from the same portion of the district.
1t would be uuwise to challenge
trial of strength between the two
divisions at the polls. This would
tend to eliminate party afiliation
from the struggle altogether, and
would leave scars on the body
polite that would require many
years to heal. If republicans take
their nominee from Volcano end, the
democrats should do likewise, and
vice versa.

It is interesting to notice the growth
and spread of the notion that Cleve-
land may again be nominated for the
presidency. A fourth nomination for
him is regarded as possible by General
B. F. Tracy, secretary of the navy IN
der President Harrison. The Demo-
Gratis have no other capable leader in
sight, he says, and Cleveland sis a
man of courage. intense loyalty and
strong intellect" If rendered a nomi-
nation by the whole Democratic party
MIR, Tracy thinks he could not we'll re-
fuse.
The whole Democratic party: There's
the rub, of course. There isn't whole
Democratic party, and there is no
guessing what it would do if there
were. But If there were a whole Dem
ocratic party and if it could nominate
Cleveland for president and Bryan for
vice-president there would be lively
times in 1904. Strange things happen
in politics, but this looks too strange to
be possible.

Verify these are wonderful times. 1t
is not many years ago-only about for
tyfour-that the Atlantic Telegraph
company succeeded in laying a cable
between Europe and America. On the
18th of August, 1858, the extremities of
the cable having been put in connection
with the recording instruments. the fol-
lowing message was sent through the
ocean in thirty-fiye minutes: Europe
and America are united by telegraph.
Glory to God in the highest! On earth
peace and goodwill toward men"
Messages and replies from the queen to
the president of the United States, from
the mayor of London to the mayor of
New York, etc, followed The people
Of this country were in frenzy of en-
thusiasm, lauding the ocean telegraph
as the greatest achievement of modern
times and giving unbounded praise to
its heroic protector.
Now, in the lifetime of many who can
easily remember the beginning of cable
communication across the Atlantic a
new and not less wonderful wonder is
announced. Mr.. Marconi tells the
world that he has established wireless
telegraph communication between Cape
Breton, Canada, and Cornwall, Eng
land, with complete success. He has
sent messages from the governor-gen-
eral of Canada to the king of England
and the king of Italy. A message has
also been sent to the London Times.
We are so accustomed to wonders in
these days that there will be no great
excitement over this one But it is in
deed wonderful and it's Importance is
so great and so far-reaching that it
cannot be estimated. We are all in a
hurry, but we can we'll afford to take a
minute or two off in order to try to
think what Marconi has done

HIT HIPPY IHOUG HI.

The Postoffice department has been
struck with an idea which will immedi-
ately and generally be recognized as a
good one. Manufacturers and others
bic articles in paper boxes are constant
ly complaining that the postofice clerks
crush and destroy these goods in can
ceiling the stamp. A manufacturer of
fountain pens went to the department
in person the other day to object to the
smashing of pens by postoftice clerks in
cancelling the stamps on the little
boxes. Advertisers and others who
mail calendars and cards which have to
be rolled before mailing make the same
complaint. One smash of the cancelling
machine in applying the post mark
brushes the card and it is rendered use
less. These are some of the complaints
that are most common growing out of
the wholesale cancellation of delicate
articles of merchandise. There is an
other side to the case in that a post
office clerk will spend as much time in
picking up box, locating the stamp
and cancelling it, as would be required
in cancelIing the stamps on half dozen
letters. Third Assistant Postmaster
General Madden proposes to do away
with the affixing of stamps to certain
pieces of printed matter and small art-
cles of merchandise. Instead, the per-
son mailing such matter will pay to the
local postmaster a sum of money equal
to the postage charge, whereupon the
goods will go through just as though
each piece bore a stamp. 1t is the plan
also not to cancel matter Of this kind,
so that the postal clerks will get rid of
the trouble and time consuming duty Of
post-marking each envelope or pack
age.
There is talk that a law putting this
sensible labor and time-saving idea into
effect will soon be passed, The sooner
the better.

