A Bad Practice

The Reporter has-taken the op­portunity on a former occasion to make iteelf plain on the snbject of **chain'* letters.'" It'hasTTeen" 80 long since the matter was last brought to onr attention that we bad supposed and hoped the disgasting practice had forever been abandoned; bnt no snch good news: for the very past week this practice has been re­vived witbin our midst.

If there were the least bit of good that conid possibly cotne froQi a practice of this sort,' we would not bave a single word to say, bnt nothing good can be said concerning the matter, conse­quently on general principles we are opposed to it. The prevail­ing thought in many of these letters is."copy it and see what will happen." Can it be possible that tfaere is superstition enough among our people, today to be­iieve that anything will happen— just because this letter is answer­ed or is not answered? We think not!

These letters are always anony­mous, and the only way of guess­ing who wrote them is that the band-writing sometimes 'Ogives it away." The best thing possible that can be done in this matter is to "break the chain," for we feel sure that one's mind can be much more profitably employed, even if nothing better can be done than—reading war news.

One Way Suggested to Rednce Oor Town. Tazes

Mr.'Editor: We noticed in your paper a few

weeks sinc'e an article on taxa­tion.

There has been introdoced in the present Session of the Gener­al Court a bill, which if it be­comes a law, will greatly redtice taxes on bonds and other intan­gible properties. This will throw the burden of taxes npon real estate and thus increase the far­mer's tax. ;

We think the present a good time to cut town expenses, and fnlly agree with the suggestion that the town cease to light the roads of the toWn;

Under the present law, all ve­hicles are required to carry lights thus doing away with the need of public lighting.

The Village Precinct warrant contains an article to light its atreets. and we trust the tax pay­ers will carefully consider this and any other method by which taxes may be reduced.

Welcome Appalachians !

A special train brougbt about 55 members of tfae Appalachian Club, of Boston, here last Friilay eyeoipg, to spend tbe week-end and Washington Birthday. Several of the members

-climbed Mt. Crotched SaturdayT and otber parties weot oo snoW'Sboe ex­cursions, skating and other winter sports. They held a eocial dance and party at tbe town hall io the .evening. Tbey made headquarters at the Maplehurst IDD.

Ideal weatber prevailed and gave great opportunity for outdoor winter pleasures, wbicb were enjoyed alike by old aod young.

Thia club consists of eighte«D hun­dred members, who are devotees of all open air sporta ; these Tisiting An trim belonged to the SDOW sboe sec­tion of the club.

Tbey returoed to Boston enthusias­tic over the attractions of onr town and tbe comfortable Ion which enter­taioed tbem.

Annual Warrants

Tbe annual warrants for tbe Town,' School and Precinct meetings were postod Saturday. The Town war rant contaios 27 articles and a bit longer tban usual. Tbe chief articles of interest relate to a new sidewalk on Poor's Hill; street ligbtiog ; Browo Tail Motb esterminatioo: electric light 00 the engine bouse to bum tbe same time as tbe street lights; en­larging thc public dumping grounds near tbe Cootobcook River ; Old Home Day observaaee, and letting of tbe town hall. The sehool warraot coo-tain the usual articles of routine busi* ness. . The Precinct warrant, in ad--dition to the usual articles contains the foll'iwing: "To see if tbe Pre­cinct will Vote to light its streets for the year ensuing, oslog tbe same number of lights as now nsed," and also ao article io regard to water meters.

When Harry Fenton opened a law ofDce In the metropolis he encouraged himself with the statement he had once read that the average lawyer's Income was in tbo neighborhood of three thousand dollars. Thai was all right, but it omitted to add that the colossal incomes of the leading lights swelled the average; ia other words, that this Income was distributed among the profession very irregular* Iy Indeed.

Three months and three clients had began to raise in his mind serious prob­lems as to his winter's offlee rent when, one moming, the prettiest girl -that he had ever seen entered his Uttle place.

"What can I do for you, madam?" asked the man, bewildered both by the apparition .inU by the melancholy thought that he could not charge a pretty girl as much as he would charge her father.

"You are a lawyer, are you not?" asked the girl, sitting down and look-.ing helplessly at him. "I wanted—I wanted to go to an unknown lawyer. You see, I am well-known about here. My father is a lawyer."

'Tou havo come to the right place, madam," said Harry grimly.

."Well, it's like this," said the girl. "'Mf father married late in life. He Is nearly eighty nov,-, and he has fal­len into the power of a dreadful woman—Madame Charmeuse, the Me­dium."

"Who (Rdvertises in the Sunday papers?"

"Yes. She claims to put him In communication with his wife—my step-mother, you know—by automatic writing. My mother died when I was bom, and father maried again, a.id his second wife died, and—well, last night both of them wrote to him."

