Queen St., Lancaster They Stand Astonished at the prices at which we are offering Whitewash, Scrub, Horse, Paint and all other kind of Brushes, and well they may for such bargains have not been known before. Could our Brushes speak, they would remonstrate at the low prices at which we sacrifice them. But our prices speak and the brushes remain dnmb through the bustle with indignation. Again an old-time subject Our strict attention claims, For magnates now are meeting To fix the baseball games. Though politics and battles So long have had the call, We for the present shelve them To think and talli of ball. The " cranks " who've long been kicking As hard as army mules, Are eagerly discussing The latest playing rules. And often their opinions Are mingled with regrets, Through fear that certain cliange3 Will hurt their pitching pets. The managers are busy, And every nerve they strain In getting teams together And making plans to train. And at them many players'. Now cast a wistful glance, Then hand in their petitions For wages in advance. The catchers arid the pitchers Are working up new signs; The umpires are reflecting On how they'll sock on fines, And " rooters " are rehearsing Some disconcerting scream, With which they hope to rattle The opposition team. Although it's rather early We now work off our brag That our new team of sluggers Will surely win the flag. Of course they may get walloped, And pennant fail to win, But just the same we're bluffing Before the games begin. THE C0HÜ-W00D LS&1S MB1S1 & CO., LITITZ j PA. S. B. LOOKED out across the quiet square that was dim with falling snow and said:— " " I t keeps coming down, doesn't it?" By which B, B. meant not only that it did, but that he thought the fact re-markable. One can get used to the snow's coming at all, and even to its ex-ceeding great whiteness, but not to the way it has of coming down, and coming down. Temple Square lies in the heart of the great pity, and yet apart from it, Only one street leads to it. You can hear, far off, the noise of the tracks on the cobble stones, but this only1 seems to re-mind the square of its own peace. Tall trees are in the center of the square, and an iron fence around it. The houses on the four sides are large, very stately and respectable, and somewhat alike. "Where does it come from, Chris ?" Chris knew well enough, but he was busy. Therefore, B. B. being left to himself, thought that it ct|fl*e IV-om up north Wheye thpre was a great deal of it. There was said to be any amount of suow in Greenland, for instance. All that afternoon the snow fell and far into the night, and not only in Tem-ple Square, but it came down dreamily into the city. It covered the streets and other squares -with its noble quiet-ness, It dropped on church steeples, down area steps, on the Are escapes of tenement houses, on roofs flat and slop-ing, on the forks of trees and ledges of windows. It fell in any sort of place without disdainful choice, Nevertheless, in the morning, B. B, went forth triumphant, thinking the snow came from Greenland for the one purpose of falling in Temple Square. The sun was out and the snow moist-ening, settling, packing. Old Christian Allison starting down town at ten o'clock,"saw his grandchildren carrying cord-wood and a step-ladder into the square, and laying the snowy founda-tions of a structure of some kind. An Italian woman, with a basket on her head, stood watching them. It pleased him to see young Chris at work in this manner, with calm preparation for t^p. laying of a solid and building thereon with care. He walked on, planting his feet with a flat-soled tread, thinking of the fortunes of the Allison's and of other Christian Allisons in far-off times upholding honorably the name, The hopes that had been shattered, the dreams that had vanished with the death of his elder son, were taking shape again in his mind, and clinging the niore closely to the bQy. His younger son was not a business man, The clerks in his office that day found him absent-minded and laughed to themselves at the odd circumstance. Coming back at three in the after-! noon, he glanced across the street, stopped surprised, and a smile broke over his wrinkled wintry faoe. For a stately man of snow stood close behind the iron fence, with a stout cane in its hand, a tall hat on its head, a cloak hanging from its shoulders. He mount-ed the front steps chuckling. " The young rascal! He means me." " He stands stiff, doesn't he, Chris?" said B. B. proudly. "He won't fall down, will he?" Chris was busy explaining to Jimmy Sutton, who had seen the snow man and come across the square to applaud if he were let into the game, and criti-cise if he were left out. " There's a stick of cord-wood in each leg," said Chris, slowly, " to make him stand solid. Because my grandfather is the solidest man on tlie market^' B. B. looked oil admiringly AND thought what a grand thing it was to he solid, sjnce Grandfather Allison was solid both on the market and }u his legs, Then Jimmy Sutton knew that he could not justly criticise, for he saw that Chris had a great soul and that there was truly cord-wood in Grand-father Allison's legs. He went off to a distance and threw snowballs at Grand-father Allison's hat, and Chris went after him so that he ran away, and B. B. ran after Chris with great dili-gence but little progress through the snow, and felt that in some manner he too was battling for the right. After that, B. B. went in and told his mother of the evil mindedness of Jimmy Sut-ton, and she saw it in the right way, as she usually did, that is, she saw it was important that Grandfather Alli-son's dignity should be protected and understood clearly what solidity is given to the legs by cord-wood. The darkness came down on Temple Square, not as the snow had come in separate flakes, but after a manner of its own. The electric lights were not turned on till six, so that the square was quite at its dimmest just before. Then somewhere far off in the city, the switch was turned on, and all the lights sprang forth with a white glare and snapping sound. Old Christian Allison sat at the head of his dinner table and drew his bushy eyebrows down severely, and said:— " Chris, who taught you to make car-icatures of your grandfather?" Chris blinked with astonishment. "That isn't a—it isn't—it isn't any of that kind of thing." He reddened at the laughter, but kept his head sturdily. " I t ' s a statue of you." ;'Oh, it's a statue of me!" 'He has cord-wood in his legs," put in B. B. eagerly. " I t makes him solid." 'Well," said Chris, "Grandfather Allison, you needn't have him then. I'll make him into General Grant." 