Tailoring Was the First Business in Existence.

When Adam put on his first fig leaf the men's clothing business was born. The first ready made garment was a fig leaf. Men who don't care about their appearance still buy ready-made clothes, many of which are not better than fig leaves.
 If you want to be dressed up-to-d date have your clothes made to order by Nicholson the Tailor. You get the finest of up-to-date selections both in styles, fit and workmanship than in any of the larger cities. Keep an eye out for our fall novelties.

especially against newspapers. 1t seems
incredible that a frenzied TRADE against
newspapers-'the viper press" Dowie
calls them-should make a man give
up his money to him, but it does. His
latest exploit was his descent upon New
York with his Restoration Host, by
which he expected 10 accomplish great
things for Zion. New York, however,
refusded to take him seriously and
literally laughed him out of the city.
The crusade was a dismal failure, as far
as any result other than che amusement
Of the people of the metropolis was con
cerned. for his meetings in Madison
Square Garden were regarded as "the
best show in town" as long as they
lasted. Bitter and disgusted, Dowie
returned with his hungry hosts to Zion.
Since then a number of suits has been
entered against him and judgments
secured.

The yachting experts have figured it
out that if the breeze is very light in
the cup races, that is, just strong
enough to allow them to finish within
the time limit, the Shamrock III has
better chances of winning than the
Reliance. If there is a good racing
breeze, anywhere from 10 to 20 miles
an hour, they say the chances are much
in favor of the Reliance. Again, if
there is gale blowing, regular slash
ing, reefing breeze, the Shamrock is
looked upon to do better than the de-
fender. These experts have it that the
boats are so well matched that the re-
suits will depend upon the winds. This
forecast doesn't tend to decrease the
popular interest in the coming races.

Knows How It Is Himself.
Tough in Hot Weather.
Reflections of a Bachelor.

Morals are the rules we make for other
people.
The average person likes to go to Eu-
rope so as to get back and be able to
brag about it.
Some men are born fools. some achieve
foolishness and some have foolishness
married upon them.
The oftener woman gets married the
surer she is that her first husband was
not the kind she wanted, but a better
kind than those after him.
The woman who has the most talked
about clothes line in town can stand a
good deal of unhappiness without getting
discouraged.
It makes a woman very unhappy not to
have anything to be unhappy over.
The man who tries to make lot out
of nothing has to work twice as hard in
the end to get nothing.
The sensible husband is as careful not
to get in the way of his wife as in the
way of an automobile.
When a woman Is willing to tell another
scandal about herself it is a sign she al
ready knows it.
The same boy who is taught to believe
that the drumstick is the best part of the
turkey grows up to imagine that his
wife always gives in to him.

The Savings Bank Depo.itors.

The mid-year returns to Bank Ex-
aminer Undertake show that 2OS.I41
people have deposits to the amount of
$781,073 In the Maine savings banks.
This is more than two out of every
seven people in Maine, men, women
and children, since the nonresident
depositors are relatively too few to be
considered. 1t is splendid proof of
the thrift and prosperity Of our people
This laying by of something for rainy
day is a Yankee trait, and yet the con-
dition Of things here at home is dupli-
Gated in all sections of the country.
The savings bank system has not been
expanded in the South, and many hum
dreds Of thousands of people have their
money in national banks and trust
companies, and yet the savings banks
of this country have now 6,666,671 in
dividual depositors and their deposits
reach the enormous sum of over
2,75O,OOO,OO
bearing on politics is easily seen by
comparison with 1896 when the coun-
try became tired of Democratic hard
times and restored the Republican par
ty to power. In tl-at year there were
over 100000 fewer depositors and
over $s43,OOO,0OO less deposits. In 9th.
er words, the depositors have increased
80 per cent in seven years, while the
total deposits have increased 40 per
cent. In our own State, the depositors
in 1896 were 1915 and the deposits
were $57,476,S95, against POSTAL and
$74,7S1,073. There are $4,000 more peo-
pie in Maine with savings bank ac-
counts than there were when McKin-
ley was elected for the first time. What
more eloquent proof can there be of
good times for the wage earners?

Ihe temporary closing Of SO many
cotton mills is pretty good guarantee
that the spectators will not attempt
10 corner the new cotton crop. That
Will soon be coming along to relieve
the situation. Cotton is raised and
bought only to be sold to the mills, and
If the mills refuse to buy when the
price is made artificially high, the price
IS bound to come down. The eco
nomic law enforces itself, but it seems
pity that there is no other law to
punish men who corner the market
until mills have to shut down.

Maine. The big celebrations are few,
and perhaps 1t Is just as we'll for that
is not what the week is for. But the
Old Home spirit Is in the air, and the
tide of summer visitors, which is now
at its highest, will bring a multitude
from all parts of the country to see the
old folks, and visit the scenes of child
hood and renew old associations
There are a few centcnnials and formal
celebrations mixed in, and these are
good features, but the best features OF
the week will find but obscure, If any

Never heard of biga? Well, a few
days ago nobody in New York had ever
heard of one but now everybody in the
city is on intimate terms with the word.
A "biga" Is a two-horse vehicle. But a
biga in the big historical and artistic
sense is a war chariot; and the particu-
lar biga with which Gen. di Cesnola
has endowed the Metropolitan museum.
at cost of nearly 100000, is the richly
decorated bronze war chariot of some
