Gardiner Home Journal
Mr.. Joshua X. Osgood, the Gardiner
temperance reform worker, has severed
all bis business connections in that city.
and will devote his whole time and ergy
to the reform movement He will com
mence his labors in New Hampshire.
A correspondent writes to the Somerset
Reporter to prove that some Of the Of
nclalS OF that county do not do their
duty in regard to the enforcement of the
liquor law. The Reporter offered the
sheriff the use of its columns to answer,
but he says he does not care to reply.
Biddetord continues vigorously enforc-
ing the prohbitory law. Men of high
standing cooperate with the officers, and
the work is comparatively easy. Last
Saturday the largest seizure ever made in
the city is reported. The good efforts
of enforced prohibition" is manifest and
the Union and journal urges a continu-
ance of the good work.
Mr.. John f. Haines authorizes the
Blddeford Times to say that he has start
ed out boldly in the cause of Temperance,
and that he Will wage war against the
liquor sellers until the end is reached and
the traffic stopped. He undertakes to
thoroughly rout the rum sellers, and do
such good work that Biddeford shall no
longer be reproach to the Prohibtory
law.
The Good Templars are to have a New
Years tree on Monday evening. All look
forward to this as a good time generally.
The lodge seems to be in prosperous
condition at present, and we hope its
members will have energy enough to up
hold it and show the croakers and rum
mics who have prOphesied its downfall
that they have public spirit enough to
uphold temperance, even at Washington
Mills. Our people have taken several
important steps toward suppressing il
legal liquor selling in our town, which
should not be relaxed until every rum
seller is routed, or obliged to quit the ne
farious business. Washington, Knox Co.,

The Graduate.

Now watch this young strnt of youth as he comes forward with his es- say on Rome. How full of life and proud grace is his step. How confident he is of the fact that he is about to elec- trify the world with his marvellous store of knowledge of ancient history. How bad he seems to feel because, in his opinion, the governments of the nine- teenth century are unworthy to be con- pared to the governments of ancient Rome or Greece. In the eyes of this knowing youth the steam engine, cleo tricity and the press are nothing con- pared to the ordinary palaces and monu- ments built by the hands of the miser- able slaves of ancient times. If this youth had his way, how he would revo- lutionize affairs. How he would away with some of the prosy things of to-day, and in return restore to us the glory and grandeur of old Rome and old Greece. But the youth has his own way but for moment, and therefore he breaks loose for all that's out. To-mor- row he goes out into the great big world and gets lost. To-day he is too big even for the fine clothes he wears. To-mor- row his clothes will prove too much for him, therefore he will leave 8 part of them in the care of an uncle. We may never hear of him again, and he may turn up some day as a reformed drunk ard, and again electrify us with his elo- quence. But the chances are that we are safe. that this ambitious youth will, on leaving the stage to-day. be inveigled into some large store where in the fu- ture he can devote his powers of oratory on dry goods boxes, and on his fellow workers in the basement. - Detroit Chaf.

Newspaper Work.

A few years ago the newspaper pro fession was looked down upon as noth- ing hut Gehenneh for the wrecks and cripples of other professions. A report CT was the very acme of social degrada- tion. Now, however, it is different. Every one of the young men who have just left some alma mater believes that he Gan write, and that he has but to of- fer his services to be installed ir some responsible position. How many are disappointed the walls of a newspaper office could relate were they able to speak. Newspaper work is not mat ter of writing, but of putting as many facts, and as much of them as is possi- ble, in the briefest possible space. It takes a young man fresh from college long time to find that out, and until that knowledge is obtained they have to suffer many pang while seeing an ed- itor's blue pencil making sad havoc with their elegant periods. nice illustra- tions and worly introductions. If man has not instinctively got an eye for news and the faculty of getting it ex- pediously, he may polish the side walks" for lifetime and yet be no nearer the goal he started out to reach. The most remarkable thing, however, is the number of women who crowd into the profession of journalism by sheer persistency. Once woman lays aside her natural reserve she becomes more pushing and irrepressible than drum mer and thus many succeed in actually forcing themselves into positions. AS rule, they make good news-gatherers in certain departments. A few of them are interviewers, and as such they have succeeded better than most men. But equally, as a rule, women make bad news writers. They are prolix, and the natural female inclination for post scripts follows them throughout. Be- sides, they are generally awkward per sonages to have in an office. They are apt to be exacting and constantly claim privileges on the strength of the defer ence due a lady from gentleman. City editors often find them the bane of their lives, and to male reporters there are twenty unpopular to one popular female scribe.-Ihe Hour.

