DeceitfuI Appearances.

A remarkable experience once befell
Mark Twain in Australia, which, he
said, determined him never again to
judge by appearances. He had just
landed at an Australian port, and, to
his chagrin. there was no porter in
sight to carry his luggage. Seeing a
rough looking, badly dressed old fell
low leaning idly against a post with
his hands in his pockets, the author
beckoned to him and said:
"See here, if you'll carry these bags
up to the hotel I'll give you half
dollar"
The man scowled darkly, and, tax
ing three or four golden sovereigns
from his pocket, he deliberately threw
them into the sea, scowled at Mark
Twain again and walked away with
out a word.

more than probable that the outcome

But the news of her inheritance

the buds were swelling on the trees

with lettuce and peas and new laid

filed with a strong desire to go and
do likewise.
She resigned from the kindergarten
where she taught, and she induced her
dearest friend, Madge Carton, who
worked in a downtown Office, to do
likewise. Madge had been born on a

On the journey Cicely was dreamy
and pensive. Occasionally she wept a
little. She had never liked her aunt,
and she had fancied her dislike re-
turned with interest. Now she suf-

When after two days and nights of
travel they reached the farm she wept
again, tears of good, honest rage.

THE very best of pulp for paper
may be made of rice straw" writes a
Houston correspondent of the Gal
weston News The same thing has
been claimed many times of cotton
stalks, corn stalks and sugar-cane
pulp Repeatedly has the paper trust
had these facts thrown into its cor
porate face. Yet the trust goes
serenity along, holding up the consum-
ers of paper, and the publishers of the
country go on paying about twice
as much for print paper as it is worth,
and the spruce forests of the country
continue to disappear before the COM
binatiOn. while the rice straw stacks
are burned in the fields and the cot
ton and corn stalks are allowed to de-
cay or are hauled away as waste.
Now, if it be true that rice straw and
cotton and corn stalks will make
good paper. why under the canopy
of heaven don't we make paper
of them and check the mad career
of the paper trust, save the spruce
forests and help the publishers to
save half those exorbitant paper
bills?

The bad faith which has character
lied the action of some socalled demo-
cratic members of the senate in re-
gard to the tariff inspires some demo-
cratic papers to raise a cry for a new
party. A move TO reform and reor-
ganize the cid democratic party
would be more in order. A new party
would be a temptation to incorporate
too many ''isms" in its creed. Sup
porters of any ''isms' that might be
rejected naturally would refuse al
Iegiance to the new creation, and
probably would go away and try to
organize another new party. The
principles lying at the bottom of the
democratic party are as old as our
government. They played an i'm
portant part in the building of the
government. They should be eter-
nal, and if the democrats be true to
these principles they are bound to
win and keep the confidence of the
people. The country needs men who

The Rev. Asher Anderson will oceu-

Nearly two years ago an organization
styled "The Choir Guild of Southern
Worcester and Windham Counties, "
was effected, the object being 10 stimu-
late an interest in a feverent and dig
nitied class of music. Last Friday eve-
ming the first of the second series of
concerts by the Guild was held in the
church. While the audience, on ac-
count of the inclemeney of the weather,
have been, II was an appfeeiative one.
The difficult music was excellently
rendered and reflected great credit up
ON those who had the matter in charge.
The clergy taking part in the service
were Rev. j +. Marvin of Oxford, Rev.
r. T. Pomeroy of Webster, and Rev. j.
r.. Stubbert of the Baptist church.
The address of Mr.. Marvin laid special
stress upon the importance OF hymns
in church worship. Such services as
this cannot fail 10 arouse and deepen
an interest in religious music OF the
highest order. Following the service

Certainly this trade condition
should be reversed, and our country
should supply the bulk of the cotton
goods consumed in South America,
instead of England getting the most
of this trade. But would substituting
fast steamships get this trade? Cot
ton goods as rule are carried in
tramp steamers and sailing vessels,
neither of which are to be sub
sidized; and simply because the gov
eminent paid each American mail
steamer sailing to South American
ports bounty for each ship sailed
this would not sell our goods in those
markets. The trade must be got by
selling the best goods for the least
money, and whenever our manufac-
turers are in position to do this,
and bring this fact properly to the
attention of foreign customers, they
will sell their goods. And when they
do, the goods will go in unsubsidized
ships, whether these ships fly our
flag or some other.
A ship subsidy is monstrous evil.
Just like the protective tariff, it
taxes the people as whole to en-
rich a few favored ship owners, who
under the stimulus of a subsidy
would speedily organize themselves
into a shipping trust 1t is worse
than the protective tariff because it
is not revenue measure. 1t would
bring no money into the national
treasury; it would only take money
out, money collected from the people
and given to a few favored individ-
