Methodist Church last night was of a temperance character.Principal True- man presided and was the principal speaker.\u201cHow can local temperance conditions be improved?\u201d was the subject.In order to accomplish anything, the speaker said, temperance workers must have faith in the uiti- mate triumph of the cause.In view of the duty of the strong to the weak he thought the man capable of taking one drink and then letting it alone should \u201ccut it right out.\u201d The leading business firms as well as the railway corporations were with the temperance workers.President Wilson had decreed that liquors should not be used in the White House during his term of office.Principal Trueman spoke of the danger of tripping on some little thing after nerving one\u2019s self up to

ashamed to have the heathen know about it.Rev.T.A.Halpenny, speaking of one municipality eaid he bad been told that a sort of combination existed between the council, the saloon keepers and police force.Several others spoke briefly, and the feeling was expressed that the license law was not being observed.There was some talk of a county campaign, to see if the saloon cannot be voted out.The

shoe tramp and sugar on snow on Wednesday evening from four to six.The day was ideal in overy respect, making it a pleasent outing and especially pleasant to have the sugar- ing-off in the open air.The party was well attended and it was quite evident all enjoyed themselves, some tasting sugar on snow for the firet time in their experience.The young ladies are to be congratulated on the excellent success of their venture, COATICOOK.The Coaticook Cemetery Company held its annual meeting on Tuesday last.The report showed a balance of about 800 in the treasury, a part of which was set aside to be used for the improvement of the grounds, under the direction of the executive.The efforts of the defeated candidate for Stanstead County in the last general election for the removal of the Coaticook Post master has at last been crowned with success through the diemissal of Post-master O.M.Moal- ton and securing of his own appointment to that position.Weather continues fine at this writ.ng.IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.An important deal has just been consummated in Newport, by which the jewelry business conducted for the past thirteen years by True & Blanchard Company is transferred to P.C.Davis and Roy Skinner, who will conduct the same in the present location under the firm name of Davis & Skinner.Mr.Davis who for some time has been employed by True & Blanchard Co.in the capacity of watchmaker, jeweler, and optometrist has had ten or twelve years successful business experience on his own account, and is a most thorough, careful, efficient, pains-taking, and competent man in his profession.Mr.Skinner is well known as one of Newport\u2019s hustling young business men, who has already demonstrated his ability in this re- epect, and both men are entitled to the esteem and confidense, not only of Newport citizens, but also of the many who make Newport their shopping headquarters.It is with much regret that True & Blanchard Co.part with the business, which from a small beginning they bave developed to such a splendid state of efficiency, and it is only because of the rapid development of the other branches of their business, particularly of the Monarch Sugar Tool industry and automobile accessory department, which demands the entire time and energy of both Mr.True and Mr.Akin, that they are induced to part with the jewelry business, of which they have been justly proud.The china department heretofore conducted in the rear of the jewelry store will be moved to commodious quarters in the basement store, which are now being fitted up and where the same can be conducted to much better advantage to both proprietors and patrons than has been heretofore possible.Relieved of the responsibility of the department dispoeed of, True & Blgn- ceard Co.will bend every effort toward the further development of their other lines of business, which already enjoys an en¥iable reputation far and wide.\u2018In addition to the regular jewelry store as heretofore conducted, Davis and Skinner will equip in the near future first class optical parlors in 8 part of the room heretofore occupied as a china store, and which will be directly connected with the jewelry store, further particulars concerning which announcements will be made in the near fature.In the meantime, the optical business will be conducted in present quarters.A hen belonging to

\u201cdemon cargo\u201d of the steamship Hardy was written into the records of the king's bench, through the testimony of her captain.On a voyage from Treport with a large cargo of mineral waters, consigned to a London firm, water reached a quantity of metallic sodium, which was also a part of the cargo, setting it afire, The captain, not being aware of the nature of the sodium, played the hose on it, with the result that two | tons of it were set afire, and there was a series of explosions.Nonplused, the captain ordered all of the cases of sodium heaved Into the sea.When this was done the force of explosion of the sodium in contact with the water caused several of the cases to jump back again aboard the ship and the vessel itself caught fire.There was another explosion In the cargo, which caused the vessel to break amidships and sink.The mate was drowned, but the captain and crew were saved.The story came out in an action for damages against the steamship com pany for the loss of the mineral water.The court awarded the plaintiff $6,000 damages, with costs, and re marked to the captain that he seemed to have had the \u201cdevil among the tallors when the water got in.\u201d ROSSETTI'S GRAVE IN DECAY Almost Hidden From View by a Clump of Bushes Opposite Church Porch.London.\u2014It ls only some 31 years since Rossetti dled and already the grave of the poet painter has fallen Into a condition of decay.Pilgrims to Birchington, the quiet little annex to noisy Margate, generally have some difficulty in finding the grave, as it is almost completely hidden from view by a clump of bushes immediately opposite the church porch, The memorial takes the form of a runic cross, which was designed by Ford Madox Drown and the cost of which was partly provided by Chris tina Rossetti.The epitaph engraved upon the base of the cross is: \u201cHere sieeps Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti, honored under the name of Dante Gabriel Rossetti among painters as a painter and among poets as a poet.\u201cBorn in London of parentage main.ty Italian, 12th May, 1828.Died at Birchington 8th April, 1882\" On the stone siab are representations of the meeting of Dante and Beatrice, the

