The energetic man is the one who
makes the world go. The man who
laughs at difficulties il the one who
removes them. We often see men who
easily give up and arc not successful,
he bcwails his fate and seeks TO lay
the blame on some one else, while his
energetic neighbor seems to delight to
conquer the difficulties which stopped
the timid one. A more sorrOwful sight
is rarely seen than man who has
lost his courage. II there are diff
culties, meet them in a spirit of de-
fiance, brush them aside or walk over
them.

Politics in Baxter Springs this year
seems 10 be of the "still hunt" order.
Office seekers speak in whispers and
are found only in back alleys and un-
frequented places. We have heard
that it is the intention to murder sew

to kill them of than TO buy them of

ship, some miscreant concealed in or
near the barn, fired load of buckshot
at him, peppering the side of the barn
with lead, some of the shot striking
the harness. Mr.. Furness and wife
had just returned from drive, aud
Mr.. Furness had embarrassed the
team, when the shot came. Forum
ately he was not struck, but it was a
close call. The party firing the shot
made his escape at once, in the dark
ness, and Mr.. Furness has no idea who
II can be-. as he has no personal enc
mics that he is aware of. The close
shot shows that the party meant TO kill
him and only the darkness rendered
the aim uncertain. Other than the
facts stated there is absolutely no in

mere conjecture.

Joplin News: There are eight
young ladies in Joplin who are nobly
standing the jests of few of their
acquaintance over an occurrence that
happened at Baxter one day last week.
OF course the story was easily circu-
lated for one of the girls told ii herself.
The eight girls made the trip in body
aud no sooner than they alighted from
the train they began to hear numerous
remarks: "There they are. I'll bet
that slim one is the pitcher and that
the chubby one is the catcher" These
remarks came from number of boys
and men who began to crowd up and
the girls hardly knew what to make
of it. They "caught on" though,
when one venturesome youth stepped
up boldly and asked the ladies if they
belonged to the female base ball club.
The girls Uttered and lost themselves
in the throng and the inquisitive boys
sighted the real members Of the ball
team and followed them TO town.

We have recently been shown
samples OF "whiskey" said TO have
been manufactured in Baxter Springs.
1t was of the proper color, but there
was nothing genuine about it except
the bubbles caused by the action Of
nitro glycerine working on an inferior
grade OF gasoline. In execution it is
superior to the Arkansaw moonshine
and three applications will cause hair
TO grow on pine board. We have
always favored home manufactures
and the protection of home industries,
hut this last production is hardly up
to The standard.

The curious phenomenon that certain

GETTING WHAT THEY DESERVE.

Without malice, and with all the
community regards with great salts
faction the fruition of the prosecution
of the year past, in this village for IL
legal sale of liquor. The departure
last week of six rum sellers convicted
of violations of the prohibitory law
and sentenced to confinement in the
work house at Rutland for periods
varying from sixty days to one year
is not the single or the greatest source
of satisfaction. The comparative
freedom of this community from the
scenes and incidents attendant upon
the open violation of the liquor code,
and the circumspection observed by
those that are still open, are matters
for congratulation. Progress in the
work of purging the town of the one
evil that has for a generation or long
er been practically without restriction
has been made. The work of sup
pressing the saloon and it's infamous
business has taken a long stride for
ward. The first serious onward move
ment has ended successfully. For the
first time in a generation the courts
have done their full duty. They heard
the prayers of the people, sustained
faithful and efficient officers of the
law and administered the law in it's
letter and spirit, in the fear of God
rather than of man, or that part of
mankind that in one guise or another
has been the faithful and ever ready
defender of the saloon and the merci
less assailant of every man or officer
that has sought to do his full duty as
a citizen or public official. Now be-
cause few rumsellers-and some of
them the very worst and most dan
gerous of their class-have been con-
victed and sent to prison, temperance
men, law and order people, the offic-
ers of the law, should not suspend
their vigilance or intermit their eff
forts. The serpent has been scotch
ed, not killed. Liquor is still sold in
violation of law in Montpelier. New
ways to cover the traffic have been
devised. Keep up the movement all
along the line; tighten the grip on the
monsters throat. Eternal vigilance
and faithful activity will be the price
of future success and permanent pro-
gress in the well-begun work of sup
pressing illegal liquor selling in Mont
pelier. -Wdtchmdn.

A NIGHT OF TERROR.
Two Portland Ladies' and Two Men Car
ried to Sea i'm an Open Boat.

Two Portland Ladies' and Two Men Car
ried to Sea i'm Open Boat.
Friday morning two Portland ladies
staying at the Lawson House. Harps-
well, accompanied by two young men.
one of them graduate from the college
at Montreal, left Harpswell in an open
boat for the city. The southeast storm
of the previous night had evidently
blown itself out, and there seemed to be
signs of clearing weather. The party
reached Portland in safety. although
they found the sea heavy, for the wind
was strong enough to bring them along
quickly.
The party stayed in town but short
time, as they desired to get back to
Harpswell before night set in. If they
had possessed much knowledge of navi-
cation in these parts they might have
seen that the wind had shifted back into
the northeast quarter, and that the
signs were good for a tough storm. But
they started off, thinking they would
have no trouble. Before they had been
out very long the wind arose as they
reached the open places where the sea
had sweep. the boat began to labor and
the situation became serious.
In maneuvering the boat a heavy sea
smashed the rudder, and for few mo-
ments the boat narrowly escaped swamp
ing. Before the control was obtained
the boat was swept out beyond the line
of the islands, and then most perilous
voyage began. The boat shipped seas.
and it required the constant efforts of
all hands to bail out. At times it seemed
as if each moment would be the last
that the frail craft would remain afioat,
tossed as she was at the mercy of the
storm. The hours passed as If they were
ages. The bowling northeast wind drove
the boat before it, and darkness gath
cred, night came on, and the four occu-
pants of the boat, never expecting to see
home again, still strove to keep their
boat ahoat and to keep up their courage.
About o'clock Saturday morning,
after being exposed for thirteen hours,
drenched all that time to the skin and
more or less bruised and battered by the
pitching of the boat, the great waves
tossed them into Simonton's cove. Just
beyond Fort Preble. They were com
PEELED to leave their boat and wade al
most up to their necks before reaching
land, where they dropped on the beach.
AS soon as they could gather strength
they sought the first place of shelter
fisherman's house, and aroused the in
mates, who furnished them dry clothes.
wrapped them in blankets and gave
them a thorough warming, and later in
the morning they came to town in one
of the barges that run from the cape to
the city. Their friends at Harpswell
supposed they were safe in town, and
their friends in Portland supposed they
were in Harpswell. Some of the party
are suffering from the exposure. 1t was
a narrow escape from death and night
of terror to all concerned.-Portland

RThe Relation of Sounds, Colors and Taste.

with a sound by which a certain sound
will at once wildly arouse definite
