The British admiralty's annual or
der for black silk handkerchiefs for
the navy, recently placed for 10000,

years.

The rate at which some birds Ga.
migrate under favorable conditions is
extraordinary, and as one listens to
their plaintive cries coming from the

fealize that in few hours these same
birds may be within the arctic circle
and little later may be even cross
ing the pole itself. Less is
known of the actual dates of the de-
parture of the migratory birds in au.

earlier in the year, and this for obvi-
Gus reasons. The way in which our

Americas great day passed in this
vicinity in just about as "safe and sane
a fashion as usual, without accidents Of

with some noise and little mischief at.
tendant on the might before"
The only one of the bells which was
open to the celebrators was that in the
Congregational church, and that was
rung for a short time after midnight
Thursday morning. Explosives in vari
Gus forms contributed to the racket, this
form of celebration being confined large.
ly to the center of the village. Dwellert
in the outskirts of the town were gen
orally able to sleep the night through
without being disturbed.
1t is said by some of those who were
out in the small hours that there wal
more than usual of the hilarity inspired
by imported express packages, and some
minor acts of mischief were perpetrateC
in spite of the number Of officers who
were on guard. Dynamite fred in 6

of the stones and broke some glass in tht
house of E. j. Record across the street
some picket fence was pulled up by tht
roots and laid ON the ground; and a few

John Reflects" on the Conventions,

When you read of the shameful pro-
ceedings in the late conventional pow
vows at Chicago and Baltimore, can you
account for 1t in any other way than that
they were in a condition that whiskey,
straight or split, places man? Kodak a
drunken mob, and then snapshot either
convention, and point out the difference
between "mob" and convention" If
you can. 1t cannot be done without a
label.
Leaving out the tomahawk and scalp
ing knife and the warpaint of the North
American savage, and there you have
another characteristic picture to hang In
our nations art gallery-daubs by the
same old animal painter and delineator,
the adversary of decency. But, as the
poet says, "Let them skin their own
| skunks."
When the Prohibition convention
meets at Atlantic City, should the dele
gates act like bowling dervishes, strong
drink THAT weakens the-whole MANI will
not be in evidence nor under suspicion.
We look for order and cleanliness az
Husual. When the Young Mems Chris.
tan Association associates together. the
place of meeting has not the faintest
resemblance to Bedlam-nor Chicago.
There is a reason. There Is no hat in
the ring-no swollen self conceit-no
rule or ruin spirit-no devil OF discord.
However, the world Is going some
1t has moved up from breechclout to
trousers. So far so good. JOHN.
