The New Devil


Human imagination and human per
versity have at one time aud another
turned almost everything into devil.
Perhaps this fact Is to day tie strong
est real argument in favor of total de.
pravity; though he must be brave
man who, in this weather, would fol
low that line of thought TO its theolog.
ical consequences One man said the
devil was a snake. Adam Clark said
the snake was an ape that had tripped
somewhere and lost its legs Darwin
said the ape was q man or manikin,
and so science brings the world back
again to the rougher side Of Eden. 1t
is doubtful if Shakespeare believed in
tbe"devil. Perhaps he knew him too
well. But whoever has spent the mid.
night hours over "Faust" need not be
told that the black poodle was new in
carnation of impdom and tina Goethe
had certainly been with Adam Clark's
ape and learned of him.
This is all typical of human progress.
The poodle is as superior to a snake or
an ape as Grant is to Washington, or
a woman to man. There is snap in
poodle, or in some poodles. But
mankind, especially wonankind, does
not want too much of him. And per.
haps there is some ground for the
anxiety expressed by recent writer on
the alarming increase of poodles." :"
He iniimates that the political devil
and the whiskey devil are harmless ur-
chins compared with the poodle; and
he wakes eloquent over the imminent
peril with which poodles menace all
that is softest in the heart and weakest
in the brain # women. On every
hand, he says, the evil is spreading, till
already is there witnessed virtual
immolation of the affections and intel
lect of thousands of the sex on the
idolatrous shrine of six.ounce pugs
The wisest philosophers have always
held that women were natural idolaters,
but it was left for the ladies of the
nineteenth century to ''catch on to a
dog.-PhiIa. Times. .t.t.

Great n'omu.
We are are having winter in earnest
now, and the lumbermen are wearing more
cheerful faces than in the early part of the
season. Business is lively.
King Jackson killed a loupcervier near
one of his camps last week, and saw another
larger but did not get him.
Six teams that are hauling bark to the
extract factory started for brandy Pond
but lost their way and came down to Emery $
works. He happened to meet them, loaded
their teams and sent them back to the fac
tory getting six extra loads that day.

If Mrs Pinkham would change her po-
sition. aud wear a fruwn on her face, as
though she thought it possible her com
pounds might prove a failure in some i'm
portant case it would give US a rest, but she
seems contented to wear that smile always,
and that reminds me of a remark ! heard
recently Of a friend, We'll. she would not
be contented anywhere" We often hear
the remark that a "contented mind Is a con-
tinual feast" 1t seems to imply that CON
tentmenr IS happiness, but | think feast
better enjoyed after a fast. We should GER
tanlv make the best of circumSauces that
we cannot help. and not make ourselves and
others miserable by repining, but # our
fore-fathers had been contented here would
our republic have been' If men had been
contented to work on in the way Of their
fathers we should have had none of the
modern inventions that make work easier
and life happier. DO not sit down con-
tented. but try to improve Yourself, home
and family. and make the little world where
in You dwell, brighter and better by Your
being in it. l.

\ sleighins party from Buehlll to Sedgwick
passing through this place last week, very
thong htlessly raised the terrifying alarm OF
fire" Our people have twice within the
past year had an experience OF fighting fire
aud know the dread reality, so that il was
no wonder. that, as the cry broke on the
evening air, it should cause dismaV and in
two cases OF sickness of ladies in the neigh

the fright was very serious. Sensible peo-
Pile ought to be able TO enjoy good time,
without raising a false alarm TO terIorIze
quiet community.
We have aad a very exciting friendly
contest over the disposal OF a cradle quilt
made by the sewing circle. 1t was to be
voted to one Of two ladies' at five cents vote;
two girls began canvassing for the votes,
and as the interest increased they were re-
inforced by others, so that they secured 2l3
votes for Mrs. Annie l.. Alden, and 1913 for
Mrs Elya Thurslon. SO that "our baby" got
the quilt. Such a diversion from the dull
monotony OF a quiet neighborhood. is very
interesting aud profitable, and is much less
Objectionable as means of raising money
than the various forms of lotteries, and
guessing, and saves much trouble, as in get
ting up suppers and then paving for eating

Circle held Jan. Is, Mrs. Hattie Alden
who has proved very efficient president
