as It was possible to be. os;
Yes. Hugh decided that cha ives Just
such a woman as his eccentric aunt would
be likely to select as the wife Of her heir.
In the weeks which followed Uugh's
arrival he saw great deal of Miss Wayne,
although much Of her time was divided
between her taste for literature and in
demonstrating against the innocent
pranks of her cousin.
1t did not require a long time for the
Young man to realize that he could never
love Miss Wayne as the man should love
the girl whom he intends to marry.
He made another important discovery
that his life would be a failure without
the little cousin to furnish daily sunshine
and wifely cheer for his own home.
He resolved to let Miss Wayne have
one-halt Of his aunt's estates and tho
orphan asylum the other. He would
marry the girl of his own choice, pro.
vided he could win her, and boldly fight
his own way through life.
Having so decided Hugh set out for a
stroll along the river, feeling more manly
for his resolve.
He came suddenly upon little figure
in white, reading, in little whey nook
by the rivers side.
"Wait, Estelle," he called, for she had
started to run away. "I shall leave to-
morrow, and | have something to say to
you which you must hear"
The telltale flush which swept owe,
face and neck at his words might have
given some hint of an easy surrender.
However, in moment she had regalned
that customary piquancy which had
more than once exasperated Hugh.

The Cotton Picker.

The path of the inventor is usually
strewn with rocks, and foot-sore and
weary are the travellers; but if the path
leads in the right direction it ends in a
bed of roses. Field, Goodyear, Bell,
Howe, and Mccormick each had an in
vention worth kings ransom, but were
forced to travel the rocky road before
money could be obtained to place their
invention on a paying basis. How many
read their history and think if they had
such chance how quick they would be
to embrace it. While the truth is that
they do have just such an opportunity,
but fail to recognize it. The invention OF
the Cotton Picker is second in impor-
lance to nothing that has been brought
out this century, and the opportunity IS
now presented to invest in an enterprise
that must be so profitable that a calm,
dispassionate statement of the facts
would be considered fabulous by many.
But the facts are easily learned, and
can be used to base prediction of re-
suits. People who wish to profit by the
knowledge of what may be safely ex-
pected Of the Cotton Picker must act
promptly. Howe and Bell worked hard to
force the fact of the great value of their
inventions upon the attention of the peo-
pie of Boston for years before they sue
ceeded in obtaining the indispensable
financial backing to put the companies,
formed to manufacture their machines,
on paying basis.
The invention of Angus Campbell has
only been presented few months, and
proves that this is faster and better age
for inventors, and that the Bostonians
are more appreciative than they were, for
the Cotton Picker Company has made as
much progress in raising funds to estab-
fish their business in few months as did
either Howe or Bell in as many years.
Shrewd investors, profting by the lesson
of the past, are embracing the opportu-
nifty now presented of sharing in the
profits sure to ensue from the use of the
Lone Star Cotton Picker, and are aware
that prompt action is needed to secure it,
as only a limited amount Of stock is
offered.
1t has been said that "The Goddess of
Fortune offers a GOLDEN opportunity to
each person at some period of life; en-
brace it and she pours out her riches;
fail to do SO and she departs, NEVER to
return" All would embrace, did they
recognize. Successful men investigate
opportunities as they meet them, and if
they are really golden, invest and profit
by so doing while the unsuccessful do
not glance at the riches the Goddess
offers. There is wealth in the Cotton
Picker. 1t will pay to look at the ma
chine at 81 Milk ST, Boston, Mass, and
if you look long enough to learn the
facts, you will scarcely fail to purchase
stock in the company, and share in the
general prosperity Of those interested
in it.

in the world, and there is a painful lack
of opportunities for the young and en-
terprising among them. 1t would seem
the most natural thing that they should
be scientifically trained for nurses.
The Chicago hospital is an old three
story brick, and over the door are the
words "Provident Hospital" It is often
SO crowded with patients that the nurses
have to sleep in chairs, yet their zeal and
application are unwearied. Over $50
patients have been treated, of whom a
third were white, and all are enthusiastic
in praise of the colored woman's capacity
for scientific nursing. The pupils learn
anatomy, physiology, pathology and
how to cook tempting dishes for the con-
valescent. But there is room for very
few, and hundreds of applicants are
turned away. Those who have investi-
gated the experiment think great prob
lem has been solved and that neat and
fairly well educated colored girls are to
be the nations nurses.

THE MILE TRACK.
Work Will Be Commenced About April
18th.

