Now that congres.·» is going to investi gate the high cost of living, what do you suppose we shall find out about tbe J cause of the increase in prices'.' One ex pert says it is due to the greatly increas ed production of gold. Another expert sâys that it is due to six causes, of which I the increase in gold is only one. Few of the experts agree on the matter, and not ι many of them even venture to sta^ the cause. If congress can give us an au thoritative explanation of the matter, it will be worth while. With damage done by the Hood to the amount of half a billion dollars in and about Paris, as soon as the water began to subside the people of the city began to recover their spirits. That mercurial Gallic temperament is a great thing, sometimes. It is said that the Boston and Maine Railroad contemplates rebuilding the Summit House on Mount Washington next year, not on the real summit, but at the foot of the cone, on the plateau I near Lizzie Bourne's monument. That J will protect the house somewhat from the tierce storms which sweep over the mountain, but it will be some like a I seashore cottage built over behind a hill, j just out of sight of the water. According to a paragraph now going | the rounds of the papers, the people of [ I.ubec are apparently just discovering! that the clam is good for something. That must be a libel on Lubec. The test of Edison's new storage bat tery on a street car is followed by much discussion and elaboration in the news papers as to the uses to which it may be I _ put. No need to worry about that. Κ Given a storage battery which is prac Jitical at a reasonable weight, ami the Hues to which it can be put will appear without summons, and a host of them. At the recent meeting of the M tine Press Association, in view of the fact that s >rue of tlie member* wore not fully informed re ira riling a certain law pissed by the legislature last winter, on·· man expresed the opinion that any publisher who issued the sheet of laws ought t<> know what was in them. Still, t!i.»' s hardly a reasonable proposition, when fOfl COmMn the enormous bulk of those laws. Indeed, the general public has j ist discovered a law passed by the) legislature which some are bcliwd toI ' term a "joker." It ameuds the ttqnorl nuisance law 10 as to provide that in case of the imposition of a tine in a| liquor nuisance case, the additional term I in jail, in case of non paymeut of line, shall be only thirty days, whereas for-1 merly it could be more. It is to be not-1 ed, however, that the maximum term of I one year in jail has not been ohMgad,! and there is nothing to prevent theI judge making the jail part of the sen tence as large as before. Winch would you rather be, a citizen I of the great Uerroan empire, which isl one of the powers of Europe, and is straining every nerve and spending I money by the hundreds of millions toi become master of Europe and raistri·-; of the seas— >r a citizen of little Bel I gium, which can never be a power, and doesu't have anything to do with war, | with all the glory attaching thereto, but I whose neutrality is guaranteed by the I powers, so that it can save its money 1 and strength for the arts of peace? Hut I as long as you are an American citizen, that question doesn't interest you any I way. , — a The strike fora seven-hour day has I now made its appearance. Why not I make it six hours a day, and five days a week, for all of us? To be sure, wej couldn't produce very much in that! length of time, but the hours would suit I most of us pretty well. Sheriff Shipp was given a great ovation I on his return to his home in Chatta nooga, Tenn. He had been serving a term in jail for c ratempt of court in not I endeavoring to protect a prisoner in bis charge from a mob of lynchers. If I Tennessee wants to make a hero of a man under those conditions, so much I the worse for Tennessee. Commander Peary's strict code ofl ethics of polar exploration seems to I have gone glimmering. He favors fit-1 ting out an expedition for the south! pole, regardless of the fact that an Eng-1 lish expedition is under way. But sup I posing those English officers should say, "Hands off, please"? Maine's "Grand Old Man." (Boston Transcript ) In respect of years and quality no one can outrank General Joshua L. Chamber-1 lain as Maine's "grand old man." I Though the experience comes late, he ! being in bis eighty-second year, it must | give him much gratification to receive from the War Department the original I letter sent by General Grant to Secre- j tary Stanton, contirming a telegram ofl two days previous promoting Colonel I Chamberlain in the field to the rank of I brigadier general and asking that steps (or confirmation be at once taken. In I the action which won him this advance-1 ment he received a wound which it was feared would prove mortal, but for-| tunately he was reserved for further ser-1 vice and higher military distinction. I Few men have shown such versatility as he in the large activities of life. As I clergyman, professor, soldier, governor, I college president or practicing lawyer be never failed to rise to the stature ofl his responsibility. His most recent ser vice has been that of surveyor of customs at Portland. The organization of the Direct Pri mary Leagne of Maine has been com pleted by the selection of the following , officers : Presblcnt—Howar<l Davie·, Yarmouth. j Vice President—A. K. Irving, Presque Isle; , E. L. Fletcher, Bau*or; E. F. Hanson, Belfast, W W. Mercier, Princeton: Γ. 8. Adams, Bow ■ loin h tin, Roiand T. Patten, Skowhegan; H. E. CoolMjce, Lisbon Fall·; Kev. H E. bunnack, Augusta; Enoch Foster. Portland. Treasurer—W E. Ell ott, Skowhegaa. I Secretary—Herbert L. Emery, Watervllle. The league will commence active work immediately on the drafting of a direct \ primary bill for consideration at the next session of the Legislature and the a development of public sentiment in its c favor. It is proposed to use the initia- ι tive if the Legislature refuses to pass the measure. η THE OXFORD BEARS. THE DOINQS OF THE WEEK IN ALL SECTIONS OF THE COUNTY. Paris Hill.

