roo MUCH.

Massachusetts is a good old State, but it costs some people there too much to be in politics. For instance, it cost MT Floss for attempting, unsuc- cessfully, to obtain the Republican nomination for lieutenant governor sS,- 800, while Lieutenant-Goverhor Draper paid out s6,OOO in defeating Mr. Foss' attempt. John B, Moran, to secure the nomination which he would have it be- lieyed the people were bent on giving him, paid out $l,25O. Gamaliel Brad ford paid out $4OO to have his nomina- ton papers circulated for signature. while Congressman Butler Ames spent $6,OS5 in his fight against MT. Dunbar for renomination.
 How different in Connecticut. Here nominations cost nothing, and elections don't cost as much as they used to.

The mother of the infant observed them with modification, and moved the little feet to one side. The young ster 1erked them back instanter, and gave a more vigorous kick than ever.
 The mommuter moved rather nearer the window She tried not to do it ostentatiously-it isn't in her to hurt any ones feelings, even those of a stout mother-but the baby noticed the movement, and, leaning over, hit the oHending knee with a small, specked fist. Then it laughed gurgling laugh. The commuter read her book, and the mother of her assailant gave that ruttian a bangle bracelet to play with.
 The infant threw the bracelet at the commuter, and it, taking ap ara bolic course, anded on the lady-s fin- ger. Then the amateur cure pitcher chuckled immoderately,
 It stretched out in it's maternal relatives lap and by dint of doing so managed to toch the commuters skirt with its chubby little boot. At this feat it said many unintellgible things in cooing tones.

 The commuter laid down her book and looked at the youngster It had red hair and pale-blue eyes; it's eye- lashes and eyebrows were of the most unfinished; its opened moth revealed the fact that 1t had but four teeth to it's name, but though its frock was soiled, 1t had the most fascinating smile in the world, and the commuter played with it all the way to her sta ton.

MORE PAPER IN SIGHT.

The world isn't yet exhausted. Not a little worrying has lately been done be- cause it looked as if paper would soon cost much more on account of the de- crease in the supply of wood pulp Now it appears that the fibre of the cotton stalk will save the situation, It has been demonstrated that all grades of paper, from the best form of linen grades to the lowest, can be made from cotton stalks It is estimated that on an area of land producing a bale of cot ton, at least one ton of stalks can be gathered. Upon this basis the new in- dustry can depend annually upon from 1OOOO,O0O to 12,OOO,O0O tons of raw ma terial, This will not only furnish the necessary supplies to meet all home de- mands, but will also permit of the ex- port of pulp or finished product to for eign countries. At the present time there Is, approximately, S2S7,OOO,0OO in- vested in paper mills in the United States, and few plants are located in the South. The bulk of the material g0- ing into the manufacture of paper at the present time is spruce pine, which is yearly becoming more expensive, ow- ing to the depletion of the forests anu the high prices winch such timber de- mands in the market for other uses.
 The effect of this new invention will be to increase the present value of the South's cotton crop nearly S1OO, 900. .OOO annually. The growers will be amply paid for removing the stalks frcm their fields and their delivery to the paper mills, and, in addition, will re- ceive product on the profit of their own labor In the southwestern section of the cotton belt the new industry will be of special value With the removal oG the cotton stalks from the fields in the early fall, the death knel of the boil weevll will be sounded, and it's present devastating influences will be reduced to a minimum. Paper manu- factured from the cotton stalk is of the strongest texture and the softest finish. It is expected that several plants will be erected in certain portions of the South which will be in full operation by January 1. 1907.
 This is cheering, But we do hope that the new paper supply wont tend to increase the size of the Sunday papers.

 The Democrats of Connecticut are putting in their heavy licks-that is, as heavy licks as their feeble state will allow. Brother Thayer says he is sure of being elected, and the rest don't say they are not sure of being elected. Of course they couldn't afford to, and it is possible that some of them are fatu- ously enjoying the pleasures of hope, Meanwhile the Republicans are march ing on to victory which seems too easy. There has not been such sitr ation in Connecticut for many years, if ever, and 1t is almost to be hoped that there wont be another such soon. It is too tame. We are, however lucky in not having such situation as there is in New York, where they are calling each other names which, if correctly descriptive, are saddening to thoughtful outsiders.
 We don't suppose the Republicans of Connecticut can help being entirely confident. We don't see how they can be any other way. But if their conf- dence leads q good many of them to leave the voting to other and less busy Republicans they will do wrong, Vigi- lance is the price of liberty, and voting is the price of victory

 The cGnmuter does not like promis- cuousb abies. so to speak; and so when a very stout woman carrying a very homely and exceedingly aunsavory in- fant came and took seat beside her in the accommodation train she glued her. eyes to her book and decided that, though the skies fell, she would not look up.
 Eactly why it is that every woman considers that the person who takes the vacant half seat beside her in a railway coach has grossly ignored her privileges is anothe story, but that she does isc ertainly so, and the com muter felt particularly aggrieved on this occasion because of the baby
