Vicarious Candy.

Down among the tenements of the
old Greenwich village, where factories
are becoming unpleasantly plentiful,
a group of children was playing in a
gutter. A passerby walked slowly,
watching the active preparations of a
little mother" aged about seven, who
was marshaling her charges into or
der, apparently in preparation for
some urban excursion. Something
had gone wrong and one small kid
was bowling.
Shut your noise, Tommy Higgins,
and be good this minute!" admon-
ished the motherlet, with a promis-
sorry smack IF you don't stop like |
tell you I'll leave you right here in
the mud gutter. Yez can't go wild us
till yez closes yer noise and be's a
good boy. Do you know where we're
goin'? Well, we're goin' in the next
block to the candy factory to smell
the candies cookin' And do yer know
what they're maxim today? Well, it's

Then and Now.

Prior to the last fifteen years, by
the time people had attained their
first quarter of century, they con-
sidered themselves pretty much
formed as to physical and mental
characteristics. If they were ambitious
and energetic, they perhaps carried
on some kind OF exercise for their
physical well-being, and guarded
against mental deterioration as they
advanced in years by occasionally TAX
ing up new studies or reviewing old
ones; as a dear old lady of my &C.
quaintance at the age of eighty-nine
began to review her algebra to keep
her mind active.
Now everything is changed. We can
not settle down comfortably in the
thought of anything in the regular
routine of life which We may not be
called upon to alter at moments no
tice. Most of us have found that few
of our established habits are right,
and that unless we are willing to be
left hopelessly behind our associates
we must learn over again all that we
required in infancy, and that has since
become a matter of automatic action.
From the Atlantic.

WHEN END OF WORLD COMES
Professor Lowell Predicts the Nature
But Says Mankind Will Have
Many Years Warning.

Credulous individuals who are al
ways fearful that some of the ends or
the world predicted by sensational
prophets may prove to be true, Will
find considerable comfort in the as
sertion of Professor Lowell that there
is good scientific evidence for the be-
lief that mankind will have many
years warning of the great catas-
trophe that is destined to put an end
to al thing on this planet.
According to Professor Lowell S
statements there is somewhere within
the remote confines of space a great
mass of matter-once a world, but
now dead-that Is hurting itself
toward our sun. In time it is certain
ing, and when the two come together
the globe on which we live is destined
to cease to exist
Fortunately for our peace of mind,
there is at the present moment no
such dead world within dangerous
proximity and yet any day it may ap-
pear Any day the morning newspa-
pers may announce that one OF these
dark bodies has come within the
reach of the telescope it may
readily be seen by the light of the
sun reflected upon it.
While it would then be certain that
the end of the world was in sight,
there would still be ample time in
which to prepare for the inevitable. If
the first view of the intruder were
caught at the eleventh magnitude-it
could scarcely come much nearer
without being detected-it would not
be until 27 years later that it would
become visible to the naked eye, and
three years more would elapse before
it appeared to us equal in size to a
first magnitude star.
In two years and three months more
it would have come as near to us as
Jupiter, and by that time it would be
far the brightest star in the sky. In
fact, it's effect upon the world would
already be felt Our seasons would
change and the days would grow long
er. Finally just 145 days later, those
who were still alive would witness the
beginning of the end. The stranger
would not strike the earth, but would
pass as close in it's dash to the sun
that the earth would turn and follow
until together they would drop silent
ly into the sun.

Pistol Mightier Than Snuffbox.

Robert Pinkerton once told a story
of his father, the founder of the de-
tective agency, which illustrates the
elder PinkertOn's caution. A noted
criminal was detained in Pinkerton's
Chicago Office. The elder Pinkerton
left the room, and when he returned
took the precaution of holding a re-
vOlver in front of him.
He saw the criminal standing by the
door with snuffbox he had picked
up from Pinkerton's desk in his
hand
This is good snuff" affably remark
ed the crook as he took a sniff,
For the eyes or the nose?" asked
Pinkerton, who knew that the crook
had intended to blind him in an effort
to escape.
Well" remarked the criminal, ''Pm

LIGHTING LEDGES INSTEAD OF
The SHORE

The lighthouse board at Washington
recently decided to place acetylene
lights on the reefs off the coast of
Cape Cod and abolish the lights on
Thatchers island and at Chatham, be-
lieving the change would be better for
the naVigators: but the men in coast
wise traffic did not so regard it, and
the protests they sent in to the au-
thorities caused the order for the
adjustment of these four lights to be
revoked.
Thatcher island lights were estab-
lished in 1873 and have burned stead
lily ever since. They had become an
institution of no small historic inter-
est. as we'll as practical value. and the
protest against the discontinuance of
one of them was partly on TINS
ground.
Mariners. however, objected to the
change because of the danger of con-
fusion with Boston light, only 20 IL
miles to the south, because being fixed
and close together they are especially
useful in thick weather when the mist
opens for moment and because they
are used by the captains of coasting
steamers range lights, enabling
them to avoid nearby Lodges with
ease

THE POLITICAL ROUNDS.

The politician is defined as being
a citizen expert in the art of govern
ment. and it has to be admitted that
he must have considerable skill to get
the nomination. The master politician
is far from being a farmer, but here
in New England he never omits at
tending all the agricultural fairs in
the fall. going ostensibly to see the
races or the big pumpkins, but really
to get close to the farmer and his vote.
The Rutland News is right when 1t
declares that: NO man can ever
succeed in politics who finds it irk-
some to make the rounds of the cattle
shows and grasp hands with the farm
er and his hired man. Most of our
successful politicians realize this. Few
men ever get to be governor of any
state who have not served an appren-
ticeship of speaking from a judges
stand and cattle stalls to cross roads
audience"
Up in the northern part of New
England, they still call these fall ex-
hibitions cattle shows and we no
ticed that five governors were expect
ed to attend the Vermont state fair
The New England politicians are
making their rounds of the agricultur-
al meetings, and this is the way they
learn what the country man thinks
about their ideas. From the people
who suffer the most from mistakes il
government they will get judgment
on men and measures that is directed
by contact with the hard facts of life
