Holiday Attractions.

This Is the season of the year that
Skowhegan merchants take special pains
to fill their stores with attractive goods
in great variety, to please holiday pur-
chssers and to allure from purses and
pockets the much desired dollar. 'The
last year of the century is no exception
to this rule. Tine loaded shelves, crowd
ed show cases and artistic windows of
our merchants are abundantly in evil
denee and the advertising columns OF the
REPORTER are very strongly corrobora-
tive.
The stories of these Holiday adver-
Users contain interesting information
and will be extensively read in Somerset
towns and to purpose. They are time'
saving narratives, schedules Of desirable
goods and grand bargains in great Va
riety, aud the way to verify the propo-
sitiou is to supplement the reading of
the printed story by personal examina-
ton of the merchandise described. Our
part of the program is to publish these
advertisements for consideration. We
have the facilities for doing this and can
reach many who need and want the
goods and place the arguments of adj
vertisers before them in an attractive
form.
Thus you have the advantage OF
general description of stocks of goods by
various merchants, put in readable form
by the printer, yet there is "missing
link. Purchasers, men, women and
children, with ready money or approved
credit, are the desiderata. You can help
these dealers, who, relying upon your
ability and inclination, have flied their
stores with carefully selected merchan-
disc, appropriate to the season, by max
ing your holiday purchases of them In
generous quantities. They have done
their best to please you and you can best
please them by visiting their stores and
purchasing their goods. We ask you to
visit their st ores and they must take the
risk of pleasing you and making the
sales. We think they will do so. You
can best determine the point by allowing
them opportunity to try.

The office of commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue made vacant by the recent
death OF Commissioner Wilson Is one re-
curing q man of experience in public
affairs and large executive ability. In
view OF this it is understood that Presi-
dent Mckinley purposes the appoint
ment of Hon. Joseph H. Manley of
Maine. This would be an excellent
choice. Not only has Mr.. Manley the
required ability bat he has had expert
ence in this line of revenue service. 1t
is said Mr.. Marley will not accept the
office Of commissioner Of Internal Reve-
nue. until next March after the Maine
legislature has adjourned, as he cannot
eonstitutionally be member of the
Maine Legislature and hold an Office
under the United States. He prizes the
honor of the speakership Of the House
higher than the honor and emoluments
Of an Office at Washington.

Burrage, was instructed to extend an
invitation to the National Gommahdery

brigade of colored troops in which he
commanded regiment and discussion
followed in regard to the part performed
by colored troops in the great war.
President Butler of Colby was among
the guests of the Commandery and
spoke briefly. One pleasing feature of
the exercises following the banquet, was
the singing of war songs by the com.
panlons, lead by DIR. Spencer of Skowhe-
gan, chaplain of the Maine Commandery.
Landlord Bradbury did the handsome
thing by his guests Ia the fine dinner he
served and in his courteous treatment of
his guests In his gem of hotel, The

"Failure," says Keats, lis, In q sense,
the highway to success, inasmuch as
every discovery Of what Is false leads
US to seek earnestly after what Is true.
and every fresh experience points out
some form Of error which we shall
afterward carefully avoid"
Defeats and failures have played a
great part in the history of success.
1t is not pleasant TO think that more
or less of defeat is absolutely neces
sary to great success. But that II Is
true every student of history knows
Defeats and failures are great devel
opers OF character. Tney are the gym
nasia which have strengthened the
muscles of manhood, the stamina, the
backbone which have won victories.
They have made the giants Of the race
by giving titanic muscles. brawny
sincws, far reaching intellects.
Tow true il Is that poverty often
hides her charms under ugly masksl
Thousands have been forced into great
ness by their very struggle to keep
the wolf from the door. She Is often
the only agent nature can employ TO
call a man out Of himself and push
him ON toward the goal which she had
fitted him TO reach Nature cares little
for his ease and pleasure. 1t is the
man she is after, and she will pay any
price or resort to any eXpedient to
lure him on. She masks her own ends
in mans wants and urges him onward,
oftentimes through difficulties and OBJ
stacles which are well nigh dishcart-
ening, but ever onward and upward
toward the goal.-Register.

The humming noise produced the bees
and flies expresses musical notation.
Thus the common house fly often pro-
duces the sound F. In order to do this
the creature must vibrate its wings ALTO
times minu,e or 1886 times second.
The honey bee frequently produces the
sound A, and vibrats its wings 10000
times a minute or 44o times a second.
In this way one can ascertain tine number
of vibrations the little creatures are pro-
ducing with their wing by finding out
what note they are humming.
