Reputation.

In the "Memoir' of Lord Bramwell
is telling illustration of the fact that
reputation clings to us, even after many
years. The great jurist as little lad
became pupil at DR.. Reddy's school,
where the late Baron CHANNEL, three
years his senior, was head boy.
Channel read for the law, and the
two school friends scarcely met again
until, years afterward, Mr.. CHANNEL
held a brief in certain case at Maid
stone assizes.
Consultation with the solicitors
showed flaw in the pleadings drawn
by them It was of a sort which in
those days would prove fatal to the
case. The solicitors could only hope
that it would not be discovered.
"Who is against us?' asked Chan
nell
"Oh," was the reply, "a Mr.. Bran
we'll. Nobody ever heard of him be-
fore.
"Then, gentlemen, said the advo-
cate, 'we're done. was at school with
that gentleman.
He was right Bramwell was too
clever for them, and they were 'done"

JUDGE SIEBECKER of Madison, has de-
cided that if bicycle rider falls or sus-
tains an injury on account of dog
swapping or barking at him, the owner
of the animal is responsible for damages.
In a recent case a cyclist obtained $500
damages by reason of being thrown from
a wheel on account of the dog attacking
him. The owners of vicious dogs that
delight in attacking cyclists should cut
this out and paste it in their hat.

At recent meeting of the Kennebec
Water Power Co., Charles A. Dunn
was elected president and auditor in the
place of the late Sumner Hoilingsworth,
deceased. As representatives of the
new companies to join the company
these directors were elected: N. w.
Cole, of the Edwards Manufacturing
Co., 81. NJ Mansfield, Fairfield Junction
Mills and Water Power Co., K. W..
Heath, Skowhegan Water Power Co.
1t was voted to spend in conjunction
with the Kennebec Log Driving Com
pany, 5000 to be used in clearing the
river OF Instructions. The most impor-
tant part of the meeting was when 1t
was learned the real cause for low
water in the river. The water has
been very low for several days 30 much
30 that the situation looked little
serious. At the meeting it was learned
that there are two feet OF water held
back at Moosehead lake. The gates
have been closed for a few days that
the repairs might be carried on 80 that
there was little trouble. In addition
repairs were being made on the dams
at Skowhegan so that even more water
was being held back. Now that the
real cause has been learned there is
not the slightest feeling of uneasiness
among the mill owners. There Ia
water enough at the lake to last for
some time and this In addition to the
precipitation and rain fall that must
come, will insure power enough.

Moneys Worth Many Times
 Over

It costs one SO little to obtain a newspaper that he is apt to forget what a costly production it is. Land and sea are wired to bring the news frorI all quarters of the globe. Special writers in literature, seieL ce, politics. religion, finance, music, sports and drama are employed. Here is a vast expenditure of time money and brains, the results of which are to be had for a trifing outlay on the part of the reader.
 The newspaper is the champion of the vital interests of the people, its columns being ever open for the humblest individual to set forth his wellgrounded grievance. or to ex- press his opinion upon a living issue. Here is all open court, where public opinion sits i'll judgment, and be- cause most people stand in fear oi public opiuion the daily daper is a worthy defender Of the rights of a mmunity. Moreover, the news paper is the ablest detective we have. Arogue fears it much more than he Tears the police. He may elude the bluecoats, but let the p.ess send out a description of him and he has cause to tremble for fear, for 1t is hard to escape the arm of justice when every newspaper reader becomes a detect i've at his heels.
