his opinions were those of the most ad-
vanced thought of the day and his moral
and religious views and high measure
ment of human character, were at times
most admirable. His outline of political
issues showed clean comprehension of
them, and his estimate Of President
Roosevelt in general and as the laboring
mans friend in particular, was voiced
in the highest praise. OF course he ex-
pressed himself emphatically as a social
list, and covered so wide a field that
many of his points were necessarily
asserted, he not taking time to argue
them. All in all the address was
worthy a crowded house, and the best
consideration.

been made at the lunch cart chiefly at
late hours of the night. We are hope
full that the next person or persons Of
Tending in this respect will be prosecu-
ted to the full extent of the law. The
community demands it. The lunch cart
is great convenience to many, especi-
ally trainmen coming in after long

of hot coffee and bite to eat, and we
hope it will meet with better treatment
in the future.

has borne his pain and misfortune with
remarkable courage for a boy of his
years, and the whole community will re-

cured. He returns to Portland for
further treatment if necessary in about
three weeks. His mother, who has
assisted in caring for him during all
these months, returned Sunday night.

north the women wear short. dark
gowns, with fringed handkerchiefs
tied becomingly over their curly fair
hair, Bal ones for the matrons and
white ones for maideps.
In the south tho old Norwegian
dress is often worn. 1t consists of a
short dark petticoat, with a stripe of
bright cohrs, full white blouse. and
a red bodice heavily embroidered
while on Sundays a quantity of silver
pins and chains are added.
The headdress varies according to
the occasion and the wearer's social

Hairs Of the Human Head.

A scientist with vast amount OF
patience has counted the hairs of the
human head. In fact, not content with
counting one head of hair, he under
vestigations are curious. Blondes,
for instance, have the greatest num-
Der and those with red hair the small
est. In no case is there much varia-
ton between sexes when the color
is the same. Lighthaired people have
between 100000 and 10000 hairs.
Brunettes average only about 105. 900
hairs. Red-haired people do not have
much more than 10000. This means
that red hair is coarser than other
shades. but it has the advantage of
lasting longer.

The Institute Closed.

The teachers institute closed
Tuesday evening and as was pre-
dicted was grand success. Much
praise is given the county superin-
tendent for her careful preparation
and much of the success of the in
stitute is due to her painstaking
efforts.
A number of teachers arrived
the first of the week to take the
work OF the last two days. Mrs.
HAYES gave them many helpful
ideas and her clearness in demon
strating the principles was most
excellent.
Prof. w. C. Thompson and Miss
Dorothy Crawford assisted in the
work this week and lent valuable
aid. The teachers examination is
now in progress and the work of
the institute is particularly val
liable at this time.
Words of praise are heard on all
sides for Prof. Ellis and Mrs.
Halves for their excellent work,
while that of our own teachers is
being given due credit.

PAYING TELLERS' ERRORS.


A bank officer. referring in recent
address to the responsibility of paying
tellers. declares that the idea that such
officials were rarely willing to rectify
mistakes had little basis in fact He
added: How is II that there exists in
the minds of many the idea that pay
ing telIers are inclined to resent even
she suggestion that they make errors
In counting money? have never
known one who made the slightest
claim to infallibility. Who has not
heard the ancient and oft told story Of
teller who was asked by a person for
whom he has cashed check if he had
not made mistake? AS the narrative
usually runs the self satisfied money
counter behind the desk Is inclined to
become indignant and replies in a
pompous and abrupt manner that he
never makes mistakes. The consider
ate party then states that the amount
paid him exceeded that named in the
check. but the teller still maintains
that there can be no error either way,
as he never makes mistakes.
Where is the teller who upon being
told he had made an error would fail
to politely inquire as to the nature of
the same? The inference Is that tell
ers are possessed of so much vanity !

Residence of II. A. Walker.

those artistic structures that catches
the eye OF the tourist perhaps more
than those that see it every day From
every point of view the architecture is
artistic and Mr. Walker is to be con-
graduated that he has a home of which
he must feel proud.
Mr. Walker was born In Salem N. Y.
Feb. 10, 1874 and came to Manchester
about fifty years ago, where his father
and grandfather had both lived before
him making him a defendant OF one OF
the Oldest families in the town. Hor-

Union Opera House Block.

There are very few villages of the
size of Manchester Center that can
boast of as fine an opera house, the
one erected here in 1896 by the Man

fitted with first class stage settings and
will seat 500 people. 1t is well lighted
by electricity and heated with steam

three stores and the Factory Point

There is also located in this block
