PIONEER MOTHERS OF MAINE.
Mrs. Beedy's Address Last Evening-She
Read Chapters of Her Forthcoming
Book-Our Foremothers, In General and
Particular, Very vividIy Described.

AT the Second Advent church las
evening, Mrs. Helen B. G. Beedy 0
Pennington, delighted goodly audience
with an address entitled the women O
Maine. Mrs. Beedy has been a successful
teacher in Maine for macy years ant
is prominent in women's organizations
She is a member of the Federation Of
Women's Clubs and is county president o.
the W. CT. U.
She takes special interest in the
character and personality of the early
mothers of Maine and is writing book
about the pioneer mothers and mother.
hood of our Pine Tree State. 1t was sew.
eral chapters of this book that she read
to her audience last evening. She was
introduced very gracefully by Mrs. Eta
G. Osgood, who referred to the fore.
mothers as we'll as the Forefathers' day
that observed in Massachusetts, and
should be observed in Maine. Mrs.
Beedy had something to say at first Of
the original mothers OF Maine, the In
dian squaws, and spoke at some length
of their character and their importance
in Indian life and labors
She mentioned briefly Madame de la
Tour and other famous French women
who took part in Names early history.
But the greater part of her address was
devoted to our own grandmorhers and
great grandmothers. She deplored the
lack of interest that SO mary people
exhibit in even their own ancestors,
to say nothing of the general life and
personality of thoseSmothers who estab
lished the beginning of Maine and the
foundation of her prosperity, quite as
much as did the early fathers.
There are people in Maine today
said Mrs. Beedy, "who do not even know
the names of their grandmothers.n
She mentioned several individuals who
were pioneer women in different parts
of Maine. She told several interesting
stories about them in regard to theil
fights with the Indians and wild an.
inals, to-say nothing Of the poverty and
dangers-of the wilderness that these WON
en- took prominent part in. We have
briefly mentioned the nature of Mrs.
Beedy's address, and trust we have
shown somewhat how valuable and in.
teresting will be her forthcoming book,
inspired, as it is, by her enth usi asm
for the heroism of the pioneer women oil
Maine.
A pleasant feature of the evening
was the presence of four young ladies
dressed in the quaint costume of on,
foremothers. One of these young ladiei
took the tickets and the others actd az
ushers.

Levi CcnneIl's term had expired and one

elected three new men, so that the commit

elected were DR.. Lord, John Clarke, the
town s representative TO the legislature last
winter. and another man, whose name we
haven't learned.
The two members of the old board, DR.,
Rounds and John Meserye, refused to
recognize the now men, and appointed

locked they were to be broken in and the
school house was cleaned twice.

Financial Education.

TO the Editor of the PRESS:
l am glad to see that plan of campaign
has been decided upon by the ''Sound
Money" men to stem the strong bimetalic
sentiment that is sweeping over the
country.
1t is to be an educational one. Ex-senator
Edmunds suggests that every district school
to be turned into an academy of monetary
science. This is we'll. 1 would like to sug-
gest some topics for early exposition in this
educational campaign, such as:
First-What is an 'shonest dollar?''
Second What is sound currency?''

section of Australia the owner of country
station was sitting one evening on the
porch when he saw kangaroo lingering
about, alternately approaching and retir

fear what to do. At length she approach
ed tho water pals, and taking a young
one from her pouch held it to the water to
drink While her baby was satisfying its
thirst the mother was quivering all over
with apprehension, for she was but few
feet from the porch where one of her foes
was watching her The baby having fin
ished drinking, it was replaced in the
pouch, and the old kangaroo set off at a
rapid pace. The spectator was so much
impressed by the astonishing bravery of
the affectionate mother that he made i
vow, and Kept it, to never again shoot a
kangaroo.
