There are moments in the life of even
the modest conservative Maine drum
mer when he does not regret the ac-
QUESTION of complete vocabulary of
expletives. An instance of this kind
, occurred down East the other day.
The drummer was in the upper part of
the county and wanted to reach an
other town that night so telegraphed
the hotel keeper in the latter place
early in the day to send a team to the
station for him. When he reached the
station at night much to his surprise
and disappointment no team was there
so he started to walk to the village
which was quite a little distance off.
No sooner had he started than the sta
ton agent said to him, Are you going
to the village?'' Yes" Then | wish
you would take a dispatch up to the
hotel" 1t was the dispatch ordering
the team.
Just when is the ''ice cut of a body
of water, when none can be found in

Der "a, 1S97.-By direction of the President
the public is informed that in Difference to
the earnest desire Of the government to
contribute by effective action toward the
relief of the suffering people In the Island
of Cuba, arrangements have been perfected
by which charitable contributions, in money
or i'll kind, can be sent to the island by the
behevolently disposed people of the United
States.
Money, provisions, clothing, medicines
and the like articles of prime necessity
can be forwarded to General Fitzhugh Lee
the consul general of the United States at
Havana, and all articles now dutiable by
law. so consigned will be admitted into
Cuba free of duty. The consul general
has been instructed to receive the same
and to cooperate with the local authorities

and needy people of Cuba.
or the United States, who have on many
occasions in the past responded most gene

What Jefferson Would Do.

From the Post Dispatch.
Pictures of the sumptuous private
car in which Mr.. Mckinley will
travel to Washington r appearing
in the newspapers. Even the ground
plan of the interior is set out in de.
tail, with its bath rooms, wardrobes,
china closets, observation room and
the like.
1t may be that Thomas Jefferson
rode to the capitol on horseback on
the day of his Inauguration because
it was easier to get there in that
way than in any other at a time of
the year when country roads were
bad and stage coaches were apt to
mire to the hub even on Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
Be that as it may, there is no one
who will believe that Thomas JEFF
ferson, at any season of the year, or
under any circumstances whatever,
would have consented to ride to
Washington in any conveyance pro-
vided by great private interests to
be affected by legislation. or execu-
tive action of any kind, in which he
as president would have been called
upon to act.
Ii the roads had been too bad for
either riding or driving, Thomas
Jefferson, rather than demean him
self or his great Office, would have
walked across the fields.
