Red Cross Seal Campaign at an End.

The Red Cross Seal campaign
throughout the state for 1911 is at
an end. The six thousand persons
who have been selling the seals have
counted pennies which have come in
and have reported to the Pennsylva-
MIA Society for the Prevention OF
tuberculosis the results of their
work.
William l.. Ninabuck wrote the
following parody on one of Kipling' S
poems in commemoration of the
close of last years sale:
" When our last Seal is disposed OF,
and the workers are weary and
tired;
When the millionth message is car
ried and the remnant heap has
been fired,
need it, lie down a whole night
or two
Till the Spirit of Human Kindness
shall set us to working anew.
And those that have bought shall be
happy, and those that have sold
beside,
To know that their million pennies
are stemming the White Plague
tide;
Are bringing and teaching the Life
code, nurses and sunshine and
air,
Assuring the dwellers of death
haunts that Hope is still young
and fair.
And no one shall wreak a havoc and
levy against the game,
Not when the curse of the plague
heart would point his eterna
shame!
But all for the Joy of working shall
move toward a far-hung star
For the health of Man as Man see:
it, for the God of things as they
are"

the repast and at the same time jokes
were playing lively part of the pro-
gram.
Russell Clark Of Ursinus College,
was toastmaster and proved himself
capable one as he introduced the
speakers with his jokes and respond
ed to their toasts with ready wit
The first toast on Our Boys" by
Alma Noble cracked several Jokes in
rhyme on the fellows present and
admitted that boys were not so bad
after all.
Spencer Noble responded with a
| toast to Our Girls" hitting off some
pretty pointed jokes and causing a
great deal of fun. Lille onearu
| gave toast to Our Sunday School
in which she drew a sketch of how
our Sunday school at Calkins has
grown and developed during the past
year or two, to the flourishing schoo
| that it now is. She praised, and did
| it justly, our untiring and faithful
! Sunday school superintendent, Carrie
! Clark, who has had the welfare oi
our school so much to heart. Roy
! Miller spoke on The Duties of Oul
Class" He believes that the strong
est duties of the members are to bC
true to their God, and their fellow
men and Ito do to others as they
would be done by but as Davic
Harum says DO it fust."
Glare Tegeler called attention t
Some Things That Will Benefit Ou
Glass This Next Year" He EN-
phasized the fact that their interes
must not come by spurts and thel
lag but be enduring, and he urgeC
upon the young people prompt ant
regular attendance at the class.
Miss Clark at this time spoke es
pecially to her class and thanked
them for the way they had stoot
by her the whole year and praised
them for their excellent work.
Leaving the tables at a late hour
games were ndulged in for a time
then the young people, outside CAV
their class yells loud and strong an,
the gathering broke up.
This class was organized a littl
less than year ago and since tha
time has steadily increased to it
present membership of twenty-five
At the time the class was organizes
not many of these fellows had allie
themselves with any church but dur
ing the Union Revival services her

stand for the Christian life.

NEW FARMER.

Mr.. and Mrs. Dudley Frisbee,
who were married just as we
went to press last week, have
returned after a pleasant honey
moon spent with her relatives in
Ohio. For the present, at least,
the happy couple will reside at
the home of the brides father,
one of our most successful
farmers. Mr.. Frisbee, who has
made an enviable record as a
barrister in our village, recently
has become interested in agri-
culture, and may determine
permanently to apply his efforts
in that direction. As further
proof of his new plans, we
notice there is for rent sign on
the groom's old Office above the
blacksmith shop.

Tuesday night. There was
light in a room a: the rear of
the building, whence laughing
voices emanated. The marshal
took position beneath win
dow, and there were noises that
created a belief in his mind that
finally he had discovered the he'll
hole. Lone handed, the marshal
raped at the back door, de-
handing that he be admitted.
He was accommodated, but was
agreeably disappointed to find
four of our most respected citi-
zens gathered at a table talking
politics, smoking and absorbing
cider. AS it was past midnight,
the party broke up after the
marshal had been treated to a
fbation and a good nickel cigar
The members of the party pro-
tested that they never had
handled a card in their lives
where there was money al
stake. Marshal Talbot is be.

BARNUM WAS RIGHT.
(Shemeld Times.l

tSheHeld Ttmes.)
A smooth individual arrived in this
town a few weeks ago, pretending to
be an agent for a large vinegar" firm,
and made 1t his business to solicit
number Of orders, not less than a gal
Ion being sold to each individual at 81
per. The aforesaid agent also carried
a sample bottle Of the vinegar in his
hip pocket, and gave each prospective
buyer sample. Each one who took a
drink from the bottle pronounced it the
best whisky they ever tasted, and fell
for the bait at once. During his short
stay he was loaded down with orders
for vinegar. Later on. when the small
packages began to arrive by express,
it was found that each person got what
he ordered-vinegar.
