and respected by all who knew him, to the old man and told him of his wishes and hopes for his children's future and asked the old man co write down the rules he had practiced through his long and successful life. The old man took pen and paper and wrote three words. The father looked astonished. He said to the old man: "I wanted you to write down some of the rules you have observed that may show them to my sons. It might help them" The old man said: "These are all the rules I have and have ob- served them from my boyhOod until the present time.' The father took the paper and read the words. They were: "Honesty, Industry, Frugal ity." How many men who faithfully practice these three rules cry out against the rich man? The frugal seems to regret we have no soldiers monument. I am sorry for it. l would like to see one in our village, but if we have no soldiers monument we have the finest, most elegant saloons tor should say cafes) not only in the state but in all New England, and many poor working man appears to take great pride in them and tries to help support them and help them on to perhaps still greater magniti- cence.

A REPLY TO VETERAN.

To the Editor of THE BEE: Having read an article in your paper signed "Veteran," I thought would like to say few words. I have kind and grateful regard for every man who in
 any way helped to protect our flag and country in her need. But I can't quite agree with Veteran in all he says. l remember when in our Civil
 war our men, clothed in their suits of blue with shining buttons, rallied around the flag how brave and good
 they seemed to me. Then how many marched away; how few came back! And while many poor men went to the war so did our wealthy ones, our dear the poor widows only child, the rich mans only son and heir. Freely our heroes at home gave their choicest treasures to their countryiin her time of need and peril. And was it not the same in our late war with Spain? Who were our Rough Riders and our heroes at Santiago? Who cut the wires there? Were they all poor men? l think nearly all our people love their country and will suffer hardships, danger, and if ne edful, die for that love. That is the way I want to think of our soldiers, not as men who went to the war for S13 month. They were not the men who saved and kept our glorious flag waving over free land, ''home for the brave" Then the poor man. l do not see why man who has health and strength need be really poor unless he chooses. 1 know men with families who have nothing but what they earn. They seem to have all needed comforts, dress respectfully and are putting by a little money for ''rainy day" or a home of their own later on. I know others who earn as big wages, that ii misfortune OvertakeS them, such as sickness in the family, or out of work a little while, have to have help from
 friends or neighbors or the town. AnC a little help seems needed more or les! all the time, such as clothes for chil

MRS EFFIE WICHERT.

Mrs Ellie Wichert, wife of L. Wichert, the well-known coal dealer, died suddenly on Thursday last, about 9p. m. She had been talking a short time before her death with her hus- band and expired almost without a warning. She had not been feeling we'll for a few days previous to her death, but nothing serious was thought of this fact. Mrs Wichert was a very pleasant, agreeable lady and assisted her husband with the office work in connection with his business. Her sudden death came as great shock to her husband, who was deeply attached to her. The funeral was attended on Saturday at 2 p. m., Rev J. F. Plumb officiating. The pail bearers were A. H. McMahon, George B. Ackley, James Marsh and Fred R. Greene.

THE LOCAL TOBACCO SITUATION.

THE LOCAL IOBACCO SITUATION.
 In the last issue of the New England Tobacco Grower, Henry O. Warner sums up the condition of the local to- bacco crop in the following interesting manner: The crop of 1902 is moving very slowly and at prices far from cost of producing, from three to 10 cents, a large proportion selling from five to eight cents. Packers claim there is a large proportion of waste and filler goods. Few light wrappers and not fine as the market calls for. In regard to seed beds very little attention is paid to securing early plants other than selecting warm protected spots from wind for seed beds, using cloth coverings for beds. Very few beds are covered with glass and none warmed by artificial heat, which in my opinion would be preferable if correctly ap- piled, as in most cases the early crops are preferable, as tobacco cured in warm weather produces lighter crops in color, which is most sought for. Too early stripping has been one great cause of much trouble, causing canker in leaf, as we'll as too early cutting be- fore the leaf is sufficiently ripened, which prodaces darker leaf, and very much reduces the value of the crop.
