Solving Il.

Patrick, a thrifty tradesman in the
neighborhood Of the Dublin docks, was,
the story goes in Tit Bits, a man who
never spent penny more than he
needed to spend; Int he was, neverthe-
less, as good a man at the making of
an Irish bull as any who lived between
Bantry and Ballycastle
Having one day occasion to send a
letter to place at some distsnc E, Pat
rick called a messenger and asked him
his price for going such distance.
It'll be a shillin' !" said the man.
"Twice too much!n said Patrick.
Let 1t be sixpence.
"Nivver," anwsered the messenger.
'The way is that lonely that I'd nivver
go it under a shillin'
LONELY, is it?" said Patri,k, scratch

make it sixpence, and I'll go wild We to

A FEARFUL JOY.

Man to Talk With.

Chief Justice of England a Difficult
Man to Talk With.
Lord Russell of Killowen, the late
Lord Chief Justice Of England, was
very brusque in manner, and to call
upon him was sometimes "a fearful
Joy" A visitor, Mr.. wilkins, once
appeared in Lord Russell's office to ask
a favor The conversation which en-
sued would be regarded anywhere as
sufficient evidence of Lord Russelrs &C.
centricity, to use mild term.

wilkins. 81 think | had the honor of

"What do you want?" interrupted
Lord Russell.

to state In my letter."
"Yes, have your letter." said Lord
Russell, brusquely, "and you write
very sloyenly hand"
"The fact Is, Sir Charles, wrote that
letter in a hurry in your waiting
ROOM"
Not at ALL not at all. You had plen-
ty of time to write leglble note. No,
you are careless. Go on"
"Well, a vacancy has occurred in"
began Khe visitor.
"You are very untidy in your appear

Russell. "You had plenty Of time to
make yourself tidy. No; you are nat
urally careless about your appearance.

"Well, Sir Charles, this vacancy has
occurred in"
"And you are very fatP' interrupted
the Chief Justice, irritably.
THAT is hereditary, | am afraid, "
said the visitor not little disconcert-
ed by the criticisms of Sir Charles.
"My father was very fat"

al knew your father well. He wasn't
fat. It's laziness."
But Lord Russell helped the man to
the position he desired. His bark was
often worse than his bite.

Normally this gate lies close against
the side of the vessel and offers no
resistance to the progress through the
water, but when the proper signal Is

The brakes are arranged in pairs and
two or more sets may be applied to one
ship. They offer no hlndrance to the
movement of the ship through the wat

afford a valuable addition to the re-

HALF-ooNE WORK is WASTED.
Great Extravssancs and Loss Resulting from
Careiessnesa

CarelessnesS
The extravaganza and waste OF doing
work badly are most lamentable. We
can never oyerestimate the value, in a
suct essful life, OF an early formed habit
OF doing everything to finish and thus
relieving ourselves of the necessity Of
doing things more than once. Oh, the
waste in half-done, careless, patched
work!
The extravaganza and loss resulting
from slipshod education is almost be-
yond computation, To be under the
necessity, all through ones life, Of
patching up, of having to do over again
half-done and botched work, is not only
source of terrible waste, but the sub
sequent loss OF seli-respect and life is
also very great.
There is great economy in putting
the highest possible personal invest
ment in everything we do. ANY thor
oughness of effort which raises personal
power to higher value is judicious
expenditure Of individual effort. Do
not be afraid to show thoroughness in
whatever you undertake. Thorough
ness is a great quality when once mas
tered. Il makes all work easier and
brings to life more sunshine. e.-Success,

But by such passing phases OF pub

much for the place in which he was sc

picturesque records Of his generosity

been somewhat too widely forgotten
that the town where King Alfred was
born celebrated the anniversary Of his
birth more than fifty years ago. not
only by a statue. which stands In the
Vantage market place. but by the re-
organization Of an ancient grammar
school, where most OF the hardy yeo-

their education. Few more appropri-

well advised 70 take advantage OF the
present interest in all that pertains to
the great West Saxon leader By issuing

Newspapers outside the state seen
to regard Vermont as most unfattering-
ly like toy which most any big boy
may thrust into his pocket or amuse
himself with at his leisure. The Bos-
ton Herald says
DR.. w. Seward Webb wishes to be
governor of Vermont. Probably he
will be permitted to have his wish.
Nobody but railroad magnate has
been seriously considered as a possible
candidate for some time 1t is pre-
sumed that the other one has been ap-
peased in some manner by the Webb
influence, and that the ways are
creased for sliding the doctor into the
governors chair, or will be creased in
due time, if they are not already. X x
DR.. Webb removed to Vermont from
New York, temporarily, few years
ago; he appears to like Vermont and
to find the Vermonters easy. He has
secured control of the chief railroad
interests, and made them subsidiary
to the schemes of his relatives, the
Vanderbilts. Whoever owns the Yer
mont railroads. owns the state. If he
desires to be governor, what shall him
der him?
