A Good Guess.

A Boston teacher had been giving a
familiar talk on zoology to class of ten
year. olds in grammar school. To test
their intelligence he said, in the course of
his remarks.
"Who can tell me the highest form of
animal life?''
A little girl held up her hand.
"Well, Mary?"
ely ena," shouted Mary, seriously but
triumphantly.
Repressing smile, the teacher said:
SIS it, Mary? Think again. Is hyena
the very highest?'
''Oh, now l know" cried Mary; it S
the graffe.'' Harper's Bazaar.

ALBION, Nov. 1.-THE work Of laying
the rails Of the Wiscasset & Quebec rail
road from here to Burnham is progressing
finely. Seven miles have now been laid
and more are being put down each day
At present there remain less than four
miles to lay, which will not take many
more days. The bridge bids were opened
in Wiscasset and let TO- day. The contracts
call for the work to begin at once, so that
there will not be any long delay on ac-

Attorney I. E. Richardson returned
Saturday from trip down the line as

must have been successful one and

those mysterious visits that have tor
some time past been looked upon with
suspicion by his Langdon friends. 1t
was half-past three Saturday afternoon
when Rev. Dougan performed the cere-
mony uniting Attorney Richardson and
Miss G. M. Kirk, of Park River, as man
and wife. The bride ranks among the
most charming and accomplished of
Park Rivers society buds and has for
some time past been engaged as stsno-
grapher and typewriter in the Offices Of
Judge Libby and the First National

cile of Mr.. and Mrs. Richardson a. their
suite of rooms over Mrs. Blakely's store.

UNDOUBTEDLY the effort will be
made at the coming session of con-
gress to enact currency legislation
that will be satisfactory to Wall
street. This will mean the calling
in of the treasury and Sherman
notes, leaving national bank notes
as our only currency and probably
placing the burden OF their re-
demption upon the government
OF course it is their plan (the
goldbugs) to contract the volume
of currency with a consequent
further reduction of prices as q
result. Farmers do you think
this republican financial plan will
give give you even the present
prices Of your products? The
gold crowd will attempt to face the
measure at the coming session, fol
they, rightly, are afraid that the
complexion OF the next congress-
will be too white and not yellow

evidence that the seed will with

idea is not to grow fall wheat, but
merely to have the seed in the
ground, ready to start with the
first breath of growing weather in

proposition would not work out
satisfactory; but, on the other
hand it might. At any rate, it
would be a small matter to make a

One of the members of McKin.
ley's executive cabinet, Hon
Lyman J. Gage, who is secretary
Of the treasury and owns a big
national bank in Chicago, is al
loggerheads with the president on
the finance question. His latest
move, evidently made in accord
with expressed views of his brother
bankers of Wall and Lombard
streets is to retire the greenbacke
and issue gold bearing bonds fo1
them, turning the bonds over to
the national banks and have them
issue their promises to pay in
place of the governments promise
to pay. Mckinley knows as we'll
as all other quiet thinking men
that the frantic clamoring of the
gold-bugs is without avail. That
we are not doing business on a
gold-basis and furthermore are
unable to because we haven't the
gold to do it with. Both Mac
and the people are ''onto" the
three card monte game that Sec.
rotary Gage would like to "rinq

THERE is an experiment in
wheat growing that used to be
talked of more or less among the
early settlers, though we are not
aware that it was ever fairly put
to the test. It is the sowing of
spring wheat in the fall. Many of
the old settlers had a notion that
fall sowing, to limited extent,
might work to advantage, in the
way Of earlier maturity and heavier
yield. 1t is we'll known that the
climatic conditions offers no obiec-

"ONLY SCORCHED."
The personal organ of congress.

The personal organ of congress-
man Dingley, whose name is
attached to the revenue deficit
tariff law, remarks, after surveying
the results of the last election, that
the silver question was "only
scorched, not settled, that the con-
gressional campaigns of next year
will be fought out on the line OF
1896.
This statement is the result of
the out come of the recent cleo
tions, in which Kentucky and
Nebraska showed how they would
vote next year and the year after.
Mr.. Dingley's personal organ
seems to think that Nebraska
should see in the rise in wheat a
"refutation of the Bryan theory
that wheat and silver are linked
together by the Almighty" OF
course Mr.. Bryan has no such
theory as that, and the men have
never advanced any such argument.
What they did and do say is that
owing to the fact that the silver
using nations compete with our
wheat growers in the worlds
markets, the prices of wheat and
silver, under ordinary conditions,
rise or fall together. That has
been demonstrated by the statistics
of twenty odd years, aud is today
confirmed by the fact that wheat
rises in price when there is no
competition from silver-using
nations. These countries have
had no wheat for export this year,
and, consequently, the price has
risen.
Nebraska also sees what every.
body else must see-that the in
crease in the price of wheat is
simply the depreciation of the
dollar with respect to that cereal.
So far as wheat is concerned: the
dollar has lost nearly half of its
purchasing power, so that all the
good that has been accomplished
by the rise is the result of sinful
and an immoral 50.cent dollar.
With respect to ''scorching' and
burning" we think Mr.. Dingley's
organ makes full, though per-
haps unintentional admission that
the republican party was some
what scorched in the recent cleo
tions. Next year it will be still
more thoroughly scorned, and in
1900 it will be badly burned.
That seems to be the outlook
now. But we think Mr.. Dipgley s
organ would help its party some
what if it could convince the peo-
pie that the Dingley law is pro-
ducing revenue instead of creating
a deficit. The figures show that
the excess of expenditures over
receipts are SIS, 100000 this year
as compared with s20,090,00G in
1895. Is this the result that Mr..
Dingley intended to produce?

Bits OF Wisdom.

A wise woman Will have her husband
so well trained that when she tells him
thing once it will be enough. Men
hate to have Il thing "dingdonged into
Them" as some of them elegantly ex-
press it. l am "a very even tempered
man, but l think my self praise would
suffer severe shock if my wife told mo
toorder barrel of flour when we first
got up i'll the morning and then repeat
ed tho command six times at tho break
fast table, twice while / was putting on
my overc0at and gloves and then fol-
lowed me to the gate to scream it out
after INC as [ turned the corner. Men
hate that sort of nagging.
a wise man will not tell his wife any
lies, not even little white ones. If he
must lie, no will BIO safer and wiser if
he lies to some one less likely to uncov-
er his duplicity. 4 wife is II regular
ferret i'll matter of this kind. | never
told mine harmless little fib i'll my
life that she didn't expose me before tho
sun went down. 1t is wonderful what
clever intuition women have i'll this di-
rection. 1t is dumfounding to men who
arc not always absolutely truthful. Tho