'No you won't! (very decisively). That's my statue," he went on, peering sharply under his eyebrows. " In fact, Chris, I 'm much obliged to you. I'm glad you put cord-wood in my legs." "Cause—cause," shouted B. B. cause you're the solidest man on the market. They was awfully heavy sticks, and I lugged one. I did, mother, some of the way." But Chris, finding that Grandfather Allison approved of him, fell heavily upon his dessert and said no more. Now Macintyre Allison, old Chris-tian's second son was absent minded. Chris considered him agreeable hut not solid, and it is not at all impossible that o}d Christian's opinion was nearly the same, Aud Macintyre said :— " I 'd like to take a look at that work of art, Somehow or other, when I go to look for things they're generally' gone. I look for collar buttons under the bureau, and they're never there. They're generally in the button holes." He and B. B. gazed together from the window. The electric light glared and sputtered over the snow. "He's over there," said B, B, 11 by the post. He's just back of—of—— Oh , he isn't either!" " Isn't what?" " He isn't there! He's toppled over!" "What!" The family flocked to the windows. Macintyre said it was "just his luok." Old Christian had a feeling of Indig-nation and Joss, as if something had touched his credit on the market. Chris said nothing. He rushed to the front door, seized his hat and charged down the steps. The family collected hats and cloaks and followed. They fouiid him standing over the fallen ruins of Grand-father Allison's statue. The electric light was overhead, The cord-wood legs were gone, Chris said:— "Jimmy Sutton!" There was a gleam in his eyes. He dashed away into the darkness of the square. Presently he returned with Jimmy Sutton, but not dragged by the collar or anything of that kind. There was peace between them. Jimmy Sutton denied interfering with Grandfather Allison,s legs. He had put away hos-tility. The theft of Grandfather Alli-son's legs filled liis soul With »excite-ment and mad§ hjm a fervent ally. He desired to be in the game." Macintyre had an idea. "Oh!" he said. " I say. Look here! I met a woman coming out of the square. It was just. before six. Re-markable how those Italian women carry things on their heads. They carry baskets and bundles, you know." Mac!" cried his sister. '' Don't! What did she do?" : i " Tell your story man," said the old gentleman, gruffly. He pretended to be vexed that any son of his should be so absent-minded, but really, he want-ed to know about that cord-wood, Logs," said Macintyre. " She had one on top of the other. Two, She had them on top of her head. Most as-tonishing thing. She nearly put my eye out." "Mother," said B. B. sleepily, "it was generous of Grandfather Allison to give away his legs to a woman, wasn't it?" He looked doubtfully at the legs of his actual grandfather, who pulled his bushy eyebrows down and smiled grim-ly- "No," he said, "if you mean me, I shouldn't. I should draw the line." Then B. B. went off to bed filled with great thoughts about many things. For one thing, whether, lying still out there in the snow beneath the electric light, Grandfather Allison's status, knew or felt that in some, place or other, hi? legs were burning. BUT IT stretched his mind so much to imagine how it would seem to have one's legs some-where else helping a brown faced little woman to cook maccaroni, that he grew tired and fell suddenly asleep, The Return of Spring. It's Spring! The real thing! Let's sing, Hats fling, Do anything To make the welkin ring. The happy time When poets rhyme Of vernal joys, And lose their mental poise, Is to the front, And all must bear the brunt Of Springtime verse, And worse. Now all the frogs In all the bogs Put on their concert togs, Of every grade, And join in nightly serenade. They sing Of Spring, Of Gentle Spring, And though men listening Art oft made sad, And some made mad, The frogs are glad. The birds we love, The robin, wren and dove, And all the feathered host, Return from southern wood aud sun-lit coast, And coo and twitter to their mates. And oft a song that captivates Is heard at early morn, Ere yet the day is fully-born— A song ecstatic, pure and sweet That, incense-like, floats up to greet The coming god of day. And thoughts no longer stray, For ears are strained, at dawning gray, To catch that song from far away. The thrifty wives, Who make men's lives At times like desert drear, Now take up pastime dear. For Spring's return No more they yearn. With duty's.joys they cope, And gather buckets, brooms and soap To war on dust and grime, For it's house-cleaning time. They scrub, And rub, While men the carpets drub And growl about the grub. No song the victims sing, But scornful jeers they fling At Spring. Spring hats and gowns Will cause some frowns, For often men Get angry when Their wives grow rash And call for eash. But in the Spring Comes blossoming, Aiid gradening, And ting-a-ling As bikers ring. Thus joy offsets the woe, And cares aside we throw To grasp the pleasing things The season brings. The Testimony Stood. I t was in a Duluth Court, and the witness was a Swede who was perhaps not so stupid as he seemed to be. The cross-examining attorney was a smart young man, whose object was to disconcert the witness and discredit his testimony. " What did you say your name was?" was the first question. " Yahn"—very deliberately—" Peter' sen." ' John Petei-sqn, eh? Old man Peter's son, I suppose. Well, John, where do you live?" '' Where Ah live? In Dulut'.'' "Now, Peterson, answer this ques-tion carefully. Are you a married man?" Ah, take so. Ah was married." So you think because you got mar-ried you think you are a married man, do you ? That's funny. Now, tell the gentlemen of this exceptionally intelli-gent jury who you married," " Who Ah married? Ah married a woman!" See here, sir! Don't you know any better than to* trifle with this court? What do you mean, sir? You married a woman? Of course you married a woman. Did you ever hear of anyone marrying a man?" Yas. Mah sister did." Nearly Thirty. Nearly thirty short stories will be published in the four April numbers of The Youth's Companionrand the pub-lishers promise that they will all be first rate. There will be humorous stories, pathetic stories, stories that teach a good lesson in a geniai way, animal stories and stories of thrilling adventure. There will be stories that will interest men and fascinate boys; stories that will charm women and de-light their daughters. When the Sun Dies. Our sun is now a yellow star similar to Capella, and hence it will eventually become bluish-white like Siriue and Vega, says Prof. T. J. J. See in the April11 Atlantic.'' The secular shrink-age of the sun's radius will cause steady rise in its temperature, and when the body has reached the stage of Sirius; where the temperature is perhaps dou-bled, the light emitted will become in-tensely blue. The temperature may be expected to go on rising till a small radius is attained, and finally when the dense mass, intensely hot, becomes in-capable of further shrinkage, on ac-count of increase in the molecular for-ces resisting condensation, a cooling will gradually ensue, after which the body will liquefy and then rapidly de-cline in splendor. The sun will thence-forth be wrapped in everlasting dark-ness, and