Seems to me that l read an old
adage once which went ,omething like
this; Sweep before your own door"
l think I did. Any how it is a pretty
good one. Now, I was just thinking
the other day what a great day 1t
would be for Newberry, in appearance,
if every one would just sweep before
his own door literally. I suppose the
adage referred to fgurative sweeping.
This suggestion came from walking
down street the other DAY and observ-
ing some of the paved sidewalks which
had been swept off. Wonder if we
could not induce the citizens to put
this adage into real and actual force.
Just try it once and see how you would
be pleased with it. Walk down street
any Sunday morning and see what a
dirty looking place it is, and look at
some of the sidewalks that have been
swept. How would it do for council to
pass mild ordinance requiring every
property owner, alongside whose prem
ises there is a paved sidewalk, to
sweep said sidewalk before 9 o'clock
every morning. 1t would not be much
of hardship, and then we are in the
habit now of regulating everything by
legislation and this would be along the
line of civic righteousness. Suppose
you try it, and see how it would oper-
ate.

Speaking about sweeping, that is a
faithful sweeper who wields the broom
: on the paved street in front of the
Newberry hotel, and when he gets out
there on a balmy afternoon, when the
! ladies and others are promenading in
their evening dress, and raises a cloud
Of dust and germs it certainly should
be conducive to comfort and health.
I noticed only the other afternoon that
a beautiful-that is my favorite word,
and hope you will pardon It's use in
this connection-a beautiful cloud of
: dust arose and wended its way to the
sidewalk just as a beyy of beautiful
young girls dressed in white were
passing. l am sure it was refreshing
as 1.-THE dust-and germs-found its
there now 1 am mixed again-welI,
the dust and the germs found their
way on the white muslins and into the
nostrils of the pedestrians. 1 am
afraid l got my metophor mixed, as
I am not much on metapnors-I think
that's the word. Well you know what
l am talking about-that dust and
germs and filth that is swept up into
your very face. And he wields that
brush regardless. Wonder if there is
no modern mean more modern
way of cleaning the street. reckon
when we get all that other paving
tthat is to come soon We will have more
general distribution of the dust and
germs and they will not be swept into
the nostrils of pedestrians. I am not
criticizing the sweeper, because if he
swept only when there was no one
passing he would not sweep at all.
But it is awful, especially when the
wind is blowing.

The hymn of the wounded, the beaten,
who died overwhelmed in the
strife;
Not the jubilant song of the victors,

Of nations was lifted in chorus, whose

But the hymn of the low and the hum

heart,
Who strove and who failed, acting
bravely silent and desperate

Whose youth bore no flower on its
branches, whose hopes burned
in ashes away,
From whose hands slipped the prize
they had grasped at, who stood
at the dying of day
With the wreck of their life all around
them, unpitied, unheeded, alone,
With death swooping down DER their
failure, and all but their faith

While the voice of the world shouts its
chorus; its paean for those who

While the trumpet is sounding trium-

I'm a few hour Caesar had seen his
vineyard and olive grove damaged be-
yond hope OF reparation in his own
lifetime. From a wealthy man he had
become poor.
Although he did not notice IL.
Maria's affection had cooled percept-
IDLY from the moment when She re-
allied that her lover was now no rich
er than his fellows.
Zabetta was gloomily preparing to
flee from her home at the coming of
the lava. To her whether she ESCAPED
or not mattered very little. The cata-
clysm without found responsive echo
in her heart, fiery scorched and blast
ed.
With a small bundle of her belong
ings Ahe was hurrying along the
street amid the ashes and falling
stones, when pale-faced, shrieking
figure rushed past her.

she was alone with her hated rival.
In that fearful semi-midnight who
would know If she slew Maria?
Where is Caesar?' grimly Ques-
uoned Zabetta. Maria covered away.
/ left him at his house a little
while ago. The lava was coming. AS
ne entered TO get bundle, the walls
fell and buried him l dared not 90 in.
He is dead"
Coward" Missed Zabetta. Dropping
her load she gave the shrinking girl
push that FASTENED her flight, then
new back through the gloom along
the well-known way that led to
caesars house. Why she went. she
dld not know. Caesar was dead to
her, so her heart whispered. Yet in
sunct told her to hasten back.
Soon she saw the ruined house.
Only Il few rods away a red stream
was rolling slowly down the street.
she entered the lettering walls, and
beheld a prone figure partly buried
under the fallen stones.
The peril Of her former lover made
Aabetta forgetful of her own danger.
and of the fact that he was the be-
trothed of another woman. Madly she
tore with bleeding fingers at the de-
Drls that covered him. She tugged at
the wreckage until she had cleared
away everything but a heavy block
that pressed down the little finger of
his right hand. This block resisted
Zabetta's utmost efforts.
1t was growing hotter and hotter
A few minutes more and the lava
would engulf the house Death would
be the portion OF any living thing
therein. Zabetta drew her tiny dag
ger.
AT that instant Caesar returned TO
consciousness. Seeing her bending
over him, knife in hand, he gave a
cry OF terror and appeal, and swoon-
ed again just as the blade descended.
II severed his crushed finger at the
second Joint and he was free.
With mans strength Zabetta lifted
the insensible Caesar in her arms and
earned him out into the street
through the showers of ashes she
staggered with her burden. She had
not gotten so feet from the door when
the lava boiled against the walls. and
the whole house fell in ruins.
SO Zabetta kept her VOW, sworn on
the crucifix of the little dagger. that II
Should drink the blood of either
caesar or Maria. And it was probably
the first instance on record where the
fulfillment of n Gemellas blood-oath
resulted in a marriage.
