If woman has a man to boss lei
her do it or there will be trouble.
After a woman has been married sly
months the tradesmen don't hear 81
much about what her husband likes tt
eat.
There are a good many ways of set
Ting questions, but it isn't recorded
that a debate is ever a successful
method.
Women say as mean things Of the
men as they can think of in public, bu
in public men are always compliment
ing the women.
Every girl imagines that had she
lived in the days when knights were
bold and bad, she would have beer
stolen pretty frequently.
One of the most tragic things about
today is that some day you will lool
back and realize that you We're seeing
your happiest days, and here you dom
know it.
The people should have more respect
for their enemies. If 10 things happier
in the course of a day to hurt a mar
not more than one was caused by ar
enemy.
The fight for universal justice will
not be completely won until the mule
mule is the greatest worker in thu
animal kingdom, but all it gets credi
for is stubbornness and kicking.

The Wiseasset Railroad.

The idea Of changing the narrow
gauge road from Winslow to Wis
casset into a standard gauge and con-
Meeting it with the Maine Central, or
converting it into an electric road IS
again under discussion. There are
said to be several water powers that
could be utilized for the production OF
electric power in case it should be de-
cided to convert the road into a trolley
line. There have been rumors that
the Graham syndicate had purchase
the entire system, but the Journal is
advised from a reliable source that
there is nothing in these reports. 1t
would certainly be to the great good
fortune of the territory served by this
road if it should fall into the hands of
such hustling body of business men,
The Journal has never seen any
promising way of making this road a
success excepting by changing the
gauge and running it across the river
into Waterville. If this were done
there is reason to believe that it could
be swung onto the profit side of the
ledger
OF course if this road were to be
sold to the Graham Syndicate, and
converted into trolley line, to be
used both for passenger and freight
business. the connection between it
and the present trolly system would,
doubtless be made at Winslow which
would be an obvious advantage from
the standpoint Of expense.
