Miss Georgiana j. Mossey, of No. 100
Lake street, St. Adams, VT, is a bright,
healthy young woman and from her appear
ance one would never think she had ever
been sick for day in her life. But there
was a time, a few years ago, when she was

how in the following words:

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Bread cast upon the waters comes
back to you very stale
If it is sin for woman to glory in
her beauty it is beautiful sin.
Thus far the United States has built
$50 school houses in Porto Rico.
Talk to man about his business and
YOU may get him to invest i'll yours.
The reason hammock is SO faScinat-
ing for two is that it is built for one.
The man in the moon is blushing red
because he sees so many queer things.
The very freedom of action that man
giAes up by getting married a woman
gains.
Humor is like whiskey in making a
person who uses too much of it very
wabbly.
\ widow can know more and let on
less than any other creature on Gods
footstoOl.
After a man has been married too long
he doesn't worry so much because life
is too short.
A girl kisses man so as to make up
with him, and he makes up with her so
as to kiss her.
A woman always feels sorry for any
woman younger than she is who seems
to be getting old.
70 save his life a man can't make his
wife distinguish the difference between
his being cross and sick.
One way for an engaged man to save
money is to get married, so as to be
able to stop buying her presents.
Some women are so queer about their
modesty that they pull down the win
dow blinds after the lights are out.
The difference between calomel and
Whiskey for a headache is that your
wife prefers that you take the first.
1t takes a red-headed girl to make a
man think it isn't a woman's looks that
count so much, but woman's ways.
Many girl who isn't red-headed but
pretendS to be is so smart she can fool
any man about it till she gets married
to him.
The two things that a woman tries to
work into the reason for her husband
not feeling so well are the weight of
his underwear and insomnia.
No matter how many times a girl re-
hearses what she is going to say when
her sweetheart asks her to marry him,
she never says it, because her lips are
too busy doing something else.-New
York Press.

Bryan VS.. Cleveland.

Cleveland has most of the Democrat
ic bosses and politicians with him, but
the Democratic masses, at least in the
South and West, stand behind Bryan.
This is fact which the Democratic
enemies of the Nebraskan ought to bear
III mind. The reorganiZers will be able
to prevent Bryan from getting the nom
nation i'll 1904. Bryan, i'll fact, says he
does not want the nomination, and is
not seeking it. But he has enough ad-
herents to enable him to pass sentence
of death upon any anti-Bryan candi-
date who may be put up by the Democ-
racy. 1t is the intention of the East
ern section of that party, backed by a
few of its Southern leaders. to nomin-
ate somebody who was never Oh the
silver side. If they do that they can
count on the hostility of Bryan and
hundreds of thousands of his support
ers. Bryan is still force with whom
the Democratic bosses will have to
reckon.-st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Shipbuilding at Bath.

The vessels launched in the District
of Bath during the first half of 1902
aggregate more than 1900 tons gross.
The second half of the year will prob
ably beat it. There are on the ways
and likely to be launched before the
end of the year one six masted schooner,
two five-masters, three four-masters,
four three-masters, two steel barges
and two wooden barges, aggregating
more than twenty thousand tons gross
The record for 1902 will probably be in
excess of $1,000 tons. That does not
include any except merchant tonnage.

Real and Per-

AS Shown by the Assessment
Runs Up Enormously,

Auditor Cole has issued a state
ment showing that the assess
ment Of real estate and personal
property and railway lines in the
the State for 1902 is $40, 10000
in excess Of that Of last year. The
figures are a splendid testimonial
to the Industrial progress of the
State, and the showing is some
what remarkable in view of the
fact that real property was as
sessed last year, whereas assess
ments have heretofore been
biennial, and the additional fact
that the assessors in some coun-
ties negligently failed to report.
for reasons best known to
themselves, the usual amount of
solvent credits, and thus allowed
their counties to show decreases.

opinion of the negro. He says:
L haye known them from the
first years of my life, he said to
a reporter.
my deliberate opinion of the
modern negro in this country is
that he is not worth hell room.
If [ were the devil, [ would not
let him in hell. They will be
driven from the south just as
surely as they swarm that place
now.
L make the statement that no
farmer in the South can make
his farm pay with negro labor of
the modern sort. | have a farm
of 500 acres in Virginia, and I
employed 100 negroes to work 1t
in grain and other market stuff.
| strove and strOve with them,
but [ could do nothing. I dis
charged them all, and have turn
ed to raising polled angus beef
cattle for the English market.
Now [ work the farm with two
white men.
There is no hope for the
Southern farmer until the negro
is expelled and white labor sub
stituted."

Pistol ToterS.

Judge Moss of Memphis, is the
right man in the right place. He
gives pistol toters the limit OF
the law-S5O fine and eleven
months and twenty nine days in
iail. He shows no partiality,
but treats all, white and black,
alike. Would that Mississippi
had a Judge. Moss upon every
circuit court bench in the State.
If she had they would soon solve
the concealed weapon problem
by increasing the population of
her prisons.-Biloxi Herald.
