Girl Born Blind Sees.

After twenty-three long, hard
working years of total blindness,
during which she struggled against
overwhelming odds to save enough
to pay for the operation that would
restore her sight, Miss Lottie Shell
don of Mount Pleasant, Mich, was
successfully operated upon recently
and for the first time in her life she
looked out upon the world.
No sooner had her eyes been open
ed than the girl began planning the
day when she could send her baby
brother, born blind like herself, to
the hospital, that he, too, might gain
the gift of sight.
The girl was born with congenital
cataracts covering the eyes. Her
parents were poor and she hoped
but little for the future, but she set
to work, scrubbing floors and doing
whatever she could under her handi-
cap to earn money.

Our primary election law provides
that leach elector shall have the
right to receive the ballot for which
he asks, provided that, if challeng-
ed, he shall be required to make
oath or affirmation that at the next
preceding general election at which
he voted for a majority of the candi-
dates of the party for whose ballot
he asks" The Constitution directs
that secrecy of the ballot be preserv-
ed. The Supreme Court of the
State of Washington has just decid-
ed that the provisions in the law of
that State which require voters to
disclose their party affiliation when
registering is unconstitutional. This
constitutional provision seems to be
an obstacle to any reasonable safe
guard to prevent the voters of one
party conspiring and cooperating
to name the candidates of the other
party.-Philadelphia Press.

Every growing ambitious town is
composed of three elements. Those
who work patriotically, vigorously
and intelligently for its advance
mont; those who are in a state Of
apathy or indifference, and those
who take a curious delight in dis
couraging the effort of others by
ridicule, and by persistent deniai
that any progress can or has been ac-
complished, and by boasts of every
other town besides their own. The
last class are called croakers, but
they are really something worse, for
their opposition does not arise simply
from dependency but from that un-
enviable spirit that will neither act
itself or suffer others to act.

=, If you would increase your hap
piness and prolong your life, forget
your neighbor's faults. Forget all
the slander you ever heard. Forget
the fau1t-finding, and only remember
the good points which make you
fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels of histories you may have
heard by accident, and which, if re-
peated, would seem thousand times
worse than they really are. Blot out,
as far as possible, all the disagree
ableness of life; they will come, but
will only grow larger when you re-
member them. Obliterate every
thing disagreeable from yesterday,
start out with clean sheet to-day,
and write upon it for sweet men,
orys sake only those things which
are lovely and lovable.

Paying Election Bets.

The Middletown Argus says that
the paying of election bets has COM
menced and some funny stunts are
being performed by the losers. The
man who promised to shave off his
moustache if his candidate was de-
feated is numerous and several
smooth shaven men were seen on the
streets to-day.
One well known resident of that
city who was so confident of AS
semblyman Evans election that he
promised his wife that if Mr.. Evans
was defeated he would not go down
town after supper again for six
months, will not be seen around his
accustomed haunts evenings for some
time to come.
Another man who bet on Assem-
blyman Evans will have to walk to
Goshen and back over the highway
some evening after o'clock while
the winner drives behind him in an
automobile and jollies him along.
Cupid is always busy around cleo
ton time trying to get in shot here
and there and this year was no ex-
ception to the rule, If reports are
correct. A young lady who was en-
gagged to be married and had set the
wedding day for some time in De-
cember, promised her f1ance that she
would marry him Immediately If
Gaynor was elected Mayor of New
York for she was confident that he
would not be. Gaynor was elected
and now the prospective bridegroom
is demanding the fulfllment of the
promise. The trousseau is not
ready and the girl has begged on but
the young man says the wedding
will take place in a very short time.
Two young men employed in a
we'll known establishment in that
city bet their whole weeks wages
with each other and one of them will
have to turn his pay envelope over
to the other Saturday night.

Bank Directors BANQUET

Last Thursday evening the direc-
tors of the Wayne County Savings
Bank were rendered a royal banquet
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
F. Suydam. At the close of the re-
past, the President of the Board
arose and said in part: I'VE meet
tonight not simply as directors but
as friends. We could say of mem
bers of our Board as Southern said
of his books: My never-failing
friends are they with whom l con-
verse day by day. We all hunger
not only for bread but for love. AS
this repast more than satisfies the
former, so the devotion of friends
satisfies the hunger of the heart.
We meet tonight not only for social
intercourse but to honor our friend,
Hon. A. T. Searle, who has been
promoted from being attorney of our
bank to the Presidency of our Courts.
Every step he ascends carries us and
the institution he has so faithfully
served to a higher plane" Mr..
Holmes than on behalf of the board
Of directors, as token of their re-
spect and love, presented Judge
Searle with a solid silver saucer, a
companion-piece to the silver pitcher
recently presented him by his asso-
ciates in Scranton.
Judge Searle thanked his friends
in feeling manner. He stated that
among the pleasantest hours of his
life were those with the directors of
our bank. Our board had no
drones on it-no one who had a
personal az to grind. Perfect har-
mony existed among its members
all were impelled by one purpose to
bring success to the institution they
had been called to serve.

