 Some 65 years ago there were attend ing school in the Rider school district, " No. 4, about 90 children. Now there's but about three children in the district ,and no school is maintained. At the time spoken there were three men living in the district, who had each IT children-51 in all. These men were David Glazier (grand- father of Dwight J. Glazier of Stafford) Joseph Rider and Zebediah Marcy. Gla- zier had four wives, three of whom had borne hlm children. Rider had three wives and Marcy two. Glazier's first nine children were all boys, and Marcy's first nine were all boys. Large families were the rule in those days.

s'Charm strikes the eye,
 But merit wins the soul. ''

The reason why Maine, the Main Shoe Man, has sold so many of his Fast Mail Shoes, i'm button, lace and congress, is because they have the real merit in them, and thus their large sales has been tho re- ward of true merit, and hundreds will back me up when I say that they are the best shoe for general service ever sold for $2.
 Those who bought their heavy boots of me last year are buying again this year. Why? My Men's Monitor Kip Boots are the best kip boot ever sold in town for $3. Do not take my word for 1t, but try one pair of them, and, if they don't prove as say, I will make you satisfied. My kip boots that \ sell for &2.5O do not have Q big name, and are no speciality, only in the fact that they equal fin every respect any boots sold for that price. Boys Boots 2 1.6O and $2. | may not always have the largest stock, but what \ do have are re- liable goods. Try them and see.

Kind Word. from an englishmah.

LONDON, Dec. 22.-In the House OF
Lords last night the Earl of Dunraven,
speaking on the Sackville incident, said:
''Surely it would have been more dignified
on our part and more worty of our position
to have taken no notice of the matter
which, as the prime minister early re-
marked, is NO matter affecting the two ma
tions. In the case Of some foreign powers,
different considerations would arise, but
our relations with the United States are
peculiar We use the word foreign toward
them because there is no other suitable ex-
preston. ButI am 10th to use the term to-
ward the great republic. The United
States is, diplomatically speaking, for
eign power, but she can never be a foreign
land to US. Her citizens are mainly men
Of the same race and lineage as ourselves,
having the same names, speaking the
same tongue, worshipping under the same
form of religion and living under the same
common laws Their constitutions, though
differing, are very similar in their integral
respects to our own, and are founded on the
same love Of liberty and law and capacity
for self government 1t is impossible to
iOoh upOu buCu pcopic os ioicikhciS,
though one Is obliged to speak Of their coun-
try as foreign power. OF all civilized
nations, England alone can understand the
United States and she alone can under
stand us in respect TO the difficulties in
separable from a system Of party govern
ment Any misunderstanding arising be-
tween us would be held to be most deplora-
BILE by a vast majority Of all thinking men
on both sides of the Atlantic.
1 fear that speaking Of the circumstance
as belonging to the history of electioneer-
ing, may have had an irritating effect upon
public opinion in America. Be that as it
may, it is certain that any longer delayed
filing Of Lord Sackville's place is liable to
be misunderstood by the American people.
hold it to be our first duty to avoid the
possibility of anything that may lead
to a want of sincere friendship between this
mother country and her colonies and after
that consider it our second duty to avoid
any such possibility between the United
States and ourselves.
Before long another minister will be ac-
credited to the court of St James. II we
hesitate and delay to accredit another min
lister to Washington the United States may
retaliate by delaying to aocredit a minister
TO US. Two great International questions
are awaiting solution-the fisheries and ex-
tradition. And these we cannot hope to
settle except under conditions Of friendship
between the two countries
