 There are only twenry-four hours to the day-to the day and the night. And how few are left to that quiet time be- tween the light and the dark. Ours is . hurried twilight. We quit work to sleep; we wake up to work again. We measure the day by the clock; we measure the night by an alarm clock Life is all licked off. We are murdered by the second What we need is a day and a night with wider margins, a da VII that comes more slowly and a longer lingering twilight. Life has too little selvagS: it is too often raw and raveled Room and quiet and verge arewhat we want. not more dials for dine nor more figures for the dials We have things enough. too-more than enough. It is space for the things. perspective and the right measure for the things that we lack-a measure not one foot short of the distance between us and the stars.
 If we get anything out of the fields worth while it will be this measure. this largeness and quiet. It may be snly an owl or a tree toad that we go forth to see. but how much more we lind in things we cannot hear by day things long. long forgotten. things we never thought or dreamed before.
 The day is none too short. the night none too long. but all too narrow Is the edge between.-Dallas Lore Sharp in Aflanttc

West Haven Republicans
 Trimmed by Democrats

After one of the hottest elections yesterday in the history of the bor- ough of West Haven, the Republican citizens of that politically troubled bailiwick went to bed this morning the counting of the votes not being completed until a late hour. there be- ing such a phenomenal number of split tickets-with the assurance that the Republican party there had been very we'll trimmed by the Democratic and that although 1t had elected it's warden by a narrow majority it had lost it's borough clerk. The main fight there was over these two of ficers. Little interest was taken in the other candidates.
 John L. Sherman squeezed by with a small majority over Joseph w Grannis for warden. while Fred A. Russell beat out Miles J. Barnes for borough clerk.

I think. a brown hair chain. like an English one His teeth seemed regular. but not clean. He very seldom spoke. but when he did smiled In some sort agreeably.

ITCHING CURED
With Cuticura Remedies in Three Days After Six
 Months of Suffering.

"I suffered fully six months. The trouble began on my arms in little red pimples and it was not long before it was all over my body. limbs. face, and hands. It was so bad that could not rest night or day and during the six months. did not get good nights sleep. l doctOred for three or four months and spent at least twenty dol-- lars trying to find a cure but none could be found. Then 1 saw the Cuticura Remedies advertised, and the next day l purchased some for sevcnty-tive cents at the druggists. l used them and l was relieved of the itching in three days, and have never had sign of any skin disease since. The Cuticura Remedies are the only remedies to use for skin diseases, they have cured me and they will cure others in the same way. J. w. Bloom. R. R. Photographer, Holloway.

FUTURE OF THE NORTH

Now that the United States govern ment has become apprised of the fact that the greatest part of the unappro' prlated lands of the republic has been taken up by sellers. they will perhaps exercise little greater care in open. ing up land to entry. At the rate which has prevailed in the past. all of the fertile land would be appropri- ated within twenty-five years. Even of the acreage still remaining. large proportion of 1t is situated on noun tain tops and other inaccessible plac- rs
 It is rather gratifying to Alaskans to know that one-hat of the available land left in the United States is sit uated in the territory where they asYC made their homes, and l&'ge amount of it is covered with timber and if carefully numbered, it will b. converted into good agricultural land. The statement was made in the houS of congress that the valleys of the big riyers in Alaska are capable of supporting a population of three hund Ted thousand people engaged in agri- cultural pursuits. This may have been an exaggeration, but those who have penetrated the wilderness know that ln some places wild hay and native fruits and berries grow in wild profu- sion. It is natural to suppose that where wild plants will thrive, the cul- uyated varieties will do as well, if no better. Just at the present time al most everybody in Alaska Is engaged in searching for mineral, but perhaps the day will come when they will turn their attention from mining to farming.-Exchang.e