L.Robinson, an ice manufacturer, was con nered the other day by a large and ferocious rat in the bathroom at his home.The rodent, which was as big as an ordinary cat, appeared in the room unexpectedly and sprang at Robinson, who found it necessary to put up a stift battle, which lasted ful.ty five minutes The rat finally darted through a hole.leaving the ice man practically exhausted.SCARFS AND SLIPPER BA.May Be Made by Aay Ons Clever With the Needls, and Ars Pretty for Presents.four young friends probably noec many dainty accessories which are necessary Lo the party frock.A party frock is always acceptable.Purchase white crepe de chine, chiffon or mousseline de sole the desired length.Fringe the ends and knot the tringe, so that it does not become matted.Now from pale pink silk or satin cut wild roses and applique them to form a border on the scarf ends.To accomplish successfully, use the long-and-short stitch with pink embroidery silk.The centers and stamens should be worked with green silk.The border may be of any color to match the gown with which the scarf is to be worn.Slipper bags always are much admired by girls.If one were made to match the scarf the gift would be complete.From the white material make a bag In the usual way and ap plique several wild roses on one side.Line it with white silk and run a cord or narrow ribbon through the top.The exquisite squares of Japanese embroidery for sale in all art depart ments make lovely party bags.At the remnant counters you can procure odd lengths of gorgeous brocaded silks too small to use for anything but slipper bags.If these are daintily lined and drawn together with a cord to match the brocade, they are most effective.Short lengths of lovely ribbon can be joined by overcasting the selvages together, forming a strip wide enough for the slipper bag.Plain and figured ribbon are frequently combined in this manner.Two or three strips of ribbon are required to produce the neces sary width.Strips of lace insertion joined to ribbon also make a pretty bag.A visit to the remnant counter will supply you with materials to fashion a party bag for each of your young friends, and they will cost you a comparatively small amount.FINE NEW TABLE FURNISHINGS Artistic Novelties Are Handsome and Make Very Little Demand on the Pocketbook.Don\u2019t despise the novelties tn sik ver, Mra.Young

and illustrated his discourse by plucking a shamrock.This pretty little plant is always closely associated with the patron saint of Ireland.A cluster of three shamrocks is dainty and artistio They

distinct forms.One model ie merely a large-sized silk bandanna knotted at the corners into a shape to fit the head, and easily rendered larger or smaller to suit the coiffure.Another form of the draped golf cap is made of a square of soft but thick silk, attached to a foundation band, shaped to fit smoothly about the crown of the head, is covered with heavy sllk embellished with embroidery floss or braided with finest soutache, and to its upper edge across the rear half 1s fulled one side of the silk square.When the remainder of the handkerchief 1s brought forward and tacked down to the fronmt'of the head band and the two loose corners are joined under the hair at the nape of the neck, the effect is that of a Dutch cap and vastly becomes a youthful face.Collar of Ivory 8quarss, for a

are essentially feminine.They want our dress, our education, our freedom, our happiness.Dress, it will be observed, comes first in the catalogue of feminine wants, but a change of dress or coiffure seems essential to all revolutionary movements.In Teheran, in place of the face veil of white cloth, the Persian new woman now wears a small square of black net or woven horse hair; her shoes have high heels; & European skirt has taken the place of the short skirt and narrow trousers; the head ker chief is being abandoned.One lady tried to introduce an outfit to take the place of the \u201cchuddur,\u201d leaving the face heavily veiled; but it was too revolutionary even for Teheran, and, after being mistaken for the ex- Shah in disguise, the wearer reverted In disgust to more orthodox clothes.In her home the new woman offers cigarettes instead of the water pipe\u2014Moslem World.How the Eiffel Tower Moves.That the Eiffel Tower moves dally in a vertical and horizontal sense has long been beyond doubt.Apart from the scientific laws of expansion and contraction, which inevitably affected it, one could see it during a gale swaying from side to side.But its vertical movements were a mere matter of conjecture until M.Guillaume undertook to investigate them.He shows that the great iron structure may vary an inch in height every day.The elevation or depression 1s not equally distributed, as ônly one of its sides may be affected by the rise or fall of the temperature, and thus the tower may be compared to a person shifting his weight alternately from one foot

E.REXFORD.) -_ If any plants become sick, remove Frequently we lose our dahlias, them at once.and cannas because we neglect to! give them attention.We take fit for granted that they are \u201call right\u201d and by-and-by we discover that they are \u201call wrong.\u201d It does not take long to destroy these tubers after a diseased condition has set in.The thing to do is to watch them so olosely that the first indications of trouble are seen, and prompt measures may be taken to prevent development.In too damp and cold a cellar the tubers become moldy, and this means decay, a little later on.When the first touch of mold is seen move the tubers to a warmer location.1 do this by spreading them out on gewinging racks of wire netting, suspended midway between the floor and the ceiling, first going over them, one by one, and removing every portion that shows any sign of being moldy.Spread them out in such a manner that they will not touch one another.If the trouble continues, it may be advisable to remove them from the cellar, wrap each root in paper, and store in a frost-proof closet, or cupboard.But, generally, a place near the ceiling will be sufficient to prevent a spread o! the disease.Stone cellars are so dry and warm that the tubers wither in them, or start into growth at a season when | growth means ultimate ruin.In such cases, it Is well to give them a place on the floor, in a dark corner, or, if the temperature cannot be kept down, remove them to a cooler place, above ground.The man who has due regard for the welfare of' his vegetables will Dever allow his cellar to become warm enough to encourage growth during Night Blooming Cereus, opening under electric light at night.The camera was exposed 30 minutes and the flower Is shown In various stages of blossoming.t'e winter season, and the ventilation which is given, with a view of keeping vegetables In good condition, will very likely prove equally beneficial to all tubers stored