WELL KNOWN PoRTLANDERs.
Their Habits of Recreation-Those Who
Walk and Those who Ride.

Several months ago Hon. w. S. Dana
retired from active business, but has
been down town about as frequently
since then as he was before. He is IN
very vigorous health and takes a very
active interest in all public questions
likely to be considered by good citizen.
Mr.. Dana says that since his retire
ment from business he has been more
busy than he was before that event. He
is still connected with various institu-
lions and with the Board of Trade. Then
he has INDUCED his taste for reading to a
greater degree than before and finds
time pass rapidly.
Mr.. Dana is about the only well known
citizen of Portland who never rides. He
is strong and vigorous walker, one OF
the Charles Dickens Sort and never took
a fancy to horse. He is perhaps the
only man of his age in Portland who
at one time OF another during his life
never owned team.
Mr.. Peleg Barker, who owns some
good horse flesh, rides but seldom, being
almost as determined walker as Mr..
Dana. Once in while Mr.. Barker likes
to try his horses, but commonly he
walks down town every morning.
On the other hand the oldest inhabi-
| tant can't recall the time when he met
! Mr.. Payson Tucker out walking. The
general manager of the Maine Central
| likes a good horse, and is too busy to do
much walking. He isn't a fast driver
but when on the street prefers to KEEP
| moving.
General Neal Dow has given up walk
| ing, and is no longer seen down town ex-
cept in his carriage. Only year ago he
| was great walker.

Great Men from an Accident.

The history of a certain American
family furnishes several examples of a
beneficent result of disabling accidents.
The young son of farmer in a small
town in Massachusetts had his hand
crushed in his fathers cider mill, and
being thus untitled to gain his livelihood
by farming was sent in due time to the
academy to commence preparation for
a professional life. He died q memb Der
of the United States senate.
A boy who belonged to another branch
of the same family, in the vicinity Of
Boston, cut his knee badly and was long
confined to the house. His kind pastor
supplied him with books, and perceiving
that he had natural aptitude for study
taught him Latin and finally induced
his parents to send him to college.
The young man was graduated at Har-
ward and became minister of the gos-
pei One of his sons was general in the
army of 1912; another served his coun-
try in congress.
The son who entered college had six
sons who were college educated men, all
prominent in their profession-one a
judge of the superior court of New
Hampshire and another professor for
forty years in New England college
and eminent as an author.
All this life of education and useful
ness, extending through three genera
tions, may be said to have started in a

A Triump PHI of Civilization.

There is large farmer near me, a
clever. and successful man in his way.
who married (as men sometimes do) a
foolish wife. His daughters are placed
at an expensive school in Brighton. and
are carefully debarred by their mother
from all acquaintance, not only with
teamwork and housework, but with such
elementary feminine knowledge as the
simplest servantmaid can enjoy. They
may not make or mend their own clothes;
they may not use the needle.
81 am happy to say" their proud
mother said lately to a lady; Il am
happy to say, ma'am, that my daughters
cannot even sew" But they can play
the piano-after fashion-they have a
smattering of French, they could and
would if they were asked) go to garden
parties in evening dress. So greatly has
civilization triulnphed in their case.-

Sixteenth-While inviting to our shore
the worthy poor and oppressed of othe1
nations, we demand enactments of law that
will protect our country and people against
| the influx of vicious and criminal classes of
foreign nations, and the importation oi
laborers under contract to compete with
our own citizens, and earnestly approve the
the present administration.
J. Seventeenth-We are opposed to the i'm
migration of Chinese laborers to the United
States, anil demand such existing laws as
shall effectually and forever exclude Chi
nese laborers from American soil.
| Eighteenth-We are in favor of an amend.
ment to the constitution of the United
States providing for the election of United
States senator by direct vote of the people.
| Nineteenth-Good roads being essen
tial to the welfare of all communities, and
especially to the farming community, W e
avor such amendment to the existing laws
as will enable the several counties of the
state to levy tax not to exceed five mills
for roai purposes.
| Twentieth-We take pride in commend
ing the work of the last republican congress,
which, in the face of democratic lilibuster-
ing, passed the Mckinley tariff law, re-
ducing the surplus revenues many millions
of dollars; increasing the free list by adding
thereto many of the great necessaries OF
our daily life not produced here in suffi-
cient quantities to supply the demand; anil
otherwise readjusted the tariff laws; passed
the customs administration act; pension
laws; land grant forfeiture act, restoring
many million acres of land to the public
domain; the postal subsidy act; the anti
lottery act; the antitrust law and many
other great measures, in the interests of
the general welfare of the American people.
Twenty -first-We congratulate the coun-
try upon the success and prosperity that
have marked the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison. 1t has brought dignity.
v1gor and craftsmanship to the conduct of
our foreign affairs, and will settle many
grave international complications upon a
basis which secures every American right.
and has indicated to the nations of the earth
that it is able to and will protect the rights
of the United States and of the people
thereof in ev cry quarter of the globe.
Twenty -second-We favor the prompt
construction of ample defenses for all the
United States, the building of an efficient
navy, and the maintenance Of the Monroe
doctrine.

