The Maine fish and game commission
ers are contemplating introducing into
that state the Monaghan pheasant, which
mas Deen lnJrodu ced in western states with
much success, and is now being propa-
gated IN Massachusetts. In the Pacific
states, where il has been introduced II
has proved an especially fine game bird,
ana has also done much good IN destroy
ing pernicious insects and worms. 1t is
much the superior of the English pleas
ant from the hunters point of view, be-

Maine commissioners believe that the bird
would thrive even through the severe win
ters Of the Pine Tree state. and it is very
probable the experiment of introducing It

thought of the sermon he had read, to
the great interest and apparent salts

The Monroe doctrine, says the New
York Tribune, has a staunch advocate in
n. Moran, Assistant Secretary of State of
Salvador. Mr. Moran is in the city on a
wedding tour, and will sail for Europe
fairs among the small republics, he said
that the confederation of Nicaragua, Hon
duras and Salvador had proved TO be sat
isfactOry, but added that he did not be-
lieve Guatemala and Costa Rica would
come into the confederation, at leSat, not
soon, owing to their feeling of strength
and security. He said, in speaking Of the
Monroe doctrine: Il believe heartily in
America for Americans, and l think Cuba
ought to be free. The fight that the pa
triots are making in the Pearl of the An
titles is receiving much sympathy in our
country. Salvador is a small country, but
an exceptionally rich one. All revolutions
have stopped, and we have entered upon
a period of peace and prosperity" Mr..
Moran said that the people of Salvador
would like to see the Nicaraguan canal
built. He believed that it would do great

Politicians, says the New York Tri-
bune, generally look upon Secretary Car
Isle as the mouthpiece of the administra-
ton on the present financial issue, and
many think that the mantle of Grover
Cleveland will fall upon him. A prominent
republican politician said on Wednesday
letter concerning his candidacy for the
presidential nomination had the shadow
of fear that Mr., CleyeIand might again be
a candidate, and added that 1t reminded
him of a story. Once there was a noted
case in the west in which a large hotel
was concerned. The manager of the hotel
was an old man-so old, in fact, that he
could hardly look after the affairs of the
house. Much of the work fell upon the
shoulders of his assistant, who was a
bright young fellow, and well liked. When
this case came up in court the young man
was called as a witness. His youthful
looks made him appear to the judge to be
a mere employe, but his knowledge of the
hotel business was such that the judge
was led to inquire: what is your position
in the hotel? Are you the manager" The
clerk flushed, and said slowly: mo, not
yet" The politician added. There seems
to be no doubt that Carlislisle feels like
the young clerk, who thought 1t was time
Tor the manager TO step down ana give
some one else a chance"

Clary was returned to the legislative as
sembly in 1919 for the Loir-et-Cher He

ran out of beaten tracks He worked
hard to get the sentence against Lesurques
effaced That unfortunate was wrongly
guillotined on the charge Of having muir
dered the driver of a mail cart at LYONS
to rob him. The vicomte took UP warmly
the case of Resale Dosne, woman who
confessed herself a murderess though

solitary confinement, and to be done with
the heckling of a judge CONSTRUCTION, who
kept her in secret He also made himself
