BICYCLE SAUNDRIES, ALL KINDS OF REPAIRING, A. F. Morse & Son, Hallowell CHANCE FOR YOUNG MEN. The recent publication of the tremen- dous profits made last year by Carnegie and the still better prospects for the coming year has tended to call attention to the facts that while most business men have not realized large profits, here and there are striking, exceptions which have probably never been sur- passed in the history of the world. There are a number of illustrations in the shoe and leather trade of speedily acquired fortunes and, to their credit be it said, those who have outstripped their fellows in this way have never been accused of enjoying an unjust ad- vantage, except such as came to them properly through tbe superiority of tlieir product or of the business methods they employed. While many are in tbe habit, there- fore, of calling attention to the “good old times” when tradesmen and busi- ness men iu general, as they claim, had a better chance than they have at pres- ent, it is gratifying to know that some such opportunities still exist, and that success when it is attained is usually far more marked than could be hoped for in former generations. The shoe manufacturer, the tanner of the morocco manufactures who, fifty years ago, after a life-time of close application to his calling, acquired a few hundred thous- and dollars was considered “ rich” and exceedingly fortunate in bis business transactions. To-day all these branches of the industry have many conspicuous figures who have passed the million mark and, in not a few instances, they have doue so within half a dozen years past. Instances are not wanting where what was apparently a dismal failure was speedily turned into a brilliant suc- cess. True, profits are very close, but the volume of business can be increased, and it has been from wise and judicious expansions of this kind that most of the profit has been realized. We are accustomed to admire the genius of a successful military com- mander—and properly so—but bow often do we forget that our own indus- try has thousands of representatives who display quite as superior acumen and ability for commanding as did Wellington, Napoleon, Grant and other great leaders. Think, for example, what it means to handle a factory pro- ducing 5000 pairs of shoes a day, or the manufacture of an equal number of dozen of goat skins. A leading moroc- co maufacturer once informed us that in the early days of his now brilliant career, when he was building up a reputation for his product, he frequently threw in a single day $50,000 worth of goatskins, which did not come out pro- perly so that the leather was calculated to be a credit to him, into the furnace or destroyed it in some other way. Is it any wonder that his product today has i world-wide reputation, and he is many times a millionaire! A man who values bis good name and the reputation of his product so highly surely deserves to have fortune smile upon him. The important point in this connec- tion which we desire to emphasize, however, is that what has been done can be done again, and ihe young busi- ness man of to-day has every reason to feel that if lie has the requisite ability and courage lie can achieve success, even though there are grave obstacles in the way. The men who are the mil- lionaires of to-day were the poor boys of half a century or less ago, and who shall say that the millionaires and suc- cessful men in the shoe and leather trade of the next generation will not be the poor boys of to-day. Conditions change and have changed in every age in the world, but they must be met and met bravely.—Shoe and Leather Facts. day of tlieir home-keeping the girls gathered the big yellow pumpkins from the field and laid them in a pile near the back door. While resting from their labor they amused themselves by cutting two hideous jack-o’-lanterns from large pumpkins, each seeking to outdo the other in carving the grotesque features. They stuck them on poles, fixing the candle inside, and made ready to aston- ish their father on his return by show- ing the grinning ogres at the window. While Endurence prepared the simple supper and set the house to right for the night Prudence went out to drive home the cow and sheep. She had to go farther than she had expected, and, as she came near a fence she was startled to see three Indians on the other side talking earnestly, gesticulating, and pointing now and then toward the log- house in the clearing. Prudence was alarmed by their suspi- cious conduct. Turning back, unseen by them, she fled homeward and told her sister what she had seen. “They’ve found out father and mother are gone away, an’ they’re coming here to steal, an’ p’r’aps to kill us,” the two said to each other. For a minute the frightened girls knew not what to do. The jack-o’- lanterns were lying in a corner of the room, and, like ;pi inspiration, it came to Endurance that with these horribly grinning faces they could scare away the Indians. Near the back door was a pit, dug for storing potatoes, and now covered with boards and brush. Taking their jack-o’-lanterns, they scrambled into the pit, and concealed the entrance cleverly by drawing the boards and brush into place. After what seemed hours of waiting and listening, the girls heard stealthy steps about the house, which was in total darkness. Listen- ing intently, they heard Ue Indians in the garden, evidently Searching for them. Now was the moment for action. The candies were lighted in the jack-o’- lanterns, and they were thrust up through the brush. The Indians caught a glimpse of the frightful faces, and, filled with superstitious terror, fled, be- lieving they had seen devils. In the morning, when Prudence and Endurance ventured from their conceal- ment. they found in the garden path a tomahawk and three eagle’s feathers. The spot wras ever afterward regarded with superstitious awe by the Indians, not one of whom was ever known to approach the log house of the Places.— Selected.

Nearly two hundred years ago two girls, Prudence and Endurance Place, twin sisters, lived in the Cocheco Val- ley, New Hampshire. At that time the country from Portsmouth to Ossipee was an unbroken wilderness, and set- tlers were few in tbe beautiful valley. The Place family lived in a log house in a small clearing. Indians occasion- ally called at the house, but Mr. Place treated them courteously, and never sent them away empty-handed. When Prudence and Endurance were fourteen years of age Mr. and Mrs. Place, with the younger children, went on a visit to Portsmouth, leaviug the twins to keep house. During the first I mentioned the fact that I had read “ Lorna Doone” a second time, and en- joyed it better than the first, and he would probably think me an “Id fool. “Yes,” he replied; “ but I know a bigger one, who told me he had read it sixteen times, and meant to read it again. I often wonder whatever peo- ple see in that old-fashioned stuff to take such an interest in. They seem never to care for any other of my books, some of which are much better and more in- teresting. ‘Lorna Doone’s’ popularity was purely accidental. Tbe first edi- tion of 500 copies, in three-volume form received but scant notice. Only 200 copies could be sold in England, the price being thirteen shillings and .six- pence per copy. The other 300 were sent to Australia, and got rid of at one- third the price named. I gave my wife a full set, and have been offered ten guineas for it but would not sell it at any price. “The great run for it afterwards was due to accident. The junior member of my publishing firm read it a second time, and was so impressed with its peculiarities that lie got the consent of tbe firm to issue a cheap edition in one volume. “The Marquis of Lome had recently married the Princess Louise, when a book reviewer unauthorizedly stated that the book was written about the forefathers of Lome; and then every- body read it out of curiosity, and ex- hausted nearly a score of editions, and the demand has continued ever since, and it is now the only book I can get anything for.”