EDITORIAL COMMENT.
POindexter and Goodyear.

1t is evident from the preliminary
exchange of compliments between
Judge Miles Poindexter, the republi-
can nominee for congress from the
Third district, and William Goodyear,
his democratic opponent, that the dis
trict is to witness a campaign for the
office between these gentlemen which
promises to be free from disagreed
BILE personalities. In this the peo-
pie of the district have cause for con-
graduation. Both candidates are men
of high personal character and clean
public life. Judge Poindexter pos
sesses a double advantage in the
contest in that he is the candidate of
the majority in the district and the
majority party in congress. Wash
ington being republican state. it is
but natural that majority of her
citizens should prefer to be represent
ed at Washington by republican men,
bers of congress. But, regardless of
this circumstance, the voters of the
Third district may listen with inter-
est and profit to discussion of party
issues between men of such ability as
Judge Poindexter and Mr.. Goodyear.

the secret is-er, that is, if Muriel
wants you to guess-why, can't say
anything about it,
The next man Harriet asked was
Howard Herman.
NO." replied Howard, I'm not the

BY the end of the day Harriet had
questioned Charles Terry, Howard
Herman, Arthur Gaylor and a num-
Der of other men. Then in triumph
she went to Muriel

your maid of honor
Why" gasped Muriel, "have you
guessed the man.
Yes; it's Arthur Gaylor."
How did you find it out?" she
cried. Arthur and I were positive
that it would be days before anyone
would find it out
Easy enough" Harriet replied.

AMONG THE POETS.

THE GIRL WHO SMILES.
The wind was east and the chimney
smoked,
And the old brown house seemed
dreary,
For nobody smiled and nobody joked
The young folks grumbled, the old
folks croaked;
They had come home chilled and
weary.
Then opened the door, and a airl
came in;
Oh, she was homely-very!
Her nose was pug and her cheek
was thin
There wasn't dimple from brow to
But her smile was bright AMI
CHEEKY.
She spoke not word Of the cold Or
damp,
Nor yet of the gloom about hei.
But she mended the fire and lighted
the lamp,
And she put on the place a different
stamp
From that it had without her.
They forgot that the house was a
dull old place,
And smoky from base to rafter,
And gloom departed from every face,
AS they felt the charm of her mirth-
full grace
And the cheer of her happy laugh
Oh, give me the girl wig will smile
and sing,
And make all glad togeth ar'
To be plain or fair is lesser thing,
But kind, unselfish heart can bring
G"cd cheer IN the darx st Weather.

Low Water in New
England Streams

Engineers of the United States
Geological Survey report extreme
low water conditions in many
streams of New York and New
England during September and
October. The Connecticut River,
in particular, reached the lowest
stage ever recorded and continued
at this stage for the greater part OF
two months.
All of the rivers Of Main have
shown the effect of the drought,
although it has not been nearly as
severe in this State as in other
parts of the New England district.
In New York State the conditions
have been very abnormal, and it is
probable that the low water records
obtained during the lasttwo months
represent the lowest stage for many
years.
