Miss Mabel E. Smith, 63 Clark
ST., has begun to turn her educa-

graduates.
She won the $500 cash prize that
we offered to the Portland High
School girl who should detect the
greatest number of errors of gram
mar and spelling in our advertise
ment for week.
She did it by reading our adver-

sentence of them.
You can make $1,000 where she
made $500.
And by the same process, simply
by READING OUR ADVERTISE

below the market value that $1,000
can be saved in short time by buy

There is q strong rivalry between Mira

true poet laureate of Long Island. Mr..
Towns is a Brooklyn lawyer with pen

the poet laurcatoship Mr.. Cutter seems
moro entitled to success than his rival for
two very excellent reasons. In this case
comparisons seem especially invidious but
it is generally conceded that he writes
worse verse than Barristcr Towns, and he
mas already been recognized as poet lau-
rcate by such an eminent literary author
ity as Mark Twain.
Mr.. Cutter, in fact, is mono other than
the famous poet lariat' of Mark Twain :

abroad on the Quaker City, Mr.. Cutter
was one of the iunoCcnts and it is related

IThe setting sun at this thy close of day
On thce, o Leo, sheds its parting ray.
Within thy withcrcd veins, thy wasted frame,
Slow, slow burns downward life's expiring
flame.
Deaths arrow flies, the funeral veil unfolds,
lThe col remains, the grave her conquest holds,
Out swift the painting soul, her fettcrs riven,
prcuds her free wings and seeks her native
heaven.
The long and toilsomc road has reached its
end.
Thy hIly will, NY Saviour, | attend
And, is s., great a grace thou canst accord,
icccivo my spirit in thy kingdom, Lord
