TRIED TO THAW EMPTY PIPES.

Many residents of Addison were
robbed of their usual Sunday morn
ing rest by hustling around in the
early hours trying to thaw out wa
ter pipes. Most of them left their
water faucets open Saturday night
in order to prevent any possible
chance of freezing BY doing this all
the water in the small reservoir was
drawn of.
When it was discovered that there
was no water running from the fau-
Gets the people supposed that the
pipes had frozen. They had good
reason to think so for the thermom-
eter registered 22 degrees below
zero. Every known means OF thaw-
ing out water pipes was brought in
to play. After spending an hour or
two in a fruitless endeavor TO start
the water running il was discovered
that there was no water.

ADVERTISE NOW.

Midwinter is a period of inertia
for the buying public. Its needs for
the rest of the season are pretty
swell supplied There will be little
doing unless you pursuade custom-
ers to anticipate their wants. But
though now stand patters, they are
scrutinizing the advertisements for
chances for economies.
The merchant commonly has bar
gains at this time of year. But the
existence of these bargains is not
made known to the public merely by
mental suggestion, nor will crowds
flock to your store on faith. There
must be some evidence in black and
white that it is worth while.
However great this inertia such
obstacles are quickly swept away
before the impulses of thrift, sug-
gested by the timely advertisement
merchants know, cut in prices does
not need to rob the dealer of his fair
profit on all lines. Judiciously dis
tributed bargains fill the salesrooms
again, and the customers, won over
by the appeal to the eye, become in
terested also in staple lines of goods
always salable at fair prices.
1t is merely a problem of induc-
ing the public to visit your store in
the off season. No way of doing it
has ever been discovered except
through liberal advertising.
ADVERTISE NOW.

CLERGYMEN IN MEETING DE.
NOUNCED AS CRIMINALS.

One hundred Presbyterian clergy
men, representing most of the i'm
portant pulpits of that denomination
in Philadelphia, were branded as
uncaught criminals by the Rev.
Thomas Tibbits, pastor of the Con-
gregationalist church at Montclair,
n. j., at the weekly minister's meet
ing in the Witherspoon building one
day last week, when DR.. Tibbits
said
The only reason why you are not
in the penitentiary and other people
are is because they got caught and
you didn't.
Il challenge any minister here
who has not some time in his life
committed a criminal act to hold
up his hand"
Saying this, the speaker waited
Not a hand went up.
This age" he continued, calls
people criminals and calls actions
criminal that the next age will not
so regard. Jesus was a criminal
in his own time"
DR.. Tibbits is interested in prison
work, and has made a close study
of the criminal question. 1t was on
this subject that he addressed the
Presbyterian ministers and took
their breath away by his personal
statements regarding their moral
ity
The very best life in the COM
munity at times. is very close to
criminality," said DR.. Tibbits.

THE BOYCOTT ON MEAT.

We are coming, Uncle Sam'l, three
hundred thousand more
From Mississippi's winding stream
and from New England's shore;
We've sworn by all that's holy, as
other heroes do,
Wen chew no toothsome outlet, and
chops we will eschew;
We dare not look behind us, but
steadily before;
We are coming, Uncle Saml, three
hundred thousand more.
If you look across the hilltops that
meet the northern sky
You'll see a COW a-grazing, and for
us she shall not die;
The cattle on thousand fair plains
of Texas cheer
The principles we're booming this
penitential year;
The lambs of Oklahoma bleat fear
less of the mint,
While butchers most profanely say
things not fit to print.
You have called US, and we're COM
ing, our bugles gayly toot;
We're vegetarians moving, though
our doctrines taking root;
The porterhouse we're scorning, the
sirloin's vanished, too;
We're using olive oil to make a
spectral stew;
We've choked rebellious palates, as
men have done before;
We are coming, Uncle Sam'l, three
hundred thousand more!

There is no fixed calling that a
man can follow in which there is not
a future. 1t is, of course, easy to get
into rut; and often through no
fault of his own a man is pocketed
where he can go no further.
But he can get out of his pocket
by exerting himself.
Supposing when young he sets up
as a merchant in a little town, be-
lieving and trusting that some day
the town will be a great city. But
circumstances put the town on a
side track, and it refuses to grow.
The dull man would stay in the
same old town and do business in
the same old way. The live man
would hold to his course toward
progress, get his stock together, set
it up in the nearest good town and
continue on his way toward success.
The man who begins life as a
blacksmith can, after he masters
blacksmithing. become a mechanical
engineer. 1t will take hard work,
but there are many who have done

POPULATION OF THE EARTH.
Growth Since Days of Constant
Warfare and Pestilence.

