Reason Enough.

The quality of a mans work depends
greatly upon the mood in which he does
it, and his mood, in turn, is influenced
more or less sensbly by his surroundings.
An anecdote borrowed from the New
York Sun shows how true this is, even in
so prosaic place as a thread factory.
A party of women once had the privi-
ege of inspecting factory devoted to
the manufacture of spool thread. Their
cicerone was the proprietor OF the fac
tory, one of the largest and most COM
plete in the world.
What most impressed the visitors,
however, was not the size and evident
prosperity Of the plant, but the beauty
OF the place. Not only was every hygienic
and commercial comfort attended to,
but so far as possible every aesthetic con-
sderation was observed as well. Around
each wall Of the spacious, well-windowed
apartments where the work was done
ran broad, exquisitely painted frieze.
The figures upon the frieze were dainty
dancing company, beautiful in color as
well as in form, and fit to grace the walls
OF dwelling rather than MILL
Finally one of the women, a practical,
plan-spoken dame asked the owner why
he made beauty such an object.
81 don't see the use of frieze like that
in factory" she said bluntly. "Why
do you have 1t p
The mill-owner smiled. "Well come to
think OF it, it is very practical reason"
he said. 81 find that it makes better
thread"

Neal Dow's o3d Birthday Anniver-

Saturday was the 93d anniversary of
the birth of Gen. Neal Dow. The great
reformer passed the day quietly at his
home in Portland, Me. He received a
great many letters and kilograms of con-
graduation, and numerous callers paid
their respects to him personally. Mayor
Randall called at II O. clock and extended
congratulations, both personally and in
behalf of the city.
Gen. Dow, who was the author OF the
Maine prohibitory law which was
passed in 1851, has given his life work
to the propagation of his belief in the
restriction of the liquor traffic through
the medium OF law. He entered the
army as colonel of the Thirteenth Maine
Regiment of Volunteers and served with
distinction in the war. He was captured
by the Confederates and was confined in
Libby Prison for nine months, being
exchanged for Fitzhugh Lee, now the
Consul General of the United States at
Havana. He was mayor of Portland in
1855, at the time of the famous riot. In
1880 he was the candidate of the prohi-
btion party for president of the United
States.
There was public meeting Saturday
night at City Hall in honor of Gen. Dow,
at which Mayor Randall presided.
Addresses were made by the mayor Rev.
A. H. Wright, Rev. w. S. Ayers, Rev.
C.. F. Parsons, Hon. Hiram Knowlton
of Portland, Joshua Bailey of Philadel-
phia and Rev. B. Dunn of New York.

Bulwarked by oceans. free from Euro
pean entanglements, placed apart by the
fiat of the Almighty whose will set our
bounds the millions of this country,
without known possible invader, are
beckoned forward into new century.
A nation whose population increases by
leaps and bounds is being subjected to
none of the concentration that comes
from attack and is realizing none of its
benefits. We have more of subjugated
territory behind us than Of slain people,
and the wars in our history are as moth
ing to the bulk of our population. What
of military glory have we to start the
blood of the modern boy tinglng within
him The Revolution is mere shadow
to our myriad new corners; the war of
1912 even more so, except for Perry; the
Mexican war one OF mere extension the
Rebellion, battle between brothers to
have been forgiven as soon as ended, if
Lincoln had lived. Even admitting that
the Titanic struggle was thrilling, what
meaning has it tor the 100000 emf
grants who have landed and multiplied
since then? Our heroes are mere names
to them, and the point at issue some
thing they have never seen. The boy OF
other lands can know that the blood OF
his kinsman has wet the earth to keep
inviolate from conquest the spot on
which he stands. Thrilled by their deeds
he can swear to dare what they have
dared and can sanctily himself to the
task left by them. But our boys father
may not so much as know the smatter-
ings of our language, and probably may
understand still less of our history. The
average American youth is therefore
entirely deprived OF personal touch with
warriors who have fought for "Home
and Native Land" What he learns of
warfare and our country's battles must
he from the unimpassioned pages Of
school histories.
