OF those comrades were present the task fell
unexpectedly on comrade Moody.
The school children rendered their songs
and declamations in a highly pleasing man
ner; doing honor to themselves and to their
teachers.
Walter N. Cargll, of the University of
Maine, son of G. 81. Cargill of this village,
gave a recitation that took the house by
storm. 1t was finely executed, showing his
ability and fine training at the University.
Among the very best features of the enter
tainment was the fine singing by Prof. Geo.
Goodwin of Pittsfield, who was imported
for the occasion.
Superintendent Howes made some timely
talk to the school children as to the cause of
the war and the part the old vets took. He
requested the old soldiers to stand up and
the children to stand also, telling them to
look upon these men as remnant of the
mightiest army since Caesar. Such an army
had not been seen for thousand years, and
would not be seen again in thousand years
to come. Some of the vetera had tramp
ed over a territory that extended 800 miles
from East to West, fighting battles. endur-
ing hunger, fatigue, sleeplessness, wounds
and diseases, in hospitals and in prison
pens. Most Of them did not sleep in
bed for four long years. He advised
the children to look with honor and
respect upon the old and crippled soldiers,
who suffered so much in order that they
might have free and reunited Republic.
His remarks were well received by old and
young.
Remarks were also made by Comrades
Morse and Abbott and by Miss Blanche
Moody, daughter of W. H. Moody, Esq.
Our thanks are due to Superintendent
Howes, and to teachers, Blanche Moody and
May Brown, for the fine program furnished
by the schools.
AS there were but few present from out of
town no arrangements were made for any
future meeting. AS there was no one to ex-
tend an invitation it was decided to leave
the matter with the officers of the associa-
ton. 10 j.

FISH AND GAME. The list of officers
chosen by the Maine Sportsmen's Fish
and Game Association is evidence that the
splendid work of the association is to 90
right on. Hon. P. o. Vickery, the presi-
dent, has been most indefatigable and
judicious friend and patron of the organ
ization and it is perfectly safe to say his
energy in behalf of the association is vet
far from expended. This association has
enlisted the efforts of the leading men of
the State and has accomplished much in
the way of educating the public to the
great value of our fish and game in
terests and the interest manifested in
the recent meeting at Bangor is very
gratifying. Jonathan Darling, ia
miliarly known all over Maine and
to many outside the State as "Jock"
Darling, died at his home in Lowell Jan.
5th. His age was about Is years, and the
cause of his death was cancer of the
stomach, it is thought although he had
long suffered from a complication of all
ments. He leavs a wife and several chill
dren and brother, A. j. Darling of
Enfield. The deceased was probably
the most famous of all Maine hunters.
His life was passed in the woods, as a
lumberman, hunter, trapper, guide and
proprietor OF sportsmen's camps For
some years he was a game warden . Re-
ports from the herring fishery in Pla-
centia bay show that over 80 sail of
American vessels have left for Gloucester
and 26 are now loading. Immense shoals
of herring still continue there and the
fishery promises to be the largest on rec
ord. 49,. Assistant Secretary Howell has
decided that herring taken off the coast
of Newfoundland and brought into the
ports of the United States in American
vessels should be admitted free of duty.
WASHINGTON WHlsPERINGs. The COM
mittee on post offices and post roads re-
ported the Loud bill, remedying abuses
in the privilege of second class mail mat
ter, to the House Jan. 5th. Chairman
Loud, in making the report, said Con-
gress must stop the second class matter
abuses or the government should go out
of the postal business. The last pay
ment to the government by the Union Pa
citic reorganization committee for the
Union Pacific railroad was made at New
York, Jan. 5th, check for IS. 500, 600
(round tigures) being deposited with AS
sistant United States Treasurer Jordan at
the sub-treasury... A Republican clerk
in the treasury department has been re-
duced from 81, 400 to 81, 900 year, for
making charges against a fellow clerk, a
Democrat, which were not sustained ...
The military committee of the House has
returned from the recent trip to the
Vieksburg battlefield, favorably Impress
ed with the value of the locality for Ma
tional Military park, and it is practically
agreed that a favorable report will be
made on bill to this end..A A proclama-
ton has been issued by the Secretary of
State under the direction of the President,
appointing a Central Cuban relief COM
mittee, with headquarters in New York,
to receive contributions for the people of
Cuba.

The Government Distribution OF Seeds.

