Prevention Better Than Cure.

Preventive measures are always
more practical than remedies, whether
it be in fighting crop and fruit pests
or diseases which assault the herds
and flocks. In fighting fruit pests it
will be great deal more effective to
remove and destroy the infested fruit
this year than to try to overcome the
pest next year by spraying. This is
especially true of the codling moth.
Remove and destroy the worm-eaten
apples as soon as they fall to the
ground, and there will be a great deal
less trouble next year.

On entering the village postoff1ce
that afternoon Miss Kitty Havens be-
held stranger. She knew it was a
stranger because he didn't look bit
like Deacon Thompson or Elder Steb-
bins. She Judged his age to be twen-
ty.f1ve., She judged he was t1ve-feet.
something tall. She was going to
judge whether he was good looking or
not when he turned his back to her
and walked out.

to herself.
The next thing was a conversation
between two small boys. They spoke
Of the ice going out of the river, and
one of them asserted that the suck
ers were running Ito beat the band"
Any one could catch a barrel Of them
tn half an hour. Miss Kitty decided
to go fishing the very next afternoon.
Down by the old sawmill was the
place, and she wouldn't have to take
any boy with her to bait her hook.
Miss Kitty Ravens was an orphan
who had been drought up" by her
Uncle Elijah and Aunt Mary. Nine
teen years old, fair looking, and most
of the villagers would look after her
as she walked along the streets and
say something about somebody being
'smarter'n whip" That was the
highest of praise. They couldn't have
got off anything better after thinking
over 1t for week.
Uncle Life, the suckers are rum
ning," announced the girl when she
reached home.
"Well, let 'em rum" was the quaint
reply.
But I'm going fishing tomorrow"
"Well, don't fall in and get
drownded."
"But there's a stranger In town.
/ saw him at the postoffice."
"Ye-es. I heard he was down at
the old mill fishing. He's stopping
at the tavern, and he won't tell Mr..
Stevens where he comes from or any
thing about himself He just said
he'd take the best room in the house
and didn't care for expense. I hear
that Constable Baker thinks he's a
suspicious character"
Gle must be- said Aunt Mary. "A
man who won't answer questions is
bound to be a pirate in disguise.

Elijah, you want to see that the kitch-

he leaves town."
"Well, l know one thing" added
Miss Kitty, in very determined way,
There's only one good place at the
old mill to sit and fish. I'm going to
have that place. If this person gets
there first he's just got to take him
self off. Strangers mustn't think they
can come here and crowd girls out Of
their fishing places"
Uncle Life hunted up pole and line
and dug bait, and next afternoon at
two o'clock Miss Kitty was at the
mill. On the way down she passed a
boy with string of fourteen suck
ers, and he halted long enough to say:
"They are thicker than feas down
there, and you orter see that fellow
haulin' them out! He don't even have
to spit on his bait!"

"Why, the Teller who's stopp:n' at
the tavern. He's got the best place,
and he's hangin' right to it like a
hog!"
hes, So the stranger was there, was he?
And he's got the best place and was
sticking to it? Well, he would get a
Tar. She wouldn't speak to him, of
course, but there are other ways Of
Earring a man. A fixed look and a
toss of the head has done 1t times out
of mind.
Yes; he was there. He sat on the
beam, and he was using patent pole
and reel. That alone will provoke ire
in any villagers breast. The way to
haul up fish is to haul him, instead
of turning the handle of coffee mill
for fifteen minutes.
Miss Kitty walked right up to the
stranger. He didn't even turn his
head. On the contrary, he caught an
other sucker She coughed lightly.
Anothe, sucker. She got ready her
pole and line. A third sucker! She
felt like striking the man over the
shoulders with the pole. but walked

A Wild Aster Luncheon,

The lovely wild aster furnished the
key note to one of the prettiest lunch
cons I ever attended. This dainty
flower is very common, and really it
is very beautiful. With it always
comes the golden rod, as they grow
usually in close proximity. For table
centerpiece there was a low green
pottery bowl containing flower hold
er, so that the blossoms branched out
in charming manner. The doilies
were white, with finger bowl and tum-
bier doilies having embroidered de-
signs In lavender. First we had iced
grape juice in tall glasses resting on
doilies of grape leaves. Then there
was the usual luncheon menu with a
delicious grape juice sherbet for des-
sert, decorated with candied violet
leaves, the plates set in wreath of
asters. The rooms were lavishly dec
Grated with golden rod, and the COM
bination Of lavender asters and the
brilliant yellow was very effective.

