The political pot is bub
bling across the water and
business there will be dead
until after the election in
November. We knew it
would be and took advantage
of the manufacturer's will
ingness to part with their
goods below cost, rather
than hold them over. You
share the benefits with us.
This week we are offering
you an opportunity of a life
time to secure towels. When
we say cut down the prices,
it does not mean old stock,
sold cheap to get rid of them,
but new articles reduced to
meet popular demand.
We have linen towels all
lengths and qualities; a fine
article for the boudoir and
indispensible to ladies and
children. Honey comb towels
cheaper in price and not so
good in quality, suitable for
ordinary use. Turkish
towels for the bath are as
necessary as soap, no bath
room can be considered
complete or perfect in its
furnishings without them,
and the prices are right.
A lot of good cotton towels
at $i.2 per dozen means
money in you pocket.

MONDAY EVENING, SEPT. 21.
SAM AND JIM.
They Had Their Fault as Habandx, bat
Were Appreciated Just the Same.
It was evident that they had been on
a shopping tour, and the expression on
their faces as well as the glibness of
their tongues made it certain that thy
had made some "genuine bargains."
One of thm weighed about 30 pounds
more than she would have been willing
to have ownfd up to, and the other was
6uch a slight little creature that she
would have been in danger of being lost
to her friends had she ventured out in a
high wind.
They sat down in front of the writer
on a suburban train, and the giantess
said :
"Well, I've got just 18 cents left out
of a $10 bill, and I didn't git half I
wanted to either. "
"I've got only 9 cents left out of
$12," replied the little woman. "I
dunno what Jim '11 say, "
"I know what my Sam'll say, but I
don't care a rap. "
"I'm so fesed to what Jim says that
it don't bother me any. Men are awful
unreasonable about money, ain't they'r
I know Jim is. "
"So's Sam. It's his techy point. It's
like draw in teeth to git a $10 bill out
o' his pocketbook, "
"So it is with Jim, but I git it, all
the same. He jaws and says all wimmen
think of is spendin money, and I don't
dispute 'im. It's no use to argue with
one's husband, is it?"
' 'Not a bit of it. They think they
know it all, and they'd think so if you
argued with 'em 15 hours at a stretch. "
"That's a fact. I never fool away any
time spattin with my husband. Men are
men anyhow, and they can't help bein
the cranks most of 'em are, ' '
"Of course they can't. They was
born so. Does your husband fuss about
his meals?"
"Well, I guess! Just let a meal be a
little late and you'd think heaven and
earth had bumped together right over
our roof. Ls your husband fussy about
his socks and shirts?"
"Oh, heavens, don't mention it!
When he finds a button off a clean
shirt, you'd think I'd broken all the Ten
Commandments. I guess all men are
just so. But if you want to see a cy
clone at our house, just let my man try
to get into a shirt that I've put away
with the bosom and the back stuck to
gether. The last time that happened at
our house Sam tore the shirt all to
pieces and ripped around like a hyena. ' '
"I've had Jim act just so. It runs in
men, speshly after they're married.
I've believed in what the preachers call
'a personal devil' ever since I was mar
ried." "So have L And yet, after all, ev'ry
thing considered, I've got just about as
good a husband as the next one. I don't
know any one I'd trade with. "

band as men run." Detroit Free

Forgot Himself.
With loud shoutings the Volscians
poured down the slope. In another mo
ment they would be swarming o'er the
wall.
Tiberius raised his voice in a loud
command :
"Load every cannon with grape and
canister!" he shouted imperiously.
His centurions hastily rushed to exe
cute the command. All save one, Rom
ulus W. Porsena, a captious fellow,
hung upon his heel.
"Ha, caitiff!" hissed Tiberius. ' 'Why
dost thou not obey my orders?"
"Because," returned the centurion,
with a half concealed sneer "because
everybody ought to know that grape
and canister haven't yet been invented. "
Whereat Tiberius Caesar clapped a
hand hastily to his brow and staggered
violently.
' ' Sed et tuum, ' ' he muttered in a
voice choked with rage.
And so he wras forced to fall back
upon his javelins. But they answered
very well. Anybody who has ever fallen
back upon a javelin can realize that.
New York World.
The Art of It.
"With a low cry she sank to the
floor," read the author from his manu
script. The critic shuddered.
"How inartistic!" he exclaimed.
"Why didn't you have her sink to the
ceiling?" Detroit Tribune.
Down at the Rocky Spring-.
A winding path that tumbled down
A stoep and grassy hill.
Found, at the foot, a rocky spring,
Where I have drunk my fill
Of water pure and cold as that
Of which the prophet wrote.
When Israel drank, beside the rock.
That good old Moses smote.
A little house of rough hewn stone ;
A low and heavy door;
A roof o'ergrown with greenest moss:
Of solid rock the floor.
I've shadowed old Aunt Easter there,
And followed down the path,
To find her busy, skimming milk,
And met her feigned wrath.
"You little scamp! I know yo' tricks;
You thinks you's fine as silk;
I knows you comes er ha'ntin 'roun
Fur some er dis yer milk.
But you is gwinter miss yo' lick
Dis time, I tells you now ;
Kase you ain't wuff yo' daily salt
Dat's whut yo' mammy 'low."
But well I know Aunt Easter's way ;
Her pretense, grim and stern
My time would come when she had filled
The clean, old butter churn.
"Come hyar! Dis milk is gwinter spile;
Dar's heep too mncb today;
But dis is jes' the las' you gits
You heah me, whut I say?"
So there I sit across the sill
And quaff the goodly bowl ;
Aunt Easter's happy as the boy
God bless her dear old soul!
Since then, full oft, I've sought the place.
And plucked the mint that grew
Along the branch, below the spring
And found it mixed with rue.
I've drank the rich and sparkling wines
Of sunny France and Spain,
And felt the splendid joys they bring;
Their misery and pain.
But no such healthful, hearty draft
Will poet ever sing,
As Aunt Easter gave me, oft,
Down at the rocky spring.