—Monthly Review of Re- views. i CURES WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS. I Best Cough Syrup. Tastes Good. Use | In time. Sold by druggists. Living animals have newly been dis- covered at a depth in the ocean two miles greater than hitherto reached, and scientific men in Washington are agog over the achievement. Prof. Alexander Agassiz reports it from the South seas, where he is cruising in command of the United States fish commission steamer Albatross, engaged in the business of surveying the floor of tbe Pacific. Up to the present time no trawl-net has ever been lowered beyond three miles, but in this instance the deep-sea dredg- ing apparatus of the government vessel was sunk over five miles beneath the surface of the waves. The haul was made not far to the south of the Tonga islands. It is true that the animals brought up were only deep-sea sponges, but they suffice to suggest the existence in that abyssal region of much bigger forms of life. That huge sharks, some of them as much as 70 feet long and shaped like eels, dwell at depths as great as three miles is positively known, and the •same may be said of certain very large cep- halopods or poulps; these and other monstrous creatures are occasionally found floating on the surface of the sea. Why, then, should it not be supposed that strange fishes and other uncanny zoological specimens iuabit the more profound caverns of the ocean? It is the belief of Prof. Agassiz that they do. Some authorities are even of the opin- ion that some gigantic species of reptiles properly belonging to by-gone geologic epochs, such as the Ichthyosaur and Plesiosaur—the latter resembling in ap- pearance an enormous snake threaded through the body of a turtle—may yet find lurking places in those black and dismal marine abysses. A short distance south of the place where this wonderful dredge was made, tbe Penguin, an Australian survey ves- sel, found not long ago the deepest hole ever discovered in any ocean, barring only that recently fathomed by the United States ship Nero, between Guam and Manila. This cavern was struck off the Kennadecs, 300 miles north of New Zeland, and the sounding line registered 30,930 feet, or very nearly six miles. The name Tonga-Kermadec Deep has been given to it, and, on his way over those seas, Prof. Agassiz thought it worth while to drop a line for the sake of confirmatory evidence. He got 30,000 feet in one spot, and then decided not to try again the strain on the apparatus being too great. The Nero, surveying the proposed cable route between Guam and Manila, struck a hole, to which the name Nero Deep had been given, that was 31,500 feet just short of the six miles. This in fact, holds the record to date. Along the east coast of Japan extends a great marine valley, which continues on across the North Pacific, skirting the Aleutian Islands. Through this valley rushesthe Japan current, corresponding to the Gulf stream of the Atlantic, which makes warm the climate of south- ern Alaska. All along it remarkable depths are found the greatest of these be- ing south of the Aleutian chain, where soundings considerably exceeding five miles and a half have been made. Next in respect to profundity come tlie big- hole close to Porto Rico, on the north side of the island, and another on the south side of Cuba, immediately above which Admiral Sampson’s fleet hovered for so long while waiting for Cervera to come out of tlie bottle. These are the principal known holes on the ocean floor, and it is not likely that any deeper ones exist anywhere. Fifty years ago nothing worth men- tioning was known about the depths of the sea, and it was even imagined that it might be 100 miles deep or more, in spots. But definite knowledge on the subject is being steadily acquired by surveys—Uncle Sam at the present time has the Nero and Albatross engaged in this work—and a century from now the topography of the bottom of the,seas all over the world will be mapped with a fair degree of completeness in a general way, so as to show all the principal mountains and valleys, the soundings along lines of traffic, etc. Already it seems strange to consider that only half a century ago nothing was known about the physiographic contour of three-fourths of the earth’s surface. The Nero found a temperature ot 36 Fahrenheit in the depths of the Pacific, which was a record for cold, but the Albatross has beaten that. Tn 16,000 feet of water, to the north of the Mar- quesas, Professor Agassiz struck a bot- tom temperature of 34 degrees above the freezing point. One of the most in- teresting facts ascertained within recent years about the depths of the ocean is that the temperature three miles or so below the surface where the water has no motion whatever, remains about the same all the year, being never very much above freezing even at the equa- tor. Professor Agassiz says that the dredgings he has made thus far oil this expedition indicate that animal life is not so plentiful in the very deep basins as has hitherto been suppossed. This does not imply that there are no ani- mals even in the most profound abysses, but merely that tbe fauna is compara- tive! v scantv. COMPOSITION—THE CAT. CR0NJE, THE TYPICAL DUTCHMAN. Crouje was sixty-five years old when he surrendered. He has been promi- nent in all the history of the South Afri- can Republic as statesman and soldier. He refused, like Joubert, to take office under the British annexation of 1877. He was prominent in the war of 1880- 81. Since then lie had become a farmer on a large scale, owning over twelve thousand acres near Pretoria, which he ruled with military simplicity and with marked success. He kept a hospitable bouse, and with his quiet little wife en- tertained his friends. He was a mem- ber of the Transvaal executive govern- ment, and when the wrar broke out was second only to Joubert in military posi- tion. All the foreigners who saw- him speak of his pleasant manners, his cour- age, and his independence. The Eng- lish writers have given numerous de- scriptions of him since the war began. Mr. J. B. Robinson said of him that he “has in him the best blood of Europe. When the edict of Nantes drove the finest subjects ot France! into exile, many of them went to Holland and from there on to Africa. Picture to yourself a little man, quiet-looking, at first glance almost insignificant. When you first come in contact with him you might, for a moment or two, be inclined to dismiss him as a very ordinary man; but a few words from him show you, by their grasp, their decisiveness, that first impressions are wrong. As you look longer at him the type of the face seems familiar, and in a flash it comes to you that this is the kind of head that is seen in the paintings of the old Dutch mas- ters.”—Monthly Review of Reviews. [Verbatim copy of original child’s composi- tion.] The cat is a very interesting animal. He is a small fur dog that meows and has whiskers and several other thinks. He has four paws—to fore paws, and to behind ones, and a tail. He has been known for many years, twro of him having been said to be on the Ark, where he must have been tied up or what would have become of the ats? Cats don’t be cats until they are a ear old, when they stop being kittens hicli they are born as. It takes a kitten several weeks to get his eyes open if he doesn’t get drownded before that time, and he scratches when he is mad. My father says camels used to be cats but got their backs up one day and couldn’t get them down again and so became camels. I never heard camel meow but I suppose they can, because they can do most anything, having seven stomachs, and going many days without water. FRUIT INSTEAD OF CANDY. “I wish,” said the doctor the other day, as he watched a group of school children troop out of a candy store, where they had been spending tlieir pennies, “ that I could form a society among little folks in which each member would take a pledge to spend all his pocket-money for fruit instead of candy.” It seemed a funny way of put- ting it, didn’t it? But the physician was very much in earnest, and at the mo- ment it probably occurred to him that, children like clubs, an anti-candy club would he a very good one for them. He wanted to do two things— to stop tlieir eating the unhealthy sweet and to coax them to eat more fruit. \nfappIo-oi-- a banana or an orange can usually, one or the other of them be bought for the price of a little candy, and the fruit is much better in every way than the sweet.—New York Times. A DEER RETURNS TO CAPTIVITY. Early Friday morning, March 30, one of the deer in Good Will deer park was discovered on the wrong side of the fence. He acted as though he wanted to get back again but finally took fright and left the farm. He was followed by several boys, who hoped he could be re- captured, but this hope was abandoned and the boys returned. At that time the deer was east of the Kennebec? river in Clinton. Mr. Barnard delegated Harry Kimball and Hanscome to start out on snow shoes, thinking the creature might be overtaken in the deep snow and recaptured. These plucky youths followed the wanderer till late in tbe afternoon, and then left the chase. Tlie deer w-as then in the woods a mile and half from Good Will. Nothing further was heard of him until Monday, Apri 2, when he was seen leisurely walking up the railroad track toward the en closure he had once occupied. lie reached the wire fence and evidently wanted to get back. He had seen the world. To him it was one uninterest ing tract—a vast uninviting wilderness It took some time to decide the best thing to do; but Mr. Barnard can be relied upon in such an emergency. It was thought that if the gate could be left open as the deer went around the enclosure looking for a chance to enter he would pass through it, unless the other deer should pass out first. In order to prevent this, Hanscome, after opening the gate, laid down near it and covered himself with a waterproof coat The deer came to the open gate. Han scome moved. The deer passed by and made the journey around the enclosure again. He reached the open gate again —looked in—passed in. Mr. Barnai shouted to Hanscome, “ All right, Hanscome threw off the waterproof arose, and closed the gate. The cleer trotted leisurely toward the center of the park.