Bangor Wants Shoe Factory.

The proposition of the Commonwealth
Shoe Il Leather Co., of Whitman, Mass,
to establish factory in Bangor providing
the city will build four-story factory
building, 175x4i, with steam equipment
and main shafting, seems to meet wit h
favor by the Bangor city council.
The factory would have a capacity of
300 cases, which it would probably in
crease to 800. The company's plant in
Whitma cost 300 900.

CHRISTMAS FESTIVALS.

Happy by Santa Claus.

Happy by Santa Claus.
Christmas brought with it the usual
Joyous festivals of the Sunday schools.
Santa Claus visited some OF the schools in
person, and in all We're evidences OF his
visit. Christmas trees sparkling with
tinsel and ornaments barely outshone the
sparkling eyes of the children. Christ
mas JOY prevailed in all.
CONGREGATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL.
One of the prettiest festivals was at the
Congregational Sunday school. Here the
children played games until Santa Claus
made his appearance, reindeer and all.
He was welcomed with shout OF joy by
the children, and after the distribution
of presents, he had the iolliest kind OF a
romp with them.

Catholic church were OF the usual high

mass at I, high mass at 10 and vespers at

for bread and meat? The demand for
Western food must originate in the East.
!. If the West uniteS with the South ia
forcing upon this country a policy which
frightens the East, how Will Eastern la
Dor be employed and how can it buy
Western food?
"It is because it u.s." says Bryan.
Whoever heard statesman use such
words?
That was a very adroit campaign wall
Chairman Jones issued for funds. The
silver kings will see to it that Jones has
all the money he needs, but he considers
it strategy to make "a poor mouth" AN
the same.
Rev. DR.. Macarthur of New York
sweetly says that the free silver move
ment consists solely of lungs, lunacy
and larceny"
When Bryan had a chance to help the
farmer he did what he could to down
him. He voted in Congress for free
wool. That alone hit over 100000 OF
American sheep raisers.
1t is an insult to the poor man to say
that silver is the poor mans money. A
poor man is entitled to as good money as
the rich man.
The old soldiers will rally once more.
It will be on November 3, and Mckinley
will be the color bearer.
Every President of the United States
has been either lawyer or a soldier, or
both.
The people are swarming to hear Nc
Kinley. Bryan travels about the country
to find audiences.
The duty of every man is to make his
income equal to his expenditures and it is
the same with nation.
And the Democrats are now complain.
ing that the Republican plan of campaign
educates too much.

A POpulist Belief.

A resident of Poughkeepsie few days
ago received letter from friend in
Nebraska in which it is shown what
the mental caliber is of some of the be-
levers in free silver. The Nebraskan
who wrote the letter heard Populst
explain the meaning of 16 to / to a
group of attentive listeners.
He said that if Bryan should be elect
ed he would sell his grain this fall and
demand payment in gold. Then he would
go to the mint and receive $1,000 in sill
yer for each $500 in gold, and with that
silver he would pay off the mortgage on
his farm. He admitted that some of
his neighbors did not explain the mean
ing of 16 to 1 in the same way, but he
was quite sure he had the right under
standing of it.
Such a story seems almost too absurd
to be true, but it may be assumed, log
ically, that man who thoroughly and
honestly believes that the carrying out
of the financial policy laid out at Chi
cago will believe anything else that
would reveal itself to normal minds at
once as nonsense.-Albany Express.

Nominally, yet. Really, no. If wheat

The Humorous Side.

In storming the citadel it begins to
look as if Tom Watson was to be left
"outside the breastworks."
Bryan has been fishing too. 1t beats
all what an Unborn penchant Democrats
and Popocrats have for fishing.

It is safe to say that what Mrs. Lease
and Helen Cougar advocate, the rest
of the country better steer clear of.
The managers don't seem to know
where to place Bryan so as to do the
most good. He might take a sea voyage.
Bryan is quite a talker. He can wind
up his vocal organs and go off and leave
them and no stoppage will be noticed.

He Swallowed the Bullet,

"You didn't know 1t was loaded, did
you, auntie?" was all brave little Harry
Quick said after he had spit out three teeth
and swallowed tho bullet. The gun was
an old fashioned, muzzle loading rife. 1t
had reposed amid cobwebs and dust in the
garrett for years. On Monday Mrs. Quick
came down town shopping, first sending
Harry to spend the day with his aunt. A
young son of Mrs. Taylor, intending to
bring to close the lives of some rats
which infested the back yard, had that
morning carried the rifle down, cleaned,
loaded, cooked and placed it on his bed.
Here Harry found 1t, and, as the rifle was
too heavy for him to lift he climbed upon
the bed and proceeded to examine the
mechanism from that point of vantage.
Mrs. Taylor saw her nephew playing there,
and, although she didn't think the gun
was loaded" to make assurance doubly
sure, she picked 1t up and dropped the
hammer.
An explosion followed.
Harry, saying trustingly to his aunt,
"You didn't know 1t was loaded, did you,
auntie?" fell to the floor.
After the smoke had cleared away the
bullet was found to have entered his face
between the cheekbone and the nose, pass
ing down into his mouth, where, after
knocking out three teeth, it abruptly stop
ped. Harry, with nice discrimination,
swallowed the bullet and spit out the teeth.
Harrys father was telephoned for, and
hurrying to the scene had tho child car
ried home. A physician was Immediately
called. He assured the family there will
be no serious results from the wounds and
that only slight scar will remain to tell
the story Of the accident Chicago Trib-
