The Desire For Happiness.

There are some stars that we cannot
see at all when we look straight at them
but which become visible when we look
to one side. So there are things that we
cannot get when we try directly for
them, but which presently fall into our
laps if only we try hard enough for
something else. Everybody knows it is
that way with happiness. Make it a
primary object, and it leads you doubt
full chase, but ignore it in the rational
pursuit of something else, and presently
you may find it perched unnoticed on
your shoulder like a bird whose tail has
felt the traditional influence Of salt.
So, of course, the very first essential
to the achievement of happiness Of any
durable sort is to rise above the necessity
of being happy at all. 1t may be con-
ducive to this sort of achievement to re-
member that great spirits in all times
have found in their own voluntary dis
content a spur to ed endeavor.
Neither Lincoln nor B &C nor Carlyle
was happy man, but Lacy put the saddle
and bride ON their own depression and
rode it under whip and spur into immor-
tality. Columbus himself had low spir-
its, and Socrates and the judicious Hook
er both had Xantipr es.--Exchange.

What Is Said in Brockton.

Brockton, Mass, September 21.-Rev.
Delbert G.. Donnocker, late pastor of the
Free Baptist church in this city. and
few days ago appointed superintendent
of schools in Sandwich, Mass, was
quietly arrested at his home in this city
this morning, OH a charge of felonious
assault and is now in custody at Port
land, Maine. An Associated Press repre-
sentative here interviewed Rev. Mr..
Donnocker at the time the charge was
first made against him and he denied
the stories and expressed willingness to
face his accusers. The matter was
brought 80 the attention of the Free
Baptist association and that body passed
a resolution declining to believe in his
guilt on the evidence submitted A
short time ago he resigned as pastor OF
this church and accepted the superinten-
dency of schools in Sandwich. High
Sheriff Leander E. Cram of Portland,
Maine, reached town this morning armed
with bench warrant for the arrest OF
Donnocker on charge of felonious as
Governor Cleaves of Maine. With Deputy
Sheriff Orter he visited Donnocker's
residence on Ash street this forenoon and
arrested him. Donnocker did not appear
much surprised, and expressed willing
ness to 90 with the sheriff without
requisition papers He stated that he
supposed he would not stand much
chance iii Portland, as the sympathy OF
the public would be with his accuser.
He gave no intimation of his guilt, or
fear of facing the charge, Mrs. Donnocker
is confined to her bed having given
birth to child within a week.

Am obscure Litterateur.

It seems odd that a man could make
S12, 900 year in New York by writing
fiction. die and remain as utterly I'M
known as if he had never existed. Ar
thur Elder Nelson, whose death occurred
some days since, was such man. He
did not get even a three line obituary in
any newspaper. His dealings were most
ly with two huge New York concerns
devoted exclusively to the manufacture
of dime and half dime novels, and his
speciality was the fiction that deals with
boy pirates. boy aighwaymep, robbers
and other equally interesting Juveniles.
He started six years ago, when he was

Oxford man), he game to this country
shortly after attaining his majority. His
first effort in the line of blood and thun-
der narrative was made during his lei
sure as drug clerk.
The success of his production encour-
aged him to persevere, and for the last
two years he had worked steadily. His
publishers say that his own share of the
profits of his pen last year were $12.-
900, and he lived pretty well up to his
income. He spoke four languages, and
his wide reading and ripe scholarship
enabled him to wander at will in the
highways Of literature, plundering
wherever he saw an opportunity. Thus
his works wore, us a rule, mere plag1ar-
islns brought down to his readers level.
He never aspired to anything higher.
Certainly if he had wished to be serious
writer his income could never have ex-
ceeded say $500 a year, even had he
attained great vogue. AS it was, he
kept horse and carriage and enjoyed

Some Promising Trotters.

