He Scored Journalism.

A successful physician, who began
life as reporter. spoke very scornfully
OF the newspaper man who had not
sense enough to discover that the talents
needed to earn him bare living in
journalism" would bring him substan-
tial rewards i'll any other business or
profession. Isuppose it must have been
some such idea that was at the root of
Horace Greeley's fixed objection to pay
ing any man a salary Of more than $25
a week, it being his opinion that if an
employee Of newspaper could earn
more than that he ought to strike out
for himself. Considering the number of
second and third rate newspaper men
who have made first class regulations
in politics, have adorned presidential
cabinets, and made their mark general
~ in the public life of the country,
there does seem to be something wrong
with the old hands at the bellows who
can find nothing better to do.-Forum.

HIS Animal Food.

Pat Shinnegan works on the Allen
place. and his mind is no poetic mind,
and whatever comes into it receives a
literal construction that sometimes
makes 1t unacceptable when it comes
out again. In fact, Pats mind is a very
sausage machine of mind.
Now, it happens that Pat was feeling
i'll for some days, and SO, as his employ
or is an IL. D.. full fiedged, albeit some
what young in years, Pat applied to
him for remedy. The doctor asked the
symptoms. felt his pulse, examined his
tongue, and did whatever else profes.
sional etiquette demanded. Then he
said:
Patrick, you're run down a bit,
that's all. What you need is animal
food"
And Pat departed quite contented.
About two days afterward the doctor
happened to think of his case, and call
ed on Pat in the stable.
well, Pat said he, chow are we
getting ON with the treatment?'
"Oh, shure, SIR" said Pat, "Oi man
age all right with the grain and oats,
but it's har-rd with the chopped hay"

When he had gathered her to his

Even after the outer door had shut
behind him and lie had passed from her
sight she remained beside the window,
stunned and lonely, her fingers absently
piucking at the folds of her gown.
She gazed into the velvet air of the
morning, hoping, expecting nothing,
with these words repeating themselves
in her mind:
II took your faith from you, but I
give it back
The faint whistle of a train came
from the distance, and she started as if
a knife had pierced her.
Far away n thin column of retreating
smoke rose into the clouds.

Painless Execution.

In Germany the view obtains that the
execution Of criminals should be by
some means more certain even than the
electric chair. DR.. E. Cuhmann, cele.
brated chemist. suggests the use of car
bolic acid. According to his plan, the
criminal would be carried to cell,
which can be filed noiselessly with car
bolic acid in gaseous form from fcor to
ceiling. When the gas reaches the de-
inquent's mouth and nose it causes in.
slant paralysis Of the lungs and uncon.
seriousness. and life departs without pre-
vious pain.

will meet at Winterport June 4th if stormy
the next fair day. Comrades, this is the
third attempt to meet with the boys of Win

Waldo county present Comrade Billings
of Freedom will be present and tell us more
about the Home at Windermere Park. 1t
has been some time since we last met, and
our ranks are growing thin. There will be
but a few more meetings for some of us.
Since our last meeting a good Comrade,
Erskine of Belfast, has passed in his dis
charge and answered his last rol-call. Let
us meet a few more times, touch the elbow
in days gone by when we as boys left
home and friends to protect the best govern
ment the sun ever shone upon-a govern
ment that owes its very existence to the
boys who sleep on the battlefields of the
sunny South, in the ocean, and in every
cemetery in our loyal land. Comrades, let
us be true to their memory, by meeting to-
gether, by talking over their heroic deeds,
and perpetuating their memories that they
may never die. [Secretary.

Winterrort Stands by Her Contract.

The meeting of the citizens of Winterport
held last Saturday to see if the town would
ratliy the contract already made with the
Winterport Water Company was one of the
largest ever held, All voting. The point had
been raised that as the contract was not
signed by the selectmen lit was signed by
committee appointed at the previous meet
ing it was not legal. The result was COM
plete victory for the friends of the works,
for by a vote of 239 to 175 the article was dis
missed, thus confirming the meeting of April
22nd and ratifying the contract then made
with the Winterpoit Water Company. 1t
was also a personal 1ictory for Col. Fred
Atwood, who has been at the head of the
movement for water supply as protection
against fire and for domestic use.
W. N. Hayden of Bath, who is putting in
the works, is doing fine job. The founda-
ton for the standpipe is nearly completed
and about 80 men are at work on the reser-
vor. Engineer Brown is completing HIS
surveys. Local help will be employed as
far az possible, while the capital comes from
outside. 1t would seem that WinterpOrt is
getting a water supply on most advantage
Gus terms and is consequently to be con-
graduated. When the water is turned on
we venture to predict that no one will wish
it turned off, or regret that the town has
stood by its contract.

supper the Grange was again called to order.
Seaside has some fine talent as was shown in
the discussion of the topic. They have one
of the best Grange halls, if not the best, in
Waldo county, and ought to feel proud of it,
as no doubt they do. Midnight found us on
the road to North Searsport and we reached
