As is usual the younger element %
Skowhegan could not restrain their
patriotism until the day of July 4th,
so toward the evening of July 3rd
there began a noisy manifestation, in
cluding the footing of horns, the firing
of fire crackers and the roaring of
torpedoes. Young America was Ger
tainly demonstrative in Skowhegan
and the antics were kept up through
quite a portion of the night.

The kidneys often cry for help.
Not another organ in the whole

The kidneys are the filters of the

poisoned blood. Backache is one Of
the frequent indications of kidney

how clean the floor may be, he
will either give it a kick or pick

will never eat it. But let him
drop a plug of tobacco on the
street and no difference how dirty
the street may be, he will pick it
up, give it a carelesss wipe on his

ish than ever. This is the kind

Graduating Essay.

Graduating Essay.
Many bright girls have gradu-
ated who reside in this commun-
ity. Their graduating essays
were a credit to them and our
schools, but for a good sensible
essay we give first honors to a
young lady in a neighboring
state. Her teacher gave her the
subject, Beyond the Alps lies
Italy,, for a graduation essay.
The reading of the essay pro.
voked enthusiastic comment for
it's earnest, practicability, altho
it may have been shy in idealism.
Here it is: II do not care a cent
whether Italy lies beyond the
Alps or even in Missouri. l do
not expect to set the river on
fire with my future career. 1
am glad l have a good, very good
education, but l am not going to
misuse it by writing poetry or
essays about the future woman.
1t will enable me to correct the
grammar Of any lover I may have
should he speak of 'dorgs' in my
presence, or say he went some
where. 1t will always come in
handy when l want to figure out
how many pounds of soap a wo-
man can get for three dozen eggs
at the grocery, so l do not be-
grudge the time I have spent in
acquiring it. But my ambitions
do not fly so high. I just want to
marry a man who can lick any
body in the township; who can
run an eighty-acre farm, and has
no female relatives to come
around and try to boss the ranch.
And I will agree to cook good
dinners for him that wont send
to an early grave and lavish upon
him a whole lot of affection and
see that his razor hasn't been used
to cut broom wire when he wants
to shave. In view of all this l
don't care if l do get a little rus
ty on the rule of three and kim
dred things as the years go by"

Another Conspiracy.

Secretary of the United States
Treasury Department, McAdoo, has
boldly announced there is a cOnspir-
acy on the part of the bankers of
New York city to depress the price
of United States two per cent bonds
in an effort to prevent any currency
legislation at the special session of
Congress. This has been followed by
the demand for IAN investigation"
The frequency of conspiracies grave
ly announced by the president and
members of his cabinet would indi-
cate that the whole fabric of popular
government is underlaid with con-
spiracy must be we'll understood
the dark plots of Russian nihilism
and the revolutions of Mexico seem
to be rare articles compared with
conspiracies in our country.
Being such a common thing a con-
spiraccy must be we'll understood
and it seems rather superfiuous to
attempt a definition of it before the
Webster say it is ''An agreement be-
tween two or more persons to do an
evil act in concert; particularly, a
combination to commit treason, ex-
cite sedition or insurrection; any
plot; secret combination of men for
an evil purpose" But Webster seems
to be out of date a little on con-
spiracies. Evidently in his day a
conspiracy meant something evil,
but today it is different. If we were
to attempt to define an up-tO-date

ion of two or more practical men
that conflicts with the notion of an
"Old School Marin" President, and
of course when one differs with the
school marin he is likely to be sent
to the black seat" before the whole
school.
