WANTED ONLY MONEYS WORTH.
Example of the Workings of the "New
England Conscience"


woman who has spent many sum-
mers at Haines' Falls in the Catskills
tells the following story:
"A mountain wagon full of summer
excursionists stopped at the hotel one
morning. They wanted to see the falls
turned on In order to assure good
flow of water there is sort of lock
built above the falls. The lock is al
ways kept closed except, when some
body makes application to see the
falls; then, on payment of a quarter.
the gates are thrown open and a fine.
flow of water pours FORTH The old man
who had charge of the falls went out
and opened the gates; the visitors
were delighted, paid their quarter and
drove away. About half an hour later
another wagonload drove up to the
hotel and asked to see the falls. Again
the old man went out and opened the
gates; but owing to the previous drain
on the water supply the result was far
from satisfactory, and the spectators
were not enthusiastic. The old man
noticed the dissatisfaction of the visit
ors, and was. perhaps, somewhat con-
science stricken, for. when he was Of
fered a quarter to pay for opening the
gates, he hesitated moment, then
said:
No, it want worth that much. 1
think there was just bout IL cents
worth that time"

Last Saturday night Estow 10

tow overcome by stage fright,
sank down in a snow drift up to

Monday, the 18th of January
1909, the state officers were in
augurated which no doubt causes
an exurbance of spirit and hap
pineSs to an unlimited extent.
But on the 18th day of January,
1909, took place ceremony far
greater in the eyes OF two people
when Dr. Pagan and Miss Cora
Stull of Brownell were united in
marriage AS perhaps some of
the readers will remember that
day was one of the most disa-
greeable days of the current
year, yet the doctor remarked
as he was passing cigars around
in exchange for congratulations
that it was a very beautiful
day." which proves that it is not
agreeable weather nor great
riches that makes the heart feel
glad nor the eyes see clear, but
the earnest love of a true woman
which the doctor is extremely
fortunate in winning, has caused
him to rejoice greatly and to be
therecipiento of scores of congratu-
lations. May they have a long,
happy and prosperous life. Let
the good work go on.

The treasurer of a certain company
said to me the other day: Ten years
ago it was nothing for prima donna
to receive in a single night $4,000 or
So, 900 worth of flowers. If one of the
best gets $500 worth after a great per-

cHILD,s CONFIDENCE IN DADDY.
Wanted Papa to Emulate the Historic
Act of Moses.

The Sunday school lesson that day.
had been about Moses leading the
children of Israel through the wilder
ness to the Promised Land, and little
Bobby had been particularly impressed
by the incident of the prophet strik-
ing the rock with his staff and causing
the water to gush forth. After Sun
day school he took a walk with his
father, and could talk of nothing else.
Now, Bobby has an overwhelming
respect for his fathers prowess, which
was not even overshadowed by the re-
markable achievement of Moses. He
was thoroughly imbued with the idea
that there wasn't a thing in the world
his father couldn't do if that thing
were at all possible of accomplish
ment So when they came to a pile
of large powders, with the Sunday
school lesson still uppermost in his
mind he rather startled his father by
exclaiming:
Say, pop, hit a rock I want
drink"

.SOBRIETY ON
THE INCREASE
No Longer Fashionable to Get Drunk
So Society Takes Arms Against
Saloons
WHEN l AM FULL
SEND ME- HOME

Street Address
No longer is it necessary for the
convivial soul to carry such a card
around with him on his New Years
calls, says Eugene Wood in Munsey's
Magazine for November.
In discussing the growth of the pro-
hibition sentiment, he says:
Passing a law forbidding the sale
of liquor is the formal expression of
the profound conviction of the people
that getting drunk is low-down piece
of business. AS such, it is officially
put in the same class with chicken
thieying. That part of the communi-
ty which has self-respect, which wants
to be somebody, which wants to make
this better and better world to live
in-the greater part of the commun-
ity just now-says authoritatively to
the antisocial element that still
sticks to the mud in spite of civiliz-
ing influences.
eff you must get drunk, get drunk,
and joy go with you. But hereafter
you'll have to do it on the sly, like
any other deviltry.
"The nub of this whole movement,
it seems to me, is not that it prevents
the old soaks from getting enough
liquor to enable them to come home
, and beat their wives and turn sick
, children out into the storm. 1t is
} not even that it tends to remove
temptation from before the boys
and yet l wouldn't minimize that
gracious act by a hairs weight. Tha
, is mighty sufficient thing. 1t show.

Neatly Tied Shoes,

Nothing is more untidy nor more
troublesome than shoe laces that slip
and become united. This can so cas-
lily be prevented that it is the more
inexcusable. If a lace has one loop
pulled through the bow that is tied in
the usual way and is then given a
firm pull it will rarely become I'M
done. If ordinary mohair laces or
even silk ones are slightly waxed they
stay tied much longer. Should the
metal end come off either shoe or
corset lace it can be pulled through a
hole quite easily by waxing ends to a
| point.
