Lie On Easy sereet.

I Lie Om EdHy C-A
There are more strong limbed, clear
headed, brave hearted people living on
Easy street than anywhere else In
this broad land, and their prime con-
dition is the natural consequence OF Nv
ing there, for. although you may not
have thought of it, there is close re-
lationship existing betw cen good ne 'i'h
and thelcon seriousness of getting Oh
well in life. You can see this for your
self if YOU will note how strong man
droops, like frost nipped flower, VINO
nv some mistake loses his position, his
possessions or the esteem of bis fellows
one or all. Shylock made hard par
osin with a borrower, and in his eff
fort to foreclose the bond lost his cash
and won the contempt and scorn oi all
men, Mental disturbance followed, ID
GLIDING physical i'll being, and stagger-
ing away from the judges bench ana
clutching at the air, he cried, 81 am
not wellW But you need not go BACK
81 III W Rtl eii
And on the other hand you can see
by observing for yourself how the
gain, or even the anticipated gain, OF
home ON Easy street will make sick
man well, quicken dying hopes into
life and change the water OF sorrow IN
to tie wine of joy. Recent literature
has reminded US how happy turn IN
the tide of the affairs of Josiah Wedge
wood, afterward to become the worlds
great pioneer pottery artist and lnven-
ter. raised him from an invalid couch
and started him upon the road to afflu-
enoe and distinction among England's
industrial princes. Similarly Mary
Wollstonecraft, afterward the mother
of the poet Shelley's wife, i'll from neg
let and discouraged by hardships,
was by the success of her modest ven
lures in literature, heartened to under
take her great life work, which soon
yielded her handsome royalty.
Read the story of Angelina, who
lives on East street and has no desire
to move and see her clear headcdness
aud her health. She was engaged to be
married to Allan. He was clerk re-
ceiving $l2 per week, and she earned
sS5 a month teaching school. After
few years Angelina explained her con
tinued spinsterhood by saying that
she had given Allan time to develop
into larger money getter, and he had
not done it, SO she decided against the
ACCESSIBILITY of exchanging an $50
month position for $50 month hus-
band. 1t is quite true that when pow
erty comes in at the door love flies out
of the window, but it is not because the
Angelinas are without sentiment. 1t is
because love cannot feed on lncompe-
tancy and thrives best on Easy street.
70 the importance ofeverything that
will aid and to get on in the world is
established on sure foundation-the
testimony of facts. We do not exalt
mere money getting above those quail
tiles of head and heart which make
life worth living, but rather emphasize
the honorable getting of it as con-
server of them. Aud hence the wisdom
of living on Easy street-Cent Per
Cent.

New Flagstaff

Russell Post, Grand Army of the Re
public, have recently had fine new
flag pole erected on their ball at the
corner of Water street and Madison
avenue. The pole which had done
duty for twenty-five years WAS never
high enough and was set from plat
form that hid the g. A. X. Tablet, sci
in front of the gable. Some time stree
the truck got out Of order aud the new
staff then became necessity. The new
pcle is 80 feet high, is surmounted by
gilded ball and presents very neal
appearance.
When post commander Jefferson
savage was looking for good straight
stick Of timber from which to have il
made he communicated with the Hol'
dngsworth & Whitney Co. Of Naterville
asking to be allowed 70 select a log from
the many that that concern has had in
the Kennebec drive during the sum inner,
and fferng to pay such price as they
timber was wanted for flag pole for a
Grand Army Post, the officials of the
Holilngswoith & Whitney company ad
ysed Mr. savage thar they should be
be glad Of the opportunity to donate it
without charge. With the Grand Army
post flag pole is more than an orna-
ment as their standing ordefs require
them to display the national colors on
the birthdays of Washington aid Lin
coin and on several legal holidays
Officers of Russell Post havs recently
decided also to see that the oolors are
hoisted on the 9th OF April, the anniver
sary of Lees surrender. These oc-
casions together with the custom OF
placing the flag at half mast at the
death of any high government official or
prominent Grand Army officer, make
many times when the flag staff is an
important accessory to the Post head
quarters.

improvements at Fairyiew Park.

Saturday afternoon the officers of the
Somerset Central Agricultural society
held meeting at Fairview Park and
spent several hours in Inspecting the
buildings and grounds. The roof on
something like half of the cattle sheds
was found to be out of repair and will
be replaced with new for about 800 feet.
This will provide 900 feet of cattle sheds
which will be water tight and other
wise perfectly adapted to the care of
stock. All the other buildings are to
be put in first class condition 50 that
any one having horses, colts stock or
poultry may be sure that their animals
will be properly sheltered. Some bush
es have been allowed to grow up il
neglected corners in years past. These
will be cleared away in the general rem
ovation which will reach every part of
the grounds. The wells and watering
tubs will also receive attention 50 that
an ample and convenient water supply
can be counted upon.
Through arrangements now completed
with the several owners the ar a near
the eastern end of the grand stand is TO
be cleared of the restaurant buildings
now standing there. The larger Of these
is to be moved to point further back
and fitted for dising hall and another
will replace the old ticket office which
has done duty SO long at the gate
This will be large enough 10 handle The
ticket business conveniently and will
afford table or desk room for the trust
ees and other officers of the society
Still another OF these buildings is TO be
remodeled for a women's dressing and
toilet room
There is no question but v hat the
affiars of the Somerset Central society
are receiving mole attention this year
than for quarter of century and that
it is likely TO hold one of the bigges'
fairs of the year on its three days in
September.

the capacity of the new switchboard,
will be added if required During the
next week au out door crew will COM
menee rewriting the town, taking down
the separate wires and replacing them
with lines run in LEAD cables or in close
ly arranged bundles on what is known
as the ring cable system. Much Is 10
be hoped for from the replacing of the
separate wires oy cables, 80 far as the
appearance of the streets are concerned,
and altogether the change should give
us more efficient service than oko@-
hogan has ever enjoyed,

cause unless wasting illness has pre-

Obscure influences, something I'M
