Vail Woodward.

At the residence of L. p. Barrow
on Sunday evening, January Z, 1906,
Rev. Stephen Lumley pronounced
the words which united in marriage
Mrs. Viola Emerson Vail and Mr.
Irving Burchard Woodward.
These young people are so well
and favorably known in this com
munity that it is unnecessary to say
much about them. Mrs. Vail is town
treasurer and has been engaged in
the millinery business for some time.
Mr.. Woodward is our enterprising
dentist and is liked by everyone.

Evil Effects Of Eootism.

One of the greatest evils of the
American character is its intense ego
tism. We take il for granted that
we are better people than everybody
else. always do the right thing and
can not learn anything fom any one.
A natural result of this national trait
is that we make some very serious
mistakes, not merely in our dealings
with other people, but in our efforts
to develop our foreign trade. In our
efforts to dominate the trade of South
America we have endeavored to make
our customers take such goods as we
considered they should take and we
have neglected to offer them Just such
goods Al they desired, with the result
that we have had the modification
to see the bulk Of the South Ameri-
can trade 70 slsewhers.-Nsw Orleans

regular line of sleeping cars
promises to be an attractive
feature for trans continental
travellers.
Reason Enough.

When one leaves the main lines
of railroad, east or west, and trav-
els, or tries to travel, on some
road which merely serves a local
purpose, he is likely to find pre-
vailing a free-and-easy state of
things as regards speed and sched-
ule time. A Wyoming news
paper gives this account of GER
tain railroad flyer" out that way:
People never take this train eX
cept for journeys of considerable
length; walking is as easy and
much safer for short distances.
On recent occasion, when the
movement of the train was even
more deliberate than usual, a
passenger went to the conductor
and said:
Amt we going pretty slow2"
"Well," said the conductor, I'VE
amt flying I'll admit"
May | ask what is the trouble,

Amt any trouble"
Then why dom, we go faster?"
well, I'll tell you, since you
seem to be so inquisitive. Back
here piece we found a fine two
year-old steer stuck in the trestle,
and we stopped and helped him
out. Now the rules of the road
are that in such cases the animal
belongs to the company"
But how does that make you

Run slow? Why. that ere steer

we hitched him on behind the

HIGH LEVELS REACHED BY MAN.
Heights That kecessitate Artificial
inhalation of OXYGEN.

The highest point at which noun
tain climbers have stayed for any
length of time is 2o,992 feet on the
Himalayas, where an exploring party
painfully stayed for six weeks in 1909.
Higher still at q $40 feet Is the ex-
treme point of Mrs. Bullc, K Work
mans ascents. the greatest height
reached by a woman. Mr.. Bullock
Workman kept on to a point 2S,3s3
feet high, which is the greatest height
reached by any mountain climber.
The attitudes reached by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bullock Workman were above
those at which NJ. Berson. the aero
naut. began his artificial inhalation Of
oxygen. At 26.240 feet the aeronauts
in general begin the continued inspira-
ton of oxygen. and neglect of this
precaution was responsible for the
death of Croce, Spinelli, and Sirel at
2s.2os feet, their companion, Tissan-
dier. just escaping by miracle.
Mount Everest, the highest point Of
the globe. is only some 700 feet higher,
2S,995 feet. and 5000 feet above that
begin the cirrus clouds that are
composed of spicules of ice. At S5,42i
feet is the highest point ever reached
by man. This is the height attained
by NJ. Boron in his balloon on July 81,

Philosophy IN Observation.

Two evidences OF unusual and
commendable discrimination are
submitted by the philosopher OF
New York Mail and Express.
The first was brought out at a
woman's club tea, where one of
the onlookers asked:
"Can you point out the guest
of honor3'
Certainly" replied her friend.
DO you see that woman in
gray with the pink rose in her
bonne,2 She is drinking tea now.
That is our guest of honor"
And who is she?"
II haven't the slightest idea"
Then how do you know she is
the guest of honora"
"Oh, easily enough. The guest
of honor always has the best cup"
In the other instance a little
boy, street gamin, yet with a
philosophy beyond his years. was
endeavoring to drag reluctant
dog along the sidewalk. The
boy was not unkind, and the dog
did not seem unhappy, but he
was struggling and yelping after
the manner of his race. A we'll
meaning lady of middle age stop
ped to look at the dirty pair.

asked. What makes him pull
and bark so1"

Opposed to ssIt.HeaIIna.

