THE WAITS THANKSGIVING.


And through the glare of the Autumn air,
Thanksgiving hymns were singing:
Golden chimes that brought the rhymes
The sacred songs of good old times
Back to the worldling's wakensd ear,
And drew some quaint old church more neal,
That maybe had crumbled many a year.
And coaclmen laced and stolid.faced
Drove up to the church's portal;
And men once more passed through the door
To thank the King Immortal,
And hear the music that decked the day,
And look at the altar's new display,
For such is ever the human way;
Now out in the street, with halfclad feet,
And garments shabbily clinging,
child there stood in dreamy mood,
And harked to the church BELLS ringing,
With thin hand pressed against her breast,
AS if the harmony gave her rest;
AS if each note, as it softly stole
Out of its swinging brazen bowl,
Was morsel of food to hungry soul
But when like a band from unseen land
That with the world rejoices,
The organ hurled to the outside world
A hundred silver voices,
Into the eyes of the child there came
A torch as lit by sudden flame;
And through her memory seemed to flow
Something she still must come to know,
And yet had forgotten long ago.
And none the less for her ragged dress
She sped to the door, unfearing;
And through she went, her sou. intent
On the strains of music hearing
Her great sad eyes bedecked with dew,
She passed along with others through,
And seated herself in velvet pew!
The sexton gazed with an eye amazed,
Upon this odd intrason;
And his laundried sheen and placid mein
Were canopied with confusion.
Out of the door he quickly led
The little maid; and brusquely said,
"There are churches enough for you instead. ,
But still the sound of the organ drowned
The noise of her hearts complaining:
Now with echoes choice of the human voice,
And queen-soprano reigning
She crept to the hall-nor fingered there;
But climbed to the galery's utmost stair,
And with her changing eye on fire
With old ambition and new desire,
She gazed at the organ and the choir.
The chief of the song, with batong long,
Was numbering each bright measure,
But looking around the child he found,
And scowled his dark dspleasure;
His eyes and his lip and his hatom dropped;
And we'll that the music had not stopped!
He had never known guest like that
There came from his mouth Kissing
"Scat!"--
She skurried away like frightened rat.
And out in the street once more her feet
On the flinty curb were falling,
And still from within the delicious din
Of music's voice was calling,
And still for place to hear in search,
She walked the length of the palace church,
And finding an open vestry door,
Crept into the stately house once more,
And started this region to explore.
A passage in haste the child yet traced,
And then to her CONSERVATION
On the platform high stood in the eye
Of the wondering congregation!
The ragged girl in the stylish place
Made smiles go leaping from face to face.
The pastor turned and saw her near!
A man that the people loved hear,
At fifteen thousand dollars year;

PRESIDENT CHASE'S VERSION.
ESPECIAL ro THE FRESH

Lewiston, November S-President Chase
of Bates college does not say that the
hazing affair rs reported in the Sunday
Times did not occur, but he thinks some
of the details have been exaggerated. IT
is true that Willis, the sophomore was
captured by dozen freshmen Friday
night as he was escorting young lady to
her home. The freshmen saw the vounp
lady safely on a horse car and paid her
fare. They then took Willis to West Pitch
and tied him to tree, and with a
mixture of indelible inks branded "1eo1n
upon his forehead. 1t is denied that he
was severely beaten or that threats were
made to throw him into the whirlpool at
West Pitch. President Chase says that in
the past Bates has always prided itself
upon the fact that little or no hszine w. G

End dying. The horrors of war are no
greater than the horrors of disease. If all
the nations of the earth were at war against
each other there would be no such carnage
wrought within the year as that which is
accomplished annually by one dread disease

And yet this most fatal of all diseases is
not without its remedy. 1t is no longer the
irresistible destroyer that it was considered
thirty years ago. An entirely new aspect is