— Good Will Record. President Angell stated before the Ecumenical Council that it is the duty of the United States to protect mission- aries as it would any other of its citi- zens. This is not denied. But it is equally certain that it will not be pos- sible to collect the indemnity from the Sultan unless he shall be convinced that the United States will resort to force in case he does not comply, and that fur- ther palavar is useless unless we are throroughly prepared for just that event. Judging by the past, the Sultan would yield if thoroughly convinced that the United States was in earnest; but some think that the game for advantage in Turkey which Russia, Germany and France are now playing, has led them to give the Sultan some intimation that they will prevent the intervention of a third party. Others see in the obstinacy the hand of Russia alone. Another report is that he would grant our claim if it were not that he would immedi- ately be swamped by the demands of the European governments, and that he would be willing to pay it by in- direction, such as purchasing a battle- ship of our builders, and smuggling in the idemnity under cover of payment for the ship, but that our government will have no concealment about it. These reports circulate, with no definite indication of their parentage. We think it extremely doubtful that any European government by any open act would incur the enmity of our nation in the matter, but probable that Russia would covertly aid the Sultan if she could. It is not impossible that if we should undertake a forcible settlement of tlie matter we should find oursealves involved in the complications which have paralyzed the efforts of the Euro- pean powers iu their recent dealings with Turkev.— The Advance. Gen. Greely of the Signal Service, criticised the organization of the army at Worcester, Mass., last week, claiming it was a political rather than a military machine. It seems as if Adjt. Gen. Corbin maintained himself iu that way, keeping men like the lamented Lawton iu tbe background aud apparently in- efficient men like Shafter in the front ranks. Gen. Greely considers the Ger- man service the best in the world, aud thinks our country should reorganize its army on a similar basis.

SAVED BY A PUMPKIN.
Nearly two hundred years ago two girls, Prudence and Endurance Place, twin sisters, lived in the Cocheco Val-ley, New Hampshire. A t that time the country from Portsmouth to Ossipee was an unbroken wilderness, and set-tlers were few in tbe beautiful valley.
The Place family lived in a log house in a small clearing. Indians occasion-ally called at the house, but Mr. Place treated them courteously, and never sent them away empty-handed.
When Prudence and Endurance were fourteen years of age Mr. and Mrs. Place, with the younger children, went on a visit to Portsmouth, leaviug the twins to keep house. During the first
I mentioned the fact that I had read “ Lorna Doone” a second time, and en-joyed it better than the first, and he would probably think me an “Id fool.

I often wonder whatever peo-ple see in that old-fashioned stuff to take such an interest in. They seem never to care for any other of my books, some of which are much better and more in-teresting. ‘Lorna Doone’s’ popularity was purely accidental.

Living animals have newly been dis-covered at a depth in the ocean two miles greater than hitherto reached, and scientific men in Washington are agog over the achievement. Prof. Alexander Agassiz reports it from the South seas, where he is cruising in command of the United States fish commission steamer Albatross, engaged in the business of surveying the floor of tbe Pacific. Up to the present time no trawl-net has ever been lowered beyond three miles, but in this instance the deep-sea dredg-ing apparatus of the government vessel was sunk over five miles beneath the surface of the waves. The haul was made not far to the south of the Tonga islands.
It is true that the animals brought up were only deep-sea sponges, but they suffice to suggest the existence in that abyssal region of much bigger forms of life. That huge sharks, some of them as much as 70 feet long and shaped like eels, dwell at depths as great as three miles is positively known, and the •same may be said of certain very large cep- halopods or poulps; these and other monstrous creatures are occasionally found floating on the surface of the sea. Why, then, should it not be supposed that strange fishes and other uncanny zoological specimens iuabit the more profound caverns of the ocean? It is the belief of Prof. Agassiz that they do. Some authorities are even of the opin-ion that some gigantic species of reptiles properly belonging to by-gone geologic epochs, such as the Ichthyosaur and Plesiosaur—the latter resembling in ap-pearance an enormous snake threaded through the body of a turtle—may yet find lurking places in those black and dismal marine abysses.
A short distance south of the place where this wonderful dredge was made, tbe Penguin, an Australian survey ves-sel, found not long ago the deepest hole ever discovered in any ocean, barring only that recently fathomed by the United States ship Nero, between Guam and Manila. This cavern was struck off the Kennadecs, 300 miles north of New Zeland, and the sounding line registered 30,930 feet, or very nearly six miles. The name Tonga-Kermadec Deep has been given to it, and, on his way over those seas, Prof. Agassiz thought it worth while to drop a line for the sake of confirmatory evidence. He got 30,000 feet in one spot, and then decided not to try again the strain on the apparatus being too great.
The Nero, surveying the proposed cable route between Guam and Manila, struck a hole, to which the name Nero Deep had been given, that was 31,500 feet just short of the six miles. This in fact, holds the record to date. Along the east coast of Japan extends a great marine valley, which continues on across the North Pacific, skirting the Aleutian Islands. Through this valley rushesthe Japan current, corresponding to the Gulf stream of the Atlantic, which makes warm the climate of south-ern Alaska. All along it remarkable depths are found the greatest of these be-ing south of the Aleutian chain, where soundings considerably exceeding five miles and a half have been made. Next in respect to profundity come tlie big- hole close to Porto Rico, on the north side of the island, and another on the south side of Cuba, immediately above which Admiral Sampson’s fleet hovered for so long while waiting for Cervera to come out of tlie bottle.
These are the principal known holes on the ocean floor, and it is not likely that any deeper ones exist anywhere. Fifty years ago nothing worth men-tioning was known about the depths of the sea, and it was even imagined that it might be 100 miles deep or more, in spots. But definite knowledge on the subject is being steadily acquired by surveys—Uncle Sam at the present time has the Nero and Albatross engaged in this work—and a century from now the topography of the bottom of the,seas all over the world will be mapped with a fair degree of completeness in a general way, so as to show all the principal mountains and valleys, the soundings along lines of traffic, etc. Already it seems strange to consider that only half a century ago nothing was known about the physiographic contour of three-fourths of the earth’s surface.
The Nero found a temperature ot 36 Fahrenheit in the depths of the Pacific, which was a record for cold, but the Albatross has beaten that. Tn 16,000
feet of water, to the north of the Mar-quesas, Professor Agassiz struck a bot-tom temperature of 34 degrees above the freezing point. One of the most in-teresting facts ascertained within recent years about the depths of the ocean is that the temperature three miles or so below the surface where the water has no motion whatever, remains about the same all the year, being never very much above freezing even at the equa-tor. Professor Agassiz says that the dredgings he has made thus far oil this expedition indicate that animal life is not so plentiful in the very deep basins as has hitherto been suppossed. This does not imply that there are no ani-mals even in the most profound abysses, but merely that tbe fauna is compara-tive! v scantv.
