lots have been sub-divided, and
again put on the market and
resold.

price was 1928. have since sold
at 81, 600 each. Residence lots
which were sold at 5000 have
since sold for 81, 900, and there
is big money IN them at that
price. There are a great many
fine bargains now being offered

can not do better than to pur-
chase some of these lots to
hold for a year or two when
they are sure to realize largely

Our Better Natures.



In the midst of the wild excitement which
ran through the partizans at the Republican
State convention last week, word came that
one Of their number had fallen by the way,
and at that moment lay just lowering on the
borders of the unknown land. He was ac-
corded the best apartment at the disposal of
his friends in the big Falmouth hotel, and
watched over as carefully and tenderly as
though he had been a monarch. The best
attention was paid him however after he was
gone for on the break of the following day
just as the contending forces were beginning
to get into line for the battle, his spirit
passed from earth and he was at rest. The
fact became generally known that he was
a brave hero of the late war who had left
a leg on the southern battlefield. He left a
widow and eight children unprovided far off
in his Arostook home. Before the organi-
cation of the convention had been completed
or his family had been advised of their ter
rible loss, the project to raise purse for the
widow and orphants had been suggested. 1t
was cordially accepted and in very brief
space of time it was announced that S4SS
had been secured and some one thought, it
had better be made an even $500 so the hats
were passed again and 500 secured making
the amount nearly $500, Surely this was
practical benevolence of the true sort. There
is lots of good in the hearts of even excited
politicians and it only needs the occasion to
call it forth.

The Democratic and the Republican
Bandannas.

A Belfast Irish Blaine Republican says he
can improve on the red bandanna as an
emblem of Democracy. He would put the
English Union jack in the corner of the
bandanna, when it would become the British
ensign. Repubfiean Joarnat.
This would undoubtedly be an APP
propriate addition but not an essential one.
The red bandanna stands for British in
terests and British theories to-day precise
" the same as if it bore the Union lack.
The love of England for the Democratic
party is steadfast and abiding. 1t seems
to feel for them much of the same warmth
that ii cherished for the Tories during the
revolutionary period. This affection is by
no means unselflsh. England usually has
personal motive in her love making-and
she takes the Democratic party into her
good graces because she recognizes it AS
the exponent In America of English ideas.
For the Republican party England has
no sympathy. She feels for that party
to-day very much of the hostility she
cherished for it during the Rebellion.
While the great English newspapers
are chanting the praises of Grover Cleve-
land and his Free Trade associates, they
make no attempt to disguise their
hostility to the Republican party and its
leaders. The reason of this attitude of
the English Press towards the Republican
party is apparent to the most casual
observer
The Republican party stands for
America aud American ideas. 1t stands
f'r the fostering of American industries,
and the protection of American labor
against the disastrous results that would
come from free competition with the
cheaper labor of Europe. 1t believes in
the maintaining of the American Home
Market-thc best in the world, for Ameri-
can citizens. II stands for the principle
that the highest success of this Govern
ment is dependent upon the prosperity of
its laboring people.
The Democratic party stands for the
English idea-Free Trade. 1t would force
the laboring people of this country into
'ptb tbuiptAlt VIII the dbOT vi
Europe. 1t would take away from our
producers our Home market, and make
America the dumping ground for the
manufactured product of England. Well
may the red bandanna be ornamented with
the Union Jack, when is taken into con-
sideration all that this badge of Democracy
svmbolizes.
The Republican bandanna is the Stars
and Stripes. II is an ensign which that
party has never deserted, even during the
dark and stormy days of the Rebellion,
when the Democratic legions in suits of
grey We're marching under the red ban
danna of Secession.

A mission now devolves on us,
A duty must be DONE
For in the distance, even now,
SO fresh, so young SO green,
The feeble infant W,
In swaddling clothes is seen.
The duty" suggested in this somewhat
fiery verse, will probably consist in pouring
an occasional pail of water upon the head of
some over pompous Freshman. This is an
operation that is usually beneficial to the
Freshman, and extremely satisfactory to the
upper classmen, whose dignity would forbid
a personal application of this
cooling remedy. OF all the narrowing
sights that men are called upon
to witness "brash" (i.e. eonceited) Fresh
man is most excruciating to College Alumni.
All agree--with wonderful unanmity that a
gentle ducking now and then is quite bene-
fetal to such fellows, and often has the effect
of making a man of boy who would other
wise nave llHateu INTO gas-uaS OF IlpeHeu
into milksop. We have talked with many
old college alumni on this subject, and while
we find universal condemnation of the
practices that formerly constituted 'hazing,"
and which now are happily out of vogue in
our colleges, yet even learned Judges,
and scholarly professors and grave
Doctors of Divinity will express the
opinion that little quiet washing down"
of "swell'' Freshman is often productive of
beneficial results. The Freshman who goes
about his business in a quiet gentlemanly
manner will always be used well by the
Sophomores, and will be sure to find firm
friends among the members of that class.
The young man, however, whe enters college
with chip on his shoulder and a determi-
nation to kill a Sophomore or two, will be
quite apt to be washed if not las white as
