When Ira f. Clark engaged in the clothing
business in Portland, some ten years ago, he
was seriously thinking of going West in a
few years. Times change and he has changed
with them. After careful canvas Of the
situation he is convinced that Portland Of
fers opportunities for business success to
live men. He has therefore de-
cided to remain permanently in Portland
and go to work with the same vim and vigor
to build up and extend his business here,
that he would have done had he gone West,
and from this time on he will go to work in
earnest to deserve and secure the largest
patronage of any retail store in his line of
Business in Maine. If honest goods, bed
rock prices and careful personal attention
to business count for anything he expects to
succeed. he believes thoroughly in the bus
mess possibilities of Portland and also be-
lieyes that now is the time to develop and
realize on them. We need more manufact-
uries. Let us do something practical to
bring them here. For his part he will give
$500 in cash. 500 to the manufacturing
concern that will locate permanently in
Portland, within one year, and give employ
ment to fifty hands or more and $500 each to
two concerns that will give employment to
one hundred persons each, or more. He
also believes in more liberal policy on the
part Of the city toward new manufactures,
large and small, and is thoroughly convinced
that an abatement of taxation, such as pre-.
walls largely in western cities, would prove
advantageous to all concerned. 1t should be
kept in mind that the people who find en-
ployment in these factories have got to live
here and spend their money here. Many Of
them win be our own Portland boys and
girls, who are leaving the city daily in
search of employment elsewhere.

The Late MRS. st. John smith,

To the Editor Of the Press:
A few years ago the Preside, of a winter
evening, at st. John Smiths, corner of
Spring and Oak streets, was one of the
pleasantest scenes that social or domestic
life Affords The hustling storm or still cold
air without, In striking contrast with the
glowing fire, genial comfort and cheerful
talk within, gave that fine sense of superior
ity to nature which constitutes one of the
chief moral effects of northern climate,
and for which more genial ATTITUDES offer no
substitute. The deep fireplace with its
shining brazen Leouipage, the liberal wood
of oak, beach or maple from the mountains /;
the favorite dog stretched on the rug asleep,
his feet twitching, and now and then a
gentle howl, as il in dreams he followed the
fox or hare through covert and glen; two or
three children laughing at riddles and open
your mouth and shut your eyes,; man
with kind of Abraham Lincoln like face,
quiet and half-sad, but awake to the sympa-
thies of the hour as they flashed in child
hood play, or in wit and wisdom of old time
story; woman, in whose face all the
lights and shades Of human feeling passed,
from indignant sense of wrong, deep and
tender sympathy with sorrow, to shining
gladness. The scene is human picture on
which memory fingers, and delights to re-
store The heart chastened by years and
experience of the life of man sees more in
that scene now than then. As it recedes in
distance, the vista is deeper and the per-
| spective more profound. 1t awakens sense
| of mystery, and the open fire within and the
| storm without, suggest the wisdom of the old
| N0rthumbrian chief: II will tell you, O
Kingl what methinks mans life is like.
Sometimes when your hall is lit up for sup
per on wild winters evening, and warmed
| by fire in the midst, a sparrow flies IN by
one door. takes shelter for a moment in the
warmth, and then flies out by another door,
| and Is lost in the stormy darkness. No one
in the ball sees the bird before it enters, nor
after 1t has gone forth; it is only seen while
it hovers near the fire. Even SO, ween, as
What has gone before it, what will come
after it-of this we know nothing!' We
learn with the old Northumbrian to rest lin
| great general truths and not be too definite.
| o Godl l amp, and Thou artl That's

| "The years at the Spring
And days at the morn
| Mornings at seven;
The hillsides dew-pearled;
| The lark's on the wing;
| The snails on the thorn;
| Gods in heaven
| ALPS right with the world!'
Mrs. st. John Smith was singularly happy
In her life. in being the tpresiding spirit in
that scene. She was frank, generous, out
spoken, with likes and dislikes that were nc
neutral tints, but positive colors; and in hel
heart there were profound depths of WON