the chill of death will over-take the planetary system. In view of this approaching extinc-tion of the sun's activity, it becomes a matter of interest to inquire how long its heat will sustain life upon the earth. Though it is difficult to submit the sub-ject to accurate computation, it is easy to see that the exhaustion of the sun's light and heat certainly will not occur for several hundred thousand, and per-haps not for several million years. Thus the ultimate doom of our system need occasion no anxiety among those now living, but the result is philosoph-ically interesting to those who look several million years into the future. As experiment has shown that the sun's vertical rays falling continuously upon terrestrial ice would melt a layer three centimeters in thickness per day, it follows that a similar shell of ice would form over the earth in case the sun's light and heat were cut off; thus in a month the whole earth would be frozen like the polar regions, and only the deeper bodies of water, containing a great amount of heat, would remain in a liquid state. The oceans them-selves would freeze over within a few years at the latest, and the winds and even the tides would cease to agitate the terrestrial globe, which would henceforth spin in its orbit as a rigid lifeless mass. Opportunities for Young Explorers. Many people suppose the whole world except only the extreme Arctic and Antarctic regions, to have been explored and mapped already; but, in fact, there is no lack of unknown lands to which our modern Nasamonians can turn their attention. In Africa . . .' Wadai has only been visited by three travelers, and although it would be very difficult to penetrate into the territory itself, useful explor-ing work might be done in some of the out-lying .districts, approachable from the upper Benue or the Uhongj \\?ells. The region between Lake Rudolph and Abyssinia, and the valley of the Sohat, a tributary of the White Nile, are believed to he of great interest, but are entirely unknown, Outside these three regions, there is a fair knowledge of the general geograph-ical features of Africa, but much detail remains to be filled in and much indif-ferent work requires to be done over again. There are also regions which have indeed been traversed, but which will well repay further detailed exami-nation. So that Africa still offers a wide and interesting field of research to the young explorer.—SIB CLEMENTS MARKHAM i n T H E YOUTH'S COMPAN-ION. A Prolific Apple Tree. "What do you think of one apple tree from which ninety boxes of fruit was gathered in one year?" queried P. W. Tonneson, the county fruit inspec-tor, says the Tacoma "Ledger." "Well it's a fact. Just across the Puyallup river brige on Main street of Puyallup, on Mr. Lacy's place, stands an apple tree, the record of which might be placed among the historical archives of the state. The tree measures 5 J feet in circumference, and is somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 years old. It is of the Waxen variety. According to Mr. Lacy's statement, the tree has borne this year about ninety boxes of apples, most of them being salable fruit, Mr. Carson, the former proprietor stated, while living on the place several years ago, .that the tree has been a regular bearer, and that it has averaged between fifty and seventy-five boxes of apples during the past 20 years. The huge tree presents a remarkable appearance in the spring when in full blossom. It is without doubt the largest and most prolific bearing apple tree in the state." A New Legal Invention. Some Missouri lawyer has invented a brand-new basis for a claim for dam-ages against a railway company. He has a client who was a member of the non-commissioned staff of one of the volunteer regiments enlisted for the war with Spain. While the army was being concentrated in Florida the soldier, "by reason of alleged negligence of the Fort Scott and Mempis Railway, fell from a car at Jacksonville, sustain-ing injuries that necessitated his dis-charge from the army. Through his attorney he has now brought suit against the railway company for $25,- 000 damages. The peculiarity of the case lies in the fact that plaintiff sets forth in his complaint, as one of the principal damages for which he seeks recompense, " that, by reason of defen-dant's negligence, plaintiff was de-prived of his opportunity to win glory and honor as a soldier in the war with Spain, to his loss and damage." Ready for Quay Trial. Arrangements for the Quay trial in Philadelphia on April 10 have all been completed, and so far as can be learned the case -will be heard in Quarter Ses-sions Court No. 1, sitting in room No. 676, with Judge Biddle presiding. The fact that Judge Biddle will preside has not been authoratively announced, but following the usual system of rotation among the judges it is understood that he will preside in Court No. 1 aud Judge Willson in Court No. 2. David T, Watson, the well-known Pittsburg lawyer, is expected in Phila-delphia some time during the coming week to consult with Messrs. Shapley and Shields, the local counsel in the case. Senator Quay is also expected to spend several days there in final con-sultation with his counsel. HAU; TO THE RALEIGH. A Triumphal Trip Prom Manila by a Gallant Cruiser of Dewey's Fleet. The United States cruiser Raleigh, Capt. Joseph B. Coghlan, from Manila on December 15, is coaling at Fayal, Azores, will coal at Bermuda April 8, and expects to reach New York April 12. She will be the first of the ships that fought under Dewey May 1,1898, to return to thé United States. She took part in all the movements about the Philippine islands last May, in the battle of Manila bay, the capture of the Corregidor forts, the capture of the gunboat Callao, the bombardment of Malate fort-, forcing the surrender of Manila. After leaving Manila on December 15 last the Raleigh stopped at Singapore, Colombo, Bombay, Aden, Port Said, Alexandria, Malta, Algiers and Gib-raltar. In all the British Colonies the officials of the British army and navy and the civilian population gave the American warship an enthusiastic wel-come, showing her officers and crew every courtesy. Dinners with Ameri-can decorations and American national music were given to Captain Coghlan and his officers, in marked difference to the reception of the Raleigh on her outward passage two years ago. Gov-ernors, generals, admirals and other high officials all wished to visit and in-spect the ship. The Raleigh still has her gray war paint on. At Singapore she met a Spanish trans-port having on board troops and sailors from Manila. Although flying a war-ship's pennant, the Spanish ship low-ered her colors and permission was granted to the Spaniards to visit the Raleigh, where they were welcomed by the American sailors, who gave them much-needed food and clothing. Many of the Spaniards showed to the Ameri-cans wounds inflicted upon them by shells of Dewey's fleet. At Malta the Raleigh met the British Mediterranean fleet, consisting of ten battleships and a number of cruisers. The British sailors extended a cordial welcome to the Americans, joining the soldiers of the garrison in entertaining the crew of the Raleigh ashore. During her stay at Malta the Raleigh was crowded with British redcoats and bluejackets. The American officers were enter-tained at Cairo by United States Con-sul Harrison. 