Gold Galore.

There is enough of gold floating in
times a millionaire. A few years ago
Maine clergyman made this discov-
cry and a company was formed to
exploit it which. however, never de-
veloped into anything practical. The
discovery of the Maine clergyman has
been almost forgotten, even by those
who were interested in the promotion
Of his theory. But now comes a re-
port from Paris, France, that AL
phonse Berget, a professor in the
Oceanograph institute, has recently
finished an analysis of ocean water
and finds that the gold 1t contains
would, if extracted, make everybody
in the world rich.
According to Paris correspondent
the analysis of the professor revealed
"about so miligrams CIT grains) of
gold in each ton of sea water" ex-
plains the professor. That seems
little enough, but considering that it
takes a line of figures a column wide
to give the total number of tons of
water in the ocean it is easy to see
that an immense amount of gold is
held in solution. If each of the L.
500, 100000 inhabitants of the world
had his share it would equal $24,-
100000 apiece!"
The professor does not state how
much it would cost, and how long it
would take to extract all this gold
from the briny deep, but were it pos
sible to obtain it, the gold probably
would be worth no more in exchange
for the necessities of life than the
water from which it was extracted.
So it is more profitable for everyone
to imagine he owns his share of that
gold, and then-work for an honest liv-
ing, than for everybody to be a mil
lionaire 24,000.O0O times.

At the close of the war for American

Paris. He was handsome, wealthy and

Among the ladies with whom Sidney
Pyle came in contact was the young

an ardent love.
Already the rumblings of the COM

full lest his people should throw of
his yoke as they had thrown off that

Vermont Votes Tomorrow.

Vermont will set the pace tomor-
row for the fall election by voting
for governor and five other state
officers, representatives In congress
and members Of the legislature. The
two representatives will be the first
members of the 62d congress to be
chosen anywhere in the country and
their pluralities are expected to show
in some degree which way the wind
will blow in the big plebiscite in
November. Representatives Foster
and Plumly, the two representatives
of Vermont in the lower house, are
candidates for reelection on the re-
publican ticket.
AS Vermont has never wavered in
it's loyalty to the republican party,
the success of Lieutenant Governor
John A Mead of Rutland, the can
didate for governor, Is conceded, SO
that the interest in the election CEN
tiers in the size of his plurality over
Charles D. Watson of st. Adams, the
leader of the democratic ticket. AL
though not anticipating victory, the
democratic leaders predict freely that
the usual republican majority of co.
900 votes will be cut at least in half.
The prohibitionist and socialist
parties have named complete state
tickets. The prohibition candidate
for governor is Edwin r. Towle of
Franklin and the socialist candidate
is Chester E. Ordway of Proctors-
vile.

The Dingley tariff made multi-mil-
lionaires out of cotton mill owners in
a decade. 1t would seem that these
men who had grown rich beyond the
dream of avarice would have been sat
lsfed with the Dingley cotton sched-
ule. But greed knows no, bounds and
the average rate Of duties collected on
manufactured cotton goods under the
Payne-Aldrich bill is % per cent high
er than under the Dingley bill. For
example. 8 pieces of 54-inch cotton
covert, costing abroad 81 cents per
yard, used for ladies' skirts and chill
dren's suits, paid $43.34 under the
Dingley tariff of So per cent, but I'M
der the new tax it paid cents per
square yard, or S52.SS, an increase of
about 80 per cent. An importation of
four pieces of 54-inch mercerized cot
ton costing abroad 80 cents per yard
would have paid under the Dingley
duty $31.14. but actually paid under the
new tariff $41.S3, an increase of 81 per
cent. Thus this additional extortion-
ate tariff tax on cotton goods will now
proceed to make billionaires out of
cotton mill millionaires.

Sleep was looked on as a crtm0-
Gay vacation, time OF folly.

Every mothers son and daughter

Picking husbands. picking wives.
Happy, gaudy butterflies
Underneath the summer skies,
From the cup OF pleasure drinking.
OF the future little thinking,
Chasing folly
On the trolley
Or the gaudy touring car.
Hitched securely to a star.
Eating. drinking. laughing. smoking.
At the wise and thoughtful joking.
But the season has departed.
Well may gay ones be doWnheartee-
Now has come the season sober.
Cool September. then October.
No more time for milk and honey. J.

Striving. driving. taking. giving.
In the chase TO get a living.

Quite forgetting Kate and Lizzy.

Now the leaves begin to rustic.
