The Business Outlook in Maine.

The semi annual report of Secretary
Banding at the recent meeting of the
State Board of Trade in Waterville
contained a number Of facts relative
to existing Industrial conditions in
Maine that are we'll worthy of careful
consideration. There are always
few business men in every community
who are disposed to take a sombre
view of the outlook without going to
the trouble of informing themselves as
to the general conditions which gov
ern industrial and commercial activity.
Mr.. Blandings report is specially valu-
able from the fact that it affords a
broad view of the general industrial
Mr. Banding jobbers report an excel
lent distribution of spring goods
throughout the State. The ice crop is
large one, and of superior quality;
everything is booming in the lumber
industry; agriculture, aside from the
low price of potatoes. is in a flourish
ing condition; the outlook for building
operations is vastly better than it was
last year; an exceptionally large
amount of railroad construction Is al
ready provided for; and the flood of in
quiries now pouring in upon the
General Passenger and Ticket Agents
of our Maine transportation lines
indicate a record breaking run of bust
ness at our summer resorts. From
every point of view the year 1905
promises to be a prosperous one for the
State of Maine, and moreover this
prosperity bids fair to be sufficiently
diversified to afford all our citizens a
share in 1t.

The middle-aged man was hanging
to a strap in the street car with one
hand and trying to read a newspaper
held in the other, when a young man
crowded up against him.

the older man after a minute. "The
watch / am wearing and which you
seem SO anxious to possess yourself of
is only gun metal and you couldn't
raise a quarter on it. I have only
some small change in my pocket and,
taken altogether, 1t won't pay you ia

IF that's the case then there's moth

he crowded his way along, and he soon

A Natural Result.
(Turf, Farm and Honey

(IufI, Farm ana HOme.)
1t must be with good deal of salts
faction that Mr.. Burleigh, the State
printer, reviews the great splurge that
was made in certain quarters during
the recent session of the Legislature,
over the administration of his office,
and the splendid vindication given
him by the special committee that was
appointed to undo him. We cannot
recall a more vindictive and mali
ciOus assault, or rather series of as
saults, than have been made upon this
official all during the winter. After
having gone into the subject thor
oughly, with the greatest minuteness,
Mr.. Bur]eigh comes out as we expect
doing charged against him. We
knew from the beginning, as did
many others who cared to know, that
MIR. Burleigh had administered his
office faithfully and honestly, that he
had only charged precisely what the
law authorized him to charge, and
that for the work that he was ordered
to do by the several officials. There
was no question but what the work
was well done. and that the serv-
ice was promptly rendered, and fur
thermore no one pretended even for a
moment that the same amount and
same quality of work ever was or ever
will be printed for anywhere near as
low price. Just why the onslaught
was made is not difficult to ascertain,
hence the outcome was but a natural
result, and it goes without saying
that it is as gratifying to Mr. Bur-
leigh and his friends as it must be
humiliating to the enemies who have
pursued him so persistently.

Carneqie and the Small Colleges,

Having reached a point in his bene-
factions where the requests for library
buildings average only one day, An
drew Carnegie now announces that he
is going into new line of philanthro-
py, namely giving money to the many
small colleges scattered throughout the
country. There are great many such
institutions, most of them worthy and
deserving. and fully able to make good
use of all the money which Mr.. Carne-
gle may bestow upon them. In fact, ii
is not at all unlikely that his benefac-
tions to small colleges. while not likely
to be SO numerous as his gifts of libra =
~ buildings to municipalities, may ac-
cOmplish more real good to the cOun-
try as whole. Mr.. Carnegie takes
the ground that the great universities
in the country have sufficient money
already, and he Furthermore favors
the small colleges on the ground that
the young men who attend them have
a better chance of getting good edu-
cation than those who go to the large
university.
In our own State. Mr.. Carnegie has
combined his two lines of benefactions
by presenting the University of Maine
with a $4,000 library building, a
structure of which it was greatly in
need. Why should he not do a similar
service for Colby College? This insti-
tution's library occupies cramped
quarters in it's Memorial hall and its
need is deserving of the early consid-

gle; but both would doubtless welcome

One of the most interesting books Of
the year will be the autobiography of
Mrs. Chadwick, if she. keeps her prom
fse to prepare and publish such a vol
ume. If The book is really a frank
and full statement of her career it will
be one of the most remarkable stories
ever penned, and something discount
ing the most ambitious efforts of the
writer's of fiction. 1t is not unlikely
that the book will rank with the "best
sellers of the season, and in that case
perhaps she will be able to pay up the
liabilities of her dupes.

Pointed Paragraphs.

Now let the cold wave cease to wave.
Men make money and women make
them hand it over.
When woman boards the train for her
wedding trip she imagines all her female
aconaintances envy her.
If some men were to refrain from tell
ing what they don't know it would be a
great surprise to their acquaintance.
Nothing makes married woman so
mad as to have a bachelor give her the
laugh when she tells him he really ought
to get married.
Marriage is a rank failure when a
woman has to play ragtime tunes on a
washboard in order to support the alleged
man who poses as her husband.
The extent of some peoples charitable
ness is to attend a charity theatrical per-
Torrance where there is 4 chance of get
ting the worth of their money.
When a society woman can't think of
anything more to say at a social function
she moves on and gives the other women
a chance to say things about her.

II their city is classed in these times

lished in the Chicago Record Herald
