One reason why American writers
put their best work into short story
is that they are so well paid. The
magazines are on the alert to get hold
of any thing fresh and striking. Work
is judged on its merits. Many an
ambitious novel does not pay its au-
thor so much as a good short story.
One novel year is certainly a good
rate of production-few writers can
keep that pace-while half dozen
short stories might be produced in the
same time.-Examiner

THE DAWN.

Work, work, oh sisters, work with hope,
The night is speeding past;
The dawn is on the mountain slope,
Old tyrannies are fast
Gliding away to darksome dens,
'Mong moral morass, boys and fens;
And you and will come to stand
With freedoms lever in our hand;
And from her loftier underground,
Instinct with light and truth profound,
Hurl her white lance at human wrong,
Nor heed the sirens or the song,
TIL might, imperial in the past,
Shall yield to human right at last

therefor. 1t Is understood that the bus

Saturday, Sept. 2lst. was the day ad.
vertised by Manager Carleton for his
annual colt stakes at Elmwood Park,
Norridgewock, but owing to rain 1t was
deemed advisable that the meeting be
postponed until Monday afternoon. The
colts were out in great numbers, and
their owners promised their re-appear-
ance ON Monday. but for some reason
several did not show up, consequently
the three and four-year -old classes failed
to fill.
In the yearling race there were three
starters, but the bay colt OF Daniel Bow
mans, by Dictator Chief, WAS an easy
victor. And. by the way, this colt Is sure
to be heard from later, as he Is fine aHi-
NAL.
In the two year class three starters re-
sponded to the bell, but before they got
the word one OF the colts got playful with
his hind legs to such an extent that he
caught them In the sulky, throwing him
self and demollshing the sulky. After
this exhibition only two colts were In the
race, and like that Of the yearling, was
one sided affair

Yesterday complaint was made to

What the nature of tho nuisance might
be was not fully set forth, and SO the

the head of the stairs were two rooms,
one about 12x14 feet square and the
other about ten feet in size, and in con-
nection with them q small sink-room.
In n of these rooms was o woman
sick i'll bed. whose name was given to
the marshal us Mrs. Warren. She was
about So years of age. Furniture,
dishes, household utensils were all
mixed up in dire confusion. Dirt
reigned triumphant everywhere.
At least forty cats of every age. size,
and Notwithstanding the litters of
kittens-perched where q cat could get
a footlold. There were Maltese, tor
toise shell, great black Toms, buff and
white. and pure white cats, some
perclled on the dresser, others sleeping
on chairs, some fighting, and all, more
or less, yowling, and purring and ex-
hihiting all the various phases of cat
dom. In one of the rooms was a huge
platter OH which were strips of liver,
kidney and other meats, ut which a
large number of cats were feeding,
while others We're pulling the pieces Of
food they had taken from the platter
I'LL w the floor and growing at any
of the others that approached them.

that she boarded many of the felines
for other people, hut it appeared evil

have a mania for cats, and they were
all her own.=EOrNQM0 Press.

Why II Cannot ls Taken In 0as nay, - It
II Ia England.

The question is often asked, Why
cannot the United States censu be
taken in one day, as is done in England
and many continental countries? The
reasons arc obvious ON reflection. In
the first place, England. which we
take for an example, isa compact ma
ton. all the functions of government
being concentrated ut the national
capital. The constabulurv is national,
and the censu is taken through it.
The skeleton of the body of
ators always exists. The enlargement
occurs through the appointment of
temporary constables, working with
the permanent. constabulary force.
This gives England, and like condi-
tions exist i'll other countries,a force
always in existence, or easily brought
into existence, for census purposes.
Each constable is supplied with a
proper quantity of blanks for a
very small district. These he
distributes one day and collects
the next. They are TO be
filled out by the head of the household
and are to contain the and facts
relating to each person living under
the roof Mt midnight. The United
States has no force which can be en-
larged to q proper extent for q one-day
census. This fact alone would pre-
vent u government from following
the methods adopted in Europe. But
there is another reason which would
entirely prevent the adoption of the
European method. The schedule for
the English and continental censuses
is a very small affair, commrehending
but few inquiries relating to the name,
relation to head of family, condition
whether single. married, etc. sex, age
at the last birthday, the profession or
occupation, place Of birth, and whether
deaf, dumb or blind. The United
States census comprehends, as we have
seen, n very great number of inquiries,
relating to numerous topics.-CN,voH
