Evcry Little a Helm

Anybody who has visited Cornish,
Me-, has heard of Uncle Freeman"
Hatch, as he was called by all who
knew him, as genial and jovial an old
gentleman as ever was squire" of a
prosperous country town.
He had a good-natured, ready wit,
and was very quick with his answers.
He operated sawmill in the village,
and in his employ was a man named
Sim" Parker whose wages were al
ways overdrawn. He was a drawing,
shiftless sort of a man, in direct con-
trast to Uncle Freeman"
A Saturday night came and Sim"
fully realizing the fact that his wages
were overdrawn, yet nightly in need
of cash, approached Uncle Freeman"
and in a hesitating sort of way said,
Uncle Freeman-could you er-er-
let me have little money tonight"
Quick as a flash came the reply
Yes, Sim, just as little as you want"

1t frequently visited the next door
neighbor, Miss Fannie Moore Re.
Gently during one OF these visits it
remained several days and gave birth
to three kittens. When 1t went home
Miss Custer locked it up. Miss Moore
complained to the Humane society
that Miss Custer was keeping the cat
from the kittens, and an. officer sent
to investigate found that Miss Moore
clesmed the kittens, while Miss Custer
said they were hers. The case went
into Donohues court. He confessed
he was unable to decide and made the
| two pull straws. Miss Custer won
and got the kittens.

Unhappy Love Affairs.

A clergyman discussing unhappy
love affairs said:
Many a love tragedy is caused by
husbands promise to dying wife
that he will not marry again. He
thinks when he makes this promise
that 1t will be easy to keep Whether
1t Is easy or hard to keep it is a prom
Use rarely, if ever, broken.
Time and again widowers have
sought me out for advice on this sub
ject. They are in love, but they prom
ised their dead wives not to marry
again. Shall they break or keep this
promise? l can only advise them to
do as their conscience dictates.
AT the same time | think it Is sci.
fish for dying wives to extract such
promises from their broken-hearted
husbands. Such promises, by the way
are rarely extracted by dying hus
bands from broken-hearted wives. But
then when the dead husbands will is
read 1t is usually found that If the
widow marries again the money Is all
taken from her. So it comes to the
same thing in the end, doesn't it?"

SHOW GRATITUDE OF NATION.
Two Fine Monuments to Men Who
Helped Cause Of Liberty.

The>l Of the people of the United
States for Marquis Lafayette, thu
Frenchman, who In time of our great
est need gave his purse and person tt
the service of this country, has con
tinued throughout all the years thai
have passed since those dark days
When, 80 years after he had rendered
such valuable and distinguished hell
to this country, Lafayette decided t.
revisit 1t Tin 1924, congress resolved
that Whenever the president shall b.
informed Of the time when the mar
quis may be ready to embark, q nation
al ship with suitable accommodations
be employed to bring him to the Unit
ed States" But LaFayette's modestJ
forbade this and he took passage in {
private vessel. When it became
known that he was to revisit Amer
lea, every citizen prepared to give hin
q hearty welcome, and before his ar
rival people were wearing Lafayette
! ribbons, Lafayette waistcoats, LaFay
cite feathers, hats, caps, gloves, etc.
and even the ginger cakes were
stamped with his name. He was Civ
en- continuous ovation in the 2.
states and later congress erected {
magnificent statue to him, in honor O
the man and of the services he rem
dered to America, to the world, and tc
liberty"
The statue stands in LaFayett,
square, the most beautiful of all the
many charming parks in which the
city of Washington abounds.
Another statue in lafayette parl
is that of Count Rochambeau, whC
commanded 5000 French soldiers sen
to aid the Americans in 1889. The
statue was presented to the United
| States by France.

WEATHER PROPHETS AT WORK,
Predictions Reach Washington From
All over the Country.