'Prominent'British and Egyptian officials were present. The French at Algiers showed a marked difference. There was no re-ception except from the British and American residents, although the French officials were polite. At Gibralter the. crew of the Raleigh saw the Spanish fleet commanded by Admiral Camara, It consisted of six ships and was anchored across Algeci-nis bay. The Spanish fleet aud the Raleigh sailed from Gibralter at the same time and.passed close to each other. The Raleigh hoisted the Spanish flag and saluted it. The salute was prompt-ly returned by the Spanish admiral from his flagship, the Emperor CarlosV. Thé Raleigh in two years has cruised 42,000 miles. The Raleigh is the vessel on which our townsman Wayne Longenecker is coming home on. Necklace of Black Diamonds. The only necklâCe of black diamonds in the world is in the possessions of Mrs. Celia Wallace, of Chicago. The black diamond is very rare and very beautiful. Only a few dealers in dia-monds handle them. Mrs. Wallace has been collecting the stones for eighteen years, and has searched for them in every market in the world. The black diamond is as black as a piece of coal, perfectly transparent, and with all the lustre and brilliant rays of its white sis-ter. It is used as the mourning stone of the Russian court. Mrs. Wallace's necklace is composed of fourteen pen-dants, hung on a fine platinum chain. Each one has a black diamond centre, set closely around with a row of steel white diamonds from the Jaager mine in South Africa. Between each pen-dant, hanging like a pierced dewdrop, is a single white diamond, while direct-ly above the larger pendant is a nine carat white Indian diamond of unusual beauty. For this single stone, unset, Mrs. Wallace paid $6,000 Not Necessarily a Tactician. " There's a young woman who makes little things count," "How does she do it?" " Teaches arithmetic in a primary school." A Married Man's Musing*. The road to the marrying minister's is the route to all evils. All married men have decided views about matrimony. They are decided for them by their wives. After a runaway match it isn't long until somebody kicks over the traces. When an engagement is broken and presents are returned, the young man never gets back the money spent for theatre tickets and ice cream. After a girl has been practicing before the mirror every night for a week on how to say " y e s " gracefully, nothing makes her madder than to have the fel-low leave town suddenly. Wise Words., The luck of the seventh son is gener-ally the old clothes of the other six. Wisdom is better than good looks, be-cause it saves money on photographs. People who seem stupid and reserved to us may have heard that we tell all we know. Frying doughnuts and a love affair can't go on without everybody in the house knowing it. Over the State. I t is likely that James A. Clemm will be hanged from a platform con structed from tier to tier of the rear end corridor of the Norristown Jail. The large barn of the Walter Stock Farm, near Bloonisburg, was burned, together with a large quantity of hay, straw and grain. Four fine horses and thirteen cows were roasted to death. The fire was of incendiary origin. Loss, $12,000. Harry Rider, a well known farmer, had his nose cut off at PlioenixviL'" while pruning a tree. He hung hi saw on a limb, and when looking up the saw fell, striking him in. the face with the result stated. Captain Warwick, of Bristol, in com-mand of the barge Phoenix, had his hand caught by a hawser and three . fingers were torn off. Gunners are bagging many wild ducks along the Delaware near Bristol. Dairyman Ellwood Anders, of Wor-cester township, Montgomery county, who mysteriously left home some days ago, returned. From the drug store of Charles B. Shoemaker, at Allentown, burglars car-ried off'$300 worth of goods. Disappointed in love, Miss Grace Ro-selle committed suicide at. Gowen, Lu-zerne county, by swallowing Paris green and oil of hemlock. Ground for a new dormitory at Buck-nell University, Lewisburg, will be broken Monday afternoon. The build-ing will accommodate 100 students. Unknown parties set fire to the Inde-pendent Polish Catholic Church, at Plymouth, Luzerne county, but the flames were extinguished by a bucket brigade. W. C- Frantz, of Neff's, has his incu-bators running continually and has or- ' ders on hand till June. He has 1300 chicks in brooders. Zacharius Nonemacher, engineer of the Lehigh Valley shifter, Allentown, fell from his locomotive and sustained serious injuries about the head. John H, Focht, a native of Lebanon, Pa,, for many years city editor of the Reading Times, died at Reading, of nervous prostration, aged 48. The Berks County Agricultural So-ciety has adopted a resolution request-ing the local members of the Legislature to support the Pool bill, now pending." Because of a disposition of some of the members of Select Council to oppose police appointments, - Mayor-elect Schaadt, of Allentown, refuses *'to ap-point a chief and assistant chiefs, and the Republican incumbents will hold over temporarily. Freight trains collided on the Read-ing Railway, near Birdsboro Saturday and four cars were wrecked. The increase of ten per cent, in the wages of the several thousand; iron workers around Lebanon went into ef-fect on Saturday. The body of James Boyle, a member of Troop A, of the Rough Riders, killed in the charge on San Juan Hill on July 1, has been brought to Lansford and was buried there Sunday with military honors. You feel the blood rushing along. But what kind of blood? That is the question. Is it pure blood or impure blood? If the blood is impure then you are weak and languid; your appetite is poor and your digestion is weak. You can-not sleep well and the morn-ing finds you unprepared for the work of the day. Your cheeks are pale and your com-plexion is sallow. You are troubled with pimples, boils, i or some eruption of the skin.' Why not purify your blood ? Graiu-O Brings Relief to the coffee drinker. Coffee drinking is a habit that is universally indulged in and almost as universally injurious. Have you tried Grain-O ? *It is almost like coffee but the effects are just the opposite. Coffee upsets the stomach, ruins the digestion, effects the heart and disturbs the whole nervous system. Grain-0 tones up the stomach, aids di-gestion and strengthens the nerves. There is nothing but nourishment in Grain-O. It can't be otherwise. 15 and 25c. per package. 4 will do it. Take it a few days and then put your finger on your pulse again. You can feel the difference. It is stronger and your circulation better. Send for our book on Impure Blood. If you are bilious, take Ayer's Pills.

