The Observer.

There is no one who has not, at one
time or another tasted the bitterness
of Injuries received, and felt the wild
prompting OF the spirit of revenge.
The exercise of Christian patience and
forgiveness requires a strong effort
And the effort is abundantly worth
while, and if honestly put forth will
not fail of uccess.
Christian patience springs from an in
sightinto the spiritual nature and pos
sioilties of our fellow men. Even our
injurers have high spiritual possibili-
ties In doing us the wrong they have
forgotten their higher and better selves.
In wronging us they did greater wrong
to themselves. The higher nature
may be asleep in them; but if it were
to waken, it would cry out as loudly
against the wrongs committed as we
ourselves can do. Instead of seeking
to retaliate upon them in kind, we
should rather hope and patiently wait
for the Wakening of the better nature
within them. To have them come to a
better state of mind is the noblest and
truest satisfaction we can have. If only
we could look ahead five years or ten
years and could see in them-what
very possibly they will become-the
best and truest friends we shall then
possess; surely our present feeling of
Impatient resentment would quickly
vanish.
We need faith and we need hope; we
need insight and we need far sight.
We need to look into the inner posi-
billties of men; and to have visions of
what may be a better state of things
in the future.

Proposition to Bond th& ~ough.

| Editor Press:
The proposition to bond the Bor-
ough for the purpose of completing the
sewer system is certainly a worthy
project, inasmuch that the sanitary
conditions of the town require it. Hav-
ing heard the subject discussed, pro
and con, by several of our tax payers,
| have come to the conclusion that n
great number OF our people do not
understand that the old sewer bonds
were paid off last fall for which a tax
of three mills was levied, and the in.
creased indebtedness would only cause
the same levy of mills if the people
vote for the issue. Those who have
patiently waited ten years for sewer
and helped pay off the old bonds, now
feel the time has arrived; that they
are entitled to the same privilege of a
sewer. | feel l can safely say there is
not tax payer in our Borough who
can honestly claim he is one cent
poorer to-day than he was before these
bonds were issued Not having any
sewer in my locality, | feel it was
money we'll invested If the voters
vote down the issue, council can bor-
row two or three thousand dollars and
put in sewers haphazard, which. will
not meet with the public demand
Some few will have sewers, while
others J have none, consequently
the pro er way is to issue those bonds
and @ Gend them ten or fifteen years
then the whole town will be severed
and our tax payers will not not feel
the burden in the least. The sewer
system will then be completed as it
was originally intended. am aware
of the fact that some will not vote for
it, as they already have sewers. Such
an offense would be committing
crime against the safety of our Bor.
ough.
The accumulation of wealth would
be useless unless we conveyed its use
to the betterment of our conditions, as
well as the public and those who
come after us. What more worthy use
can it be put to than making the sani-
tary condition of our town safe from
epidemics, such as fever, diphtheria, etc.
Also from a. BUSINESS point it would
advance the value of our property,
both for sale or rent. Tenants now,
when renting houses, inquire the first
thing ''have you sewers" and
when you have, the consequent
ces are you get better tenant
with a larger rental, which will three
times pay your extra taxes. | must
say, however, that the majority of OBJ
jections come from those who pay from
three to five dollars taxes. In conclus.
ion | trust that our voters will stop
and think before they condemn this
worthy object.

School Report

The low percentage of attendance is explained
by the prevalence of contagious diseases on ac-
count of which many parents kept their children
from school, nnd also by the fact that this last
month included the holiday season. Consider
ing these drawbacks we think the record a salts
factory one. The High School aud Senior Gram
mar made records of over 65 per cent
The number of tardy pupils is excessively high
We ask parents to see that the pupils get started
in time. Lessons of promptness must be learned
now or nor at an. We want 10 cut this number

Ian of a Llterarv Eraud.

Occasionally some unappreciated genius
whose manuscripts have been found una
valuable by a long list of magazine ed
itors rises from his couch of thought and
notifies the public that ring exists,
and that outsiders have no chance with
their manuscripts, no matter how worthy
they may be Of consideration. Personally
have no sympathy with the complaints OF
these literary wayfarers, possibly because
l am neither an author nor a writer my
self; but that a certain amount OF really
good material is passed over and lost by
undiscerning editors can affirm from the
result Of an adventure which 1 will re-
late:
A nOn-literary friend and myself, after
some discussion of the subject in dues-
ton, decided upon a test-perhaps one
OF questionable proprieuy. but neverthe-
less a test. and a relentless one. One of
Kipling's most popular short stories was
selected. The environment OF the tale
was English. but as the story depended
little on local color the scene was easily
transferred to America An entire change
OF names OF characters was accomplished
after considerable mental effort Aside
from this, 1 give my word of honor, not
a paragraph. line. word or a punetu-
alton was changed. Upon being type
written it was sent 10 the following pub
fishers: Golfers Weekly. Harper's Month
ly, Scribner's, Ainslee's, Century Mum
sey's, Lippincotts, Metropolitan. Cosmo-
politan, Outing Magazine, McClures,
Frank Leslie's. Everybody's. Saturday
Evening Post, Smart Set, Broadway Mag
azine.
In the case OF each Of the above men
TONED publishers the story was returned
to us accompanied by a note in which the
editorial soul breathed forth its appre-
citation and regret, but nothing more.
Finally, to make the position OF the I'M
discerning publishers superlatively ri
diculous, the manuscript was forwarded
to Kipling's original publishers Of the
story. After an interval OF about seven
weeks we received a letter containing a
check and acceptance.
The check was returned by US. with the
explanation that the story was to be
amplified into a novel, and in due time we
received our manuscript back.
This experience is as true as the result
was preposterous. and is a complimentary
and a reflection on somebody's intellec-
tual pretensions-upon whose we will
leave ii for the public TO decide.-ILetter
