BEAUrIFY YOUR HOME.

The average person, whether on
his farm home or in the town or
city makes the mistake of his life
when he neglects to beautify and
surround his home with every at
traction within his power and
means. There is value as well as
beauty in these attractions. When
man comes along seeking a home
a farm well stocked with frmit
trees is wonderful incentive in
fixing his attention as well as the
price which he is willing to pay. A
house, however beautiful in archi
lecture and design, standing alone
on a bare piece of ground, unsur-
rounded by forest, shrubbery or
fruit treess, fails to arouse the in
terest of the passerby or the home
seeker. Add these and what man
or woman with heart and soul will
not pause to admire the scene
and commend the wisdom of the
OwnerY
Again, when it is considered that
it takes from five to six years fer
most of our fruit bearing trees to
come into bearing for profit or
family consumption, home fairly
stocked with a variety of fruit
bearing trees is no mean consider
alton aside from the actual value
which it imparts. When it is con-
sidered that all these and other at
fractions can be had for a mere
bagatelle in money and labor it is
surprising that anyone would neg
lect them. Even the mercenary
man will find a big profit in the
investment.
When one is seeking a home for
himself and family and finds such
place already stocked with fruit
bearing trees, he realizes the ad-
vantages which it presents over a
home without such attractions, and
he buys. for the very important
reason that he will not have TO wait
for long series of years for trees
planted by his own industry and
frugality to reward him.

AN INCIDENT OF COMMERCE.

A good many statesmen do not
seem to understand the difference
between commercial and territorial
expansion. So far as the aspira-
tiOns and interests Of the United
States are concerned, the latter is
only an incident of the former. In
pushing its trade into foreign coun-
tries the United States needs bases
of operation. Whether it needs
groups of islands in the West In
dies or elsewhere, as additions to
its territory, is another question:

COLONEL w. j. BRYAN is quoted
as having recently said: We had
a sugar trust and an oil trust some
years ago. Now we have biscuit
trust and a match trust and a meat
trust-in fact. a trust in almost
everything that is used. The milk
trust reaches the infant as he en-
ters the world, the ice trust cools
him in the summer, the coal trust
keeps him warm in the winter,
while the coffin trust waits to re-
ceive him when life's fitful dream
is over"

No recent magazine papers have at
tracted so much attention, afforded so
much entertainment, and created such
lively and widespread discussions, as
Rollin Lynde Hartt's Atlantic essays,
"The Montanians" and "a New England
Hill Town" In his new article, "The
Ohioans," in the November Atlantic, Mr.,
HART carries his characteristic method in
to new and prolific and widely interest
ing field, and his pictures of the Buck eye
State, and of the Buckeyes" at home and
abroad, will be eagerly read and enjoyed,
even by those who recognize themselves as
the subjects of his good-natured satire and
his keen and amusing Characterization.
Mr. Hartt has the unique faculty of seeing
the salient points of community, and pre-
senting the humorous side in a manner
that is not merely amusing, but also covers
a serious purpose, and keen and thought
full anrlysis of the situation. "The Ohioans"
shows a distinct advance in power over
Mr.. Hartt's former papers, and is of uni
versal interest--apart from its humorous
treatment-for whatever concerns the great
presidential state concerns and interests
the whole country.

Some OF Admiral Oewsy's EpIgrams.
From the Rutland News


Here is a list of some of Admiral Dew
ey's epigrams which every Vermont youth
should preserve. Fewp plain practical men,
not of what may be called literary tastes,
have contributed as many sayings which
will endure as has the great Vermonter:
Great crises make great men.
Sincerity is the pearl of virtues.
The men who succeed are generally
ahead of time.
1 am not candidate for President. /
never will be.
Artistic diplomacy is to say nothing and
say it we'll.
Politics should be less a matter of party
than principle.
Crush the rebellion first and then pro-
vide just government.
The plaudits and love of a child are
greater than the praise of a statesman.
The state of matrimony, like the state
Vermont, is very pleasant to enter into.
1t is very pleasant to be a hero, but a
continuous performance is hard on the
nerves.
A naval officer should be content with
the hOnors that come to him in his profes-
sion.
We may ask courtesies of acquaintance,
but favors should come at the hands of
friends.
In the case of the Philippines there is
mercy in force and untold misery in pro-
crastination.
Many a man has been made good citi.
zen by being soundly thrashed when he
needed it.

The Responsibility in the Philippines.

The sensation of the Presbyterian syn
cd at Erie, Pa, came at the session Friday
night with the address on christianity
needed in the Philippines" by Rev. j. S.
Hunter, who served in the islands as the
chaplain of the Pennsylvania heroes, the
gallant fighting Tenth. Chaplain Hunter
said:
1.-THE Filipinos are superior to the Gu
bans both intellectually and morally, and
people say, Give them independence
They could not maintain a stable govern
ment; they do not want independence as
you know the term. With them the idea
of government is an absolute monarchy.
1t is King Alphonso,' King Aguinado'
or king Mckinley as the case may be.
Absolute freedom with the Filipino means
license-license to murder or steal.
"More generals and leaders have been
assassinated by envious rivals than we
have killed. Aguinaldo will probably
meet the same fate. There is nothing else
for us to do but to keep the islands, in no
other way can we justify ourselves before
Almighty God. We can assume the re-
sponsibility and we must. To conquer
them we will have to kill few thousand
of them. They think nothing of that
We kill less than Spain did in time of
peace, and we give them some sort of
fair chance, while the Spanish method was
to imprlson and shoot down. After we
subdue them then the real problem be-
gins.
"The Philippines are the key of Asia.
and God has placed the key in our hands.
The question has often been asked me,
when can the war. be finished?' We can
finish it in six months and the only thing
necessary to do this is to place Gen. Law
ton or Gen. Macarthur in command and to
tire Gen. Otis. The instruction contin-
ues on account of mismanagement of Gen.
Otis"

HALIFAX CENTRE.
Time to Take n Brace

AS we celebrate our 150th anniversary
next May, it is hoped that some action
will be taken to bring new life into the
town of our fathers. Within 40 years the
inhabitants have fallen off 1870 per cent /;
farm houses are deserted and farms have
been left to grow up into woods. Now,
very few young people remain at home
after they come to age of manhood or
womanhood; if they do remain at home it
is only to remain single.
Something ought to be done about these
things and that at once. Some of our
neighbors are poorer with 300 or 400 acres
of land on their hands than an every day
laborer. This condition can be counter
acted If such landed men will meet and
plan to give away, to any one who will
build house within year after receiving
the promise of property, from one TO 10
acres of land.
Halifax is beautiful town with plenty
of fresh air and spring water. There are
people in Boston and New York who
would gladly come here and spend some of
their surplus money in the summer If they
only knew of the beauties of Halifax.
A few years ago the town of Whining
ton aroused herself from her lethargy, and
so received railroad connections. We are
only six miles from electric cars at Colrain
city, and still, we are willing to remain so.
Our forefathers have labored hard to es-
tablish the town and to provide for this
generation and they have left the town in
our hands to make Improvements. An
electric car system equalizes the valuation
of property. A property mile from the
centre of inhabitants is worth nearly as
much as that of the town.
Come now! let us, the inhabitants of
Halifax, show our ingenuity, show the
pride for our town that our fathers once
had, and prosperity will surely follow our
efforts
