suNFLowER PHILOSOPHY.

EyeryalSRn'ss ideaSof Reform is to
fix things ID suit himself
yod caIfshate a man so much you
won't have much use for his friends.
There are a good many more crazy
people than admit it, or get caught.
Grief and election contests never
have a great effect on the general re-
suits.
All many a man accomplishes DUR
long life is to barely escape the
pcnitentiary.
If a thousand peope try thing, and
can't make it work, why should you
try it? Why not accept experience!
The man who is big enough, or the
woman who is handsome enough, can
get away with considerable impudence.
You probably know you do not
amount to much. Why not admit it?
Most of your trouble is due to the
fact that you insist that you amount
to more than you really do.
And the time comes to most mar
ried men when they think, when start
ing for home more of the beefsteak
that awaits them than Of the smiling
face; a feeling augmented, perhaps, 10y
the fact that the face isn't sure to
smile.-Atchison Kan.) Globe.

The Portland correspondent of the
Bangor Commercial says: The grain
shipments from this port this week ex-
ceeded 1000, O0G bushels and it must be
admitted that when it is considered
that the wheat was only one item even
if d very important one in the sum total
of shipments that the commerce of this
port is worth talking about. The
Grand Trunk will in the near future
make an addition to the present ele-
vators and will add another 100000
bushels to the wheat storage capacity.
That is a very pleasant thing to re-
member because it shows that there
will be in the future a marked addition
made to the export business of Port
land. AS matter of fact, it is clear
that Portland must always be a great
pert of export after the st. Lawrence
is closed to navigation in the fall and
until the ice goes out in the spring.
And until the ice ceases to make in the
fail this port will be all right. The
action of the Grand Trunk will be the
most convincing proof possible that
the commerce of this port is to in
crease from year to year for many
years to come, and the Grand Trunk is
a good friend to Portland and to
Maine.

The Waterways Commission.

The report Of the National Water
ways Commission. which has been
submitted to Congress. is a valuable
document on account of the peculiarly
conservative, yet fair and progressive
stand which is taken. The Commits
sion suggests that the federal gov
eminent make expenditures for i'm
provements only where the greatest
number of people can be directly
benefited and qualities even this
recommendation by declaring that
some of those projects appear i'm
practicable on account of the ire
mendous cost
The Commission advances the
opinion that expenditures for water
way improvements shDuld be safe
guarded through some law which will
stop railroads from throttlng water
way competition. The suggestion
advanced is that when the railroads
reduce their rates to drive out water
way competition. they may be forbid
den to raise those rates until it has
been clearly shown that there is some
good reason for raising them. The
Commission very wisely decides that
railroads win hesitate to, permanently
reduce their rates to stifie COMPETE
tion.
In touching upon the subject of
nayigable streams the Commission
expresses a doubt that the federal
government has the constitutional
right to charge a toll for the use of
those streams. but advises that
power may be found which would
permit the government to regulate the
charge made to shippers. In connec-
ton with the same subject it is sug-
gested that wherever dams are erect
ed on navigable streams, that those
who have the right to erect these
dams shall be compelled to furnish
power for locks which permit the
further navigation of the streams il
desired.
Legislation along the lines suggest
ed will doubtless be proposed in Con-
gress and will receive due considera
ton at the hands of the Senators ant
Representatives; but it is worthy Of
note that this Commission, charged
with ascertaining the facts, has sub

gifted Max Pemberton, favorite OF the

In THE Diamond Ship" He reveals
the workings Of the master mind that
controls one OF the most stupendous
criminal agencies the world has ever
known: he shows how a polished
blackguard can divert the entire course

to vanquish a treacherous and ignoble
foe; he indicates the reward that comes
to him who wages conflict against

cling to the memory OF the reader as
one OF the most inspiring romances Of
