NO BREAKING OFF.

sSee here, Danie1,y began the old farmer when he had cornered his son out on the corncrib, whats this here circalatin' 'round 'mong the neighbors bout you and Patience breakin' off yer engagement? ?"
 '.Nuthin' to it 'tall,' with a sullen tone and look.
 .Blamed funny. I never see so much smoke where they wasn't some fire. Did you and her have some words?''
 T said there wasn't no breakin' off, didn't [? Whats the use ot cross questionin' feller like he was on the witness stan'?"
 Lots of use, my young man. Hain't l tole you more times'n you've got fingers and toes that my mind and mas mind is sot on this here mar riage? Don't our farms jine. and isn't she only chile an hain't you only chile? Hain't you got no gumtion nur common sense?"
 '''She said not. She said didn't know enough ter peel b'ned pertaters afore eatin' 'em, or to keep awake when l was a courtin' of her"
 "She hain't so fur wrong, either An what did you say?"
 "I tole her she didn't have interleck enough to talk so's to keep nobody awake and that if was piclin' and choosin' for beauty she'd be at the foot of the class. That's what tole her"
 ..Well?"
 t'She ordered me to git out md said eff she ever see me on that farm from then hencefor'ard she would set the dogs on me, an I tole her the dogs would have an easy time of it so fur as was consarned. But there was no breakin off.''
 Then the old man informed the boy that if the engagement wasn't renewed within twenty-four hours, he'd leave every "durned dollar to sanitorium fur fools.-Detroit Free Press.''

The cablegrams given out at the war department as coming from General MacArthur, concerning the stealing from the commissary department in Manila. do not square with either press news or private advices. According to the former, there have only been a few cases of petty larceny, while the latter agree in insisting that there has been a wholesale campaign of footing, and hint that more effort Is being made to protect the looters than to uncover the stealing and punish the thieves, all though few arrests have been made. Of course, no one can say to cer- tainty which is right or nearest right, but on the general principle that those who are disinterested are most apt to tell the truth the. press and private cablegrams naturally find the great est number of believers.

Apropos of the great amount of damage done by the spring floods in this vicinity, here is an article from the Boston Herald which is both time ly and truthful: Spring freshets such as the one We are now having are the rule, rather than the exception, in this country. It is but two years since there was one in northern and western Massachusetts of severity. About thirty years ago one came down into the Deerfield valley which destroyed the Troy and Greenfield railroad so that there was no travel over the Hoo sac tunnel route for months. It dis tributed a coating of sand over acres of fertile fields about Deerfeld. The terrible Mill river disaster, which wrought fearful destruction of life, oc- cured q, little more than twenty-five years since. Everything goes to prove

Commissioner Blakeslee is on the right tack and the Democrat hopes he will keep the agitation up until the triangular spot at the junction of Grand and Bank streets is improved and put in keeping with the many new buildings erected in that locality the past few years. The Democrat sug- gested some time ago such an improve ment. When Mir Whittemore gets his new building on the corner, and later new building adorns the old rink corner, it will be one of the most busi- nesslike spots in town. People com ing to the center from either of the railway stations will have something to see besides water cart stand and a building that has long outliyed it's usefulness. Make q beginning on the water stand and the other improve ments are sure to follow. By the way, what about the statue of one of our great men that was promised for that spot?

HEARD IN PASSING

After four days of honeymooning, a Kansas couple, aged S8 and 65, have separated and the bride will sue for q divorce. She says: .'The story that my husband could cut cords of wood a day is not true. He cannot cut the kindling needed to light the fires. I had to get up and light the fire every morning, which is a husbands duty" Oh, those giddy young people! When will they learn to look before they leap into the matrimonial sea!-Boston Her. ald.
 A Norwalk man, desperate and tired of life, bade his wife farewell forever, on Friday morning, then went out back of the house and deliberately cut himself on the arm with a butcher knife, so severely that his wife had to procure piece of court plaster as big as half postage stamp to cover up the scar. His suicidal attempt was not completely successful, but it was almost as painful as being vaccinated New Haven Palladium.

