Chairman Clayton then read a photo-

Williams to Darling. 1t said that Mr..
Williams was trying to get hold of culm
dump property owned by the Lehigh if
the railroad felt inclined to dispose of

came of the transaction because the
culm had been leased TO other persons

Goethe'S Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from BODIES
book on Goethe, appears in Paris
contemporary. In August, 1918, Goe-
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care of DR..
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Charles, his domestic, to
place a bottle of red wine and a glass
in each of the two windows in the
room.
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink a glass of wine.
When he had nearly emptied the bot
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah," said
Goethe, you are come. Do you know
it is my birthday" NO." said the
doctor, 'it is not your birthday. 1t
falls tomorrow"
Only the production of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When he
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and, after a long pause, turn
ing to the doctor, said: Then l have
got drunk for nothing"

Words Of Commentator.

Asubscriber to the Leader whose home
is in Texas, in renewing his subscrip-
tion. writes: 81 note with pleasure the
stand you have taken in regard to, and
the intelligent, courageous fight you are
making to do away with certain unsav-
DRY conditions in the home town. More
strength to your right arm. :"
The writer was resident of this city
until few months ago, and appreciates
the work the Leader is endeavoring to do
with the aid of few christian men and
women, and in this connection we might
add, if the ministers and members of all
the churches in this city were active in
working for moral decency and civic
Righteousness, Waterfowl would be re-
deemed in a very short time If the
Master should come, what would he find
in the spiritual life of our beautiful city
only death. except few earnest souls,
who are not saying with Cain: Gam
my brothers keeper"

The Lucky Number.

An amusing story concerning the
Greek naval lottery appears in Paris
journal. 1t seems that the tickets
were hawked about the Piraeus and
were eagerly purchased from the com
bined motive of patriotism and the ex-
element attendant upon gamble.
One day hawker stopped outside a
milk shop and, seeing an ass standing
by laden with eggs, cheese and but
ter, to tantalize the animal took one
of his tickets and gave it to the beast.
The poor beast was struggling with
it in the hope of extracting something
eatable, when grocer on the opposite
side of the way who had seen what
was happening, rushed across and res
cued the ticket THAT ticket" he
said to the hawker, twill win prize,
and I will buy it." He did so and the
ticket drew a prize of thirty thousand
francs.

Monthly Fair Day.

There was large crowd of farmers in
the city Tuesday, the monthly Fair Day.
There were the usual number of horse
buyers on hand, but the price of horse
flesh was so high that but few sales
were made. The other stock and farm
products found ready sale at fair
prices. One feature of the fair was
missing Gypsies with their bony
steeds which might answer for specifci-
tiOns for horse upon which to place
flesh. The wandering sons of Romany
have been in evidence at the monthly
fairs. especially when the weather would
permit, with their wives, children, dogs
and horses; all happy and contented, the
world owing them some kind of living
and they getting it without toll or
Worry.
