THE TOWN FIDDLER,

He amt no good at workin'-
Jest loafs around all day;
He never made no cotton,
An amt ahead on hay.
He never made a campaign speech,
An hardly ever votes:
An all the money that he knows
Is plain one dollar notes.
Don't say word in meetin';
Don't talk much on the street;
But you jest git around him
An shuttle with yer feet
An then you'll see that feller
Knows how to walk a chalk!
Jest put some rozzum on his bow,
An make Il fiddle talk!

The r1erritt Liquor Law.

There are one or two novel points IN
a liquor law just proposed by Repre-
ser ta tive Merritt of the Indiana legis-
la.Lre. 1t requires the removal from
drink shops of all methods of conceal
ment, such as screens, painted windows
and the like; forbids the presence in
saloon of pool or billiard tables, music
or other enticement; and makes the en-
traL ce of any person into the room, on
holidays or Sundays, prlma facie evil
dence of the illegal sale of liquor. This
latter clause is based upon the supposi-
ton that If liquor be not sold in such
pisces during prohibited hours, nobody
of convivial turn of mind will waste
his time in them-an argument pretty
stlcnC in fact, however inconclusive in
1CEic. Another provision of the Merritt
bill requires that the license shall be
taken out in the name of the person
selling the liquor; and that it may be
withdrawn If any of the foregoing pro-
visions be violated, in which event the
holder shall be disqualified for two
years from getting another. This pro-
vision, reinforced by heavy penalties,
makes this bill powerful one, as H.
cense bills go.
1t might be asked of Representative
Merritt why, if the saloon business be
sufficiently obnoxious to justify such
severe restrictions it is not obnoxious
enough to warrant total prohibitions
and how, upon any terms, he can toler-
ate state partnership in such busi-
ness, to the extent involved in the high
license system. These would, we fear
be troublesome questions for him to
answer, but not more troublesome for
him than they are becoming for those
persons generally who advocate the
licensing of a business that, according
to the very terms of such license, Is
manifestly Objectionable. Neverthe-
less, we recognize that public senti-
ment will move only SO fast in this
direction; and legislation to be effec-
tive, must not be far ahead of public
sentiment. This Is about the only ex-
cuse intelligent citizenship can offer for
the license system as it is Familiarity
known in many portions of Pennsyl-
Sania.

posted also and believe as we
do. Go over this island and
whenever you see "A wheel
towering in the sky the word
"Acrmotor" will appear ON the
rudder. nine times out of ten.
Ask Paul lsenbcrg what he
thinks of the Acrmotor; ask
Luther Wilcox tie same
question; ask the man in charge
at the Lumalilo Home; go to
the other islands, where we
have have erected over 1870
mills. and each and every
owner will tell you that it runs
smoothly; they regulate per
fectly; they do not jerk the
pump as other mills doi the
fitting tower makes oiling an
easy matter, its runs when
others stand still.
The most serious defect in
direct motion pumping wind
mills is the violence with
which they handle the
pump. The whole trouble
comes from the common
method ofconnecting the pump
directly with a crank ON the
wheel shaft. In the pumping
Aermotor this trouble is OBJ
waited by means of back gear
ing, so that the wheel makes
three turns to one stroke of the
pump, or enough SO that the
wheel may run at its naturaI
speed in any moderate wind,
without doing violence to the
pump or its connections. This
gives the pump a long stroke
instead of the quick, jerky
short strokes of the ordinary
windmills. The "Graphite
Box" bearings are not a por-
ton of the Aermotor; a gun
metal box, which is in itself the
best bearing known, is used
This bearing is made with a
large upright tube, which is
filed with machinist's waste
saturatedwith oil. This arrange
ment makes the best and most
lasting method Of oiling. 1t
is the one adopted wherever
constant use makes frequent
oiling necessary. If Graphite
bearings were all that is claim
ed for them, railroad men
would have been the first to
adopt them. The fact of the
matter is, the Graphite bearing
in connection with windmills
has only been brought out tc
obviate the necessity of using
the fitting Tower, which is
thoroughly covered with
patents by the Aermoter Com
pany. There is nothing in the
world to prevent the builders
| of the Aermotor or anyone
else, from using a graphite box
if it were worth using. There
is no reason why it should not
be used in reapers, mowers ano
wagons if it We're worth using
1t has been known a dozen
years and has been experiment,
ed with very much longer thai
that, and yet it is advertised
and occasionally sold to unsus
pecting victims on the
guarantee that it will last
twenty years without oiling
when as matter of fact, almost
as many instances could be
found as there are places where
the boxes have been used, tC
show that they squeak ano
scream before they have run
four weeks. But the worst
feature is that they make the
windmill run very hard, weaI
out very quickly, and detract
much from its power.
If you want a strong, stiff
steel fixed tower-or if you
want the tower you don't
have to climb, and the Wheel
that runs when all others
stand still then buy an Aer-
motor. No other piece OF
machinery obtainable will show
such gratifying results for the
money invested as an Aer-
motor.
