''no license," while only three "no li- cense" towns went for "llcense." The explanation of this rather curious showing is that the strong sentiment of most Massachusette towns is for no li- conse, unless the place happeus to be a summer resort, when it is sometimes thought best to have a few places licensed to sell liquor rather than to deal with the kitchen barroom. It is true that the kitchen harroom often flourishes in the country towns wbere the no-license sen- timent ie strong, and it is not uncommon for the indignation of sore citizens to be shown by an increase in the license vote. Still, when the license vote gets large enough to carry an election and saloons are licensed to do business the year round one year's experience often

Are Your Children in School?

It may not be generally known by pa- rents that the law of 1808 not only re- quires the attendauce of all children of school age unless exempt by physical canses, but also has a penalty for the parent or guardian who neglects to canse his children to attend. Non-at. tendance at five full day seesions or ten half day sessions during any six mouths, unless the canse is sickness or some- thing of that kind, makes the llability tu prosecution. Indeed, the school com- mittee are very seriously considering several cases where the parents are neg. lecting to have their children attend school as the law requires, and unless there is a change in the conditions pros- ecitions are very likely to be made,

Mechanical Genius.

The ubiquity of Fred L. Davis' me- chanical genins is again illustrated by the traveling bill posting establishment which he has concocted for George I. Partridge. It is a bicycle wheel, to which long iron rods are attached. The ends of these rods serve for bsudles, where the driver puts no the motive power, and between them, in front of the man and behind the wheel, are the paste pot, brush and poeters, all secure.

Dark Side of Speculation.

For uncounted ages it has been an ac- cepted axiom that evil is quick and swift and good is slow and heavy of foot. All the world believes that the truth must labor long and painfully to overtake a lie. In the one field of business success or failure, however, the shining stories of great and sudden wea th far utstrip the less seductive chronicles of fading fortunes and ru- inous chronicles of fading fortunes and ruinous reverses. Perhaps this proves the role. Is it not a fundamental doc- trine of philosophers that the lust of riches is a great and widespread ev'1? Certainly that is true when the avenne by which wealth is sought is the hroad path to destruction which is kaown as margin speculation, and it is in that field of fierce struggles for swift riches that the fortunes won most completely biot ont of sight the fortunes lost. There is the place where the danger of forget- ting what is disagreeable is most immi- nent and serions. For example, says the Cleveland Leader, who notices the drop in the market value of stocks in such a day of declining prices as the other day was? Not one in every ten, snrely, of the multitude that looked with longing and wonder upon the spec- tacle of sudden wealth, gained withont effort which was presented last winter and laat spring when the price of se- curities rose so steadily and swiftly that anyone who bonght them, and did not wait too long, scored handsome profits. It is easy to overlook the news of dropping quotations. A declining market is not celebrated in the papers, The men whose nominal fortunes ahrink fast and alarmingly do not say much of their fate. Their stories are not the kind that people like to hear. Yet prices may fall just as swiftly as they rise. Already the total value, at cur- rent quotations, of the stocks dealt in hy Wall street speculators has fallen hundreds of millions of dollars from the highest point reached this year. The chances are that there may he further shrinkage before 1899 ends. It is the Eide of speculation which onght never to be forgotten.