Queen St., Lancaster They Stand Astonished at the prices at which we are offering Whitewash, Scrub, Horse, Paint and all other kind of Brushes, and well they may for such bargains have not been known before. Could our Brushes speak, they would remonstrate at the low prices at which we sacrifice them. But our prices speak and the brushes remain dnmb through the bustle with indignation. Again an old-time subject Our strict attention claims, For magnates now are meeting To fix the baseball games. Though politics and battles So long have had the call, We for the present shelve them To think and talli of ball. The " cranks " who've long been kicking As hard as army mules, Are eagerly discussing The latest playing rules. And often their opinions Are mingled with regrets, Through fear that certain cliange3 Will hurt their pitching pets. The managers are busy, And every nerve they strain In getting teams together And making plans to train. And at them many players'. Now cast a wistful glance, Then hand in their petitions For wages in advance. The catchers arid the pitchers Are working up new signs; The umpires are reflecting On how they'll sock on fines, And " rooters " are rehearsing Some disconcerting scream, With which they hope to rattle The opposition team. Although it's rather early We now work off our brag That our new team of sluggers Will surely win the flag. Of course they may get walloped, And pennant fail to win, But just the same we're bluffing Before the games begin. THE C0HÜ-W00D LS&1S MB1S1 & CO., LITITZ j PA. S. B. LOOKED out across the quiet square that was dim with falling snow and said:— " " I t keeps coming down, doesn't it?" By which B, B. meant not only that it did, but that he thought the fact re-markable. One can get used to the snow's coming at all, and even to its ex-ceeding great whiteness, but not to the way it has of coming down, and coming down. Temple Square lies in the heart of the great pity, and yet apart from it, Only one street leads to it. You can hear, far off, the noise of the tracks on the cobble stones, but this only1 seems to re-mind the square of its own peace. Tall trees are in the center of the square, and an iron fence around it. The houses on the four sides are large, very stately and respectable, and somewhat alike. "Where does it come from, Chris ?" Chris knew well enough, but he was busy. Therefore, B. B. being left to himself, thought that it ct|fl*e IV-om up north Wheye thpre was a great deal of it. There was said to be any amount of suow in Greenland, for instance. All that afternoon the snow fell and far into the night, and not only in Tem-ple Square, but it came down dreamily into the city. It covered the streets and other squares -with its noble quiet-ness, It dropped on church steeples, down area steps, on the Are escapes of tenement houses, on roofs flat and slop-ing, on the forks of trees and ledges of windows. It fell in any sort of place without disdainful choice, Nevertheless, in the morning, B. B, went forth triumphant, thinking the snow came from Greenland for the one purpose of falling in Temple Square. The sun was out and the snow moist-ening, settling, packing. Old Christian Allison starting down town at ten o'clock,"saw his grandchildren carrying cord-wood and a step-ladder into the square, and laying the snowy founda-tions of a structure of some kind. An Italian woman, with a basket on her head, stood watching them. It pleased him to see young Chris at work in this manner, with calm preparation for t^p. laying of a solid and building thereon with care. He walked on, planting his feet with a flat-soled tread, thinking of the fortunes of the Allison's and of other Christian Allisons in far-off times upholding honorably the name, The hopes that had been shattered, the dreams that had vanished with the death of his elder son, were taking shape again in his mind, and clinging the niore closely to the bQy. His younger son was not a business man, The clerks in his office that day found him absent-minded and laughed to themselves at the odd circumstance. Coming back at three in the after-! noon, he glanced across the street, stopped surprised, and a smile broke over his wrinkled wintry faoe. For a stately man of snow stood close behind the iron fence, with a stout cane in its hand, a tall hat on its head, a cloak hanging from its shoulders. He mount-ed the front steps chuckling. " The young rascal! He means me." " He stands stiff, doesn't he, Chris?" said B. B. proudly. "He won't fall down, will he?" Chris was busy explaining to Jimmy Sutton, who had seen the snow man and come across the square to applaud if he were let into the game, and criti-cise if he were left out. " There's a stick of cord-wood in each leg," said Chris, slowly, " to make him stand solid. Because my grandfather is the solidest man on tlie market^' B. B. looked oil admiringly AND thought what a grand thing it was to he solid, sjnce Grandfather Allison was solid both on the market and }u his legs, Then Jimmy Sutton knew that he could not justly criticise, for he saw that Chris had a great soul and that there was truly cord-wood in Grand-father Allison's legs. He went off to a distance and threw snowballs at Grand-father Allison's hat, and Chris went after him so that he ran away, and B. B. ran after Chris with great dili-gence but little progress through the snow, and felt that in some manner he too was battling for the right. After that, B. B. went in and told his mother of the evil mindedness of Jimmy Sut-ton, and she saw it in the right way, as she usually did, that is, she saw it was important that Grandfather Alli-son's dignity should be protected and understood clearly what solidity is given to the legs by cord-wood. The darkness came down on Temple Square, not as the snow had come in separate flakes, but after a manner of its own. The electric lights were not turned on till six, so that the square was quite at its dimmest just before. Then somewhere far off in the city, the switch was turned on, and all the lights sprang forth with a white glare and snapping sound. Old Christian Allison sat at the head of his dinner table and drew his bushy eyebrows down severely, and said:— " Chris, who taught you to make car-icatures of your grandfather?" Chris blinked with astonishment. "That isn't a—it isn't—it isn't any of that kind of thing." He reddened at the laughter, but kept his head sturdily. " I t ' s a statue of you." ;'Oh, it's a statue of me!" 'He has cord-wood in his legs," put in B. B. eagerly. " I t makes him solid." 'Well," said Chris, "Grandfather Allison, you needn't have him then. I'll make him into General Grant." 'No you won't! (very decisively). That's my statue," he went on, peering sharply under his eyebrows. " In fact, Chris, I 'm much obliged to you. I'm glad you put cord-wood in my legs." "Cause—cause," shouted B. B. cause you're the solidest man on the market. They was awfully heavy sticks, and I lugged one. I did, mother, some of the way." But Chris, finding that Grandfather Allison approved of him, fell heavily upon his dessert and said no more. Now Macintyre Allison, old Chris-tian's second son was absent minded. Chris considered him agreeable hut not solid, and it is not at all impossible that o}d Christian's opinion was nearly the same, Aud Macintyre said :— " I 'd like to take a look at that work of art, Somehow or other, when I go to look for things they're generally' gone. I look for collar buttons under the bureau, and they're never there. They're generally in the button holes." He and B. B. gazed together from the window. The electric light glared and sputtered over the snow. "He's over there," said B, B, 11 by the post. He's just back of—of—— Oh , he isn't either!" " Isn't what?" " He isn't there! He's toppled over!" "What!" The family flocked to the windows. Macintyre said it was "just his luok." Old Christian had a feeling of Indig-nation and Joss, as if something had touched his credit on the market. Chris said nothing. He rushed to the front door, seized his hat and charged down the steps. The family collected hats and cloaks and followed. They fouiid him standing over the fallen ruins of Grand-father Allison's statue. The electric light was overhead, The cord-wood legs were gone, Chris said:— "Jimmy Sutton!" There was a gleam in his eyes. He dashed away into the darkness of the square. Presently he returned with Jimmy Sutton, but not dragged by the collar or anything of that kind. There was peace between them. Jimmy Sutton denied interfering with Grandfather Allison,s legs. He had put away hos-tility. The theft of Grandfather Alli-son's legs filled liis soul With »excite-ment and mad§ hjm a fervent ally. He desired to be in the game." Macintyre had an idea. "Oh!" he said. " I say. Look here! I met a woman coming out of the square. It was just. before six. Re-markable how those Italian women carry things on their heads. They carry baskets and bundles, you know." Mac!" cried his sister. '' Don't! What did she do?" : i " Tell your story man," said the old gentleman, gruffly. He pretended to be vexed that any son of his should be so absent-minded, but really, he want-ed to know about that cord-wood, Logs," said Macintyre. " She had one on top of the other. Two, She had them on top of her head. Most as-tonishing thing. She nearly put my eye out." "Mother," said B. B. sleepily, "it was generous of Grandfather Allison to give away his legs to a woman, wasn't it?" He looked doubtfully at the legs of his actual grandfather, who pulled his bushy eyebrows down and smiled grim-ly- "No," he said, "if you mean me, I shouldn't. I should draw the line." Then B. B. went off to bed filled with great thoughts about many things. For one thing, whether, lying still out there in the snow beneath the electric light, Grandfather Allison's status, knew or felt that in some, place or other, hi? legs were burning. BUT IT stretched his mind so much to imagine how it would seem to have one's legs some-where else helping a brown faced little woman to cook maccaroni, that he grew tired and fell suddenly asleep, The Return of Spring. It's Spring! The real thing! Let's sing, Hats fling, Do anything To make the welkin ring. The happy time When poets rhyme Of vernal joys, And lose their mental poise, Is to the front, And all must bear the brunt Of Springtime verse, And worse. Now all the frogs In all the bogs Put on their concert togs, Of every grade, And join in nightly serenade. They sing Of Spring, Of Gentle Spring, And though men listening Art oft made sad, And some made mad, The frogs are glad. The birds we love, The robin, wren and dove, And all the feathered host, Return from southern wood aud sun-lit coast, And coo and twitter to their mates. And oft a song that captivates Is heard at early morn, Ere yet the day is fully-born— A song ecstatic, pure and sweet That, incense-like, floats up to greet The coming god of day. And thoughts no longer stray, For ears are strained, at dawning gray, To catch that song from far away. The thrifty wives, Who make men's lives At times like desert drear, Now take up pastime dear. For Spring's return No more they yearn. With duty's.joys they cope, And gather buckets, brooms and soap To war on dust and grime, For it's house-cleaning time. They scrub, And rub, While men the carpets drub And growl about the grub. No song the victims sing, But scornful jeers they fling At Spring. Spring hats and gowns Will cause some frowns, For often men Get angry when Their wives grow rash And call for eash. But in the Spring Comes blossoming, Aiid gradening, And ting-a-ling As bikers ring. Thus joy offsets the woe, And cares aside we throw To grasp the pleasing things The season brings. The Testimony Stood. I t was in a Duluth Court, and the witness was a Swede who was perhaps not so stupid as he seemed to be. The cross-examining attorney was a smart young man, whose object was to disconcert the witness and discredit his testimony. " What did you say your name was?" was the first question. " Yahn"—very deliberately—" Peter' sen." ' John Petei-sqn, eh? Old man Peter's son, I suppose. Well, John, where do you live?" '' Where Ah live? In Dulut'.'' "Now, Peterson, answer this ques-tion carefully. Are you a married man?" Ah, take so. Ah was married." So you think because you got mar-ried you think you are a married man, do you ? That's funny. Now, tell the gentlemen of this exceptionally intelli-gent jury who you married," " Who Ah married? Ah married a woman!" See here, sir! Don't you know any better than to* trifle with this court? What do you mean, sir? You married a woman? Of course you married a woman. Did you ever hear of anyone marrying a man?" Yas. Mah sister did." Nearly Thirty. Nearly thirty short stories will be published in the four April numbers of The Youth's Companionrand the pub-lishers promise that they will all be first rate. There will be humorous stories, pathetic stories, stories that teach a good lesson in a geniai way, animal stories and stories of thrilling adventure. There will be stories that will interest men and fascinate boys; stories that will charm women and de-light their daughters. When the Sun Dies. Our sun is now a yellow star similar to Capella, and hence it will eventually become bluish-white like Siriue and Vega, says Prof. T. J. J. See in the April11 Atlantic.'' The secular shrink-age of the sun's radius will cause steady rise in its temperature, and when the body has reached the stage of Sirius; where the temperature is perhaps dou-bled, the light emitted will become in-tensely blue. The temperature may be expected to go on rising till a small radius is attained, and finally when the dense mass, intensely hot, becomes in-capable of further shrinkage, on ac-count of increase in the molecular for-ces resisting condensation, a cooling will gradually ensue, after which the body will liquefy and then rapidly de-cline