COMPOSITION—THE CAT.
CR0NJE, THE TYPICAL DUTCHMAN.
Crouje was sixty-five years old when he surrendered. He has been promi-nent in all the history of the South Afri-can Republic as statesman and soldier. He refused, like Joubert, to take office under the British annexation of 1877. He was prominent in the war of 1880- 81. Since then lie had become a farmer on a large scale, owning over twelve thousand acres near Pretoria, which he ruled with military simplicity and with marked success. He kept a hospitable bouse, and with his quiet little wife en-tertained his friends. He was a mem-ber of the Transvaal executive govern-ment, and when the wrar broke out was second only to Joubert in military posi-tion. All the foreigners who saw- him speak of his pleasant manners, his cour-age, and his independence. The Eng-lish writers have given numerous de-scriptions of him since the war began. Mr. J . B. Robinson said of him that he “ has in him the best blood of Europe. When the edict of Nantes drove the finest subjects ot France! into exile, many of them went to Holland and from there on to Africa. Picture to yourself a little man, quiet-looking, at first glance almost insignificant. When you first come in contact with him you might, for a moment or two, be inclined to dismiss him as a very ordinary m an ; but a few words from him show you, by their grasp, their decisiveness, that first impressions are wrong. As you look longer at him the type of the face seems familiar, and in a flash it comes to you that this is the kind of head that is seen in the paintings of the old Dutch mas-ters.”—Monthly Review o f Reviews.
[Verbatim copy of original child’s composi-tion.]
The cat is a very interesting animal. He is a small fur dog that meows and has whiskers and several other thinks. He has four paws—to fore paws, and to behind ones, and a tail.
He has been known for many years, twro of him having been said to be on the Ark, where he must have been tied up or what would have become of the ats? Cats don’t be cats until they are a ear old, when they stop being kittens hicli they are born as.It takes a kitten several weeks to get
his eyes open if he doesn’t get drownded before that time, and he scratches when he is mad. My father says camels used to be cats but got their backs up one day and couldn’t get them down again and so became camels. I never heard
camel meow but I suppose they can, because they can do most anything, having seven stomachs, and going many days without water.
FRUIT INSTEAD OF CANDY.
“ I wish,” said the doctor the other day, as he watched a group of school children troop out of a candy store, where they had been spending tlieir pennies, “ that I could form a society among little folks in which each member would take a pledge to spend all his pocket-money for fruit instead of candy.” It seemed a funny way of put-ting it, didn’t it? But the physician was very much in earnest, and at the mo-ment it probably occurred to him that,
children like clubs, an anti-candy club would he a very good one for them. He wanted to do two things— to stop tlieir eating the unhealthy sweet and to coax them to eat more fruit. \nfappIo-oi-- a banana or an orange can usually, one or the other of them be bought for the price of a little candy, and the fruit is much better in every way than the sweet.—New York Times.
A DEER RETURNS TO CAPTIVITY.
Early Friday morning, March 30, one of the deer in Good Will deer park was discovered on the wrong side of the fence. He acted as though he wanted to get back again but finally took fright and left the farm. He was followed by several boys, who hoped he could be re-captured, but this hope was abandoned and the boys returned. A t that time the deer was east of the Kennebec? river in Clinton. Mr. Barnard delegated Harry Kimball and Hanscome to start out on snow shoes, thinking the creature might be overtaken in the deep snow and recaptured. These plucky youths followed the wanderer till late in tbe afternoon, and then left the chase. Tlie deer w-as then in the woods a mile and half from Good Will. Nothing further was heard of him until Monday, Apri 2, when he was seen leisurely walking up the railroad track toward the en closure he had once occupied. lie reached the wire fence and evidently wanted to get back. He had seen the world. To him it was one uninterest ing tract—a vast uninviting wilderness It took some time to decide the best thing to d o ; but Mr. Barnard can be relied upon in such an emergency. It was thought that if the gate could be left open as the deer went around the enclosure looking for a chance to enter he would pass through it, unless the other deer should pass out first. In order to prevent this, Hanscome, after opening the gate, laid down near it and covered himself with a waterproof coat The deer came to the open gate. Han scome moved. The deer passed by and made the journey around the enclosure again. He reached the open gate again —looked in—passed in. Mr. Barnai shouted to Hanscome, “ All right, Hanscome threw off the waterproof arose, and closed the gate. The cleer trotted leisurely toward the center of the park.— Good Will Record.
President Angell stated before the Ecumenical Council that it is the duty of the United States to protect mission-aries as it would any other of its citi-zens. This is not denied. But it is equally certain that it will not be pos-sible to collect the indemnity from the Sultan unless he shall be convinced that the United States will resort to force in case he does not comply, and that fur-ther palavar is useless unless we are throroughly prepared for just that event. Judging by the past, the Sultan would yield if thoroughly convinced that the United States was in earnest; but some think that the game for advantage in Turkey which Russia, Germany and France are now playing, has led them to give the Sultan some intimation that they will prevent the intervention of a third party. Others see in the obstinacy the hand of Russia alone. Another report is that he would grant our claim if it were not that he would immedi-ately be swamped by the demands of the European governments, and that he would be willing to pay it by in-direction, such as purchasing a battle-ship of our builders, and smuggling in the idemnity under cover of payment for the ship, but that our government will have no concealment about it. These reports circulate, w ith no definite indication of their parentage. We think it extremely doubtful that any European government by any open act would incur the enmity of our nation in the matter, but probable that Russia would covertly aid the Sultan if she could. I t is not impossible that if we should undertake a forcible settlement of tlie matter we should find oursealves involved in the complications which have paralyzed the efforts of the Euro-pean powers iu their recent dealings with Turkev.— The Advance.
Gen. Greely of the Signal Service, criticised the organization of the army at Worcester, Mass., last week, claiming it was a political rather than a military machine. It seems as if Adjt. Gen. Corbin maintained himself iu that way, keeping men like the lamented Lawton iu tbe background aud apparently in-efficient men like Shafter in the front ranks. Gen. Greely considers the Ger-man service the best in the world, aud thinks our country should reorganize its army on a similar basis.

When you touch a luxury like ice, tlx New York people rebel at the work of the Trust; but in case of a necessit\ like oil, nothing is said or done. Possi-bly the uprising in New York may smash the ice trust; if so, there is hop< for the poor people where light and fuel are made subjects for the same unholy agencies.
The defeat of Mr. Quay was by u narrow margin of a single vote—not a very creditable showing for the Senate, nor for the presiding officer, Senatoi Frye, who voted for Quay. Senatoi Vest’s course in voting his convictions, while the claims of friendship were dic-tating otherwise^ will bring him the en-dorsement of many who have not often applauded him for his work in Congress.
At the annual dinner of the royal lit-erary fund in London May 2nd, Mark Twain, responding to the toast to litera- tuie in a humorous speech, said that now he was on the way to his own home he intended to run for the presi-dency, because there were not enough candidates yet in the field. The cable-gram which conveys this information here interjects the word “ laughter;” and now let us all laugh.
