Disadvantages of City Boys, by Washington

on actual facts, and is stirring Talk with

They will find pleasure, too, in the "Out-

Beard, which gives diagrams and full instruc-
tions how to make and fly kites of all sorts and
shapes. Among the short stories are: Chy
Lung, an illustrated tale about Chinese fisher

The Issue in Portland

The effrontery with which the Fusionist
leaders and organs defend the unla " full and
wicked proceedings of Garcelon and his ac
completes, with which they assert that they
are injured men, with which they assail Re
publicans because the Republican party has
taken its own, deserves severe rebuke from
the people of Maine whose will they disre-
garded and whose constitutional rights they
attempted to overthrow. The municipal
elections this spring afford an immediate
and fitting opportunity to administer this
rebuke, and next Monday the citizens of
Portland can express by their votes thsir
condemnation of the methods adopted to
disfranchise them and deprive the city of its
representation, and of the men who origi-
mated and now defend these methods. No
good citizen should neglect to take advan-
tage of the opportunity which is given by the
ballot box to pass his judgment upon the in
stigators of and the apologsts for the
attempted fraud upon suffrage in this State.
The shamelessness of the consprators had
its most striking Illustration in our own
City Hall when Tabulator Fogg shook the
blank return from Jonesport in the faces of
his auditors, asked how that return could
be counted, and then went back to Augusta
and counted it-thus audaciously doing the
very thing he said could not legally be done,
and disregarding in action the rulesl of con-
duct by which the Elective Council pro-
fessed to be guided in canvassing the vote.
But the brazen effrontry of this act is par
alleled by all the other acts of the Fusion
lists. They glibly quote in defense the laws
which they violated, and deliberately ignore
other laws, as binding, which they have
made no pretence of regarding. They, al
most to man, sustain the steal, and heap
insult and contumsly upon the Supreme
Court OF the State that condemned it in an
opinion they themselves called for. Even
further, they have the shameless audacity-
an audacity born of political profigacy and
personal tnrpitude-to charge Republicans
who have only sought a fair count and a
just administration of the laws, with vio-
lating the constitution, with abusing the
peoples trust, and with upholding usurpa-
ton.
Ii there be left in the breasts of Republi-
cans spark of self respect the men who at
tempted to steal State and who are now
openly defending the robber code they
framed, will receive an overwhelming rebuke
at the polls. No plea that the issue made

The Baroness Won Vedlitz, formerly Miss
Catherine b. Kelsey of Cambridge, has been
sued at Boston to recover on drafts made by

with her husband at Fredericton, N b.,
claims she was acting under duress at the time.

square and projecting; her nose is good, and
rather large; her mouth and jaw firm, with
pretty, white, small and even teeth, and a

into the innermost foibles of ones heart.

THE BLACK LIST

Here is the list in black letters of the men
who, by an unhappy accident being in
important official positions, deliberately
abused their trust, perverted the laws which
it was their sworn duty to execute justly and
impartially according to their spirit and in
tent, who sought by wicked trickery to
thwart the will of the people as expressed at
the polls and who not only brought dis
grace upon themselves but smirched the
fair fame of the State whose officials they
unfortunately were. Their names and places
should be known of all men that they
may receive the just punishment of being
regarded as infamous by all good citizens
and that the rising generation may learn by
their example the folly of being wicked.
To this list is appended the names of such
other men as have taken offices to which
they knew they were not elected, and who
become equally guilty by taking advantage
of the vile conduct of the original malefac-
TORS.

Burlington Hawkeye: Advice to young
man-Cultivate self-control until it becomes
natural to you. Self-repression isn't self-con-
troll. One time 1 knew one of these men who
are accustomed to self-repression. He was
quiet, soft-spoken man, with the most ungov-
ernable temper that ever tore human passion
into rags But he rarely showed it. One day
in the autumn he was trying to make joint
of six-inch stovepipe fit into the end of five
and one-half inch length And during the
struggle he smote his thumb, about midway
between the nail and the joint with a round
backed hammer. He arose with sad, sweet
smile, laid the hammer down softly on the
carpet, changed the lengths of pipe, fitted
them and put the pipe up, and never said a
word. But he was pale, and there was glow
ing light in his eyes, And the next day, about
3 o'clock in the afternoon, that man walked
out of town, up the B. and M. grade, and
stood in the woods and foamed at the mouth
and howled and raved about stovepipes and
people who make them until he frightened a
thirty-two-ton engine off the track. Self-re-
preston isn't self-control, my son.
