A call has been issued for a non-partisan
Woman's Christian Temperance Union con-
vention to be held in the Congregational
church at Foxcroft. Sept Both, Oct. LIST and
I'd. The call is based upon the belief that
temperance work should be kept above tn
plane Of party politics and that there are
now many women who in their organized
work feel subjected to party limitations.
This call is signed by many influential
women in different sections Of the state.
The contemplated convention is likely to
be an interesting one. Mrs. Ellen J. Phin-
ney Of Cleveland, Ohio, the national presi-
dent, Is expected to be present and also Mrs.
Ellen j. Foster of Iowa. Mrs. Foster has
just returned from vacation in Europe but
while there did good work in TIE temperance
cruise. Before sailing for America the
British Woman's Temperance Association of
London extended 10 her formal vote of
thanks for the valuable assistance she had
rendered them in securing victory in the
recent mo compensation to publicans" agi-
tation.
Mrs. Foster is to speak in one or two other
places In the state and will be heard with
profit and pleasure. The business matters
coming before the convention will include
the details of organization and also the dis
cussion of change in the national name of
the organization. The present one by vote
OF the national body at Cleveland last winter
Is subject to change il the local unions so
decide.
Half fare rates will be given over the
Maine Central and Canadian Pacific lines.
All persons interested in this movement
are cordially invited and those intending to
be present will send their names as early as
possible to Mrs. III. B. Flynt. Dover, Maine.

them for the rest Of their natural lives. The

the unimproved order OF anarchists which
these women largely keep alive is not blessed
with much surplus cash, the threatened dis

OF the latter body. For their own good, and
that of the general public the Chicago Cen

A Maine Pedagogue Who Could Manage

A quaint story is told about Master
Tommy Anderson, an old-time pedagogue.
Once he taught school in Pennington
where the boys had driven out several
teachers. He found that the chef con-
,spirator was good-looking, grown-up girl,
bright, saucy and proud. The school
master wore his hair in a cue, as
was the fashion in those day When
he was doing sum-" with his head
down, she tossed his cue back and forth
as II 1t were toy, much to the amusement
Of the scholars Uncle Tommy said moth
ing but kept UP quite thinking. He knew
If he called out the guilty girl and pun
ished her the big boys would rise and carry
him out. SO he adopted unusual tactics in
conducting his campaign. He found a lot
OF long hair hanging up in barn. From
this he selected and smoothed out bunch
resembling cue and tied it up nicely with
a ribbon. Taking this to the school-room
early the next morning, he suspended it
from the peg where the girl always hung her
cloak and hood, then he commenced TO set
copies as usual. When she came in and
spied the curious cOntrivance she looked
surprised and puzzled. Quoth Master
L ommy in mild tone of voice: Miss,
have brought that bunch of hair for Won to
use as playthlng instead of my cue" The
proud-spirited girl was Inundated before
the whole school and could not helm CRYING,
Uncle Tommy had won the victory by
stratagem, rather than by force of arms. and
had no further difficulty with his scholars.