therein.Plants in pots, or tubs, should be kept quite dry.Not exactly dust dry, but still so dry that there is but little evidence of moisture ir the soil, when the hand is used as a test.It water were to be applied while the plants are in cold storage quite likely premature growth would result, and this is just what we do not want to happen.The aim should be to keep the cellar-stored plants per tectly dormant, by keeping them cool, and dry, and in the dark.The window garden ought to be showing some flowers this month, especially the geraniums.Give them the sunniest place.They need strong light to bring out their rich colors fully.It 1s a good plan to put the tall plants at the sides of the window, with the smaller ones between.In this way all get an equal chance at the sunshine.We are generally so anxious to show off our largest plants, that we give them front places, and the smaller oncs have to take up such light as they can get.This is not fair to the little fellows.In order to do their best, they must be given just as good treatment as the others receive.If favoritism is practiced in the window garden, we must expeot our plants to be of varying merit Their disease may not be conta glous, but it is not good policy to keep sick plants together, for each will need a different treatment, and one that cannot be given satisfactorily while they are together.If a plant appears unhealthy and I cannot diagnose its trouble I allow it to become rather dry and remain in that condition for some time.On no account give any fertilizer.In many cases the plant will recover its health after a period of enforced rest.If it does not seem likely to do this, throw it out.We cannot afford to make plant hospitals of our living room windows.Nine times out of ten hanging plants quffer from lack of water.Because of their suspension, it is not an easy matter to get at them to water them, : and this leads to neglect on our part.Keep hanging-plants as well watered as those in the window sill, and they will grow just as luxuriantly.You may start planning and doing for next summer's display, by making cuttings during the winter.If a geranium sends out an ambitl- ous shoot, make a cutting of it.If the shoots appear too thickly upon any part of the plant cut them off, or, at least, the crowding ones.Often shoots appear at the base of the plant, and these should be removed when they destroy the symmetry of the plant.Don't let the temperature get too high and too dry, or the red spider ~ will appear.i The Genista, with its abundant pea- shaped blossoms of gold, is easy of cultivation.Its flowers are very fra- gor consumption, an alleged discovery grant.It requires lots of moisture, at root, and top.It likes plenty of liquid- manure, when in flower.If you try to crowd too many plants ; in a small window, you will be disappointed with the results, and the plants will not do well.One well developed plant will give far more satisfaction than a dozen sick ones.There are people who believe that that which nourishes humans will do the same for the plants.Hence, they feed their plants with castor oil! Nothing could Le more absurd and useless.There are three things to observe in raising foliage plants, like ferns and palms, give them plenty of light and Httle direct sunshine.Don't give them too much water, and neither too little water.A friend says that the small yellow ants, which had been troubling her violets, were routed by two applications of tobacco water.She soaked a plug of chewing tobacco in a quart of water overnight.In the morning she used a tooth brush to apply the tobacco water to the under side of the leaves and the soil about the plants.Sometimes, when we do not get at them, more of the water we apply runs\u2019 off than on, and the soil be comes dry in a short time.It fs a good plan to have the basket suspended by a cord running on a pulley in the ceiling.The end of the cord can be fastened to a hook in the wall, or the window frame, It 1s an easy matter to lower the basket into a tub of water, once a week, or as often as may seem necessary.Allow it to remain in the tub until it has absorbed all the water it can take up.Of course, there will be a great deal of drip from ft after it has been raised from the tub, but the lover of plants will not mind this Productive Hens.Mrs.Cale 8.Myers, Westmoreland county, Pa., reports as follows: \u201cThe product from our 8.C.Rhode Island Red hens, 376 in the flock, for December, 1913, was 2,148 eggs.For the year It was 38584 eggs.Any one doubting the figures may come out to the farm.We have the credentials to show them.\u201d Age to Breed Gi!te.Let the gilts grow till they are at least 18 months old before breeding them.Being nearer maturity they will raise stronger, more virile pigs develop into much more desirable sows and possess a greater capacity for milk READ A HALF HOUR A DAY How a Housewife With intelligence Kept Herself From Drifting Into a Dull, 01d Woman.A woman who has brought up a big family on a small income, yet has managed to keep mentally alert, says it is due to a Half-Hour club.This club bas as its fixed rule that half an hour each day must be spent in solid reading.There was a leeway of 24 hours, after that there was a fine of five cents each day for failure to get through the prescribed reading.Twice a month the club meets for discussion of the reading done and to collect fines of delinquents and spur them on to fresh effort.The woman who told of this club says: \u201cNo one knows what lt has meant to me.woman in a family of boys, have a bushel basket of stockings to darn weekly, six children to sew for, lessons to be heard, it is a big temptation to stop reading entirely or to fritter spare minutes on novels.That | half hour a day of solid reading has kept me up with the times, has rested my body and stimulated my brain, and, best of all, it has kept me from drifting into a dull old woman, of whom my sons might love, but would pity for her ignorance, Especially If you live in a small town is such a club of importance.It is easy to stagnate, unless a conscious effort is made.The winter season is the time to start such a club among yours neighbors.Do not be cantent with planning a half-hour reading dally for yourself.You will never hold panionship and the broadening interest of the fortnightly meetings.WHEN PINS WERE VALUABLE In Years Gone By, the Humble Household Utensil Was Glven Muck Consideration.The custom of making presents on New Yea's day is now practically ob: | solete among English speaking people, the day of gift giving now being Christmas.When pins were first invented and brought into use about the beginning of the sixteenth century they were a New Year's ~ift very \u201cpin money.\u201d \u2018 gince been extended to money.settled | by a husband on his marriage for the !