T he seeds which are annually sent out by
the Agricultural Department at Washington
are now ready for distribution. Parties who
desire to secure a package of them should
write their Member of Congress to that
effect before Feb 1st. In writing for seeds
the fact should be borne in mind that Mem
bers of Congress have no selection of varie-
ties. This is made by the Agricultural De-
partment, and the varieties assigned to diff
ferent sections of the country-with special
reference to their soil and climate-are pus
in sealed packages and credited proportion
ally among the Members of Congress. Up
on the receipt of slips duly franked from
the Members of Congress the packages of
seeds credited to them are sent out by th
Department of Agriculture until their quotas
are exhausted. In order, therefore, to Sc
cure share in the distribution, application
should be made at an early date.

BEST GOVERNED CITY.
Glasgow Has Uncaualed Success In
the Management OF Municipal
Ancirn.

The leading and most commendable
feature Of the management Of public
affairs is the prime ir.a Of the sinking
fund. which IS urp.itG to every enter
prise or business in which the munich
E1!:y is i::l"r: s;r;!. says the American
Magazine OF Gives. Whatever debts il
has are on the sure and safe road to
liquidation by the automatic operation
Of the sinking fund device. BY this
means the city of Glasgow will, inside
OF so years, furnish free water to it's
citizens; give them the best electric
lights free; electric or water power at
cost; allow them to ride on it's electric
read at the nominal fare OF two cents
for any distance and furnish to all free
use of magnificent public library.
The city affairs are managed by bust
ness men with the same prudence with
which they wculd manage their own
affairs; the question of party politics
enter into no local election and it seems
20 be the object of the municipality to
administer the city's finances in an
economical way, to improve the public
health in its physical and moral basis,
&nd to give brightness and the possi-
bl!ity of happiness 10 civil life. It's sue
cess i'll al these has been so marked as
10 command the admiration of the civ
iiized world and TO gain for itself the
appellation of the best governed city
on the face Of the globe.

THE OLD SOLDIER MUSES..
He Hears for the First Time That
They Set = Plate for Him All tho
Time He Was Gone.

II heard only the other day." said the
old soldier, that at every meal time, all
the time I was away in the army in the
civil war, plate and knife and fork
were set for me at the table at home.
Many time, if had only known II,
while was falling into line at the
cooks fire at the end of the company
street. with my tin plate and tin cup in
my hand to get the pork and hard
bread and coffee, or whatever we might
have to eat, better or worse, they were
setting plate for me on the table at
home. They entertained me there In
spirit, if they could not in flesh, and how
glad they would have been to see me sit
down at the table.
wherever we were, in camp OF on the
march, and whether we had much or
little, my plate was always laid for me
at home just the same. I wonder If 1t
would have helped me if had known it.:
if I could have eaten in spirit. as tbev
entertained me-? And I can hear them
now. after all these years, when they
had something that particularly liked,
saying:
"'How David would like this, if he
were here ......
Dear, dearl How glad am got
back"

I'm the Wrong Army.

A countryman who expressed desire
to enlist in Kansas City was directed bv
a joker to Salvation Army tent. The
Salvationists were singing a song when
the farmer crowded up to their little
circle. He waited patiently. Then one
of the men made an address appealing
for volunteers. The young farmer
pushed into the circle, and, taking of
his hat, stuck out his hand to the uni
formed man who was talking. "Iw wan,
to enlist" said the farmer. Bang went
the big bass drum, and "Halleluiabi"
shouted a sweet-faced little woman.
"ADother sinner savedl let us pray!'
exclaimed the soldier who held the
farmers hand, as he knelt down on the
asphalt pavement reverentIy. The
farmer was thoroughly scared Ivy this
turn OF affairS. Instead Of kpeeling be
looked about him. The prayer had al
ready started when he got his bearings.
Selling his vaise, which he had dropped
on the street when he took the profHered
hand Of the soldier, he broke through
the crowd, and amid the gufraws Of
crowd Of newsboys he started north on
Main street.

The Maine rlusical Festival.

