Paper Fame.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Your great man shines before the popu-
lace In vain-without the newspaper, He
spreadeagles the Constitution in vain-with-
out the newspaper. His clarion voice wakes
up the universe in vain-without the news
paper. Hts scientific researches and achieve
ments are vain-without the newspaper.
His wireless telegraph would be an accom-
plishment of small merit-without the
newspaper. His moving, sermons, rafting
hell fire in the faces of sinners, are vain
without the newspaper. His successes in
every walk of life are vafn-without the
newspaper The newspaper Is the fame
maker-of the age. OF course, some of the
fame is cheap, but 1t satisfies the living
wearer of the cloak, even though posterity
may change it

Alternating Currents.

S. E. Kiser in Chicago Record Herald.
Maud Muller on a winters day
From an empty coal bin turned away.
No fame went leaping up the fue,
The nose below Maud's eyes was blue.
Blowing her hands in deep despair
She stood by the window and shivered there.
She glanced out into the chilly town
Where the hard white snowfakes foated down.
And she hummed song, for wild unrest
And common longing filled her breast.
The magnate passed in his fine new sleigh,
Driving splendid, prancing bay.
He was dressed in furs that were warm and rich
And he dashed boy who wanted "a hitch
He had sealskin gloves and a sealskn cap
And fine warm robes in which to wrap.
Through dealing in coal he'd doubled his ''pile. =
His heart was light and he smile.
The horse he drove was a blooded steed
He was out for test Of the chargers speed
In the magnate's bins there were tons of coal,
Contentment lodged in the magnates SOUL
He thought of the wealth and joys he had
And wondered why folks were ever sad.
By the window Maud stood looking out,
All she could call her own was doubt.
The magnate turning beheld her there
With her nose all blue, but he didn't care.
From the pane she scraped away the frost,
But the look she bestowed on the man was lost.
He drove ahead in his splendid sleigh
To where the trotters tipped away.
Maud Muller looked and sighed: "Ah, me,
That the magnate's bride might be!
my sister should have warm clothes to wear,
A fire should blaze in the cold stove there;
flMy mother should look with signs no more
FOR a last stray chunk on the coal bins floor.
"And I'd hire and heat hall where they
Who are shfVering might be warm all day."
But the magnate, thinking of other things,
Rode if on the wild winds wings.
His purse heavy. his heart was light,
He was wrapped in furs nearly out of sight.
The CRATES in his house were all aglow,
The furnace booming away below.
His plate was rich and his wine was rare
And grave-faced butler buttled there.
By the window where the blasts blew in
Maud thought sad thoughts of the empty bin.
And she murmured "Ah what a fate is mnsf
IF we only had one little ton
But we haven't and Gods will be done!
''Oh who shall measure the depth of sin
They reach who order the empty bin?'
All, well! The who SILVER away
May dance in gauzy attire some day,
And the greedy ones who refuse to care -
May furnish fuel some other where

WHY |1 SUCCEEDS.
BECAUSE IT'S FOR ONE THING ONLY,
AND BELFAST is LEARNING THIS.
Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing we'll brings success.
Doans Kidney Pills do one thing only.
THEY'RE for sick kidneys.

Nothing can be good for everything.
Doing one thing well brings success.
Doans Kidney Pills do one thing only.
They're for sick kidneys.
They cure backache, every kidney i'll.
Here is Belfast evidence to prove it,
John P. Archibald, Knox, Me-. says: "Doan's
Kidney Pills are worth their weight in gold to
me, at least that is my opinion and base it on
the following reasons: Some seven years ago
while working on the wharf in Belfast strained
nv back and paid little attention to the pain at
first but it kept increasing until it became so
severe that l had to resort to some remedy to
check it. Things dragged along in this way and
as each successive attack occurred took some
thing for it but they seemed to stop of their own
accord, only to reoccur with reduplicated force.
l had read considerable about Doan's Kidney
Pills in our Belfast papers and friends who heard
me complaining of my back aching advised me to
use them Finally went to Edmund Wilson'S
drug store in belfast for a box and commenced
the treatment 1t relieved. The direct action on
the kidney secretions proved that the medicine
was acting directly on my kidneys and when once
the secretions were righted the backache ceased.
I now know what to do should occurrences take
place.

