MY DAILY DESIRE.

To awaken each morning with a
smile Frightening my face; to greet
the day with reverence for the op.
portunities it contains; to approach.
my work with clear mind; to hold
ever before me, even in the doing
of little things, the ultimate pur.
pose toward which | am working;
to meet men and women with
laughter on my lips and love in
my heart; to be gentle and kind
and courteous through all the
hours; to approach the night with
WEAKNESS that ever woos sleep and
the JOY that comes from work well
done, This is how l desire to
waste wisely my days. - Thomas
Dreier, in Sovereign Visitor.

MOTHERS BILL.

"A ten year old boy overhears a
conversation about certain bills for
services rendered which had to be
paid, and he conceived the idea of
making out bill for what work he
had done. So the next morning
ne laid the following statement on
his mothers breakfast plate: mo.
Their owes Willie for carrying coal,
six times, Zoe. For bringing wa
ter lots of time, SOC. For going
ten errands, 15c For being good
twice, 10c; total 75c." His moth.
er read the bill, but said nothing.
That evening Willie found on his
plate the 75c and also another bill,
which read as follows: willie
owes mother for his happy home
for ten years, nothing. For his
goods and clothing, nothing. For
nursing him through a long ILL.,
ness, nothing. For being good to
him, nothing. Total, nothing"
When Willie saw the 75c he was
pleased, but when he read his mo.
theirs bill his eyes grew dim and
his lips quivered. Then he took
the money to his mother. threw
his arms about her neck, and beg.
ged that he he allowed to do lots
Of things for her. A mothers bill
is rarely presented, but it will pay
each child to think it out and over
for himself, and then pay it in
love and services. Exchange.

please Don't Publish Any
thing ABOUT tt
(From the Norway AdvertiseD

Every new spaper is familiar with
the request Sometimes it is made
in the form of a demand and accom-
panied by threats of dire results II
acQuiescence does not follow.
There are a few things the public
ought to keep in mind in the matter
of a newspapers relation to the print
ing of news.
In the first place, a newspaper owes
an obligation to its whole circle OF
readers to print fair comprehensive
report of the weeks happenings. 1t
cannot overlook this responsibility
merely to please individuals That
policy involves an injustice to the
many and favoritism to the few. Who
shall be favored?
Much of the news that is printed
unfortunately occasion annoyance and
often heartache to somebody. That
is an unavoidable incident of the
newspaper business. Is there JUST
sequences the man or woman who has
influence, socially or in business,
while the many who lack 1t must be
treated without such consideration.
Persons who wish to escape public
ity should be careful not to make
news, or should count the cost of ad-
yertisement to the world as part of
the price they must pay for what
they have determined upon doing.
There are certain easily defined
zones of publicity The individual
who steps into any of these may count
upon getting his name in the news
papers. One is the courts, civil and
criminal. The man who goes to law
invites advertisement. Yet many
men-sometimes women-appeal to
newspaper to suppress reports of le-
gal proceedings in order that they
may be saved annoyance. The time
to consider immunity is before resort
of law
Departure from the conventionali-
ties of life is another means of enter
ing the publicity zone. Conduct that
is off the beaten trail accords news.
Those who defy social observances or
tread upon established institutions
must not expect to escape print, and
should not ask to be saved from such
notoriety.
Further, much injustice may be
done by the suppression of news The
tongue of gossip, uniformed of the
real fact, can do a hundred times
more injury to the innocent than pub
lication of the truth will do to those
actually involved Often a news
paper is shielding reputation of a
score from the scandal of suspicion
when it is telling the truth about one
who has incurred the liability of CEN
sure.
But this lesson the public should
learn-the way to avoid publicity Is to
avoid departure from the beaten
track; and let this be added to it
If you have diverged into the danger
zone the way to obtain considerable
treatment is to assume that you are a
subject for news, and to the take the
newspapers into your confidence
frankly and fully.

SKOWHECAN'S OLDEST
CITIZEN
1t is Thought that the Homer al Po-
sesSing the Post Cane viii Gene fe
w. A. Could

Although the Post gold headed
cane, which has lately been the prop
erty of Daniel ]. Jones, shortly de-
ceased. has not yet been given to any
SkoW hogan citizen, 1t is thought that
William Alden Gould must be the
oldest voter in the town at the pres
emf time His home is in the Buz-
zell district in the south part of the
town.
Mr.. Gould was born in Belgrade,
September Is, 1922 When three
years old, Smithfield became his
home and there he resided ever after
until a few years ago when he moved
to Skowhegan, coming at that time to
live with his daughter Mrs. Lizzie
Coleman Austin. BY occupation he
has been a farmer all his life. He
has stood the ravages of old age well
and his health is fairly good at the
present time. If he follows in his
fathers footsteps he may live for
years to come as that gentleman.
Amasa by name, lived to be 101.
Mr. Gould has been widower
since April, 1914, his wife formerly
Hannah Mahurane having passed
away at that time. The couple were
married in 1855. There are now five
children resulting from the union
who are living: Edwin S, of All
burn; Thomas of Skowhegan; Fran
els of Waterville; Mrs. Lizzie Austin
with whom he now lives and Eugene
also of Skowhegan. One daughter,
Mrs. Alice Bickford died two years
ago in Waterville,

representatives of the old school
journeyed down to Good viii Satur-

breaking contest, succeeded in carry

scored in the first period after Pull
sifer had wriggled his way up the
rink. Good Wills only score came
in the second period when Harding
sieZed loose puck and showed il
through the goal. 1t was a feeble
attempt and because of the crowd be
fore the goal, Thomson can not be
blamed for letting it slip through AT
the end of the second period the
captains of the teams decided To play
an extra period in order that one
team might secure winning score
No sooner had this period begun than
French took the puck down the rink
and passed II to Pulsifer who scored
the goal This ended the scoring for
