It's a good thing for men that you
do" continued Dick with a grin.
81 don't think we always forgive,
Dick. We just bear it because we
don't know what else to do. How
ever, we are not bearing as much as
we used to do, because we know
what we can do. Look at Mary; she

DREAMS
Editor Writes on Life With an In
Spiration.

Editor Writes on Life With an In
Spiration.
Stick to your dream, boy. Let
nothing swerve you from the path
that leads upward toward the fulfill
ment of your life's ambition.
You will meet with difficulties and
discouragements, but when you do,
Just think Of the man Herreshoff, the
boat builder, who died the other day
up in Rhode Island. In his life you
ought to find inspiration enough to
lift you over any obstacle.
A writer in one Of our exchanges
says that when John B. Heiress-Love
was a boy his ambition was to design
and build the fastest boat in the world.
He became blind when yet a boy. That
would have discouraged any ordinary
boy, for how could a blind man design
a model that he could not see? But
Herreshoff was no ordinary boy. He
stuck to his dream. The heavy handi-
cap Of blindness only made him press
on all the harder.
The blind boy sat in eternal dark
ness and whitfield out his boat mod
els. Gradually there developed in his
fingers q muscle sense that was worth
more to him than eyesight would have
been. Slipping the model Of a boat
through his hands he could tell how
it should be shaped to slip through the
water with the least resistance. Other
designers figured out their models by
complex mathematical calculations.
But the blind boy felt with his sensi-
tive fingers and his models were the
best, for when he was twenty-four
years old he built the fastest yacht
the world has ever known and, while
he could not see the boat go. he felt
the dash and plunge and swiftness Of
it, and he wept when they told him
his boat had won the race.
The fame Of the blind designer Of
fast boats spread round the world.
and England, Russia and Italy gave
him contracts for their fastest torpedo
boats. He died a few days ago. a
wealthy man, better than that. a sue
cessful man, for he had stuck to his
boyhood's dream and achieved it fully.

Look on the Sunny Side.

Every cloud has a silver lining, no
matter how black 1t may seem. And
II your eyesight Is keen you "a look
right through the outer covering Of
darkness and see the silver lining
shining through. No matter how
great trouble you may be in, there is
a bright side to it, If you know how to
look. Just at first your eyes may be
blinded by the appalling darkness of
1t all, but the minute you become ac-
customed to it and begin to look
around, you will see little glimmers
Of the light shining through the
blackness. Never give way to despair
when trouble grips you. The only
power that trouble has over you is the
power you give it. Each and every
one Of us has his share Of grief and
trouble, but those Of us who give way
to it go under. Only those stay on top
who have learned to look through and
beyond the darkness Of trouble to the
sunshine Of peace and content.

Good evening, sister," he cordially

How did you like the sermon this

There's a Reason.-Young Adolpn

car. He was a scorcher, and believed
in going straight ahead. 1t was In
the heart Of Yorkshire, says the Pitts
burgh Dispatch.
Suddenly a terrified clucking under
the wheels told him some accident had
happened. He pulled up and glanced
back. Two fowls lay dead in his track,
while another two were fleeing back to
home and safety.
'ThatIl be IA shillings. please" re-
marked a burly man in
who appeared on the scene promptly;
that's three-and-si apiece for the
four"
"Four!" gasped Adolphus. But
only killed two"
That's right" agreed the fowrs
owner, "but them other two will never
lay a blessed egg after this"
I'm sorry" said the motorist, as
he handed over the money. Due to the
fright, I %suppose?"
The c~ountryman shook his head as
he crammed the silver into his pocket.
Partly fright" he agreed slowly,
but mainly I reckon. because they

