Contractor Campbell stated to
the News reporter, the first of
the week that the cast iron
water pipe with all the necessary
connections including all Us and
Y's were here on cars and
ready for distribution in the
water district, which would re-
quire only a few days time.

quire longer time to complete the

For Sunday Rest

1t is becoming a fact. not the
least of recent notable events,
in the action of some of the large
companies, the United steel com
pany and several large Railroad
companies and other corpora
tons are providing more general
Sunday rest for their employees.
The steel companies have order
ed their shops closed on Sunday
and the G & \ w Ry. has issued
an order limiting Sunday traffic
to passenger trains and freight
trains carrying perishable
freight.
This is a movement that ought
to become more general. The
laborer should have one day of
rest in seven. So far as pos
sible the rest day should be uni
form. 1t is a law of nature that
man must have one day of rest
in seven. 1t is a law which af-
fects mans physical nature.
To violate that law means physi-
cal deterioration and physical de-
terioration of the individual
means finally commercial and
industrial decay and eventually
National decay.

lahYers' WINS.

A remarkable specimen of lawyers
invalid will was that of Sir Joseph
Jeckyll, master of the rolls, who died
In 1873 and bequeathed his fortune
after his wlfes death to pay off the
national debt Sir Joseph was good

Mansfeld's comment, but his bequest.
was a very foolish one. He might as
well have attempted to stop the middle
arch of London bridge with his full
bottomed wig" The testator's patriotic
intentions were therefore treated as
proof of mental weakness. and his will
was promptly set aside. Among the
many laundering wills that lawyers
have made for their clients. II not for
themselves. the strangest on record
was that of a Dublin gentleman who
left all his money to the elder son OF
his brother and, If he had no elder
son. to the second.-London Chronicle.

a Peacemaker,

1t is a commonly accepted belief that
nothing short Of being pried loose will
induce a bulldog to give up his grip
on another dog or on an intruder, but
this is mistake. \ little household
ammonia poured on him as near his
nose as circumstances will allow will
make him let go Immediately. The
fumes of ammonia are so overpower-
ing that dog cannot possibly main
tain his grip and his breath at the

Raindrops.

Drops of rain vary in their size per-
haps from a twenty-dfth to a quarter
Of an inch In diameter. In parting
from the clouds they precipitate their
descent till the increasing resistance
opposed by the air becomes equal to
their weight, when they continue TO
fall with uniform velocity, This We
locity is therefore in a certain ratio
to the diameter Of the drops; hence
thunder and other showers in which
the drops are large pour down faster
than a drilling rain. y drop Of the
twenty-ffth part Of an inch in falling
through the air would. when it had
arrived at its uniform velocity. ac-
quire celebrity of only eleven and a
half feet per second. while one Of a
quarter of an inch would have We
locity OF thirty-three and n half feet.

Umbargsr School Program,

After many trials and tribu-
lations on account of the wealth
err, the Umbarger school had the
pleasure of presenting their in
teresting program on Monday
evening the 18th to a large. APP
preciative audience. 1t would
be difficult to say who was the
best on the program for it all
was good and rendered grandly.
We were well entertained the
evening through and enjoyed
the whole program.
1t is our judgement that the
most impressive and beautiful
number was the Flag Drill"
by six boys and six girls, all APP
propritely dressed in suitable
uniforms each carrying Unit
ed States flag; each keeping in
step while going through the fig
ures so beautifully.
The pantomime, Nearer My
God to Thee, which was render
ed by eight young ladies suitably
dressed in pantomime, using the
colors in pink, blue and white
robes, making graceful and ex-
pressive gestures to the soft
strains of music, joined by the
singing of an invisible QUARTET
was a scene not soon to be for
gotten and very impressive.
The little sunbonnet and over
all drill was as cute as could be
and it demonstrated clearly that
their teacher was all that could
be required to have the patience
to instruct and train them so
thoroughly.
The next number was very
numerous entitled. The Little
Man" which was spoken in Ger
man and made a very pleasing
impression.
\ word as to the teacher, Miss
Lancaster, who deserves much
credit and praise for the faithful
efforts put forth not only in
the school work, but also in Civ
ing the pupil such training as
will be very useful and helpful
to to them in after life, such as
training the scholar to be at ease
and free from embarrassment
when appearing in both public
and social world. And we can
not help feeling that the good
people of this community are
very grateful to her for the
good and efficient efforts she has
put forth to teach their children.
Miss Lancaster has taught con-
tinous terms of thirteen months
in the growing town of Umbar-
ger, and we heard nothing but
praises of her work, some ex-
pressed themselves as more
than pleased with her earnest
work there.