Prof. w. r. Chapman held a rehearsal
for the Maine Musical Festival in Portland
recently and made speech in which he
explained his plans for the October festival
and pointed out hard place all we're
in, to live up to and exceed the remarkable
reputation that was made last year. He
said that it was no secret that many came
here last year to ridicule and deride the
terrible fizzle they expected to witness.
Those who came to scott remained to praise
and went away completely enthused with
the wonderful chorus work they heard.
He said that the Maine Musical Festival
had made world wide reputation and
that it must be sustained. There were
more than twice as many voices as in the
Cincinnati May Festival or in the Worcester
festivals and as it was the largest chorus
in the country of course more was expected
of it. Mr.. Chapman said he had no doubt
of success if all members of the chorus
would do hard and faithful study and
would each resolve that the success of the
festival depended alone on him or her as
the case might be. Passing to the June
concert tour with the Maine Symphony
Orchestra Mr.. Chapman unfolded his
plans. He said he wanted to make enough
out Of the concert to be given here to en-
able him to have extra rehearsals of the
festival chorus during the summer and
early fall.
He spoke Of the royal reception given
Gadski in the German opera and said that
he had the pleasure of announcing that
he had engaged her for the festival He
said he had also engaged Charlotte Ma
conda, who is fully as pretty as Blauvelt
and can sing fully as we'll. He named
over some of the selections he had in mind
for the combined orchestra and chorus and
for the concert and soloists. Among
others are Beethoven's Fifty Symphony,
parts of Oberon, the Meistersinger and
others, the whole making programme
unsurpassed by anything ever heard in
Maine.
Mr.. Chapman New York season ends
in about month and he then will come
to Maine to lead the rehearsals for the or
chestra concerts. 1t is dream Of his to
take the orchestra to Boston, New York
and Chicago next year and show people
what Maine musicians can do. He is in
correspondence with Belfast parties with
a view to having an orchestra concert
here.

Poultry Notes.

Feed variety.
Give breakfast at d.
Exercise is an egg tome.
Hens won't lay if too tat.
Milk is complete egg ioou.
The starved hen is worthless.
Feed the mash warm-nOt hot
Underfed hens are poor layers.
The morning mash is imperative.
LEI breakfast be only half meal.
Oyercrowded flocks give few eggs.
Cold quarters check egg production.
Rolled wheat is food much relished.
Feed NIGHT meal an hour before dusk.
Proper feeding means health and profit.
Good stock almost always finds quick
sale.
Be very careful to keep the feed troughs
clean.
Ten hens in house 10x10 feet are
enough. The yard should be at least ten
times as large as the floor of the house,
Beans are a good feed because they are
heterogeneous.
EGGS sell better when sent to market in
regular cases.
The early pullets are the profitable
winter egg producers.
The LAYING hen consumes more food
than one not laying.
Ten weeks from shell to market is the
time allotted a chick.
Ten hens with one male make about the
proper proportion.
Ten flocks. each consisting of ten hens,
are enough for an acre.
Keep cabbages hanging in the house
within reach of the fowls.
Scatter the grain at noon among litter,
SO the fowls must exercise.
Egg shells ground to a powder make a
good addition to the mash.
STEPPED clover mixed with the morning
mash, is a great egg producer.
Green bone is a valuable food for grow
ing chicks and matured fowls.
Ground oats, cornmeai and bran consti-
tute proper foods for poultry.
Filthy quarters produce sickness, and
sick hens will not produce eggs.
Gull out the poor layers and give the
prolific hens more room to work.
After the second year the hen $ value as
a winter egg producer lessons.
Green I'VE is the best form for feeding;
as a grain it is a poor poultry food.
Make the hens work. Exercise helps di-
gestion. Feed all they will eat up clean.
Keep the fowls indoors while there is
snow on the ground on the air cold and
raw.
When the weather is cold scald the
morning mash and feed while in warm
state.
Hens and pullets may lay as well with
out the attention of male bird as with it,
Corn should not be fed exclusively. 1t
should lie only a night feed in very cold
weather
Ten cents pound is about the average
price for hens in market for the whole
year
Boiled buckwheat fed once or twice a
week to the hens makes a good alternate
food for egg production.

The Weekly Newspapers Value.

A writer in the Review of Reviews sums
up the attributes of the weekly as follows
each copy is read not only by the five
people usually credited to the ordinary
paper, but by twice or thrice that number
in many instances, for many subscribers
pass their paper on and on to the inmates
of less fortunate homes. These publica-
tions are pre- eminently the home papers
of newspaperdom. They are not super
ficially scanned while men travel to bust
ness and then left for brakemen to gather
up. They 90 directly into homes and the
reading of them is a duty as we'll as a
pleasure. Hence their peculiar value to
advertisers and their value as molders of
public opinion''
