great Importance and we hope to see
no serious objections raised to the
measure in the Legislature or by the

How Times Have Chaueed.

The death of the King of Portugal
makes less stir in the world now than
it would have three or four centuries
ago, when the country was one of
the greatest powers OF the earth.
Portugal has a great past, and the
world owes much to the skill and
enterprise of its navigators and dis
coverers; but in the 10th century it
began to degenerate and finally fell
into the low state from which it
never has recovered. 1t makes little
difference with international affairs
whether Luis or Carlos lives and
reigns.- Portland Advertiser.
Good Advice Well Pnt.
Every man is interested in having
a good and efficient government, but
it really matters no more to him
what are the politics of the person
who handles his letters than it does
what ticket his butcher and grocer
casts. The country has been so long
accustomed to the present system
that most men do take an interest In
the question who shall fill the petty
local offices. The first thing to be
done is to get rid of the notion COM
pletely and thoroughly. If the coun-
try is to have reform, it must come
from the great mass of common,
everyday folks, who cast the votes
and represent public opinion. The
Companion appeals to every man,
and to every young man who will
soon be a voter, to resolve that he
will under no circumstances assist,
by work or by signing petitions, in
the removal of any person to local
office on account of political consid-
eration.-[Youth's Companion.

ChamOiS Lined Shoes.

We have just received fresh lot of Pib
Goat Shoes lined with Chamois skin through
out, and with layer of felt between the
outer and inner Soles
This felt sole is new feature and has two
objects in view, viz: to keep the shoe from
squeaking, which is caused by two leather
soles rubbing together, and to keep the bot
toms of the feet from being cold, felt being
perfect non-conductor of cold.
This shoe is made in half common sense
with low heel and a rounded toe.
The natural superstition would be that
shoe OF this kind would be clumsy looking,
but will say that haven't cleaner
fitting or nicer looking shoe To all these
desirable qualities is added great service.

afternoon, and had crept into the kltch-
en- when nobody was there, end-taken
the warming pan and run home with It,
Her grandfather stood looking at her.
The very kindness of gentleness was IN
the old parson s manner, but his words
sounded hard. He commanded her to
dress herself and carry back the warm
ing pan to the Simmonses confess what
she had done, and say that her grand
father did not wish it to be returned, but
had given it to them.
When Aunt Serena heard that, she
raised her voice. She was shocked and
amazed by Polly's exploit but possibly
had covert sympathy with it. At all
events she thought her fathers command
harsh.
Aunt Serena expostulated, and Polly
wept and pleaded, but the old parson was
nexorable Meekly as he could walk in
the straight way, he could keep himeelf
and others there with stern purpose.
Little Polly Edwards dressed herself,
took the warming pan, aud trudged a
mile and halt, through the bitter win
ter night, to the Simmopses, made her con-
fession, and returned it, She never for
got how Mrs. Erastus Summons, red
faced with shame and indignation, snatch
ed the warming pan and slammed the
door in her face. 1t was early, only
eight clock. People in those DAYS kept
early hours, and there was a bright
moon. Polly did not feel afraid, bat 1t
was bitter three mile walk that she
had. She was glad enough to Get nome
to Aunt Serena Her aunt said nothing
to her about the matter, but she made a
nice bowl of sage tea, which Polly loved,
and she watched her drink it down with
a plying face, and tucked her warmly
into bed again. And little Polly Ed
wards never again took matters in regard
to borrowing neighbors into her own
hands, but let her grandfather take his
own meek and long suffering way unmo-
Tested
Just here, little Margaret Rollins, who
was Polly Edwards great granddaughter,
used to inquire anxiously: "But didn' t
the Simmonses ever return that warming
pan, mother ?
And her mother would laugh and say
well my dear, it was never known
certainly-they did not return the orig
inal warming pan-but at the parson g
next donation party, somebody left a
bright new warming pan, and said moth
ing, and they never knew just where ii
came from; but Aunt Serena and Polly

airy Army, to come upon party OF his
young officers amusing themselves at a
game of Elves" and in spite of his evil
dent enjoyment OF the sport, to find them
too much overcome with awe to go on
playing. 1t was in vain that the General
encouraged them to resume their sport;