What Mayor Van Wvck of New York has been pleased to refer to as his pleas-ure trip to Maine is giving him a good deal of worriment of mind now that lx has got back and finds that the New Y'orkers do not look upon it as a pleas-ure trip at all, but are all connecting it with the ice trust and the sudden in-crease of the price of ice one hundred per cent. It will be remembered that Mayor Van Wyck’s fellow traveller was Mr. Morse the ice king, and that they visited all the principal places where tlx ice is harvested in the state.
They who are planning great celebra-tions in central places for “ Old Home W eek,” are making a mistake. Thi- week is for Maine, ami the majority who have gone out, went from the purely rural sections, and to these they will return. The few who are out for dress parade may seek the fuss and feathers of a big celebration, but in tlx little school districts, where many of the school houses have disappeared, the home gatherings will be held, and the hours spent in rehearsing the incidents of other days.— Maine Farmer.

In noting the fact that the number of newspapers iu the United States has increased, from 5871 in 1870 to 21,000 in the present year, the Washington Post remarks: “ We have no doubt that the amount of paper consumed every Sunday morning in 1900 exceeds the consumption of all the dailies during a week in 1870.” That is probably the case, but a better condition will prevail when we abandon the blanket dailies and return to the old 4-page publication. The man who pores through the columns of a Sunday daily, gains nothing of news or profit, and wastes his time.
The Campus-University of Maine: lion, llenry Lord of Bangor, president of the Board of Trustees, denies abso-lutely that there is the slightest founda-tion for the statement that the board is to ask for the resignation of President Harris. On the contrary, there has been considerable anxiety on their part that superior financial inducements might lead him to go elsewhere. So far as the students are concerned, the Cam-pus feels entitled to speak. Every stu-dent in the university feels sure that President Harris is just the right man for its head and that his resignation from any cause would be the severest loss with which it could meet. Speak-ing for the students, we trust that the day is far distant when he shall cease to be at its head.
The circumstance which renders the coming total eclipse of the sun on May 28, 1900, of special significance to thou-sands of people who might otherwise entirely overlook the occasion is the fact that the path of the moon’s shadow ovei the surface of the earth, or the track of the eclipse, is in such a convenient locality — namely, in our Southern States—as to render the places of visi-bility easily accessible. Instead of be-ing obliged to go to the ends of the earth, at a heavy expenditure of time and money, all the while running the risk of not seeing the eclipsed sun on account of prevailing cloudiness, we are fortunate this time to have the show ai homo in our own country. Some ot the weather prophets claim that the pre-sent cool weather is due to the approach-ing eclipse but as a general thing om warm days come with June.
President McKinley acted wisely in appointing Sanford B. Dole, governor of Hawaii. His long residence on the island aud intimate acquaintance with the needs of the people make his selection eminently fitting. Mr. Dole was the head of the provisional govern-ment after the overthrow of Queen Lilluokalani and later as head of the republic at Hawaii and is thoroughly conversant with the needs of the Terri-tory. It is fitting that those who have borne the brunt of revolutionary reform in Hawaii should receive recognition and authority in the new' order of things. Maine friends of Harold M. Sewall, who aspired* to the position, should re-member that Mr. Dole is a son of a Maine missionary to the Hawaiian Isl-ands.
Webster Davis, who resigned his office in the Interior department to plead the cause of the Boers, is per-forming that work with vigor and en-thusiasm. At a recent meeting in New York he expressed the wish that one hundred thousand Americans might arm themselves and go to the help of the Republics. He pronounced Paui Krug-er one of the grandest men alive, and Cecil Rhodes as a scoundrel. He also claimed that England “was pulling 11s around Europe as the tail to her kite.” McKinley he declared to be all right and said that the effort of British sym-pathizers to connect him with the Brit-ish effort to crush liberty, was a crime and ought to be resented by every American patriot. But while praising the President he thought there were some men about him who ought to be got rid of as quickly as possible.
One of the leading owners in the Skowhegan Electric Light Company stated, a day or two since, that in his opinion the recent fire by which that company and others suffered to the tune of $50,000 or more, was one of the many instances where it can be truly said, “ Rum did it.” The special train from down river, that evening, brought to our town a number of roughs who took the opportunity to come along to have what is sometimes called “ a good time.” A proper designation would be, to indulge in a disgraceful drunk. These men, or apologies for men, wandered about the town in squads, in a semi-intoxicated condition and it is much more than probable that one or more of them entered the mill yard and dropped a lighted match, a spark from a pipe or a cigar stump in the combus-tible refuse near the mill or in it, with the deplorable result.— Skoirhegan Re-porter.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
May 10th, 1900.
If confidence in himself and in the bill he advocates could of itself win, Senator Morgan would succeed in getting the Nicaragua Canal bill, which was passed in the House last week, through the Senate at the present session ; but it will require votes, which the exigencies of politics, or at least the will of political leaders have placed beyond Senator Mor-gan’s reach. Senator Allison stated the case in a nut shell, when he said, speak-ing for the majority: “ We want to adjourn in six weeks or less time, and we cannot permit new legislation to be brought forward and thus probably pro-long the session beyond the time we have determined upon bringing it to a close.”
The talk of a few Senators makes it reasonably certain that the Clark resolu-tion will not be voted upon in a hurry, and there is a possibility that it may not l»e voted upon at the present session.
Seeing no possibility of early action on the Nicaragua Canal treaty, by the Senate, Secretary Hay and the British Ambassador have signed an agreement extending the time in which ratifications of the treaty may be exchanged seven months from August 5, next.
The Senate, by a vote of 44 to 8, de-clared its approval of the clause of the Army Reorganization Bill, providing that the senior Major General command-ing the army shall have the rank and pay of a Lieutenant General, and ap-proved without a division, the clause providing that the Adjutant General of the Army shall have the rank and pay of a Major General. Although no names are used, everybody understand!- that these promotions are intended for General Miles and General Corbin, two officers who have little love for each other, and who have been on opposite sides of every army controversy con-nected with the war with Spain. T ( army reorganization bill also provides for an increase of 100 in the number of cadets at West Point, two from each state and ten at large; also for an in-crease in the artillery branch of the re-gular army. The curious thing about this legislation is that the minority would allow none of it to get through the Senate. Tne Minority apparently underwent a change of mind.
Ben. Butler once said that Congress had never enacted a law that a four-horse team could not be driven through. That may have been an exaggeration, but it is a fact that thorough legislation is almost unknown. Public attention is seldom called to the errors of omission and commission in minor laws, but who re-members an important law passed that did not have to be followed by legisla-tion to wipe out flaws or fill up gaps? Although the bill providing a form of government for the territory of Hawaii was before Congress for months, it is far from being even a reasonably per-fect law, and additional legislation must be had before the law goes into effect. The new law' failed to provide for a col-lector of customs for Hawaii, although it establishes four ports of entry; i< leaves a doubt as to the authority of Sec-retary Gage to pay the Hawaiian public debt as provided by the annexation treaty ; also as to the right of the Post-master General to extend the postal laws to the island, without further legislation. One of the things that Congrsss ought to have is a thoroughly competent bill editor, whose sole duty it should be to go carefully over every bill before a final vote is taken upon it, and report wheth-er it is properly drawn to accomplish what it is intended to accomplish. Whether there is a man living fitted for such a position, is an open question.
It is daily becoming more doubtful whether the Senate Committee on Elec-tion will make a report on the Joint R< - solution passed by the House providing for a constitutional amendment for the election of Senatoi shy direct vote of tlx people. The subject wms discussed at the laM meeting of the Committee, but the talk did not indicate early action.
