A small Kansas boy wrote to the sec
rotary of his state not long ago and
asked for volume Of the report Of the
state board of agriculture. The secre-
tary was much pleased that youth
should show such interest in state affairs
and asked If there was any especial re-
port which the boy desired. The lad
wrote back that there was not, and all
he wanted, anyway, was some old book
heavy enough to press wild f)wers in.

The difference between profits on
investment and profit on product finds
clear Illustration in recent reports on
the gold mining industry of South
Africa. The value of the gold extracted
during the Gu rent calendar year will
probably be not far from 800 900, oOo
During the first six months of this
year dividends to the amount OF
325 100000 we're declared and paid.
L is expected that like and perhaps
even larger dividends will be paid dur
ing the remaining six months. The
dividend on output therefore will be in
excess of so per cent of its market
value, The dividends paid during
1904 were approximately s45 GOO, 900
on an output of value of S75, 900 600.

Now that the hay crop is practically
harvested, it will be seen that our early

A Correction.

1t seems that our statement as to
the sounding of the alarm for the fire
of Sunday morning, July %, was not
in exact accord with the facts, OF
if 80, was subject to misinterpretation
When Walter Benson reached the station
at the postofice, John Reilly, the night
Waterman, was there, but as the alarm
hal not sounded Mr.. Benson assumed
that the proper attempt had not been
made to give the signal and therefore
jumped to the box and pulled the hook
down without stopping to inquire
what had been done. 1t now appears
that Mr. Reilly had but just unlocked
the box and that his hand had just
released the hook after giving it the
proper depression, when Mr. Benson
arrived. A period of about five seconds
elapses after the hook is pulled down
before the first sound of the whistle and
this was just sufficient to give Mr.
Benson the wrong impression.

cry Healthy.

With the single exception of an infant
of three months, no deaths are recorded
at the office Of the Town Clerk for the
month of July and we do not learn of
the demise Of any other person within
the limits of the town of Skowhegan
during that time. The hearse was not
made use of during that month, in fact
was not out of its quarters from June Is
to August l. Chas. Fairbrother, who
has had the care Of the hearse for eleven
years, tells US that he has not known of
like period when the town has been free
from mortality for that length of time.
1t would be interesting to know If any
other American town of over 5000 in-
habitants could show such remarkable
months record.
