COMMUNICATIONS,

[The editor assumes no responsibility for ma t- ter under this caption, This column is entirely at the disposal of the public, avoiding, as far as possible, trivial and controversial matter.]

TO THE EDITOR :- I believe it is the duty of every true cltizen to uphold the liquor officer in his efforte to free the towu of liquor. But-do we uphold bim in allowing his Imagination to hold suclı sway as to accuse anyone of buying liquor on the simple ground of having been seen to come out of the Central House office?

Has one not the, privilege to step into the office upon an errand, (which I am free to tell anyone) without having « summons read to him a few weeks later to appearas witness on a liquor question? As I have always voted for no-license, and have felt as interested as any voter could in this line, it seems to me rather unjust to be forced to appear as witness In a liquor case, of which 1 know as little as Queen Victoria herself.

We do not for a moment doubt the good intentions of our worthy officer, but we trustin the future he will curb that powerful imagination a trifle, and not al- low himself to mistake breakfast coffee for liquor again.

Frankliu, Mase., Feb. 21, 1900. The Money Goes Easy.

Many laboring men, if liquor is to be had easily, will spend $2 or $3 a week. What man of them can afford that outgo? What family can do without that which the $3 would huy? What storekeeper can let that sum be charged off against profit and loss? That is a practical vis w of it, and just that state of affairs will exist if the town votes license. Fami- lies, are you ready for it? Merchants, are you ready for it?

fact about the Pantheistic theory ie that it identifies God and the univeree ae one

Preparing for Dewey.

Dewey days in New York will also be flag days, according to the Philadel- phla Press: "It was saul hy the pro- fessional decorators that it would be Impossible for New York city to be more completely swathed in flags or bewildering gay with bunting than it was during the presidential campaign of 1896. But it ia probable that that beantiful spectacle of the fall months of 1596 will be surpassed on the occa- slon of Admiral Dewey's visit to this city. The decorators and the dealers in bunting and flags have already cx. hansted the supply in this city, and are mending throughout the United States either to buy or borrow, The city wl be one vast, magnificent banner, and some of the artists who have been en. gaged by the committee on the scope and plan are of the opinion that this feature w'll be even more impressive than the proposed Dewey arch, Some Idea of the magnitude of the expendi- tures for the celebration may he gained by the statement that already $300,00 has been seenred by municipal and atate appropriation and private sub- cription, and that it is expected that as much as $2 . more will be raised. All of this money w'i be for no other porpose than decorating the land and water parave and the official entertain- ing of Dewey and other formally invited visitors."

There are few women who would prefer a comfortable competence to great wealth. The reason for this mis- take in judgment, says the National Magazine. can easily be traced to a pre- sailing ignorance of the tria s and trib- nlations surrounding a life of affluence. A rich woman is in many respects to be pltied; not entirely because she runs an especially poor chance of getting into the Kingdom of Heaven, even as the camel does in entering the eye of the needle. but principally because she is by right of her inherited or acquired wealth the center of multifarious. per- plexing affairs, and the object of con- siderable persecution. The very rich woman seldom knows a restful, irre. sponsible ",our, unless it comes in sleep. In America there are three distinct va- rieties of rich women-the one who spends money socially, the one that spends philanthropically and the one that does not spend at all.

At the old settlers' annual meeting at Shelbyville, Mo., the proprietors of a refreshment stand put up a sign of- fering "all the lemonade you could drink for a nickel." A lank farmer lad, appar- ently in the last stages of conaumption or something equally unpleasant. walked up and laid down five coppers. The vendors thought they had a snap. says a local exchange, until the large glass was filled and emptied 19 times, when the customer was handed his money back and requested to complete the slaking of his thirst at the town pump, The sign was then removed.

An old sea captain writes to the Phil- adelphia papers and asks that the weather bureau be given credi: for saving inillions of dollars' worth of property and hundreds of lives in the recent hurricane that came up through the West Indies and along our eastern coast. Warned by the weather hurean. some 2,000 vesse's remained in the safe harhors along the coast and escaped the fate that met many that paid no at- tention to the warning an put to kea.
