Milliken is for War.

HE WANTS TO ANNEX HAWAII AND RECOGNIZE
THE BELLIGERENCY OF CUBA.
Seth l.. Milliken, Representative in Con
gress from the Kennebec district, in Maine,
passed through town last night on his way
to Washington. He is a close personal and
political friend Of Thomas B. Reed, and in
regard to what the Fifty-fourth Congress
would do in way of legislation he said.
"The most important matter that the new
Congress will have to attend to is in rela-
ton to the Treasury's deficit. Whatever is
done by the way Of meeting the now exist
ing and continuing depletion Of the gold
reserve will be on the line Of an increase
in tie tariff duties, more particularly those
on wool and wooden manufactures, agricul-
tura products, lumber, pottery, etc.
The belligerency Of Cuba should be rec
ognized. Spain never conquered a country,
but she brought to it a worse civilization
than that which before existed. she con
quered people of superior intelligence in
Mexico, when she made slaves of the Az
tees, and in Peru, when she placed the In
cas- under the yoke. Spain recognized the
belligerency of the Cenfederancy: why
should we deny this boon to the struggling
Cubans?
81 would willingly vote to annex the Ha-
waiian Islands. They are tile strategic point
Of the Pacific, and they could be fortified as
impregnably as Gibraltar"
Mr.. Milliken would not talk about Mr..
Reeds Presidential chances. New York

Yachts and Yachtsmen.

1t is said that George J. Gould has de-
cided to alter the yacht Vigilant into
schooner next season and adapt her for
comfortable cruising purposes with a
crew of some fifteen hands instead of the
fifty or more necessary for racing her as a
sloop.
Three men are entitled to credit for the
phenomenally successful career Of the
schooner yacht Amorita during the first
seasons racing, says the New York
World. First her owner, w. Gould
Brokaw, who is recognized as plucky
amateur yachtsman second her designer,
A. Cary Smith, whose fame for turning
out fast and able vessels is world wide,
and third her skipper, Capt. W. S. Den
mis- Of GreenpOrt, as smart a helmsman as
ever sailed on salt water. Rain or shine
Mrs. ''Willie'' Brokaw was on deck on race
days, and prettier mascot never graced a
schooner's quarter deck. The Amorta
was built last winter at Harlan & Hol-
lingsworth's S. Wilmington, Del. Her prn-
cipal dimensions are: Length over all, 9S
feet; load water line, SO feet; beam, 20
feet, and draft, II feet She has four
staterooms. Her saloon, 12 feet long and
20 feet wide, is finished in white and gold,
with dark blue plush upholstery She
won her first race on July 4th, at the
Larchmont annual regatta, and since then
has won eleven other first prizes.

"reminiscences Of the Old school-House

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Oft
times memory carries me back to the old
school house, with its time e-worn look.
With the minds eye l can see the pupils
as they were seated in days 'sof yore'' in
the old house. Some of them we're dill
gentlyspursuing their studies, while 9TH
ers seemed fearful that overwork might
bring on ''softening Of the BRAIN | can
especially one OF them. | can well re-
member the seat where we sat side by
side, term after term, until our school
days were ended in the old house. She
and long ago journeyed to the fairest land.
1t was evident that some Of the teachers
who taught in the old house had mistaken
theil calling. while others were well fitted
for the business. A gentleman, who now
resides at the village in Stockton Springs,
in early manhood 'sswayed his scepter'' in
the old house He had faculty Of bring
ing out the good and Of putting down the
evil and inspiring the minds of his pupils
with a desire for knowledge. Old-time
teachers labored under disadvantages un-
known to teachers of the present day.
The school rooms were inconvenient, and
often there was a lack of school books
Some Of the parents seemed to think if
their children We're sent to school with an
English reader and one of Noah Webster S
spelling books they were we'll equipped
for the school room The teachers were
poorly paid for their services, and often
required to board around, and that was
anything but pastime in some families.
Some of the boys who attended the schools
in the cid house responded to their coun-
try $ call and laid down their lives on dis
tant battlefeds, while Others sought their
fortunes in the 'itar west" and were laid
to rest far from the scenes of their early
homes. Those who survive have reached
their three score yea RS and ten and reside
Of the girls who were pupils in the old
house have passed to the '.great beyond'
while the few who survive have homes not
far from their native town, with the ex-
ception of two sisters, who reside at their
early home nearby, where the old house
stood Soon the burdens Of life will be
laid down by the surviving teachers and
pupils who labored together in the old
house. J G. NJ,

