His Contempt For Great Men Was
Subject to Modification.
Carlyle's opinion of Herbert Spencer
as the most unending ass in Christen-
dom" must, of course, be read in CON
junction with Carlyle's derision for
mankind in general. Mostly FOOLS" he
cheerfully thought of us all. Darwin,
we know, he would not have at any
price-not word of him. Cardinal
Newman, he estimated, had "the brain
OF a medium sized rabbit" Ruskin
was bottle of soda water. "a bad
young man" was his sum up Of anoth-
er eminent writer
But these hostile phrases were sub
Ject to considerable modification If the
man against whom they were aimed
came near enough to Carlyle to do him
personal favor, even to pay him a
personal compliment. Disraeli, whom
he had described as a mountebank
dancing upon John Bulls stomach, Of
fered Carlyle a baronetcy and elected
from him, together with q refusal of
the title, many tributes to his mag
nanimity. He said very little about
Disraeh heneefOrth in print, and in
private he spoke of him only as "a very
tragical comical fellow" = London

bered. Fully 600 people gathered to
witness the floating of the stars and

raising was that the flag was raised by
Hon. John Bailey and "Uncle" Ed.
Davenport both born in Newbury,
1S22-1S2O. These veteran Republicans
voted the first national and State Re-
publican tickets and every one since.
The flag, which was a beauty, was
loudly cheered as it foated in the cool
clear air of that perfect August after
noon. The speakers, Congressman
Haskins and Congressman Campbell
Of Kansas, held the closest attention
of the great crowd, even those who
could not get seats listened with inter-
est until the last word was spoken. The
Chelsea Brass band of twenty-five
pieces, enlivened the occasion. E. W.
Smith presided. The local arrange
ments were in the hands of H. T.

HOG Has TWO SHOUTS.

Eldora, Ia. Aug. 24.-One of the
queerest natural freaks ever seen in
Iowa is double-snouted hog owned
by Charles Smell, who lives at Lehigh.
The hog is now year old, and is per-
fectly normal in every respect, with
the exception of the extra nose, which
does not seem to inconvenience him.
This snout, which is perfect in every
detail, comes out of the jowl on the
left side standing at right angles, just
below the eye. 1t is almost as large
as the regular one.

NAVAL STATION CRIPPLED

Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug. "a. One of

station at Lamoine was blown over
in Saturday nights storm, putting
the entire plant out of use. The dis

which went down weighed about 100
tons, and was 1876 feet high. In the
smash-up a barge lying in the coal
pocket was stove in. The tower which

probably have to be rebuilt. The La
moline Coaling Station was built in

manoeuvres last summer. a court Of

we may bring our things from outside
inside and stop inside the Inside Inn
because we won't have to 60 from the
