Rnufe M Pronounced.

There are numerous excuses for the
pronunciation of the word route, and
a man may hardly 60 amiss to choose
his own style. Down south they say
always rowt. In the north, among the
educated classes, we hear root. Here
also we hear, lower down, especially
among the hyphenated Americans, rut.
The Irish, even big folk, say rut. The
original Webster gives the pronuncia-
ton as rowt, with an admission of
root. We have adopted root because
Of a French leaning. The word rut,
meaning a deep track in a roadway,
cut by the rim of a wheel, is simply a
contraction of route and rout. The
Century dictionary says root or rowt,
preference for root. We also say
rootine for routine; why not, therefore,
root for route? Rowtine would sound
funny.-New York Press.

HIS RULING PASSION.

A Pittsburg minister Of the gospel
tells this story on himself: He has
reputation as a collector" He Is al
ways ready TO raise money for any
purpose within the scope of the work
Of the church. He allows few Sun
days TO pass without reminding his
people in one way or another of their
duty to give freely within their means
to church and charity. He preached
sermon on "Plato's hell" He de-
scribed II as a place where those con-
demned to 1t would suffer the torment
OF having their ruling passions on
earth uppermost at all times without
the means of gratifying them. AT the
conclusion of the sermon he called the
attention of the congregation to col
lection that would be taken up for
worthy object. After the services he
met an old parishioner. a gardener,
who spoke bluntly.

sion on you to-day, James," he asked.

James; land l may venture to hope,
sir, that you may continue to serve the
Lord well, sir. TO the end Of your days,

minister. But what particular con-

THE Courier talks as though the pres
ent democratic board of supervisors had
inaugurated the custom of letting the
printing of the proceedings of the board
OF supervisors to the lowest bidder.
Such is not the case. This piece of work,
the largest single piece of printing at the
disposal of the board, has been let by
bids for many years, and always to the
lowest bidder until this year, when the
reform" board awarded the contract
to the highest bidder The Courier
would lead the the public to believe that
the Northerner has usually done this
work under republican administration.
Not so. Only once has the Northerner
been awarded this work in the past six
or seven years, and then because there

Judge Martin Grover Of Troy, n. Y.
was at one time approached by n young
citizen who wished to be nominated to
the state assembly. The shrewd old
judge had certain doubts about him
which he expressed somewhat freely
and yet he was willing to afford him a
trial. He therefore addressed the as.
pirant in this way:
Young man, If you will give me
your word that you won't steal when
you get to Albany, I'll see what kin be
done about sendin you there"
Judge Grover" replied the young
man, drawing himself up with great
dignity, II go to Albany unpledged or
don't go at all"

The Courier says "the fact that we pro-
posed to publish in two papers is the only
reason the Courier was awarded the con-
tract" for printing the proceedings of
the board of supervisors. The Northern
er insists that the bid of 70 cents per
page was lower than the Courier's bid of
80 cents and that we were entitled to the
contract. The Courier knows that it
does not pay ID cents per page for circu-
lating the supplements in the Bangor
Visitor. Indeed, it does not pay 15cents
for the entire service. The Visitor has
in the two former years the proceedings
have been similarly awarded, contracted
to pay the Courier for furnishing the sup
plements and, while we have no know
ledge of the agreement between the two
papers for the present year, presume the
same condition yet exists. The Courier
was not the lowest bidder; the Northern
er was. The Courier is a democratic
newspaper; the Northerner is republican.
The board of supervisors is democratic
and awarded the contract to the demo-
ocratic high bidder. The taxpayers can
draw their own conclusions as to the mo-
tive that actuated the democratic ma
jority The Northerner calls it partisan

THE GREEDY CATFISH.
His Eating Capacity as Wonderful
as His Hold ON Life.

The catfish belongs to an ancient
type not yet fully made into fish. and
hence those whose paired fms are all
properly fastened to the head, as his
are not, hold him In well merited
scorn. He has no scales and no bright
colors. His fms are small and his head
and mouth are large. Around his
mouth are eight long "smellers,"
deshy feelers, that he pushes out as
he crawls along the bottom in search
Of anything that he may eat. AS he
may eat anything he always finds 1t.
His appetite is as impartial as that Of
goat. Anything, from a dead lam
prey or a bunch of sunfish eggs to a
piece OF tomato can, Is grateful to
him.
In each of the fins, which represent
his arms, is a long, sharp bone, with
Shiny surface and a serrated edge.
These are fastened by ball and sock
ct joint, and whenever the fish is
alarmed the bone is whirled over and
set in place; then it sticks out stifily
on each side. There is another such
bone In the fin on the back, and when
all of these are set there is no fish
that can swallow him.
When he takes the hook, which he
surely will do if there is any hook TO
be TAKEN he will swallow it greedily.
AS he is drawn out of the water he
sets his three spines and laughs to
himself as the boy pricks his fingers
trying to get the hook from his stom-
ach. This the boy is sure to do, and
because the boy Of the Mississippi
valley Is always fishing for catfish Is
the reason why his fingers are always
sore. The catfish is careless Of the
presenl and sure of the future. After
he is strung on a birch branch and
dried in the sun and sprinkled with
dust and has had his stomach dug out
to recover the hook, If he falls into the
brook he will swim away. He holds
no malice and is ready to bite again
at the first thing in sight.-Popular
Science Monthly.

CHINESE COURT HISTORIANS
They May Write the Truth, For Their
Work Is Secret.

There are court historians In China,
as there are in other countries, but
there is one striking difference, and it
lies in the fact that the work of the
Chinese court historians does not see
the light until the reigning dynasty
comes to an end.
In this way these Celestial historians
have an opportunity to describe most
truthfully the virtues and vices of the
valorous rulers and the real signiti-
canoe of the events which take place
during their regime. They can write
what they please without fear of CEN
sure, for they know that their work
will not be published as long as the
reigning dynasty lasts.
This has been the rule for more than
1000 years, the first court historian
having been appointed by the impe-
rial house of Han, which reigned from
206 B. G. until % A. ID.
The duty of these historians is to
write plain accounts of all the events
that occur during their tenure of Of
flee. At regular intervals their COM
pleted work is taken from them and Is
locked up in an iron safe or vault.
There it remains until the first member
Of new dynasty ascends the throne.
1t is then given with all the other
histories in the vault to the court
historian, who is then living, and from
the mass of documents he is expected
to prepare a truthful history of the
dynasty which has just expired. The
present dynasty has been reigning
since 1910 and consequently no court
history has been published since that
date.-St Louis Post-Dispatch.
