SaxtOn and Soil.

Does it pay to farm in this section?
Well, yes, we think so. Atany rate, ask
Ed' Sexton, who only short time ago,
went to tilling the soil.with his muscle
ana will as his principal assets, but he
has made out to keep the wolf from the
door for time at least, any way. This
year be sold 1900 bushels of potatoes at
50 cts, which were worth 1854, and be
sold 1900 bushels at II cts, which were
worth at this price 1881. He esti-
mates that it cost him TO raise these
potatoes about $40, leaving him net
income of 1925. Beside this potato
profit Mr.. Sexton made $500 off of his
wheat Only two or more years ago he
bought a small farm of G. H. Hines
and this is the result.

BE Like the Holly.

The holly is the plant that belongs
to December. June's roses are sweeter.
and the goldenrod Of September makes
a finer show on the river banks. but
the holly, with its green leaves and
bright berries, holds its place in the
hearts of us all. For the holly is an
evergreen. Roses fade and drop their
petals after few days of blossoming.
the golden-rod has its little day before
the frosts leave it blackened and for
lorn, but when December's winds blow
most fiercely and snow is in the air
the holly is as bright as ever.
There are people who can be as
the roses Of June when all is fair and
sunny. There are friends who show a
smiling face on pleasant day, and
then lose all their friendliness at the
first hint OF frost. But through twelve
months of the year we cherish in our
heart of hearts those on whom we can
depend in times of storm and cold.
This world would be dreary place if
it were not for those whose love and
kindness and good spirits are ever

a few months. Mr.. Chas. Patsold has
made the business men of the village
a proposition to erect a solid brick

good as the Merchants which burned
last July, provided suitable site be
given Mr.. Patsold as bonus. This is

A Good Record
Over $4,000 in New Buildings
and Improvements in Prince
ton the Past Year. :

The past year has not witnessed any
unusual amount of activity in the build
ing and improvement line in Prince
ton, but nevertheless, the improve
ments in the way of new business
blocks and houses, as we'll as minor
improvements foots up over $1,000,
certainly not a very bad showing in a
year when there has not been only
what might be termed normal growth
in the way of Improvements. With
the completion last year of the four
new brick buildings which T. H. Galley
put up, the business section of Prince
ton was pretty well rebuilt, and there
was little need for further improve
mehts in the way of new business
blocks this year, though the new build
ing Of the Odd Fellows and the Town
send building we're quickly filled up as
soon as completed Of course the big
addition to the business center OF
Princeton the past year has been the
Odd Fellows building, mention of
which is made elsewhere in this issue.
Princeton is growing right along and
as the volume of business increases
from year to year there is demand
tor additional store room, and another
year will no doubt witness the con-
struction Of several additional store
buildings to afford room for the con-
stantly expanding trade of our busy
and thriving town.
The building record in the way Of
new houses and Improvements made
by property owners generally makes a
good showing, but despite the new
houses that have been put up the past
year there is great scarcity of houses
in Princeton, and in onother year many
new residences will be built. There
are parties who are figuring on putting
up several houses to rent and sell. and
they will have little trouble in finding
tenants and buyers. Princeton is en-
joying a safe and steady growth that
is gradually making it a bigger and
better town than ever. A building
and improvement record of $4,000 and
over in single year, in a place that is
already built up, is not bad record,
and shows that there is something in
and back of the place.
The following is a list Of the new
buildings and the improvements that
have been made here during the past
year:

UNPRECEDENTED PLEDGES"
One of the Ways in Which the Unwary
 Are Tricked Out of Money.

| One of the Ways in Which the Unwary Are Tricked Out of Money. Recently there have been added to the city's heterogeneous commerce several | little shops which offer for sale mostly at auction to the highest bidder and to
 the only bidder, too, if his bid be high enough, jewelry and other articles that go under the name of unredeemed pledges. There are tricks in all trades and this particular trade is the subli- nation of all tricks
 In the first place there is something alluring in the term ''unredeemed pledges"
 All such stores employ them with phe- nomenal lungs, who cry their wares in basso profundo. In one of them there Is a fellow with a voice that would be conspicuous in a den of roaring lions. He is always coherent and the volume of breathy sound that comes from his mouth seems to be reverberated from every surface in the esta blishment. Generally he is telling the merits of certain watch, or the price he has just been offered for the timekeeper, and as a passing pedestrian reaches the door ways he raises his voice a little, which secures an involuntary turn of the head. Often curiosity is aroused and the passerby goes in to investigate.
 When one enters the shop the "auc- tioneer' is probably announcing he has Just been offered a ridiculously low price for a fine pair of earrings.
 tTt +1A, t,,,r 4x 1nA tt,lc elegant pair of earrings go at that price?" he asks, and there seems to be genuine distress in his voice.
 Perhaps the next article offered is watch.
 'Ah! What have we here? A watch? Well, so it is and a beauty. too.''
 And then he goes on to tell how the owner of the watch was forced to part with it. It is always a pathetic tale. Young man; health failing for long time; no money saved; mother dies suddenly; the watch is pawned to pay for the funeral of the dear old lady.
 He signs deeply, but stiles his emo- ton and proceeds with the sale.
 Look at this watch and tell me what 1 you think of it,' he says to tall indi- | vidual standing near the showcase,
 T have no need of a watch" replies | the man.
 But look at it. You don't need to l ouy it.'
 A critical examination of the watch | 'ollows and then the man who had no need of it. offers perhaps $5. The bid s at first scorned, but after much talk s reluctantly accepted.

tions were collected from Polish stu dents. It assumed for the benefit of the accused that they were ignorant of the ultimate aims of the league, and &C., cepted their explanation that they con- sidered it's object to be the promotion of a Polish national sentiment. The plea that it was merely in order to avoid attfacting the attention of the Russian authorities that secrecy had been observed in the conduct of the league and of the societies dependent on it was not considered valid. Secret societies are forbidden by Prussian law if their object relates in any way to public affairs, and it was clear from the evidence that the societies to which the accused belonged came under this prohibition.
 If the Poles at Posen want to con- tinue to conspire they will have to be more secret about it than they have been. They are not going to be allowed to carry on with impunity any move ment in the direct ion of separation.

4 WAsT MET.

We suppose there are some people in
 New Haven who are longing for undy- ing fame without any clear idea of how
 they are going to get it. It gives us
 pleasure to be able to help such people
 to realize their ambition. A Chicago
 publishing firm sends out a circular an- nouncing the proposed publication of a
 biographical encyclopedia which shall
 include the names of all people worth
 knowing, or, to be precise, of "all peo-
 pie who have attained any prominence
 whatever" It is hoped, says the circu-
 lar, that all will be sufficiently alive to
 the importance of such work and the lasting benefit to be derived from plac- ing their names, side by side with those of our most honored ones, in volume that will be found in public libraries and reading rooms throughout the world, and which is ultimately destined to go down to posterity as an enduring record of the most eminent people of the nineteenth century. All are ad- monished not to withhold, through mo- tives of false nodesty or pride, the in- formation required, and those persons entitled to representation should, through themselves or their friends, see that their names are sent in and all facts correctly reported, bearing in mind Ahat without such a record the most illustrious names would be lost in oblivion and their posterity deprived of the gratiflcat ton and advantage of ref erence to an honorable ancestry.
 Here's your chance. Those who don't want their posterity deprived of the qualification and advantage of refer ence to an honorable ancestry should immediately with the Chi cago publishers. "All people who have attained any prominence whatever" is and generous.
