Palmer Journal: About two months ago the insolvent firm of Fay, Peck X Go. called meeting of their unpaid help, and proposed they should accept 622 cents on dollar in payment of their claims. The firm also promised that as soon as the last name was on the document the help would receive their money. They also stated they could effect settlement with the inn porters for 20 cents on "a dollar. Thus they would be able to start Inc shop again the coming winter. The employees, after much thought and consideration, based principally upon the fact that they needed the work, and that the best interests of the town demanded they should, accepted the proposed terms so that the shop might run the coming season, and it is under stood every one signed. Slime that time the help have been expecting to receive their money until this week, when the firm sent out cards advising the help to see a lawyer and send in their claims to the assignee at once. As this proposed settlement was to be made before Saturday night, it Is evident now that the firm will make no settlement, and will leave the matter in the asoignee's hands. The firm states that the shop will run this winter, and have written to their out of town help asking for their services.

A WRINKLE ON WRINKLES It is cus- tomary to $ y that wrinkles come from worrying, but the truth is that most of them come from laughing. To kuow how to laugh is just as important as to know when not to do it. If you laugh with ths sides of your face..tlle skin will work loose in time and wrinkles will form in exact ac cordance with what kind of laugh you have. The man who always wears q smirk will have series of semi circular wrinkles covering his cheeks.
 When gambler, who has been accus- toned to suppressing his feelings, laughs, deep line forms on e;tch side of his nose and runs to the upper corner of his mouth. Iu time the line extends to his chin and as- sumes the shape of i half moon. A cl- daverous person with a wax-like skin is very apt to have two broadly marked wrinkles, one running mp from the jaw and the other under th" eye.
