not attempt it. The head and front
OF our offending consisted simply in
stating the fact that Bryan's banks
have on deposit about four times as
much money as Hearne's. Why the
News should butt in we do not know.
There is no double entendre" in the
sneer at Bryan. however. This is the
second recent instance of the News

called the attention of its readers.

Since it is generally admitted that
legislative excursions are not bad
thing within certain limits, why not
systematic them so a" to secure the
best possible results? Let each house
upon organization appoint a commit
tee on excursions with authority TO
arrange a program for the session. A
special train could be chartered FOR
the term and kept in readiness. which,
in order to avoid the suspicion ol
railroad influence, should be provided
at the expense of the State. Only
members and employees of the two
houses should be admitted, all dead
heads being cut out to save expense
but more especially to guard the I'M
wary and unsophisticated legislator
from the wiles of the seductively gay
and wickedly cunning lobbyist. The
more we think about it the more we
see the impossibility of condensing
into a paragraph all the advantages
of this plan.

There is no serious j, lection to the
Legislators. en- masse, visiting differ

are good reasons for believing that
the time spent in such jaunts is bet
ter employed than the average of that

TO relieve the members of local pref
udices and to broaden their views. 1t
would be well if they could be extern

especially those parts about which
the average member knows very little,
such as the Panhandle and the Trans

THE r, T, G. ENlEHTAlNS,
 The P, T. C. held q Halloween party at the home of it's president, Miss Laura Nichols, on Wednesday evening, the 27th. The rooms were all gally decorated with hobgoblins, black cats and witches. The re- ception hall was prettily decorated with bitter sweet, autumn leaves and bunting, and in corner of the hall stood a scarecr0w which had numerous pockets containing for tunes for all. Numerous Halloween games were played throughout the evening, causing much merriment and amusement to those present. At the midnight hour all were in- yited into the dining room where a long table was bountifully spread with dainties suitable for Hallow- cen. The table was prettily decor ated having strings of butterflies joined to the chandelier and ends of the table. In the center large black cat swayed to and fro. Pump kins were used as servers and lights. A large pumpkin which was the cen ter of attraction held numerous rib bons, one to each plate and at giv- en signal all were told to pull their ribbon, and they all found a gift and a fortune attached to the end, which delighted all. After supper was over they all gathered around the fire place and ended the evening with ghost stories. Much credit is due the members Of the P. T. c. for enter- taining their friends so royalty, and we wish the club much success.

H0WRs MOVING PICTURES TWO
 BIG AMERICAN IhlUMPHs.

H0WEs MOVING PICTUREs.--TWo
 BIG AMERICAN ThluMPHs.
 What you have read concerning the dash for the North Pole may have impressed you, but if you want to be thrilled see Lyman H. Howe's stir ring scenes of the dramatic dlscoy- cry. The whole historic story will
 be told in graphic pictures at the Town hall, New Milford, on Thurs day evening, November 4. They show the frozen regions of the Arctic which have spelled disaster, despair and death for 300 years, and how the grim fight was finally won, what hardships were undergone, what risks were run, and why the polar prize fell to America. Another great American triumph is shown of Glenn II. Curtiss winning the Gordon-Ben- nett cup at the aeroplane races in France. The wonderful flight would have been regarded as impossible even one short year ago. For man to soar through the air like a bird and at express train speed was yes terdays dream. It has become to- days reality. That much is clearly shown in MT Howe's reproduction. It also shows the flights and ma chimes of all the competitors-some- times six in the air at once, now high up until man and machine are a mere speck in the sky, and again along the earth like a swallow, yet always under control and rising and descending at will. Big guns in action, Algeria, Canada, and 20 other big features compose the most notable program MT Howe | has ever presented.

WILL CARLETON TO APPEAR IN
 TOWN.

Will Carleton is to appear at the Town hall, November 8, under the auspices of the Epworth League of the Methodist church. The idea is not to make money but to give the community an entertainment of high order. The aomission will be 35c. Will Carleton is at present the only author of national reputation who is. at present reciting his own poems and sketches acceptably upon the platform. Since he started out in that role, immediately after leaving college (and, to a considerable ex- tent, before), he has had many imi- tators; but none of them has been able to keep the pace," and he is today without rival. He has read again and again, to large and en- thusiastic audiences all over the united States and Europe, and is still in the prime of his powers. "I thought I knew the strength and beauty of Will Carletons writings till I heard him." has often been said: but listening to his interpre- tations of his own works was reve- lation." His recitations are framed in prose monologue, itself full of entertainment and instruction, and the nearer leaves him feeling that he has learned as well as enjoyed. The subjects under which he groups his recitations are"The Drama of Human Nature," "The Chain of Suc- cess," and Character Sketches" " Committees have their choice. Will Carleton is not only one of the most famous authors living, but one of the most noted orators and reciters. In the interpretation of his own poems and sketches, he stands with out rival; and the late Dr Talmage justly styled him as "the greatest re- citer of his own works in the world" His repertoire is selected from his own ten books of poetry, poetical prose and from some not yet pub lished; and his audiences say that they never knew he power of his literary work until they heard the author himself interpret it.

tender. gentle radiance. The colors OF

when the bright northern sky at mid.
night projects faint, ghostlike shadows
toward the south. The sun just dips
below the horizon and no more. There
Is no division between the sunset and
the dawn. The same rosy flush serves
for both.
Summer In Finland is, in fact, one
long day. Never a star is to be seen,
and when the first faint star gllmmers
in the south It is sign that the sum
mer is past and that the autumn frosts
have arrived.
The long light has marvellous effect
upon vegetation, forcing its growth at
dollhouse pace. The "white nights" ac-
count both for the suddenness of the
burgeoning and for the intensity OF
the heat. Land and water have no
time to cool. One cannot fall to be
struck with the enormous size OF the
foliage upon the oak and hawthorn
trees as compared TO that to which we
are accustomed. Botanists have ex.
plained this as being due to the larger
supply OF light. 1t has sometimes been
suggested that we may hasten the har.
vests by the use OF artificial lights.

There is vast district In France

The Inhabitants, who are among the

agriculture as is possible and by keep.
ing cows and sheep. The shepherds
make use OF their stills for two pur-
poses-first. because walking is quite
Impossible on account of the sage and
underground Of brush. and. second,
because the height of their stilts gives
them a greater range OF vision.
The stilts generally are about six or
seven feet high. Near the top there is
II support for the foot, which has a
strong stirrup and strap, and still
nearer the top a band of leather fas.
tens the silt firmly to the leg just be-
low the knee. Some stilts, especially
those made for fancy walking and for
tricks, are even higher than seven
feet, and the man who uses these
and he must be an expert-can travel
as fast as ten miles an hour. The
lower end OF this kind Of silt is
capped with a sheep bone to prevent
Its splitting.
Some OF these Landes shepherds are
wonderfully clever in the management
Of their stills. They run races, step
or jump over brooks. clear fences and
walls and are able to keep their bal
ance and equilibrium while STOPPING
TO the ground to pick up pebbles or to
gather wild flowers. They fall prone
upon their faces and assume their
