There Is a bright outlook for spring trade, said John F. Marston, . member of a manufacturing concern in New York,
 owing to the severity of the winter we have good reason to expect an early and settled spring There is certainly d fine prospect of a big fruit crop, and in the south especially the coming year will be one of great abundance.
 Business conditions have not been very satisfactory during the past three months, but there is a steady improve ment There is an optimistic feeling that in spite of national politics 1912 will be more prosperous on the whole than any year since 1907. |"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Being a reformer is the quickest way to get despised.
 The hardest thing is to convince noise that it isn't knowledge.
 When a man isn't bragging up his busi- ness ability himself, his wife is doing 1t for him.
 Two times two makes 70 when they re beaux, and 70 plus two makes 2s when they're years. man is a lot more suspicious of some body that stops him in the street to ask him the time of day than of anybody who tries to sell him gold brick.

TEN GREATEST LIVING MEN

From The Strand.
 Doubtless there are many great men liv- ing in the world today-men with pros pective greatness, that is, or even achieved greatness-but only time can de- eide. In my judgment there is no man in the world today who Is great in any walk of life in so striking a way that his contemporaries can unhesitatingly pro- claim him great History has proclaimed the elder Pitt a great man, but not so certainly his son. It has not assigned this epithet to Palmertson or Peel. and it is too early yet to decide whether it will concede it to Gladstone or Disraeli The great man is surely he who, by force of genius, has impressed himself upon his age in some permanent form. Whether the achievements of Mir Roosevelt or of Emperor William are of this character had better be decided a century hence As you ask me, however, to join in what can scarcely be a serious discussion, l sug- gest that we take the name of a living man from each country who has, by in- vention or creation. stamped himself upon his age. l, therefore, nominate the 10 greatest men in the present day as fol- lows
 Great Brtain-Thomas Hardy. Great Britain-Lord Lister United Stated-Thomas A. Edison.

here from Ohio last winter, and &C.
quired frontier outfits according to
the eastern idea Of such necessities,
tried to. start their careers as real
bad men by stealing two horses from
the Lumley and lBreeden barns in this
city, at which places they had been
working. They went to the northwest
part Of the country and stole rifle
and revolver, and exchanged the Bree-
den pony for a better horse at the
Putnam farm without asking consent
of the owner. Finding the extent of
their depredations, the farmers took
their autos and started on a round
up, locating the would-be desperadoes
in a grove about twenty miles north
east of this city. The bad men were
stripped of their guns and brought in
and turned over to the authorities,
and are in Jail waiting hearing at
the next term of court in this county
on penal charges.

they could, and some raising row to
keep from paying what they honestly
owed me. Every automobile dealer
has to travel this rocky road, but
there is one bright spot in my expert.

complaint to make. Every owner
is pleased, every one will speak
good word for his car and every one
will leave his work to help me sell
his neighbor-not so much d favor to
me as to his friend and neighbor.
I've sold lots of Overlands this year
and this one fact of pleased owners
has been of greater aelp to me than

Gen. Bixby chief engineers, United

this last winter, and an effort will be
made at the next session of congress
to correct a situation which other
wise may lead to upbuilding industrial
life in the province of Ontario at the
expense of tie United States. Gen.
Bixby's statements were made before
the committee on foreign affairs of

Residents of northwestern New

a prediction that unless remedial
legislation is enacted, new Industries
will pass their section by, and locate
across Niagara River in Canada, in
order to get the benefit of expanding
water power development there.
