A Good Word from Stanstead.

The Stanstead Journal Of last week
says: "E. w. Barron and Charles e.
Hamblet of Barton were callers in
town on Thursday. They were here to
interest local people in the purchase of
the Orleans County fair ground proper
ty, which is located at Barton. The
scheme is to have sufficient citizens, in
the county buy one share of $25. 90
each to raise fund of $7,50O.00 for
this property for the
purpose of perpetuating the fair as a
county owned and managed institution.
The subscription list they had with
them indicated that they would be
successful in their undertaking, and
they we'll deserve to be. Some might
look at the proposition as a Barton
scheme for the benefit of that village
and we would like to know where
ted. All must agree that a we'll
conducted annual agricultural fair in
this or any other county is capable of
being of great benefit to every citizen
of the county, and if each village and
town of the county have little of
their treasure invested in the plant the
success of the venture is much more
sure. The property is worth more
than double the price named, conse-
quently is in and Of itself good
business proposition. The fair must
be located somewhere it has been in
Barton for many years, and it seems a
fair spirit to join hands with this
enterprising village and help them to
help the whole county of Orleans. 1t
is the very best rule in the world of
economics to aid self by boosting the
other fellow. The growth of any unit
of the county assists every other unit
more or less. The very best names in
Barton and other towns appear on the
subscription list and among them are a
great many farmers.

the young man entered into a detailed de-
scription of colorng. Now, even amongst
artists no two peoples ideas of tints are
the same, so it was not to be wondered at
that several alterations had to be made
before the son was satisfied. Before the
portrait was regarded as complete, his
two sisters were sent to the studio to air
their opinions. The first girl burst into
tears, declaring that the eyes were not
the same kind or5s as her 'poppa" pos
sesed when alive. Not having heard this
remark, the younger thought the likeness
perfect, but she guessed her dad never
had mouth like rat-trap.

Bottle Brokers
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harpers Weekly.
Since the edict of June g. 1894, the pro-
duction and sale of vodka that fiery
drink in which most Russians delight,
has been controlled by the government.
OF the $4,000 places engaged in the vodka
traffic in European Russia more than
one-half are conducted by the state. un-
der the direct supervision of the ministry
of finance. Most of the employees in the
government vodka shops are the widows
and orphans of deceased officials of the
state. These shops are conducted In an
orderly, manner and no drinking is per-
mitted on the premises. The fact that
charge ranging from l cent to cents
is made for the bottle in which the vod-
ka is sold has given rise to strange
business Bottle brokers. as they are
called, haunt the neighborhood of the
vodka shops. watching for some thirsty
person who needs the loan of ! or 2 ko-
pecSs Ga half a cent or cent? with
which to make the purchase of a bottle
of the desired beverage. Perhaps the
buyer has but 8 llopecks, and he requires
to get bottle of vodka the broker
lends him the 2 kopecks to make up che
desired amount. and after the receptacle
has been drained under the vigilant eye
of the broker. the bottle Is turned over
to him. He takes 1t back to the shop
and sells 1t for 3 lsopecks. thus making
profit of l kopeck. In Moscow and ST.
Petersburg there are hundreds of men
who earn a living at this strange trade.

The Keknote of Prosperity

From the Baltimore Star.
The keynote of prosperity is sounding
loud and triumphant out in Kansas these
days. And for why? Why, the govern
ment estimates say that the wheat cror
yield of Kansas this year is going to be
around 11s.00O.0o0 bushels. And by tht
same token there is promise of a record
breaking wheat crop throughout the grea'
central winter wheat area. 1t is expected
that the winter wheat yield, which vii
be harvested between June 20 and July 10
will exceed 55O,00O,0oo bushels.
II this tremendous yield should be real
ized and the yield In the spring seeding
wheat states should be As large as it was
last year. It will mean total wheal