For obey ing his instructions his boy had been whipped at school, he said. He would not employ lawyer and he fatly re- fused to pay his fine and costs. They were paid for him by his surety. He left the court room declaring that what he had done he would continue to ido.-New Haven Courier and Jour nal.
 America takes one-sixth, or $50, ,0O0,- 900 of the new British loan of $300,- 100000. The importance of this coun- try as a great financial center is ap- parent. The new loan natures April ,, 1923 and may be paid at any time after that date. It bears interest for two years at PA per cent and thereaf- ter at 215 per cent. It is subject to the new income tax of nearly G per cent. It is market at 941a. The loan is considered as safe as any investment in the world If the Boers give up soon there will be big advance in the consols. America has plenty of capital to invest but we think it will be only the millionaires who will be able to take the loan. Widows and orphans with limited cap ital will have to take something that pays better, even if the risks are great CT. Some Bridgeport money lenders are satisfied with trifie of from forty to one hundred per cent per annum. True, they take risks.-Bridgepor Post.

MT Mckinley, having talked the mat ter over fully with General Wood, will receive the committee from the Cuban constitutional convention, but it will be in a cut-it-short-this-is-my-busy-day manner, which will show them at once that he is more intent upon his coming pleasure trip than upon hearing their requests for impossibilities. He can not change an act of congress and he will bluntly tell the Cubans so, and that is about all he will tell them, un- less his intentions have been misrepre- sented by those who ought to know them.

THE SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN.

In a timely article on ssThe Trust builders" in Frank. Leslie's Popular Monthly for May, the author tells of an incident in the career of James B. Duke. related by Wall street man who is closely associated with the American Tobacco Go.
 Several years ago one of the vice. presidents of the American Tobacco company aspired to the position of president. Without saying anything to Mr Duke, who then, as now, held this position, he induced number of his Wall street friends to buy up enough of the shares of the company to give them control of its affairs. When the next election of directors was held MT Duke found that a new factor had appeared in the company. and that this yice-president was ~n the point of being elected over his head
 Just before the date on which the. election was to take place MT Duke visited two of the Wall street men who had bought to bacco stock in the inter- est of the ambitious vice-president. He said to them in effect:
 "Gentlemen, I understand that you have secured the controlling interest in the American Tobacco company, and that you are about to elect MT
 to the position of president. Be fore you do this have only one thing to say. It is this: I have served as president of this company, not through the influence of my friends, but through my own ability. I am presi- dent of the American Tobacco com pany simply because am the best man in the United States for that position. If did not feel that was the best man in the United States to occupy the presidential chair of the company would not occupy it. Good day!''
 MT Duke does occupy the presiden- tial chair, and rightly.

FINANCE AND INDUSTRY.

Fifty years ago a kilogram of alu- minum cost $S50. To-day the price is 50 cents.
 The approximate value of the com mercial fisheries of the United States in 1899 was $4o,ooo,Ooo, to which the oyster industry contributed about $14,o00,000.
 From Russia (northern ports) un. printed paper is imported into Great Britain to the annual value of over a70,oo0. Wood pulp boards are also received in fairly large quantities from Russia.
 England's exports of machinery, implements, apparatus, etc, which in 1875 were $3s,oo0,0oo, had increased to $10o,000,oo0 by 1900; Germany's $16,- 50o,0o0 in 1875 grew to $6o,0o0,00o by 1900; while America's $1o,oo0,oo0 in 1875 grew to $5o,o00,0oo by 1900.
 The runs of the oil wells in the Montpelier Und.) fields for March were 477,60O barrels. The average daily shipments were 26,500 barrels, and runs about 16,00O barrels. The months product was sold at s8 and s9 cents, and brought over $420,0o0.
 The activity in the sugar beet in. .dustry began in 1896. Since that time 35 factories have been built. The census year ended May s1, 1900, was a bad year for the industry, for the beet crop was a partial failure; s1 factories, however, were in operation and they produced 35 per cent. of our total sugar production, while ten years earlier the output of beet sugar was less than two per cent. of the domestic nntnnt

Rev c. A. viets of New Haven, for many years Congregational clergy man, and formerly of the Methodist faith, says there is no place in the Con gregational ministry for man who is not a Yale graduate. This attitude, on the part of this unfortunate man, would seem to reduce the minister's calling to mere problem of being able to get job. And yet, he has "all the world' in which to preach the gospel. Some of the most successful ministers have never attended college or even divinity chool.-Ahsonia Sentinel.
