THE ART OF THROWING THINGS
AWAY.

Some wise man wrote an essay on
the art of throwing things away,
which he held was an art worthy of
more attention than is given it. The
correctness of his view is made mani
fest in nearly every family at least
once a year. when the spring clean
ing up time comes. We start out
with everything in spick and spar or
der, everything in its place. and a
place provided for everything. Cen
orally provision is made for a place
or places to put things which are not
Immediately needed, and as the weeks
pass we proceed'to put things there.
Then. when We think the proper
time has come. We go over it all again
and restore to orderly condition the
things that have got out Of order. and
what a conglomeration Of stuff we
ind. Slowed away in n here
and there are bits Of almost everything
in the world. Broken tools, old pic
lures, picture frames for which We
have no further use, an occasional BIZ
cycle wheel which is past repair. a
few feet Of picture molding which
was taken down four or FIVE years ago.
these and a hundred other things
equally useless will be found slowed

and Of absolutely no value.

HIGH PRICES AND DOW INTEREST

enough. When capital is being turned
over In business 1t gets the benefit Of
the high prices. But they affect all
fixed incomes adversely. Securities at
old rates lose their attractiveness. The
Investing public holds back. Given a
continuation Of the conditions new
loans mus feel their influence, and

rates and q fall in the market value
Of issues already disposed Of.

FAMILY TROUBLES
Cause of Hearing, Tuesday Morning,
Before Judge Lancaster.

Judge Lancaster of the municipal
court was called upon, Tuesday. to act
MS mediator in smoothing out the fam
lily troubles of Mr.. and Mrs. Olivier
Gagnon. and as a result of the hear
ing before that official. while il can
hardly be said that the dove of peace
has yet secured a permanent abiding
place by the family hearthstone. indi-
cations at the close of the hearing
showed that he was lowering round.
and With a good prospect of soon
alghting.
The complainant in the case was
Mrs. Delina Gagnon, wife Of Olivier
In her story to the court she alleged
that her husband was not supporting
her in the way in which he was ae
customed to do; that he was using
liquor and in other ways misbehaVing
himself, and as a reason for these
things she expressed her belief that
the trouble was due to the bad infu-
ence eXerted upon her husband by an
older brother of his.
In order that both sides of the story
might be heard. Olivier was hailed into
court, and when asked why there was
discord instead of harmony within the
family circle, he claimed that the
cause of the trouble was his mother
in-law-that they lived too near her.
and that his wife was over to her
mothers all the time, instead of stay
ing at home and doing her work. lie
also stated to the court that he wanted
to go to Waterville to work. and wa
willing to pay his Wife SO weekly. to-
ward her support. Mrs. Gagnort didn't
want her husband to so away. and
after further discussion of the sub
iect in which both parties seemed de-
srous of reaching an amicable settle
ment, the court continued the case for
two weeks, to await developments.
