UNCLE "SAM" SAYS 9O3.

Ye,,r old Uncle" says we only
got sos people living within the con-
fines of the corporate limits of Thur
mont, whereas, in 1901 we are re-
ported to have had 1858, showing a
net gain of but 35; Middletown fares
about the same and shows gain OF
but 81; while our.sister north ofns-
neutrality-suspicious. gain OF 2O5.
We don't want to be doubter, but
that does seem little strange, when
our town, we believe, has shown
more houses built in the last ten
years than Emmitsburg, with no va
cancies, except one or two, yet the
gain is rather phenomenal, and it
might be that some of the Sisters"
may have been inadvertently includ-
ed; however, we extend congratula-
tions and will try and do a little
"fying' the next year or two and
catch up. We believe we can hear a
'flapping of some wings" and a
Grow" or two from Brother Gait;
anyhow our hat is eff.
While this is true with reference
to the two towns referred to, yet in
the districts, Emmitsburg as town
gainrd, and in the districts she lost
374, while Mechanicstown district
lost but "a.
The whole census situation in the
County is queer when studied. Take
for instance Brunswick which gained
about 1900, and Frederick with a
gain of about 100, yet the whole
county gained but 1888, and the above
gains does not include such towns as
Emmitsburg, Mt. Airy, Walkers
vile, etc. 1t is interesting to make
a study of these figures.

Prof. H. D. Beachley, principal of the

and has secured for the school team, pew
uniforms of very handsome design and
also all equipment necessary, and will
personally manage the club.
The team so far has had but little prac-

April.
The air is soft and balmy,
The grass is growing green,
The maple buds are swelling,
Till the slender threads are seen.
The brown brook chatters gayly
It's ripping course along,
And hark!-from distant tree-tOp
hear the bluebird's song.
o joyous, gladstone carol,
Exultant, fearless, true!
There is hidden heavenly essage
Meath that coat of heavenly blue.
NV heart thrills as listen;
Gods love is sure and strong,
Thank Him for life's awakening!
Praise for the bluebird's song.
After the winter, springtime.
The sunshine follows rain;
Tho grief and sorrow chill US,
The heart grows warm again.
From earth to His glad heaven
God will His loved ones bring;
Still, after frosts and snowdrifts,
We hear the bluebirds sing

The Plant.
In my little garden bed,
Raked SO nicely over,
First the tiny seed | SOW,
Then with soft earth cover.
Shining down the great round sun
Smiles upon 1t often;
Little rain drops, pattering down,
Help the seeds to soften.
Then the little plant awakes!
Down the roots grow creeping;
Up it lifts its little head,
Through the brown earth peeping.
High and higher still it grows
Through the sunny hours,
Till some happy day the buds
Open into flowers.

Robins call robins in tops of trees;
Doves follow doves with scarlet feet;
Frolicking babies, sweeter than these,
Crowd green corners where highways
meet.
Violets stir and arbutus wakes,
Claytonia s rosy bells unfold;
Dandelion through the meadow makes
A royal road, with seals Of gold.
Golden and snowy and red the flowers,
Golden, snow and red in vain;
Robins call robins through the showers,
The white doves feet are wet with rain.

April weeps while these are 50 gay
Weeps like tired child who had
Playing with flowers, lost its way.
