be dropped into it. This may
have some connection with the
weather we are experiencing and
which advanced meteorologists
claim to be the fact. At any rate,
Carrington's discovery in 1859 has
many believers, and subsequent
events demonstrate that solar dis
turbances, known as sun spots,
undoubtedly affect the earth and
the atmosphere. One Of the most
notable of these disturbances was
on October 81, 1903, when the
telegraph wires were rendered

Redeem Your Past Failures.

You may say that you have failed too
often. that there is no use in trying,
that it IS impossible for you to sue

for a man whose spirit is unconquered
No matter how late the hour or how

Of Scrooge. the miser. in the closing
years Of his life, from hard, narrow,

lover of his kind, is no mere myth

Hale at Ninety.

Judge Charles Field of AthoI,
Mass, is the oldest member Of the
bar in New England and the oldest
Judge in the United States who is
at present exercising his full judic-
ial functions Although 80 years
old. Judge Field sits ON his court
bench almost every day.
At day when men begin to lose
their usefulness at so, retire from
occupation at so and die of old age
ut 70, the spectacle of a man of 80
in full vigor and still hard at work
seems to call for an extraordinary
explanation. But Judge Fields
explanation il very commo"place.
He has lived simply and worked
constantly when he was not play
ing
1t seems a very simple explana-
ton indeed. Anybody could do
the same. But mighty few do.
Most of us live As high as our
means will permit, and work when
we have to.
Lots of us live higher than our
means justify, and wear them
selves out with worry at the brink
of the financial chasm. Lots of US
eat lobster and drink champagne
when both pocketbook and stomach
call for mush and milk.
We may put on a swell front
and fool society; we may even fool
ourselves; but we can't fool nature.
Old Dame Nature is very oblig-
ing. She will let YOU drive nails
in your own coffin az fast as YOU
wish, and she even seems to smile
tolerantly at your enjoyment of the
operation. But she doesn't nap
and she never gets softhcarted.
The minute you have finished your
coffin making, she will see to it
that you, too, are ready for the
funeral.
This hale and hearty old Judge
of 80 has not only lived simply.
but worked constantly when not
at play. 1t takes longer to wear
out than to rust out.
There are people too indolent to
be heaIthy-literally tho lazy to
live. Work with brains and hands
puts us in touch with people,
keeps the fire of enthusiasm burn
ing under the boilers af our ener-
gies, az it were. and binds us to
life by a thousand-and-one indefin-
able but powerful ties.
If YOU are idle, your mind will
conjure up troubles and meIan-
choly that are miasma to the soul.
A long life is necessarily a
bright, cheerful. one. There is
nothing so inane and detrimental
TO mind and health as the CONVEX
sation of people on their aches and
pains.
Long life is not merely matter
IF years. Life is like a day-it
nay be sunny and glowing until
The stars come timidly to wade in
The shadows of the night.
Or the day may darken down
with clouds and die away in mid
afternoon. Omaha Daily News.

duties imposed upon him as council
man. He is also chairman of the
board of trustees of the uptown
school district. The new law,
which changed the terms of city
officials to two years, legislated Mr..
Holmes out of Office as council
man, and the republicans, recogniz-
ing his ability to fill the office of
city clerk, honored him with the
nomination. If elected we can as
sure the people that the business of
the city which comes under his con
troll will be cared for in a careful
and strictly business-like manner.
E. M. Stewart, the Nominee for
treasurer can be classed as one of
the "old timers in Montpelier. He
first came here eleven years ago as
dispatcher for the Short Line. For
little over two years he has con-
Quoted the corner grocery known
as ''It." He is a thorough business
man, strictly honest IN all of his
transactions and one who has the
esteem and confidence Of every citi-
zen of the community. The funds
of the city during the next two
years could be entrusted in no safer
hands than those of E. M. Stewart.
In the person of Thos. Barr ets,
the nominee for police magistrate,
the republicans have man who is
thoroughly qualified for the office.
lie is now justice of the peace of
Montpelier, and the duties Of the
police magistrate are right in line
with those of justice. Since his
election as justice. Mr.. Barrett has
devoted considerable time in &C.
quainting himself with the laws of
our state, and this knowledge will
greatly aid him in discharging the
duties of police magistrate.
Edward Bucher, the present coun-
ty surveyor, is the nominee for city
engineer. Mr.. Bucher is compe-
tent civil engineer and lnasmuch as
this official will have considerable
work in connection with the pro-
posed city water system, it is highly
important that thoroughly compe-
tent and reliable man should be
elected to that Office this year.
Of all the city offices, there are
none of as great Importance as that
OF councllmen. These men are the
guardians of the peoples money
they can spend it judiciously or
recklessly, as their judgments die
tate. 1t is true the mayor can, in a
measure, check an extravagant policy
OF a city council, but by three
! fourths vote council can override
the wishes of mayor and expend
the city funds as they see fit. In
