yACATION TIME

Is at hand and is gladly welcomed by
all, especially those whose duties In Life
have caused them to greatly run dowI
their system to meet the requirements,
physical and mental, forced upon them.
1t is important, whether ut home,
at the seashore or In the country, that
some thought be given to diet, and AZ
further assistance to nature, good
building-up medicine like Hoods Sara
parilla had best be resorted to. II the
digestion ls poor, liver deranged and
frequent headaches seem to be the rule.
Hoods will change al this and enable
everyone to return to their home and
business In refreshsd state Of mind and
bodily health.

lOhN,S Letter.

Ii is seldom that am out nights for it

you must GO. Ii will be big thing and
Miss Parker will recite." And so
went to the entertainment that marked
the close of the TOO brief but highly sue
cessful school that has been held In the
village. Nezinscot Hall was filled to
the rafters with enthusiasm and folks.
The Buckfield Orchestra with three from
Callahan's Orchestra, Of Lewiston, led
by Prof. McConathy Of Kentucky, made
melody of the choicest kind. Watching
the professor was almost as good AS
listening 10 musical sounds for there was
silent music in all his movements. Prof.
Mason's system ought to be introduced
into every school in ChristendOm. Ii Is
so easy and simple that | would think
the dumb might sing. Miss Parker's
first selection was rather difficult to
render. She showed skill for handling
the subject but there was no thrill" In
il for me, but there seemed TO be for the
large audience, as she was called out.

Mrs. Weeks is a descendant Of great

from Connecticut to Pennsylvania in the
Of the century. There are

acts. Voting Is the test. / have no |

RIGHTS OF PROPERTY.
The Spirit of Free Coinage Is Essential,
 Socialistic In It's Tendencies.

The Spirit of Free Coinage Is Essentially
 SociaIistic In Its Tendencies.
 It cannot be denied that the spirit of much of the free coinage literature is distinctly opposed to those rights of property which are at the bottom of our whole social system. It is not needful to dwell on the fact that human prog ress is only possible when the producers of wealth are protected i'll tbe posses sion of all they create. The examples of those countries where property is inse- cure is sufficient proof that the enjoy ment of property is the first requisite of civilization.
 Various schools of agitators, such as the socialists, communists and anarch- ists, are seeking to abolish the institu- tion of private property. 1n the cheap money agitation which issweeping over the country we find the essential ideas of the socialists. etc., in another form. There are i'll this country large mum. Der of people who have saved a little money, which they have loaned out to others The advocates of free silver boldly clain that the result of the adop tion of their money scheme would be to take from all creditors one-half of their property by enabling debtors to repay their loans with dollars worth half as much as of those borrowed. This js nothing less than proposition to take the property of those who have saved money and invested it, and to give it to those who have borrowed, or, in other words, the confscation by law of one half of all the loans of the country. When tho farmer and workingmen un- derstand that this is the real object of the free coinage agitation, will they continue to favor the attack on private property?

SHE SHAMED THEM.
Courage and Tenderness Exhibited by a
 Young Woman.

Here's story of girl whose cour- age brought the blush of shame to a number of strong men. A trolley ear of the Peoples Traction company while bowling along Germantown avenue, near Ontario street, struck small dog. The animal rolled under the ear and became wedged between the motor box and the truck frame. The car was stopped, and the poor dog lay there, bowling pitifully.
 It was found to be impossible to ex- tricate the dog from the outside, and the conductor accordingly went into the car and lifted the trap in the floor. The dog lay directly under the opening, with his mouth gaping wide i'll agony. At the sight of the dog the conductors 8 courage forsook him, and he gave up his intention of extricating the poor brute. There were about 45 people ill the car, thirds men, and five of them policemen. None of these men, however, offered to relieve the dogs suffering
 A pretty young woman who sat near the open trap appealed to the men to take. the dog out. No one responded, and so she stopped down herself and lifted the dog carefully from under the truck. The other women applauded her loudly, and the men joined ill rather sheepishly. Philadelphia Record.

A Financial Charlatan.

The Minneapolis Tribune says: "Con- gressman Joseph c. Sibley of Pennsyl- vania is put forward as the sil7erite candicate for the presidency. Mir. Sib- ley is not widely known to the country, but he gave the public some taste of his quality in his speech at the Memphis convention on Wednesday evening. The gist of his speech is contained in the four following political axioms, which, he says, embody the result of his study of the money question:
 First. Double the volume of mon- ey, and you double prices.
 Second the volume of money, and you diyide prices.
 "sThird. Double the volume of mon- ey, and you divide the debts.
 Fourth. Divide the volume of money, and you double the debts.
 ''If MT. Sibley's first proposition were true. how easy it would be for govern ment to regulate values by simply .in- creasing or decreasing the volume of circulating medium If doubling the volume would double values, quadrup- ling it would quadruple values and in creasing it thousandfold would make every dollars worth of property worth $1 ,O00. In this way property could be increased in value sufficiently to make everybody rich. '-Baltimore Sun.

A suit involving $94, 1000, 900 worth of property is soon to be brought by the heirs of Jose de Jesus Noe against the owners of the land, improved and un- improved, in that portion of San Fran cisco known as San Miguel Rancho. The complaint is now in process of com pilation, and copies will be served on upward of 1000 defendants, including the city and county of San Francisco, the Southern Pacific Railway company, the Stanford estate, the Crocker estate, Adolph Sutro and all the land compa- nies which have been organized to buy and sell land in that district.

A PROGRESSIVE REPUBLIC.
Rapid Growth of the Population and Power
 of Argentina.

Rapid Growth of the Population and Power
 of Argentina.
 Some of the figures of the new census of the Argentine Republic that has been taken this summer have been received It appears from them that the growth of the country has been steady and rap- i'd during the past quarter of century, and that next to Brazil it is now the most populous, as it is the most pros porous, of all the countries of South America.
 When the last Argentine census was taken, 25 years ago, the population was l,7S7, ,000. but within that time it has risen to 4,750, 900. according to the sta tistics of the new census The increase has been over 5000, 900, and it is going on, in these years, at rate surpassing that of any previous period in Argentine history This is a remarkable record, without a parallel in the annals of South America. The population greatly exceeds that of Chile, with it's 3, 900, GOO inhabitants, or that of Peru or Vene- zueia or Bolivia or Colombia, while it is three or four times greater than that of the lesser republics, Ecuador, Para quay and Uruguay. It is one-third as large as that of Brazil, the most impor- tant of all the countries of the South American continent. Since the year of the census preceding that of this sum- mer Argentine has taken its place next to Brazil-New York Sun.

Remarkable Experiences of Young Girl

Remarkable Experiences of Young Girl
 Somnambulist and Her Family.
 Mir. John w Kinsey, superintendent of the new city postoffice building ill Washington. has received news of strange accident that happened at his home in New Philadelphia, O., few days ago. One of his daughters, a bright girl, 14 years of age, is somnambulist, and one night recently arose from her bed and walked out of window g feet above the ground. She fell that height, receiving no injury, the fall not even awakening her. A small dog belonging to the family. discovering it's young mistress asleep on the ground, began licking her face and thus awoke her. She then got up and gained entrance to the house again.
 MT. Kinsey has all his life been en- gagged in work of more or less danger ous character. He is an expert in the construction of such buildings as the postoff1ce building, and in his younger days was frequently engaged in work at great height. On one occasion he fell 55 feet, alighting on his feet, and sus- tained not even a bruise as memento of the occasion. Again he fell distance of 28 feet, but was unhurt He has 8 son now at work on the seventh floor of the postoffice building, the son having the same fearlessness in regard to work ing in dangerous places as had his fa- ther.
