A poLyaLoT COUNTRY.
Two Towns Where From Seven to Ten Id
IONS Are Spoken.

Hungary is the basin of the Danube and
its tributaries, bounded in a semicircle by
the Carpathian mountains. No other
country of equal extent possesses the same
physical unity, With very few executions
all rivers of Hungary flow, directly or in
directly, into the Danube, and in prebis-
toric times Hungary was, indeed, an i'm
mense lake, which, by crumbling masses
from the Carpathians, has in the course of
untold centuries been leveled up to a vast
plain This physical self contentedness of
the country designated it, as it were, for
proud and self contented nation. Legion
was the number Of tribes and people pour
ing into Hungary through the passes of
the north or the plains of the south from
the time of Alexander of Macedon to that
of Alfred of England. Gepides and Goths,
Herules and Alans, Huns and Moravians,
Servians and Ruthenians and very many
more land seeking tribes essayed to court
the love of Hungaria.
The Magyars alone, a Finnish Ugrian
tribe, probably from central Asia, enter
ing Hungary by the pass of Vereczke, in
the northeast Carpathians, 1000 years
ago, have been able to wed themselves in
good and lasting marriage to the country
Astounding in the treasures OF fertile soil,
a varied surface and a benign climate.
They alone founded a true nationality and
a genuine state. The peoples inhabiting
Hungary before the arrival of the Magyars
were not SO much conquered as relegated
by them. They were and always remain
ed what the stately law term of the Hun
garian tripartitum (code of law called
them-regnicoloe, jewellers, not citizens

Hungary has always been a unit, not q
union. Not every aggregate of people
speaking the same language is a nation.

photographic point of view, Hungary Of

endless varieties Of speech, costume, GUS
toms and folklore.
There are towns In Hungary, and small
towns, too, where from seven to ten idioms
are constantly being used. On the Galican
frontier there is in lovely valley the old
town of Eperjes. The number of its in
habitants does not exceed IL, 600 To this
day the good people of Eperjes are in the
habit of talking or being talked to in six
different languages and several dialects.
An ordinary household will include a.
Slovak manservant, a Hungarian coach
man, German cook and a Polish cham
bermaid. What Is still more remarkable,
each layer of society will tenaciously cling
to it's own language for centuriua A mile

A Horrid paaf Man.

The young man had seen the giddy
young couple enter the ice cream parlors
and soon followed. He took his seat, with
his back toward the young folks, and tap
ped the bell for the waiter. When the wait.
er responded, he made motions with his
hands and uttered cultural sounds which
the waiter judged meant an order for ice
cream.
''Isn't it shame he's deaf and dumb, y

''Oh, don't mind him. answered the
swain with some feeling. 81 can't bear to
have you notice any one else. Dear, love
you, oh, SO much. I never can tell you
how much do love you. I'd go through

man, fbring me in another saucer Of ice

DARKNESS SEEMED FAMILIAR.

That Her Lamp Was Out.

That Her Lamp Was Out.
They were on tandem, and straight,
smooth road stretched away before them
through the park for mile or moro.
There was darkness all about, thick, inn
penetrable darkness, which lay heavy
among the trees and betrayed the fact that
the authorities had neglected the electric
lights, counting on moon that had failed
to keep her engagements.
But they did not mind the darkness. In
fact, they rather sought out the more shad-
owy portions For there is something
about tandem, IL it steers easily, which
softens the iron bound laws of custom.
The riders are SO close together anyway.
And If the one on the rear seat leans
slightly forward and the one on the front
leans just little back there is no need to
sigh for the best of hammocks.
The young man on the rear seat had
leaned slightly forward Moreover, the
young woman ON the front seat had leaned
just little back. And there was more on
the young woman's lips than microbes.
Suddenly they were arrested by shout

rest any one in any other way-a deep,
full bodied shout that BODIED i'll.
Eli! You! Where's your lamp?''
They stopped and dismounted. With a

nothing else to do.

WEsTBRook REPUBLICANS.
Nominate Candidates to Legislature and
Listen to Speech Making,

The Republicans of WestbIook as
sembled in general caucus at Odd
Fellows hall last evening to nominate a
candidate for representative to the legis-
lature and to choose delegates to attend
the district convention to be held at
Portland August s. Roger A. Foss called
the meeting to order and read the call.
Mr.. W. K. Dana was chosen chairman.
and George NJ. Woodman, clerk. Mr. A.
G. Chute spoke of the able manner in
which Mr.. 7. S. Burns, had represented
Westbrook in the legislature the past
torn and moved that he be given a re-
nomination. He was renominated by
reclamation. The following delegates
were chosen to attend the district conyen-
ton; Ward 1. A. A. Cordwell, Fred
Verrill; Ward 2, Lemuel S. Lane. A. G.
Chute; Ward B. W. K. Dana, Harry B.
Aver; Ward 4. E. J. Haskell, Ambrose
Gozey; Ward 5, N. j.. Woodbury., John
e. Warren.
After the business of the convention
was concluded the chairman Of the caucus
Mr.. W. K. Dana was called ON for a
speech. With his usual enthusiasm and
sound common sense, he entertained tie
assembly. He said that the present is a
critical time in the affairs of this nation
and there was a demand for every
patriotic citizen to do his utmost for Nc
Kinley and sound money
He spoke of the patriotic work being
dnu0 hxy Can nnv. CiaIyI n
A. r. men. He said they had fought to
preserve the Union in '61. and they were
now striving to prevent its being dis
hon ored IN '9s. He thought that West
brook was field whers proper campaign
work would bear grand results. The
speaker believes there are one hundred
and fifty prominent Democrats in this
city who will not support Bryan and
Sewall.
The workingmen of Westbrook, he said,
had bought their experience dear, and he
belived they will not want to experiment
any longer with Democracy, but are
anxiously waiting for Repuhlicanism and
prosperity.

American wages as American manu-
facturers would he forced to seek a for
eign market for their goods and to com-
pete successfully with other nations, their
help would necess arily be forced to the
wage level existing in competing with
foreign countries.
He said that the Dana warp mills had
survived three years of the German VIII
sol tariff, but il the Wilson bill as
originally drawn had been enacted, he
consoientiously believed that it would
have meant the Tuination of his business
and that he would have been financial

from the lips Of one or the prominent
manufacturers of this city, who is