drawbacks, he bowed, wished his officers
good-day, and walked away.
As horseman, from beginning to end
of his vigorous life, Washington had no
peer Like all Virginisn boys, he took
to the saddle as duck takes to water.
Once astride his steed, it was all but i'm
possible to dislodge MIN. From the day
when as a lad he first rode to hounds
after old Lord Fairfax, of Greenway
Court, across the county named for that
worthy noblemsn, he Was q ekilled and
dashing fox hunter. In the army, when
on horseback, riding down the line,
cheered to the echo by the soldiers, who
believed with a superstition worthy of
the ancients that here was a being born
to lead them, be was physically the most
imposing figure present. In person,
Washington showed in his maturity the
lUllS Vi bu6 lllCtiu = lO AAdN gwen w
what athletes nowadays call training.
His habits at all tines, were those ex-
acted of Grew or "team" of modern
days, before the occasions when those
heroes appear in public, to FIT With des-
pair or exultation the bosoms OF their
friends. From the Indians of the Shen-
sndoah wilderness, among whom he spent
weeks during his first surveying tour, he
learned the swift, elastic tread that dis
tinguished him in walking. His powers
of endurance were worthy of his eztraor-
binary physical strength, though it must
be said he had few illnesses to test bis
constitution, and, indeed, was rarely all
ing. It may be some consolation to as
pirant heroes Of the future to hear, while
upon this topic, that Mrs.. Washington
said it was well the general was so rarely
i'll, as she could never get him to take 10
medicine
"Maior Laurence Lewis once asked his
uncle what was his height in the prime
of life" says GUSTS. "He replied, In
my best days, Laurence, I stood six feet
and two inches in ordinary shoes Of
his weight we are an evidence, having
heard him say to Crawford, Governor OF
Canada in 1899, My weight in my best
days, sir, never exceeded from two hun
bred and ten, to twenty. His form was

unique. Unlike most athletic frames,
which expand at the shoulders and gather
in at the hips, the form of Washington
deviated from the general rule, since it
descended from the shoulders to the
hips in perpendicular lines, the breadth of
the trunk being as great at the one end as
at the other. His limbs were long, large,
and sinewy; he was what is called
straight-legged. His joints, feet, and
hands were large, and could cast have
been made from his right hand ESQ far
did its Dimensions exceed natures

museums for ages as the anatomical won

Consolation


When Molly came home from the party to-
night
The party was out at nine-
There were traces of tears in her bright blue eyes
That looked mournfully up to mine
For some one had said, she whispered to me,
With her face on my shoulder hid,
Some one had said (there were sobs in her voice.
That they did Mt like something she did.
So took my little girl up on my knee
I am old and exceedingly wise
And I said, My dear, now listen to me-
Just listen, and dry your eyes.
" This world is difficult world, indeed,
And people are hard to suit,
And the man who plays on the violin
Is bore to the man with the flute.
"And 1 myself have often thought,
How very much better t would be
If every one of the folks that I know
Would only agree with me.
But since they will not, the very best way
To make this world look bright
Is, never to mind what people say
But to do what you think is right"

A tale still current in Washington 8
old home neighborhood in Virginia re
counts how once as a STRIPPING he sat
reading under the shade of an oak-tree
near his school. Some Of his friends had
engaged champion wrestler of the coun-
ty to test their strength in an impromptu
ring. One after another fell victim OF
the champions skill, till, grown bold at
last, he strobe back and forth like one OF
the giants Of old-time romance, daring the
only boy who had not wrestled with him
either to put his book down and come to
the wiring or own himself afraid
This was more than the selfcontained
Washington could stand Quietly clos
ing his book, he accepted the challenge.
Long after, when the student under the
oak tree had become the oonqueror with
whose honored name the whole civilized
world responded, the ex-cbampion told
what followed, "After fierce, short
struggle, he said, II felt myself graeped
and hurled upon the ground with a Jar
that shook the marrow Of my bones.
With the memory of these boyish en-
counters in mind, and with all bis SYM
pathy for athletic exercises, think what
is must have been to Washington, when
