“How did town meeting go this
year?” inquired Capt. Dudley Patter-
shall, Just horn* from a voyage end
coming to headquarters for informa
tion of what had happened of Inter
est while he had been away.
“W-a-a-a-a-1, Cap'n,” began Grindle
the storekeeper, “th' annual meeting
of the legal voters o' this town, to meet
an* act upon certain articles to-wlt,
namely, ain't nothin’ what It used to
be. Times is changed wonderfully,
'specially since the war broke out.
“Town meet'n' nowadays Is gettin*
to be as decorious as th’ Bible class
which meets in th' small vestry di
rectly after preachin’ services, to
which all adults are Invited.
"They ain't no winders broke, nor
nd stove tipped over, nor the mod'rator
don't have to suspend consideration of
article 21 while he goes down on th’
floor an' Impresses some dt-zen as to
proper parl'mentary procedure by bang-
in* him over th’ head with a caulkin’
mallet, used In more peaceful mo
ments as a gavel.”
“Yes, I see It done,” put tn Captain
Pattershall with a chuckle. “It used
to take an able man to do the mod-
ratin’.”
I “They was times,” continued Grin
dle, "when a woman couldn't g» by on
'tother side of the street from the
town hall without stickin' both fingers
in her ears, but this year there was a
row of 'em linin' th’ gallery an’ all lis
tenin', an' lookin' on an' knlttln*.
We've got a woman on the school board
—think o’ that!
“Th’ battle of Utnpteddiddy wan't
nothin’ to some of th' vl'lent collisions
between the Boshkelovis from the up
per end o’ th' valley an' the clammers
from down on th’ cape—but they ain't
nothin' like that now. Th’ hatchit is
buried in a carefully marked spot.
“An’ what do you think, cap’n, they
opened up th’ meetln' with prayer, an’
a slick prayer it was, at that Elder
Bates o’ the Baptis’ church, he prayed
fer ‘Pirut’ Pollard, th'mod’rator—that
he might preside over th’ dellb-ratlons
with wisdom an' JedginenL It ain't on
record that ol’ Pollard was ever
prayed for before—not that way. Th’
elder prayed for 'most everybody an’
everything an' then for who or what
he might have left out.”
i “Well, wasn't it a better town meet
ing than the old-fashioned kind?" in
quired Cap'n Pattershall.
i "W-a-a-a-a-1, I s'pose it was, in
epeakin’ o’ results an' good blzness
proceeding; but there seemed t’ be
somethin' lackin'—this war has upset
many old an* time-honored institoo-
tlons, somehow.”—Boston Globe.

Two Brave Marines.
On the first day of February, 1918,
there was an explosion in a seaplane
hangar on an aviation field near Wash

which set ablaze the clothing of a

Telephones In Canada.
A most remarkable increase Is
evi-
denced in the use of the telephone In
Canada during the past five years, ac
cording to a report recently laid upon
the table of the house of commons.
The number of telephones In use
throughout the Dominion In 1912 was
370.884. while In 1917 the number had
grown to 604.138. The number of tele
phone companies operating in 1912 was
683, and five yearn later there were
1.659 companies In operation. A total
of 889.572 miles of wire was In use
during the year 1912. In 1917 the wire
mileage was 1.708,202. The capitaliza
tion of telephone companies also shows
n great Increase In the five-year period.
In 1912 It was $42.278.851. while In
June, 1917. it was $79.121.702. The
revenue during the same period hnd
grown approximately $8,000.000. The
number of persons for each telephone
In the Dominion in 1912, was 19.3 and
In 1917, 13.4.
Cautious Galveston.
Many persona remember the destrac
tion of Galveston by a West Indian
hurricane which blew so hard It forced
the sea up Into the streets of the city
and thousands of Ilves wore lost. An
n protection against a similar disaster,
the city built a great sea wall. Thin
year It has begun nearly two miles
more of sea wall which will take near
ly two years to complete and which
will >-ost $2.000.00. After the great
storm of 1000, the citizens raised the
site of the city 17>4 feet by pumping
millions of tone of sand from the gulf.
Galveston han taxed itself for all these
colossal Improvements.—Exchange.

