The New Library at Clinton.

Horace Purinton & Co. of Waterville
have secured the contract for building the
new library at Clinton recently provided
for by VIM. r. Brown of Portland, a ma
tive of Clinton. The building is to be one
story affair 30x60 feet, constructed of pink
granite from the quarries of North Con-
way, n. H, with trimmings of red free
stone taken from the Maynard, Mass,
quarries. At one side there will be a
tower which will lend pleasing effect to
the whole. The interior, which is to be
finished in hard wood, will be divided into
three rooms, the stack room, the reading
room, and the librarians quarters. The
stack room will at first be finished for the
accommodation of 10000 volumes, but
room will be provided sufficient to hold
10, 900 more Volumes The floor will be
of tile calculated to stand the test of years.
The cost of the library will be between
$1,000 and 81, 200. The contract calls
Tor its completion by June l, 1900, and
at that time Clinton will have an edifce

Among the other interesting farming
industries in Indiana is the gold fish farm
in Shelby County. The largest in the world
is located there, and known as the ''Spring
Lake Fishery" Over 1000, 900 fish were
shipped out of it last year. Many of them
found their way into the fountains in roy
al gardens in European countries. The
farmer is getting rich. There are two or
three weasel farms. They are raised like
skunks. Their market is mach the same.
Hickory nut orchards are the very latest
and require the most time for de velop-
ment. The farmers have cut out most of
their trees, and the boys have grubbed out
the saplings for bow making. The she'll

orchards are being set out. During the
last two years several frog farms have been
laid out in Indiana, and the American

They are worth from soc to 90c dozen.
There is big money in them.

''Now I'll post it before my courage
fails" she said, as she ran down to the
letter box The postman came presently,
and the act was beyond recall.
The next Observation-Disclosures Day
davned as clear and beautiful as many
ardent hopes were before the white-doved
envelopes had ceased their rounds.
John Hanson sat by his office fire, with
the discomfort which always returned
with each anniversary of the day. The
door opened. and the office boy entered
with a knowing grin upon his amused
face. to hand the merchant a large envei-
one covered with cooling doves.
..Valentine. sir?" he said questioningly.
ssWhat if it is? Get out of here"
growled his master, and he left the room
in double quick time.
As soon as he was alone John Hanson
opened the envelope carefully, although
he deliberately broke the two doves which
formed the seal. The first object that
met his eyes was his own offer of mar
rage, made twenty years ago-how SEN
timental it was! Yet it moved his heart
strangely.
Next came Bellies explanation-that
was clear enough, yet he could hardly
understand it. 1t took him some time to

his feet in very youthful way, ran his
fingers through his hair until it resem-
bled porcupine's quilts, and danced, actu-

coat tails stood out straight. and the office
boy, peering in, told his fellows that the
'boss was going mad, sartin, crazy as a
March hare"
Selling his hat he dashed into the outer
room, where Leon was at work at long
rows of figures.
PUT that up he commanded, as he
stopped beside him. Get your hat and
come with me-
Leon obeycd in wonder and the cars
soon left them near his own home. His
uncle hurried him by, and only stopped
when they reached Mr.. Preston's gate.
"There!' he cried, facing him for an
excited second. Call me what you please.

money in his pocket? A moral tone ought
to be infused into the profession which
should drive such men out of it."
He carried out this in his practice.
'Who was your guardian?' he asked a
young man who came to him to complain
that part of the property had been with
held. "Enoch Kingsbury," replied the
young man.
II know Mr.. Kingsbury," said Lincoln,
"and he is not the man to have cheated
you out of cent, and l can't take the
case, and advise you to drop the subject"
And it was dropped.
I'VE shall not take your case," he said
to a man who had shown that by legal
technically he could win property worth
$500. You must remember that some
things legally right are not morally
right. We shall not take your case but
will give you little advice for which we
will charge you nothing. You seem to
be a sprightly, energetic man; we would
advise you to try your hand at making
5000 in some other way"
Where he saw injustice he was quick to
offer his services to the wronged party.

pines, and has the universal reputation
of being an excellent soldier. In suppr
intending the affairs Of the army with
Dewey looking out for the navy, he has
shown unusual administrative talent, and
his knowledge of civil government. tariffs
and economics is as great as that of anv
officer in the service.
By birth Gen. Otis is a Maryander. He
is now entering upon his sixty-frst year,
but is exceedingly young in spirit and
physique. He graduated from Rochester
University in 1858 and was admitted to
the bar in the following year.
When the war broke out he went to the
front as captain of infantry, becoming
colonel Of the regiment and brigadier gen.
eral of volunteers in 1864. In all the
principal battles of the Army of the 70,
tomac he took part, and in the desperate
fighting around Petersburg he was
wounded. For fourteen years he served
on the frontier in various Indian cam.
paigns. When war was declared against
Spain he was in command of the depart
ment of the Colorado, and it seems fitting
that most of the enlisted men in his corps
are from that State and the Pacific slope,
Gen. Otis work in Manila, however, bids
fair to be the grandest monument that
man in his or any other position could
erect for himself.