in splendor. The sun will thence-forth be wrapped in everlasting dark-ness, and the chill of death will over-take the planetary system. In view of this approaching extinc-tion of the sun's activity, it becomes a matter of interest to inquire how long its heat will sustain life upon the earth. Though it is difficult to submit the sub-ject to accurate computation, it is easy to see that the exhaustion of the sun's light and heat certainly will not occur for several hundred thousand, and per-haps not for several million years. Thus the ultimate doom of our system need occasion no anxiety among those now living, but the result is philosoph-ically interesting to those who look several million years into the future. As experiment has shown that the sun's vertical rays falling continuously upon terrestrial ice would melt a layer three centimeters in thickness per day, it follows that a similar shell of ice would form over the earth in case the sun's light and heat were cut off; thus in a month the whole earth would be frozen like the polar regions, and only the deeper bodies of water, containing a great amount of heat, would remain in a liquid state. The oceans them-selves would freeze over within a few years at the latest, and the winds and even the tides would cease to agitate the terrestrial globe, which would henceforth spin in its orbit as a rigid lifeless mass. Opportunities for Young Explorers. Many people suppose the whole world except only the extreme Arctic and Antarctic regions, to have been explored and mapped already; but, in fact, there is no lack of unknown lands to which our modern Nasamonians can turn their attention. In Africa . . .' Wadai has only been visited by three travelers, and although it would be very difficult to penetrate into the territory itself, useful explor-ing work might be done in some of the out-lying .districts, approachable from the upper Benue or the Uhongj \\?ells. The region between Lake Rudolph and Abyssinia, and the valley of the Sohat, a tributary of the White Nile, are believed to he of great interest, but are entirely unknown, Outside these three regions, there is a fair knowledge of the general geograph-ical features of Africa, but much detail remains to be filled in and much indif-ferent work requires to be done over again. There are also regions which have indeed been traversed, but which will well repay further detailed exami-nation. So that Africa still offers a wide and interesting field of research to the young explorer.—SIB CLEMENTS MARKHAM i n T H E YOUTH'S COMPAN-ION. A Prolific Apple Tree. "What do you think of one apple tree from which ninety boxes of fruit was gathered in one year?" queried P. W. Tonneson, the county fruit inspec-tor, says the Tacoma "Ledger." "Well it's a fact. Just across the Puyallup river brige on Main street of Puyallup, on Mr. Lacy's place, stands an apple tree, the record of which might be placed among the historical archives of the state. The tree measures 5 J feet in circumference, and is somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 years old. It is of the Waxen variety. According to Mr. Lacy's statement, the tree has borne this year about ninety boxes of apples, most of them being salable fruit, Mr. Carson, the former proprietor stated, while living on the place several years ago, .that the tree has been a regular bearer, and that it has averaged between fifty and seventy-five boxes of apples during the past 20 years. The huge tree presents a remarkable appearance in the spring when in full blossom. It is without doubt the largest and most prolific bearing apple tree in the state." A New Legal Invention. Some Missouri lawyer has invented a brand-new basis for a claim for dam-ages against a railway company. He has a client who was a member of the non-commissioned staff of one of the volunteer regiments enlisted for the war with Spain. While the army was being concentrated in Florida the soldier, "by reason of alleged negligence of the Fort Scott and Mempis Railway, fell from a car at Jacksonville, sustain-ing injuries that necessitated his dis-charge from the army. Through his attorney he has now brought suit against the railway company for $25,- 000 damages. The peculiarity of the case lies in the fact that plaintiff sets forth in his complaint, as one of the principal damages for which he seeks recompense, " that, by reason of defen-dant's negligence, plaintiff was de-prived of his opportunity to win glory and honor as a soldier in the war with Spain, to his loss and damage." Ready for Quay Trial. Arrangements for the Quay trial in Philadelphia on April 10 have all been completed, and so far as can be learned the case -will be heard in Quarter Ses-sions Court No. 1, sitting in room No. 676, with Judge Biddle presiding. The fact that Judge Biddle will preside has not been authoratively announced, but following the usual system of rotation among the judges it is understood that he will preside in Court No. 1 aud Judge Willson in Court No. 2. David T, Watson, the well-known Pittsburg lawyer, is expected in Phila-delphia some time during the coming week to consult with Messrs. Shapley and Shields, the local counsel in the case. Senator Quay is also expected to spend several days there in final con-sultation with his counsel. HAU; TO THE RALEIGH. A Triumphal Trip Prom Manila by a Gallant Cruiser of Dewey's Fleet. The United States cruiser Raleigh, Capt. Joseph B. Coghlan, from Manila on December 15, is coaling at Fayal, Azores, will coal at Bermuda April 8, and expects to reach New York April 12. She will be the first of the ships that fought under Dewey May 1,1898, to return to thé United States. She took part in all the movements about the Philippine islands last May, in the battle of Manila bay, the capture of the Corregidor forts, the capture of the gunboat Callao, the bombardment of Malate fort-, forcing the surrender of Manila. After leaving Manila on December 15 last the Raleigh stopped at Singapore, Colombo, Bombay, Aden, Port Said, Alexandria, Malta, Algiers and Gib-raltar. In all the British Colonies the officials of the British army and navy and the civilian population gave the American warship an enthusiastic wel-come, showing her officers and crew every courtesy. Dinners with Ameri-can decorations and American national music were given to Captain Coghlan and his officers, in marked difference to the reception of the Raleigh on her outward passage two years ago. Gov-ernors, generals, admirals and other high officials all wished to visit and in-spect the ship. The Raleigh still has her gray war paint on. At Singapore she met a Spanish trans-port having on board troops and sailors from Manila. Although flying a war-ship's pennant, the Spanish ship low-ered her colors and permission was granted to the Spaniards to visit the Raleigh, where they were welcomed by the American sailors, who gave them much-needed food and clothing. Many of the Spaniards showed to the Ameri-cans wounds inflicted upon them by shells of Dewey's fleet. At Malta the Raleigh met the British Mediterranean fleet, consisting of ten battleships and a number of cruisers. The British sailors extended a cordial welcome to the Americans, joining the soldiers of the garrison in entertaining the crew of the Raleigh ashore. During her stay at Malta the Raleigh was crowded with British redcoats and bluejackets. The American officers were enter-tained at Cairo by United States Con-sul Harrison. 