Mon Who Have' Accompllehed Great
Things Cannot Afford to Rest on
Their Laurels.
“We were talking about a young man
here in New York. Said one: ‘I’ll tell
you why that chap Is such a wonder.
The minute he winds up one big Job
he goes after another. He wastes no
time patting himself on the back for
past achievements. When he finishes
putting something over he turns
nround and says In regard to his own
performance—‘Oh. that wasn't much.
I have got to beat that. Now I must
get to work and really do something.’
Then he pitches Into a fresh Job as If
he hud never accomplished a thing in
his life.
“In other words, you have not only
got to do good work, but you have got
to repeat and keep on repeating If you
want the world to continue to respect
you.
“The other day a famous author was
telling me how he felt when his first
story was accepted. He said that with
in a few minutes the thought flashed
through his mind that he could not
stop—but must go on. One good story
must be followed by another and an
other and another—else his reputation
would die and he would be humiliated.
He said that the feeling was not exact
ly comfortable—that the prospect was
In a way terrible. ‘Being successful.’
he said, Is not easy. The successful
man advertises to the world that he
can do certain things well—and he
must go on making good or back off
the map. It’s a great sensation, a
great experience—worth almost any
thing—but It Isn’t a snap.’
“It Is the same way In business. The
salesman who sets a high mark has to
go right out and bent that mark or suf
fer by comparison with his own record.
He can’t sit down In a rocking chair
and devote the rest of his life to re
ceiving congratulations.
“Have you ever sat In a restaurant I
and compared your Job with that of a
waiter. Try it sometime. No matter
what your work is I nru sure you will
see the point If you watch the waiter
and think how exactly his work typi
fies yours. Take, for example, my Job
—that of an editor. An editor’s Job is
exactly like that of a waiter. He lias
to go and get something good and
bring it In. And after he has brought
It in he has to go right out and get
something more and bring that In. The
minute he sits down or stops to talk
unnecessarily with the guests, he
ceases to give as good service ns be
fore. Then the guests who praised him
a moment ago begin to growl. And so,
almost immediately, he has turned
from a good servant Into a poor one.
“This fits any line of human activity.
A continuous performance Is what Is
wanted. Nothing else counts.”—Sid In

In view of the widespread approval
of the Chamberlain bill, making it pos-
aible for our soldiers to wear medals
conferred by the French, it Is interest
ing to be reminded that, although the
Constitution forbade all those in the
service of the United States to accept
titles or decoratious from foreign
rulers, a strong party In our first sen
ate wished to bestow almost royal title
upon government officials.
A serious debate arose over the
manner In which Washington should
be addressed, and on April 23. 1789.
a committee was appointed to consider
the matter. Among the titles urged
were "Hla Highness, the President of
the United States of America and Pro
tector of the Rights of the Same,” “His
Elective Highness,” etc., and a cano
pied throne was to be erected for his
use in the senate. Mtnbers of that body
were to be “Your Highness of the
Seaate,” the sergeant at anus was to
be rechristened the “Usher of the
Black Rod,” and representatives "Your
Highness of the Lower House.”
John Adams, we are told in the Jour
nal of WllUr.m Maclay, led the so-
called “Court party,” which wished to
borrow the forms of the British mon
archy for our Infant government. His
mbst zealous supporter was Richard
Henry Lee of Virginia. Maclay and
Robert Morris were the first senators
from Pennsylvania.
The matter rested until after the
formalities of Washington's Inaugura
tion were settled. Under the first plan
the clergy could attend only as spec
tators, but this was flnnlly overruled
on a strong protest front the ministers
of New York. o An Interesting sidelight
on the times Is given by John Randolph
of Virginia, who as a boy witnessed
the inauguration of Adams as vice
president. «
The controversy over the titles came
to a head on May 1 when the clerk of
the senate begun to read the minutes.
"Ills Most Gracious Speech,” he suld,
referring to Washington's Inaugural
address. Blank surprise showed In the
eyes of many of the senators. Jeffer
son, the great champion of democracy,
was absent In Europe. Maclay rose to
his feet.
"The words prefixed to the presi
dent's speech are the same that are
usually placed before the speech of his
Britannic majesty,” he said. "I know
they will give offense. I consider them
Improper. I therefore, move that they
