What is our doughty Fusion candidate

shining Sun had only referred TO him
as Colonel Clement then all might
be forgiven, for colonies are made IN
a night and uninade the next morning.
And we see no reason why the Fusion
candidate for governor might not have
earned the title rs well as anyone else.
But as for General Clement that
sticks and won't 90 down. True it is
that Clement has brought general con-
fusion upon the Republican party Of
Vermont in two political campaigns,
once in 1902 and again this memorable
Proctor VS.. Clement year. He has mar
shaled a great army OF voters and hurled
them at The solid phslanx Of the Re-
publican party Of Vermont. Beaten back
he has sent cut skirmishers and then
crept up on the Proctor TANKS, making
concerted attacks on all sides as skiil-

The prevailing winds from a little
west Of south have rlppled the heteru-
geneous sands on Hatteras just south
OF the cape, on Shackelford at its
southwest extremity and on the south
west side Of Smiths island. These
wind nipples, started in sands exposed
by the removal of strip of forest
next the shore, have grown in size to
great sand waves, which are adyanc-

the sand wave has advanced ii has
taken up several feet Of the loose soil
over which it has passed, undermining
houses. laying bare the roots of trees

times into sand waves. which are

Interesting figures are brought out In
recent investigation Of salaries paid
school teachers and mill workers in
Maine. IL has been found that the ay-
eragc pay OF the women teachers is
$3.50 per week, while the average Of
women operators in mills is $500. In
view OF the fact that it costs much
more for the teacher 70 equip herself
for the work than for the mill worker
to enter upon her duties, the disparity
between the wages paid is not enough.
The school teachers should receive the
greater amount by good-sized margin.
In neither case do the Maine figures
appear to be startlingIy large. Hall
Of tho Maine teachers receive less than
5000 year for their services.

He Surprised His Eliza.

An exchange tells good story or a farmer in Southern Arkansas who wore his old suit till everybody was tired of it. and his estilnable wife was almost ashamed of the hustling farmer who had been inside of it so long. But one day while selling produce in town he determined 10 buy new suit and surprise Eliza. So he bundled new suit into the wagon, hurried toward home and at the wagon bridge, two miles from home he stood upon the wagon, peeled and threw the despised old suit into the creek, then he reach- ed for the clothes. Theywere gone had jolted out Of the wagon The night was cold and his teeth chattered as he scurried for home. He sur prised Eliza even more than he anti cipated.
