Last week we reproduced :
from the Monroe City DEMO
GRAFT all article critlcising the
official conduct Of Representa-
tive WhitecottOn. This week
we give the views of the Paris
Mercury. 1t must be evident to
Mr.. Whitecotton's friends that
politics is not his forte. He is
a fine orator aud lawyer OF
ability. But he lacks that sell
control and tinesse so essential
to success in politics. Without
probably intending it he has
greatly weakened his party by
his course in the legislature and
we sincerely trust at the con
clusion of his present term he
will eschew politics and devote
: himself to the law.-Marion

Maud and the Judge again.

Maud Muller jumped on her time worn bike
For an evening hit at the dusty pike.
An old drop frame Of away down gear
With a rattle the sleeping dead could hear.
The judge came pounding along behind,
Out airing his great judicial mind.
lie noted the figure neat and trim
And graceful motion of hidden limb.
And he said to himself in his grave delight:
"Whatsmatter with MaudieS She's all right!n
He drew beside her and asked her fiat
Why she rode such an old ice cart as thatH
And she said saleslady could i'll support
Such wheel as the judge of the district court.
He told her she could on a chainless ride,
With diamond frame, if she'd be his bride.
Or If she would bust up his solo life
They would tandem together as man and wife.
Maud bit at the bait like hungry trout,
Aud the old judge smiled as be yanked her out
They ride on a tandem now of course,
But Maud has to work like treadmill horsel
For the Judge has learned how to sit and shirk
And let his darling do all the work
He weighs two hundred and ifty-one,
But the poor girl thinks 1t an even toni
And she often says with pain-rent heart:
II wish was back on my old ice cartf"

The truest are these: He's a bloomin' faker

How He Got Rich.

Darius o. Mills, financier and philan-
thropist, started on his road to fortune
with nothing but a good physique and
large determination. He is now worth
S25, 900, 900, and he has acquired that
amount of money by observing these rules:
First.-Work develops all the good there
is in a man, idleness all the evil; there
fore work if you would be good and sue
cessful.
Second.-Sleep eight hours, work II and
pick your recreations with an eye to their
good results.
Third.-Save 81 out of every So you
earn. 1t is not alone the mere saving of
money that counts; it is the intellectual
and moral discipline the saving habit en-
forces.
Fourth.-Be humble, not servile or I'M
dignifed, but respectful in the presence OF
superior knowledge, position or experience.
Flfth.-Most projects fail owing to poor
business management, and that means a
poor man at the helm.
Sixth.-Success is measured by the
good one does-not by the number OF his
millions or the extent of his power

Request for Peace CONFERENCE.-THE
eraI skIrmishes.
The Filipino officers who entered the
American lines on Saturday brought a re-
quest from Aguinaldo that he bepermitted to
send a representative Of his government to
negotiate for peace. Gen. Otis refused the
request on the ground that there was no
Filipino government except on paper
There will be another conference. Four
teen American prisoners, oil enlisted sol
diers, we're delivered up by the Filipinos
at Manila on Saturday. The prisoners
unanimously praised their treatment. One
man SAID: 1--WE have been given the best
the country afforded, fine houses for
quarters, servants, good food, plenty of
wine and a money allowance. Aguinaldo
visited us and shook hands. Three of tie
boys refused to shake hands with him"
Judging from the stories of the prisoners,
they have been lionized by the people.
They report that five sailors, survivors of
Naval Cadet Woods party, arrived at
Tarlac Wednesday. Though small inn
portance is attached to their Judgment,
they agree in saying that the Filipinos all
say that they are tired of the war, but
will fight for independence TO the last"
The released soldiers also say the idea of
Independence has taken firm hold Of the
FlipinOs, ard they threaten, if co quered,
to eXLermiuate the Americans by assassina-
ton. Aguinaldo seemed popular among
all the people the prisoners met. The
country, they say, is full Of rich crops.
All the prisoners have stories of interest
ing experiences. Those captured at
Caloocan were marched along the railroad
at night, through towns occupied by the
Americans
While Aguinaldo only offered to release
the prisoners in Tarlac, there is - eat dis
appointment at the fact that Lieut. Gil
more's party failed TO arrive. The inter
prefer said that Gilmore and his party were

Gen. Otis has informed the war depart
meut Of the arrival at Manila of the trans
port ST. Paul, with seven troops of the

The naval expedition sent to Orani, on
Manila Bay, sheled the town and succeed

which was sunk by the insurgents recently.

The Filipinos on Tuesday attacked

Cyrus Miner of Leyden, who was ar
rested for stealing horse which he took
for treatment, he being sort of horse doc
tor, was before Judge Dana at Turner'S
Falls Saturday. The evidence against him
was not conclusive enough TO warrant
holding him. After his discharge he was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Smead and
taken to Greenfield on a warrant charging
him with evading board bill at the Elm
House more than year ago. He gave
bonds for his appearance before the court
next Saturday. The officer had kept his
eye on Cyrus and was ready for him when

The committee on athletics of Brown
university has decided that A. II. White
more, who has been playing left guard on
the varsity, is eligible for the team. The
question was raised week ago, and at
previous meeting of the committee there
was such a division of opinion that the
matter was taken under advisement.
Whittemore is the old Vermont Academy
base ball and foot ball player, who was a
tackle on the Brown university team of
'97. He then enlisted in the regular army
and started for Manila. He was sick at
Honolulu some time and was then sent
home.

MRS. charles Hawkins.

The sudden death of Gertrude Percy
Hawkins, from acute bronchitis, Oct. 3,
was great shock to the community She
was known to be i'll but was not supposed
to be critically so until within few hours
OF her death. Mrs. Hawkins had spent
nearly all her life among us and had many
warm friends.
She was married in November, 1880, to
Charles W. Hawkins. She was faithful
wife and most devoted mother, and her
death seems peculiarly sad from the fact
that she leaves four children, the eldest
but eight years old Besides her husband
and these little ones she leaves a mother,
Mrs. Hortense Percy, and outside this
family circle are many relatives and friends
who feel her loss deeply. Mrs. Hawkins
was a sister of Mrs. Atwell Farwel of
this place. In her girlhood she united
with the Congregational church in Brat
tleboro and afterward removed her con-
nection to this church.