BELGIANS RAISE CROPS
/, Rear of Trenches Which They Have
opd Held-

In Hear OF IrencheS Whlch lhey HaVe
Long Held.
The Belgian lines along the flooded
district north Of Dixmude have been
practically stationary for so long a
time that the soldiers are beginning
to assume the domestic Characters
tics Of settlers. Chicken coops are
found at frequent intervals in The
spaces behind the trenches, and
hundreds Of small vegetable gardens
provide variety to the daily menu Of
their soldier owners. Officers and men
find frequent opportunity to give
themselves the pleasure Of an after
Moons fishing, the usual reward being
a fair haul Of savory carp, found in
the streams and canals which empty
themselves into the flooded district,
says an Associated Press dispatch
from Dunkirk, France.
The flooded district in front Of the
Belgium base position now covers
about 10000 acres, extending in a
huge rectangle from north Of DiXmude
to a point east of Newport. 1t is
hardly correct to say that the Belgian
lines have been absolutely stationary
here, even for the last few months.
Little by little the Belgians have
pushed forward here and there until
they have established their advance
trenches in most places we'll on the
north side of the flooded area, at dis
tances of a mile to two miles from
their base positions.
These advance positions are APP
preached across the water barrier
over narrow roadways of planking
supported on piles. All the supplies
for the troops in the advance trenches
are carried from the base over these
crooked, rickety bridges.
Although the mosquitoes, millions
Of them, make their presence con-
stantly known throughout the flooded
area, the sanitary conditions every
where are excellent, and the health
of the soldiers has been phenomenally
good. The fear that contamination of
the stagnant flood waters would in
evitably lead to epidemics has been
n~eutralized by the excellent work Of
the Belgian medical and sanitary Of
ficers, who with great care have re-
moved and destroyed every possible
source Of contamination, particularly
the dead bodies of men and horses
which for a time rose frequently to
the surface of the waters.
The average depth of the water in
the flooded area is about four feet. 1t
is impossible for the enemy to adj
vance on foot through this compare
lively shallow lake because Of the
presence everywhere Of depressions,
many of them abandoned cellers or
huge shell holes.

a success, must proceed upon the idea
Of facilitating, not obstructing, bust
ness. Its object should be to enable
the producer to get the benefit of the
operation Of the laws Of supply and
demand throughout the twelve
months, and not force him to bear all

Most oblising.-A street car was
getting under way when two women,
rushing from opposite sides Of the
street to greet each other, met right
in the middle Of the car track and in
front Of the car, says the Pittsburgh
Chronicle Telegraph.
There the two stopped and began
to talk. The a stopped too. but the
women did not appear to realize that
it was there. Certain OF the passen-
gers whose heads were Immediately
thrust out Of the windows to ascertain
what the trouble was, began to make
sarcastic remarks, but the two women
needed them not.
Finally the motorman showed that
he had a saving Of humor.
Leaning over the dashboard he in
quired in the gentlest Of tones:
Pardon me, ladies, but shall 1 get
you a couple Of chairs?"

man went into a Photographic studio

seemed pleased and finally said:

WOMAN AND THE HOME
Fact, Fashion and Fancy Calculated to
Interest York County Women.

Interest York County Women.
This is a sure and harmless cure for
warts: Go to the drug store and get
ten cents worth Of cinnamon oil and
put it on the warts every night and in
the morning If you wish. Do not be
afraid Of getting it on the other skin
around the warts, for it will not hurt
it. The warts will soon start to dis
appear as quickly as they came. 1t Is
best to apply with a %toothpick.
Petticoats.
Petticoats of muslin are back again
in the feminine wardrobe after an en-
forced retirement Of several seasons
duration. They are shaped somewhat
differently from their predecessors,
having been influenced by the chang
ing lines in outer apparel. Some of
the new models incline to close fitting
hip lines and faring iounce. There
are others that are only moderately
wide through the hem. One reason
advanced for the maintenance of the
comparatively narrow p%etticoat Is that
with the revival of the very wide outer
skirt, particularly as advocated for
dance purposes, the need for the
clinging foundation skirt is at once
apparent. Lingerie makers in Paris
have not been seriously disturbed by
the war. Naturally this work is done
by women, and the greater trouble has
been to get it transported to this coun-
try.

Hexom's beautiful Window.

During the past year or two Phil
ip Hexom of the firm of John G. Hex
ON & Son has dressed a number of
handsome window displays, but the
one opened up last week eclipses all
previous efforts. 1t is showing Of
high vine canned pineapple products
from the Hawaiian islands. Last
Wednesday was pineapple day all
over the country, and the window
dressing contest was participated in
by dealers everywhere $4,000 will
be distributed in prizes by the asso-
citation.
B. j.. Reynolds took a photograph
of the window the other evening,
and the picture has been forwarded.
If Mr.. Hexom's efforts on this win
dow doesn't draw down substan-
tial prize we miss our guess, for the
window is about as an artistic one as
one would wish to see. Mr.. Hexom' s
ability as window dresser is of the
highest order. evidencing high ar
tistic temperament.

DELINQUENT TAX LIST SMALL.
County Treasurer Christen Has
Taxes Pretty Well Collected up.

The list of properties on which
taxes are delinquent, published &C
cording to law in Public Opinion last
week and this is unusually small.
The list prepared by County Treasur-
er Christen is an unusually small
list for a county of this size, and
speaks well for the work in the
treasurer's Office. MIR. Christen has
proved himself a capable officer, has
been accommodating to all patrons of
his office and has taken care of the
tax interests in most capable man
ner, and rendered all information
possible in a way that has been a
great help and benefit to patrons O.:
his Office. The taxes for the year
1915 amounted to $374,637.42.
The properties on which taxes are
not paid by Monday, Dec. s, will be
sold at auction by the county treas
urer.
