brought about by the present City Coun-
Gil, which Is tie on the time question.
When the all-important matter of setting
the town clock came up at the first meeting
of the new board the Mayor broke the tie
sOothe the other side, the Mayor on q tie
ballot, voted that the town bell should be
rung by local time. So the subscription"
bell is no longer rung, as the locals say
one bell is enough.
AS it Is now, one must have his wits
about hum to know whether to be hungry
or not. If he casts his eye toward the
Methodi st steeple he finds that dinner will
be ready In ten minutes but IT he Is to dine
with standard" family he must wait
half an hour. If he works in the big shoe
factories or certain mills he can snoOze un-
til the sun floods his room: but if employed
in other factories or mills he must be on
his way to work when the town clock
points to $50. Still other employers stick
to standard time, but, to accommodate their
workmen, have fixed the workinR-hours at
from $50 to 11:30 and from 1899 to $50.
Thus 1T will be seen that three times are
in vogue in this little city, which should be
satisfied with one first-class time. Begin
ming at $50 in the morning there Is blow
ing OF whistles, followed ten minutes later
by more whistllng by the "lOcap factories,
and again in twenty minutes by the stand
ard" whistles. This is repeated at 1880,
11:4O and ~ noon, at 1890, 1910 and p. NJ,
and at 5:3O, $40 and p. NJ.
. The friends of both times are firm, and
the fight promises to be continued until an
other generation grows up.

a Maine City Where Politics Hinges on Set
ting the Town Clock.
Gardiner (Me) Special to ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Gardiner is great city in which to have
good time, because one can have it by
either standard OF local time. Ever. since
the general adoption of standard time there
has been a fight over this question, and in
it ordinary politics is entirely lost sight of.
In all municipal elections the candidates
are either standard" or local" and the
friends of the two grades of time fight out
their. differences at the polls. When
standard time went into effect six years
ago this city, In common with nearly every
city and town in the State, adopted the
new time. Notwithstanding that it was
twenty-one and a half minutes slower than
local time. People could remain in bed a
little longer in the morning and sit up later
at night, which seemed great improve
ment on the old order of things.
Then the summer season came, and the
workingmen, with little gardens to look
after. found that the sun was running on
the old time, and that darkness shut down
upon the earth so soon after supper that
the weeds could not be looked after. To
offset this. old Sol was high in the heavens
when they went To work, and this made
them feel like lazy loafers. While they had
spare time in the morning, they claimed it
could not be utilized to so good an advan-
tage as the same length of time In the even
ing.
The argument was good and in few
years local city government was elect
ed and a vote was passed returning to the
old time. A year or two later the opposi.
ton won. and the city went back TO the
standard time again.
But the locals" were not to be beaten
A subscription paper was started TO buy n
church clock to run by local time, and as a
result, 5000 clock was placed in the steeple
of the Methodist Church III opposition to
the town clock in the steeple of the Uniyer-
saIist Church. run by standard time The
Methodist bell was also rung at o'clock.
local time. each day. while the Episcopal
bell, the old town bell. pealed forth at o
o'clock standard time.
This is the state of affairs at present
with the exception that the Episcopal bell
is now rung at o'clock local time. and the
Methodist bell is sQuelched. This was

In July.
Why do you look so dull and glumi
It's hot.
Why are we all so quarrelsomel
It's hot
Life seems a burden hard to bear;
No clOthing's thin enough to wear;
If we were wicked, how we'd swear;
It's hot.
The city seems an oven now;
It's hot.
The Precipitation battles your brow:
It's hot.
You do not feel inclined to work;
If you could get a chance, you'd shirk;
But you're the owner, not the clerk;
It's hot.
Well, never mind, although to-day
It's hot,
Therell come a time when you can't say
It's hot.
The winds will whistle, fierce and chill,
December SHOWS your whiskers fill,
And then you'll growl-yOu know you will
It's cold.

A Song OF Nature.
SeclusiOn sweet of messy nook,
Outstretching to the darkling brook,
where, far from toll OF pen and book,
/ wait the night
AS some lone shepherd with his crook
On Alpine hight.
Afar the call of chapel bell
From yonder tOw'r doth softly swell
And beck0ns where the hOneyod cell
OF knowledge CLEANS
Afar from raptures of the dell,
And pleasant dreams.
Give me the splendor of the sky,
The wales and hills that round me lie;
The freedom of the clouds on high,
And for thy share
Take failing glance of learning's eye,
And looks Of care.
Mine be the wealth the year endows
Upon the ripened, dropping bOughs,
When mid the aftermath carouse,
The lazy bees
And swallows urge their feathered plows
Ger southern seas.
All these to me are more than sweet,
And often win my wandering feet
From Learning's high, uneasy seat,
Thro' glens of natures lone retreat.
Forever gay.
care not for the fame of him
On Learning's mountain shrouded dim;
Mine be the theme OF lowly hymn
The swallows sing,
AS DER the meadowland they skim
With level wing.
1 fear me that my way has gone
Too far along the fiow'ry lawn,
Now with the crowd to be withdrawn
Todusty track
OF former days, and wander on
And ne'er gaze back.

If all the ships have at sea
Should come a-sailing home to me
All! well, the harbOr could not hold
One-half the sails that there would be
If all my ships came home from sea.
If half the ships / have at sea

All. WELL l should have wealth as great
AS any king who sits in state;
SO rich the treasures there would be
In half my ships now out at sea.
If just one ship have at sea
Should come a-sailing home to me
All! well, the storm-clOud then might frown,
For IL the others all vent down,
So rich, so proud so glad I'd be
If that one ship came home to ME.
If that one ship went down at sea
And all the others came to me,
Weighted with wealth untold,
The poorest soul OH earth I'd be
If that one ship came not to me.
Oh, skies be calm, oh, winds blow free,
Blow all my ships safe home to me;
But If thou sendest home wreck,
To never more come sailing back,
Send any, all that skim the sea,
But send my love ship home to me.

Two Views OF Life.
Though the sun shines warm
And the sky is blue,
Though the heart Is light
And its troubles few,
Yet the sky will cloud
And the rain will fall,
Till the heart be clOaked
In sorrows pail,
And it's somber folds
Until death will cling.
All, life is dirge
That we all must sing.
Though the sky will cloud,
And the rain will fall,
Though the heart grow sad
And its pleasures pail,
Yet the clouds will break
And the rain will cease,
And the burdened heart
Will find release
In the new hopes born
With the new born day.
sAh, life is song
