things in quiet, sedate Manchester. [ 
have heard whisperings of a certain sta- 
tion agent whose name we will not men- 
tion who won a bet on Monday’s town 
election. Much to his surprise he re- 
ceived a well laden envelope through the 
mail next morning the contents of which 
sounded very much like loose coins. 
Our good friend wasn’t ‘‘on,’’ so he 
readily paid the overdue postage of 3 
cents. On opening the suspiciously 
sounding and suspiciously shaped envel- 
ope he was chagrined to find coins of 
various foreign denominations, Canadian 
and English pennies, pocket coins, etc , 
in payment of the 50 cent bet he had 
won.

Monday afternoon on the common. 
Librarian D.. L. Bingham had just cast 
his ballot. George F. Allen was on his 
way to the hall to cast his. 
““Let’s see,’’ said Mr. Bingham, 
*“ how old are you?”’ 
“* Fighty-two,’’ was Mr. Allen’s reply. 
“*T can beat you by a dozen years’ 
was Mr. Bingham’s retort. 
Just think of it, —94 years old, and 
just as sprightly as most men at 60.

Selectmen Organize. 
The board of Selectmen met Tuesday 
evening and organized with the choice of 
Edward S. Knight as chairman, and 
Walter R.. Bell, clerk of the board. 
Mr. Knight was chairman last year and 
he handled the town’s business in a most 
creditable and efficient manner. 
Mr. Knight will have charge of the 
Poor-in and Poor-out departments; Mr. 
Swett is a committee of one on streets, 
and Mr. Bell has charge of Tuck’s 
Point. 
The Board will meet this year on 
Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9, in-, 
stead of on Thursday, as heretofore, and 
also on the last Saturday afternoon of 
each month. 
Yesterday morning the Board met and 
appointed A. B. Dunn to have charge of 
the townclock; E. P. Stanley as burial 
agent for Indigent Soldiers. 
A license was granted to J. A. Lodge 
and W. R. Bell to conduct a bowling 
alley in the Knight building on Beach

RANDOM THOUGHTS. 
Continued from page 3 
ene and gracious. Had old Rome done 
justice to her conquered provinces~and 
to her own people, the Goth had never 
thundered at her gates; she prepared the 
way for her own downfall by her injustice 
and tyranny over weaker peoples. The 
principle is one that needs to be kept in 
mind by the American people. <A nation 
that is unjust to any race, however back- 
ward and degraded, that is untrue to its 
plighted faith, sows the seeds of dissolu- 
tion; the harvest may be long in coming, 
but in the end nothing can stay it. 
vu ww w 
There are quacks and mountebanks 
in religion, as well as in medicine and 
philosophy and science; and they are 
likely to abound when faith is low, and 
when civilization, however imposing 
outwardly, is decaying within, as in the 
times of the later Roman empire.

We think of Milton as the scholar, 
the statesman, the great epic poet. But 
he was also an educator, one who put — 
a new spirit into education, who did 
much to lift it out of formality and bar- 
renness and make it a life and power. 
It is not beyond the truth to say that he 
has been the inspirer of great educators 
down to our owntime. A better defini- 
tion of education than Milton’s it would 
be difficult to give: ‘‘I call a complete 
and generous education that which fits a 
man to perform justly, skillfully, and- 
magnanimously, all the offices, both pri- 
vate and public, of peace and war;’’ 
words worthy of being written in gold in 
every schoolhouse in our land; such an 
education would change in a generation — 
the face of the civilized world. 
Assessors Organize.