The officials OF Uncle Sans weather
full predictions made by long-range
weather forecasters, as they are
termed. The long.rangers have re
Gently been bobbing up in all section,
of the country. There are four OF
them known to be in Pennsylvania
two in Ohio, several in New York
New England, and quite a number IL
the Dominion of Canada 1t Is this
opinion of some Of the weather OF
ficials that most Of the long-range pre-
dictions are based upon the old.tlmt
signs, omens and superstitions thai
folks used before the introduction o.
the science OF meteorology to foretel
the coming Of storms, rain, sunshine
and snow.
The flying OF crows, wild ducks anC
other birds toward the south told OF
the coming OF storm; pigs carrying
straws to their stys meant the ap
proach of a cold wave. There are
other long.time-ahead weather proph
cts who predicate their forecasts o.
disaster on the recent earthquakes,
hurricanes and the like, and take II
for granted that other similar dis
asters will follow in the continuation
Of the freak weather In evidence
throughout the year 1906.
One of the latest and most terrify'
ing OF the long-range forecasts thai
were made the other day pretends to
foretell that the winter will be the
most severe on record. "At best
said Prof. Edward B. Garriott, of Prof
Willis l.. Moore's official staff of fore
casters, 'the so-called long-rangt
forecasts are the merest guesswork
II the men who make them could real
ly foretell weather conditions correct
ly as far ahead as they profess they
can, their names, flames and fortunes
would be assured in a mighty shor'
space of time.

PIKE HAD WOUND WATCH.
Timepieee Long in Fish's Stomach
Was Still Running.

That truth is stranger than fiction,
and a great deal stronger, is evidenced
by the experience that befell a mer-
chant of Goodrich, says a correspond
ent of the Detroit Journal. Last
spring the merchant spent few days
at small lake south of here, and
while fishing he lost his gold watch.
The water was of great depth and he
gave 1t up for lost. During the sum-
mer, with a party of friends, all men
of excellent reputation, he made an
other fishing excursion to the lake and
pulled in a fine eight-pound pike. The
establishment of the party can be i'm
agined when they found a gold watch
lodged in the gullet of the fish, and
upon being extracted 1t was found that
the watch was the one the merchant
had lost, and it was running and had
lost but three minutes in that time.
The watch being q stem.winder and
the stem projecting downward into the
throat, the plausible superstition Is that
in masticating its food the fish wound
up the watch daily.

LAsoRERs ARE IN DEMAND.
Work on Public Improvements Con
siderably Delayed.


Owing to the scarcity Of labor the
officials OF the engineer department OF
the district say the vast amount Of i'm
provement work on streets and roads
scheduled for this winter will be con
siderably delayed. There are at pres,
ent about GOO men employed on the
district improvement work, but Engin
eer of Highways Hunt, under whose
supervision this class of work comes,
wants about 200 more, and he has re
sorted to advertising for the workmen,
but even after this he Is not sanguine
of any successful results, as the ordi
nary laborers can get better pay and
hours and lighter work from the vari
Gus contractors, and by working for
the latter, he says, the men will get
paid every week, whereas in the dis
trict the are paid only once every two
weeks, which method is not acceptable
to the average laborer, especially the
colored men.
Mr.. Hunt stated that this is the
second time in 10 years that the dis
trict government has been forced tc
advertise for labor. AS a general rule
he says, there are more men looking
for improvement work than the dis
trict can employ. Mr.. Hunt is pay
ing this class of workmen two dollars
day, and II necessary to avert la
Dor famine it is possible he will raise
the wage as an attraction.

When Col. Church made his final ex.

and had arrived at Mt Desert Harbor,
he was visited by several members of
the Indian tribes of that neighborhood.

asked to be permitted to partake of

be served.

was one already, and rolling up his

Too Truthful.

Norman Hapgood. the journalist and
essayist, was discussing American
newspapers. 1T is not enough that
our papers shall tell the truth" he
said. Truth telling in itself is not
particularly wise nor praiseworthy.
Indeed, it is sometimes the reverse.
Thus a young man called on
young lady one spring morning very
early. He had his big automobile
along. He wanted to give the young
lady a morning spin through the coun.
try.
"A'little girl, the young lady's niece,
answered the bell.
Is your auntie in?" said the young
man.
Eyes, SIR said the little girl.
That's good. Where is she?' he
went on.
"'She's upstairs said the little girl,

Informed me that the jackies were
kept out of these halls because they
were too attractive, because they cap

were left in the cold.
THAT reason was amusing, strik-

quite satisfactory.
