Winter Work.
The farmer should rejoice at the APP
proach of winter, not because 1T will be
a season of rest, but because it will give
him an opportunity to do so many
things that he has neglected in the
hurry of planting, cultlvating and liar-
vesting. There are many little things
for which there seems to be no great
haste. They can be done at any time,
and that means that they are never
done, or done in great haste when they
reach the point where they must be
done. When we were farming we used
the days which it was not suitable
weather to work out of doors in putting
all tools and machinery in good condi-
ton, including farm wagons and carts,
ana they were painted, il they needed
it. which most of them did even after
one years use. The work might not
, have been done very artistically, but
the paint served to protect the wood
from the weather. Then harnesses
We're cleaned, mended and oiled, and
repairs made on gates, fences, etc.,
while during the pleasant days manure
was drawn out, and the summer wood
brought home. All this so helped when
the spring work began that If we de-
sired to go ON a farm again we should
much prefer to take it in November
than March, unless we were sure that
our predecessor had been one who
spent the winter days In getting ready
for the coming scason.-American Gull

In an address on Right Living. he.
fore the Chicago Ethical Society, Will
lam NJ. Salter said: ITO simply ont
and sleep, that is not life. To be the
slave of work-of work that takes the
JOY and serenity out of life-that is not
truly to live. To have no time to think.
to have no days to ourselves, to never
let our minds expand under the lnflu
ence of great thoughts, that is not to
live. Nor is 1t living never TO enter the
atmosphere of principles and feel their
compelling and transferring power"
There is a cant of commerce as there
is cant of religion. The man who
works day and night, denies himself all
the joys of life getting and keeping
money, who builds up great fortune
and whose soul contracts as his wealth
expands-that man does not know how
to live, and when he breaches the gos-
pei of what he calls work he is guilty
of cant. Agassiz once remarked that
he hadn't time to make money. He
was too busy working Money getting

keeper and mental realize that truth
we Shall have right living. No work

The Story of Two Great Pres

A Comparison or and the Similarity Between the Issues of Jefferson and Burr and Bryan and Steven son.

New York. Sept. 1.-tSpecial Core spondence of The Republican).-In writing the number 1900 which I be- lieve is now acknowledged by all ;o mark the last year in the nineteenth and not the first year in the twentieth century. one is often invariably re minded of the political events of just one century ago: and if the writer is acquainted to any extent whatever with American history. he cannot but recall the memorable campaign which oc- cured in that year-a campaign which marked the accession of democracy to power
 This leads to comparison Of two campaigns. one of which is now on hand and another which occurred a century ago. Right here the writer wishes to suggest that it is quite diff ticult tO compare two occurrences. una of which has not taken place, and will say that he only intends to compare that palt of the present campaign which has occurred or may reasonably be expected jD occur.

She has confessed that she is also a forger and that she intercepted the mail of one of her victims ro conceal her crime. About six weeks ago Mrs. Bagley came to Vermont as a repre- sentative of the Lawrence, Mass. Knit ting company. She sold a bill of goods to the Howard relief mission at Bur- lingtor. After a series af fraudulent misrepresentations. it is alleged, in which she resorted to forged letters and bogus telegrams, she collected the money for the goods and appropriated it for her own use. At the relief mis- sion she got acquainted with d nurse. from whom she admits, she stole Il savings bank book and obtained $3S0 from the Burlington Savings bank with q forged order. The prisoner declares that she was prompted to commit the crime by a Concord man whose name the authorities decline to make public. Mrs. Bagley is 34 years old. She spent the $3SO obtained at the bank while on a trip to Montreal with her male ac- cOmplice.

MANCHU PROVINCES
The Bears Desire to Quit Pekin Made Known In Note From Ii Hung Chang to the Chinese Minister In London-An Explanation of the Delay of Messages from the Capital

London. Sept. 5.-4:55 a. m)-TO- days dispatches from Shanghai and Tien Tsin refer to the hopeless confu- sion and mismanagement of the Chin- ese telegraph system. which may prob ably account in part for the delay in getting news from Pekin. Another req son for the delay. doubtless is the anX- iety of the Chinese authorities to pro- cure the evacuation of the capital.
 No effort is being spared by them to bring this about. Their idea is that should the foreign ministers in Pekin be allowed free communication with their governments. the full extent of the complicity of the Chinese government in the anti-foreign outrages would be revealed and would lead the allies to decide to remain until retributiOn has been eXacted.
 All telegrams have to be conveyed by courier from Tien Nan Flu to Pekin and probably all cipher dispatches have been stopped. According to Shanghai advices. Ii Hung Chang wired the Chinese minister in London, Sir Chin Chen Lo Feng Luh as follows: Our St. Petersburg minister has persuaded Russia to leave Pekin. You are useless if you cannot persuade England.' It is asserted that Earl Ii has promised Russia three Manchurian provinces if she secures the withdrawal of the al- lied forces from Pekin and favorable peace terms from the powers.

ROGERS LoCoMoTtvE WORKS.
Business Men May Be Able to Keep the
 Concern in Operation.

Paterson, N. J., Sept. 4.-The mer- chants and public spirited citizens of this city are at work in a movement to secure a controlling interest in the Rogers Locomotive works with a view 10 keeping it in operation. Many busi- ness men state that they will sub scribe for stock should the feasibility of the plan to organize a company be demonstrated. The questions will be discussed at special meetings of the board of trade and business mems as sociations this week.
 Jacob s. Rogers, who owns a con- trolling interest in the concern, said today that he would consider any fair offer that would lead to keeping the works running. He said:
 ''I would suggest that each side go over the entire plan, and if they can not agree on a price for everything there. let them appoint an arbitrator whose decision will be final. It would not be necessary t0 raise cash for the stock or material. Bonds could be is sued and the property held by the pres ent stockholders as security for the bonds. The bonds fOuld be given at a low rate of interest. All the cash needed is enough to pay for altera- 1iOns and for a working capital. About $500 GOO or $4O0000 would be sufficient"

A Showing That Forty Electoral Votes Will Be Given Bryan From a Dis franchised Class Another Pam phlet Showing the Recognition the Colored People Have Received From the Republican Party.

New York, Sept. 4-The campaign committee of the republican national committee has now taken up the sub ject of what is known politically as the ''colorel vote" Campaign literature has been prepared. Two pamphlets were issued today dealing with the new notification and democratic disfran- chisement of negroes by constitutional provisions.
 One pamphlet bears the title: "The New Modification. Forty Electoral Votes Will Be Given to Bryan from a Disfranchised Class" A motto at the head of the document reads: The republican party broke the shackles of 100000 slaves and made them free. William Mckinley" The pamphlet shows how the democratic administra- tion has always been against the inter- est of the negro.
 The other pamphlet has the title. Our Colored Citizens. How They Have Ben Officially Recognized Both in War and Peace by the Republican Party It shows how the negro has been Denented by republican form of government and gives statistics of the number of cOlored citizens in the ser vice of the government. It shows that in 1899 there were 15,S6S positions, worth s5.53S,612. filled by colored men. A list Is appended giving particulars of the appointments made by Preside mt Me Kinley.

 How strikingly different were some If Toms views from Wills; while. in other instances. how peculiarly they correspond. Yet. those of today who affiliate with Bryan call themselves 'Jeffersonian democrats" Perhaps this could be made complete by adding that in the election of a century ago Jefferson and Burr were elected. but in justice to their opponents I will say that it was the passage of the alien and sedition acts that defeated the feder- aliSts ticket
