Must Have Been Mistaken.

The following little anecdote halls
from the Highlands: 1t was Donald the
gamekeeper's boast that he knew the
full designation of every aristocratic
guest at the castle, and, moreover, !"
knew how to address them as your
grace" my lord" etc. Man." said
one Of his cronies, on hearing him reel
of list of titles, II wonder you mind
all these names. Do you never make
any mistake whatever?" NO." replied
Donald, with pride, but correcting
himself. lat least, not often; but this
week, man, raaly think did max a
mistake. You see, there was an Eng
lish clergyman staying with us-a
dean or bishop, as they call them. 1

ERA OF BIG THINGS.
Skill and Talent Command Greater
Rewards Than Ever in
Worlds History.

In these days the surgeon who is
master Of his science receives fees
which would have startled the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee of
$4,000 is not uncommon for an OPP
Grafton which can be performed in
comparatively little TIME. OF course,
$4,000 is not the maximum fee.
There are cases, 1t is stated, in
which as much as $4,000 has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm
material. The average man will give
all that he has, il required, to get a
new lease of life through the sur.
geon's skill. A famous throat spe-
cialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father of the
present kaiser. He remained only a
few days after making a diagnosis.
He rendered no bill. but il is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half a years
earnings Of the specialist, who had a
very large income from his profes.
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work. Mr.. John
Morley, it has been stated, was paid
| $4,000 to write the Life of Glad
stChe." Certainly, great skill and
talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. 1t is an era

Attractive Colorado Booklet.

One of the most attractive Of the
summer vacation booklets that have
been issued is "A Colorado Summer"
put out by the passenger department
of the Santa Fe railroad. The pic
turesque mountain scenery and the de-
scriptions of it which the booklet gives
impress the reader with a new idea
of the grandeur of the mountain crags
Of Colorado, and will start one day
dreaming of the time when he can
view for himself the magnificence
which the booklet describes. After
reading the booklet one must certainly
be convinced that Colorado offers both
pleasure and health for every summer
tourist. "A Colorado Summer" may be

Amusing Story of Gen. Nelson Dur
ing the Siege at Gornith-His
Lucky Shot.

One day during the siege OF Corinth
Gen. Nelson came to the front to look
after things and especially to see
how a favorite battery of artillery
was getting along. A party of confed-
crate sharpshooters had taken refuge
IN one old house about half a mile to
the front of our force, and the artil-
lerymen were directing their guns
upon It. He grew very impatient be-
cause the house had not yet been
struck and rode hastily up to the
guns.
They will pick you off there, gen.
eral." said our sergeant in a warning
voice.
The general snapped out: go to

WISDoM's WHISPERS.

Force OF circumstances is a poor
excuse for the taking of a wrong path.
The bearer of unpleasant tldings
rarely appreciates how hard he strikes.
Hold fast 10 truth without re-
gard To what others may think of you.
The value of wealth cannot be es-
timated by those who do not possess it.
1t does one no harm to call atten-
ton To the good that may be seen in
others.
An assumption Of humility does not
always carry with it the appearance
of honesty.
Because others may overestimate
your value is no reason for your do
ing likewise.
Jumping at conclusions without
facts shows a ready mind, if not a
well-balanced one.
Words can be used so as TO increase
their Importance even in telling an
ordinary story.
The ravages of time come creeping
along DO matter how effectively they
may be concealed.

BADGER PHILOSOPHY.

A man can't be unusually polite
without being looked upon with sus-
picion.
When the real nature of a mans
business is in doubt it is often limited
that he is a gambler.
A woman is never satisfied with her
self until she has outdone her neigh
Dor in some respect.
It's hard to understand why actors
with such fabulous sal:ries always
stop at such modest hotels.
Lots of people think they have been
cheated unless they get more than
their moneys worth.-Milwaukee
Sentinel.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

The thing that makes pretty hat
is the face under it.
People may love their children for
their faults. but mighty few others.
Singing in a choir is the very best
way not to make friends of the rest
of it.
Hardly anybody would like to get
the cussing a millionaire has without
his money.
There is hardly anything that makes
q woman madden than to have her
photograph look like her.
The meanest man is the one who
won't kiss a doll for child when she
thinks it has been hurt.
When you see a man looking pretty
cheerful in town it's a sign his fam
lily is away for the summer.
A very useful thing about an anna
teur garden is it's such a nice place
for the dog to bury his bones.
Girls don't get much fun out Of go
ing in swimming unless there is some
man around to show them how.
Even If a baby understands the Ian
guage the women talk to it he'd be
ashamed to admit it by answering.
A man can make good deal of
money in stocks by being careful not
to have anything to do with them.
When a man let's a collar button
fall and brags that it didn't roll un-
der the bureau it's sign he is per-
jurer.
One of the meanest things a man

years.
Although the shipping industry is
one of the very oldest in the country, a
lot of pioneer work" has had to be
done to bring about legislation to meet
modern conditions and foreign competi-

Maine Senators and Maine representa-
tives have always been foremost. They
have secured the enactment of a dozen
important statutes, affecting shipping
within the last six years. They are
now in fair way to bring about further
legislation, such as the anti-pilotage
bill and the ship subvention bill, which
will put shipping in New England on a
better footing than it has even been in
the last twenty years.

Humpback Salmon for Maine.

PORTLAND, Me, April II. An i'm
portant experiment is being made by
the federal fish hatcheries bureau in
salmon breeding in Maine, according to
information received today.
This is the introduction into Maine
waters of the famous humpback salmon
of the Pacific coast. About 100000 of
the fish have been brought here and
next week 25O, 900 of them will be placed
in the Kennebec and Androscoggin riv-
ers. Later $50, 900 will be placed in the
Penobscot river.
An effort is being made to retain
Names prestige as great sea salmon
fishing resort. Formerly sea salmon
we're caught in all of the big rivers of
the State. but they have long since
been fshed out. The experiment is one
that will be watched with the greatest
interest by fishermen all over New Eng
land, and it is believed that it will prove
successful.
