IT is a common saying that Maine is
no longer the pine tree State: The pine
tree is gone, says many people of Maine,
to whom a pine tree grove, to say moth
ing OF pine tree forest, is rare sight,
indeed. Yet the statistics of the amount
of lumber surveyed yearly in the port
OF Bangor show that the product of the
pine forest of the Penobscot is large and
quite constant Last year moro than
twenty mine million feet of pine lumber
was surveyed, and this is not far from
the average yearly survey for the years

Jessie seemed very much occupied
with her own thoughts next day as she
went about her work. At last O CLEAN
of mischief came into her eyes, and
she seemed to have arrived ut some set
tied determination, for, as she hung
the last piece of her snowy ironing on
the clothes-bars, she brought her
small foot down very emphatically and
said
"I'll do it if 1 ever have chance"
Her chance came that haying-time.
Deacon Lee had a nice lot of hay to
put In, and, as it was the fashion there
for the farmers to change work, he
concluded to have bee. Accordingly,
he asked number of his friends to
come, and made arrangements for a
big days work.
But when he returned to the house,
after moving a roadway to the north
meadow, he found that Mrs. Lee had
been taken suddenly i'll. The doctor
was hastily summoned, who said it was
necessary that the patient be kept per-
fectiy quiet-must not be worried about
anything-or it would result in brain
fever. He left two or three bottles OF
medicine, and went away again, leav-
ing the Deacon almost in danger OF
brain fever himself.
What should he do? In spite of his
thoughtlessness, he dearly loved Katie,
and was very anxious about her now.
In addition to this anxiety, were
his thoughts of the bee and the
care of his little girl and sick wife.
What wonder that his face was very
grave as he leaned over his wife, asking
if there was anything he could do OF
get for her.
He had her welfare too much at heart
to say one word that would worry her,
so when she began to speak of her
work he kissed her forehead and told
her that would be all right. But he
was relieved when she mentioned Jessie
he went to the window at once, to
watch for some one passing by whom
Nhe could send word; but, as no one
came, he was obliged to have little
Trot go for the nearest neighbor to
stay with Katie while he went after
Jess.
He found that young lady willing tc
come and take care of her sister; hut O
look the Deacon did not quite under
stand, or like, flashed into her face
when the bee was mentioned.

glorious climate of California, won the
hearts of seventeen committeeman, and
Chicago, with assurances OF comfort in
her many great hotels, had sixteen
votes on next to the last ballot; but the
contest was SO sharply drawn between
these two that st. Louis, whose thir-
teen lucky votes had prevented a
choice. came in victorious by way Of a
unanimous compromise.
At the date finally named for the
convention June 5-the weather at
st. Louis will probably be pleasant.
A month later it would be insufferably
hot. The convention will be held in
the Exposition building. which is
shown in the illustration. The east
nave will be fitted up for the purpose,
and chairs will be placed to accommo-
date 10000 people. The Music Hall,
which is in the same building, will seat
only 1000, and it is deemed too small
for the gathering expected.
Many Democrats will be disappoint-
ed that the convention will not be held
in the Merchants Exchange, which is
also shown in the illustration. 1t was

put forward Fremont, and succeeded
IN getting ia electoral votes for him.
Abraham Lincoln was the first Presi-
dental candidate nominated in Chi
cago. The Northern Democrats in that
year-le60-nominated Douglas of IL
linois. and the Southern, Breckenridge
of Kentucky.
Besides the convention that nomi-
mated Lincoln, Chicago has seen FIVE
national conventions of the great po-
litical parties, to say nothing of those
of lesser note. Mcclellan was nomi-
mated there in 1864, and Grant in 1868.
The convention of 1850 that nomi-
mated Garfield was, however, the most
noteworthy of them all, because it was
the scene of strong contention between
the different wings of the party. In
1884 the conventions of both the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties met in
that city.

