Mr.. Jowders looked gloomily at the
letter to which he had just painfully
affixed his signature and then cast a
dubious glance at his wife.
"Do you want to just run this over
before | send ii TO son James," he in
quired, and when Mrs./Jowders shook
her head he hastily folded the sheet,
which bore the marks of hours of toll,
and thrust 1t into an envelope, which
he sealed with trembling expedition
and then haned back In his chair with
an air of relief.
II was afeared you'd want to read 1t,
and then most likely 'twould be all to

Verdi and Bismarck ON Titles.

The composer Verdi was offered a
title of nobility by King Victor EN-
manuel 1t was intended that he should
be created Marquis or Comte de Bus
seto, after the estate upon which he
lived. The composer refused the offer
energetically. He considered that Verdi
was somebody and that the Marquis de
Busseto would be nobody.
Even Bismarck was unable to parry
a blow of this character. When the
young emperor broke with him, he
conferred upon him the title of Duke
Of Luxembourg. Bismarck received the
parchment with this exclamation:
"A pretty name! 1t will be handy for
travelling incognito."
Some days after parcel arrived at
varzin bearing the address Mime. la

Bismarck, to whom it was delivered,
being then at table, arose and, Offering
the letter to his wife, remarked iron

Thousands OF young people in this
country are hunting for good chances
and seem to think they have very little
to do with the good opportunity them
selves except to discover it. But, no
matter where you go, young man or
young woman, no matter who your an
cestors were, what school or college
you have attended. or who helps you,
your best opportunity is in yourself.
The help you get from others is some
times outside of you, while 1t is what
you are, and what you do yourself,
that counts. A habit OF depending on
self, a determination to find ones re-
sources within oneself, and not with
out, develops strength. Clutches
were intended for cripples, not for
able bodied young people; and who
ever attempts to go through life on
mental crutches will not go very far,
and will never be very successful.-O.

President Mckinley has hitherto
done much to bring the South into line
with American progress and lead it to
forget outworn issues for new interests.
His attitude toward former Confed-
crates at the outbreak OF the Spanish
war aroused from Virginia to Texas a
new sentiment for the old flag and a
new enthusiasm to serve our common
country under it. His domestic and
foreign policy has appealed strongly to
Southern feeling and won the support
OF many Southern Democratic states
men. 1t is natural, therefore, that in
his progress through the south he
should be received with the greatest
cordiality. The proverbial felicity Of
his public addresses was never more
happily displayed than in the speeches
in response TO the expressions of good
will which he himself has helped to
create. They must tend powerfully to
strengthen the progressive tendencies
OF the south and confirm the people in
the realization Of the fact that the
country's present and prospective tri-
umphs are their triumphs, and not
those OF any party.

In the list OF senatorial candidates
for higher bonors the name OF Senator
George E. Nichols OF lonia stands out
the most prominent and the prospects
for his success are probably the bright
est. Mr.. Nichols will be a candidate
for the nomination for Encouragement

this time 1t is not expected he will
have any formidable opposition to his
aspirations. His position on the ques-
tion OF railroad taxation In opposition
to the proposition to create separate
board to assess railroad property, and
his able defense OF the one board idea
against the stand taken by the other
members of the railroad committee, OF
which he is member, when the mat
matter came up on the floor OF the SEN
ate two weeks ago, met with.popular
approval OF the taxpayers OF the state.
His speech on that occasion demon
strated that he Is the ablest and most
brilliant orator in the present senate
and that he is thorough student of
the perplexing question OF corporate
taxation. He is firm in his convictions
on any subject and is fearless and en-
ergetic champion Of that which he
thinks to be right, and his best judg-
ment governs his actions regardless of
the strongest influence that can be
brought against it by those who oppose
him.-Lansing cor, Grand Rapids Her.

A MODERN MIRACLE.

People may talk OF going to New
York, Boston, or even the Old World
to consult some talented ply sician In
regard to their hopeless cases, and
when they have paid out hundreds of
dollars, and even all they have, as
did, and begin to prepare for that
dread monster "death," just stop and
read of our great doctor In Barre, VT,
and take courage. Don't think he is
like some quack, for he Is not, and
when you read Of the wonderful cure
of one Of your own townspeople, you
must think there Is no fraud In the
doctor but God given talent for the
benefit OF humanity.
1t happened In this way: Some Is
years ago while out berrying my wife
drank from spring and thought she
swallowed some small thing, but 1t
soon passed by and sine thought no
more Of it. But the time came when
she thought there was something
alive ia her stomach. We have trl' d
many doctors for relief, bat they said
II could OF be, for the gastric juices
OF the st, mach would kill anything of
that nature. some said she had ag.
gravated dyspepsia some said kidney
trouble, some said consumption, and
one OF them said tuberculosis, but
they did no good, so commenced using
patent medicine.
She took everything in the market
with the same result and then made
reaf Y r death About that time,
God ia his great mercy and kindness
s mt Dr. Morrow TO our town. You
may be sure that it WAS with mnch
diStrust that we consulted him. When
we had talked with hlm he gave US
some encouragement to try again
and you may be sure we will ever
bless the day we called on him. The
doctor gave her tonic to give her
strength to 60 through the operation
and in 10 days more gave her the poi
son and in three days more she passed
lizard niue inches long SO decompos-
ed 1t came in three pieces Now she
can eat well, sleep well and work
well.
So now she says: "Why l hardly
know myself l feel SO much different. !"
So she is loud In traise Of DR.. Morrow

AS time goes on the people of Barre
are learning that they paid much
more for the plant ofsthe Barre Water
Co., than the stipulated price. The
very first summer after the city had
made the purchase it was discovered
that the supply Of water "amply sufi'
cient for city several times the size
of Barre" had to be reinforced by
wafer pumped from brook in order
to keep up the amount so that the
polishing mills could be run. This
was done at considerable expense for
pumping in addition to which large
amount had to be paid certain mill
own rs for water thus taken. And
now it develops that the suits against
the city for the taking of the water
cannot be settled for less than $l0,-
900, as that sum will be necessary to
settle them on the terms offered by
the city, while the mill owners want
vice as much If not mole. In addi-
ii ~ must be reckoned in the costs OF
the suits as we'll as the counsel fees
ard the costs of the water expert.

not prejudiced as II the city was neat

Just at this time it would furnish in

All New Ham pshire is wrought up
over the question Of the management
of its county farms. AS general rule
at these Institutions the poor and the
petty offenders are herded together
wi b no distinction. The general plan
is to send all petty offenders to the
county farm, thus making it hou e
of correction, same as it called in fact.
No town has what is cllled town
farms, and the poor from them are
supported and cared for at the county
farm. There is, however, wide di-
vergence in the way these institutions
are managed. In some the two classes
Of people are SO treated that the most
objectiola de forms Of the system are
made so prominent as to call fer
change, while in others there is no
complaint. But the system is wrong
IN principle, as it is no crime to be
poor, and hence there is no reason be
cause person is such that be should
be compelled to associate with all the
evil doors In his county. There is
thus just cause for the indignation
that is being manifested in the p.bllc
meetings called all over the state to
protest against this system.
