COLDAT CAsH's CORNER.
Where the Hospital Milk Comes from
Milkmen's Early Hour

Mr.. J. johnson, of Cash's Corner,
came into the PRESS office early yester
day morning to pay for his paper. He
said that at s. 80 that morning the ,ner-
curry was only IA degrees above zero at
his farm, and he was sure it was colder
later in the morning, though he didn't
look to see. Mr.. johnson gets up at
about 8. 80 every morning, though he is
a man past the prime of life. He and his
partner, Mr.. Bowers, have 20 cows to
milk, and it necessitates such early ris-
ing. Mr. johnson started for Portland
at 6 O'Clock. They supply the Maine
General Hospital with from 16 to IS two
gallon cans of milk per day, total of
from 1873 to IA quarts. Mr.. Johnson
goes to bed generally about O'Clock in
the evening.
Some miIkmen who live in Deering
and Westbrook start for Portland at
about $50 a. M They don't milk before
starting, but bring the milk of the even
ing before. When they get home they
generally take a nap of couple of
hourS

and as tn fodder, there were few villages,
and those at great distances apart,

of four ponies. There are no medical
arrangements and no am bulance corps,
Chinese custom being to strip their
wounded and leave them. They have
firearms of all makes, and the varying
cartridges are huddled together with
out any attempt ut classification. The
conduct of a war with a well equipped
enemy under these circumstances in
wolves an amount of needless suffering
and a prodigal waste of life which one
shrlnks from thinking of; but China
may beat in the long run in spite of all.
The excitement in Moukden and the
anti-foreign feeling are daily increasing,
and the high officials are alarmed even
for their own positions, as they are left
with very few reliable soldiers. Some of
them regard the deep dissatisfaction which
prevails, even in Manchuria, with the
present dynasty as the greatest of
China's perils at this time. An imperial
proclamation in the interests OF the
safety of foreigers has just arrived from
Pekln, which it is hoped may allay some
what the prevailing excitement; but
Manchuria, from its proximity to the
seat of war, can hardly be expected to
be calm especially as it is likely to suffer
more than any of the provinces of
China"

THE TowBoAT co.'s CLAIMS.
On what Grounds They Will Contest the
Crank Trunks Suit for $4,000 for the
Injury to the Bridge.

The towboat Plymouth, having been at
taobed for $4,000 by the Grand Trunk rail-
road for alleged damages done to the draw
of the Grand Trunk bridge by the towboat
several weeks aso, while towing the mud
scow from Back Cove, it is worth while to
look at the other side of the story. The
rowboat company will fight the case. of
course, as they claim that it was not due to
the Plymouth that the accident occurred.
They claim that the towboat had passed
through the draw, and that the draw nd
ers had carelessly left the draw unloe. d so
that a strong gust of wind swung it PARTIAL
ly around and it was struck by the scows
and damaged. Had the draw tenders been
attending to their business it wouldn't have
happened. 1t is further claimed that Mr.
Leavitt, of South Portland, the United
States inspector of dumping, who was
present on the tug at the time, declares
that he thought then. and said that there
would be trouble about the accident, and he
therefore noted down what has above been
claimed in regard o the draw tenders, and
all the incidents of the event, the length of
the tow line. the situation of the tug and
scOws, etc.

In the Way of Investments

1t is evident that the best and most
solid investment, where speculation
/. is not contemplated, that is offered
in the United States today is a pol
icy in the New York Life Insurance
Company In saying this I Of course
have in mind every sensible mans
wish to proftably lay aside a GER
tain amount each year with a view
of its accommodating into a snug sum
of wealth, or as a wise provision for
the comforts of old age, or for a
rainy day. AS an investment, it
will pay better interest than a gov
eminent bond; and as for safety,
the New YORK LIFE is AS SOUND AS
THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF Such a
policy is at any time readily availa-
bic as SECURITY FOR LOANS, besides
being at all times a valuable asset.
There was a time when all life in
surance was simply game at which
a man mad to die to win, The New
York Life has developed it into a
great system of advantageous in
vestment in which the old idea of a
provision in case of death is but one
feature,
A policy taken in the New York
Life Insurance Co., for two five,
ten or twenty thousand dollars for,
say term of twenty years, costs
an annual sum to maintain it; but
every dollar that is paid goes to
swell the fund that will come back.
One will come in possession Of a
small fortune at the age Of Al from
a policy taxed at 81, concerning the
accumulation of which he has had
no anxieties. If, on the other hand,
he dies early or late after taking
out his policy, his heirs will receive
the full amount Of the insurance
When you realize how dear your
wife, children, mother or sister are,
and how much they would gladly do
for their comfort and safety, then
resolve to insure your life for Their
benefit that you may do your best
for them, living or dead and when
life seems prosy, and all men selfish,
let your resolution still hold. If YOU
are true, and noble, and unselfsh,
there will be one bright spot in the
world.

A PERTINENT QUERY.

One of our Texas exchanges asks
the following pertinent question,
concerning the sending of chill
dren out of the State to be educat-
Ell:
Why viii the people Of Texas keep
sending their children out Of the
State to be educated2 We have as
fac schools in Texas as there are in
any state, and the schools are offer
ing special inducements to the peo-
Ile for their patronage. Yes, there
are hundreds sent to Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Mississip-
ii every year. Why not patronize
home Institutes. Dallas, Oak Cliff,
Sherman, Austin and San Antonio
have fine institutions of learning.
Keep the boys and girls at home.
The very same statementof fact
applies with equal force to Arkan-
SIS, whose institutions of Tearing,
It various places in the State, are
IMPLY sufficient for the educational
leeds of its youth, of both sexes,
and in whatever branch Of learning
they choose to enter Right here
in Texarkana we have ample educa-
tional advantages in our local
schools, yet the people persist in
sending their children off, to enter
the schools of other States. Hence
we are once more impelled to ask
The question 'whyfore.