The investigation by the House Mili-tary Committee of the use of Federal troops in Idaho, in connection with the mining labor troubles, which has been going on neaily three months, closed to-day. It is practically certain that the committee will make two reports, the majority justifying the use of Fedt ral troops and the declaration of martial law by the government, and the minor-ity condemning both. It is also pro-bable that the division in the Committee will be on political lines.
Senator Teller believes that the Senate is becoming too undignified during iis business sessions, and he took occasion to impress that belief upon the minds of his colleagues by these plain words: “ We have reached a point where order must be maintained in the Senate, and the noise which has become so prevalent in this Chamber must cease.”
Delegations continue to come to Washington for the purpose of arguing
for the appeal of this or that portion of ! the stamp taxes, although it is prefectly well understood in Congress that nothing will be done until next winter.
The desire of so many statesmen to return to their homes before the hot sea-son begins in Washington, and tlie near approach of that season, are the reasons now being advanced for the “ postpone-ment” of the consideration of the Amer-ican ship protection bill at the present session. The foreign shipping interests and the free traders all agree among themselves that the adjournment of Con-gress without action on the shipping- bill at this session is tantamount to its defeat, because its consideration and passage at the short session, they assert is impossible.
Not the least of the important meas-ures before Congress is the “ bird bill” of Congressman Lacey of Iowa, which has passed the House. This is a bill to supplement the State game and pro-tective laws by national legislation, after the manner of the inter-state com-merce law, the anti-trust law and the original package law. It authorizes the secretary of agriculture to reintroduce game insectivorous anil other useful birds that have disappeared or nearly so, and allows him to control the importa-tion of foreign wild birds and animals. It also prohi.its interstate commerce in birds and game killed in violation of local laws. The object is really wise and beneficent.
The St. Louis street railway strikers practically demand that the hiring and discharge of motormen and conductors shall be placed in their hands to a vert large pxtent and that all disputes shall be settled by arbitration. The company could not assent to the first unless ii was ready to surrender virtually tlx control and management ok its property, and it was not disposed to agree to the latter. Hence the strike, which is so general and effective that it has tied up every line in the city. Of course riot-ing is a concomitant of the affair, at-tempts to move the cars being resisted with brickbats and men who undertake to fill the places of the strikers threat-ened with personal violence. Tlie police are powerless, or profess to be, and eventually troops will have to be called out to preserve the peace.
------- T?-----------President Hyde of Bowdoin College has printed in pamphlet form a ver; inspiring address, called “ The Art of Optimism as Taught by Robert Brown-ing,” an address so very cheery, san-guine and virile in ring as to make even the most hag-ridden victim of constitu-tional depression feel for a full half- hour after reading it that he needs only to will to be as jolly as Mark Tapley or as radiantly expectant as Col. Sellers, and he may soon hope to clap either of these worthies on the back and cry to him, “ Hail fellow, well met!” It is all a matter of stout swimming. “ Life is like the ocean. It drow'ns one man be-cause he yields to it passively and blindly. It buoys up the other because he strikes it skillfully and buffets it with lusty sinews. There is enough that is bad in every life to make one miserable who is so inclined.” So insists Presi-dent Hyde.— Kennebec Journal.

Augusta, Me.THE NEW CATALOGUES.
The patrons of the Hubbard Free Library will be pleased with the introduction this week of the new catalogues, including the By-laws, Regulations and Officers, with a complete list of the Fiction and Juvenile— making a book of 150 pages or more—Inter-leaved with these two departments, are a liberal number of blank leaves for entering new books. The influence of the library will certainly be increased with the help of the catalogues. The main catalogues, which will include all the departments—some 9,000 books, is partly completed. The small cata-logue will be popular with the general read-ers. The price of this catalogue is 25 cents; and it is thought that quite a large number of readers will see the wisdom of purchasing it.
The annual meeting of the Hubbard Free Library Trustees was held Monday afternoon. The election of officers and trustees, and re-ports of the Librarian and Treasurer were received. The officers and trustees are the same as last year. The finances of the Institution are in good condition, thanks to generous bequests of Gen. Hubbard am? Mrs. Lowell, so that the library as now con-ducted is practically self-supporting. The Librarian’s report shows about the same patronage as last year, and coutains encour-aging features. In addition to the routine work, the clerk was directed to enter upon the records suitable recognition of the gifts of the portraits of the late Dr. Richardson and Mr. Chas. Vaughan.
It is a matter of sincere regret to learn that the Wilder Oil Cloth Company will close up its business in this city, aud make no attempt to rebuild, or lease the Sampson Works, as at one time contemplated. An effort was made to interest local capital in organization of a stock company to run that plant, but the results of the canvass made did not warrant further proceedings. The company will close out its stock on hand, and retire from its field—in Hallowell at least.
Mr . W. C. Jo h n s o n returned home Fri-day of last week, from his long western trip. From the fact that the mill was never busier, we judge that his trip was a very successful one. Hallowell people should think often now'-a-days how much a great institution like the Johnson Bros. Mill means to a com-munity like this—with its other industries comparatively quiet.

Friends of Bishop Codman resent his representation in the jury of the Mock Trial, and he will not be present. A Mock Trial is not the sweetest kind of an entertainment —impromptu wit often bordering on coarse-ness.
Mrs. Duncan Campbell of Randolph has a phamplet which is over 100 years old. It is a copy of the first sermon delivered in the church of that town. The .sermon was de-livered by James Bowers, and was a dis-course on the occasion of the death of Gen George Washington.

Mrs. Hannah M. McIntosh, who made her home in Hallowell until a few years ago, died at her son’s home in Laconia, N. H., last week. The body was brought here Tuesday last for interment. Mrs. McIntosh was 78 years old. Three sous, Capt. Henry McIntosh, of Richmond, Geo. F. and Will; also one daughter, Mrs. John Averill, sur-vive her. Many Hallowell friends remem-ber Mrs. McIntosh and her children very kindly.
A gratifying.management of City Finances is promised. Notwithstanding a shrinkage of 8-40,000 in valuation, the tax rate will re-main the same as last year, 19 mills, and besides this, $1500 will be devoted to reduc tion of debt. The one problem before the City Fathers at this time is to give an eco-nomical management of affairs. At the special meeting Thursday evening, Mayor Tenney made plain the real condition of financial affairs.
At a meeting of the J. B, Hubbard Relief Corps held last evening the ladies voted to give a reception to the ladies who so kindly assisted them in the stage entertainment. Owing to the small space in the G. A. R. hall, the Relief Corps will not be able to re-ceive the children until about a week later when a reception will be given them some afternoon.
Mrs. Nancy Russell, of Augusta, a sister of the late Mrs. Kimball, died at her home early in the week. The funeral services held Thursday were largely attended by Hallowell friends—Rev. W. F. Livingstone officiating. The tender sympathy of many friends goes out to the bereaved daughters, who are very kindly remembered here.
Miss E l i z a N o r r i s , only daughter of Mrs. Sarah Norris, died Thursday night af-ter a week’s sickness of pneumonia and peritonitis. The news will be received with great sorrow, for the deceased had a host of friends—whose warmest sympathy will go out to the bereaved mother. We shall pub-lish another week a tribute to the deceased. The funeral will be held Saturday afternoon.