Out of the girl's incoherence Harry gathered the following facts: His is Iter's name was Luey Lawrence, and her father had been a noted lawyer, in ' his day. He had begun to investigate Spiritualism, and the "Medium" had begun to send the old man notes, in

brougbt, it he'thinks he can convinoa them. Only, you see the Charmeus* woman is too cunning to write thosie communications when anyone else ia there." '

She brougbt Harry the letter tho following day, and it was arranged that^ he shouia call the next evening at^ the fiouse, where a seance was to ber' held.

He could not avoid some trepldatical | when he was shoVn into tbe room. Mr. tiawrence, the old lawyer, waa seated in his chair, and, near him. a creature In a black frizzled wig with a • pair of singularly penetraUng grew eyes which, tumed on him, apprizias him at once that the Charmeuse wa» on guard, and that there would be s a ; "commurlcations" worth mentlonlntp tnat erening. .-

••Father, this is my triend Mr. Fen-j •on. who is anxious to study splrittH

alistlo phenomena," said the. girl, tair troduclng Harry.

;*! am pleased to meet yon, air." said the deluded old man, rising ft«vi extending his hand warmly. "Madantat Charmeuse, permit me to present Mr-; Fenton. Yes, sir, we are in a positloai to know beyond douht that the deadi retum, tb manifest themselves by th«^ hand of the living. You are acquaints ed with automatisin?" {

"Not yet," said Harry, ^ > "It is not likely that you yourseilf

will receive a communication at first*"; said Mr. Lawrence. "It takes time t # inake the spirits aware that you arsJ here. But if you concentrate hard yoir may assure yourself that you will draw: pure spirits'down to these earth-boua* regions—but let us begin," he endedJi Uking his seat at a small teble.

The "Medium" followed suit witla poor grace; and, a sheet of paper fiav.^ Ing been placed untier her hand, andi a pencil beside it, the lights wei«» tumed down..

It was creepy—Harry acknowledge)!! that. But the thought of Miss Lucy-had somehow become an inspiration ta> him. He felt that he must save her fortune from the grasp of the harpy* opposite him. Once his hand met her» and he ventured a silent pressure or good-will. He thought it was returned before the girl drew hers away.

"I'm going into a trance," an­nounced Madame Charmeuse. "I'm going—soing—hello folks!"

The last was in a thin, squeaky-voice which made Harry jumpjp hiat chair.

"That's Joey, the Indian boy," est. ifeffl=it cftjr;-?-! a | ^ " ' « ^ > ^ _ > i plained Mr. Fenton. "He always cornea. 'MrX!\y^J\':7W t ^ ~ ' Ij ^ -s. ' *o announce who is pr.-;scrt." %lj_0iy^^'^ *^^^^'^'^^ '" "'2 can't do mucli tonight." saidt

"Mv Wlfe'n W r l t l n n ! " automatic writins. instructing him to leave all his money to her. instead of to his daughter The old man, who was shrewd enough in other ways, had shown .reluctance to comply with his second wife's wishes. Whereupon the spirit of the first wife,., the girl's mother, had appended her name to a similar communication, stating in posi­tive terms that no money was to be left to her daughter, since her nature needed to be developed through pover^

"And if you can help me in some way I shall he so grateful,' pleaded the {firL "It isn't that I want the money. But it is terrible that my father's fortune should go to that horrible Charmeuse woman, a dreadful greedy impostor."

"Have you any letter that your mother ever wrote?" asked the young man.

The glrl reflected. "Yes. Father •howed her one of mothei's letters once," she answered. "I believe I can get It for yon."

"One more question. Is It possible for yon to bring me to one of these seaneea?" asked Harry.

"Why, of course," replied the glrl. I "Bother is delighted to ha\1> people

"Papa, perh.ips It would be better' to turn up the lights," said Lucy-quickly. And. tho lights, turned up* showed Madame Charmeuse just com­ing out of her doze.

"Did anybody come?" inquired th«5< woman.

"No." answered the old lawyer. "The> influences were antagonistic. Joey saicE they couldn't—"

'"What's this?" cried Harry, snatch­ing up the paper under the "Medi­um's" hand.

There certainly was writing on it "My wife's writing:" exclaimed old Mr. Lawrence, holding up the paper to> the Ras. "Dear husband." ho read. "I write to tell you to leave all your money to Lucy. The spirits that told-you not to wero lying spirits using my name. Don't give them acy further chance, but compare my handwritine with theirs."

Good Lord!" muttered Mr. Law­rence, staring in amazement at tho writing, as the "Medium" slipped quiet­ly out of tho room, pausing only long: enough to make a threatening gesture>~ at Harry.

"How caa I ever thank you?" ssked; Lucy six weeks later. "Father hae-taken tbo message to heart and be^ believes Madame Charmeuse has evit^ spirits and won't see her again. And.' you have done all this."

"You can repay me amply," Harrj-answered. "You see, that case I got-unexpectedly for the Langbury Corpor­ation bas encouraged me to suggest, that—do you prefer gold or iflatinunt,. dear?"

