Told of Daniel Webster.

1t is never safe to say things to the
ragged, unkempt men one sees and meets
a-6shing by some mud pond or stream.
This truth is illustrated by the case Of
Daniel Webster.
Webster was a fisherman and had sloops
and smack in which he used to enjoy
the pastime. He was not over.fastid-
ious in his 6sherman's dress. If he tore
his clothes he did not take the trouble to
have the rent sewed up, and when enjoy
ing his sport he was tolerably rough
looking customer, according to Roches-
ter paper, whose reporter interviewed
Mrs. Dawes, a resident of Marshfield in
Webster's day.
Webster and Mrs. Dawes uncle were
fishing one day from the shore Of the
bay, when stylish young fellow, Wis.
itor at Marshield, tumbled head over
heels into the marsh. The tumblel
yelled at Webster, asking how much hi
would take to haul him out and carry
him over the mud.
"a quarter !" answered Webster, ant
the deed was done. Whereupon thu
quarter was turned over and Webster
had started away, when the mud-stumb
Ter asked:
"To whom am indebted?"
"Only Daniel Webster"
The man said afterward that he apollo
gized for his superciliousness, and did no
reckon other people up according to tn
number of tears and patches and mud OF
their clothes-[ New York Sun.

Low Rates to Boston.

Boston is a place which can be visited
time and time again and new attractions
will always be found. The theatres are
always found to have entertaining and
instructive programmes while other
modes for entert ainment are not lacking.
The Worlds Food Fair at Mechanics
Building is an exhibition which everyone
should visit, for under its vast root is
gathered bewildering arrangement OF
food products, the equal OF which has
never been seen. The concerts which are
given daily, are a source of great pleas
ure while instructive lectures are gwen
by prominent people at the Home Con-
gress which is meeting every day.

Good Advice From Moody.
Everett, Mass.

D. L. Moody, in one of his addresses at
Manchester, n. H.. recently, spoke Of the
great need of enthusiasm in Christian
life. Following is a selection in which he
refers to Bryans enthusiasm:
Enthusiasm should be installed in
every one OF us. Weshoud be filled with
enthusiasm 365 days in the year 1t is
a great factor in the Christian life to be
enthusiastic
"There is more excitement in one night
in one of the saloons here in Manchester
than there is in all the churches in the
city in the whole year.
81 like the way Bryan carries on his
campaign. don't believe a word he
says, Qaughter), but then he is enthusi-
iastic he is alive, he has faith to win and
he works toward this end. Phil Sheri-
dan was worth more than 10000 men
because of his faith and enthusiasm. His
men wanted a battle with Phil to lead
them. Theirs is the kind Of faith we
want in the young mems association.
The scripture says, 'one man shall chase
a thousand and two shall put ten thous
and to fight 1t takes about 10000 to
chase one man now"

PROFITABLE PUBLICITY.
Advertising Before Election.

By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, JR., of New York,
Doctor of Publicity.
These are troublous times.
Will it be Mckinley?
Will it be Bryan
1t must be one or the other.
Mckinley men honestly believe that
Bryan's election means transient, orr ever
lasting, ruin.
Bryan men believe that McKinley's
election means the uprising ofthe monop-
olists and the downfall Of labor.
Both parties predict disaster if the
other party wins.
They can't both be right.
This is great country.
The United States is great in sense,
great in wealth, great in capacity, great
in healthful activity.
Whichever way the election goes there
must be business
Folks are tired of doing nothing.
A progressive people forbid the contin.
uance of hard times.
St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1896-10-16

Reaction means action, and reaction
always follows lack of action.
The American people don't know how
to stand still
The American people must move.
American progression is strong enough
to stand against everything.
This country will not sink by weight
OF gold or by weight of silver.
So long as folks continue to eat, sleep,
wear clothes and live in houses there
must be business.
Public confidence is restoring itself, and
election, or no election the equilibrium
of trade must arrive.
Don't bother yourself about the Ma
tons business.
Bother yourself about your own bust
ness.
Citizenship does not allow political in
difference, but citizenship need not inter
(cre with the minding OF your own bust
ness.
Because so many are not soeXtensiveIy
advertising is all the more reason why
you should advertise more extensively.
There is trade waiting for you.
Let people know you want it.
Advertise.

