The Dry Terms.

From the Portland northampton Co. )lEnter'
prise.
1t may be interesting to look back on
this old record of dry seasons, which
dates back to pilgrim fathers times
In the summer of 1921, "a days in sue
cession without rain in the summer
of 1880, Al days summer 1856, 75
days summer 1862, 80 days; sum-
mer 1874, 46 days; summer 1889. 81
days; summer 1894, 81 days; sum"
mer 1905, 40 days summer 17l6, 40
days; summer 1920, 81 days; sum-
rner 1870, 80 days; summer 174l, "
days; summer l749, 10S days; sum-
mer 1855, AZ days summer 1852, 12S
days summer 1773, 80 days; sum-
mer 1791, SO days summer 1902, 28
days; summer 1912, 2S days; sum-
mer 1856, "a days; summer 1871, AZ
days summer 1874, 26 days sHm-
mer 1875, 27 days. 1t will be seen that
the longest drouth that ever occurred
in America was in the summer of 1852,
no rain falling from the first of May to
the first of September, making l23 days
without rain. Many of the inhabitants
sent to England for hay and grain.
The above does not include the dry
terms for the last ten years. III any OF
the readers of this paper could give it
to us we would DO glad to have 1t. 1t
would show us how we Americans
were blessed during this 265 years 8
thanks to the GiYer of All.

HE DIDN'T BITE.
Sharpers Discover a Farmer Who
Was up to their Brightest Game.

There is sharper's game which has
been played for the last hundred years,
and as the turning point is aYarice the
game works forty-nine times where it
fails once. Two sharpers set out few
weeks ago to play it on Wayne coun-
ty farmer. One of them came along
one day and wanted to buy the farm.
AS the farmer wanted to sell it was
quite easy to strike a bargain. The
price was to be 900 i'm cash, and the
man handed over $3.50 to bind the bar
gain. Within two days a second stran-
ger came along and wanted the farm.
He wanted it so bad that he couldn't
stand still. He found indications OF
coal, natural gas and coal oil. and he
was willing to give So 500 for the place.
The idea was of course, that the farm
er would be awful sick of his first sale
and seek to buy the man off. 1t would
pay him to offer the man 81 500 to re-
lease him.
The second stranger was only out CT
sight when the first one turned up a.
gain. His mouth watered over the
prospect, but not for long. The farm
er explained that he had been offered
s., 500 more, and added
But I don't care for money. The
1000 is enough for me and it's all the
old farm is worth. When you are ready
to pay the balance we'll make out the
papers,
The purchaser offered to release him
for ,O00-$7OO-$5O0-$3OO, but the
farmer didn't want to be released. He
hung to the bargain money and he's
got it yet, while the pair of sharpers
rave and gnash their teeth every time
they think OF the thickness OF his skull.

Learning the Business.

what is the first thingyou endeavor
to teach a young man when he goes to
work in your store ? was the question
asked of a successful EImira business
man day or two ago.
We'll, the first thing that endeavor
to teach him. was the response, is
that he don't know anything about the
business. He will then be willing to
begin at the bottom and master the
whole trade in detail.
There seems to be considerable sense
in the gentleman's remarks. s.-Elmira

was Julius Cesar. Some men. however,
have intellects so admirably trained, that
the perception of truth is almost an in
tuition sensibilities so refined that to be
gentleman is an instinct, and con-
sciences so tender that to do right is their
chief concern. Such a man was Robt. L.
Lee. To secure such an education as |
have endeavored to outline, you must
make up your minds
"To scorned delights and live laborious days"
You must grow in rectltude of purpose,
always striving "To rise on stepping

ways. If you want money there are
shorter ways by which you can
reach the object of your de-
sire than the way 1 nave described.
Men have grown "rich beyond the dream
of avarice," have become as Osric in Ham
let, spacious in the possession of dirt"
without the 1.-THE of the labor it takes to
makes a genuine scholar. But then there
are other thingf even in this world worth
having outside of money. There is
"honor, love, obedience, troops of friends"
there is the measureless content of right
doing. But you must not look at an edu-
baton as means to an end. If you
would enjoy its fullest benefits you must
expect to find in il, as Coleridge found in
poetry, its own exceeding great reward"

which vas then one Of the fashionable taverns
Of the south. 1t still stands on the corner OF
Cameron and Royal streets, and Is now used
as an auction house. Here the young wife
became sick; and within few weeks she died.
During her sickness her husband, for so the
man calls himself in the epitaph on the tomb
stone, watched tenderly over her, But he
would have nothing to do with the citizens of
Alexandria, and would giveno account what
ever of himself The mysterious couple of the
City hotel were the talk of the town, and the
gossips of the city were trying to learn some-
thing about them. They were ballied at every
point. The French maid servants could not
speak word of English, and the physician
who attended the beautiful lady's last hours
would say nothing in regard t. her. When
death came the female servants Ind the hus'
band alone beheld the face Of the dead wife,

services were celebrated. The citizens were

SCHOOL BOOKS.
SOMETHING IRATE PARENTS
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.


WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
This is the season of the year when the
average father, with some four or five
children, goes out in the wood shed and
kicks himself. His children, you know,
have started to school. and, of course,
books must be had. That's what disturbs
the good father and destroys his equilib-
rum. Not the books, but
THE PRICES
he has to pay for them, compared with
prices he pays for other books. This is
what bothers the average father, and no
amount of figuring can disabuse his mind
of the idea that the school book makers
have got a corner on the business, and
are calmly scooping the population. An
ordinary school book with 1875 to 500
small pages costs more than an elegantly
bound volume of any of the standard poet
ical works. A set of seven school books,
four of them quite small, for beginners,
costs within one dollar and forty cents of
the price of Dickens complete works, in
cloth, and within some four or five dollars
of the price of the Waverly novels, COM
plete. This is what worries the popula-
ton, and they would like for some one to
rise up and explain why this thusness is
thus. A school book costs dollar, while
book of some other kind, of the same
material, same size, and the same labor to
produce it, costs only half as much. Why
Is it?
