Los Angeles began business quite mod
estiy generation ago with few houses
and fun stock Of fancy climate, which
II has since been retailing to tourists
and retired business men at the highest
market prices. The city owes its success
10 the fact that II has over 100 900 travel

its wares. During the winter most OF

up so much business for Los Angeles that
the city has grown from 10000 to 81, 900
people In ten years; and they pay Los
Angeles for doing Il. The highest type
of advertising Is always the kind for
which the advertiser gets paid himself
Los Angeles is situated in desert
which can be readily transformed into
fruit orchards and Italian gardens. by
means Of a hose and a pump. II is COM
posed in equal parts Of people who are
spending money and OF people who are
helping them spend IT This helps busi-
ness immensely and keeps every one so
happy that the only way TO make a Los
Angel stop talking about his city is TO
shift the subject to fieas.
The Los Angeles climate Is so saIubri-

Fortunately for Palmerston, the aim of
Davis was bad and the bullet. though
striking him, glanced on his spine.

Under the Arlington Oaks.

With all the pomp and ceremony
which a grateful nation could display,
the martyrs of the Maine have been
laid at rest under the oaks of Arlington.
The last scene in the tragedy has
been enacted The Maine itself lies
buried under the tossing waves, and the
men who were suddenly hurled into
eternity have found fitting resting
place with other heroes. Over their re-
mains the bugle has sounded its mourn
full requiem, but in the hearts of the
American people their memory remains
undying.
Honor cannot wipe away tears, nor
can the hearts of those who suffered be
entirely healed by a nations praise
Nevertheless, the scene of yesterday
stirs the blood and gives deeper and
richer significance to the lessons of pa
triotism which have come down to US
from the days of the Revolution.

Inc democrats, naturally, view with
complete equanimity the differences in
the Republican ranks. 1t is not their
fight They have, of course, some
troubles of their own. II they should
nominate Gov. Harmon, they would find
in Bryan the Roosevelt of their own
party. His attacks upon the Ohio can
didate, which are to be followed by per-
sonal opposition at the Baltimore con-
vention, would be seized upon with
avidity by every Republican orator.
Gov. Wilson has also been attacked
within his own party, and even Champ
Clark's fervid declaration in favor of
tearing down custom-houses has been
resurrected. Mr.. Underwood, although
his candidacy has reached proportions
beyond the fondest hopes of those who
launched his name, is persona non grata
to Mr. Bryan.
1t is fact that the Democrats have
not yet found a totally unobjectionable
candidate, which makes the outcome Of
the Baltimore convention so difficult to
prophesy. 1t is this condition which
has led to more or less talk of Senator
Kern, of Indiana, as compromise. Mr..
Kern, lawyer by profession, politician
by force of circumstances, and the
unanimous choice of his party in the
Indiana legislature for the position he
now holds, has had the advantage of
having been in 1908 the Democratic
nominee for the Vice Presidency. Hav-
ing been once under the searchlight of
Presidential campaign, it is altogether
probable that his record is completely
known.

Annual Stockholders Meeting.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Memphremagog Yacht
club was held at the rooms of the
Young Mems Improvement club
Tuesday evening, showing the club to
be in thrifty condition. having re-
tanned its paid membership of 208
during the year 1911 and coming
through the season out of debt with
a good balance in the treasury. Ow-
ing to anticipated repairs and the
possibility of damage by ice, it was
not decided wise to declare dividend
on the stock, though this action
might with propr1ety, have been tax
en-. The club house was painted last
season and considerable work was
done down the lake in the way of set
ting buoys and markers to define the
channel and insure protection against
the grounding of craft on various
reefs and bars. Action has also been
taken looking to the placing of
stronger lights by the Government
Lighthouse commission. The Off
GERS elected were Commodore, Geo. F.
Root; vice CON-, F. E. Alfred: rear
CON-, H. B. Stewart, F. S. Tinkham !;
secretary and treasurer. Col. C. S.
Emery. the retiring commodore was
rendered vote of thanks for his serv-
ices. The club starts the year 1912
with the best of prospects for success.
1t has certainly demonstrated it's ne
cessity to the welfare of the com.
munity and it's ability to fill a long
felt want.

Bernice M. Chandler.

Miss Bernice M. Chandler. for a
number of years a clerk in the Post
office of this town, passed away early
Monday morning after an illness of
about year and having submitted to
two hospital operations. Miss Chandler
was the eldest daughter of A. D.
Chandler and Ruby (Rines) Chandler
of Derby. Since the death of her
parents, seventeen years ago, she has
made her home with her uncle and
aunt. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry G. Blanch-
ard. The only remaining member
of her immediate family is a sister,
Mrs. Archibald Wells of this town.
During her service in the postoffice.
Miss Chandler won the regard of all
by her faithful service and by her
pleasing manner with the public, be-
ing one of the most popular clerks
that this Office has ever had. She
will be missed from her accustomed
place by host of friends. Rev. L.
A. Edwards, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, conducted the funeral
services on Wednesday at l 80 q. m.
at her late residence on Second street.
The beautiful display of flowers from
far and near gave evidence of the love
and affection in which she was held in
this community. The interment was
at Derby.

Gets Jail Sentence.

That ministers of the Gospel are

nounced. When approaching Mr.. Lance
the mendicant was Methodist, dur

preference was Episcopal, while as a

be Virgil E. Morrill,, an escaped in
mate of the industrial school at

him on a warrant for vagrancy and
