THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE.

Oh, no, never mention her,
never breathe her name
There is no memory to stir a
To life wasted fame.
No Vision of her haunts me now,
Unbroken is my rest,
No kiss is laid upon her brow,
None on her lips is pressed.
never bother as to how
Is worn the forehead tress,
Her whims and freaks don't grieve me now
Her woes cause no distress.
There is no anguish in my soul
Lest she another choose,
pen no loveSick rigmarole
To conjure up the blues.
All, no ! never mention her,
The girl who'll rule my life,
Whose maiden name I'll alter
To the dearer name of wife.
tell no friends delightedly
OF the treasure l shall get.
speak not of her. For you see
have not met her yet.

1t subsequently, transpired that johnson was
lieutenant on board the old Teazer when she
was captured by Admiral Warren's hset, and
was released on his parole. Without waiting
to be regularly exchanged he entered as first
lieutenant on board the Young Teszsr.
Capt. Cogshall gives this reason of the
blowing up of the privateer:
"By letters from several of the crew [prison-
ers Ia Halifax to the agents of the privsteer,
we learn the following particulars of the sad
catastrophe: While the Young Teazer was
closely pursued by an English maD-ot-war ana
In great danger Of being taken, Capt. Dawson
Lshonld be DobsoDl, who commanded the pri-
vateer, called his officers aft to consult on
what was best to be done. While they were
celebrating on the subject, one of the sailors
called aloud to the captain that Lieut.. john
son had just gone into the cabin with live
brand of fir in bis hand. In another instant
the Young Teazer was blown up"
johnson knew that If he was taken in arms
under the circumstances, his fate would be
death, and he did not think of his shipm ates-
only his own sure fate.
That the Young Teazsr had been an active
and troublesome cruiser, is shown by the fol-
lowing, copied from q Boston paper of the
time. A fishing boat was boarded Of Cape
Ann by boat from the line-of-battle ship La
hogue and her register taken on board the ship
on which the following was endorsed and re-
turned:
His Msjesty's Ship Lahogue-At sea, 9Th OF
July, 1913. have warned the fishing boat
Sally of Barnstable to return Immediately to
her own coast and in consequence of the dep
relations committed by the Young Teazer and
other American privateers upon the British
fishing and coasting vessels belonging to Nova
Scotia-but more particularly from the inha-
man and savage proceeding of causing the
American schooner Eagle to be- blown up after
having been taken possession of by FL. B. M.
ship Ramalies, an act not to be justified on the
most barbarous principles of warfare-I have
directed 81. B. M. cruisers on this coast to de-
stroy every description of American vsssels
they may fall in with, fags-of-truce only ex-

According to the Attorney Generals re-
port Cumberland is the only county in the
State where the criminal business in the
eoarts is done at a decided profit. While
the costs allowed by the county commits
sioners and the court were 81, 6937s, the
amount of the fines collected was $21, 1927. %.
In every other county in the State except
York, where there was a small excess Of
fines over costs, the business is done at con-
siderable lose. In Androscoggin county
the costs were s5,7Ss.77, and the fines 3d.
s46.7o. In Oxford, the costs were 3d.
2l5.S7, while the fines amounted only to
soSs.2o. The liquor business explains the
difference.

The Bangor Commercial advises the
Maine Democracy to steer clear Of fusion
next year, and declare against the prohibito-

thinks, will be winning programme. Per-
haps so, but We are incllued to think it will
be difficult to get the local option plank
through Democratic convention. The at
tempt was made several years ago at Ban
gor and then proved fiat failure. Perhaps
the Commercial has good reason to believe
there has been change of opinion since
that time, but we suspect that it has been
nisled by the sentiment of the Democracy

President Eliot of Harvard University in
his annual report, speaking of athletic sports,
says the opinions of the college authorities
on this subject are perfectly distinct. They
are in favor of forbidding college clubs and
crews to en- ploy trainers, to play or row
with professionals" or to compete with
clubs or crews who csc
practices. They are opp. money
making by intercollegiate contests, directly
mr. indirectly. They look upon college sports
simply as an amusement and not as a bust
ness. The view that is becoming popular
among the undergraduates is precisely the
opposite. They, or many of them, seem to
regard rowing and ball playing as business,
and one of more importance than the study
of the languages or mathematics.

The Argus is not quite fair when it says
we criticised its method of reserving the
second page for expressing its opinions
about national and foreign affairs while lite
Judgments on city affairs must be sought on
the third page. We simply called attention to
1t as a curious phenomenon, kind of lusus
aaturae in journalism. We do not like to use
foreign language, but we wish to be deferential
to the scholarship of the staff of our contem-
poraly. Perhaps the reason why our classi-
cal friends adopt this style is because they
hold to the ancient notion that the seat Of
the intelligence is in the belly. But as for
criticising the arrangement, in the sense of
finding fault " It'll 1t, we shouldas soon think

The weavers in the Bates mills at Lewis
ton have apparently got to choose between
8 per cent less wages or no wages at all.
Mr.. Barker says the mills are being run at a
positive loss and wages must be cut down or
the mills be shut up. The corporation is
willing to run them all winter and not make
cent, but will not run ,hem at a loss. The
trouble is that the market is overstocked.
Under the circumstances the wisest thing
the weayers can do is to accept the rednc-
ton and keep at work. A half loaf is a
good deal better than none.

Relying on testimonials written in vivid
glowing language of some miraculous cures
made by some largely pulled up doctor or
patent medicine has FASTENED thousands to

sane faith that the same miracle will be per-

Meredith Mathews, the son of J. P. Math-
ews who was shot at Hazelhurst, Miss,
while voting the Republican ticket, replies
in the New York Tribune to the statement
of Congressman Barksdale of Mississippi in
reference to that affair. Barksdale, it will
be remembered, undertook to show that the
murder was chiefly the result of personal
hostility between Mathews and Wheeler the
man who did the shooting, and attempted
to fortify this theory by alleging that Math-
ews was corrupt man who had made him
self obnoxious to the people of Copiah coun-
ty by his bad administration of the sheriff s
Office under the Ames regime. The muir
derci mans son seems to show conclusively
that Barksdale's explanation is false and the
alleged facts cited to support it false also.
Instead of having incurred the enmity of the
people of Copiah county Mathews was so
popular that the Democrats tried to per-
suade him to run for sheriff on their own
ticket, and instead of his administration of
the sheriff's office being bad it was so con-
spicuously good as to call out a letter of
communication from Judge Cooper of the
Supreme court of Mississippi, himself a
Bourbon, and political opponent of Math-
ews Instead also of there being any person
al hostility between the murdered man and
Wheeler prior to the shooting it is shown
that their relations were pleasant and al
most intimate. Wheeler traded at Math.
ews's store and only short time before the
shooting had taken supper at his house. He
had also solicited Mathews to support him
for Mayor. Young Mathews says that
Wheeler shot his father simply because the
Democrats had decreed his death and Wheel
er had been selected by lot to do the decd.
If this statement be true the killing Of
Mathews was political measure pure and
a.
