might be- listening. and pride forbade a
display either fsf eafs orsef regret. We
had staked.. and we had lost, and now
the end was come. But deeply MORT
flying was the thought that we. had
walked so5easily into the trap. + Before
setting out we had duly calculated the
chances Of success and defeat and
even with the latter staring us full in
the. face we. had hoped to go. under
fighting. But to be cooped, chained in
this: manner, with no ultimate hope of
escape or fight, plunged us into the ut
most depths of dependency. 1t was
our own fault. Well, does that knowl-
edge make mist ortunes amy easier to

Every citizen in town should Be In
terested in its prosperity.

patriotism to stand by your town and

man who is respected by others respects.

begins at home.
Another way to help your town is to do
all you can to beautiiy it. Beautify your
own properly all you can, and then do all
you can to help beautify the streets. Be
friendly to everybody and courteous to
strangers. Your ciyility will help to
make good impressions and will be car

Sell all you can and buy all you can at

ried away from the own makes it that
much poorer. II you have the means,
invest IN something that will give some

man who goes in for improvement. Do
no, kick against a proposed improve

Spreading itself out. II a rich man starts
a project, encourage him; il a poor man
starts, help him.
Don't be afraid to thrust your hand
down in your pocket to help a public en-

by such refusals than in any other way.
The citizens of any prosperous town are
always public spirited and united
Stand together; work together for the

as a hipropotamus. For years she had been
Unable TO walk. One of her sons has buiit

She threatens to crack the skull Of the nrst
man that venture in her reach The badge
and authority of IL United States Marshal
have no terrors for her.
Various plans have been made for the dis

officer has made any determined attempt to

too heartily. No officer wants to be seen

The county officers of Aroostook wouli
not have her i'm their Jail for $40 a day.
Therefore Dame Ouillotte only smiles when
the officers pay her occasional visits 20 see
if she will not cease posing as a determined
outlaw. Some of them threaten to oreak
her bottles. but she hrandishes her thick
stick. and no officer wishes to engage In an

SO Uncle Sam simply shakes his fist at
Dame Ouillette, and she answers by shak-
