The squire did call again. He
came over and took tea, and ate of
Ruth's cherry-pie, and praised her
culinary accomplishments, and even
complimented her Oh her pretty
face.
But, somehow, he couldn't get
an opportunity to say anything to
her. She always managed to leave
him alone with her mother. The
squire had no objections to the
widows company. Indeed, he felt
far more at ease with her than he
did with her daughter; but he was
anxious to come to some understand
ing with regard to his matrimonial
schemes.
The summer past away, and yet
the squire hadn't 'come to an un-
derstanding" with Ruth.

Accordingly, he called at the
Widow Stevens that night. The
widow met him at the door, and
ushered him into the tidy sitting

IT'S USELESS TO REGRET.
We've done the host we could. my dear.
There's nothing 10 regret;
We've taught the children many truths
On which our hearts were set;
And If against our old-time ways
They foolishly protest,
We never need regret, my dear,
That we. have done our best.
There's many plan that's come to naught;
There's many light gone OUT
And disappointments, griefs, and cares
Have hedged us round about;
And many a sad mistake we've made
Throughout our lives. and yet
We've done the best we could;
It's useless TO regret.
For out Of evil good has come,
And out Of darkness light;
And all wrong-doing In this world
Some day will be set right:
And though we have not reached the height
Attained by others, yet
We've done the best We could, my dear;
IT'S useless TO regret.
We've tried TO live like honest folks,
To do our duty well,
'Gainst evil things TO take our stand,
In goodness to excel.
30 Judge yourself not harshly, dear,
Nor at misfortunes fret;
We've done the best we could, and so
IT'S useless TO regret.

DR.. WILLIAM r. eIDDlNes.
Formerly of Portland Commits Suicide in
Seattle.

A dispatch received from Seattle. W.T.,
yesterday announced that Dr. William f.
Giddingss prominent dentist of that city.
committed suicide in his office Sunday by
shooting himself through the head. The
despatch further stated that DR.. Giddings
was native of Portland Maine, and that
domestic troubles were probably tie cause
which led him to take his own life.
DR.. WilliamsF. Giddings was well known
in Portland, having been born mere about
forty,years ago. He WAS the son of the late
Ambrose Giddings and a sister of his is now
living here. DR.. Giddings went to the pub
lie schools here and graduated from the
Portland High school in 1874.
Soon after his graduation from the High
school young Giddings went into the office
of DR.. French, the we'll known dentist, at
499 l-2 Congress street. DIR. Kimball at that
time was occupying the same of1ce with
DR.. French. After serving an apprentice
ship with DIR. French, Mr.. GidGings went to
Boston and graduated from dental college
there
DR.. Giddings then went to New York and
occupied an office with DIR. Perry. Later he
went to Minneapolis and established him
self there, becoming one of the most promi-
ncnt dentists of the city. In Minneapolis
DIR. Giddings married a young lady who was
an attendant in the Office. Several years
ago Dr. Giddings returned to Portland and
took DR.. French's oi1lce with DR.. .Kimabll.
DR.. French going to Minneapolis and taking
the office vacated there by DIR. Giddings.
A son was born to Dr.. and Mrs. Giddings
in this city. But DIR. Giddjnes didn't seem
to be happy here. sold out his practice to
DR.. Talbot and decided to- go to Seattle.

Notes of Local Interest.

The Empire States seven days. fair
at Syracuse was satisfactory exhibi-
ton. Especially noteworthy were the
horticultural and live stock exhibits.
The New Jersey state fair at Waverly
was in some respects the best that the
state has ever held.
The first crop Of lettuce or cucumbers
grown in new greenhouse in fresh soil
is generally the best it ever will pro-
duce. Succeeding crops are more liable
to suffer from insects and disease.
The New England Homestead teaches
and believes in thorough preparation Of
the soil and continuous shallow culture
for corn. In ordinary seasons the differ
ence is often as much as 10 bushels per
acre, but this season the advantage is
even more clearly shown.

working the Pennsylvania interference
which was during the first half quite a
puzzle for the visiting team. The Kent's
Hill boys had very little difficulty in break

difficult to make good advances around the
ends. Although Kent's Hill did not play
its usual snappy game. yet It was far more
snappy than the, home team Of the home