Queen Esther Chapter of the Eastern Star will present a dramatic entertainment about the close of the month, when our young peo-ple will present “The Old Maid’s Conven tion,” together with a short program of songs and readings.
The usual Memorial Services will be held this year with one of the churches, but no decision has been made as yet on account of the changes made in our pulpits.

Rev. C. F. Parsons, re-appointed Presid-ing Elder of the Augusta district at the re-cent Conference, has since accepted an as-signment to the Westbrook church. Rev. C. A. Southard, who was assigned to that church, has accepted the appointment as- Presiding Elder. Mr. Parsons, who has preferred a local charge, commenced his new duties Sunday last. The Westbrook church is to be congratulated.
Saturday last gave us an unusual weather record. In the morning, we had snow, rain and hail; in the afternoon a short thunder storm. The day was a cold one for early May, but we do not think the the trees suf-fered.
There is an unusual amount of sickness in the community, and several are at death’s door. A change to warm pleasant weather will help all our sick friends.
Mr. S. B. Glazier, with the Davis Coke & Coal Co., Boston, and friend, Hon. F. E. Holden, of Woonsocket, R. I., were at the Lake last week, in quest of trout and bass. They captured some of each species, although the rough water was against them.
Mr. C. N. Smith, who was housed last week as the result of an accident, is out again and attending to duties. In going down the run at his stables, he made a mis-step, and dropped a stitch in his back. The pain and weakness following disabled him for a few days.
Mr. Robert McCutclieon is at work on grading the grounds of the new residence of Mr. W. C. Johnson, Warren street. The job is an extensive one. The foundation walls of the new stable are already partly in place. Mr. McCutclieon will grade the en-tire lot, from street to street.
The children of the Public Schools are preparing a Memorial Day program of reci-tations and declamations, to be given in connection with the regular Memorial even-ing exercises, and in place of the usual ora-tion. Children have been chosen to repre-sent all the schools.
We are looking for some approach to set-tlement of the Granite situation. Several conferences, have been held between the company and the committee of the Union; and the representatives of the Works in the different parts of the country have all been here since the strike. If there is no move-ment at an early date, our City Fathers should offer their services as mediators, for the town is suffering.

MOCK TRIAL.
There ought to be fun galore and a crowded house at City Hall, Friday evening, May 11th, when Miss Katherine Beeman brings suit for damaged affections against Hon. Ben Tenney. The court opens prompt-ly at 8 P. M., and individuals at all curious are warned not to tamper in any way with the minds of the jury. The Re g is t e r goes to press before the event, andean therefore give no accurate report of the affair.
The officers of the Court, Witnesses and Jurymen are as follows:—
Judge, R. W. Leighton.Clerk of court, H. W. Dutch.Stenographer, Miss Eva Winter.Sheriff, E. M. Henderson.Attorney for plaintiff, the coming county
attorney, Thomas Leigh of Augusta.Attorney for defence, the Hon. H. H.
Stinson ol Boston.Witnesses. Nrs. Nelson Webber of Water-
ville; Mrs. Marie Macomber Weston of Boston; Mrs. Clara A. Eveleth, Mr. Henry Clearwater, Mr. H. L. Douglass, Mr. Pat-rick McCarthy.
The jury is made up of well-known citi-zens of Hallowell, representing public men and one prominent woman. Since the part-ies to the suit are to be tried before their peers, the following will serve as arbiters of fate: Bishop Codman, James Jeffries, Ad-miral Dewey, President McKinley, Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, Congressman Little-field, W. J. Bryan, “ Teddy” Roosevelt.
The entertainment is for the benefit of the Senior Class, and is given in place of the dramatic entertainment planned.
W. C. T. U, ANNUAL MEETING,
The W. C. T. U. held its annual meeting at the home of the President with a large at-tendance. The following officers were chos-en for a year:President, Mrs. W. H. PerrySecretary, Mrs. J. W. SchaferTreasurer, Mrs. Asa Libby

The Ladies of the Relief Corps scored a signal success with their bright entertain-ment at Wilson Hall, Tuesday evening last. Both financially and otherwise, the results pleased. The unique character of the en-tertainment contributed to the success. The fantasy of Fair Women is similar to Longfellow’s Dream, a chorus or reader pre-senting the noted characters in smoothly moving dialogues. The little play of the children, “Among the Fairies” was very pleasing. Much of the success is due Mrs. Arthur Brown, of Augusta, the reader, who rehearsed both attractions, and gave much time to the work of preparation. Some 60 or more characters were represented, many presenting attractive costumes, and life-like representations. We have not space to give names of those taking part.
The ladies managing the entertainment wish to extend their hearty thanks to all who assisted in any way to make the even-ing a success.
MRS. E. L. NORCROSS.
The funeral of the late Mrs. E. L. Nor- cross was held from the Baptist church, Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Leach of Win- throp, officiating, assisted by Rev. W. D. Plummer of this city. Mrs. Norcross was a daughter of the late James Woodbridge, formerly one of Hallowell’s prominent citi-zens. Mrs. Norcross passed many years of her life in Manchester, but recently had made her home in Hallowell. A sister, Mrs. George Palmer, a daughter, Mrs. E. C. Stevens of Chelsea, and two sons, William and Charles, survive her. The funeral was largely attended.
George C. Taylor of Waterville has asked for a license to run a public Automobile in that city. He intends purchasing one that will seat six persons and making trips around the country roads and to the ponds. That is a pretty good scheme. We would like to see it duplicated in this part of the State. It may be that the Automobile will do away with the demand for an electric road to'tlie Lake.
Mr. Colman Conners, who lives in the little house near the Old South church, met with an uncomfortable experience Monday noon. He was just leaving his garden as the noon train swept by, when he was top-pled over the banking, more by air pressure than contact with the engine. The train was stopped, but the old gentleman was found to be all right—or at least free from any bruises.

Resolutions Passed by Hallowell Com- mandery, U. 0 . G. C.
Wh e r e a s , Once again we hear the knock of the Messenger of Death, once again he enters our Citadel, and removes from our midst our Beloved Brother Sir Knight George W. Carter.
Resolved, That by his death we have lost one who until prevented by sickness was always present with us in our Citadel, one who as an officer served his Commandery with faithfulness and ability, one who was faithful to the principles of our order and always interested in its welfare.
Resolved, That by his departure his family has lost a kind and affectionate husband and father, and while we deeply sympathize and mourn with them for one who was in so many ways worthy of our respect and esteem we would commend them to him who doetli all things well and may he comfort and sus-tain them in the blessed hope of reunion in the Citadel above.
Resolved, That our charter be draped in mourning thirty days, that these Resolutions be spread on our Records, that a copy be sent to the afflicted family and to Golden Cross Journal and Hallowell Register for publication.

The Grace of Receiving.
“ Why did you change your boarding place?” I said to the friend whom I had expected to find in the cottage of a widow.
