Hints And Helps

The man who finds most fault
with the preaching, is often the
one who is doing the least toward
the preacher 5 support.
Many people in the church are
willing to do anything for Christ
except keep his commandments.
Hope can never die while God is
being trusted.
God has promised that II mau
who will improve his talent shall
make not less than n hundred per
cent by doing it.
1t is our duty to work for what
ever we ought to pray for.
Prosecuting good man Is the
devils way Of showing that he
hates righteousness.
Finding fault with others is us
ualiy round about way of hrag

Doing will not admit us to hcav.

None eau know what il means to

The man who has to bite hi,

tant secretary of the treasury, is chair
man and was created by the President
to ascertain what changes may be
necessary to place the conduct of the
executive business of the government
on the most economical and effective
basis. called attention, among other
things. to useless letter writing. urg-
ing that it should be eliminated from
the government business.
With reference to this particular
branch Of the commissions inquiry
the President said: "A resolute effort
should be made to secure brevity IN
correspondence and the elimination of
useless letter writing. There is a type
of burcaucrat who believes that his en-
tire work and that the entire work OF
the government should be the collec-
ton of papers in reference to case,
commenting with eager minuteness on
each. and corresponding with other
officials in reference thereto. These
people really care nothing for the case.
but only for documents in the case.
In all branches of the government
there is tendency greatly to increase
unnecessary and largely perfunctory
letter writing"

ly in ruins. The crew rescued Officer

ceived caused some alarm among the

assured.

be temporarily repaired and it is ex-
rected that the Halifax will sail for

Now that the days are growing colder
and lack Frost is getting busy. the men
are making bets on their opinion OF ahe
date on which the river above Bath Will
BE- closed to navigation and the up river
cities and towns shut out from water
communication with the rest of the world.
The preponderance of such expert opinion
would seera to irdicate that the river here
will be closed on Nov. e. This is within
II week of the time 1t has closed for many
years and the men who have Kept records
base their opinion on that bit of history.
Last season. the last tow from up river

Venezuela Fails to Paw
Second InstaIalent
Of PIumley Arbitration Award
10 French Government.
ssysring Of Diplomatic Relations Claimed
Sufficient Cause for Action.

Paris. Nov. 16-The foreign Office is
advised that President Castro, yester-
day. refused to pay the second install
mcnt of the Plumley arbitration award
The arbitration covered damages sus-
tanned by French citizens in Venezuela
during revolutionary periods prior to
1908. Judge Frank Plumley of North
field. VT. was president of the arbitra-
ton commission. which met at North
field. last year.
The judgment was in favor of France
which was awarded about S650,000 and
President Castro paid the first install
ment of the award three months ago.
The second payment, due yesterday,
was not paid. Apparently, the Vene-
zuelan presidents failure to pay was
on the ground that diplomatic relations
between France and Venezuela are in
terrupted. The officials have declined
10 admit that this justified President
Castro In not paying the instalment
The instalment is considered to be a
further provocation.