June The Hon. j. S. Clarkson, OF
Des Moines, Iowa, the Chairman of the
subcommittee of the National Repub-
lican Committee, visited Chicago last
week, and, after going over the build
pleased, both with the promising
splendor of the great structure and the
progress being made. He said:
1T will be magnificent building. II
will be the finest convention hall ever
erected in this country. A feature in
the construction of the Auditorium and
one to which particular attention is
being paid is the arrangement of the
seats and galleries. They are very
much nearer the stage than is usual in
the construction of such a large audi
ence-room. The most distant seat is
only 10 feet from the rostrum. This
seat will be located in the upper gal
lerv. There will no. be poor seat in
the house, every one commanding q
good view of the stage. There is every
prospect that the next National Repub-
lican Convention will be more comfort
ably taken care of and better accom-
modated than any previous gathering
OF the kind. The location of the build
ing on the lake front, the massive
walls, etc, all tend to make the situa-
ton pleasant one.
"The convention hall will be seated
with stationary chairs. We will use
the theater system in taking care OF
the people this time. Each seat will
be represented by a ticket with a
coupon. The ticket will be taken up
at the door, and the coupon will be the
holders claim to seat. Tickets will
be issued for each day in place of sea-
son tickets as has formerly been the
rule. This will enable more people to
see the convention.
Chicago will have the honor of pos
sessing the greatest auditorium in
America. Every body will be surprised
at It's grandeur. Everybody will be
surprised at its grandeur. Eastern
people think it mere impudence fol-
Chicago to think of putting up SO
great structure in so short time
They have no idea that it will be sc
far completed that the convention can
be held in it. Mr.. Peck and his asso-
ciates have conferred great honor
on this city by providing such struc
ture. 1t will make it pretty sure thai
all the great conventions of America
both national and international will bt
held in Chicago. 1t will be the scene
of many an important event in America
1t will be hall of oratory, and many
musical, educational and religious con
ventions will take place there.

Boys, propose that We get some
wood for Miss Jessie TO cook this din
ner with" And the cheerful way in
which they accepted the proposition
made the Deacon ashamed Of his mo-
mentary anger.
When. An hour and q half later,
they again seated themselves at the
table, he was honest enough 10 sc-
knowledge to Jessie before them all
that the lesson had been needed and
he would try to profit by it.
He did profit by it; for when, q
couple of months later, Mrs. Lee was
first able to walk out in the yard, the
Deacon, with pardonable pride, took
her to see large, new woodshed, well
stocked with hardwood and kindling,
telling her as they stood there of the
way Jessie got dinner for him, and how
sorry he was that the woodshed had
not been built years before.
A mile or so from the Deacon's there
is q coy little house where Jessie cooks
dinners for Mr.. Brooks, and, to his
credit be it said, she has never been
obliged to try the same experiment
with him that she did with her brother
in-law. From the way Deacon Lee
laughs with her and her husband
about the way she taught him to keep
a supply of wood on hand, it is safe to
say he has forgiven her for the lesson.

Cruelty to Insects.

OF all the birds in this section, says
a Florida letter, there is one that will
afford an idler lots of amusement if he
will spend an occasional hour watching
closely. 1t is the shrike or butcher
bird. A few days ago l was in an
orange grove a few rods from the
house, where an old darky, with the
assistance of mule, was blowing. and
a butcher bird was flying from tree to
tree, following up the newly plowed
furrow, looking for insects. Every
few minutes he would go to pick up a
beetle or insect, and for some time he
simply swallowed his victims. After q
little he seemed to have had enough
to eat, and just then little flock of
larks were seen running along in the
newly turned furrow, at times almost
touching the old darky's heels. Now
and then they would come across an
insect too large for them to easily
manage, and then would begin little
scuHle. Then the butcher bird would
swoop down in the center of the little
flock, snatch up the insect, and fly off
with il before the larks knew what had
happened. The butcher bird had
eaten all he wanted, and so. with the
beetle in his beak, he flew to the near
est orange tree, and, selecting long
sharp thorn, he impaled the insect on
it. / watched this bird put at least
ten insects on different thorns. Dur
ing an hour, besides numerous large
insects, the butcher bird captured two
snakes, the largest of which was two
feet long. and very lively. These
snakes although they squirmed and
twisted, were taken with difficulty to
an orange tree, and, after good bit
of hard tugging, they were left with a
thorn through their bodies.
When the butcher bird is not look
ing for food or for victims to stick on
thorns, he is generally looking for
other birds for the purpose of fighting
them, and so he keeps busy from day
| light till dark.
