Graceful Movements.

"Do you know there are very few peo-
Pile who know without instruction how
to walk across room, how to make q
graceful bow, or how TO stand at ease Z
Neither of these three things Is done
gracefully by nineteen out of. twenty
men and women. Did you ever notice
that an actor In walking across the stage
rarely obtrudes bis feet on your notice,
while an amateur will impress you As not
knowing how to handle thenf The rea-
son is that the experienced ac,o' keeps his
toes down always and doesn't lift his
feet much off the floor. Simple, .>nt III
but a trick to be acquired ali the same,
"As for making IA bow, there are rs
many different ways almost as there are
different persons. To stand with the
body nicely poised and incline the head
gracefully Is quite an art. IL you wish
to form an estimate of those who do this
well, watch the introductions at the Il, Nt
reception you attend.
ITO stand easily Is one of the hardest
things to do. The actor who can stand
perfectly still and appear at ease Is well
along in his profession you may be sure.
In society you will find gentlemen stand
ing on one leg, or with legs crossed. or
feet wide apart, or attempting to stand
easily with feet close together and toes
out. say you will notice gentlemen
doing this because an Inexperienced per
son cannot tell when ladies stand that
way. But they are just as bad as the
men, and If you study the effects of
these postures you will be able to tell the
women as well as the men. The correct
attitude is with one foot slightly advanc-
ed and the other about a foot back of it,
with the toes nearly at right angels.
This gives one latitude TO rest the weight
Of the body on either or both feet, and
gives ones suppeness some expression.

A Bear Story.

The following story is told of a city
chap who recently went up into the Dead
River country for bear. He carried a
No. 40 rife, navy revolver, etc, hired a
guide and took to the woods. They
tramped seven days without getting 3
shot, when the city gentleman decided he
must return home and they started for
the settlement The guide was trampine
leisurely along some distance in the rear,
when he heard loud outcry, quickly fol-
lowed by the appearance Of the city chap,
minus hat, rife, revolver and all. Whats
the trouble?' asked the guide. "Oh
My There's an awful big bear Just
ahead. right in the road!' "Well, what
of 1t? Did you shoot him? Where's
your rife and hat?" "Oh. | was SO
frightened dropped 'em right in the road
and RAM" When the two came up to the
spot bruin had disappeared in the woods,
having been as badly frightened at the
yell as the man was of the bear. That
city chap now dislikes to tell of his "hunt
for bear"

Ohio Wool Growers.

The Ohio Wool Growers Association
held meeting recently with large at
tendance. They adopted On address to
the wool growers OF the United States
and adopted resolutions asking the Ma.
tionl Association to take proper steps to
carry out the suggestions made In the
address.
The essential features of the address
are that in view of the imminent danger
which threatens all the industries Of our
nation, and especially the production and
manufacture of wool. the wool growers
of Ohio urge the necessity Of unity Of
activity in order to avert the peril Of free
trade, or free wool. with which they are
now menaced. The wool growers Of
Ohio advocate a protective system. Tar
III, for revenue will not secure protection.
As the wool growers, we ask for such
legislation and such administration Of ex-
listing laws as are required by the DELHI
crate promises made by the republican
party prior to the last Presidential cleo
ton. We denounce the injustice Of al
lowing the carpet industry TO damage
wool industry by importing clothing wool
under the false name of carpet wool.
The wool growers Of the United States
are called upon to be fully represented in
the National Convention of Wool Grow
ers to assemble In Washington, Decem-
enber g. 1883

Good Advice.

Mr.. |. c. Libby, the great Maine cattle
buyer. gives it as his opinion that the
panic has broken on low priced sore cat
tie, and indications are that better prices
will be realized for all of our meat supply,
which has run down to mark never
reached before. Markets closely watched
are great lessons, ss We have ne way to
judge the future only by the past, and at
all former periods, when an article OF
co'1mon consumption settled way below
H. cost Of production that article has raj
lied and gone above its cost of production.
| lis should he the case with our live
stock, these shrewd, far-seeing farmers
VII" are to-day quietly stocking up their
farms at the expense and loss Of those
who are pauic-stricken, aud are bound to-
sell at any price, too late regrets will be-
the order of the day. Looking at Maine
farming from my standpoint, we can see
plenty of money to be made at this happy
but neglected avocation, even In the
various classes of live stock that are be-
ing thrown into the market at a nominal
price. Courage and push win." and any
young farmer can start ON an old run out

years II he will use his brains as much az

Names Report at the National

Worthy State Master, Hon. Frederick
Robie, in presenting report Tor the
State of Maine at the meeting of the Ma
tional Grange just held in California, was
able TO state the membership to be 1921

The State Master said
1--WE are the largest Grange State in
the Union and have paid into the national
treasury this year sos So. Twenty or
more public lectures delivered by the
Worthy Master of the National Grange in
different and remote sections of the State
at the expense of the State Grange have
resulted in much good. In consequence
of this and other agencies, as | am in
formed by our State Secretary, our nu-
merical force is likely to reach l7,0lS
members before our annual meeting I'M the
city of Belfast which convenes on the
18th of December. | attribute our good
standing to better appreciation of the
declaration of purposes among the farm
ers of our State. The Maine Farmer has
done good service, and the papers OF each
of the political parties of the State Of
Maine reached out friendly hand and on
every occasion have espoused our cause.
The legislature of Maine has never denied
any appropriation which the interest of
the farmer have demanded. l particular
ly point with pride to the many grange
halls In our State, which are occupied and
owned by the subordinate oranges.
Their number has been increased the past
year by the dedication of twelve new
grange halls. Nearly every successful
subordinate grange owes the hall 1t occu-
pies. The farmers of Maine have faith
In the grange, for without faith In our
selves. this necessary power for advance
ment cannot be supplied by others. I
feel that the pcrmanency Of the grange Is
assured In the Pine Tree State"
