APPLYING THE TEACHINGS.

A teacher in a Bangor school had Just finished explaining the use of the oltto marks, when she noticed one of her young searchers for knowledge search ing for it in a half-dime novel, So she made him stay after school and told him to write the sentence Always pay attnetion" 100 times In very short time he gave a glad shout: I've did it!" What kind of language is thatF she remarked severely; "and you surely haven't had time to do it." Well, l done it, then-anyhow, here it is" He held up his paper. The sentence was written once at the top, and the re- maining surface was covered with dots But you haven't done it' she ex- claimed. He gazed at her scornfully. Course I have-them's ditto marks made 'em 99 times-they're good things."- The Bangor Commercial.

year. The influence of better times, more stability in our finances and the stronger feeling of confidence prevail ing is seen in the increased sales at our store and especially in the demand for articles of higher grade and higher cost than last year or the year beforeo
 Samuel H. Kirby reported with his customary urbanity, enhanced by an unusually well filled treasury, our sales are decidedly ahead of those or year ago, and there is a large call for the higher classes of goods.
 J. H. G. Durant, the jeweler also re- ported sales much ahead of those of last year. People seemed to have more money to spend.
 At the Charles Monson company the holiday business has been very satis- factory and MT. Walker of the firm said that it was all that could be desired.

POINTING OUT HIS CAREER.

An old Dutchman had a beautiful boy, of whom he was very proud, and he decided to find out the bent of his mind He adopted a novel method by which to test him. He slipped into the little fellows room one morning and placed on his table Bible, bottle of whisky, and a silver dollar.
 Now" said he wen dot boy comes in, ef he dakes dot dollar, he's goin' to be a beesniz man; ef he dakes dot Bible, he'll be preacher: eff he dakes dot whisky, he's no goot-he's goin' to be a drunkart,' and he hid behind the door to see which his son would choose.
 In came the boy whistling. He ran up to the table and picked up the dollar and put it in his pocket; he picked up the Bible and put it under his arm, then he snatched up the bottle of whisky and took two or three drinks, and went out smacking his lips. The old Dutchman pocked his head out from behind the door and exclaimed:
 Mime graious-he's going to be boli- tician. ."-Boston Traveller.

The Democrats are growing
over the way old man Filley and
n few other disgruntled ''Republi-
cans" are kicking over the traces
because they have not received the
recognition from the party they
had an idea they were entitled to.
and our friends on the other side
are laying JUNCTION to their souls
over the thought that their party
will profit by this Republican dis
affection. We do not believe, how
ever, that the agitation Il few dis
appointed soreheads are trying to
stir up will extend beyond them
selves. a Republican from prin-
ciplc will remain true to his party
as long rs his convictions remain
firm. When be places the reward
Of Office above his principles he
becomes merely an Office grabber,
who has no real interest in his par
tvs welfare. Let us keep tab on
these gentlemen who are thus try
ing to disrupt the party for per-
sonal reasons; they will be among
the first to ask for favors at the
hands of the party when they
think their spite work is forgotten

Re gaining Paradise

Inventor Tesla says he has found
a way to harness the sun and make
it do the work of mankind. Bv a
simple device composed of mirrors
and cylindrical glass tank the
suns rays turn the wafer INTO
steam and the steam makes e!cc-
tricity, which can he stored in ~l.ii
cient quantities to supply heat. light
and power the year round for The
needs of men.
Tesla claims that his machinery
is simple and cheap and not only is
the cost of the plant light, but the
running expenses of the plant are
reduced to Il minimum. Thus at one
stroke the monopoly of fuel is dies
troyed and with it the heaviest cost
Of industrial enterprise. Heat,
ligh, and energy-the necessarieS
Of life and intlustry-are thus
placed within reach of all.
The inventor dreams of the time
when all the labor of men will be
performed by the sun for Il song.
Its a pretty dream, which may
come true. There is no known
limit to the achievement Of genius.
Although the first effect of in
vention, when controlled by capi-
tol, is to reduce the market fol
labor, eventually the mass of peo-
pie share in its blessings. Produc-
ton and distribution may be $,
simp|ified and cheapened that tn,
solution of the economic problem
may be rendered easy. All mel
may bask in plentiful leisure. 1t i.

As enemies bcca'ise they differ in

Hc should aim to harmonic, not
with the harmony of weakness, but
with fairness, by giving everybody
his dues.
This would not mean that he
should be neryeless or manthat has
never been allied with either of the
factions. There is not an able man
in the state who has never been
either a Filley or an -Fillev
man. He must be an anti -Filley
man, not in the rabid significance
of the word, but in the one-man
idea which distinguishes Filleyism.
Many of the formerly warm FiIley
supporters have been good Repub-
Iicans, and the organization should
be broad enough to recognise their
reasonable claims to patronage.
But no man in Missouri should
fancy that he is the whole show.
While there is little danger of an
other man occupying the personal
position Filley has held TOR truth
compels the admission that the
power of Fil!ey along this line has
been renlarkable). yet such an evil
must be guarded against. Bossism
is the same whatever brand it bears.
The new chairman must be a Rep
buiican, with no enemy but the
common enemy, Democracy.
In addition to this first requisite,
he must be pure above suspicion.
Ho should he tactful, should have
Il thorough knowledge Of the state,
and should make an aggressive
campaign, not simply to maintain
the organization, but to win. A
study of the condition Of the state

The Democrats, apparently,
are possessed with the idea that
Dingley tariff should have over
come the deficit in the first six
months of its operation, and are
severely cliticizing the law because
it has not accomplished this result.
The law is all right and is inclea>-
ing the revenue from month to
month. in December the receipts
had already exceeded expenditures,
and while this excess may not be
continuous at once, the indications
are that by the end of June the

The Pennington ''Times" hopes
that the year 1898 will bring forth
some tangible evidences of the
prosperity he has heard so much
about. Bro. Fisher ought to com
pare the price Of farm products
during 1897 with that of a few
years preceding, look up the pub
lished statements of the banks in
his county and note the increased
deposits during the year just
closed, and then take a turn through
the lead producing districts in his
vicinity, and if his free silver cowl
is not too dense, we think he will
observe something tangible.

Wanted-A State Chairman.

The Tribune believes it too early
to consider the man for state chair
man Of the Republican organization,
as several Republican contempo-
rarics arc doing. The first thing
to decide upon is an ideal. The
state chairman should be broad.
cool, pure and experienced. He
should be above petty prejudice
and factional narrowncss. He
should aim at pacifcation instead of
to determination. Should be willing
to coucede rewards of merits to all
active Republicans, whatever
crowd they train with. He should
not arrogate all virtue to himself
