the desire Of Wilson to make a stump

should remain at SHADOW Lawn" his
New Jersey home and put forth his
propaganda for reelection from the
front portice to visiting delegations
which would be organized and sent
there. The success OF Hughes In the
west has knocked the props out from

going to take to the hastings to see
what he can do to put a stop to the
rising Hughes tide, and to try and turn

two complete and separate mouths
and noses. Compare its head with q
tree growing upright and forked about
the middle Of the trunk, one fork going
one way and one the other you will
get an idea how its noses are separat-
ed. Its jawbones are attached from the
inside and when Il works one mouth,
its works the other also. II can suck
milk from two bottles, bawl out OF
both mouths. lick out both tongues at
one operation, SO whatever II does with
one mouth the other follows suit. On

Three fine pike were caught in the

weighed six and one half pounds.
Paul Meade also hauled one from the

the Eastman drug store, caught pike
that weighed six and one fourth pound.
Toms catch weighed one fourth pound
more than Smithy's, but then perhaps
Albin's would have been heavier II he
had been our informant. The pike
were all caught from the same hole in
the Middle Island. This makes six
fine pike that have been caught at
this particular spot, this summer. The
hole Is back OF the fair ground, but
the fishermen refuse to diyulge its ex.

institution from end to end. ThE
wires leading to all parts OF the ground
seemed to be streaks of lightning and
persons residing several hundred yards
away could see to pick up a pin.
When the steam had been turned
off the engine gradually slowed down
and the electrical display disappeared
BY that time, however. the escaping
steam from a four inch steam pipe
which had burst had added new hor
ror and the noise was deafening. Sew
eral persons ran over to the power
house, expecting to find that Mr.. Smith
had been scalded to death, hut instead
they found him enjoying the best Of

The wiring in the dynamo was all
burned out and all lights had to be
replaced, otherwise there was no dam

 Dear Mr. Edtor-
 For the benefit of Whom it may Concern, will you kindly reconcile your editorial in todays issue of the Progressive entitled He is riled up, with the slogan of your company explaining the position of your paper which appears at the head of the editorial column in every issue.
 Thanking you in advance in the name of those WHOM IT MAY CINCERN I remain, Yours Re- spectfully. (Name)