Statements recently published that the
proposed fast mile track near this city
was languishing were wholly unauthor-
lied by the facts in the case. When MI.
George Burnham accepted the presidency
of the Maine Mile Track Association that
virtually settled the question as to the
construction of first class track.
An adjourned meeting OF the directors
was held at the Preble House Saturday
afternoon. 1t appeared by the report
that about $4,000 of the stock had been
taken by responsible parties and not the
least doubt existed about the whole $685.
900 would be taken by next Saturday.
By request of a telegram received from
President Burnham, who had been de-
tanned by business in New York, FUR
Their adjournment to April 2 was taken.
Mr.. Griffin, the fast track builder, is
now in the West, but will return in time
to commence the word for the new track
on the Jose site at Cape Elizabeth about
April 18th.
Mr.. Griffin thinks that with such a
natural soil to build on he can construct
as fast regulation track as any kite
shape now in the country.
The great majority of experienced
horsemen say that the kite track is only
suited to record breaking purposes and
very unfair to the public to witness
race. They predict they will soon fall
into disfavor, and that records made
upon them them will be Disseminated
against by the national association.
The management will endeavor to have
Arion and Nelson as attractions at the
opening of the track July 4th. There is
good opening for some one to erect
good boarding house to take charge of
the builders of the track, grand stand,
fences, stables, and in caring for the at
PENDANTS of the 200 and 300 horses that
will train here this season. This letter
has been received from Mr.. Griffith.
SEDALIA, Mo-, March IT, '92.
NV Dear Sir-Your favor of the 18th came
duly to hand. In regard to the shape OF the
track am Stl!l OF the same OPINION aS WneH Ill
your city. l should dislike to give up the regu-
1ation, for on that track, at your place, ! shall
advise drivers and and trainers to look for that
$4,000 Of Mr.. Bonner's. My enthusiasm over
your site increases every day. People may
think I am foolish for being carried away with
the old bog, but time will tell think we can get
one foot fall the last quarter which, with rub
Der cushions, must send them along close to
where that $4,000 is deposited. / think you will
like the Orod stretches and 80 rod turns and I
should like it so laid out.
Very truly yours,

where is George E. webster?

Some years ago Geo. E. Webster mar
ried an English girl in Freeport. They
had one child. Later he deserted his
wife, came to Portland and became as
sistant night Waterman at the Canal bank.
The wife followed him to the city and he
left the bank. The wife returned to Free
port. About a year ago the wife heard
her husband was working for the Port
land company. She came to see about it
but Webster had vanished. Last week a
letter was received in Portland from M.
G. Webster of Cumberland, inquiring for
Georges address. The brother had
considerable property left him in Eng
land and he wanted to transactimportant
business with George before he left. Tt
is surmised from the letter that George
has come into the property too. His
child, boy, is about three years old.

Human Relics of Pompeii.

In the museum at Pompeii are pre-
served the most horrid and pathetic
relics of the last days of the i'll fated
city. Early in 1868 the workmen who
were helping to unearth an immense
palace struck into cavity in the lava,
the nature Of which, of course, was a
mystery. Without breaking further
into it they poured plaster Of paris down
the crevices that were already opened,
and as soon as the plaster had hardened,
the crust of lava was carefully removed,
and lol the form of human being in
his last struggles was revealed The
outlines and form of the person ere
perfectly preserved, showing plainly
that he had been buried in boiling lava,
which. had hardened about him. The
intervening 1890 years and the heat of
the lava besides had reduced the body
to handful of dust, but the lava had
left cast natural as life.
Since that time several bodies have
been reproduced-one of them with the
features SO perfectly preserved as to
show the expression Of the face. In some
of the plaster casts parts Of the skeleton
are embedded. Two female casts which
are clasped in each others arms have
been called s'The Mother and Daughter"
Persons who have seen this group say
that there is nothing in all Pompeii more
touching than the utter despair depicted
upon the face of the 'fmother. st.

Walt Whitman was born at West Hills,

Walt Whitman was born at West Hills,
Long Island, New York, May 81, 1919.
He was educated in the public schools of
Brooklyn and New York city and learned
printing, working at his trade in summer
and teaching in winter. He also became
skilled as carpenter. For brief Pc
RODS he edited newspapers in New Or
leans and Huntington, l.. l. In 1947-4o
he made long pedestrian tours through
portions of the United States and Cana
da. His chief work, ''Leaves of Grass"
published in 1855, is series of poems
dealing with moral, social and political
problems. In it he made new and alb
rupt departure as to form, casting his
thoughts in mold, the~style of which is
something between prose and verse, al
together discarding rhythm and regular
metre, but uttering musical thoughts in
an unconventional way entirely his own.
Expecting the opposition and abuse with
which his volume was assailed, he spoke
of it as a sortie on common literary use
and wont, ON both spirit and form, adding
that a century may elapse before its trl-
umph or failure can be assured. During
the Rebellion, Whitman was called to the
bedside of his wounded brother and re-
manned with the armies, doing faithful
service as a nurse. His experiences are
wildly recorded in Drum Taps" and
Memoranda of the War" During his
war service he contracted illness which
permanently injured his health. Mr..
Whitman was called the good gray
poet and his admirers, both in this
country and England, have been extrava-
CANT in their praise.