Passover, cams to Bethany where Lasa- rus was, whom he raised from the dead.\u2014 John 13:1.We are now in the season of Lent, so-called from the period of the year when the days begin to lengthen.It is a period of forty days beginning with Ash Wednesday, and oontinu- ing until Easter, observed by some churches as commemorative of the forty days\u2019 fasting of our Saviour in the wilderness.It is the time in which particular emphasis Is laid In preaching upon the substi- tutionary obedience and sufferings of our Divine Redeemer, and when in thought, we follow him from the temptation in the wilderness to the triumphant issue of the resurrection morn- In harmony with this, our present sermon deals with one of the tender est events of à social nature occurring In the last week of his earthly life.\u201cThen Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany.\u201d Then he did it If you would understand the significance of the word \u201cthen,\u201d you must go back to the previous chapter, which tells us that all the people were gathering to Jerusalem for the passover, and all anfinated more or less by the thought as to whether he would come to the feast, for the chief priests and pharisees had given a commandment that if any man knew where he were, he shduld show fit, that they might take him.Then ft was that he came.Before this on different occasions he had hidden himself from his enemies, not through cowardice or fear, but because his hour had not yet come, he was not yet ready to be offered, the Scripture had not yet been fulfilled.Now, however, the crisis 1a approaching, and he advances consciously to met his cruel death.\u201cIf ever there were a calm, voluntary, deliberate walking up to death, it was this last visit of Jesus into Judea.\u201d Sympathy With Jesus.But why 18 it that he seeks out this little village two miles from Jerusalem, and spends so much of his inter vening time there?Perbaps the fol lowing words supply the reason, since we read that Lazarus was there, whom he had raised from the dead.Jesus loved Lazarus and his house hold, and, doubtless, Mke ourselves, he llked to be as much as possible with those he loved.If we knew we were soon to die, with whom would we like to pass the closing moments of our life, if not with those who understood us best and who sympathized with us the most?Jesus, re member, was a man.Not merely a man, but yet a man\u2014a perfect man.And it is just such touches of his humanity that bring him so near to us, and solace us with the thought that in him we have an high priest who can be touched with a feeling of our infirmities.But what about our sympathy for Jesus, now that we are sure of his sympathy for us?Does he ever find a Bethany in our homes and hearts?He îs still in some sense exposed to the persecution of his enemies in the earth, for the kingdoms of this world have not yet become the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ.An apos tle speaks of some who \u201ccrucify our Lord afresh, and put him to an open shame.\u201d If this be so, then he still loks for a quiet haven, and a minis tration of love from those whom he hath quickened when they were dead in trespasses and sins.Is ft so with us?A Strong Bible Proof.I onnont leave this verse without calling attention to it as one of the most convincing arguments of the truth of Christianity.What significance there 18 In these words: \u201cBethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead.whom he raised from the dead.\u201d There is evidence that this gospel was known In Jerusalem at least within seventy years after this raising of Lazarus occurred.There are grounds for believing, indeed.that it was published within thirty to forty years of that date.Surely there must bave been persons then, and there, who could personally have testified to the falsity of the whols thing If 1C were false! We cannot Imagine any such event occurring in the neighborhood of Chicago, for example, not longer ago than that, and our be ing unable to find anybody to deny it frem personal knowledge, If it wore to be denied?But has the resureec.tion of Lazarus ever been denied?Let the silence of the Jewish nation.and the Gentile world answer.So far from the enemies of Jesus disbeliev ing this mighty fact, they so enttrely belleved that they consulted how they might put Lazarus to death, because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away and believed op Tesus JED INDIAN CHIEF Movement Started to Remove Body of Warrior to Florida.Remains of Osceola, a Seminole Brave, May Be Interred in State He Se Passionately Adored\u2014Act May Reconcile Tribe to U.8.Charleston, 8.C\u2014The question of the removal of the remains of Osceola, the 1ll-starred Seminole chief, trom Sullivan's Island, opposite the city of Charleston, 8.C., to Florida, is now having considerable discussion.The leading agitator of the matter is Mrs.Minnie Moore Wilson of Kissimmee?Fla.Mrs.Wilson is the autbor of the book, \u201cThe Seminoles of Florida.\u201d She has made an exhaustive study of the question.She understands thoroughly the dialect of the Seminoles.It is a fact but little known that there is still a remnant of the Sem} noles living in the Everglades of Florida.After the capture of Osceola and their final defeat, they were driven further into the fastness of these swamps.Since coming nearer the bounds of civilization, unlike other Indians, they have not sought alliance with the white race, but have kept themselves rigidly secluded.Mrs.Wilson makes eloquent plea for the removal of the remains of Osceola on the ground that he was a Florida patriot, and that his body should rest in the gofl of the land he passionately adored.She cites the fact that there are many people tn Florida who do not look upon Osceola &s the tricky and bloodthirsty savage he has been so often pictured, but as à hero\u2014the \u201cHero of the Seven Years\u2019 War.\u201d One county has already honored him by taking his name, and it is at the county seat of this county, Kis- simmee, that Mrs.Wilson would have his remains receive a final resting Osceola\u2019s Grave at Fort Moultrie place.But a deeper reason is disclosed, It is believed that by thus doing honor to their long-departed chief, the Seminoles, who adore the memory of Osceola, can be brought into amicable relations with the whites.As it is now, because of the treatment a&corded Osceola by the United States government, no Seminole will Ifsten to any proposition that comes from that government.Thus every effort to better their condition, to settle them in comfortable bomes, even to hold a parley with them is successfully frustrated.Osceola was born about 18083.RESULT OF 50 YEARS\u2019 LABOR Old Woman Buys Clock Valued at 84,100 for Village Church in Husband's Memory.Geneva\u2014In the church at Brem- garten, in the Canton of Argovis, a clock that has cost $4,100 has just been placed, the gift of an old woman who labored for fifty years to save the money to pay for it.The clock has been put in the steeple of the church, and when it was Installed all the officials of the village took part in the ceremony.The old woman who gave the clock 18 76 years of age.Her husband died when she was 24.She was then the village beauty, but instead of marry ing again\u2014her husband had left her penniless\u2014she earned her own living by working as a household servant or in the fields.She tolled for half a century, and obtained the reputation among the villagers of belng a miser.The object of her self-denial was revealed when she presented the clock as a memorial of her husband to the vil lage, and now, Instead of being an ob- Ject of ridicule, she is the heroine of the place.BILL FOR MARRIAGE BANNS Introduced In Nebraska House Calla for Complete Publicity Before Ceremony.Lincoln, Neb.