Bar Harbor has some big expecta-

coming winter 1t understands that
Capt. Bob Bartlett, who commanded
the Roosevelt ON the trip when Peary
was successful in his dash to the Pole
is to come there and make trial fights
with a. modern aeroplane. Capt. Bob
has nearly induced the Boston Aero
Club, or certain of it's members, to
finance a polar expedition. The plan
is to take a heavier than air machine
to Cape Morris *. Jesup. which is but
ISL miles from the pole, and there
make the trip to the top of the world
and back with flying machine. Such
q Journey would be a matter of a
few hours. The only supplies neces-
sary would be ample gasoline for the
trip. Bartlett, it is said, has promised
A. V. Wilson, inventor of biplanes and
other flying machines, and other Bar
Harbor people that he will use Bar
Harbor as the practice ground during
the winter The idea is that the froz-
en- lakes and other conditions there
would be such as to get well acquaint-
ed with handling the aeroplane under
conditions which would exist In the
polar region.

The BIGGEST
SINGLE EXHIBITOR

It is now definitely known that the
largest single exhibit of cattle that
was eve made by any individual at
any state or county fair will be at the
Fargo state fair this year at Fargo,
which begins July 20 and lasts a full
week.
1t is the hope of the management to
make the cattle exhibit the best ever
held in the northwest, for the reason
that the people of the state are just
now taking up the dairy interests with
energy. The management of the fair
wants this exhibit to be great, and
therefore the premiums offered in the
aggregate are very large, amounting
in round numbers to about $4,000.
From what can be learned there will
be several great herds of shorthorns,
Jerseys and Holsteins and there will
be several others of the best known
breeds shown. There will be compe-
tent veterinary services on the grounds
at all times and the cattle barns have
been disinfected and put in the very
best of condition.

OF
GOOD LITERATURE
THE USE OF HIGH SOUNDING
PHRASES TO CONVEY IDEAS
UTTERLY FAILS IN ITS PUR-
PosE-sIMPLE LANGUAGE is
BEST.

Emerson said: Converse with a
mind that is grandly simple and all
literature looks like mere word catch
ing
The great philosopher evidently
meant that literature in general is
made up of high sounding sentences
Pinned down to a close ANALYSIS he
would doubtless have made an excep-
ton of Bible literature. In fact from
a literary viewpoint this great Book
Of books stands alone.
Great ideas can best be expressed
in simple language. Take, for instance,
the Sermon on the Mount. Here is
indeed a perfect specimen of simple
literature. One does not need a die
tionary to interpret it. If one car
read at all, one can understand It
Even a child will readily get its mean
ing.
The Bible is a most wonderful piece
Of literature, but the edition which
The Forum & Republican is distribute
ing has an added interest in it's su-
perb illustrations. The worlds great
est artists have contributed to its
wealth of art and every picture in IL
tells a story of its own.
One need not be a member of a re-
ligious society to appreciate the lit
erary merits Of the Bible. The new
illustrated Bible, however, makes plain
many obscure passages in pictures
that are printed in with the text mat
ter. It makes no difference how many
other Bibles one may have, this IL
the n that will always be used.

appointed at Convention.

you would think that q sedate
traveller like Herb Mason, who has
been on the road for many a year
would notice a thing like this.
One evening he was sitting at the
Waldorf with a party Of other kim
dred spirits like Bill Grasse, Dave
Oman and Otto Morrow, when he
said:
Some of those young fellows who
were It Reg Wing certainly wore out
a good deal OF ~soleIeather. / kept tab
on some of them, just because ! used
to be young myself and / wanted to
see how they'd perform away from
home, and to tell the truth they acted
just like ! did at their age and he
blushed. II mel a crowd OF them
about 3 in the morning. They
had just been taking the girls home
from the dance, and there were seven
of them in the party. From what ]
could gather those Red Wing young
ladies set up a job on the Fargo fell
lows. Each one Of the girls picked
out the home of a girl friend and 1t
was invariably located at the extreme
end of town and she made the Fargo
boy walk the entire distance, and then
excused herself at the gate, without
even going to the trouble to invite
him in, always giving as an excuse
that she didn't live there, but was
spending the night with a girl friend.
Such a state of affairs induced some
profanity, but nothing like what ]
could use when I was younger. 1t was
exasperating."