It was a welcome and much needed snow as the good sleighing was getting very thin in places. Advertised letters in Taris post office Feb. 1, 1910: Will Andrews Mr. Frank Grady, (post curd).

But while ever ready to assist the ne?dy he was especially useful in case of sickness. Mrs. "Greenwood lived a neighbor to him in her girlhood, was present at his wodding, the bride, by the way, being her first cousin and daughter of Oliver and Roda Bryant Swan. Some years later, Lydia A. Cuin raings, that being her maiden name, married Joseph Clifford, who, in about two years, was taken sick and died of typhoid fever, and shortly after an infant eon followed bis father to his last rest ing place. And during all that period of sickness and death, Mr. Cummings stood by like a brother, rendering all the as sistance necessary as far as possible to the affl cted ones. No wonder, thon, that the present Mrs. L. D. ever re membered him as one of her best friends, and that something moistened her eyes when Informed of his death. We were highly interested in reading the history of Mr. Atwood's Grape-Fruit farm down in Florida, but were disap pointed in the writer not informing us as to what that grape fruit really is.

Some man not named, who is not a resident of the state, has offered to give the Maine State Sanatorium at Hebron the sum of $200,000 as an endowment fund, and $15,000 towards its present debt, provided the friends of the sana torium in Maine and elsewhere will pay the balance of the debt of the institu tion, $45,000, before the first of March. Up to Feb. 1st, all but $8,000 of this earn had been pledged in sums ranging from $1 to $1000. If the $8000 can be raised before March 1st this munificent offer will become available. Since the sana torium was opened in 1000, 300 patients have been treated, of which number the statistics show that about 00 per cent have been cured, so far as medical ex amination could determine, of this disease, once regarded as incurable. "The Passing Years." (By Rev. B. C. Wentworth of Norway.) "I'm growing old," so says the lofty tree, "My leaf will fade, and wtthored shall I be; But while my branches green shall outward sweep, I'll ehe'ter flocks and rock the birds to sleep." "I'm growing old," so says the polar star, "Muse pale like all that glimmer, near or far; Rut while I sparkle, true to men I'll be, And guide the sailor o'er the troubled sea." "I'm growing old," so says the setting «un. "My course so rapid some time will be run; By while my mission to the earth I bear, My shafts of light I'll scatter everywhere." "I'm growing old," so save the earth so gray, "God β word declares, I, too must pass away; But while mv Maker bids me roll through space, I'll serve with plenty all the human race." "I'm growing old," so save the son of man. "My «lavs are few, my life Is but a span; Yet while I live, my will, my heart, my love, My service, shall be His, who reigns above. Not growing old. Thy spirit must live on When tree, and star, and sun, and world are gone. Immortal youth, time works no change In thee, Abundant life Is thine, throughout eternity. Appointment to West Point.

The badly mangled body of William Driscoll of West Rosehill, 31 yean» old and unmarried, was found Sunday in the lower Maine Central railroad yard at Lewiston, where he tad been run over by the outgoing and incoming Pullman trains. Frank Murray and Thomas Lewis, convicted of breaking and entering tbe Hartland post office, were on Friday sen tenced in the United States Court at Portland to eight and seven years re spectively in the federal prison at At lanta, Qa. John House of Monmouth, aged 50 years, was instantly killed Sunday by a freight train, eastbound, a quarter of a mile below tbe Anabessacook station on the Maine Central, while walking on the track.