Shirts.

If man wishes to fully appreciate a shirt, he should select some nice warm evening in August, rush home, and find he has fifteen minutes to take bath, dress, eat his supper. and catch the boat for the beach. Providing the tempera- ture is right, by the time he reaches his clean shirt he readily believes that beef is not the highest thing in the market, and mercury still holds its own.
 Just as his head is completely envel- oped, he finds the neck-band carefully pinned together, with the head of the pin on the outside, and each sleeve starched perfectly tight shut; and after overcoming these slight obstacles, he discovers all the buttons have left, his finger slips easily through the button holes, his collar-button quietly glides down the inside of his shirt, and when in a vain attempt to fasten his collar on a bone collar-button, the head comes off, and trickles slowly down the back of his neck, he actually feels warm. The neck-band has an edge like a ''rip'' saw, and if he is fortunate enough to have 8 bosom ''open in front" by the time he gets his studs through one eyelet, and vainly sounds for the other, his temper ature is rising, and when almost finish ed, tries to button the sleeves, finds they come only half way below the el- bow. and he is compelled to realize that the shirt is not his, and was sent to him by mistake, he is hot.
 Why, in the name of all that is rea- sonable, man can never find clean, whole shirt when he is in hurry and must have one immediately. is one of the things '|ra fellow can find out-''

How To Make Koumiss,

Fill quart champagne bottle up to the neck with pure milk. add two table spoonfulls of white sugar, after dissolv- ing the same in little water over hot fire; add also quarter of 2-cent cake of compressed yeast. Then tie the cork on the bottle securely, and shake the mixture well; place it in a room of the temperature of 50 to e5 degrees Fahren- heit for six hours, and finally in the ice box over night. Drink in such quan- titles as the stomach may desire. It will be well to observe several important injunctions in preparing the koumiss, and they are: First, to be sure that the milk is pure; second, that the bottle is sound; third, that the yeast is fresh; fourth, to open the mixture in the morn- ing with great care, on account of its etfervescent properties; fifth, not to drink it at all if there is any curdle or thickened part resembling cheese, as this indicates that the fermentation has been prolonged beyond the proper time,

An Exploded Fraud.
The Mccklenburg Declaration Shown to Be an
 Obvlous Forgery.

The Mcckenburg Declaration Shown to Be an
 obvious Forgery.
 Another historic fraud, one which has been imposed upon the people of the United States for more than half ccn- tury, has just been exposed by writer in the New York Sun. The statement has been generally accepted, and has gone into most of our histories, that on May 29, 1775, some say May 31, 1775, series of resolutions were adopted at 6 public meeting at Charlotte, Mecklen- berg county, N. C., the language of which is so nearly identical with that of the Declaration of Independence as to warrant the claim of priority of action by the people of North Carolina, and the reference that Thomas Jefferson, in drafting the declaration of the Conti- mental Congress, copied for the most part the language of the Mecklenburg- CTS.
 The Sun knocks the yarn higher than Gilderoy's kite or Mother Shipton's prophecy. It shows that the first known of the mysterious document was in 1919, when it was published in Massachusetts papers. Then John Adams first heard of it; and not having the experience of the present day in regard to Mercy let ters and other forgeries, hewas disposed to think it genuine document He wrote to Thomas Jefferson. asking how it was possible that the paper could have been concealed from him so long. Jefferson in reply pointed out its spuri- ous character, called attention to the fact that the names mentioned as pres ent at the convention were dead, and added that no allusion to it had any, where been made, prior to this publica- tion in Massachusetts, whereas if any such important action had been taken, the whole State and country would have rung with it. Jefferson having decided it hoax. gave himself no further con- cern about it.
 The most positive testimony against it is internal evidence furnished by it. self. If the claim made for it by the North Carolinians be valid, then Jeffer- son quoted it in writing the Declaration of 1776, for quarter of it's words are found consecutively in the genuine doc- ument. The draft by Jefferson is of historic record, and so are the additions, changes of words and other amend ments made when he submitted his draft to the consideration of the congress. But this Mecklenburg declaration has these changed and interpolated words in their regular order as they stand in the original Declaration-a most con- vincing proof that the Mecklenburg pa- per was made subsequent to the Declara- tion of 1776, instead of antedating the latter more than a year.