\u2014A bill to compel the publication of wedding banns was in troduced In the Nebraska house.It provides that persons desiring to se cure ®& marriage license must, through the probate court, give all necessary information, statistical and historical, of the man and woman, which is to be published In a paper of general circulation five days before the Ii cense can be issued.Sacrifice Saves Girl, Pittsburg, Pa.\u2014Margaret Williama, fourteen, was expected to live as a result of more than twenty-two square inches of skin being grafted to her body from the arms of thirty-two men who had volunteered to aid in an ef fort to save her life.' Bremerton angrily.the metropolitan press out here?\u201d WHEN HE RETURNEL Human Interest Story of Broken Financier\u2019s Home-Coming.By JOHN LINFOOT.Bremerton, huddled up in kis seat, looked out of the window of the West bound Limited.Neat farm houses, well tilled fields, flew past, with sleek cattle that looked up, munching contentedly, out of the lush grasses.It was the prairie country of lowa, the re- glon of black earth and farmlands, the nation\u2019s dairy and the center of her agricultural wealth, Boys with pitchforks, farm-hands seated above their harrows, guiding the draught horses, glanced carelessly at the speeding train and turned to their work once more.They were contented with their lot.Such might have been Bremerton\u2019s.And he, who, until two months before, had been a man feared and respected in the greatest part of America, a power in Wall street, against whom a host had banded themselves and barely pre- vailed\u2014be found himself almost envy- tng these countrymen.\u201cIt looks Nike my home country,\u201d be reflected, as he caught sight of a distant range of low hills, blue in the haze of the afternoon.\u201cAnd to think that I might have been living here, perhaps with my few acres, happy, never knowing or caring of anything that lay behind these hills!\u201d The train slowed, drew into the station, waited a few moments, and then puffed out again A man came into the carriage and stopped at Bremer- ton's side.The financier looked up with a start and unconcealed impatience.\u201cExcuse me, sir, but are you John Bremerton?\u201d asked the other.\u201cWell?\u201d Bremerton demanded curt- \u201clI was sure that I was on your track.I knew I had recognized you.I want the inside story of the failure of the Cornucopia bank.I am a representative of the Iowa Free-Soiler.\u201d \u201cGood Lord, man, that story has been printed in every newspaper between here and Kingdom Come,\u201d said \u201cDon't you read \u201c0 yes, indeed,\u201d sald the reporter, smiling, \u201cbut you know, Mr.Bremer ton, that the story has never come from your own -lips.You have succeeded in secluding yourself from all the newspaper men.Now ft would be a great feather in my cap if you would give me an exclusive interview.\u201d Bremerton softened a little.With the loss of his fortune, the wreck of all his hopes, with nothing at all saved out of the ruin, why should he aot at least be instrumental in bringing a fragment of reputation to this young man at his side, whose per- tUnaclous good humor had already won his sympathy.\u201cYou see, sir,\u201d the reporter contin- ged, \u201cof course we have all the de- lails of the failure.We know that fou were made the victim of an un- serupulous gang of financiers who wanted your properties.Nobody has pver breathed & word against your reputation.When the crash came you went back, faced the music, and came sut with flying colors.But what are you going to do now?You are an fowa man by birth, are you not?And you never married, Mr.Bremerton?Have you come back to settle in your state and marry your first sweet heart?I want a real human story.\u201d \u201cA real human story!\u201d repeated Bremerton mechanically, and smiled a little bitterly at the irony of events which had left his life, except for his widened experience, just where it had been when he had left Framington, a penniless country boy, fifteen years before.And his first sweetheart\u2014 Lizsie Gray! She was only fifteen then and he twenty-one, but he was going to become rich and famous in the metropolis\u2014perhaps he would even make twenty dollars a week\u2014 and then, when that miracle occurred, he was going to send her the fare to come to him, and they would live hap- Dily ail their lives.He had written\u2014 every day for a month, then every other day, then twice a week, once a week, once a month; after a year his letters ceased.After two years he had stopped thinking of her.He had heard, not long afterward, that she was married.\u201cFramington! Change here for Des Moines!\u201d shouted the conductor, and Bremertoa started up hastily and seized his suit case.He had taken passage to Des Moines, although he had been indifferent where he went.Now that he reflected, he had selected that place, subconsciously, as it were, because the train passed through Framington.He had wanted to see the old town again.Standing upon the platform he found the reporter at his elbow.He had entirely forgotten him.\u201cI'm afraid there's a wait of two hours for the Des Moines train,\u201d he sald.\u201cWe just missed the connec tion.Now, Mr.Bremerton, won't you please help me with that story?It will mean a great deal to me, sir.\u201d Bremerton was & man of quick de cisions.He pulled out his watch.\u201cThree o'clock.\u201d he said, glancing at the dial.He turned to the other \u201cMy son,\u201d he said, \u201cI'm going to take an hour's stroll through the old place Perhaps it will get me Into a senti mental mood, or a reminiscent one If it does\u2014well, I'll be back at four and I'll give you that story.\u201d He strolled out of the station.Ex cept that a few new buildings had sprung up It was astonishing how Iit tle the town bad changed during the fifteen years of his absence.Here was the old, Irregular, street.with its stores\u2014he even remembered the vames of them.There was Jim Haw ley.the carpenter, stil] bending over his bench, industrious as ever;