The old dry plate factory which has been idle several years, has been leased by a Massachusetts company and will be operated to its capacity within a few weeks. The product will be dry plates and other photographic supplies. The same man has been appointed manager of the department of purchases and supplies for the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, tbe Boston and Maine, tbe Maine Central, tbe Washington County and the Somerset. These several railroads are now operated as parts of one system. It is reported that two new hotels would be built at Old Orchard this spring, one on tbe ocean front and tbe other near the camp ground. There will be a number of cottages built, if plans materialize, and tbe carpenters are looking for a busy spring. It is claimed that the work on the hotels will be pushed forward so that they will be ready for opening after the Fourth. More or less stir was occasioned in Portland last week by tbe disappearance Monday morning of Charles A. Bean, treasurer and manager of tbe I. S. Bean Co., a well known wholesale fruit con cern. Mr. Bean evidently took a Boston train, but left it at some station on tbe way. He has not yet been found. An investigation of the affaire of tbe com pany reveals that it is probably insolvent. A correspondent of the Lewiston Journal reports that in tearing out the old part of tho state house at Augusta for remodeling, serious structural defects were disclosed which make it a matter of congratulation that no part of the build ing has collapsed. Tbe conditions will make more work uecessary than was planned, and when it is done there will be little of the original state bouse left as h nao uunn. « A bird lover of Brewer this winter has seen quantities of ground sparrows while he has also seen an occasional robin. Neither have the crows, which usually seek the seashore during the cold weather, left their customary haunts. Early in the present week this same man observed a sheldrake winging its way rapidly over the city, following the river. As the pool at the water works dam was approached, the bird flow steadily lower till it was directly over the pool, when it alighted. The following muroiDg ducks and crows, as well as a large num ber of gulls, wore visible evidences that, of the salmon pool at least, spring is on hand, while the long stretch of opeD water for a half mile below the dam, would almost make one think that the salmon fishing season is about to open, Instead of being two months away. Frank B. Hills, first selectman of Thomaston, hitched up in front of the Rockland post office a day or two ago with a "pedigreed carriage"—the one in which Washington's first secretary of war used to ride. The carriage was built in Boston 130 years ago aDd was the private carriage of Major General Henry Knox, secretary under the first President, and not oniy is it one of the most historic vehicles in the United States but it is also probably the oldest able-bodied private carriage in existence on the continent. In spite of its 130 years, a quaint substantial vehicle it is. General Knox no doubt bad it made, just as history tells it, in Boston, for there were no carriage builders in Thom aston in those early days, and as General Knox operated a packet line of small sailing vessels between Bieton and Thomaston, it would have been easy for him to have the carriage brought to Thorn as ton. A SWIFT STORY. Th· Way the Dean Rebuked His Pub lisher, Faulkner. An amusing story of George Faulk ner, the printer of many of Dean Swift's works, who lived In Parliament street, Dublin, Is told by Mr. Wll mot Harrison in "Memorable Dublin Houses." Mr. Harrison relates how Faulkner, after a visit to London on business for Swift, called to see the dean, having arrayed himself in a laced waistcoat, a bagwig and other fopper ies. Swift received him ceremoniously ns an entire stranger and asked: 'Trny, sir, what are your commands with me?" "1 thought It iny duty to wait upon you. sir. on my return from London." "Pray. sir. who are you?" "George Faulkner, the printer." "You George Faulkner, the printer! Why. thou art the most impudent, barefaced Impostor 1 ever hoard of! George Faulkner la a aober. sedate citi zen and would never trick himself out In lace and other fopperies. Get you about your business and thank your stars that 1 do not send you to tbe house of correction!" Poor George returned home and, having changed his dresft, returned to the deanery and was received most cordially by Swift who, having .wel comed him "on his return from I/on don," said: "There was an Impudent fellow In a laced waistcoat who would fain have passed for you. but I soon sent him packing with a rtea In his ear." The Game of Moum. Thia gaine, translated from tbe French, can be played in or out of Joori. Cats are represented by per sons, who form a circle by holding bunds. One player, tbe mouse, walks around outside the circle of cats. When he sees α good chance he strikes one of the cats with bis handt and immedi ately runs away, passing in and out of the circle between the cats, who hold their clasped bands high enough for him to get through. Tbe cat who bas < been touched ruus after bim and must pass through exactly tLe same open ings taken by tbe mouse. If tbe cat catches the mouse he then becomes mouse himself, and tbe moose takes the cat's place. ι . Unquestionable Evidence.

Why does Great Britian buy N its oatmeal of us? Certainly it seeme like carrying coal» to Newcastle to speak of export ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of uaker Oats to Great Britian and urope. The reason is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade. How well he has succeeded would be seen at a glance at the export re ports on Quaker Oats. This brand is without a rival; is packed in regular 10c packages, and in large size family packages at 25c.