A Christmas Plea

Dear Sanity, when up tie corner my stock
You see hanging hungrily gaping for gifts,
Don't fill it with jewelry-no, III not mock
ing
With pearls snowy white as the winter
time drifts;
Don't ill it with diamonds, topazes, rubies;
Don't fill it with silver or gathering gold;
Some people may want all such geW-gaws-
the boobies
But Sanity, dear Sanity, remember we're
cold.
SO wh4n in the corner my stocking you wit
ness
Don't give me some trust stock or gov
eminent bonds,
Just pause for i moment, reflect on their
fitness
When Jack Frost Is coating the pancs
with his fronds;
Don't give me 4 distant old historic novel,
Don't bring me a penwiper, bO0kmark or
pin
Id rather see something you hurl with a
shovel
Down into the cellar with cavernous bin.
Dear Sa-sa- Sanity, Just watch my teeth
chatter!
And when by the chimney you gaze on
my sock,
Don't leave Inc a hand-paInted teacup or
Don't give me such gimcracks my suG'rng
to mock;
But when my limp fOotgear you notice have
pity
You've always been called a compassionate
soul
Remember, I'm living down East in city.
So. Sanity, please fill it with anthracite
coal!

How Wealth is Acquired.
Diamonds and Precious Stones the Symbol
of Royalty and Power From
The Earliest Ages.
SPLENDID STOCK OF THE FORD COMPANY

alton constitutes a guarantee of
merit and genuineness that is be-
You'd question.
The handsome new holiday offer
ings of The Ford Company fairly
emplify the magniticence and spleu-
dor of the latter day achievements
of art. Not only in precious stones,
but in the display of highest forms
of art in all departments, there is
radiance and charm possessed by no
other store in New England. With
this is the warranty of a house
founded upon the progressive career
extending over nearly three-quar-
ters of a century.
1t is utterly futile to attempt to
portray the innumerable artistic
beauties of The Ford Company's
holiday offerings. Notable among
the gems, however, is a diamond
brooch pendant, heart shaped, con-
tanning rs fine white diamonds,
priced at $50. In another depart

Der of pieces of exceedingly Valua-
Bile historic old furniture, including
table once used by Noah Webster,
fine old Chippendale secretary,
with quaint diamond glass door and
claw feet, handsomely carved, and
Colonial LoWboy, with claw feet.
An exhibition ,of water colors Is
another attractive feature of the
array of art works. The subjects
are of special local interest, among
which are the following: "Old Bran

From the earliest ages precious
stones and gold have been the dis
tinctive insignia of power and roy
atty, and, following down the long
stretch of centuries to the present
day, are still recognized as the dis
tinguishing mark of aristocracy
and wealth. Among all the gems
the diamond has stood pre-emi-
nently, as the synonym Of solidity,
durability and intrinsic value.
Kingdoms have been won and lost
in the strife for it's possession;
earthquakes and holocausts have
destroyed countries and cities; ma
lions have come and gone; wealth
and power have succumbed to time
and the elements, but, surviving all
the vicissitudes, the diamond has
descended triumphant, imperisha-
BILE, almost immortal.
In the earlier centuries, when
diamonds were set without being
cut, with uncouth and irregular
surfaces, the estimation in which
they were held made them of
priceless value. With the discov~
cry of the art of cutting a new era
was begun, and gems that had
hitherto been priceless became of
inestimable worth. The advance in
the art of cutting, which has in this
day reached the acme of perfection,
brings out the brilliance of the gems
in manner unknown and I'M
dreamed of by the ancients. The
gorgeous beauties of the diamond,
it's indestructibility, its ever-in-
creasing value with the passing of
years, make it, therefore, the most
worthy among the list of gifts to be
selected by purchasers who combine
utility With intrinsic value in their
selection.
The value of gift, however, is
not measured by it's intrinsic worth
only, but by the taste and judgment
used in it's selection. Beautiful
things are not made or chosen by
chance, but are the result of abil-
ity, combined with the study and
experience of years. Add to this
reliability and responsibility on the
part of the dealer, and the combin-