At recent party for youngsters
from mine to eleven" they had soap

each child a sheet of colored crepe pa

grown-up took each pipe and quickly
drew face on the back of the bowl
and the children were told to make
dolls of them. A couple of prizes were
offered and it was surprising what at
tractive creations were turned out.
The boys did just about as we'll as the
girls. The pipe babies were taken
home as souvenirs. There were favors
for the soap bubble contest, too.

Spectators Misjudge Re-
sources Of Money Market
Holders Of Stocks on Margins
Scramble for Resources.
Labor Outlook Has Its Effect on
Stock Market Sentiment.

New York, Jan 9.-The opening
transactions for the new year in the
stock market last week had not pro-
ceeGed far when the fact became mani
fest that the resources of the money
market had been miscalculated by the
speculative holders of stocks, Ihelr
confidence in a prompt relaxation from
the money market with the turn of the
year and in an active REIMBURSEMENT
demand for securities when the year
lv profits were disbursed, proved un'
founded. Added to this fundamental
GAUGE of the weakness were several
other factors which melted distrust OF
the speculative position and Increased
the pressure to sell.
The uueypected furry in call mon
ev on the first business day of the year
Ia II per cent was primarily due TO
read iustments required of the heavy
shifting Of loan obligations last fall.
In order to distribute the large sums
payable in January it was necessary
to recall many loans and the holders OF
stocks on margin were driven to q
scramble, to obtain resources. Besldes
the pressure on the market resulting
from this calling of loans. the violence
of the selling in Rock Island gave rise
to uneasiness and to rumors of dlsSen-
sions as a cause which prompted other
holders of stock to throw them over.
The action of the foreign exchange
market during the week and the knoWl-
edge of requirements facing the money
market by reason of new security IS
sues prevented the tranquiliZatlon Oh
sentiment over the money outlook.
The stock market showed itself SEN
sitive throughout the week 10 the

mission to Congress of the Presioeht 5

that the conference of railroad pres
idents with President Taft at the White
House on Monday made the argument
of the message known to them. as the
conference was for the purpose of Volc-

of advanced copies of the message also
gave Wall street it's usual mixing OF
the contents. Apprehension on the sub
iect of anti corporation policies was
kent infamed, also, by the progress OF
1eqa1 processes of the government
AGAINST several of the great corpora
tons. .
The labor outlook played it's part in
shaping stock market sentiment Be
sides the reports of specific disputes
there was a striking unanimity in the
inheritance attached to the high cost OF
living in the annual reviews and sur
views by the leading authorities In
economics, finance and industry.

The mems meeting at City hall Sun
day afternoon was very largely attend
ed. The chorus was composed entirely
of men with Z. H. Wass at the piano.
Mr.. Gray at the opening of the meet
ing expressed his appreciation OF wha,
the men Of Augusta had done in the
way of contributing funds to finance
these meetings. 1t is probable that no
city in Maine where the simultaneous
meetings are being held has been 50
generous as Augusta in this respect.
When three ministers, pastors of local
churches, called upon the business and
professional men soliciting their aid
they met with a most generous re-
Spouse from all. When this was cx-
planned to the mass meeting OF men
Sunday there was prolonged and en-

so generously given money to make it
possible to carry on the meetings on
50 large a scale.
Mr.. Grays topic was "Four Fools
and Other Fools Not SO Famous" The
talk was bright, witty, epigramatical
and terse. The four famous fools cited
Were: First, the man in Proverbs, who
Knocked at sin. The men who mock at
sin are fools; second the man who
said in his heart there is no God is a
fool That fool said it in his heart not
in his head: third, the man who built
his house on the sand was a fool. How
many a man has built upon the sand
of impre imagination. Others upon the
sand of intemperance. The speaker pro-
posed chat the western mayor whom
he accused lying about Maine be sent
this telegram: 1.-TWO thousand Chris
tian men of Augusta, Maine, request
you to stop lying about our State"
fourth, the fourth fool was the man
who was satisfied with his harvests,
his barns, his income and wanted moth
ing else. He certainly is fool who is
so satisfied as to forget that he has an
immortal soul.