A Waldo County Man in the West

INATCi RATES THE MARKETING OF MONTANA
MUTTON IN LONDON.
The wool growers of Meagher county
have always led the rest of the State. This
was virtually the first home of the t1ocks Of
the "golden hoof" in this State and her oper-
ators have kept in the lead Meagher coun-
ty sheep raisers have been the most progress
sive breeders and have led the way to nearly
every improvement. Now they essay new
venture. Ralph Berry, one of the leading
wool growers of the county, and. one who
has from small beginning amassed
competency in the past sixteen years OF his
wool growing experience, and who by the
way is as good Republican as ever grew
up to manhood in the Pine Tree State, will
make the venture OF marketing his mutton
in London. Mr. Berry sent five thousand
two and three-year-old wethers to Ire
vor, Wisconsin, two months ago and put
them on feed, using screenings from
the Minneapolis mills, costing $500 per
ton. He will ship four thousand of these
across the ocean and has engaged three ves-
sells for this purpose. He will load the first
thousand on the vessel at Baltimore Thanks
giving day, and the other shipments will fol-
low soon after. Mr.. Berry will take sacked
screenings from Minneapolis TO feed during
bis ocean voyage, and it will require five
men, to every TWO hundred head. to
feed and water the sheep while in transit
The cost of transportation from Trevor to
Liverpool will be about S1.25 per head
These sheep weighed 11S pounds each
when iur on feed, and it is expected will
weigh about 40 pounds in London. The
cost Of feeding has been 81 so per head al
ready, but it is believed the experiment will
pay aid open up more independent mar
ket for Montana mutton than Chicago. Mr.
Long, Chicago drover. has been shipping
Montana sheep to London for some years
but Nj. Berry is the first Montana grower
to lead the way to this far off market which
rules the commercial world. Rocky Noun

No Flies on That Farmer.

The Searsmont correspondent of the Union
Times tells the following incident of country
trade:
Says one of our merchants, "I had the
sharpest scheme offered me the other day
vet heard of. One Of our shrewd farmers
came into my store and says. I will give you
two casks Of potatoes and one cask of tur-
nips for pair of your best felts and rub
bers.' After making few scrawly figures
l told him l would if he would throw in
the casks. The trade was as l thought set
tied, when the fellow came up little nearer
pulled his hands out Of his pockets, scratch
ed his head and said,' 'well-er-put me up q
peck of good seed potatoes and package Of

pay now. Oh, these hard times sets 'em to

Owney, the Post-Omce Dog.

Owney's pedigree is not worth Dragging
about, he is mainly what is known as
mongrel, but he has signs of some purer
blood. Neither is he handsome dog, but
he has excellent qualities, and is kindly
and intelligent.
When Owney found himself an uncalled-
for package, he did not begin to whine or
bark or fear he was unwelcome, but
sought to make himself agreeable, and to
win friends. Finding that [ ncle Sam was
willing to keep him in comfortable quar-
ters, Owney gladly accepted the situation.
And now, no matter how far away be may
travel, he is known as "Owney, the
Albany Post Office Dog" and is every
where considered as popular member of
the department.
.'How do you know when Owney has
gone on trip?' | asked the man who
especially looks after Owney' interest.
'sWhy, when the cat comes in the office,
we know that Owney is away he repli-
ed. "And the dog is away from home so
much, that the cat is seldom obliged to
move OUT
'sTell me how he begins journey. Does
he know which is the postal carp
'sKnow? OF course he does. He knows
a postal car as we'll as any postal-clerk
When the mail is sent to the Station, Owney
jumps on the wagon, and stays there
until the last bag is thrown into the car.
If he feels like taking journey, he then
jumps aboard the car, barks good-by, and
away he goes. Once on the train he is
the guest Of the clerks at the offices along
the road.''
He wears fine silver collar, marked
''Owney, Albany 2. O., Albany, n. ~"
and with him is often forwarded a book
in which is kept record Of places he
visits; and very interesting story the
book tells. Helen E. Greig in December

Christian Science.

NOT NEW PHILOSOPHY. BOSTON PAPER
ON P. P. QUIMBY.
There is one admirable thing about all
the Christian Scientists, mental healers and
promulgators of what some of them call (and
sincerely believe to be) "new' philosophy.
1t is that truth ITSELF being perennialy
young every class of mind in every age Of
the world can have the pleasure Of personal,
original, individual contact with these ever
lasting principles. Very naturally many
persons think they have discovered UNI
known principles. Sometimes they erect
church buildings with their cwn names on
them and in other ways get in their own
light. But no man or woman of them all
says anything that may not be found ia the
oldest philosophers of the Orient and in the
teachings Of the founder of Christianity A
recent reviewer OF the PHILOSOPHY of p. p.
Quimby" makes this excellent comment in
thus connection:
bilities Of true wisdom is that DR.. Quimby
working by himself (and that he did work
by himself is patent to every philosopher
who reads his words) should arrive practi-
cally at the same results with the best edu :
Gated, the highest cultured minds of all
time. His love, his fearlessness, his trust
in the supreme goodness Of the great First
Cause, despite appearance and the calls Of
the body, were his infallible guides and aids.
And it is charming to think that il he could
do it with all his draw backs, there is no OBJ
jective reason why the most lowly cannot
do the same. 1t has been said that Emer-
sons books contain all truth; but some do
not understand Emerson. Likewise some
do not understand DR.. Quimby. But between
them both and their co-workers ample op-
portunity is afforded all who so desire to
learn how to live beautiful. useful and hap
! py lives, which undoubtedly is the true
meaning of human existence. 1t is life that
we seek, not ends merely, and though the
ends go to make up the life, the only safe
way is to have always the broad life in view
when the ends will shape themselves happi-
ly, as otherwise they will do unhappily in
spite of our efforts, or rather because Of
them. Boston Transcript Nov. 22d.
