New York. February H.-Although Lent holds us in a state of rest II not III spif- ltlal meditation the van1tles or the world are still a potential influence But after the grand season of splurge the vanities find expression only Mn mia forms. As pink lemonade at church fair is to champagne so are the Len ton nastimes to the ball, the dinner ana the dance. But even in these mild forms of social diversion there is method. Ah' ves Eve was designing wencn ana her dauqhters have inherited her character ;s.ics Now let us see how 1t Is. In the social season there Is the first period or that known as the coming out phase. TO .,.b,,ng cvmbals the maid steps over +ho nurserv thereshold arrayed in lace ard tulIe. She stands before male admir- ers young, fresh, tempting, with down. cast eyes the timid virgin, a candidate for the matron's honors. She IS as wlse as a serpent but she looks as harmless as A doye From the moment of her con- ,no ont her life is a whirl. She scarce finds time to consider the youths she att tracts. Then comes tne quie' oeoSoii s'i' the butterfly becomes demure. Lent nleases her well. Rest refreshes her. But she does not stop to scan the frivolities and to find how little they amount to- hNw unacceptable they must be in the eyes of the Master. No, she just pauses to look over the dozen or score of youths who think of her with feelings that are fond.
 Now, come the Lenten diversions, the sewing circles where men come in, the card parties, the bowling parties. the Ienten lectures. Now is the maid round- ing LID the swains. In the coming out

Seven reasons why "oId 4Fathern RMa is fhe hesf Mthiskeu.-

Rye Is the best whlskey:-
 1t Is pure, old, rich and mellow, and Is never bottled until 1t Is IS years old.
 1t stimulates and invlgorates.
 1t is aged by time and, therefore, it is natures pleasant tonic. It con. tains no foreign sweetening matter and, therefore, does not ferment or make sour stomach.
 1t does not burn when you drink 1t, thereby proving that it Is chemically pure.
 1t Is aged by nature, viz., light, heat, air and age.

Dear Sir:-I see that one Moike
Malanaphy wants to throw suspicion
on some one on account of his losing a
hog at the yards. Now the fact is he had
what stock dealers call short winded
hog left in his yard on Sunday, June
sth, the day he claims his hogs were
pounded on the head with some heavy
iron. Now there were two boys at
The yards that afternoon and saw this
hog before it died, and were watching
IL when it died and they could see no
marks of violence on it at the time it
dled. Now as itisa common occurrance
for those kind of hogs to die in the
yards or in the car, is it fair for this
man to try to make the public believe
there are people here mean enough to
go TO the yard and pound dunn brute

The Union Picnic

at Granger last Thursday was nearly
ruined by the downpour of rain from
early in the day to the middle of the
afternoon. Some three hundred
people had gathered for the occasion
however, bent upon carrying so far as
possible the program into execution.
Three schools were represented and
appeared with four horse rigs beauti-
fully caparisoned and decorated with
flags, bunting and eyergreens. The
procession formed at about 8 O'Clock
on the street south of the Hosford
House and marched east past the
Drummond store, thence north taking
in its line of march Granger and
Florenceville. In the procession we
counted nineteen teams which was
pretty good for rainy day. There
was in the procession two beautiful
banners carried by boys on horseback.
Beside these banner bearers there
were large number of others on
horseback, who were provided with
sashes and equipped for the anticipated
multitude which was detained at their
respective homes through the inclem-
ency of the day. The picnic dinners
provided for the grove had to be par
taken of in such cramped quarters in
doors as could be obtained. The
merry-go-round was quite an attrac-
tton and with its canvas provided pro-
lection from the rain and we Judge
was in operation most of the day.
The day closed with a dance for the
young people in Hosford's S Hall. The
project was well conceived and planned
and had the weather been favorable
an immense attendance would have
greeted its projectors.

The Granger Mail Service

The first of July the mail service
given to Granger by the way of Cresco,
Will be discontinued unless the postal
authorities review and correct the ar.
ror made in its suspension of the serv..
ice.
The Postmaster informs us that
fully three-fourth of the mail that
comes to that office comes by the way
OF Cresco, and through the Cresco
office. The entire business of Granger
Is done over G. M. s. st. Paul railroad
at Cresco, and with the banks and
business men Of Cresco. Instead of
suspending the mail service, the rural
free delivery on route No. 2, which
goes to within one mile of Granger
should be extended 80 as to give that
place the same service it has had
heretofore
The patrons of the Granger Office are
about 25O families, l5O of which are
not accessible to any of the rural
mail routes established or contemp.
lated.
The project of supplying the
Granger Office through the rural free
delivery service that is to start out
from Harmony will be great incon-
venience to the patrons of the Gran
ger office, inasmuch as it will delay
the arrival of their mail from two to
three days, and will necessitate like
delay in mail sent from that post
office to correspondents.
The railroad that supplies the Office
at Harmony from which it is proposed
to supply the Granger Office, has but
one train day, that arriving at night,
which delays the incoming mail for
Granger, one day at that place and
the outgoing mail from Granger would
have like delay of one day at that
place. And to reach their banks at
Cresco, or for other business, owing to
railroad connections other delays
would occur.
With the rural delivery service of
route No. 2, from Cresco extended to
Granger, that office would be good
distributing point for prompt service
to the patrons of the route which is to
start out from Harmony as it will en-
able the patrons of that line to get
their mail day or two earlier than if
served by the way of Harmony.
Each of the three newspapers Of
Cresco have large lists of subscribers
who are served through the Granger
office. The suspension OF mail service
between Cresco and Granger will de-
lay their receipt at Granger three
days, rendering them Of little value
to its readers.

and Senator Allison will be invoked
to visit the postofrlce department in
