A large boiler drawn by six horses
went through the town Saturday. The
boiler came from West Poland, and is
going To be used in a portable mill IN
North Sumner, above what is known as
"Farrar's Mills" where L. L. Brown,
the well-known lumberman, is TO put In
winters work getting out spruce and
pine. The outfit made little longer
stop in town than was anticipated, as
the boiler tipped over coming down the
little hill about opposite the railroad
bridge Friday night, and it took some
time to right it.
A good audience attended the lecture
in the Peoples Course Friday evening,
bv President Charles l.. White OF Colby
College. Before the lecture there was a
fine trio by Mrs. III. K. Wilson, Mrs,
Smiley and Mrs. Durham. President
Whites subject was "A Bicycle Trip
through Europe" the trip, covering
about three months, having been taken
in the summer of 1887, Immediately after
his graduation from college. For al
hour and a half he took his audience
with him, over England, France, Switzer
land and Germany. OF course TO com
press such an extensive tour into the
limits of single lecture made necessary
very rapid movement over most OF th'
route, but his description while concise
was full. and at a number of the mos
important points he went into quite full
details. He went with his eyes open
and in three months saw great deal
His description is very vivid, his styl
graceful and pleasing, and his narrative
illuminated by frequent flashes of hume
and adorned by occasional philosophical
digressions suggested by something seel
in his travels. 1t is rarely that an an
dience is enabled to see so much
foreign lands without the aid of at leas
lantern, and he was listened to through
out with delight. The next lecture
the course will be given next Monday

From a isachelor's View.

The best way to avoid marital
misunderstanding is to avoid the
whole marital business.
To sympathize with those who are
down in the world it is necessary for
you to get down there yourself.
A woman who will ask another
women to show her how to do tattlng
almost thinks enough Of her to be her
friend
Versatility is not woman's strong
point. Before marriage she sighs to
think how she is going to be, and
afterward she sigbs to think how
happy she thought she was going to
be.
The way to get a woman to for
give you is not to forgive her.
Generally you can get an idea Of
the enthusiasm a woman puts into a
spanking by the way she jerks out her
basting threads.
The average man who gives advice
is like a roadpost-he doesn't tell
you to stay where he is, but to 60
where he points.
A married mans trouble begins
when he is engaged.
It isn't on what income one can
get married, but on what income one
can live after getting married.
No woman can ever account for
her husbands lack of interest in her
diploma and the photograph Of her
The way to convince woman you
love her is to sit in abstraction for a
long time and then say with start
that you were thinking of the first
day you ever saw her.
The surest way to get rich Is to
quit being poor.
Force of habit has good deal to
do with the way some people 60 on
loving each other.
When lucky man gets it into his
head that he is great man, he is
due to lose his luck.
It's worse to bleach your hair than
to wear a wig, but you could offer a
million dollars reward for woman
with hair on her head who would
agree with you, and you'd never find
| her.

YilIman's Opinion Of Theodore Roosevelt.

Memphis, January 4.-Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, who lee
tured here last night, thus sizes up
President Roosevelt in an interview
today:
"Personally I like Mr.. Roosevelt.
I think be is an honest man, striving
to do right. But I must admit the
conviction that he is utterly incapa-
bic of performing the duties of the
Presiden4 of the United States as
they should be performed. He is
too much of stormy petrol. he
cannot fly when the wind is not high.
Many of mis- acts are not only radical
they are rash"

TROOPS ORDERED HOME.
The Entire Garrison at Puerto Principe
Withdrawn.

Washington, January 6.-Acting
in accordance with a recommends
tion made by Gov. Gen. Wood, mill
tary governor Of Cuba, Secretary
Root has directed that the thirdsquad-
IRON of the Eighth cavalry, compris-
ing the entire garrison at Puerto
Principe, be brought to the United
States. At the first favorable op-
portunity Gen. Wood reported that
the garrison could be abandoned
without detriment to public interest
and that the troops in question were
not needed elsewhere in Cuba. Al
though it is said at the war depart
ment that there is no other sugges-
ton to this movement it is admitted
that it is practically the beginning
of the general Withdrawal of United
States troops in Cuba preparatory
to the transfer of the control of af-
fairs to the civil government to, be
installed during the coming summer.
So far as known there will be no
further withdrawal of troops until
final arrangements are made for the
formal transfer of the government to
the newly elected officials of Cuba.