“ Because they would not let me wipe dishes. Yrou need not laugh for I am quite serious. I chose such a home as you know, partly that my one girlie might miss her sister less, but I also knew from the widow’s landlord how- brave a struggle she was making to keep her children at school. Since she was willing to take us in spite of her many pupils in painting, I reckoned on having some helpful share in the busy house-hold beyond paying my board. Bui l could not make them understand that I really wished to help, and I never ven-tured into the tidy kitchen but I was playfully driven out. Edith the bright school girl, had many home duties and liked doing dishes no better than other girls. A few times when her mother was out I was allowed to help her and be cheered by her lively chattering. Then the mother seems to have given her instructions and she joined in refus-ing my assistance. They were very kind when I was sick and on many ac-counts I should have been glad to stay, but since I could only be lady boarder l came away.”
“ And since you were fated to be lade boarder you chose the conventional type this time,” I said, glancing about the well-appointed boarding house chamber.
“ No, to tell the truth, I feared thi< place would be too conventional for me,
but in half an hour my new acquaint-ance here had found out my own lo«*» and told me, as though assured of nn deep sympathy, about her married daughter’s death last year. Finding that we could establish a give-and-take rela-tion, I took the room immediately.”
It is indeed the “ give-and-take” rela-tion, that underlies true helpfulness Many who know well the blessedness of giving, monopolize that blessing for themselves because they will not receive the kindly helpfulness of others.
One day I happened to enter Un-pleasant kitchen of a city friend. From beneath an overturned foot bath on tin- floor came a sound which suggested tin- farmyard. I could see scattered oat-meal and the edge of a saucer of drink-ing water.
“ What in the w orld!” was my ex-clamation.
“ Behold a chicken pie in the fiivt stage!” said my friend.
“ But who will pick it? It is alive! ’“ Don’t fancy me too helpless to pick
a chicken. My father was a farmer, 1 would have you know. The worst ob-stacle I shall ask my neighbor in tin- basement to remove when he comes from work to-night.”
“ But isn’t it more trouble than it is worth, and where did it come from?” I persisted.
“ It is the gift of the poor mother of one of Harriet’s pupils—day school. Why she brought it I do not know, though I suspect Harriet could tell. The woman was so pleased to find that l liked it.
“ Perhaps it will help Harriet’s influ-ence in the family to the extent of sav-ing some child’s neglected eyes by pro-per treatment or the suitable training for some future genius.
“ As for my share in it, the young neighbors who come to my relief will allow me to care for their sweet babv while they go to church together, for once, as they used to do. And then the delicious chicken pie! I think it pays don’t you?”
“ Decidedly,” was my hearty answer, “ in the hands of such a genius as you, but don’t tell me that the children of this world are any wiser than some chil-dren of light.”
“ I am no genius, dear. If I have de-veloped any of the grace of receiving it is because, like Mrs. Browning, I have gone through life ‘learning what good is by the opposite.’’ When I was a busy voting mother on a puzzling income, a dear aunt in easy circumstances was a frequent visitor. I owe much to her cheery outlook upon lift-, her practical skill and helpful suggestions. She always came laden with some bargain she had run across, some useful gift for one child or another, or the latest magazine to share with me. But she would go home empty-handed in spite of my ingenious efforts to serve her or to give her a tittie of the gifts she bestowed on us.
*‘l used to be so vexed that I could
crv after every failure. To this day I can point to every fault in my dear aunt’s personality, and I have met so many others with the same unwilling-ness to receive, that I have made a study of the grace of receiving.”
“ Like mother, like child. A few weeks later I called at Harriet’s school-room as she was smiling her good night to an unusual number of devoted ad-mirers. She carried a prelty red box with the cover held on by a rubber band. At the first ash box we passed outside her school district, she suddenly opened the box she carried and tossed its contents into that convenient recep-tacle. It had held all sorts of childish treasures that had been offered to her shrine that day, which most teachers would have deposited in the waste pap- r basket without a thought.
“ I dislike to throw them away,” she said, “ but at any rate I can put them here quite out of sight so that they will never be grieved that I did not keep them always. I do so like to have them care to bring me little presents like these.—Julia Sargent Visher.
A Woman Maker.
“ She has made a woman of me.” The speaker, of middle age and very plainly dressed, had been standing in the hallway of the house where Rev. Dr. Herrick had spoken a few words of Scripture, prayer and benediction by the side of the casket which contained the body of Sarah Ellen Frye, for many years the State agent for caring for di-- chargetl female prisoners. The wom-an’s ungloved hand had covered In r eyes all through the service, and the tears had trickled down her cheeks. It was after the service that she spoke the words I have written. She had been a convict, an unattractive woman, an alien, in whom few would have taken any interest, for whom few would have had anv hope.
The process of “ making a woman'’ out of this discharged prisoner was a simple one, as she described it to me. “ I used to drink,” she said, “ and Mi.-s Frye—she was a darling woman—used to say to me, ‘Why don’t you slop it? You’re too much of a woman to throw yourself away so.’ And I stopped. I haven't touched a drop for years, and with the help of God I never will again.” She had heard of Miss Frye’s illness and called to see her, only to learn that she was dead, and she came to the funeral of the one who “ made a woman of her.”
She was only one of scores, perhaps hundreds, who have been helped into better lives by Miss Frye’s words and work. That work was done in an earnest way, and many a story have I heard of her faithfulness and devotion. She looked upon her work as assigned by her Master, and she did it loyally for him, never sparing herself. No tributt paid by her loving friends would havt been so gra ifying to her as this I have quoted from the lips of one who had sad experiences in the hard way of the trans-gressor, “ She made a woman of me.” If Miss Frye could do this, why cannot others? If this ex-convict could be changed, is there not hope for others like her?— Warren F . Spalding.
FAVORITE POEMS.A May Carol.
This morning, blithe and early,The oracle went forth
To crown the new bride Nature According to her worth.
Obedient to the signal The waking birds begin
Their quivering, quavering carols,To call the bride-guests in.
Next, all the waiting blossoms •The balmy air coaxed out,
With fragrancies exceeding Breathing all about.
And all the trees in concert Shook a halo down
Of blossoms odorousHer loveliness to crown.
Then up rose the sun-god To celebrate the hour,
And every eye unwindowed And every sleeping flower.
So gay and pure a bridal On earth was never seen
Since Adam wed in Paradise With Eve his spousal queen.
Soft on a swinging bough The listening robin, priest,
Sang canticles of bliss Until the service ceased—
As, silently, a dove Dropped down to dewy clover,
Benediction to announce When the sweet joy was over.
—H. A. Kendall.
How to Grow Thin.
‘Tis simple; if you would be thin, Remember these decrees:
Forswear potatoes, sugar, cream,All butter, if you please;
Drink not much w’ater, neither eat Of candied dainties many;
Eschew all pastries, pies, and cakes,And, further, sleep not any.
Rise with the sun, and seek your couch At setting of the moon,
Run up and down the stairs all day,And thin you’ll be full soon.
But, better than all this, if you ’Twixt ponderous rollers round
Would place yourself and be pressed flat, You’d lose flesh, I’ll be bound.
To Time, Not to Hurry with the Boys.
Let them be a little space,Though they lack our crowning grace; Though their talk be not about Things we talk of, dining out,Though their jokes are hard to see:
Let them be.Could we once have been as they?Fat and rosy, fresh and gay,With such reverence for the fact,With such perfect want of tact?Yes? Well, all the same, prithee,
Let them be.—The Spectator (London.)
“Delays are dangerous.” Those who have poor, weak, impure blood should take Hood’s Sarsaparilla at once. It never dis-appoints.
