus
tralia.
The night was somewhat foggy,
but there were no clouds. The
moon rose in its full glory early in
the evening, and when beginning
TO course in the western sky the
earth's shadow overlook it. The
astronomers had reckoned that
the phenomenon would begin at
1920, but it surprised people by
being somewhat ahead of time, be.

then gradually grew larger until
an hour later, the entire moon wal

darkness until almost 3 o'clock
when the planet began to emerg'
out of the shadow, first showing I
faint streak of pale green light
and t h n gradually growing
brighter, until at 4 o'clock Frida,

1t was. of course, Il very foolish thing
to write letter of acceptance to tue
man one''intended TO refuse, and yet
Alint took Il childish delight in writing
the dainty little note and thinking Of
the expression that would come to Or
tons face IL he should read it.
Then she tucked it into the flap Of
her lap desk and on her last remaining
sheet composed the letter In which she
sought to make ler refusal as easy as
possible.
1t is no easy thing to make pen
say "no" when the heart cries yes"
and the rest of the party was ready to
start for the woods before she had com
pleted 1t.
or course she could not say that 1t
was her stepmother's order and that
ii was obedience to command and not
the answer of her heart. She could
only hope that he would see how the
matter stood and understand that she
had not been flirting with him through
those long weeks before Marquand and
his money had appeared upon the scene
and had been pleased to bestow his at
tentions upon her.
Until then Mrs. Appleton had regard
ed Jack Orton with favor. He had
money, not much, but enough for two
with excellent prospects, but he could
not hope to compete with Marquand
and Mrs. Appleton wondered why Alln'
should be so stubborn rs to continue
to care more for Orton.
There had been one scene after an
other, usually terminating in Mrs. APP
pletons Mysteries, and Mt last the girl
will had been broken down, and th
negative she could not utter was now
signed to paper and intrusted to Billy
who promised faithfully to take it t
Orton's room and place 1t on his table.
Billy was perfectly honest in his In
tentions. but just MS he was scamper

ing through the hall the cook called
that she had an apple turnover for him,
and. tucking the note in his pocket, he
turned his attention TO the turnover.
1t was perhaps an hour after that
that Orton, coming back from the post
office. found Billy on the front piazza
playing train. He was the conductor
and the other children were passengers.
Billy had Il punch used for progressive
euchre games and was collecting tick
cts with an enjoyment dashed only by
the fact that he had no engineer to
whom he could signal. Billy was su-
premely coutcmptuous of girls and de-
clined to allow either of his three fair
passengers to act in that capacity.
1t was with evident JOY that he hailed
OrtOn's advent and installed him in
the front chair with earnest injunctions
to run the train carefully and to stop
in case the emergency signal was given
on the bell rope. Billy had ridden
much on the branch line that summer,
and he had followed Burton, the signal
conductor, about until he had learned
all about his workings.
Jack Orton entered upon the perform
ance of his duties with a soemnity be-
coming in the engineer of the fiier. and
If he discovered an unheard of number
of cows upon the track it was all a
part of the game.
They pulled into the next stop seven
minutes ahead of the schedule. and
Billy came running up to compliment
his engineer.
"Tnke her n little slow when we pull
out" he commanded. with an odd little
! imitation of his models manner. "Tve
got train load of foolish women, and
they get scared when you run so fast.
Got your ordersY'
81 thought" laughed Orton, "that the
conductor got the orders"
Billy blushed apologetically. Guess
| forgot he explained. "Ill run over
to the telegraph Office
The telegraph office" was the near
est open window, but the operator was
shamefully supplied with stationery,
for Billy dug into pocket after pocket
without result. Then he spled Aline's
lap desk and darted toward it. There
was half sheet in the flap, and pres
emily he came toward Jack.
"Heres your orders" he said grave
ly. mine says, Clear track to Roberts

Fright" confirmed Jack. "All ready

Billy dashed down the line Of chairs

off the train and was strldlng through

precious feminine freight, and started

he demanded as he caught up with the
man. Orton started.

