Lure, doctor of the old sonool makes
the reader acquainted with a man who
is entirely unselfish. The noble obarae,
ter of the man who gives freely the hest
of his life for others, wins the resnact and
love of the reader, as he did of those
among whom no lived and labored
throughout the story, until his useful and
beautiful life here is finished. This sec
tion of the Bonnie Briar Bush has been
pronounced unanimously to be a master

The closing of the sardine factories at
PASSPORT and Lubec will prove severe
blow to these two towns. The sardine
business is about the only industry these
towns enjoy and the shut down means
the Eenforced idleness of good many
laboring people. The excessive demands
of the operatives in the establishments
appear to have had something to do with
the stopping of business, though not all
probably, as the market for sardines is

The battle ship Texas seems to have
suffered mishap similar to that which
befel the bia, though apparently
more serious, because there is a suspicion
that her trouble is caused chiefly by faulty
construction. Apparently she has not
been strong enough to sustain her own
weight when placed in the dry dock, and
the result is that her frame is badly
strained. The designer of the Texas was
an Englishman, William Johns, of the
Barrow Steamship Company, who de-
signed the City Of Rome and other ocean
liners. His plans, although Endorsed by
Commodore E. E. Chadwick and Lieut..
B. II. Buckingham, naval attaches of
the United States Legations at London
and Paris, respectively, were soon after
ward utterly disoredited by another Eng
lish expert, Mr. Bryce Douglass, who had
succeeded Mr.. Johns in the Barrow Com
pany This expert, who was paid, by
the way an additional $500 for engine
designs for the Texas, Informed Secretary
Whitney that under the Johns plans the
Texas would not be able to carry the
weight and required displacements, and
advised an addition of ten feet to her
hull, giving $40 more ton displacement
or total of $3.50. Secretary Whitney
stuck to the old plans, however, and all
along during the course of her construc-
ton there was trouble, and frequent
changes had to Il be made to repair the
blunders of her original design. Many
naval experts have contended all along
that she was fatally defective, and this
accident to her in the dry dock tends to
sustain this opinion. One moral would
seem to be- to buy no more plans of Eng
Iishmen
