Everyone Got a Bargain.

The volunteer auctioneers were worth
the price OF admission in themselves.
What they lacked in experience they
atoned for in zeal. quick repartee and
loudness OF voice and in the main they
held to an article and squeezed the last
cent from the bidders just as an ex-
perienced red flag artist might have
done. Everyone got one or more bar
gains The man Of family would be seen
departing with a market basket full OF
groceries; the young housewife would
bid feverishly on a piece of hand paint
ed china: the school miss would leave
content with a real lace handkerchief.
while here and there could be seen
shame-faced young men with sofa pill

sImple RuIe For Getting Rich.

Describing the operations hy which Charles T. Yerkes and his associates obtained control of the Philadelphia street railroads, Charles E. Russell, in Everybody's magazine, says From this you are not to assume that these gentlemen nor any of them originated the great American idea in finance. That were to wrong history to wrong the dead and them. They merely ap- piled to their purchases the princi- pies of that idea after repeated ex- ploits by others had brought it to the precision of a familiar scientific for mula It might be called the agree- able formula for making something from nothing, or it might be called the formula for getting rich by levy ing tribute on the public. The es- sence of it Is to gather money by com polling millions of people in this and succeeding generations 10 pay eXor- bitant prices for poor services, A simpler device never entered the human mind; of ingenuity or novelty 1t had just so much as there is in the pistol of a highwayman. To get control of one piece of street railroad good or bad; to issue upon it all the bonds and stocks it would bear; to sell these, regardless of their real value, to the confding public; to use the proceeds to buy another piece of railroad; to repeat the process as long as there was anything worth buying what could be simpler? No risk was incurred, no capital required; the confding public attended to all that. ["

MOOSE ATTACKS A HORSE.
And the Horse Retorts fin Kind-An
 Incident of the Maine Woods.

nlcluellt or the Malne W0O0S-
 Three young men from Milltown, near Calais, went out into the coun- try districts recently to spend the day and left their old horse standing un- der the shade of the whispering pines while they communed with nature some little distance away They were startled by the neighing and snorting of their steed, and upon reaching the spot where the animal was tied they witnessed an exciting encounter be- tween a bull moose and the horse.
 The monarch of the forest just hap pened along and found the horse en- croaching upon his domain and very naturally. resented the intrusion. He made run for the unfortunate steed and bow on collision was almost a sure thing when the old horses fight ing blood got up, and instead of waiting to be rammed like fishing boat in fog he stood up on his hind legs and caught the bull moose a swat fair upon the nose with both fore feet.
 Both animals sat down suddenly to think the matter over, the moose from the surprise of the shock and the horse because he, lost his balance, and it would doubtless have gone hard with the latter, which was en- cumbered with the harness and rig ging, had not the young men set upon the forest king with yells just as he was about to resume the attack upon lis helpless adversary.

AUTO HELPS BUILD A CHURCH
Tcn-Horse Car Hosts 1850 Pound
Stones to Height Of Sixty-five Feet.

Boston.-It remained for Lewis =.
Dow. a Boston architect and builder,
TO demonstrate the usefulness of ten
horsepower automobile in helping to
build church.
Mr.. Dow was awarded the contract
FOR erecting a Methodist Episcopal
church at Medford. When the founda-
lien for the structure was completed
he contractor was on the point of
hiring hoisting engine, when he hap
pened to think of his automobile as a
substitute.
Mr.. Dow said to reporter: Il
the work, as II had never lacked any
thing before. The first thing l did
was to rig up tackle. / then expert
mented with small load, which prov
ed no work at all for the car. When
he success of the experiment was as
sured the machine was called upon to
hoist heavier loads, and it did every
thing asked of 1t in most satisfac-
tory manner.
1T was as easy as rolling off log
or the machine to hoist a loaded shale
box weighing 1900 pounds. For two
months the machine has worked stead
ly. raising this load from a. m to
;. p. lifting the weights from 40 to 30
feet.
The large stone ornaments at the
base of the tower of the church weigh
1850 pounds each. and they were
-aised and lowered into position at a
height of 65 feet. and were deposited
n their final resting place with the
assistance of three men. Mr.. Dow
-ound considerable pleasure and salts
faction with the work performed by
his machine.
When the days task was done the
machine was always ready for an eve
aing's pleasure trip. when four adults
and three children enjoyed many rides
through the suburbs.
