"Mr. pooley, on Hard Times.

ssMr Dooley" who is writing exclusive ly for The American Magazine, is in the February number with wonder of an ar ticIe on Hard Times" The cartoons are by McCutcheon of Chicago.
 Lord Macaulay says that the highest miracle of genius is to make the imag- things Of one mind become the personal recollections of another. In the follow ing passage, which precedes description of the sufferings of the rich and an inter view with a millionaire. MT. Doo1ey' cer- tainly accomplishes this feat. It takes us back to other panics, and shows how we all pulled through

Danger From Flood.

Pittsburg, February 19.-Following a warning issued yesterday by the local United States weather bureau, river men, business houses and persons residing in the lowIands about Greater Pittsburg, are today moving all perishable goods to places of safety. Owing to the present high temperature and threatening heavy rains, the snow and ice in the waters of the Allegheny and Youghiofheny rivers may melt and cause flood. All the small streams are rising slowly to- day. and in many places the water is be- yond its banks. It is expected that rivers here will reach the danger point by even- ing

Southerners Will Be Entertained By

Cincinnati, O., February 13.-"The city of Cincinnati will in the early future en- certain 100000 southerners' was the an- nouncement made today by President Thomas P. Egan of the chamber of 1onl- merce on his return from a trip through the south. Mir Eagan said:
 Ut was while in New Orleans few days ago that the members of the Pro- gressive Union there asked me why Gin cinnati did not Invite the southerners. They would be glad to visit our city, which is the great gateway to the south and contains some of the largest manu- featuring plants in the world
 MT Egan will at once confer with prominent citizens to formulate a plan for carrying out the scheme.

Edward A. Mcdowell.


 From the Kansas City Star.
 Those who cherish tho best things in music, and especially those who give fos- tering encouragement to it's composition, will hold in loving remembrance the life and the compositions of Edward Alexan- der Mcdowell, who died in New York after long and Iitiful illness. This con- poser will take higher rank after death than he did in life, thus Illustrating the irony that must be faced by most geniuses of the artistic fieid The way of the world in its attitude toward it's best idealists was even manifested before death in the case of MT. Mcdowell, for his prolonged illness brought about wider publicity and a broader appreciation of his music than he was ever permitted to enjoy when he had the capacity to under-. stand and profit by the recognition of the public.
 Mir Mcdowell was easily the foremost American composer of piano music. He wrote some fine things for the orchestra, but most of them were somewhat sketchy, and in big. formal productions he was surpassed by Chadwick But in all he wrote, and especially in his piano num- bers, he was distinctively poetic, often beautifully romantic. He had the faculty of expanding a single poetic idea in fit- ting tone variations. He was especially fond of Heine, and he illustrated E num- Der of the German poets fancies. He also wrote bits of beautiful verse and illustrated them. He was especially faithful to the idea of the union of the arts Most of his compositions have the thoughts on which they are based ex- pressed somewhere in the title, and not infrequently the covers of his publications were artistically and appropriately illus trated
 MT. Mcdowell was very modest He almost summed the public. His aversion to personal publicity almost barred him from the concert stage Yet he was the most charming of men to those who came in contact with him. He inspired both admiration and affection among his pupils and others who were privileged to know him.

 The effect of the introduction of electric power in the southern cotton mills has been to greatly increase the number of mills as well as the number of spindles. The capital now invested in cotton mills in the south is estimated at s250, ,000,o0o, an increase since 1880 of $229 ,0OO,0 ,00 or 1090 per cent.

DEATH WAS ON HIS HEELS.

Jesse P. Morris, of Shippers, Va, had a close call in the spring of 1906
 He says: "An attack of pneumonia left me so weak and with a fearful cough that my friends declared con- sumption had me, and death was on my heels. Then l was persuaded to try Dr Kings New Discovery. It helped me immediately and after taking two and a half bottles was a well man again. I found out that New Discovery is the best remedy for coughs, and lung disease in all the world. "Guaran- teed by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown

FROM WALTER DALEY
WHO IS A TRUE oPTIMIsT.
Paterson. N. l.. March 18th. 1.

Paterson, N. J., March 18th, 1908.
 Editor Smith, Newtown Bee.
 Dear Sir: It seems that there must be a break up in the winter and that we are going to have an early spring as have found one of your Bees in Sloatsburg, Rockland County, N. r., on March IS, and then again met the same Bee in Paterson, N. J., at noon on Thursday, the 18th, and as the sun is shining bright and warm he may be found in several other places before this goes to press if the weather keeps warm.
 Now what l want to impress on the peoples mind is this: That there is a good deal of what we read in the pa pers that is exaggerated. And still l will admit. that two-third of it is true as far as labor is concerned. To deal with the financial condition of this country and its causes, and the strin- gency of money at present would be preposterous for me to undertake. But l certainly will say that things are not as bad as they are represented to be. Your correspondent interviewed some of the leading manufacturers in New York and Paterson, N. J., and from all 1 can learn from them there is going to be big revival in business and it is all ready started. One factory l was in had two weeks ago 75 men at work and last evening the number on pay roll was 953, and they expect, this one firm told me. that orders were to con- tinue coming in as they have for the past few days, they would have to ir- crease their force of men by next Monday morning to 1000. l find the same information in several other es- tablishments. As one manager of a big concern in Paterson informed me, that if the business men in the East had more confidence in one another and meddled less in politics. that business would be booming long before now and there would not be so many idle men in the Eastern states as there are at present. He hopes to see by April, 1 every man that is willing to work at work on a fair raise of wages.
 I mention the above facts to show that some of the people will growl about hard times any way and at any season of the year. While there is cer- tainly cause at present for a good many to grumble at the condition of things this winter, still it does not help matters to improve by having a poor word. The only remedy see now is to Try and be cheerful in all our distress. And bear our poor luck like man. If we can't have our way as to feeding
 or dress,
 We must still do the best that we can.
 1 think l had better bring this letter to close, before 1 get it into prose. In my next I will try and inform my readers of The Bee how the farmer of Connecticut can be benefited by organ ization. INV. Daley.

What a good sluice will do for road is shown on Queen street. Last fall selectman Peck put in a large sluice across the road near the watering trough opposite the Otis place. As a result the water along Queen street had chance to work off, and Queen street, usually impossible in the spring time, has been in fair condition all the time. It would be money we'll expended if the selectmen would expend $500 year in reopening clogged sluiceways and in building new ones where needed.

The boys have been recommending to the popular and genial selectman of Middle district the purchase of strengthening plasters, for the memory in this instance. It appears that MT Peck went up street to attend the Brew trial, driving one of his horses and hitching it under the church shed. He remained through the trial and went down to MT Morris store, where he met Neighbor Prindle. The latter in- vited MT Peck to ride home with him, which he did. When he arrived in his own yard, Mir Peck's hired man asked him where the milk cans were, and then it flashed upon him that his horse was up street. MT Prindle carried him back up street, where he found the horse safe and sound. The joke got round bit and MT Peck was kept busy at the telephone, Saturday evening.
