The Beautiful Snow!
By Uncle Ephraim

! BY Uncle Ephralm
Oh the snow The beautiful snow!
| That blocks the highways when it hap
pens to blow,
| Causing mail carriers to grumble ano
| swear,
Making it tough for the doctors to get
anywhere.
Drifting,
Sitting,
Flying along
AS though it could never do anything
wrong,
Burying the fences and loading the trees,
Filling our faces in every smart breeze,
Making us think as we look everywhere
That we surely of snow have enough and
to spare.
Beautiful snowl so white and so deep!
That keeps steadily falling while we are
asleep
And we think as we look abroad in the
morn
IT'S the toughest old winter seen since
we were born
Longer,
Colder,
More dreary than all;
While some weather prophets were say
ing last fall
That the winter wasn't going to be very
severe
For the squirrels no stores had laid up
for this year.
But if it keeps coming this way we GER
tainly know
We shall not be lacking for Beautiful
Snow!
Oh the snowl The abundance of snow
That is heaped all around us wherever
we go,
1t covers the mountains that tower toward
the sky
And throughout the valleys white snow
meets the eye
Burying,
Hiding,
Covering all
The face of the earth with it's white
fleecy pail.
Hiding from view every green fertile
field
And the streams that with ice so secure
ly are sealed,
Until sometimes we think that an era i,
When winter will last pretty much all
the year.
But prehaps after all, this mantle of
snow
Is for some good purpose Cat least we
hope SOY
But while we chilled mortals this horrid
cold weather
Around good fire sit huddled together
Fleeing,
SneeZing,
Shiveriug with cold
That chills the New Year, and has froze
out the Old,
We sincerely hope it will not always last
That il soon will be numbered with
things that are past,
For the longer we live and the older we
grow,
The less we're in love with The Beauti-
full Snow.

About Town Meeting

Town meeting next week and very
little said about the "fitness'' of this OF
that one for office. Funny, isn't it But
then there'll be something dom when
the day arrives-judging from other meet
iugs. Town expenses are growing great
er each year and economy should be the
watchwold. With this in view the best
men possible should be selected for Office
hot this or that man because she is a
good fellow" or lives in certain part of
the town. Locality should have no con-
sideration whatever, but the man should.
Best men and low expenses should be
the watchword.
For Moderator. Well, there are lot
who would like the "honor'' of that posi-
tion.
For Clerk, Noyes Wood has held the
office many years and will in all probable
ity be reelected.
For Selectman, Will Davis three years
are up and he don't want the job any
longer. Don McAllister would be good
man for the place so would Oscar Camp
bell or Leo Baker.
For Lister to fill the vacancy caused by
the removal from town of Arthur Perry
the name of Adolph Collins, a former
Lister is suggested. He knows the bust
ness and is good man. The same can
be said about John Grey and Ned Moves.
For Road Commissioner, besides the
present incumbent, James Jewett, the
hames of Edgar Pratt, John FinRegan
and B. A. Grimes are mentioned.
For School Director Rollie Crocker's
term expires. Besides his name there is
Rev. j. E. Bowman, WHO would make
good officer. Why not, says one, put a
woman on the board ? Why not ? There |
are so many good women in town well |

ton. Nevertheless, this is very nice |
job, pays well and no doubt some others !
would like it, Then again, there are
those who say the treasurership and
clerkship should go to the same person.
For Overseer of Poor, Albert Whit
comb, who has held the office several
years, would probably take reelection.
He has kept expenses down, perhaps as
well anybody could under the circum-
stances. 1t is said that F. B. Crowell,
who ran against him last year, will again
be presented by his friends. Then there
are the names of W. G. Maxfeld and ].
T. Stevens.
The present board of Auditors are not
seeking reelection. This is the only office
where ''the Office seeks the man." and i
so the town will probably say ''be not
weary in well doing'-at about thirty
cents a ddy-and retain the old board.
For other offices there will be little or
no contest.

men suggest $500 on the dollar. Read !

HAVE HIT THE DEVIL HARD
BY James M. SITTER. d. d.


