PADDLE Your OWN CANoE.-Judge
s. gave his son 1000 and told him to
go to college and graduate. The son re-
turned at the end Of the freshman year with
out a dollar and with several ugly habits.
About the close of vacation the judge
said to his son
"Well, William, are you going to college
this year ?'
"Have no money, father.
"But | gave you 81 900 to graduate On.
"That's all gone, father.
"Very well, my son, L gave you all l
could afford to give you; you can't stay
here ; you must now pay your own way
in the world.
A new light broke in upon the vision OF
the young man. Heo accommodated him
self to the situation, he left home, made
his way through the college and graduated
at the head of his ~class-studied law, be-
came governor Of the state Of New York,
entered the cabinet Of the President of the
United States and made q record for him
self that will not soon die, being none other
than William Ii. Seward.

POLITiCIL.

Representative Beck in Kentucky, in de-
clining reelection, is not moved by an ire
pressible longing for private life; he is up for
the u. S. Senate.
The fact that the House Civil Service Re-
form Committee has agreed to report in favor
of an appropriation of $25, 900, recommended
by the President is rather surprising to those
who have been asserting that the Committee
was made up hostile to the reform.
Mr.. Beecher in his last speech for woman's
suffrage, gives the following agreeable little
picture 500 you think if the man should
say to his wife, There is prmay meeting
tonight, put on your things and let us go )
and they would meet their neighbor and his
| wife and the young man and his sweetheart,
| and they should go to the primary, that it
would be carried on as 1t is now: Primaries
are not very pleasant pictures now, but there
is no reason why they should not be held in
parlors."
There is dispute between Virginia and
West Virginia as to the payment of the State
debt of Virginia before the war. The gov
eminent Of Virginia alleges tina. one-third OF
the debt should be paid by West Virginia.
Some days ago a resolution was introduced in
the House by Judge Thomas of Virginia, re-
ferring this matter to the Committee on the
Judiciary. Since then argument has been
made before the committee, the counsel for
West Virginia taking the ground that Con-
gress has no jurisdiction over this question
that by the Constitution of the United States
all controversies between States shall be set
tied by the Supreme Court of the United
States, and that this controversy should be
carried to that tribunal rather than to Con-
gress. The entire amount involved is S32,-
600, 600. and the people Of West Virginia say
that of this sum only two and a half millions
were spent in their section Of the State.

Mr.. Joseph Griffin, in Supplement to his
"History of the Press of Maine," just pub
lished, gives the following facts relating to
the newspapers of this State:
'In 1900 the population of Maine was, in
round numbers, 1872, 900. There were at that
time only five weekly newspapers, viz, the
Portland Gazette, Eastern Herald, and ORR
entail Trumpet, printed at Portland the Ken
nebec Intelligencer, at Hallowell, and the
Castine Journal, at Castine. In 1915 the pop.
named papers, excepting the Portland
Gazette, had disappeared, and five others,
viz, the Eastern Argus at Portland, Weekly
Visitor at kennebunk, Hallowell Gazette
and American Advocate at IIallowell, and the
Bangor Weekly Register at Bangor, had
taken the field. In 1870 the population had
increased to over 100000. The whole num-
Der of periodicals at this date was ~, and the
circulation of daily papers, according to
Rowell and Co.'S Directory, was about 5000
tri-weealy, 300; weeklies, l4l,000. Total
circulation each week about 204. 900. Prob
ably an equal number of papers from other
States was circulated in Maine, making at
least two papers each week for every adult
person
The number of authors of books and PAM
phlets in Maine, recorded during the time
since the establishment of the first press, is
over 5000; number of books and pamphlets,
400. Authors of periodicals-daily, weekly,
and monhly-fall but little, if any, short OF
300
