o. r. Clayton editor of the South
Londonderry SITTER is candidate
for the state Senate from Windham
county. He represented London
derry In the House in 1912 and made
good record. He was elected by
the aid of the Progressives two
years ago, but also had Republican
support and did not leave the Repub-
lican party. He makes the following
announcement of his candidacy:
There are several measures of q
progressive nature that | have been,
and am now, strongly in favor OF;
but | believe in working for these
reforms through the regular party
channels instead of withdrawing
from the party to work for improved
conditions. In other words, be
lieye the party should do its own
housekeeping. One OF these meas
ures which have urged during the
past few years and which worked
for during the last session of tho
legislature. is a direct primary law
which would promote honest cleo
tons. The next legislature Will be
expected TO place such a law on the
statutes of the state. More control
of the affairs of the state should be
within reach of the people and less
power be given to the professional
politician. There are great POSSIBLE
tiles in the form of court procedure
in this state. Members of the legis-
lature should bo paid lump sum for
the session. The fish and game laws
should be simplilied to do away with
a salaried department, system OF
espionage and so-called protection
of fish and game" These, and need
ed changes for better education, i'm
proved highways, and development OF
state resources. are some of the 70
forms that should be adopted: and
have them in mind while stating that
| am a candidate for state senator
ship from windham county"

YOUNG Men In Civil War

The tendency to criticize the Ma

ness of some OF the members. is quite
unwarranted. especially so when we
consider what excellent soldiers the
youth made in the War of the Rebel

many OF them. younger than the mem
bees Of the National Guards of today.

what good ones he used to make him
SELF
Il know it." said Mehitable. "He
wanted to make some himself, when
we were first married, but vetoed that.
l wasn't goin' to have a man messin'
round maxim pies, and wasn't goin'
to have him eatin' of 'em after they
were made. Pies amt good for him.
But declare dunno what does make
him act SO kind of spiritless. l told
him today thought he'd better make
resolution for the New Year and
stick to it, and see If 1t wouldn't put
some spunk into him"
Pretty soon she went home. I could
see she was real kind Of troubled. She
always did think a good deal of Lem
uel in spite of everything.
The next day was New Years, and
in the afternoon Mehitable came in
again. She didn't have her sewin' as
she generally did, she was very In
dustrious woman. She jest sat down
and begun twisting the fringe of her
shawl as if she was real nervous. Her
face was puckered up, too. 81 dunno
what to make of Lemuel," said she,
finally.
why, what's the matter?" said I,
kind of scared.
He says he's made resolution for
the New Year" said she, "and that
he's goin' to keep it,
well, what is it?" said I.
81 dunno" said she.
well, if it's a good one, you don't
care, do you?" said l, "and 1t couldn't
be anythin' but a good one if my broth
cr made it."
81 dunno what it is" said she.
Wont he tell?"
mo, he won't. l can't get word
out Of him about it. He don't act like
himself"
Well, l must say never saw such a
change as come over Mehitable and
Lemuel after that. He wouldn't tell
what his resolution was, and she
couldn't make him, though she almost
went down on her knees. 1t began to
seem as if she was fairly changin'
characters with Lemuel, though she
had a spell of bein' herself moren
ever at first, tryin to force him to
tell what that resolution was. Then
she give that up, and she never asked
him where he was goin', an he could
come in my house an sit Jest as long
as he wanted to, and she bought him
short-tailed coat and some store col
lars and shirts, and he looked like an.
other man. He got to stayin' down to
the store nights, an talkin' politics

him myself one night, and l couldn't
believe It was Lemuel.
Well, Lemuel he never gave in, and
he never told till the next New Years
day, when he'd said he would. He'd
said all along that he'd tell her then.
I'd got most as curious as Mehitable
myself by that time, and New Years

He said he wouldn't till he was
through his breakfast. He was most
through-was finishing up with a big
piece of mince pie, and he'd made it
himself, too. When he'd swallowed
the last mouthful, he looked up and he
laughed, real pleasant and sweet, and
yet with more manliness than I'd ever
seen In him.

Writing an article entitled "Treasure
In Books" in the Woman's Home Com
pdnton, Laura Spencer Portor gives the
following excellent advice about the
advantages to be gained from the study OF
words:
THE study OF words; it may sound to
you dry thing, yet l promise you it is
not, very far from it.
sand this brings me to suggest that the
habit OF one OF the great writers OF study
ing carefully from good dictionary five
words each day is one from which we
might all OF US get good deal OF profit
Or, take good book OF synonyms, for in
stance, and learn from it each day five
words somewh hat similar, comparing and
weighing carefully the meanings and
values OF them. Notice the degrees OF
force IN the following: to dislike, to hate,
to loathe, to detest, to abhor-each note
struck is little stronger, higher, we might
say, like an ascending crescendo scale.
so, to instruct, to teach, to educate are
each quite different in meaning with great
nicely of difference. So, rebuke, repri-
mapd, censure, blame are all OF one color
but of how different shades OF meaning.
So, too, misfortune, calamity, disaster; so,
weak, feeble, decrepit; and what delicate
difference between fame ana renown, or
feminine and womanly and womanish."