DR.. H. M. Moulton of Cumberland, has

six races this year, at Norway, Livermore

and Saco, and has won every one. His
best time was 1.27 for half a mile, which
beats this wears yearling record. Dr..
Moulton will try him Monday at Mystic
park for the thousand dollar guaranteed
stakes for foals of 1852, for one mile.
DR.. Maulten will also start at Mystic in

Two of the three bronze doors which
William Waldorf Aston has given to
Trinity church. in New York, have been
put in places in The side portals OF the
church and already have attracted the
attention of many visitors. Each door
is the independent conception of sculp-
tor, while all three are parts OF the plan
of an architect Richard "A. Hunt drew
the architectural design into which the
doors are fitted. To Carl Bitter was as
signed the great front portal. His work
is now under way, having been delayed
by the sculptor's occupation in the deco
ration of the Administration building at
the Worlds fair. When he has finished
his panels and the front door is cast in
bronze. it will be swung, and the whole
will be formally dedicated.-New York

who at that time wrote an excellent his
torV Of the church, which was published.
The original town OF North Yarmouth
was tract of land eleven miles by eight
in size and comprising nearly all of the
present towns o. o,l eEEmou1a, NORM Nl
herland and PoWnal. The first church in
North Yarmouth was established in 1870
and was the tenth in Maine Twenty
three Years later the second was estab-
iished in Harpswell. The Free church
was another off shoot IN 1889 and the
third child of the parent church was the
umberland church N 1913. 1t was the
fruit of a revival, ana hey. Rufus Ander,
son. a native of Londonderry n. H., and
a graduate of Dartmouth, was It's first
pastor. His salary was small, thtre were
dissensions in the church, and iiually,
wearied out, he resigned IN 1904. But
while he had this care he not only at
tended to the pastoral work, but also
planted the, rows OF stately elms, which
now as stately trees, are such an orna-
ment to the village of Cumberland
Centre
Rev. Amasa Smith, an old major OF
artillery in the Revolution, was the next
pastor, and remained until 1920. He was
a stern man, much respected and feared,
and ruled his congregation with an iron
hand.
Joseph T. HeSsenQel, y DrOlnef VI
William Fessenden of Fryeburg, preached
a short time but declined call; and in
1921 Samuel Stone was installed. He was
a graduate of Bangor seminary. Under
his pastorate the first Sabbath school
was established.
Isaac Weston was installed in 1880,
Joseph Blake III 1s41. In Mr.. Blake's
case radical innovation was made. For
many years the salary of the pastors had
been $500 annually, but for Mr.. Blake the
salary was made $500 and the rent of q
house was thrown in. He remained
until 1857.
In 1859 Ebenezer S. Jordan was called
and was pastor until 1870. Rev. tlriah
Small succeeded him but remained only
a short time, and in 1871 Rev. Gilbert B.
Richardson was called. In 1874 Mr.. Perry
came. Then Mr.. Jordan returned, to be
succeeded in 1888 by Daniel Green, who
was succeeded in 1892 by Mr.. Davis, the
present pastor.
The recurrence of family names in the
records OF the church membership WAS
commented upon by the historian.
There have been in the membership
e1ghty-nine Blanchards, fifty-three
Sweetsirs, forty-eight Princes and thirty
four Merrills.

NOT THE BEST OF TRACKS
But They Always Have the Best of Sport
at Scarboro.

d 7
The annual fair of Scarboro and Cape
Elizabeth at Pleasant Hill closed yester-
day afternoon under the suspicious cir
cumstanoes of fine weather, large attend
ance and two exciting and hard fought
races. There was particularly large at
tendance of Portland people, Fairfeld's
and the other barges taking out full
loads and scores ofprivatetteams carrying
their full quota. These fairs for many
years have been special favorites with
Portlanders, by reason of the beautiful
drive to them and interesting associa-
tions.
The chief events of the wind up of the
three days. successful meeting were the
races.
The Scarboro track is not the finest in
the country for great racing, but there
has been more genuine honest sport there
to the square acre within the past quarter
of century than any other place in the
country. ss
The judges in ancient stand yester-
day were Messrs. George, M. Stanwood, H.
w. Ilsley and J. G.. Monroe.
There were two races, one for the 2.4O
and the other for the 2. 30 class
The $40 class was started first, with
five horses in the field-Daisy, Ethel F.
Emery, Mary Ann and Meade.
Daisy took two heats quite handily.
The favorite mare Mary Ann was a
good second in each, and then she settled
down to her work and won the third.

having very nicely, meyer making break
