MRS. NJ. +. MAYO.
\ picture grand, with colors rich and rare
Shaded in perfect tints without compare,
Enhancing to the eye, beauty fraught,
Appealing To the heart pure in thought,
Because power to influence and to mould
The taste of other artists, who behold
Its wondrous harmony of tint and tone,
And long to make that skiIlful touch their own.
Ere the first stroke of brush the artists eye
On that blank canvas clearly could descry
The blending of the lights and shades and hues
And eyn the fitting background he would
choose,
To make this work a masterpiece of art,
In which by touch of hand was shown his heart.
Upon marble block, with steady gaze
sculptor looked. He saw without amaze
A chiseled figure carved in perfect form;
symbol of peace, after battles storm.
With touch so def and apprehension keen;
With skill so exquisite and mind serene;
With patient care from out that stone he
brought
The vision, which at first lived but in thought,
whtcwinged angel, pure as heaven above,
Rising Ger carnage-type of peace and love.
His fellow workmen of that age and cline,
And famous scuptors in succeeding time,
Studied his work and found their passion fired
To nobler aims, by power he inspired.
Artist and sculptor sumber with the dead.
Ah no through all the years they live instead,
worthy thought, vision in the mind,
Which, in futurty, shall bless mankind,
Perpetuates a life; makes it to be
power for good. whose end we cannot see.
This truth eXempliled shines forth to-day.
His generation ali have passed away,
But in this handiwork of grace and skill,
He who conceived the thought is living still.
Inherent in true manhood is the aim
To higher standards, broader views, claim
To liberty OF thought and speech; u need
Is thus produced, to which this generous deed
To many lives will make an open door
OF opportunity, ne'er known before.
To-day we seem to take from hands long still

THE NEW ACADEMY.

For almost a round hundred years
Bluehill has been the seat of a school of
higher learning, Of academic grade.
Here many young men, especially, have
fitted for college, and many more young
men and women have received efficient
training for responsible positions in pub
lie and private life.
The old Blueniil academy was founded
by an act of Incorporation passed by the
general court OF Massachusetts tof which
the state of Maine was then a part)
bearing the date of March 8, 1903 This
act was brought about by the rethought
and wisdom OF such men as David and
Thomas COBB, David Thurston, Revs.
jonathan Fisher, William Mason and
jonathan Powers, Messrs. Robert Parker,
Theodore Stevens, Donald Ross and John
Peters, jr., men who by the difficulties
and privatioas which they encountered
have recorded the deep appreciation in
which they held a thorough education.
Under the fostering care of these noble
sires there have gone from this institution
some whose names stand high on life's
scroll. From her ranks have gone forth
teachers, lawyers, doctors, ministers.
editors, poets, musicians, legislators and
soldiers, who have borne their part in
and ped on the mighty movement of
rppIip years

People Ne Know.
They are Ellsworth People and What
They Say is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following oc-
ours right here at home, it is bound to
carry weight with our readers. When so
many strange occurrences go the rounds
of the press and are published as facts,
when the intelligent reader knows they
cannot be true, there is no wonder that
people become skeptical. On one subject
skepticism is rapidly disappearing. This is
due to the actual personal experience of
our citizens and their public utterances
regarding them. The doubter must
doubt no more in the face of such evil
dence as this. The public statement of
a reputable citizen living right here at
home, one whom you can see every day,
leaves no ground for the skeptic to stand
on.

Sowing Mixed Grains.

In many parts of the country very
seeding a mixture of oats, barley and
wheat in the spring, allowing this to
mature, then threshing and grinding
the grain together. The combination
makes a well-balanced grain ration and
is exceedingly valuable, particularly
for all kinds of young stock and for
fattening hogs. The amount of seed of
course will depend somewhat upon the
kind of land, but it is usually the Gus
tom to mix the seed in the following
proportions: Wheat ,. barley and
oats /. OF course the proportion of each
is entirely optional with the farmer and
the grain which does best in any local
ity should be given prominence. Sow
two or three bushels of the mixture to
the acre. the same as spring wheat or
oats. taking care to cover we'll and have
the seed bed thoroughly pulverized.
Sow as early as convenient in the
spring and do not harvest until the
grain is we'll ripened. 1t is advisable to
select varieties of these grains that
ripen as nearly at the same time as
possible. Spring wheat, barley and oats
usually mature together. but by careful
selection this can be made almost GER
tain.
This crop can be used for soiling. Cut
any time after it is mature enough to
he of value If cut just before the
blossom appears the greatest amount
of digestible nutrients will be obtained
and the most beneficial results. BY
sowing a succession. soiling material
can be had during the entire season,
particularly the last part of summer
and the early weeks of autumn, when
pastures are apt to be short. On many
farms of the central west soling crops
are not grown. but small fields near the
barn or feed lot will be found Valua BILE

part in the undcrtonc Of strength in
stocks. yesterday. Today. the WipinS
cut Of paper profits and the tumhlng
Of prices i'll wheat resulted in the UNI
covering of margins in liquidation Of
the stock market. This was particu-
larry noticeable in the later dealings
after the plunge in the price of July

Thu stock market during the early
part Of the day absorbed q very large
line Of offerings t. liquidatc profits and
the selling for London account WAS al
so again heavy. the total sales for that
accounts being estimated at over $25. =
600 shares. The general demand for
stocks through commission houses
was sufficient To take up these offerings
at a we'll sustained level of prices.
There was evidence also Of the opera
tion of bull pool here and these in
the list notably in some of the low
priced stocks which are usually almost
inactive ard immovable.
The strength impaired to these stocks
helped to sustain the market and with
the rally from the opening weakness
in the wheat market and there came a
period of aggressive strength in stocks
which lifted prices substantially above
last nights level. The late decline was
effected on much smaller volley of of
fering than was We'll absorbed in the
morning dealings. