If what the News Standard says Of
the paving being done here is true
there ought to be something done.
Why would it not be a good idea to
have it tested and inspected by some
experts to see if it is really what we
are paying for. If it is right we want
to know it and give the contractor
all the credit that is due him. If it
is wrong We don't want any more of
it and we don't propose to spend our
money for it. The town will spend
every cent that it can raise for this
improvement. If it is not right when
it it completed we will be for ever al
most out of pavements and money.
This should not be allowed to come
on US unawares. We should turn On
the light.

ErnnkIin,s Mother.

In Franklin's autobiography there is
only the barest mention of his mother,
Abiah, and merely as the daughter of
lone of the first settlers of New Eng
land" Presumably. this silence was
due to the eighteenth-century attitude
towards women more than to any want
of affection, for the two correspondent

Franklin sent gifts of various kinds,
including "a moidore which
please to accept towards chaise hire,
that you may ride warm to meetings

he wrote his sister Jane: 81 received

Herr Puluj calculates that the oscilla-

to complete its sidereal revolution.
From this the orbits run up to nearly

HIS VACATION LUXURY.
He Had Himself Called Early Every
Morning That He Might Revel
in q Second Nap.

None but those who work late and
have to be called early in the morn
ing can appreciate the bliss of being
able to turn over and take another nap
after being awakened at the usual
time. A summer hotel proprietor OF
nearby suburban resort tells of his
recent experience with man who came
to the hotel to enjoy weeks holiday
and gave instructions to the clerk to
have him called every morning at 6: 80
promptly. Carrying out these orders,
the new guest was awakened the first
morning at the given time. When the
bellboy raped at the door the sleeper
answered all right and was heard to
give a sigh of delight, and the bell
boy returned to the office.
The next morning the clerk noticed
that although the guest had been awak-
ened as usual at $3.50 he did not appear
at the breakfast table until ten o'clock
The clerk, having his attention once at
tracted to this circumstance, uncon-
sciously noted that this same thing hap
pened two or three mornings in success
sion, and finally, after consulting with
the proprietor about the matter, de-
cided not to awaken the man at that
hour again, as he never seemed to get
up, anyhow.
After the second morning following
however, the guest called at the desk
and wanted to know why his orders
were no longer carried out.
81 requested you to call me every
morning at half-past SIX" said the new
conner, "and after doing so for few
mornings you have suddenly ceased to
obey my wishes"
"Well, SIR" said the proprietor, 1--WE
have noticed that you never came down
or even got UP until nine or ten o'clock,
so we thought we would not unneces-
sarily disturb your rest, knowing that
you came here to enjoy weeks recre-
alton"
"My dear sir, that is just where you
are interfering with my enjoyment of
this outing. 1 have been called every
morning for the last two years at half
past six, and every morning when was
awakened 1 felt that would give half
of my life to be able to turn over and
take another nap. Now, 7 have come
out here for that purpose, and I was
enjoying myself hugely until you
stopped waking me up in the morning.
Now, sir, if you wish me to remain a
guest of your hotel for the rest of the
week you will kindly see that l am
called at $3.50 every morning as long as
stay here. 1t isn't often I get holt
day, and intend to enjoy it to the best
of nv ability. ''+Washington Post.

THE FIRST KISS,

Sweetheart, twas but awhile ago-it scarce
seems yesterday.
Though now my locks are white as snow,
and all your curls are gray
When. walking In the twilight haze. ere
stars had smiled above
| whispered soft: II love you," and you
kissed me for that love!
The first kiss. dear. and then your hand
your little hand SO sweet.
And whittier than the white, white sand
that twinkled at your feet,
Laid tenderly within my own! Havequeens
such lovely hands?
No wonder that the whippoorwills made
sweet the autumn landsi
1t seemed to me that my poor heart would
beat 10 death and break.
While all the world-Sweetheart! Sweet
heart! seemed singing for your sake!
And every rose that barred the way in
glad and dying grace,
Forgot its faded summer day and, lean
ing, kissed your face!
| envied all the roses then. and all the
rosy ways
That blossomed for your sake. are still my
life's bright yesterdays.
But. thinking of the first, sweet kiss. and
that first clasp of hands,
Lies whippoorwils sing sweeter now
through all the autumn lands!
