CAMP MEETINGS. The good
people of New Hampshire who live
near the borders of Lake Winnepi
saukce cannot complain but tina
they have tie gospel preached a
their very doors. Three cam
meetings being held at the sam,
time, at as many different points OF
the Lake, and by us many differen
denominations, gives the people ain
pie opportunity to ''pay their mon
cy and take their choice"
The camp meeting at Wolfeborc
commenced the first of last
week and is to continue through
the present week. 1t seems to Ut

and is to close Wednesday, Sept. l.
The grounds at Alton are under the
control of the Boston and Maine

enlarged and improved, and are
now as fine and convenient as any
i'll New England. Crowds of per
sons are in attendance daily. They
come by trains over the B. & M
II. r., boats, teams and on foot. The
closing Sunday the crowd is usu-
ally great, as many as $4,000 or
10000 being on the grounds at the
same time. On tue 9th a camp
meeting will commence on the Win
nepisaukce grounds at the Weirs
on the Z. G. & M. railroad, to con.
tlnue one week. Although this is
a new ground it is one of the best
in the country. The railroad lands
people at the gates, while steamboat
wharves are only a few rods away.
The managers Of the road offer
great inducement to travellers by

far exceed in extent and magnitude
all former attempts of these ever
successful associations. The fair
will take place on the grounds of
the Manchester Riding Park, on
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

The amount of Premiums offered is
nearly one third larger than ever
before. The officers of both socie-

gest thing of the kind ever held in
New England, and they are men
who, when they attempt to do a
thing, usually do it. Such men as

The Royal Road to Success.

Mr. r. SIS W
There are many persons who have
Ll,een educated to the belief that Ii,
Dor is degrading. They refuse to
do the simplest act that involves In
bor, unless, cpmpcllefby sheer nc
crSsity to its performance. Then
hey go at it ike II slave to his task
rs if their manhood was broken,
and their proud spirit crushed. The
kIchmond why (Denocralic), in
speaking of this class, says:
Crank soon becomes contempti'
b!o 0hcn ii is stripped Of the means
necessary to support it--and there
are no more disaSrceahlc and ride
nIolis people than those who, ha\
ing lost prestige, BY losing wealth,
spend their time in lamentlng the
Gccadehce Of old families, and in
snecriug at honest, energetic PEG
pie who have alnassed wealth, and
aic lahOring TO clc\ att their families
The latter are far the more respect
able of tie two. They are found
ing families as all the old families
were originally built up
This is sound doctrine, and should
br inculcatea everywhere, North as
well as South. There are TOO many
ecntcel drones in society; too many
who think the world owes them a
living, and Il leading position with
ont working for the one or dcserv
ing the other.
a noble ancestry is well enough
to look up at, but it is more salts
factory to look down upon. The
honorS and wealth of Il generation
ago may do to dream about, but il
they have departed, they will NOT
furnish food, clothing, or respecta'
hility to the dreamer of to-day. 1t
is more commendable for the pres
ent generation to know that it is an
Improvement on the past one. and
to say with the industrious mechan.
ic, who, when tainted by a broken
down aristOcrat on his humble an
ccstry, replied sit is better to be
the big end of small stock, than
Tie little end of big one"
This false gentility which seeks
to live without labor, must go down
before the march of true worth.
The leaders of the future, whether
in the field of politics, or business,
must come from the industrious
classes. Intelligent labor will be
the magic wand to overcome all oh
>taclcs, and elevate its possessOr to
the highest positions of honor aud
trust. Idle dreams will not bring
success. honest cndeavOr will. Vain
regrets will not recover what has
been lost, hard work will. TO over
come the tide, the oarsnan must
exert his strength; so to overcome
the tide that yearly sweeps thOus
ands to destruction, the asplrant al'
ter wealth or fame must exert his
greatest efforts. Oliy through these
can he expect to triumph.

y correspondent of the Santa Rosa
California; Times, who recently spent
a short time in Redwood Valley, Men,
docino county, where the Digger In
dians are still quite numerous, gives
some interesting particulars of the
manners and customs of the tribe. He
says:
Their wigwams are built throughout
of redwood bark, and are round in
shape, which can better be explained
by saying that they are in the shape of
a bowl upside down on top. There
are no windows, and aside from the
aperture for entrance, which is about
two feet square, and small opening
at the top to allow the smoke to escape,
there is no opening to this conical en-
closure. To enter one of these huts it
becomes necessary to get down and
crawl in. Once inside a strange sight
greets the eye. The majority of both
sexes go perfectly naked, and, being
scrupulously particular, each one does
his or her own cooking. They sleep
in circle in hollow places in the
ground, with feet to the centre. Their
cooking apparatus, which consists of
coed sized rocks followed out, is in
convenient reach, and the Digger need
not rise to prepare his breakfast. The
food consists of bread made from
acorns, which are first buried, then
roasted then pulverized, and lastly
mixed up with water and baked. This
bread is said to be very nourishing.
Their mode of preparing squirrel, hare,
etc., is to take them just as when kill
ed, pound them to a jelly, and then
roast them. Another article Of food
very common with them is known as
the "fsh worm" The Digger is an
inveterate gambler, and his principal
game is very simple, consisting of
holding both hands behind him, in one
of which is a stick, while another bets
he can tell in which hand he holds it.
1t is said that they scorn cheating,
and after the bets are made, never
change the stick from one hand to the
other. Their money consists of little
round shells with a hole in the centre
which one of their number is selected
to manufacture. No counterfeiting is
ever attempted. Each shell represents
about half cent Of American money,
and is taken by their tribe as greedily
as gold. A string of this mouey can
be seen at this Office, and it is wonder
ful how uniform these buttons can be
made by simply rubbing them on stone
with the hand.

Carrying bullet for sixty years.
The Dansville, New York, Advertiser
tells the following: "On Friday, May
%, Muses. George. of this village, a
veteran of the war of 1912, who has
passed his eighty eighth year, extract
ed from his groin bullet which was
buried there by the rife of an Indian
at the battle of Chippewa, on the 9th
day of July, 1915. The bullet struck
the inside of the right leg near the
groin as the soldier was wheeling in
to line, and badly shattered the thigh
bone. The bullet weighs a full half
ounce and is eoncave on one side, show
ing the impress of the bone which it
struck. 1t is somewhat blackened,
but beneath thin coating the lead is
as pure and bright as it was over half
century ago. The results of the
wound made by the bullet were very
severe. The limb has shortened six
inches or more, and below the thigh
and reaching nearly to the knee is
thickly scared, where pieces of the
shattered bone, over fifty in all, have
bullet did not return by its original
entrance, but came to the surface
about four inches above, and was ta-
ken out by the veteran himself with
out the aid Of instruments. He was
overoyed to get his eyes on the old
enemy who had worried him SO long,"
A son of the Faderland went into
Barney Galligan's saloon the other
day and called for a drink. Barney
shook his head, saying, "No, you're
drunk now"
"No, ] hade you on dot"
"Well, I'll bet you fifty dollars to
one that you are drunk" said Barney.
while quite number gathered round
to see the fun.
"Good enough, / bade you" said he

to make up a dollar. "Now, who will

"Yes, by shingoes, ! am" said he

A friend of his happened $40 be in

Gliding against himself.
"But it was de druth."
"Well, supposing it was what did
you want to be fool enough to bet
for, then?"

in sorrow than in anger.

"When will Miss Cary come Bach

answer thus unsteady: "Haydn't

punsters to task in this wise: at

be pitched into, sharp, for composing
puns on such a scale, although the
theme was nicely arranged for two flats
to play with it. Such flippancies are
out of time and not in concert with
