to feed it with a salt spoon, while
the girls lacked only wings to make
them a finished product of the fine
arts; cherubs they were who, as
Lowell puts it,
Had lost their way
And wandered hither."
Thus, those happy, care-free
young folks clumsily tossed at each
other many an ancient bit of humor
which like the Wandering Jew had
long since become wearied with life
and its vicissitudes and would have
joyously committed suicide, had the
opportunity been offered, but no
the poor thing was doomed to live
on and on, helplessly passing from
mouth to mouth through succeeding
generations, suffering always the
pangs of death, but never, alas!
quite yielding up the ghost.
After all had partaken of the re-
! freshments, the chairs pushed out
of the way and everything made rea-
dy, the company began at once tc
play one of the popular games OF
the period, which seldom failed to
interest young people of juvenile
years in western villages.
Now if, as is said, when the an
cient Egyptians gave great feast,
they reserved conspicuous place
for a skeleton which they placed in
chair at the table, as gentle re-
hinder to the guests of their own
mortality, and consequently as sort
of check to any undue exuberance
of spirit that might otherwise crop
out as the climax to the festival drew
on or, as it might be, a curb to any
gastromomic or other table excuses,
so also in modern assemblages, there
is frequently a skeleton of some sort
in the person of some unhappy male
or female whose mission it is to
dampen the spirit of the occasion
and make everybody as uncomforta-
BILE as possible.
The skeleton at Frances Arm
strong's party was the spirit of Miss
Tiny spitz. A mere apparition Of
immaterial substance, ghost, a
spectre, phantasm, it was never
theless a gruesome thing. Tiny who
unfortunately had not yet recovered
from the effect of her outrageous
treatment-as she expressed tat
the hands of Pearl Marcus declined
to join the others in the game, so
while they were enjoying themselves
she refused to leave her seat, declar-
ing with much emphasis that she
was very comfortable where she
was-thank you-and that she only
wished to be let alone, as she was
quite able to entertain herself. That
was bad, very bad, because it ap-
peared as If the skeleton who SEEM
ed to have entirely forgotten the or
iginal purpose of his appearances
among the Ptolomys, the Pharaohs
and the Sphinxes, and to have fallen
very low in these later days, was to
have things all his own way at this
stage of Frances Armstrong; party,
which as Billy Christopher took oc-
casion to remark, was "all to the
bad
"Oh, Tiny! I'm so sorry that any
thing should have happened to Of
fend you and cause you to lose the
pleasure of the evening"" pleaded
Frances, do come now and join US
in the game, we all want you so
much"
But the skeleton was impervious
to all solicitations. 1t obdurately
maintained its ground in spite of ev-
cry effort to dislodge it, which fact
caused Miss Van Valkenberg to re-
mark to her friend, Fanny Garri-
SON

Mr. Lewis was acting under author

OF the Chicago bill provides for SUBJ
hitting contracts or practices in adj

to find out what is legal and what is

The climax, which brought. on the

schemes for regulating the grain bust

Why Not Curtail7

Travellers on the express trains of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford will
not give three cheers when they learn
that the price of the dinner EN- route to
New York will be raised from 81 to $l.25
on the first day of July. Nor does 1t
solace them to hear as a reason the high
prices of food products"
This dinner, to be just, has always been
of pretty good quality, all things consid-
cred. There is little protest coming along
those lines. But might 1t not be gently
suggested that instead OF raising the
tariff Is per cent. a sensible reduction
could be made in the number of things
listed on the menu, some of which are
needless and others useless, and both of
which could be taken off and never
missed by the diners?
In other words, why not curtail the
waste instead of boosting the priee7-
Boston Post.
Our Democratic exchange has
missed the point. 1t is a demonstra-
ton CT the reduction of the high cost
of living promised by Mr.. Wilson and
the Democratic party. Reduction of
tariff is bringing in cheap goods to re-
lieve the consumer-of his dollars.

There Are Different Kinds.

We do not believe that rum did IT.
but 1t is interesting to note that Maine
and West Virginia were about equal in
population % years ago and now West
Virginia is so per cent. larger. --Lewiston
Sun (Dem.)
We hope our Lewiston friend does
not fear that West Virginia will now
take the toboggan because of having
pledged itself to stand against an i'm
moral traffic. West Virginia has had
the development of her wonderful coal
fields, ten per cent. OF the country's
output, to increase her population.
And, like Presidential candidates, To-
cation counts for much. Still, there
are additions to population that a
state is better off without. We reckon
Maine the richest state in the Union
when it comes to figuring population.

THE HORSES POINT OF
VIEW IN SUMNER

If a horse could talk he would have
many things to say when summer
comes.
He would tell his driver that he feels
the heat en- a very warm day quite as
much as if lie could read a thermome-
ter.
He would say,--"Give me little
water many times a day, when the
heat is intense, but not much at time
II am warm; If you want me TO keep
well don't give me any grain when you
bring me warm into the stable, just
half dozen swallows Of water, and

Don't water me too soon after /

Especially do need watering be-
tween nine and ten at night. I am
thirstier then than at almost any 9TH
er time of day."
He would say,-"When the sun is hot
and am working let me breathe once
in a while in the shade of some house
or tree; II you have to leave me on
the street leave me in the shade il
possible. Anything upon my head,
between my ears, to keep off the sun,

Our Neighbours Suspicious.

OF fresher interest and a smell
like Lewiston's Standard Oil-sprinkled
streets, is the attempt to associate an
American oil magnate with the Car
ranzists. That is better worth inves-
tigatlng than any investigating Con-
gress has done in this Administration
We would give all our vacation
money to be able to tell in detail the
relation of American finance to Next
can patriotism.
And another dollar to be able to tell
all Secretary Bryan knew about oil
about the time 1t was decided to elm
mate Huerta--And all he has known
about oil since.-Lewiston Sun tDem.)
