Judge Parker is iu luck, finan cially speaking. The Supreme (?ourt of New York has given him hvo coin in issionersliip appoint ments, worth fromßs,oooto 87,000 each. At this rate he will soon fcave a law practice as large as a United States Senator's. Illinois having raised 850.<>00 towards the McKinley memorial to be built at Canton, Ohio, it is now stated that the fund of sf>oo,- 000 has been secured. This is the largest sum of money ever raised in so short a time to build a monu ment for a President. It is pleasant to note that owing lo the steady increase in railroad traffic some 30,000 railway em ployes, who were laid off last spring, have returned to work, most of them in shops. The Pen nsylvania road has taken back 11,- 000 men. After considerable discussion the American Federation of Labor, in session in San Francisco, has voted lo aid the striking textile workers HI Fall River, Mass., to the extent of 87- r » 000. As the mills are open for all who wish to work it seems unnecessary to prolong the strike. The Federation considered a gov ernment pension for all persons over sixty who have earned no more than SI,OOO ayear, by paying (hem 812 a month. Two hundred farmers of Dunklin county, Missouri, have petitioned Jhe legislature of that state to cede Iheir county to Arkansas, as ''they are too self respecting to reside in a state which has gone Republi can." This is taking defeat pretty hard, but it is a questiion whether a state would be allowed to cede a county to another state even if dis posed to do so, and even if the reason were sane. A short time ago it was said that Gen. Black would be made com misioner of Pensions, to succeed Mr. Ware, since the President wishes for a younger and more act ive man aft the head of the Civil Service Bureau. Notwithstanding this statement it is now said that Senator Cockrill, a man consider ably older than Gen. Black, is likely to be made the chief of the Civil Service. There must be a mistake somewhere. Only the President knows who will be the new commissioners. A Frightened Horse. Running like mad down the street 'lumping the occupants, or a hundred sther accidents, are every day occur ences.

Many men and women are constantly subjected to what they commonly term "a continual strain" because of some fiuancial or family trouble. It wears and distresses them both mentally and physi cally, affecting their nerves badly and bringing on liver and kidney ailments, with the attendant evils ot constipation, loss of appetite, sleeplessness, low vitality aud dispondeney. They cannot, as a rule, get ride of this ''continual strain," but they can remedy its health destroy ing effects by taking frequent d .sea of Green's August Flower. It touts up the liver, stimulates the kidneys, insures healthy bodily functions, gives villi and spirit to one's whole being, and event ually dispels the physical or mental dis tress caused by that "continual strain."

Our best papers are made of these rags and our common ones of wood pulp, which is obtained by grinding and macerating huge blocks from some of our soft Avooded forest trees.—National Geographic Magazine. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER i, 1904. The rtrat LoromoHr. In Malar. | The lirst locomotive used in thf state of Maine came from England, having been built at the works of Hob ert Stephenson & Co. in the year 1835, and made its first trip over the Bangor Oldtown and Milford railroad 011 Aug 10, 1837. This road was then generally known as the "Veazle road," and the track was made of wooden rails strapped with iron. The shackles used to connect the engine and cars were made of three thicknesses of sole 01 belt leather held together by copper rivets and had a hole in each end so a? to hook over an upright stationary pin bolted or driven into a rigid beam ex tending from the end of the car. It it said that for a time the engine was run in opposition to a six ox team em- j ployed by a Bangor lumber dealer whe was not willing trt pay the rates charged 011 the railroad, and it was not until the management of the line canie to what he considered fait charges that he turned his traffic over to it. In Jlntnrf'ii Wondrrlnnd. There is but one Grand canyon. The name should never have been Riven to lesser gorges. The very fact that there Is a so called Grand canyon in Colora do Is misleading. "The Grand canyon of Colorado" does not sounfl much dif ferent from"the Grand canyon of the Colorado." Hence many people con fuse them. The canyon of the Colorado river, which flows through Arizona, forms the boundary line between that territo ry and California and then empties Into the gulf of California. It Is the grandest gorge in the world. In It 3,000 of the wonderful gorges of the state of Colorado could be burled. With Its tributaries, many of which have never yet been explored, it would reach, if all the canyons were placed one after another, nearly around the world.—Four Track News. The Queer >l»ii. Of all forms of temper there is none more tiresome to deal with than that which is known as "queer." Down comes a bolt from the blue in the midst of apparent sunshine, and a sud den gloom and moroseness hide our friend completely from our view. An injured attitude is assumed, a mar tyr's halo carefully pinned on, and happy, everyday life becomes an im possibility. People who want to be loved or even liked should never be difficult. Society has not time, even if it had the inclination, to study their Idiosyncrasies and play up to all their petty prejudices. The passionate and even the sulky temper is forgiven soon er than the difficult one and is perhaps more possible to cure.—Edith H. Fow ler In London Mall. Lovely Liverpool I.tt)<N4»K. Can you or your readers Rive any explanation of the remarkably heavy percentage of splendidly handsome la dies to be seen In Liverpool's city thor oughfares? When I say handsome, I refer not only to facial beauty, but also to symmetry of form and perfect physique. Walk from the Central sta tion via Lord street to, say, the Land ing stage, any day in the week, and you will behold a phalanx of superb womanhood. I am a Manchester man by birth and sentiment, but I must con fess our city can produce nothing to compare with Liverpool's battalions of tall, lovely girls.—St. James' Gazette.

It may be stupidity, and It may be bravery, but a camel is as steady under fire as a tow er. The Persians mounted small can non 011 the backs of their camels and called them zambwahs, or little wasps. This fashion was adopted in India, and after the battle of Sobraon 2,000 of the 'artillery camels were captured. In the Indian mutiny the Itritlsh had a camel corps of 150 beasts, and 011 the back of each camel sat a Scotch hlghlander in his kilt. In 1878 the British used camels against the Afghans, and the govern ment paid for 00.000 camels that died in those campaigns. Many of these were driven to death by their owners In order that they might claim the government bounty. There was also a camel corps which did good service in the Sudan war against the niahdi.
