Have you been asked II this ID cold
enough for your II IL isn't, or hasn't
been, you are extremely hard to suit in
Q weather-wsy. Some say that they
never experienced such GOODNESS. O,
yes, they have, scores Of times, IL they
are old enough. The fact 10 that such
spasms hustle away to the limbo Of for
gotten, or but dimly remembered, things.
When you are sweating In the shade
next Fourth Of July, 40 below will have
been pretty much rubbed out Of your
memory, or II you think of 1t at al It will
be with Q wish that you had relic OF 40
below to put into your lemonade.
When feeling of loneliness steals
over you and . cloud of gloom over
shadows you, and the wind is bowling
about your dwelling like . pack OF
wolves, and the cold 10 seeking an en-
trance through every crack and crevice,
try the effect of en- open fire on the
hearth; the loneliness and gloom will
straightway mingle with the flames and
20 fuking up the flue. We know, for
we have tried 1t. And II the old stove
be heated seven times hotter than 1t was
wont to be heated-like the furnace that
was prepared for three worthies-why,
there you are In Florida climate within
four square walls, and you listen In
fancy to the babble of brooks, the song
of birds; and the pungent fragrance OF
the evergreen woods In the land OF your
lost youth comes to you. and the fires
are relighted on q thousand hearthstones,
fires that long ago went out In darkness
at the advent Of the airtight-air-killer,
bringing catarrh and kindred ills In its
train. o, there Is nothing that will dis
pei gloom and awaken memories like an
open fire.
As to your query, Dickvale. The fit-
test survive. Not 30 many toe-nails Is
the heart could wish or tho law permits.
We furnished them with step-mother
in the shape of . broody hen. On
dark, cold night We slipped her in beside
the mother and her young, and when she
heard their infantile voices she began
grooming q crsdle-song, mother-like, and
since then she seems to have the settled
conviction that she Is responsible for the
hatch. We are established in the belief
that she would divide her last crust with
the chickens of her adoption. Nice hen.
And both mothers dwell together in
unity of purpose. The result of educa-
ton. We raised them.
The ladies of the Baptist church hold
fair Friday evening. Supper, enter

knows how.
We note that Dyer of Buckfield is a
pusher among the lawmakers. He's
we'll equipped for the work in hand. He
is no waster of words-talks to the point
and stops when he gets there. That's
right. An overdose OF words produces
drowsiness and oftentimes defeats the
end sought. Are you sleepy? Then we
should have dropped the final period
back along. JOHN.

The second Saturday Of this month

was in fighting order.
At IL 80 l made my appearance at the
hall In the midst of . snow storm. But
what cared I, for have heard 80 much
about the weather am about disguised
at the thoughts of 1t. We had beans AND
other things In abundance, and every
thing was cooked in good shape.
The next question that came into my
head was how I was to get out of the
hall with all that load on my stomach
but got out somehow, and attended
court at Lawyer Dyer's Office In thu
afternoon. The case was that OF two
French women who could not agree. 81
one pounded the other with hoe. The
case was tried before Judge Parsons
Dyer for state, Brigham for defendant
Judge Parsons fined the w0man's hus

average ability, and his services were in
demand.
He married, June II, 1S41, Harriet
Warren, and they settled on Paris Hill
but two or three years later went to the
Warren homestead to care for Mrs
Ripley's parents, where they have evel
since lived. Mrs. Ripley survives him,
after married life of more than sixty
five years. To them were born eleven
children, of whom two sons and two
daughters survive-G. K. Ripley o.

NO TINE TO VENT PERSONAL SPITE

When any danger threatens community real forget
their past differences and work together for the good
Times Of danger try out men IL is then that the brave
man is distinguished Il is then that the
Of rises above all personal considerations and
the who lacks character betrays his cabre by failing 10
rise 20 the occasion.
These facts arc pertinent when considering the attitude Of
the Seattle Times toward the health authorities at the
present Time when bubonc plague threatens obtain foot
hold The people Of the city generally have approved the eff
forts Of the health authorities prevent the spread OF
the disease and have offered their active cooperation
Even the Chinese and Japanese to whom, to any
one the authorities would look for opposition their
efforts have maniu forward 60 give their aid in the
work
Il has remained for American newspaper editor prove
the exception the rule OF manly action and throw his alleged
influence against the efforts OF the health authorities 10 guard
public health aud safety
Those who have lived in Seattle long do not waste time
wondering OF the personal organs under
the control OF this individual Their time valuable But
arrivals in Seattle the policy Of the sensational organs
be incomprehcnsble II them alone that
sary explain the personal anmus which leads these
organs under management bete and rcv the efforts
OF the health authorities cope with the greatest disease
danger which has threatened Seattle in recent years
The reorganization OF the board Of health was
effort of these organs dscre, the present city
administration They pounded the health board breach
OF good faith with the mayor which was promptly
met with reorganization OF the health board which
eliminated those members responsible for the breach
u sVd @ l"e mayor came OUT victorious IN the encounter
which enragcd the director OF these personal organs
has since vented his spleen the members OF board
regardless OF their qualifications for the service
Undoubtedly it Is grinding the enemies OF the adj
mnis'Taon that Mayor Moore picked Of the members
OF the board physician who had years experience
in the dealing with bubone plague in
Manila The selection opportune the people and
the people have the right expect that soured and dis
gruntled director OF the desnes OF sensational newspapers
would forget personalities the public danger and shape
his course IN line with the common good.
But some men are SO small that they larger than
whole public in their estimation.
II IS their misfortune The public understands and
oerates them because there remedy in aw for such
ceit
They classed among the harmless offenders harmless
because their colossal cEosm destroys what influence
they might otherwise WELD in the community.
So Il bchooyes the public give an possible aid 10 the
heah officials who negccng private practice and work
ing night and day the spread disease paving no
need 70 surrng whines OF being small that he considers