One ChiId,s Dream.

Harriet Martinesu relates that, of her
many childish fancies, perhaps none
was SO terrible as a dream she had at
four years old. 81 dreamed" she says,
''that we children were taking walk
with our nursemaid. Out of the public
house there came stag with prodigious
antlers. Passing the pump. it crossed
the road to us and made polite bow,
with its head on one side, and with a
scrape of one foot; after which it pointed
with its foot to the public house, and
spoke to me, inviting me in. The maid
declined. and turned togo home. Then
came the terrible part.
"By the time we were at our own door
it was dusk, and we went up the steps
in the dark; but in the kitchen it was
bright sunshine. My mother was stand
ing at the dresser, breaking sugar, and
she lifted me up and set me in the sun,
and gave me bit of sugar. Such was
the dream which froze me with horrorl
Who shall say why?'' concludes the mar
rator, looking back from her strong
minded maturity to that vividly remem-
bered childish dream, and utterly un-
able to understand .'what the fright was
about.

The Horses Knew the Tune.

A relation of mine, who has spent
many years in India, remembers well
how, when living in Lucknow and en-
joying the evening drive with other
English residents in the Indian city, the
carriage horses would toss their heads
and paw the ground irnpatiently when
the first notes of "God Save the Queen
were played by the military band every
evening. It was the last tune played,
the signal for dispersion.
A skeptic-or, perhaps, more than one
having insisted that the horses only
knew the tune because it was always
played last, and they were able to calcu.
late time, the experiment was tried OF
playing "God Save the Queen" in the
middle, instead of at the end of the
evening. Instantly there was the same
excitement in the horses standing round
1.-The course" The same impatient toss
ing of the head and prancing of the feet,
the same general stampede and eager
ness to start homeward.
No one could any longer doubt that
they knew and recognized the air; in
fact, that they could tell one tune from
another.-London Spectator.

Ice Made by Natural Gas.

An inventor in Buffalo has devised a
process for making ice by utilizing the
intense cold created by the expansion Of
natural gas when liberated from the
high pressure at which it issues from
the wells. In the experimental plant
the gas is used at its initial pressure. or
from $50 to 200 pounds to drive a small
engine. After use in the engine the gas
exhausts into closed box, and the ex-
pansion generates sufficient cold to form
slabs of ice three inches thick to the
amount of three-quarters of ton in a
day. 1t is claimed that the principle
can be applied economically on large
scale.-New York Telegram.

Discouraging the Use of Tobacco.

Professor Smith, formerly of Bowdoin
college, did not like to have the students
chew tobacco during recitations and
took effectual means to break up the
practice. A boy who was called upon
to recite one day, not expecting to be
pulled. as the saying goes. on the next
day in succession, would go into tbs
class and chew tobacco during the hour.
Whenever .'Cosine' noted this he was
morally certain to ask that student a
few questions, and by keeping him up
fifteen minutes or SO would manage to
put him in position where he would
either have to swallow copious amount
of tobacco or else choke. Such vigorous
treatment had beneficial effect.-Lew-
iston Journal.

VAN BENNETT

Scores a Point--Lot Republicans
Speak out or Forever Hold Their
Peace
In recent speech Van Bennett took
up in detail the Minneapolis Conven-
ton and the utterances of the advo-
Gates of protective tariff. Comment
ing upon the speech made by Chair
man Mckinley, he made point which
should receive the careful attention of
those interested in the financial con-
dition of our country. In his speech
upon this occasion Governor Mckinley
said:
1--WE propose to raise our money to
pay public expenses by taxing the
products of other nations rather than
by taxing the products of our own"
To this Mr.. Bennett replies:
Now, this can be done, or it cannot.
If it cannot be done, the Governor of
Ohio has lied. If it can be done, why
did he take the $60O00,000 Of tax of
of sugar that went into the treasury
of the United States, which was
money to "pay public expenses" and
make our people pay two cents a
pound bounty to our American sugar
makers, and let in the product OF
sugar from foreign countries free
Somebody has magnificently lied. II
we can tax the products Of foreign
countries and put money into the
treasury to pay public expenses, why
did Mckinley stop foreigners from
paying $60,000,000 year into oul
treasury for public expenses and
make orr people pay $15,O00,000 8
year to help American sugar makers
and thus lose $60,0O0,000 annually
which we add to our expense and pay
out of our own pockets besides SIS,
100000; dead loss to the treasury
and people of $75, 100000, and cleal
gain to the sugar syndicates of Ameri
ca of $l5,000,O00? This is the 'recip
: rocal prosperity that Tom Reed talked
about. Sugar would have been jus

And then let the advocates of the grea