The Vice Presidential Candida Live In
the Finest Hodm- In liatli.
Mr. Arthur Sew all, the Democrat ie
candidate for vice president, lives in the
finest house in Bath, Me. He is one ot
the two big men in the old seaport.
The other is General Hyde, his warm
friend. Both are builders and owners of
ships. For years the Sewall shipyards
have been the pride not only of Bath,
but of all of Maine.
The Sewall mansion is a mile or so
from the water front, but from its broad
veranda can be seen the Kennebec and
the yards where the Sewalls, father and
sons, have launched more than a hun
dred of the finest ships that float the
Btars and stripes. The house is a big.
substantially built structure, but can
boast of neither beauty nor style of archi
tecture. The grounds are well kept, the
level lawns being smooth and closely
cut, the shrubbery carefully trimmed
and the flower plots showing the skill
of an expert gardener.
In the rear of the mansion are ample
stables approached by a broad, smooth,
HOME OF ARTHUR SEWALL
winding driveway. In the stalls are a
goodly number of fine carriage horses
and a few speedy trotters, for Mr.
Sewall, like most sons of the Pine Tree
State, is a lover of good horseflesh.
The interior of the Sewall home
shows evidence of the artistic tendencies
of Mrs. . Sewall. On the walls hang
many fine paintings and a number of
water colors which are products of Mrs.
Sew all's brush. The many photographs
of American scenery show that Mrs,
Sewall has used her camera with good
results.
There have been more visitors at the
Sewall mansion within the past few
weeks than there had been for years be
fore, for the Sewalls lived rather exclu
sively and their doors were opened only
on some such occasion as that when
President Harrison visited Bath. The
vice presidential candidate is distinctly
a home man and spends much of his
leisure in the company of his semi-invalid
wife, to whom he is devoted. He
is a member of the Sagadahoc club,
Bath's only social organization of the
kind, and he also holds membership in
several New York clubs, but he visits
the local club as rarely as he does those
of the metropolis. When he is not at his
home or in his office, he is most likely
sitting behind a pair of splendid bays
speeding between the two points.
WONG CHIN FOO'S NEW PARTY.
It Aims to Give the Suffrage to Chinese
Americans.
Mr. Wong Chin Foo is an educated
and eloquent Chinaman who now and
then bobs up from distasteful obscurity
into welcome notoriety. His latest ap
pearance was in Chicago, where he is
now laboring with the self imposed task
of founding a brand new political party,
which shall have as its object the ad
mission of Chinese residents to full cit
izenship. Mr. Foo launched his enterprise by
hiring a hall, an indisputable evidence
of rare political sagacity. By means of
handbills he secured an audience of
about 200, and then with great fluency
he told his auditors all about his scheme.
After that he invited any one present
to take the platform. Several speakers
of the wild and woolly stripe embraced
the opportunity and talked of almost
every other subject than Chinese suf
frage. The audience guyed the speakers
and the meeting broke up without pass
ing even a resolution. Wong was disap-

pointed but not discouraged, and still
hopes to raise a party big enough to
alect a president next November.
It is hardly necessary to say that
Wong Chin is an enthusiast. He is of
middle age and has already had a ca
reer full of excitement. He was born in
middle China, but was adopted by an
American missionary and sent to New
York, where he was educated at Colum
bia college. Then he went back to
China, where he secured a government
position as interpreter. He plotted
against the reigning dynasty, hoXvever.
was found out and got out of the coun
try just in time to escape losing his
head. Since then he has staid in
America for his health. He has written
for the newspapers and lectured -casionally,
but has managed to get into
trouble on several occasions.
In San Francisco he incurred the dis
pleasure of the Highbinders by exposing
their methods of importing Chinese
girls. They set a price on his head, and
he has kept away from the coast ever
since. In New York he gained fame by
combating Denis Kearney of sand
lots fame. Later he found a haven in
Chicago. This is Wong's first appear
ance as a political leader and possibly
his last.
