troops for Manila August 4. Those
ships have no record of having taken
him on board, or has the government

ANTIQUES.
What is to be will be- If true
Or false this is none ever knew.
What has been will be, this we
know;
Old as the earth are Joy and woe.
Each life repeateth line by line
An ancient, intricate design;
Its lightest smile, it's tear and sigh
Were wrought in aeons long gone by.
When love and Joy and anguish come,
AS something new they strike us
dumb.
Though as a part of the great plan
Are all not older far than man?
Can clay evade the power that binds
1t to the potter's wheel, and grinds
From the same stuff a vessel base
Or sculptured urn or stored vase?
When the great weaver's shuttle flies
Can crossing threads and mingling
dyes
Say, II will keep unto my own:
My hue and fabric stand alone?"

SAMPLED THE MASTERS CANE

LONDON, March IA well known
clergyman Of Wolverhampton, who is
chairman of the board of managers of
the local school, has adopted a prac-
teal method of testing the severity Of
the punishment inflicted on a pupil
whose parents complained to the board
that the headmaster had caned their
boy viciously. The clergyman went to
the school and asked the headmaster
to administer the same sort of whack-
ing to him so that he might Judge
whether the parents complaint was
justified.
The headmaster said the boy had six
strokes, three on each hand.
Very WELL" said the parson, smil-
ingly, II will take them"
In the presence of the assistant
teacher and the scholars he held out
his hand. The headmaster let go good
and hard. The clergyman lost his smile
at the second stroke and WINGED at
each succeeding one, to the intense
amusement of the boys, but he took
the lot, after which he hurriedly and
silently left to form his judgment.

THE APPROACHING TOWN ELEC-
TION

The following, taken from The
New berry Observer, sounds sLrik-
ingly like it might have been
written for Lancaster:
This town is coming close to
another election. There was
never time when it was more
important to put her best men
in office. Newberry deserves
he best, and there is no man
too good to be mayor or alder
man of this town.
1t is OF immense consequence
to the finances, the morals, the
enterprise and general welfare of
the town that she be represented
bYf representative men-men
who will be able to help in the
further development of the town
along right lines ; who will in
sist on obedience TO law, who
will put the right kind of officers
in charge of the peace and good
order OF the town; who will see
that the laws are respected and
ubeyed and the violators. white
and black, are punished.
1t is critical time in the his
tory OF Newberry, and our peo
pie need TO realize it and to wake
up to their true interest.
Lancaster, as is well known,
now has good men In office,
among them some Of the best
aud most prominent in the com
munity, but it is currently re-
ported that several OF the pres
ent officials will not stand for re-
election. However that may
be, il is not too soon for the
voters OF the town 10 begin to
think about the coming munich
pal election, which will be held
In December.