Divine Aspirations.

Lord, help MS climb those sunny heights,
Above lifc's clouds and storms,
Where we can walk and talk with thee,
Though still in human forms;
Where thou wilt teach us how to seek
The blinded, erring soul;
Inspire the heart with wisdom's truth
To seek the heavenly goal;
To sympathze with poverty,
And lend a helping hand
TO all who need their fellows aid;
AS Jesus gave command.
For only those who in their life
Reflect the Saviour's love
Can hold communion with Him here,
Or reign with Him above.
In all our journey help us keep
Close to thy loving side;
Then thou wilt prove thy promise true,
with us always abide.

ILLINOIS Republicans have
been plunged into an anti-ma-
chine fight similar to that which
is disturbing the party in this
State. The present leader of the
machine is John r. Tanner, a
Chicago politician, who has been
encouraged by the recent Re
publican success in the State to
think that he can be nominated
and elected Governor. The bet
ter element Of the party is ar
rayed solidly against him. L
seems to be the fate of the he
publican party that its brightes'
prospects must continually bt

Charlotte Observer: Judge
Ewart, of the Western Criminal
Circuit, was builied to address
the Republican Club of Asheville
last Monday night but for some
reason did not. For his own sake
and that of the robe be wears we
are certainly glad he did not.
Those of us who are old enough
to have taken notice of events in
NorthC Carolina for the past thirty
years have seen some strange
sights, but none of US have wit
messed the spectacle of a man
with the commission of a judge
in his pocket, standing up and
making a political speech: May
we never. We choose to believe
that in this case Judge Ewart's
sense of propriety and of what
is due his station got the better
of him.

ENGLAND FOR PEACE.

There is clearly an overwhelm-
ing sentiment in Great Britain in
favor of a peaceful settlement OF
the Venezuelan dispute. The
idea of war with the United
States finds little favor in any
English quarter.
The speech from the throne
and the utterances of the leaders
of both the great English parties
breathe the spirit of reconcilia-
ton. The Queen said:
1.-The Government OF the
United States has expressed a
wish to cooperate in terminating
the differences which have ex-
listed for many years between
nv government and the Repub-
lie of Venezuela upon the bound
airy and my colony of British
Guiana. I have expressed my
sympathy with the desire to
come to an equitable arrange
ment, and I trust that further
negotiations will lead to a salts
factory settlement"
Lord Salisbury has laid aside
the insolent manner which char
a~cterized his correspondence
with Secretary Olney and at the
opening of Parliament stated ex-
plicitly that negotiations for a
settlement of the Venezuelan
controversy would soon be re-
sumed. Mr.. Arthur Balfour, the
government leader in the House
of Commons, declared that there
never was any intention to VIC
late the substance of the Monroe
doctrine and expressed the hope
that some permanent system OF
arbitrating differences between
England and America would be
devised.
Lord Roseberry, late Liberal
Premier, asserted that the An
glo-Venezuelan dispute night
fully rests upon the question OF
arbitration" But the most re-
markable of all the speeches was
that of Sir William Vernon Har-
court. the leader of the Liberals
in the House of Commons, and
one of the most powerful men IN
England.
He ridiculed the idea that En-
gland should endeavor to enforce
her demands, and declared that
her title to a large part OF the
territory in dipute is very doubt
full. His attack on Lord Sallss
bury's policy was severe ana
forcible. He said that While
there are questions beyond the
reach of arbitrations this is not
one of them, and rejoiced that
the Queens speech held out the
hope of an immediate adjust
ment Of the dispute. The speech
was one of the most remarkable
that has been delivered in Par
lament in a long time and ADDS
greatly to the fame of Sir Will
liam Vernon Harcourt.
These expressions from the
Queen and from the men that are
commissioned to speak for both
the Conservatives and Liberals,
prove that England looks for
ward to a peaceful settlement Oh
a question which threatened wal
a few weeks ago.
We are sure that these ccncll'
iatory expressions will be re-
ceived in the proper spirit in this
spirit in this country, and thai
our government will be as fair as
that of England in whatever ac'