Little Paul's grandfather is a
physician. and in Paul's eyes he is
the greatest hero that walks the earth.
Recently the doctor resolved TO take
a trip to Europe for the benefit of his
health. Paul was almost frantic to
think that he was to be separated
from his idol, and tried by every
means within his power to dissuade
his grandfather from going.
Il don't see why you need to go
away for your health. grandpa: you're
a doctor!"
We'll, Paul" replied the old man.
'it is because ! am a doctor that l
know what is best for my health. AS
a doctor l have examined myself and
found that l need a rest and change.
have advised myself to take an ocean
voyage. and when a physician tells
you what is best for you. you ought
to obey his instructions, or else what
IL the use OF doctors?'
Paul sadly pondered over this
weighty argument for a few minutes.
and then his face lighted up and he
said eagerly:
why don't you try another doctor.

HIS BEST FRIEND.

N'A'''@ " CiiS, Ddb IL NOulu llCNtI
have entered my head to ask her
what it was. She was one of
those frank, open girls who don't
tell things beyond a certain point
and who, by their good fellow
ship, keep man at certain dis
tance. She gave me more than
she did to some people, and | was
grateful; but | never rushed in.
A chance remark, made without
a suspicion of where was tread
ing, brought things to a crisis.
1t was at the end Of stormy
afternoon, and we were sitting
over the fire, she in deep wick
er chair, and | down on the
hearth rug. She wasn't paying
the least attention to what was
saying. When bucket of rain
would slash against the window,
she would look over her shoulder
with a nervous twisting of the
lips, and her fingers kept doing
excersises on the arm Of her chair
or plating up the ribbons on her
dress. The house shook a little
and that made me think of the
ocean, and that suggested Pow
ers, and | spoke without glim-
mer of intention.
why Powers sailed today,
didn't he?'
She didn't answer, and | looked
up. Idon't suppose | had ever
really seen the girl herself before
The guard was gone and she was
staring into the fire with an ex-
preston that struck me dumb.
She rubbed the back of her fore
finger first across one cheek and
then across the other, as though
absently, but | saw.
The conventionally suitable
thing would have been for me to
clear out, but didn't. | took
one of her hands and gripped it.
Her head went down on the arm
of her chair, and we sat there
without speaking for a while.
Then she began in the middle, as
though she had been telling me
about it all along.
"He couldn't have cared for
me. ANYWAY. We aren't the
same kind. He looks on life,
while am always in the very
centre, living it. He is interest
ed and sympathetic, but always
the imperSonal critic. don't
believe he ever had an overwhel-
ming impulse in his life. He
moves by deliberate theories.
We're altogether different"
But Genevieve, he thought
lot of you, know | was blum
dering on, but she broke in.
"Oh, he likes me; he is fond of
me. He was telling me | was
his best friend, his comrade.
Can't you see what that meant?
But it was that or nothing, and |
! couldn't give him up so | kept
the other way down under. |
don't think he guessed" "
IF you had shown it a little |
more, wouldn't it have" | con-
She shook her head and start
ed to speak, then falted. Evi-
dently this was the hardest of all
to say. At last it came, with an
effort that made me set my
teeth.
HE couldn't have fallen in
love with woman who hadn't
beauty. The artist in him was
100 strong. Ishould | have recog-
1ized that in him even if he hal-
1't---once---told me so. He told
ne as if he meant me to under
stand it! !.

way he's made. But it kept me

1T would have been a real cal

against herself. "He must be

We sat silent for a while, she,
staring into the fire with the
same hopeless look, while I---but
this story is not about me. Then
door slammed, and in an in
slant she was her other self, alert
and self controlled.
''How did | come to tell you
all this, she exclaimed. "The

honor that you'll never tell this
or even hint it to anyone else all
your life long.

Powers was never moved to
burst of confidence in his life,
but he was always ready to cool

and soul for anyone who was in
