ing, ridiculous, pathetic and disgusting here one day last week. A man of nam. moth stature. but minus on) limb, weary and heavy laden with a most "pictur- esque jag of oh-be. joyful" was uncere- moniously ejected from the southbound express and left to the mercy of a cruel world. With the aid of his crutches, one of which was broken, and the oharit- able assistance of J. E. Rheadss who chanced to be near by. he assumed per. pendicular posture and announced his intention to ~forward march," Grasp ing MT. Rhoades in most affectionate embrace, and with the onl sound crutch or the other side, the triumphant march" for the hotel was begun. The pleasure of escorting an intoxicated one- never fell to MT. Phoades' lot before, and, we understand he is not looking for another contract of this kind. When arrived at their destination the stranger wished to show his appreciation for courtesies extended and insisted upon treating Mir: Rhoades to the best the house afforded in the line of liquid re- treatments, but when informed that nothing of the kind was wanted he be- came exceedingly wroth and broke forth in an avalanche of pet names and abusive language so far beyond the vocabulary of any local talent, and so superior to anything allowed by Landlord Baker in The Garfield, that he was again ejected. After hobbling around the streets for awhile with the aid of one crutoh and remnants of another, the railroad station was favored with call from our distin- gulshed visitor. Here he refreshed the inner man" with generous supply of firewater, of which he was we'll stocked when he came to town, and when he be- came so obnoxious as to be considered a nuisance, complaint was made to Agent Kinney, and he was once more ejected. When the eastbound evening train on the o. N. E. road came he climbed into the car, and doubtless rode until he was again ejected. Thus, Ca- naan's loss was some other towns gain (0.

THE LIBRARY MEETING

Judging by the two letters printed in THE NEWS this week, and the interest taken by the people of Canaan genera ly, the meeting next Saturday night to discuss the project of a new library building for this town promises to be a decidedly lively one.
 This is as it should be- A question of 50 much importance ought not to be settled by few people, but the meeting should be we'll attended, and the question should be presented from every point of view, that when decision is made it should represent the sentiment of the whole community. Such a settlement is the only one that would be satisfac- tory.
 Our two correspondents agree on sev- eral points, They both seem to be in favor of location more central for the whole town than the one proposed; are decidedly in favor of a fireproof building and agree that it would be wiser to wait until it would be possible to secure a permanent home than to try to improve conditions temporarily at an expense that would go far towards providing that permanent home.
 One thing is certain: The town as a town cannot afford to put any money into either the New England Lime of flee building or into @ new building We have not heard how the committee appointed at the last meeting are suc- ceeding in their efforts to raise money as proposed, but from what number of people have told us we judge that there is quite a strong sentiment against con. tributing towards any temporary home for our books.
 The Suggestion made by "L I. Brary' would be the most economical way of providing more room until conditions were more favorable for the erection of a new fireproof structure. But even that simple plan calls for money, and where is the money Uo come from?
 As the library is town institution it will be necessary to hold town meet ing to ratify any action that may be taken at next Saturday nights meeting,

AR8oR AND BIRD DAY

Tomorrow April g, IS the day de. signated by the Governor of Connections as Arbor and Bird Day.
 It is good idea to thus put aside one day in the year for the special purpose of intoxicating in the minds of the chil- dren of our public schools the importance of planting and preserving forest, fruit and ornamental trees, and the duty of caring for the birds upon whom to a large extent the lives of these trees are dependent.
 In these days, when the conservation n of our woodlands has been demonstrated as an urgent necessity, it is doubly inn portant that the rising generation should be taught the need of doing every thing possible to preserve the present and increase the future growth of trees of all kinds. The lesson should be taught not only this one day, but every day in the year, that the person who destroys a tree without doing what he can to re- place it with another, is injuring not only himself but the whole community.
 Equally necessary is the lesson of car ing for our feathered friends. The child who has not been taught that there are other uses for our birds than to be made targets for sling-shots or other devices for killing them, should be led to see their importance in the economy of na- ture, as well as the pleasure to be derived in cultivating their acquaintance by kind ness and care.
 Parents and teachers should do all in their power on this day to impress upon the minds of the children in their charge the value, not only in a commercial sense, but in the building up of a kindly nature, that is to be obtained by an ob- servance of the lesson for which the day is set apart.

 Reports in the daily papers show that as rule people are doing all they can to help them in their work, the only difi- culties they encounter being among the non-English speaking population who do not understand the work or the necessity of answering the questions. One census man working on the East Side in New York came flying down five flights of stairs with the whole population of the building at his heels, He refused to go oil with the work unless accompanied by a body guard.

ANOTHER EXPLORERS ROW

The Fairbanks party. headed by Thomas Lloyd, who claim to have reached the summit of Mount Mckinley. and to have found no evidence of either Dr. Cook or anyone else having been there before them, are now getting the same medicine that was dosed out Uo the doctor. Edward Barrill. the guide who accompanied Dr. Cook on his trip, and who made affidavit during the polar controversy that the doctor never reached the top of the peak, now asserts that the Fairbanks party have failed in the attempt. He declares that they could not do 1t at this time of the year on ac- count of the condition of the snow and ice. and that they could not have reached the summit by any other route than the one selected by himself and Dr. Cook. He also says that the reason no trace was found of Cooks camps was because at this season the route taken by him would be covered under deep blanket of snow. This looks like the proper foundation for another Cook-Peary con- troversy, but there is a reasonable cer- tainty that the freedom of no city will be granted and no medals conferred upon this group of hardy explorers until their case is proven beyond doubt-and per. haps not then.

V. A. Felten; church clerk, John s. Reed; church treasurer, John B. Reed; auditor, H. A. Holt; collector, Lester H. Adams; Sunday school superintendent, Rev. E. O. Gillette.

As the average number employed by this giant corporation the past year was 1855 this apparently slight increase in wages adds $9,O0O, ,OOO to the company's annual payroll. It will also give the employees the same amount of money to put into circulation, which will be good for business in gen. eral.

Every true baseball enthusiast has some one team to which he pins his faith at the beginning of the season, and he never wavers in his allegiance.

A writerin Harper's Weekly makes the statement that lime is said to be the most. dangerous cargo with which 8 yes sel may be loaded. When it catches fire, as is not an uncommon occurrence, ill spite of the utmost care used to pre- vent the admission of water into the hold, it is practically impossible to ex. tinguish it. The only method that has ever been found of any value in check ing the fire is to stop every crack of the hold with soap, so that no air may reach the lime. Often this is of no effect, and the fire will burn for weeks, until the vessel sinks beneath the waves. Moth ing can be done at close range fighting, as when 8 vessel loaded with lime takes fire it is sure death to go below.

spirit of Christmas. Kindly make out
your list and d oyour shopping early
While this may seem an untimely
warning away down here in Florida,
yet it is not without its logic.
According to the merchants, the
warm weather has had disastrous eff
feet upon the general desire for cool
weather clothing-and there appears
to be a general dirth in the doings Of
the people generally.
So right now, "betwixt seasons" is
mighty fine, quiet time in which to
pick up little gifts here and there that
will fit In splendidly when the rush
comes later on.
There is another thing for the la
dies to consider this year, by the way
When Pensacola weather finally
gets right side up again, and the
more invigorating breezes commence
to do things in the Vicinity of the
Blount corner, the seasons business
will be damned up in a much shorter
space of time than usual, and the rush
will probably be greater in December
as a result than has heretofore been
noticeable This condition of affairs,
coupled with the fact that the town
is very much more of trading cen
ter even than 1t was last year, should
make the shop early" slogan at least
a popular one here.
So-shop early!
