What strikes one locally with the greater
Significance is that every one Of the
three was comparatively young man,
little more than started on business
career, it may be said. They were all
men Of energy who had come up from
the ranks of workers in the granite in
dustry into businesses Of their own, and
all three were giving evidences Of ca
pacity to be captains Of industry on a
small scale. In fact, they were among
the leading manufacturers in the Barre

SO many men as during the past month,
referring to the death OF Joseph Nj

THE BASIS FOR
RESOLUTIONS

Edwin Markham in January Success
says that the noblest resolution that
any citizen could make for the New
Year would be the resolution to live
more faithfully by the Golden Rule,
that sublime principle of conduct for
this world and for all worlds. Failure
to live by this law causes the chief
SORROWS and collisions among men.
Let each earnest man search into his
words and ways, determined to find
the special manner in which he breaks
the Golden Law-his special habit
that works injustice or unhappiness in
his shop. his office. his home. his city.
He will find, perhaps, that in the shop
he is in the habit Of misp acing tools,
and this hinders the work of his COM
rades; that in the office he is in the
habit of being late in keeping appoint
ments and thus steals other peoples
time; that in the club he is in the
habit of belittling worthy competit-
ors, and thus joins the gang of thieves
who steal regulations; that in the
home he is in the habit of monopoliz-
ing the conversation, and thus fails to
draw out the powers of others that in
the city he is in the habit of splitting
on the sidewalk, and thus spoiIs the
comfort of his townsmen that in bust
ness he is in the habit of misrepresent-
ing his goods, and thus robs under the
cover of custom. These are problems
in the Golden Rule; and here are
ample space and verge for New Year
resolutions-space and range for build
ing character, character which is the
greatest thing in man.

FINISHES ERRAND
With BROKEN ARM

Mrs. Nelson Bird of Riverside,
seventy years of age, fell down and
broke her arm Saturday morning, but
the injury did not deter her from
walking over to town and doing her
weeks shopping.
Mrs. Bird carrying her basket reach
ed the Pennsy crossing on the south
side about 8 80 O'Clock. She was in
the act of walking over the tracks
when she slipped on the ice and fell,
breaking her right arm near the wrist.
The displacement of the bones was
quite noticeable. and the pain was ex-
cruciating; nevertheless the plucky
woman decided to proceed to Danville
and finish her errand. At Bells groc-
cry she was overcome with the pain
and the true condition of her arm was
discovered.
DR.. Patten was called to the store,
who discovered that both bones of the
right forearm were broken.
The physician at once set the fract-
ured bones, after which the woman
was taken to her home

The amount of detail wrought On

during the days of the Civil war

is the most striking and beautiful of

OLD YEAR HAS
RUN ITS COURSE

The old year has entered upon its
last day. and at midnight will dawn
the new yeaF-19O9. During the next
few weeks the wise business manager
will be laying plans for the work of
the incoming period. The old year
has left on the shelves and counters of
all merchants residue of stock, Ii is
not out-ofdate or shop worn or in any
respect the worse for the wear, But
it will become all those things il kept
ON hand for another season and for
that reason it would be better to get
rid of such property at once. Purchas.
ers have an equal interest in these
held over stocks if they know where
to look for what they want Goods
that are needed in the house are none
the worse because they might have
been regarded, week ago, as suitable
for Christmas gifts and are left over
from the holiday stocks They come
cheaper now, in all probability, be.
cause the merchant wants to clear his
shelves of goods suitable to another
season, and prefers to sell at sacrifice
rather than go to the trouble and ex-
pense OF packing things away to be
taken out again next year. The ad-
vertising columns of the local news
paper is the natural and logical instru.
ment for bringing the buyer and selle
of these articles together.

Injured in a Coasting Accident.

James, the six-year-old son OF Coun-
Gilman James P. Connolly, was injur-
ed in coasting accident Tuesday
morning,
The boy was coasting on an alley
north of Bloom street. He came down
the hill with considerable momentum
aud was in the act of crossing Ash
street just as a wagon came along.
He could not stop his sled; neither
could the man in the vehicle stop his
horse in time to avert collision.
The boy was thrown against the
front wheel and for moment it SEEM
ed that he would be run over. He
sustained bad abrasion on his face
and injuries about the back. The lit
tie fellow was removed to the home of
his father on A street.

TO REPEAL Two
CENP Rate LAW

One of the most important bills to
be introduced in the next session OF
the Legislature will be one providing
for the repeal of the two cent fare act.
The railroads of the State, which are
still forced to comply with this act,
have combined in a movement to
bring about the repeal of the act and
sentiment is reported so strong
throughout the State as to forecast the
repeal of the act without much op-
position. The Pennsylvania railroad
had the act declared unconstitutional,
but this decision affects that road
alone. Those who are supporting the
repeal bill say that the enforcement of
the measure has worked to the disad-
vantage and financial loss not only to
railroad interests, but to business in
communities where the smaller roads
have taken off many of the passenger
trains. 1t is also pointed ont that the
act has been declared unconstitutional
as regards the Pennsylvania system
proper and that the continued enforce
ment of the act makes it special leg
islation and that on its face makes the
law clearly unconstitutional. The
Reading road still adheres to the two
cent fare and the Northern Central,
which is really branch of the Penn
sylvania, also gives the two cent rate.
The case won bV the Pennsylvania
Railroad company which made the law
unconstitutional, was won by that
railroad alone and the ruling sffects
none of its tributaries.

ABOUT THE NEXT
CAPITOL CASE
HARRISBURG. Dec. 3


The next Capitol case to be heard is
known as the desk case and when it
comes to trial on April will attract
much attention. The indictment
charges that in furnishing 272 "speoi-
ally designed" desks to the State they
were billed at 366s4 feet and charged
under item "a, which covers painting
at 81. so per foot, although the prices
were those for furniture under item
% at $iS 40. The State does not raise
the question of the feet contained, but
asserts that the desks should have been
charged by the price of $40 so under
item 27. The bill was Sol, 94s. 90 and
the proper charge Is alleged to be 49,, =
$40. 80, thereby indicating a fraud of
$25, SIT. 30.

Women Who Wear Well.

II is astonishing how great q change &
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brilliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few yonng women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage Gnd
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesSes which too often come with mar.
riage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
of its freshness and the form of its
fairness.
