$4,000 and he viii make another
move and enter new class; and he
is naturally more or less affected by
the opinion OF the class with which
he associates. Public opinion Is a
potent influence even with judge.
Dooley says that whether the consti-
tuition follows the flag or not Is a
disputed question, but that there Is
no doubt that the supreme court fol-
lows the election returns Not only
does the result of an election uncon-
sciously influence the mind of judges
but the conversation which he is in
the habit of hearing and the opinions
that are expressed in his presence,
imperceptibly mould his thought. If

large salaries, and he is shut off
from contact with those who strug-
that he should not feel their influ-

company he keeps is an old saying;
it is no less true that his opinions
are materially affected by the COM
pany he keeps.
An increase in the salaries of the
judges will not only determine the
social environment of the judges,
but it will contract the circle from
which judges may be selected When
the president looks about for a man
for the United States court, he nat
urally looks for one who enjoys an
income substantially equal to the
salary which the appointee is to re-
ceive, and the larger the judicial
salary, the greater the certainty that
the judge Will be- selected from
among those who have distinguished
themselves as the representatives Of
corporations, for those, as a rule are
the lawyers who enjoy the largest in

Then, too, the action of the fed
eral government sets an example for
the state governments, and as soon
as the salaries of federal judges are
increased, movement is started to
raise the salaries of state judges.
Thus larger and larger per cent
of the practicing attorneys are ex-
cluded from consideration and these,
too, are the very attorneys whose
practice brings them into close touch
with the general public.

Progress, steam shovel progress,
derives its speed from the outside
dollar. Get this call from over
hustling Haskell way-a call sent
out by the esteemed Free Press:
Haskell needs capitalists to develop
her resources. We know of no COM
munity where capitalists could make
safer loans" In other words, money
working overtime will increase the
speed of development in the Has
kell county. And this is true of not
only new territory but what is pop
ularly supposed to be developed ter
ritory. New railroad mileage, new
industries, production commensurate
with soil possibilities, busy box cars,
and big tin bucket brigades.

Schools closed last Friday. The speak
ing exercises OF the primary grade were
held the Friday preceding, that the exer-
cises might not interfere with the treat
prepared for the pupils by their teacher on
the closing day. Several visitors were
present and enjoyed the efforts of the lit
tie folks. Miss Beatrice Carroll has had
fine success, and is loved by all her pupils.
Among the Thanksgiving reunions, one
of the most enjoyable was at the home of
George Gilley, whose sons and daughters,
with the exception OF Philip, and the re-
spective families helped to eat the big tur-
key and many other good things prepared
by Mrs. Gilley. Flora has returned to
her telephone work in Portland, but Re-
becca will be at home till the new year,
when she will again join her sister in the
telephone exchange.

the women of this vicinity. The first

serving an appetizing lunch. The second
of the bees was at the home Of Mrs. Julia
Gilley, whose hospitality and success in
entertaining friends are well known. The
third party Of busy bees was invited to the
home Of Mrs. Frank Gilley for the benefit
OF Mrs. Fannie Herrick, whose numerous
family requires many stitches. A pleasant
evening was spent with Mrs. Gilley and
many garments finished for the little folks.

They Clog the Pores Only Liquid Can
Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old fashioned theory of cur
ing eczema through the blood has been
given up by scientists, many different salves
have been tried for skin diseases. But it
has been found that these salves only clog
the pores and can not penetrate to the
inner skin below the epidermis, where the
eczema germs are lodged.
Thistle quality Of penetrating prob
ably explains the tremendous success Of
the only standard liquid eczema cure, oil
Of wintergreen as compounded in d. D. D.
Prescription. After ten years Of cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin specialists
have accepted this as the true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to recon-
mend d. D. D. Prescription at $1.00 bot
tie, but for the benefit Of those who have
never tried the prescription, we arranged
with d. d. D. Laboratories OF Chicago for
q special large trial bottle at rs cents on a
special offer now. This first bottle ought
to convince every sufferer, and, at any
rate, it will surely take away the itch at
once. E. e. MOORE, Ellsworth, Me.

Birds, Muscular Power.

Birds are possessed Of enormous
muscular power, far exceeding in some
cases that Of any other warm blooded
creature. There is an instance on rec
ord of an eagle weighing no more than
fourteen pounds lifting and carrying
on a young pig which weighed no less
than forty-two pounds. How many
men could even stagger along the
ground carrying three times their own
weight in their hands? The kick Of
an ostrich is a fearsome thing It
will break a mans thigh or even the
leg Of a horse Exchange.

other for governor, and when q long
series OF joint debates had reached It's
close Johnson addressed the Wings 10

boosted eagle orator from the Missis-
sippl river to the Unaka mountains,

Quaint Market Custom.

There exists at Totnes market a Gus.
tom which is believed to be without
parallel In the history Of markets. A
dealer chalks up the price he gives for
butter and eggs on a stall, and all the
other dealers pay the same. This sys.
TEN has gone on, and surprisingly little
friction has resulted. Some time ago
an attempt was made to break down
the custom and induce producers to
stand in the market and make the best
price they could. 1t was, however,
short lived, and the old system was re-
verted to.-St. James Gazette.
