Saved a Little Gin.

1T may be that the average negro
is ignorant" says Representative
Noon Of Tennessee but had one in
my employ who was one Of the
shrewdest fellows I ever ran across.
Jim, for that was his name, was
a good negro. but he loved gin better
than de did his Maker. and he would
not pay a debt If there was any earth
" way to get out Of it. One day Jim
went to the store, armed with a gal
Ion jug. and asked for a quart Of gin,
telling the merchant that he was pre-
pared TO settle. The fluid was put in,
and then IL was discovered that Jim
had no money. Forthwith the mer-
chant poured the quart back in the
meausre, while Jim picked up his jug
and walked out smelling.
He had put in about a quart Of
water, and, OF course. he had just
about that much gin and water in the
jug. The grocer's gin in his barrel
was little weaker, but Jim's quart
was strong enough TO bridge over on"

III HE HAD BEEN KILLED ON
THE RAILROAD

The accidental death of c. A Alder
ton by drowning, seems to be parti-
cUlarly sad-a man in the full vigOr
Of his life-pOwers taken away from
wife and baby, and from society,
without compensation Of any sort.
His weeping wife was heard to say,
1t wouldn't be so bad if he had been
killed on the railroad" The fataIist
would say that it doesn't make any
difference where or how a man dies;
things happen by inevitable necessity:
death in pleasure. death in labor-aIl
are the same
The meaning of the grief--strieken
woman was. that if he had been killed
on the railroad. then he would have
been sacrificed doing his duty, in
earning a livelihood. and carrying for
ward the work Of an artery in our
Industrial commerce. He was en-
gagged in a dangerous employment,
and death by accident would never
be wholly unexpected
True ii is There's a difference be
tween the sacrifice Of a man in mere
y the pursuit Of pleasure and in the
pursuit of some necessary labor or
performance Pleasures are Injuries
and cannot rightly call upon a man
TO give UP his life or to hazard health
or limb Pleasures also act solely
upon the individual hence a man
could be here doing nothing for the
good Of some one else. So that. If a
man gets killed in the pursuit of
pleasure, we feel that the loss is need
less and without compensation.
No one viii doubt that men are
valuable to society. And every man.
lost while in the vigOr Of his life
weakens It by one Oftentimes men
are called upon to encounter danger
that the many may be safe; to die
in the defense Of his home and his
country; and when by accident a man
is struck down at his post Of duty
people are wont to mourn him, but
with the words. upon the field Of
duty and Of honor" The man, thus
sacrificed and the labor he was per
forming make up an equation.
So the words come back TO Us, and

PUBLIC SIGNS OF MOURNING.
So Common in Washington That They
Lose All Meaning.
From Washington Post


From Washington Post
The trappings Of public woe eXhi-
bited inthe national capital have be-
come something Of a nuisance Years
ago, whenever an ex-cabinet officer
died, the department to which he be-
longed was draped with black until
il seemed that the nation was in hOr-
rible grief. Congress finally took
charge Of this and passed a law pre-
venting the draping Of public build
ings as a mark Of mourning. In those
days, also, il was customary to close
a department upon the announcement
Of the death Of an ex-cabinet officer,
and also upon the day Of the funeral
There has been a reform in this par
ticular, and the department now
closes only upon the day Of the fun
eral Of a man who died while in Of
fee But it has not prevented the ex-
hibitiOn Of public mourning in most
destinations manner. The desk and
chair Of the late secretary Of state
were draped for month and had a
most mOUrnful appearance. Secretary
Root. when he came here to be sworn
in, could not occupy the office Of the
secretary Of state because the trap
pings Of woe for the late Secretary
Hay made the secretary's Office un-
inhabitable- Those who knew Sec
Rotary Hay are convinced that he
would not have approved Of any such
display
Then, again, the half-masting Of
flags is most depressing. For the last
two years the flags of Washington,
and especially those Of the city gov
eminent, have been at half-mast
nearly all the time People forgot for
whom they were mourning. The flags
on the schools, on fire department
buildings, and on the district govern
ment building are continually waving
at ha1f-mast, and no one can tell why
or for whom

WHEN TO GO TO WORK.

If I had a humble hundred,
I'd leave the city's din
And bide awhile at COney Isle,
And blow that hundred in.
If I had a humping thousand,
I'd buy a put or call
Down In the Street whose pace is
feet,
And maybe lose it all.
If I had a mighty million,
A touring car I'd get;
With spirits high. away I'd fly
To the farthest coast, you bet.
II I had a blooming billion
With ne'er a chance to shirk
The cares Of wealth and loss Of health
I think I'd go to work

WILL INCREASE COURSE.
High School Board Made a Very I'M
portant Announcement.

At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors 'of the Gardiner High school, last
evening. it was voted that the present
course in the Curriculum of the High
school, known as the commercial
course" be increased by the addition of
the studies Of stenography and type
writing. This new feature will go into
effect Immediately and will be offered
to pupils who enter, this year. This
course is the plan of Prof. Powers. and
1T is certain that it will be one of the
most popular that will be offered by
the High school.
Hitherto students desiring to take up
this branch of commercial education
have been forced to go to business col
leges in other cities, a plan entailing
considerable expense and the cost has
often been prohibitive to the poorer
students. who may now enjoy the priv
ileges of the course free of expense
providing Of course that they are ELI
gible for free tuition in the High school
Typcwriting machines and other sup
plies will be purchased at the expense
of the city, and by the addition of this
branch of study, the Gardiner High
school will offer commercial course
that cannot be surpassed by any 9TH
or institution in the State.
By vote of the directors. Miss Tucker
of West Gardiner, was elected teacher
of typewriting and stenography, to
serve one year. Upon Miss Tucker de-
Ponds the inauguration of the new
studies. and she is teacher well fitted
to carry out the arduous task to a sue
cessful completion. Miss Tucker has
been employed in teaching these
studies in Bangor commercial colleges,
and the directors consider that they are
very fortunate to obtain her services.
The only other business of import
ance to be transacted at the meeting
was the discussion of candidates for
the places in the High school faculty
made vacant by the resignation of Miss
Alice Sands, who has accepted posi-
ton in the Lewiston High school. No
definite choice was made. last evening,
but teacher will be appointed within

BOARD OF TRADE MEETING.
Plans for New $4,000 Power Plant for
Commonwealth Shoe Factory.

A special meeting of the Gardiner
Board of Trade was held, last evening
in the City building, and the. atten-
dance of the members of the executive
committee was quite large. The meet
ing was called for the purpose Of con-
sidering a ways and means for furnish
ing the Commonwealth shoe factory
with a new and improved power plant.
The power plant now in use, while it
is an efficient one. is not of sufficient
size and capacity to furnish the fac
tory with the power needed for its sat
isfactory operation. The output of the
factory has grown considerably, sine ;
the present power plant was installed
and it is for this reason that better
facilities are required.
The committee, that has been in
charge of the matter, reported some
progress, and it was voted that the
committee submit it's present plans to
& Leather Co. for approval and for
suggestions. The plans that have beer
prepared call for fine modern power
plant, one that will cost approximately,
$4,000. AS the new plant is needed at
the present time, it is expected that the
Board of Trade committee and the
shoe company representatives will
agree on the plans in the very near
future.
The special committee that has been
considering the Holmes foundry plant
as an addition to the present shoe fac
tory buildings, made its report, and 1t
was voted that the matter be held in
abeyence until the convenience of the
Commonwealth Co. The meeting ad-
journed at o'clock.