What an inspiring sight to see a
20O-pound man with double bar
relied shotgun going out to kill
half pound game! If the meat was
really needed there would be some
use for it. But its the excitement
of the kill. There is much more
pleasure in hunting with a kodak.
No matter how hardened the hunter,
there cannot help but be feeling of
pity for the bloody little feathered
or furred animal as it is picked
up warm and lifeless or about to
die. A moment before it was one
of the most care-free and beautiful
creatures in the woods, and now the
hunter has taken from it what can
never be given back, its most price
less possession-life.

Postal Banks Must Wait.

A news dispatch from Washing
ton says: Postmaster General
Hitchcock has decided to postpone
the recommendation for postal saw
ings banks until the first session of
the Sixty-second Congress. His de-
termination is based on the theory
that by that time the financial laws
of the United States will have been
so revised that it will be possible to
incorporate the postal savings bank
as an internal part of the national
financial system. Another factor is
the imperative need of economy in
the postal service of the country.
The postal deficit for some years
has ranged between $9,000,000 and
100000 a year"

ALLEGED GRAFTERs DISMISSED.

Proceedings in WiIkeS.Rarre

Alderman Ricketts, Discharges De-
PENDANTS in Famous Court House
Proceedings in Wilkes-Barre.
All of the defendants in the Lu-
zerne county court house graft cases
were discharged at the hearing last
Thursday morning before Alderman
Ricketts,, of Wilks-Barre, on the
count relative to the furnishings of
OF the mahogany fixtures that were
to adorn the interior of the build
ing.
The case was dropped because of
lack of evidence tending to show
the existence of conspiracy as the
contracts were all made openly and
were approved by the court. The
other three charges against the ac-
cused, relative to the building of
the retaining wall, and other por-
tions of the building in which con-
tracts were let, will not be pressed.
The officials and others, however,
are still being held on four other
charges, two to defraud and two
misdemeanors. The parties involv-
ed included County Commissioners
Smith, McEvoy and Jones, Controll-
er Norris, Contractors Lynch and
Norris and Frank Carlucci.

HAwLEY INDUSTRY BURNED.
Mountain Spring Bottling Works De-
stroyed.


stroyed.
The Mountain Spring Bottling
Works, owned and operated by w. B.
Langan at the Eddy, and lying in
Pike county, were totally destroyed
by fire Monday evening, Nov. 8th,
about 8 o'clock. The flames were
under such headway when discovered
that all effort to stay them was use
less and unavailing. The establish
ment was also SO far from any hy-
drant that the fire department could
render no assistance.
The building was a two-story
structure, 40x40 feet on the ground.
1t was built about ten years ago, and
was finely equipped with machinery,
much of which had been designed
and made by Mr.. Langan. The bot
tling table, which was q novel and
highly useful contrivance for the
business, and which had been plan
ned and constructed by the proprie-
tor, was regarded by him as really
worth as much as all other facilities
together. Many valuable patterns,

is ever possible fully to reproduce,
were destroyed, as also a delivery
wagon standing on the second floor
which had just been renovated and
with shafts attached was ready for
business the next day.
The property with all appurten-
ances was valued at $4,000. An in
surance of $4,000 was carried in the
Knapp agency. Mr.. Langan will re-
build at once.
The fire is believed to have been
of incendiary origin. An attempt
we are informed, was made to burn
the building about a year ago by
some unknown parties. A boz
containing waste saturated with OF
and a partly burned candle were
found in the building at that time.

The Supreme Court has decided
that where a property owner has
been notified to repair the pavement
or sidewalk along his property or
has actual notice or knowledge Of
their condition and he neglects or
refuses to repair the same, such
owner is liable for all damages that
may result by reason of the defec-
tive and unsafe pavements. Furth-
ermore, Judge O'Connor, of Cam
bria county, has ruled that any pub
lie officer whose duty is to see that
highway is kept in good order,
that if such officer neglects his duty,
and that is responsible for damages,