LIQUOR TRAFFIC IS A CURSE Federa! Judge In West Virginia Dls- trict Makes Scathing Arrdign- ment of Saloonkespers.In a charge to the grand jury of the federal court in Wheeling, Judge Als ton G.Dayton of the United States oourt for the northern district of West Virginia delivered a scatbing arraignment of the liquor trafic.Among other things he said: It has been my experience, in the seven years I have occupied this position on the bench, that violations of the internal revenue law are ten times &8 many as all the other offenses against the laws of the United States put together.Why?Because, funda mentally, the sale\u2018 of intoxicating liquor 18 not a legitimate and honest business, and no man can be an honest man who engages in it.It isn\u2019t honest to destroy a man.It isn't honest to take away the bread and butter of helpless women and children.Gentle men, it isn't honest for any man to geome into your household and take the bright, strong, vigorous son and fead him on and on until he becomes a disgrace to you, an annoyance to his fellowmen and finally lands in a drunkard\u2019s grave.And yet there isn\u2019t a single saloonkeeper's saloon in this country that does not send every year fts man to a drunkard\u2019s grave, and more than that; and when dishonest men once get into a business it is the hardest thing in the world to make them stop.I want to say that there is not a very great deal of distinction between the man, in my deliberate judgment, who stands up, and for revenue pur poses, votes to license the saloon, and the man who conducts the saloon.The good Christian people who go to the polls and vote for license are the power behind the throne; they are the power behind the saloon, because it they did not vote for license the fellow could not run his saloon.I tefl you in this country, gentlemen, the ory comes up, as it came up to Calin, the blood of our fellowmen cries out from the ground to God Almighty; the victims of this traffic in every cemetery and every graveyard in this country cry out to God against us, you and me, who have permitted this traf- fice to exist so long.See to it that in this court all violations of the revenue laws are thoroughly investigated, and that, so far as we can see, we put ourselves on the side of utter and complete and absolute condemnation of the whole business, from start to finish.BOY'S ANSWER WAS VERY APT Particular Brand of Whisky Was Like Bridge Because It Leads to Poorhouse and Cemetery.A liquor dealer in the town of Ayr, fn Scotland, had a particular brand of whisky, which he wished to advertise.One day the circus was coming to town, and to add Interest to its per formances, and to advertise his whis ky.he offered a prize for the best answer to the question, \u201cWhy his par ticular brand of whisky resembled a certain bridge across the water of Ayr?Just over the bridge were some public institutions.The successful competitor proved to be a poor boy, who, perhaps, knew from experience what he was speak: ing of, and his answer to the question, \u201cWhy the publican\u2019s whisky was like the bridge\u201d was \u201cBecause it leads to the poorhouse, the lunatic asylum and the cemetery.\u201d DEPRIVED OF EDUCATION, The following figures refer to the state of Massachusetts in 1910: Total population of all no-lt- cense cities and towns.1,497,722 Total number of high school pupils in all no-license cities and towns \u2026.84633 Number of pupils in high schools of no-license places for each 1,000 population.23.12 Total population of all license cities and towns .1,883,924 Total number of high school pupils in all lcense cities and towns .81,707 Number of pupils in high schools of license places, for each 1,000 population.16.83 Greater number of pupils in no license places, for each 1,000 population .ves 6.29 Difference in favor of no-license, 87 per cent, Keep the boys and girls in school by keeping out the saloon.In these days of increasing competition, your boy or girl wil need the advantage that a high school training gives New Slavery for China.China, which so long has wuffered from the oplum curse, though free from the legal clutches of that monster, is fast coming under the rule of King Alcohol.Liquor ie there char acterized as \u201cnew Jesus poison,\u201d \u201cGerman poison,\u201d et cetera, to dis tinguieh it from the English poison, oplum.It is reported, too, that millions of cigarettes dipped în oplum have been given away by Americans to try to create an appetite among the Chinese youth for the double poisons.{VALUE OF GOOD BULL Must Have Good Breeding for the Best Results.Most Practical Way le for Dalryman to Bresd His Own Cows\u2014Impor- tant Matter Is to Find Results Given, in Milk Pall, On the majority of the dairy farms we find a herd of grade cows.R is Impossible for everyone to own purebred cows, but it is possible for all to build up their herds to a standard where they are practically the equal of pure bred.Every dalryman who is the owner of a herd of grade cows should be cognizant of the fact that there is nothing so important, so far as improving the herd is concerned, as a pure-bred bull that shows all of the desirable characteristics.It 18 a fact that the influences of the bull are equal to those of the cow when both are of the same standard; but when the cows are of a low grade the bull's influence is just as much greater as his qualities are superior to those of the cows.However, if the bull be not up to the grade of the cow, the progeny will show a retrogression, says a writer in the Farm Progress.Hence the importance of having a bull that is superior to the cows so that there may be a continuous tendency toward improvement so far as the progeny is concerned.The individuality of the bull repre sents 50 per cent.of the breeding value of the herd at the beginning of a system of breeding for improve ment of the standard of the herd, but by continuing after the first cross and working until a standard equal to the pure breed is secured we must admit that the bull really represents 100 per cent.of the breeding value.His superior qualities are what have builded up the herd.The most practical way for the dairyman who cannot afford to pay the high prices that breeders ask for their pure-bred cows to secure a first- elass producing herd, is to breed his best cows to a bull of known virtues and then raise the heifer calves.By breeding them properly it will only be a few generations until he will have a herd that is practically as val uable as one composed of pure-blood- ed animals.Before beginning any system of breeding the dairyman should ac quaint himself with the record of the results given In the milk pail by the bull's dam, for that fs what he le.breeding for.Remember that the bull will transmit any weak points more readily than the strong points, which is proof that the keeper should Know just what sort of ancestors the bull may have had.EASY MONEY FOR ONE GIRL Young Lady Manages to Plock Up Quite a Elt of Change During 8um- mer by Selling Flowers.(By ANNA MARSH.)