Suppose your grandfather or great
grandfather died in the year 1876,
what were some of the things that you
have seen that he never saw? Auto
mobiles and trolley-cars? Yes, the
only street traffic that he saw was
horse-cars, and when he went driving
good trotter was his best motive
power. He never rode up thirty
story office-building in an elevator be-
cause there was no such building and
no elevator. He never rang up on a
telephone and talked with a man 500
miles away, nor turned on the lights of
whole house with one twist of but
ton. He never saw gifts to education
amounting to more than 10000, 900
In one year. He never mought a twen-
toy-four-page newspaper with infor-
nation gathered from all around the
world, for one cent There are more
remarkable things than these that he
never saw. He never saw the sale of
liquor prohibited in one-half the terri
tory over which the Stars and Stripes
fly. He never saw many scores of the
finest educated university men and
women of the land going out as for
elgn missionaries every year. He
never saw great Christian schools, hos
pitfalls, and churches in China and In
dla. lie never saw a great social set
tlement like Hull House in, Chicago.
The good things that have come to
pass since 1875 are too many to count,
and they have hit the Devil pretty
hard. The good work began a long
time ago, when Jesus started the first
missionary enterprise.-Sunday School

AS TO TRUSTS AND COMBINATIONS
New York Sunl

Senator Hoars opinion, given on
April %, 1891, was produced, yellow
with age, at one Of the hearings last
summer in the Steel suit The object
of it's production was, of course, to
throw light upon the bona fides which
actuated these pooling arrangements
in the steel and wire trade
Senator Hoar answered his clients
emphatically that the agreements were
perfectly legal. He based his opinion
on a long series of decisions in this
country and in English courts holding
that such agreements constituted no
restraint of trade, and looked forward
to the saving of property from destruc-
tive competition, the protection of
property rather than anything else. A
manufacturer was entitled to have be-
fore him the prospect of reasonable
permanence in his business, and if any
business had become wasted and dis
organized by cutthroat competition. as
the steel and wire trade previously had
been, 1t was not only perfectly proper
but highly praiseworthy for the manu-
facturers to make the agreements in
question. Senator Hoar pointed out
that there was no distinction in princi-
pie between contract of workingmeil
not to work for less than a stipulated
sum in wages and a contract of en-
ployers not to sell their products for
less than stipulated sum. Both of
these contracts were for the legitimate
protection of those making them and
they were not contracts for any un-
lawful or oppressive design.
All this seems pretty straight COM
mon sense to-day, and there is no ques-
tion that 1t represented the view both
of the courts and the lawyers of the
country at the time Senator Uoar
wrote.

THE LITERACY TEST

r the trainers of the new immigra-
ton bill have their way no immi-
grant will be admitted to the
United States who cannot read
and write.
OF all nonsensical immigration
measures proposed this is the limit.
So long as a man keeps out of Jail
In the country from which he comes,
there is to be no bar to his residence
in this country. If he is able to scrawl
a few lines across a sheet and to stag
ger through few sentences from the
page of book he shall be qualified
for entry and eventual citizenship.
The literacy test involves absolutely
no virtue as a solvent of the economi-
cal problems involved in the subject
of immigration. The clause as framed
in the present bill is impracticable,
unjust in its operation and would in
volve the creation of additional DO
litical places in connection with the
immigration service. This latter was
one of the reasons why President Taft
vetoed a similar measure and it is
probably one of the reasons why job
hungry Democrats are champion
ing it.
1t may not have occurred to those
in charge of the bill that by this test
they would bar from the country the
very class of immigrants we most
need. Our present-day conditions do
not demand educated immigrants. We
have plenty of our own people to fill
the offices and to provide practically
all of the skilled labor required. But
we do stand in serious need of the
European peasant, used to hard man
ual labor and willing to begin at the
bottom here in order that his children
shall have the opportunities for ad-
vancement that only America offers.

father. 30 were many of that numer.

The occupants did not pause in Har-

most of the daylight hours. The car

In many instances replace the rum
about and roadster of to-day. The
car is popular in England, where it
originated, but comparatively few of
them are in use in this country.
The suburban street cars are joys
to behold these days. Every evening
they abound with poultry and garden
catalogus in the hands of eagerly
perusing enthusiasts. Scarcely a man
among the readers pauses to consider
that the winter is little more than
half spent They are entertaining WIS.,
ions of blooming gardens and f1ocks of
downey chicks. Both poultrymen
and seedmen say that Harrisburg has
more chicken raisers and gardeners
than almost any city of it's size in the
country. Real estate men with subur-
ban properties to rent or sell say that
among the first requirements are that
there shall be space for chicken coop
and garden.
The old days when going. to church
meant travelling miles through rugged
country and an all-day stay at the CEN
ter of religious worship are recalled in
the custom of several of the local
churches in serving luncheon to the
members on Sunday. Bethlehem Lu-
theran Church, Cumberland and Green
streets, has arranged to serve the
members of the church who live at
a distance with a cold lunch and cof-
fee after the morning church service.
Many who live on the outskirts of the
city and want to stay for evening SER
vice and Sunday school take advantage
of the plan. Several years ago the
same custom existed at Market Square
Presbyterian Church.