The announcement of Hon. O. F. Eel
lows of Bucksport that he will be can
didate for the Republican nomination
for Representative to Congress in the
Sd district next year has created some
thing of stir in political circles. Mr..
Fellows is the Speaker of the Maine
house, and was understood to be can
didate for the Senate. In fact, it is said
he has done some preliminary canvass
ing to that end. Some of the specula-
ton caused by the announcement of his
candidacy for Congress was speedily set
at rest. Senator Hale's term expires in
1905 and it was suggested that Congress
man Burleigh might be planning to sue
coed him. But ''close personal, pOliti-
cal and business friend" of Gov. Bur-
leigh promptly said that our Congress
man would not be a candidate for the
Senate against Senator Hale, and the
Kennebec Journal of Monday very en-
phatically said the same thing. The
Portland Evening Express got MT. Eel
lows by telephone, and that gentleman
said
81 know nothing of Governor Bur-
leigh's plans. l am all alone, have no
trades or undertakings with anybody.
l am going for the nomination, that il
all. So far as am concerned, my can
didacy does not have any bearing or
the political situation aside from the
contest in which l am interested"

LONG HILL.
THE NAMELESS CLuR.

4h1 NAMtLESS CLUB.
You folks that think Long Hill is slow
and way behind the times
just freshen up your memory and read
these printed lines,
For Trumbull, Botsford, Stepney, with
us they can't compare
They haven't got the push and 90 OF
maids like ours so fair.
And it will be short time when in
this town ween,
We can boast Of trolley cars and things
that's now unseen.
But what want to tell you of the rea-
son why write
Is meeting of the fair sex that was
held the other night.
It's what they call the Nameless club
composed of ladies eight.
AS a leader OF society tits strictly up
to-date.
Last week theyIheld meeting up at
the old Town hall.
Which was finely decorated as for a
fancy ball.
Each lady brings gent along one week
in every four,
10 help them eat the good things, lust
that and nothing more.
BY 8 O'Clock they all were assembled
in the hall ' ''0N
counted just eight couple but guess
that wasn't all.
First they played guessing game
and if remember right
Miss Edna French took first prize for
the guessing there that night.
Miss Florence Coe came second and
Miss Sadie Craft came third,
Ihe boys they wasn't in it, they could
not guess the word.
But boys ain much use anyway and
as l said before,
They only came to help them eat just
that an nothing more.
can't remember all the names Of who
were there that night,
SO won't try to quote .ohem as it
would be hardly right.
But they say the sweetest girl OF all
and for many miles around
Miss Candee, (oh how sweet the name)
just down from Stepney town;
At playing whist took first prize while
Miss Gabler second came,
George Sweeney third, Mahoney fourth
twas an interesting game.
At 10 O'Clock came luncheon and it
was something great
There must have been among other
things full forty kinds of cake,
Miss Laura Hubbard took first prize
for the lightest angel cake.
The boys all voted instantly that she
could surely bake.
After luncheon came more games SO
hours were passed away
1t must have been near morning when
each went their homeward way.
10 say they all enjoyed thensel Sc
would be no more than right
For plans were made tefore they left
to meet some other night.

IN as "sparklin' ef-fer-ves-sent'' as

To the tune O. juice a-drappin' in the

Then a-snugglin little closer like, while

He was drownin' in his tears, as I fee
like drownin' now.
It's kind o woman-like, I know, to let
the tears fall
But it's purity hard to check 'em when
I set here an recall
The tales I used to love to hear round
the country store;
l want to laugh an weep at 'em, an
turn an weep some more
Till the minglin' O. my laughter an
my tears swell an rise
IN sweet an lovin' anthem to my
chums beyond the skies,
An l want to hear their voices answer
back as clear an low
AS the echo of their laughter did so
many years ago.
