Being as we can't think of noth- ing better to write editorial about for this issue of the Bugle, we will therefore write on the subjeckt of Charity" which is a good deal better than writing on nothing al all.
 We will probably not be much disputed when we say that there is large number of residents of Bing- vile who don't know what the word charity means, and probably never will-they wouldn't know what it meant if they was to look it up in the dicshionary, which is impossi- ble, being as there ain't probably more than two dicshionaries in Bingville, one at the schoolhouse and tother at the Bugle office, to which we refer repeatedly and often in order to ascertain how certain words is spelled and the meaning of same. Charity consists of being charitable. Them as has charity is always long-suffering with their neighbors and are always ready to overlook faults in others and willing to suffer being imposed upon without losing their tempers, rolling lip their sleeves and want ing to fite. That's what charity is.
 It is said charity begins at home" but charity in Bingville don't begin at home by doggoned sight. It would be a good deal bet ter if it did. It would be a good i deal better if folks here in Bing- vile would stop considering the notes in their nabor's eyes and pay little attenshion to the gnats in their own eyes. It would be a good deal better if they didn't talk about each other behind each others backs, and always try to git the best of each other, whether it is in horse dicker or anything else.
 While charity is a good thing, enough CIarlty IS Su1lcient, ana 100 much is a-plenty. It is possible for person to have too much charity look at us as editor of the Bing- vile Bugle, for instants. Now we have got so much charity for peo- pie that we keep on sending them the Bugle year after year and they never give us a red cent in return for it, and probably never will. Perhaps we will get our reward in heaven, but if we could get a DOT shion of it here and now, it would enable us to pay off some of our obligashions, and probably enable us to buy square meal with what would be left over.

HE DEFENDS TIPPING.

Somehow | don't approve these
wholesale kicks on the tipping sys-
tenn" said a business man who is fair
ly prosperous. 81 was a waiter myself
once and know how 1t seems from the
other side.
"Oh. no, l wasn't a regular profess
sional, merely one of the college
brand. Many college men, of course,
help themselves through college by
working as walters and bellboys and
boatmen and other things at summer
resorts, and IL they are squeamish
about taking tips, why 1t isn't worth
while taking such jobs.
1T came hard at first to take tips,
gave me a sort of a feeling that I was
unclassing myself. But 1t wore off.
In fact there was a certain amount of
satisfaction, after awhile, in getting a
tip that had Seen earned by giving
more careful service than the job real
ly demanded. / remember now the
pleasure II gave m to receive q
gratuity and the thank you was al
ways meant.
$50 now when life lies in less ardu-
Gus places l find pleasure In giving a
tip. I do not regard it as an over
charge or an extortion, merely a little
reward that l can we'll afford to give
to one who will appreciate 1t.
IF nor persons would only look
on that side of the question, the pleas
ure that a gratuity gives the recipient,
/ am sure there would be less kick
ing. Surely there is JOY in kindness;
at least | have found it so"

Eli Golf.

The Fjian game OF tiga Is probably
as ancient as golf, which 1t somewhat
resembles. The brown warriors play
along the roadway, and the game con-
sists of long drives with a reed, m
end of which is set in a large brown
bean. Balancing a ~javelin nicely In
the hand. with the f%oreinger as the
driving power, they project 1t swiftly
at a mount on the road ahead, from
which it glances. falling 200 or 800
yards away. Thus they walk and play
for miles, vying with each other for
the longest drive. The Fijians keep
their eye on the mound" for 1t needs
some skill to strike the heap of stones
at the right spot on the reed so as to
ecure a long straight fight.

PLENTY Of Perooias.

There is a rage for pergolas. per-

AFRAID TO EAT.

II had suffered from indigestion

scarcely any food without great dis

II had eczema on my hands for
about seven years and during that
time I had used several ~so-called rem
edies. together with physicians and
druggists prescriptions. The disease
was 30 bad on my hands that l could
lay a slate-pencil in one OF the cracks
and a rule placed across the hand
would not touch the pencil. l kept
using remedy after remedy, and while
some gave partial relief, none relieved
as much as did the first box of Cuti-
cura Ointment. I made a purchase OF
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my
hands were perfectly cured after two
boxes Of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of Cuticura Soap were used. w.

MOOSE IN A MAINE TOWN..
Grazed on Lawn, Stroiied Through
Street and Took Morning Plunge.

Street and Took Morning Plunge.
A COW moose weighing about 700
pounds and resembling a good-natured
donkey made a tour of Bangor early
Sunday morning.
The moose was first disturbed about
4 o'clock while grazing on the lawn
of Patrick H. Gillin. at the corner of
Pine and Penobscot streets. A public
carriage man had carried a fare from
an early train and was driving down
Pine streets to Hancock when Patrol
man Dan Smith, who thought she was
a mule, shooed her down toward Elk
change street.
Reaching that ~populous thorough
fare she started up toward State
street, thinking to cross to the west
side and have a look at the library
lot. But rollicking citizens who came
from a restaurant drove her back UP
York street. She started down Pine
again and came down Hancock to q
point near Exchange street. Then
she went back to Pine street, down
Pine street to MISUNDERSTANDING
too like a shadow - to K~enduskeag
stream.
1t wa about half tide. but she
plunged from the end Of the wharf
and SWAN to q bar In midstream. For
fully half an hour she fooled around
in the water, being pursued by several
boats. and finally coming ashore at
the city landing at the foot Of Water
street. some kind-hearted citizen hav.
ing opened the gate at that point.
She ran through Water street and
Pickering Square to Haymarket,
lodged up Short street to Union, and
when last seen she was going seven
ty-sight miles an hour over Union
street hill