Orton laughed. Here's a whole lot

letters from his pocket. II need the

down the road.
The chestnut grove was only couple
Of miles away, and he was soon there.
He had not been invited to be one of
the party 1t was Mrs. Appleton's own
| party. and Orton had not been popu-
lar with that lady since the advent of
Marquand but he went in search of the
party with happy heart.
| He found Alne and Marquand apart
from the group. She flashed him one

dropped the lids ON them while tire red

greeting she had forgotten the note
and with recollection of the cold, form

ashamed to meet his glance.

Mrs. Appleton had drawn the Others
deeper into the woods. and he was jus

when OrtOn came up.
He was just contemplating the pos

Marquand looked at Aline for encOur

off to search for Mrs. Appleton.
Aline looked up with a frightened

FEW DIE
NONE RESIGN

Fat Jobs.
WILL STICK TO THE LAST
Pattison Will Have to Re-
move Old Relics.
WILL STICK TO THE LAST

The old adage, ga few die,
none ever resign has been APP
piled to politics for long time.
The present situation in Columbus
bids fair to again prove the truth
of the saying.
Governor Pattieon's inaugura-
tion took place nearly one month
ago. He was elected by the peo-
pie as man in every way worthy
to inaugurate and carry out GER
tain policies of which the state is
badly In need. 1t will be his duty
to keep faith with the people, and
there is no reason to suppose that
he will shirk the responsibility
which he has assumed.
From the large vote cast in fa-
vor of the Democratic candidate,
it is evident that the people had
become tired of Herrick and Her
rick's policies. Governor Herrick
stood for many of the things
which the people, by the election
of Pattison, condemned. He has
filed the official offices OF the
state with men of his party, whose
views were in accord with his
own. Most of these officials still
remain in office, altho they know
that the decision made at the polls
in November was a decision
against the man whose appointees
they are, yet they choose to stay
on in direct defiance of the peo-
ple's wishes.
When Governor Pattison recov
ers his health sufficiently to take
up the active duties Of his Office
he will be compelled to remove
these relics of former admins.

tive Offices may be filed by men OF
the party which the people voted
into power last November.

MOzart's Memory.

Mozart had memory for music and
for nothing else. On attending the
papal mass at the Sistine chapel he
was greatly impressed with the mu-
steal service and asked for copy, but
was told none could be given him, as
the music was not allowed to go out.
He went to the next service, listened
Rttentlvely, went away and wrote down
the whole from memory. When Don
Giovanni" was first performed, there
was not time to copy part for the
harpslchord, so Mozart conducted the
entire opera. about three hours long,
and played harpsichord accompanl-
ment to the songs and choruses with
out note OF music to assist his mem.

One of the most important of
the 1905 recommendations of the
Hooking Valley, which is only
waiting for executive approval to
be carried into effect, is the order
ing of four new parlor cars, to re-
place four of the six now in SER

The idea is to make over the old
parlor cars into day coaches and
ada them to the equipment, while

persons, should go into service in

Rev. Hillegas is Relieved

His Recovery Has Aston
iShed the World.

Allentown, Penn, February y.
Rev. G. S. Hilegras, of Zion
vile, the Mennonite minister who
says he was cured Of cancer by a
personal visitation of the Lord,
came to Allentown to-day in re-
sponse to numerous requests to tell
members of the church conference
how he was healed.
Rev. Mr.. Hillegras is pastor of
the oldest church Of the faith. He
will be AZ years old in September.
Mr.. Hillegras said it was while
he was serving the congregation
at Weisport that he was afflicted
with cancer. He was treated by
the late DR.. Delkam, a cancer
specialist, but his condition grew
worse. There we're AZ cancers in

on his lip, one over his left eye,
which was swollen shut, and there
were two on his temple.

The following statements are au-

Il Boston writer to the Irish World.
In 1898 Edward O'Brien printed in
New Haven his school Dictionary:

most improved dictionaries" which ex-
lists in two copies-the British Museum
copy (perfecD and the Yale College
Library copy Uacking ten pages). This
was the first dictionary by an Ameri-
can author published in this country. 1t
has no date, but is thought to have
been issued towards the end OF 1893.
Its author, who taught school in Gull
ford. was born there March 10, 1857,
and died there August 90, 1896. Soon
after its publication it's author and the