The population of the known earth
at the death of the Roman emperor
Augustus, about the time of the COM
mencement of the Christian era, was
estimated by Bodia, an Italian statis-
tician, at 57,000,000. The Romans
knew nothing of Asia beyond the In
dus river and nothing of Africa save
the Mediterranean states. But the
human race in early times was en-
gagged in constant warfare, and it
is recorded that the temple of Janus,
which could ony be closed when
Rome was at peace, was shut at the
time of the birth of Christ But not
only was the population of the earth
decimated by incessant wars, it was
devastated by terrible epidemics of
disease which swept over every
country, so that in 1892, at the time
of the discovery of America by CO.
lumbus, the population of Europe
was placed at 40,00O,00O. To-day
Europe has ten times that number,
or 100000 people, with about
100 to each square mile.

Who would have thought that the
Boycott" which the trade unionist
introduced and which so many peo-
pie were bitterly opposed to. should
be taken up by all classes and ap-
piled to the Beef Trust. If we sue
ceed in having lower prices, we will
have to thank the trade unionist for
blazing the way by making us famil-
lar with the use of the boycott.

THE COST OF LIVING.

No party will dare ignore the ad-
vance in cost of living, which hits
the wage and salary workers SO
hard. But no party can alter cel-
tain inevitable causes No party can
again make it possible for a man to
move into fertile country and re-
ceive a farm from Uncle Sam for
next to nothing. Round prices must
henceforth be paid, and in the end
they come out of the consumer.
Furthermore, our consumption of
farm products, plus exports, has been
increasing much faster than produc-
ton. 1t has been fashionable to
ridicule the farmer as a Reuben and
hayseed, which has tended to make
his calling unpopular. This attitude
has been a large factor in Turing
country boys to the great cities, a
drift that has so depleted the forces
of productive agriculture that the
farms can not both feed the country
and keep up the export business that
is open to them. AS a consequence,
consumers are bidding against each
other for many classes of farm pro-
duce, and prices of course go up.
The first thing to do is to per-
suade the boys to stick to the home
acres until production shall again
equal consumption.

ROOSEVELT IN CONGRESS.

Washington, Jan. 20.-According
to a report among members of Con-
gress, former President Roosevelt
has agreed to run for Congress with
that understanding that he will be
allowed the Speakership of the
House of Representatives
Representative Cocks, of the First
District, which includes Oyster Bay
where Roosevelt resides, according
to the report, is willing to step down
and out in favor of Roosevelt.

No man leaps to success or COM
petence. We need not worry about
inherited money. 1t isn't earned, it
is soon spent, and doesn't count.
But real going ahead depends on
a mans own efforts and his tenacity
of purpose.
Let him follow every golden illu-
sion that he sees, and he will amount
to about as much as the average
loafer who works only enough to
earn an occasional meal.
But let him fix his purpose and
stick to it, no matter how bright
seem the opportunities for change,
and he will live a life that is use
full and honorable, and, dying,
leave the world better because he
lived in it.

Are our merchants prepared to
meet the competition, constantly
growing more attractive to the un-
thinking, of those alluring spring
catalogs from the metropolitan de-
partment stores? OF course the bar
gains at home are better when you
consider that the home merchant
gives you personal attention and the
chance to return goods that are not
what was represented. But the pub
lie forgets this, trade has to be
drummed, and the only efficient
drummer for the home merchant is
the local newspaper.

The statement of Governor
Hughes, of New York, that he will
not again accept a nomination for
the Office he now holds has caused no
little speculation here as to his fu-
ture and the bearing of his decision
on the Republican party generally.
The career of the Governor while
in public life has been so conspicu-
Gus for progressive enterprise and
he is considered to have such a
hold on the people of the country
that it is not thought likely he will
remain out of politics altogether.
His going leaves a serious problem
as to who will succeed him. The
Governorship of New York is a
pathway to the Presidency, and
hence the great interest in the situ-
alton here.