When Harry Fenton opened a law office in the metropolis he encouraged himself with the statement he bad once read that the average lawyer's Income was in tho neighborhood of three thousand dollars. That was all right, but it omitted to add that the colossal incomes of the leading lights swelled the average; In other words, that this Income was distributed among the profession very Irregular­ly indeed.

"What can I do for you, madam?" asked the man, bewildered both by the apparition r.r-i by the melancholy thought that he could not charge a pretty girl as much as he would charge her father.

"You are a lawyer, are you not?". asked the girl, sitting-down and jook-lag.-beIpJe8sIjt...at.~iirHT wanted to go to an unknown lawyer. You see, I «m well-known about here. My father is a lawyer."

"You havi come to the right place, madam,"'said Harry grimly.

"Yes. She claims to put him in communication with bis w-ii'e—my Btep-mother, you know—by automatic writing. My mother died when I was born, and father maripd Si-iin. .':-;c3 h!^ second wife died, and—well, last night both of them wrote to him.."

A lady who writes essays for a New '7ork newspaper says for the beneflt ot the man who wlahes to make a woman care for him: "Critlclre her taste tn dress. This will prove to her that you are Inter­ested In her appearance."

If you long to make her love you

TcU her that ber h a t l o o k a cheap;

If she thinks but little ot you

You can make her pulses t e s p "

By dlsiTustcdly de-clartns

Pink to be her proper hue.

Or If pink Is what she's wearing

TcU her s h e should dresa IB blue.

Tell_ her that It "" m a R e s" "you

grouchy To behold her

homely waist* Gently hint that sha

looks slouchy And appears devoid of taste;

She may seem tc hear you sadly, Sho may simulate a huff.

But she'll l e a m to love you madly If you criticise enougrh.

Say her tootsies are mlsmated, Tell her that her stockings sag;

Let It candidly be stated That her roat hangs like a bag;

To some quiet corner take her And there criticize her skirt

If I f l s your'wish to make her Love so hard her heart will hurt.

W e are permitted to publish in this announcement ' extracts from the letters of five women. All have been, recently received unsolicited. Gould any evidence be. more, convincing?

1 HODGDON, M E . ^ " I had pains in both sides and such a soreness • I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached aiid I

•was so nervous I could not sleep, and I thought I never would be any better until I submitted to an operation,'but I commenced taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and soon felt like-aa&w-•womarL"—^Mrs. HATWABD SOWBKS, Hodgdon, Me.

2 SHBLBY-\'ILLE, KY.—^"I suffered from a severe female trouble. • My right side hurt me badly-^ it was flnaUy decided that I

must be operated upon. When my husband leamed this he got a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound forme, and after taking it a few days I got better and continued to improve until I am now welL"—Mrs. MOLLIE SMITH, R.F.D., Shelbyville, Ky.

3 HANOVER, PA.—"Hie doctor advised a severe operation, but my • husband got me Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I

experienced great relief in a short time. Now 1 feel like a new person and can do a hard day's work and uot mind it."—Mrs. ADA WILT,, 303 Walnut St, Hanover, Pa.

4 DE0ATTn», I I I . - " I was sick in bed and thre¥of the best physi- _ • cians said I would have to be taken to the hospital for an oper­

ation as I had something growing in my left side. I refused to sub­mit to the operation and took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com-

' pound—and it worked a miracle in my case, and I tell other women what it has done for me."—Mrs. LAUHA A. GBISWOLD, 2437 Easb William Street, Decatur, 111.

5 CLEVELAND, Omo.—"I waa very irregular and for several year* • my side pained me so that I expected to have to undergo an op­

eration. Doctors said they knew of nothing that would help me. "I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-' table Compound and I became regular and free from pain. I am thankful for such a good medi­cine and -will always give it the highest praise."— Mrs. C. H. GRiTFiTn, 1568 Constant St., Cleveland, 0. lUMlB^Write to LTDIA E.PIXKHAH MEDICIXE CO.

HENRT HOWIAND

HARD LOT

The lot of the bard I l dreadfully hard, ' Of all the lotB his is the worst;

When there comea to hla mind A flne thought he -ndll flnd

That It came to some dead poet flrst.

For example, suppose That he looks at a rose

Left bloominsr alone In the fall; w n i It pay him to s in? Of the beautiful thing?

Tom Moore beat hlm to I t that's all.

If he looks at the sea In Its mad momenta he

Must sadly t u m back from the sbore; He m a y hanker to wrtte Of its terrible might.

But Byron baa ^ done It befora.

He may contemplate man Aa the bard only can.

And dream ot his skill and hia seopei. But there he must l e a m To curb his concem.

For the subject Is covered by Fop*.

No matter how bard The heart of the bard

In his moments of ecstasy beats, He win flnd In the end That he has to contend

With Shakespeare or Shelley or Keats.*

•Not to mention Wordsworth. Scott. B u m s , Longfellow, Poe and other l lhu-trlous dead ones.
