FILLING " AR6csrooK We observe tina,
there is considerable talk in ,hcMaine papers
about constructing railroad to Aroostook,
in order to draw population TO that unqucs-
tionably fine country. hut, if we may Judge
from the democratic returns of the late cleo
ton, Aroostooh must be already filling up
very fast. Thus, the county gave last year
1901 Repu blican to 1888 democratic votes,
being the largest vote ever cast there. The
returns now gives Foster OH, and Bradbury
1904, votes. But according to some of the
Maine Democratic papers, "Mr. Bradburys
majority in Aroostook is 1890 )" which, TAX
ing Fosters figures as above, would carry
the democratic vote up to 1917 This shows
an increase Of over GOO voters since last full /;
and implies an added population of about
5000. This is certainly wonderful increase
for a small county, under the present circum-
stances. But II IS -vUry singular that the in
crease should be wholly democratic. Have

san ENu or A TALENTED MAN.-The fol-
lowing tribute to Ncimoutcr is from the
pen Of "Burlcigh," in the Boston Journal:
The visitors to the saloon under the Astor
House will miss this season the tall and i'm.
posing form of the gentleman known as tho
card writer at the Astor' He was Yer
mont man, and came from his native State 70
Massachusetts TO edit one of the leading
journals. He was well educated. of fnc-tai.
cnts, genial temper, and made what is called
troops Of friends" But these proved his
ruin. He could not resist the power Of the
friendly and social glass, and drinking and
social life untitled him for his duties as cdi.
tor, and finally drove him to this wilderness
of men. Those who sported with him in his
better days, when he had money 10 spend,
and led him TO excess and intemperance
were not to be found in the day of his ealam.'
ity, and driven hy want and shame he located
himself in the Astor House saloon to write
cards for u living. lie felt that his position
was far beneath him. lie kcenlv felt the
deep degradation lie sought to hide his
scnsibili,y in the maddcnng cup. lie drank
deeply and 1t was most painful sight to
those who know him in other days TO see the
wreck he made of all the gifts Of God. and 10
know that his career must soon end and his
sun 80 down in night. And this has han.
pcned 10 him. A few weeks ago he passed
AWAY from the land OF the living, and leaving
his career warning and an admoniton. The
number of young men who fall and are ruin
ed here, is past belief; and the death of such
are as little noted in this great Babel as the
fall OF man into the sea, when the parted
waters close over the victim and give no sign
OF the place where the body went down.

CONTEST WITH BoAR.-The Arlington
STANDARD relates that several days since, as
Walter Davis, a young man in the employ of
Amos ). Reed at East Arlington, was endeay-
oring to drive savage boar intota pen, the
terocious animal turned upon him and drove
him into corner, near n high board fence.
The boar lcaped at him with the ferocitv of a
tiger, but was kept at bay by Davis for some
ten minutes, but finally, by tremendous lean,
the savage animal came so near that the pole
was uselcss. As he made spring. Davis
jumped over him. but, in doing so, the boar
drove his tusk through a thick kip boot, and
almost completely through his foot, throwing
him back into the corner. Before the beast
could pursue the advantage he had gained.
Davis was up and running for dear life. The
boar followed him to the door of the ward
striking him once above the knee, cutting a
cash six inches long aud an inch deem at one