VIRTUES Of A
TRAVELLING Man
A WHOLE HEAP or THEM, BUT
THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN
COPIED OUT AS AMONG THOSE
THAT SHOULD BE MENTIONED
PuBLVcLY.

That very few commercial travel
ers drink to excess.
That for morality and human kind
ness and broadness the travelling fra
ternity viii compare faYorably with
any other profession.
That 1t Is not a al thing to find a
Bible in a travelling mans grip.
That while competition is most ac-
tive among commercial travellers, yet
courtesy and kind feeling prevail with
rival statesmen.
That there is no place like the road
to teach the important lesson that
there are others"
That no house could afford to send
out a man as their representative IN
less he was reliable, energetic and
sober.
That the travelling man is regarded
by his house o as an associate
In business than OTHERWISE.
That he is accorded courtesy and
respect by the trade.
That the commercial traveller is a
potent factor in disseminating practi-
cal ideas ana indirectly educating the
masses.
That their hives are the most siren
uous, and the ~privations Of travel are
minor considerations.
That an UP to date salesman will
always protect the interests of his
customers.
That so per cent of the travelling
men came from the farm.
That the character of the CONNER
cial salesman of today is wholly I'M
like the drummer" of thirty-ive
years ago.
That he ear eat cheese and crack
ers, but he will have quail on toast If
it is on the market.
That drones, weaklings and smart
alecs are short lived on the road.
That visits home are the GASES in
their lives and very precious to them.
That they never carry their trouble
from n town to another, knowing
plenty more are waiting for them
ahead.
That room 10 is not popular and
hence that number has disappeared
from the doors of hotels.
That he is a good Judge of women
as we'll as men, and when he goes to
get married he gets the best"
That the road makes a ma either
better or worse; If the latter, he is
very soon s~idetracked.
That the time is coming when the
statesmen of the country will seek
the influence and good offices of the
commercial travelling statesmen in all
important matters.

INVENTED WORLDS
GREATEST WRONG
MAN WHO FIRST TIPPED THE
WAITER DID SOMETHING THAT
AFTER GENERATIONS BY FALsE
GENEROSITY MADE HUNDRED
TIMES WORST.

The man who tipped the first walter,
or rather the first ma to tip a waiter,
made the worlds biggest mistake. he
established a custom that has mate
life a burden to most of us who wan
der from our own f1resides. Then
came the chap with his sweetheart
who did the high and mighty by
slipping the servant so cents where 10
would have been plenty, and he made
a bad matter worse. In consequence
we have bred and brought up a race
of walters who think that half a dollar
is the smallest coin minted by Uncle
Sam.
1t has got to the point where trav-
cling men, in self protection, have to
cut it out, or try to. That the sys-
tenn OF tipping will never be elimi-
mated is almost self-evident. The old
countries. who do so many things bet
ter than we do, have tackled this
problem. They haven't wiped it out,
but they have got 1t down to a sys-
TEN. Although occasionally the fool
Americans disrupt the system the ma
tives of England, Germany and
France do not suffer. The size OF
their tips is fixed by the size of their
check; it is 10 per cent, no more and
no less.
And that is what we have got tc
come to. Travelling men are beginning
to adopt it. Indiscriminate tips of q
and SO cents to the Senebambian who
brings you your coffee and rolls are
out of date. In the language Of one
travelling man, Nix on EN-" Ter
cents is enough for that sort Of serv-
ice; when the check goes over 81, til
10 per cent of the amount. The
walters have worked the game theil
way long enough; it's time now TO
the patient and long-suffering public
to write a few rules. 1t doesn't TAX
long for a habit to spread. We car
not abolish tipping altogether am
more than we can abolish the trea
habit, although we would be better of
il we could. But since we cannot, theI
Ilet us have a little order and system
in our gratuities. A 10 ne cent rule
self-made and religiohsly followed
will save money for the average trav'
cling man, and at the same time giv'
enough to the walters so that most o
them will retire Independently wealth!

the state to compare its school work
with another part in order to see how
all are progressing. The hall where