'Prominent'British and Egyptian officials were present. The French at Algiers showed a marked difference. There was no re-ception except from the British and American residents, although the French officials were polite. At Gibralter the. crew of the Raleigh saw the Spanish fleet commanded by Admiral Camara, It consisted of six ships and was anchored across Algeci-nis bay. The Spanish fleet aud the Raleigh sailed from Gibralter at the same time and.passed close to each other. The Raleigh hoisted the Spanish flag and saluted it. The salute was prompt-ly returned by the Spanish admiral from his flagship, the Emperor CarlosV. Thé Raleigh in two years has cruised 42,000 miles. The Raleigh is the vessel on which our townsman Wayne Longenecker is coming home on. Necklace of Black Diamonds. The only necklâCe of black diamonds in the world is in the possessions of Mrs. Celia Wallace, of Chicago. The black diamond is very rare and very beautiful. Only a few dealers in dia-monds handle them. Mrs. Wallace has been collecting the stones for eighteen years, and has searched for them in every market in the world. The black diamond is as black as a piece of coal, perfectly transparent, and with all the lustre and brilliant rays of its white sis-ter. It is used as the mourning stone of the Russian court. Mrs. Wallace's necklace is composed of fourteen pen-dants, hung on a fine platinum chain. Each one has a black diamond centre, set closely around with a row of steel white diamonds from the Jaager mine in South Africa. Between each pen-dant, hanging like a pierced dewdrop, is a single white diamond, while direct-ly above the larger pendant is a nine carat white Indian diamond of unusual beauty. For this single stone, unset, Mrs. Wallace paid $6,000 Not Necessarily a Tactician. " There's a young woman who makes little things count," "How does she do it?" " Teaches arithmetic in a primary school." A Married Man's Musing*. The road to the marrying minister's is the route to all evils. All married men have decided views about matrimony. They are decided for them by their wives. After a runaway match it isn't long until somebody kicks over the traces. When an engagement is broken and presents are returned, the young man never gets back the money spent for theatre tickets and ice cream. After a girl has been practicing before the mirror every night for a week on how to say " y e s " gracefully, nothing makes her madder than to have the fel-low leave town suddenly. Wise Words., The luck of the seventh son is gener-ally the old clothes of the other six. Wisdom is better than good looks, be-cause it saves money on photographs. People who seem stupid and reserved to us may have heard that we tell all we know. Frying doughnuts and a love affair can't go on without everybody in the house knowing it. Over the State. I t is likely that James A. Clemm will be hanged from a platform con structed from tier to tier of the rear end corridor of the Norristown Jail. The large barn of the Walter Stock Farm, near Bloonisburg, was burned, together with a large quantity of hay, straw and grain. Four fine horses and thirteen cows were roasted to death. The fire was of incendiary origin. Loss, $12,000. Harry Rider, a well known farmer, had his nose cut off at PlioenixviL'" while pruning a tree. He hung hi saw on a limb, and when looking up the saw fell, striking him in. the face with the result stated. Captain Warwick, of Bristol, in com-mand of the barge Phoenix, had his hand caught by a hawser and three . fingers were torn off. Gunners are bagging many wild ducks along the Delaware near Bristol. Dairyman Ellwood Anders, of Wor-cester township, Montgomery county, who mysteriously left home some days ago, returned. From the drug store of Charles B. Shoemaker, at Allentown, burglars car-ried off'$300 worth of goods. Disappointed in love, Miss Grace Ro-selle committed suicide at. Gowen, Lu-zerne county, by swallowing Paris green and oil of hemlock. Ground for a new dormitory at Buck-nell University, Lewisburg, will be broken Monday afternoon. The build-ing will accommodate 100 students. Unknown parties set fire to the Inde-pendent Polish Catholic Church, at Plymouth, Luzerne county, but the flames were extinguished by a bucket brigade. W. C- Frantz, of Neff's, has his incu-bators running continually and has or- ' ders on hand till June. He has 1300 chicks in brooders. Zacharius Nonemacher, engineer of the Lehigh Valley shifter, Allentown, fell from his locomotive and sustained serious injuries about the head. John H, Focht, a native of Lebanon, Pa,, for many years city editor of the Reading Times, died at Reading, of nervous prostration, aged 48. The Berks County Agricultural So-ciety has adopted a resolution request-ing the local members of the Legislature to support the Pool bill, now pending." Because of a disposition of some of the members of Select Council to oppose police appointments, - Mayor-elect Schaadt, of Allentown, refuses *'to ap-point a chief and assistant chiefs, and the Republican incumbents will hold over temporarily. Freight trains collided on the Read-ing Railway, near Birdsboro Saturday and four cars were wrecked. The increase of ten per cent, in the wages of the several thousand; iron workers around Lebanon went into ef-fect on Saturday. The body of James Boyle, a member of Troop A, of the Rough Riders, killed in the charge on San Juan Hill on July 1, has been brought to Lansford and was buried there Sunday with military honors. You feel the blood rushing along. But what kind of blood? That is the question. Is it pure blood or impure blood? If the blood is impure then you are weak and languid; your appetite is poor and your digestion is weak. You can-not sleep well and the morn-ing finds you unprepared for the work of the day. Your cheeks are pale and your com-plexion is sallow. You are troubled with pimples, boils, i or some eruption of the skin.' Why not purify your blood ? Graiu-O Brings Relief to the coffee drinker. Coffee drinking is a habit that is universally indulged in and almost as universally injurious. Have you tried Grain-O ? *It is almost like coffee but the effects are just the opposite. Coffee upsets the stomach, ruins the digestion, effects the heart and disturbs the whole nervous system. Grain-0 tones up the stomach, aids di-gestion and strengthens the nerves. There is nothing but nourishment in Grain-O. It can't be otherwise. 15 and 25c. per package. 4 will do it. Take it a few days and then put your finger on your pulse again.