Are Allowed to Run in Open During Lhmbing Season Task of Shepherd Is Made More Difficult Than When Properly Housed\u2014Construct Temporary Pens.The busiest time in the whole year for the sheep: raiser is when the lambs are being dropped, alung in the latter part of the winter.The actual profits of the whole years sheep raising are really being made at this time, and the shepherd is forced to work about twenty-four hours out of every twenty-four, for a week or two.During February and March, and sometimes during the last days of January, the good shepherd finds that practically every hour of his time is being taken up by the lambing ewes, says a Kentucky writer in the Farm Progress.Lantern in hand, he must visit the sheep once or twice during the night.When, they are being allowed to run in the open his task is two and three {imes as dificult as when the sheep are being corralled in sheds and pens every night.In order that help and care may be given every ewe and lamb that may need it, I try to visit every sheep In the flock about three or four times daily.During the day, while the sheep may be on the pasture, constant watching is necessary, as the ewes are likely to drop their lambs in some remote part of the pasture.There are & number of things that may happen to the disadvantage of RE GSTs, Sor SRT the out-of-the-way cerners, lambs may be unnoticed.They instinctively lie in half-concealment during the first hours of their existence.When a lamb is left in this way when the sheep are corralled for the night, he is apt to wander off somewhere, tangle himself in the briers of a fence corner, or fall into some hole where he will not be found till after he has starved to death.Cold and exposure will kill a lamb ir a few hours, during the frosty nights.Early in the winter months in which the lambs are to be expected I set apart as much of the sheep sheds and shelters as can possibly be spared and divide them off into temporary pens.These I use for the ewes immediately after they have dropped their lambs.This year I took a space four feet wide along the east wall of a long sheep ehed and fenced it off from the rest of the interior.By dividing this long spacu into little pens, five feet long, 1 made room for a dozen ewes and their lambs.A space four by five feet is plenty big enough to hold & mother and her lamb comfortably for a night aud a day.When a ewe and lamb are brought in I put them in these pens for the night.A little feed for the mother and a bucket of water to help A Flock That the young lamb and his mother.The unnatural ewe, and there are such, will walk away from the chilled youngster and leave him to starve upless she is watched.I have known ewes with twins to hurry away with one lamb following and leave the other one lying half asleep out in the wind somewhere.Unless some care is taken in Icoking over the pasture and through Returns Profits.allay her feverish thirst are all the attention she will need for the next 24 hours.When the weather is raw and bad I leave them in the pens longer than when the ground is firm and the sun is out.A cold rain on the tender skin of a young lamb is about the worst thing that can happen to him.Very few survive it.600D RATION FOR FATTENING FOWLS Hens Should Be Fed Just About What They Will Clean Up in Ten Minutes.A good feed on which to fatten fowls is two parts of fine corn meal and one part of wheat middlings.This should be mixed into a thick batter, mixing it just thick enough that it will drop freely from a wooden spoon or paddle.Feed in troughs, having trough room enough so the fowls will not crowd.Watch the fowls closely and feed just about as much as they will eat clean In ten or fifteen minutes, then take away the troughs and clean them.If this batter 18 mixed with skimmed milk, sweet or sour, or but termilk, it will be more valuable.It water be used add to the mixture about 5 per cent.of the dry weight of the feed materials in beef scrap.Gradually allow the hens to eat a little longer but never let them eat until they stop of their own accord.Feed three times a day and in from 14 to 21 days the fowls will be finished and should be sold at once, as after they are finished they gain weight so slowly, it at all, that it is not profitable to feed them.No water should be given under this system of feeding as the batter fed to them has enough water for the needs of the fowls eating it This sounds very simple but a beginner will find that in practice it is not as simple as it seems.Individual fowls will go off their feed and must be taken out, and some will finish quicker than others and should be re moved from the pen.Bometimes It is advisable to remove some of the fowls and reduce the feed given them in or der to hold them back for the later ones.All these things present problems that can not very well be solved in print.With a little care there should be no great difficulty and the operator soon becomes expert in se lecting the finished fowls and determining by observation how the work is coming on.Work for the Teams.It 18 advisable to keep the teams at work whencver possible, because st! helps to pay for their keeping, besides! being better for the teams tban idle ness.In many places manure can be purchased in the city and hauled to the farm at an advantage FERTILIZER REAL FARM INSURANCE High Grade Variety Furnishes Needs of Plants\u2014Several Good Formulas.(By J.G.GENTRY.) However, there is another insurance not s0 much nor so widely used as it deserves, which should be given attention, 1.e., commercial fertilizers.If we put as the work suggested on the field it is only the part of wisdom to add fertilizers and thus give the crop every chance.The wheat plants need plenty of good food to make a quick strong growth, and a good fertilizer supplies parts of food apt to be lacking.It furnishes the plant food in a form which the wheat can use freely.It is easily possible to sow fertilized wheat several days later than unfertilized and obtain an equal or greater growth before winter.This enables us to avoid the fly and at the same time obtain a growth of wheat which will be unaffected by ordinary win.