Bad management keeps more peo-
pie i'm poor circumstances than any
other one cause. To be successful
one must look ahead and plan
ahead so that when a favorable OPP
portunity presents itself he is ready
to take advantage of it. A little
forethOught will also save much ex-
pense and valuable time. Aprudent
and careful man will keep a bottle
of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the house, the
shiftless fellow will wait until neces-
sity compels it and then ruin his best

With Respect to the Dead.

Gazette-Republican newspapers
are continually telling us that Bryan
politically is more than dead. just
so, our own Pioneer Press has used
his name over fifty times in the past
three months. We presume this is
done SO that no one dare dispute
that he is beyond resurrection.
Funny though, how the dead bother
some people.
No, it's done because the Gazette
so seldom mentions BRYAN any more,
and the PRESS supplies the aching
void through sympathy!

it is REINFORCED by skill. A healthy
liking for outdoor sports is valu-.

right off the bat is the boys hero
from the physical standpoint, and it,
is but u step to being his hero from
the moral or intellectual standpoint.
Such a teacher, ii he is right in other

BILE for this sketch of Admiral Dewey's
school days;
When George Dewey was boy OF
sixteen, he hadn't the best reputa1
ton for orterliness. A fayorite vent
for his exuberant spirits consisted in
clicking the schoolmaster" But
one day schoolmaster appeared on
the scene who knew thing or two
himself about the clicking game.
He provided a good rawhide AMI
some well-seasonpd hickory sticks,
and when Dewey, backed up by two
or three other boys, opened the
ball they found the schoolmaster
ready. With hickory he quickly
laid out two OF the aids, and then IN
tackled tho leader with the rawhide
and before he got through with him
there were more stripes on the future
admirafs back and legs than there
are on the flag he has since SO brave
ly defended. Then he marched the
boy home to DIR. Dewey, his father, /.
remarking that he "was somewhat
the worse for wear. but still IN % :
good condition for school work.
The Doctor looked the boy over and
replied, "He is all right, he will be at
school tomorrow" And he was.
This schoOlmaster afterward enter
ed the Union Army, became Major
&C.. X. Pangburn, and subsequently,
won. distinction as a journalist.
Years after Dewey wrote him:

CYCLING VS.. WALKING.

The difference between the distance
covered by man walking the mini
mum of one step and that covered by
the cyclIst pedaling one revolution is
astounding. to say nothing Of the great
saving OF muscular energy. TO appre-
cate the difference we must. first UNI
dcrstand what Is meant by the gear"
Of the machine. There are two notched
wheels (sprocketsD, one fixed to the
pedals the other to the back wheel.
Increased circumforcntia speed is OBJ
tanned by making the front sprocket
larger than that on the back wheel
Thus, If there are "a notches on the
front sprocket and eight on the back
one, 1t is plain that when the pedals
have gone round once the chain has
engaged the "a notches on the front
sprocket. But as there are only eight
notches on the back sprocket 1t follows
that this sprocket must have gone
round three times 3xS equals
"a. the number on the front sprockeD
In order to keep pace with the pedal
sprocket The back wheel OF the cycle
therefore, with one turn Of the pedals,
goes round three times. The modern
bicycle has increased the locomotive
powers OF man to such an extent that
in order to cover as much ground in
one step in walk as he would at each
stroke OF his pedals he would have to
be giant IS feet In height. The one
revolution OF the pedals OF 120-gear
machine would be 81 feet 4 inches, and
to cover this ground our giant, cover
ing little over 10 feet a step would
have to take two OF them. --Golden

BEAR OF STRAWBERRY FLAVOR
Jack Fitzpatrick is Now Treating ;
Bear With vanilla, Also.

AS soon as a Maine man finds out
city people want and are wiling to pay
for, he becomes so devoted TO his spe-
cialty that he over does the business.
For two years casual mention has been
made of Jack Gilpatrick's efforts to
add checkerberry and strawberry flaw
oring to bear meat by feeding the live
bears on an exclusive diet Of berries
In 1879 he sold cheekerberry bear for
$65, which elated him so that he re-
solved to form checkerbefry bear
trust to control the worlds markets.
Last year checkerberry navoring not
being in demand, he modified his plan,
selling one pure strawberry bear for
$40 and another that was about half
and-half for $25. This year he has
made a speciality OF plain strawberry
bears, and is now raising them under
contract for delivery in Boston on or
before July 4.
AS few strawberries get ripe in
Maine before June 20, fitzpatrick has
fretted of late because the season was
cold and backward, giving him only a
short time TO put on the finishing
touches. One day when he was stand
irg outside his log cabin feeding mis-
bears on strawberry jam and wonder
Ing If he could afford such luxuries,
George Coleman. who drives a soft
drinks cart from Bangor to supply the
country soda fountains, hauled up in
his yard and asked for dinner. Gill
patrick doesn't run hotel, but when
he looked at the long, fiat cart and saw
the iridescent array Of tin-capped bot
ties he resolved TO lay himself out and
provide dinner that would compel
Coleman to call again. He was nearly
an hour in cooking and dishing up the
and while Coleman was praising
the food, Glpatrick slipped out
the back way and calling his pet
bears to the rear end of the
favoring they could drink On his
way back the next day Coleman
stopped again for dinner and com
planned about the boys Of Amherst and
Aurora, who lie said, had been stealing
his soft drinks
III they'd taken ginger ale or birch
beer said he, 4 wouldn't have felt
so bad, but they had to go and guzzle
down my best strawberry extract,
which Is worth 30 cents bottle"
While Coleman was still complaining
OF his losses the bears came from the
woods boiling LIt their tongues aud

They opened several bottles OF Deer

The cart made one or TWO trips two
days later, when the bears levied on 1t

Coleman'S losses that he furnished two
dinners without extra charge. where
upon Coleman, not to 6e outdone in
generosity, presented TO the hunter six
bottles Of tlavoring extracts. all of
which went to the bears as soon as he
cart was out of sight.
Gi'ptrick has quit walking on the
side OF the hill to see how the green
strawberries are getting along. What
ever time he has to spare from his
bears is devoted to writing postal
cards 10 his patrons. One card which
he has lately mailed reads as follows:

ONE OF OUR PERILS.

"Mischievous Is the irreverent and
scornful use of the tongue that often
yulgarizes the very temple OF sweet
ness and purity" writes Rev. Newell
DWiht Hills, D. D., in the Ladies'
Home Journal. "No person OF refine
ment and culture can doubt that ir-
reverence is one Of the perils OF our
day. In former times men entered
the cathedral, rich with colored glass,
with marble and pictures and rare
tape ,ries, to whitewash the fres-
Gees, smash statues, and use the paint
ings and tapestries for doormats. But
il has been reserved for our genera
ton TO enter the temple of reverence
to destroy all ideals, to rob the noble
names of their grandeur and the
MODEST places Of their majesty. To-
day yulgarity permits sanctity to at
tach to few objects or ideas. In 1896,
when Athens revived the Olympian
games and America sent its representa-
tiyes, there journeyed to that ancient
land vender OF patent medicines
who was discovered sticking an adyer-
tisement OF his porous plaster upon
the walls OF the Parthenon!"
