MAINE PROHIBITION.

In a current events column of a re-
cent Issue of the Boston Sunday Globe,
which was devoted to the discussion of
the prohibitery law, Rev. III. r. Rose,
pastor of the Elm Street Universalist
church at Auburn, expressed himself as
follows: An unmitigated blessing. Not
a scandal thousand times no! The
prohibition law of Maine is enforced
not sweepiagly not as it ought to be, as
it can be, but still 1t Is enforced better
than ever believed possible. Here is
the beautiful city of Auburn, ahustling,
manufacturing and mill city of over
10000 people, without a saloon or a
vestige of one. You cannot buy liquor
at any hotel or drug store or any other
place except the state liquor agency,
which is In little wooden building,
and so inconspicuous that no one would
ever dream what it wa. Now I never
saw a city or town without a saloon
until / came to Maine. And I never
believed that prohibition could be en-
forced until I came to Auburn. I was
born and reared in Philadelphia, where
they have the best high license law ever
enacted, I was educated within a
stones throw of Boston; / held my first
pastorate in Portsmouth, N. H., and,
therefore I am able to contrast Maine
with states having high license and
no license and the contrast is In favor
Of Maine decidedly so. would not see

Maine statutes for any consideration

the beauty and blessing of the law, and
also because I have heard 1t said that
the Maine law was farce and scan

ashamed of the men who utter 1t. This

among which are these: I. The young

A Very Old Church.

One of the very few old churches still
standing and practically unchanged is st.
Luke's at Smithville, isle of Wight coun-
ty, Va. 1t was built in 1889, as attested
by the date on some of the bricks, under
the superintendent of Joseph Bridger,
whose descendants still live in the county
and worship in the church. The records
of the family, which are unbroken for a
period of $50 years, establish the date OF
the building of the church, and are full OF
interesting details Of early colonial history.
1t appears that st. Luke's was originally
so well built and of such excellent ma
terial that no repairs were made to 1t I'M
til 1887. los years after its completion. AT
that time it was ordered that Peter Wood

good cypress shingles, of good substance
and well nailed, for 700 pounds of tobacco,
800 pounds being now levied. " 1t was

ne road almost to the wheels of the
wagon.
Grodno's shot had killed the one
norse, and his mate in frantic alarm
broke from his fastenings and darted
like streak over the plain, leaving the
wagon and its two occupants to their
fate.
The cowardly driver, frightened out
of his wits by the shooting and by the
sight of the gray convict CARDS, left the
wagon at leap and ran in zigzag
course toward the distant village, utter.
ing howl of fright at every step. The
officer was a man of quite different cali
ber Without the least appearance of
fright he leaned forward, and opening
black box in the bottom of the wag-
on drew out q pair of revolvers. The
sight of the two convicts struggling ia
the roadway must have puzzled him
considerably, for he looked on without
attempting to make any use Of his
weapons.
Phil was no match for Grodno. The
burly convict twisted him over and
over, and finally dashed his head against
projecting stone with stunning force.
Pills grasp loosened, and Grodno was
free. Seeing that the game was up, he
made sudden dash for the woods, but
the officer, concluding that the time had
come for him to act, raised one of his
revolvers and fired.
A sharp cry of pain followed the re-
port, and Grodno, lunging heavily for
ward, vanished in the underground.
Meanwhile, under cover of the BUSH
es, Maurice and Hamid were struggling
desperately. The enraged Turk fought
like a demon, trying in vain to make
use of the revolver which he still clutch
ed in his hand, but Maurice held him
in firm embrace, and they rolled over
and over through the grass, neither
gaining the ascendency. AT length Maui
rice got his antagonist just where he
wanted him-underneath- clutch
ing his throat with one hand was about
to wrest the revolver from him with
the other when the bushes parted al
most beside him, and he glanced up to
see Grodno's evil countenance glaring
at him. The convict's left arm hung
motionless at his side, stained with
blood. Maurice released his hold on
the Turk instantly and darted into the
woods, intending to circle round and see
what had become of Phil and the Off
Ger. He made short detOur which
brought him to the edge of the road,
some 20 or 30 yards above the wagon.
Peeping cautiously from the fringe OF
bushes, he saw Phil lying motionless In
the path, and the officer apparently
bending over him. Then came star
Ting interruption. Grodno and Hamid
burst from the forest with loud shouts,
the former swinging the rifle around
his head with one arm, and flung them
selves on the officer, who staggered tc
his feet just in time to meet the attack.
Shouts of anger were heard, but the
combatants were so enveloped i'll cloud

then dropped heavily in the roadway.
Maurice had barely time to see Grod-

ground. and then round slight curve
in the road came at full tilt squad OF
Cossacks, brandishing their naked

he calmly folded his arms as a sign OF

Phil, his face pale and corpselike.