\u2019 ters and will make a prodtable crop after such a winter as that of 1911-12, ; The high-grade fertilizers are best\u2019 for making fall growth and for sup | plying the needs of the crop the following spring.By high-grade we mean a fertilizer made of good, easily avall- | able materials and one which carries a large per cent.of the plant food.| These high-grade goods usually cost | a little more, but they are cheaper per pound of plant food.| There are several good formulas for ; wheat fertilizer® One containing 2 to 3 per cent.nitrogen, 8 to 10 per cent.| phosphoric acid and 6 to 8 per cent.| potash is excellent.This can be used! very profitably at tho rate of 200 to! 300 pounds per acre and the effect will show not only on the wheat, but on the clover which follows.Flower Hints, Goldenglow is a quick grower and blooms profusely.Late cosmos should be stakes if exposed to winds, Pinch back the buds of early cosmos to make bushy plants, Calliopsis are easy to grow, but they like the sun.Candytuft is fine for »orders.Fill vacant spots in the sun with balsam; grow in clumps Ageratum is very popular for bor ders.Rlue ia the favorite.tied to GARAGE GEORGE T.AMES, - Proprietor Ample storage for cars, fine opportunity for washing, competent machinist to adjust and repair cars.A full line of supplies always in stock.Gasoline and Oils.AMES BUILDING, DERBY LINE, Vt.RALPH J.HUNT'S IS THE HARDWARE STORE TO BUY RANGES AND HEATERS AND TO GO FOR YOUR PLUMBING AND HEATING PLANT.Perhaps you are to build a home the coming season, if you are, come in and talk over the Plumbing and Heating Problem with us now.SUGAR MAKERS The time is short between now and the FIRST RUN OF SAP.Have you placed your order for what you are going to need in SUGAR TOOLS?Hunt's Line of Monarch Rigs is the First in Value, and you will not make any mistake in placing your order for the items you need.It will accomplish two things: you will get prompt delivery and we will have time to do good work.WE ARE SELLING AN AX THIS YEAR THAT WAS MADE SPECIALLY FOR US.GIVE THIS AX A TRIAL.RALPH J.HUNT S4DERBY LINE, VT., AND ROCK ISLAND, QUE.SONOEOHONCEONONOEONONONORORONONORONORORONORORONORONS NEW COPARTNERSHIP HALL & CORDEAU TINSMITHS, PLUMBING, STEAMFITTING GENERAL REPAIRING IN OUR LINE.We are both practical workmen and sball give all work our personal attention, and by doing good, thorough work promptly, we hope to secure a good line of customers, and get our share of the business.We have a well equipped, roomy shop in the Jondro block.Give us a call.Peoples Telephone.HALL & CORDEAU, Rock Island.SLEIGHS and CARRIOLES See our new line of Sleighs and Carrioles for 1913.The Canada Carriage Company\u2019s line of Sleighs with pressed steel bodies possess the style of an automobile and are very durable.Also Heney and Granby Sleighs.It is hardly necessary for us to remind you of the advantages of buying early in the season.A FULL LINE OF ROBES AND HARNESSES Always a pleasure to show them.LEE FARM Call or ring.Derby Line Fruit Co.The only store in town making a specialty of Fruit.Just now Oranges are arriving in fine condition, they are sweet.We have Florida, California and Valeneia grown.SEE US FOR YOUR DRIED FRUITS FIGS, DATES, RAISINS, CITRON, ETC.Our Confectionery Department never was as complete.We keep our stock of bulk and box goods always fresh, new and up-to-date.WE HAVE A SPLENDID LINE OF FANCY GROCERIES, TEAS, COFFEES, CANNED GOODS, CRACKERS and BISCUITS, TOILET and LAUNDRY SOAPS AN ELEGANT LINE OF PIPES AND SMOKERS\u2019 ARTICLES, TOBACCOS AND CIGARS Fresh Line Postal Cards, the Largest in Town WALDRON BLOCK, DERBY LINE, VT.

crowded with women.The best argument in favor of woman\u2019s suffrage ts the miserable fizzle man has made in the use of tie ballot.If \u2018ring rule,\u201d \u201cbooze,\u201d \u201cboodle\u2019\u201d and horse-shed \u2018\u201c\u2018caucuseing\u2019\u201d are of first importance in the twentieth century election, the ballot should be kept from woman.To the unbiased mind it would seem that the American suffragettes who marched in the Washington process- jon were somewhere near as capable of using the ballot intelligently as the male hoodlums who blocked the marchers\u2019 progress and heaped indignities upon their heads.But there are a lot of men and some women who can\u2019t see it that way.Truly manis a superior being.In Boston a while ago a young lady school teacher, who happened to be of foreign birth, was among a number of feminine applicants for registration as voters in school affairs.\u2018Can you read?\u201d inquired the clerk.\u2018Yes, in seven languages; which will you have?\u201d was the quick responce.The clerk is said to have been but a poor master of one language.This \u201cstory\u201d was told to the JOURNAL by an actual witness, an elderly Vermont lady, who was a school teacher many years ago.The present Parliamentary debate at Ottawa looks something like chasing the end of the rainbow.If the suffragettes were to be turned loose on Parliament Hill it would at least be a change.Some of the stuff that is being \u201cground out\u2019 by the American Newspapers indicates that a very \u2018poor brand of whiskey is being made somewhere in the country.Weather and women are both fickle; itis about ae easy to foretell the action of one as the other.After a man has lived on a whiskey diet for thirty days it never surprises any one to hear that he died of alcoholism.FAIRFAX.Received too late for last week.NE R \"(TS ; MEN-WOMEN ar.actually weak, run- down\u2014they are slowly deteriorating\u2014 they need strength and

use ironing wax and wear eider down house jackets.When Mrs.O.E.Carter passed ber iron over the wax, it burst into flames and in a second, the flames were all over her jacket and in her hair.With instinct, she says, not presence of mind, she caught up her heavy skirt and threw it over her face and neck putting out all the blaze, ex- cepton the back of her arms.Her little son eight years old ran to her rescue, beating the flames with his bare hands.A neighbor who had just come in for a pail of water, took his mittens to smother the fire; in a few seconds it was extinguished.Mra.Carter escaped with a slight burn on the back of her neck.This is the third woman here to set her clôthes on fire inside of six weeks.Smothered Flames by Jumping into Bed.As Mrs.Fields set her lamp on the
