l'Thirty days hath September"
Every person can remember;
But to know when Casters come,
Puzzles even scholars, some.
When March the twenty-frst is past,
Just watch the silvery moon,
And when you see it full and round,
Know Easter'1 be here soon.
After the moon has reached its full,
Then Easter will be here,
The very Sunday after,
In each and every year.
And If it hap on Sunday
The moon should reach its height,
The Sunday following this event
Will be the Easter bright.

SUPERINTENDENT SHOOK THE BOY.
A Novel Law Suit Before the Norway Mum
icipal Court.

; Norway, July 2o.-A unique suit, said
to be the first of it's kind in Maine, was
before the municipal court today. Ed
ward G. Slattery brought suit against
Kirk W. Spaulding. superintendent Of
the summer schools, for alleged assault
on pupil while visiting the school. The
complainaD5's story was that Superin-
tendent Spaulding, while examining
Fannie Sewelps school, became pro-
voked with inisohievous Francis Slat-
terry, aged years, and without COM
plant or request from the teacher, seized
the boy by the shoulder and shook him
about till his body was bruised against
the seats, and later advised the teacher
to get club and kill few of the boys
if she co0ld not control them in any
other manner.
The defense showed that the boy was
insubordinate, keeping the attention Of
the school from lessons, and that he took
him by the shoulder and put him in an
other seat where he could no longer dis
turb the other scholars. He was not pro-
yoked and used no unnecessary violence.
Judge Davis thought the superintendent
exceeded his authority and imposed a
nominal fine. An appeal was taken
to the Superior Court.

PoPULIsTs LIKE THE SCHEME.
National Committeeman Jones Proposes to
"Diyvy'' Offices With Them.

St. Louis. July 20.-The real work OF
advancing Mr.. Byan's interest has been
entrusted to Senator Jones Of Arkansas,
chairman Of the National Democratic
committee. He has heaqduarters at the
Planters hotel. The proposition Mr..
Jones advances is this: In return for the
Populist and Silver Republican support,
one member of each party will be placed
on the Democratic National executive
committee. In the states where tn o
Popuiists greatly outnumber the Demo-
Gratis, the Populists are to control the
nominations for Congress and the
principal state offices. In other states
where the strength Of the Democrats Is
more uniform, satisfactory arrange
ment will be made with respect to state
congressional ticket, the purpose inSeach
case being to secure the election of free
sii Vsr representatives to the House. The
scheme finds great favor with such OF the
Populists as Mr.. Jones has consulted.
Mr.. Jones's argument is that if Bryan
Is not nominated half of the Populists in
9he West, especially, will vote for the
Demooratie candidate ard that the effect
OF THIS will DO to disrupt the Populist
party.

VIII Take Supplies for Trip to Bay of
Fundy.

New York, July 20.-All has boen
bustle aboard George j. Gould's steam
yacht Atalanta during the last few days,
preparatory to an extended northern
cruise. The snug little craft will
probably push into the region of ioebergs
before it returns to it's mooring place at
Bay Ridge.
Unle SIS orders are received to the con-
traIy the millionaire owner and his
family will be taken on board tomorrow,
AMI the Atalauta viii start for the Bay
OF Fundy. A desire to visit the unique
and historic communities which border
this bay lsd Mr.. Gould to plan the trip.
He desires to establish new course for
venturesome New York yach tsmen.
The extent Of the cruise will be detsr-
mined by the nature of the difficulties
encountered. Aside from his interest in
the northern regions, Mr.. Gould rather
njoys the elemen6 of danger incurred.
The basin of Minas will be visited and
the southern shore of Nova Scotia. The
| cruise has been mapped out as far as
Halifax. Mr.. Gould has often expressed
desire TO land his yacht on the shores
of Labrador. If the weather is favorable
the staunoh craf6 may continue on to
Cape Sabine.
The women members of the party will
not accompany Mr.. Gould further than
Halifax. In the company there will be,
besides Mr.. Gould's wife and children,
Mrs. Kingdom, his wife's mother. and
one Of her sisters. 1t may be that they
will not leave the yacht until she reaches
St. John. Aftsr Halifax has been visited,
and if it is deemed safe, the Atelanta may
go to the Bras d'Or lakes. At Piotou
pilots will await the arrival OF the yacht
and on their opinion depends how much
further the cruise will he continued. The
ice pilots have already been engaged.
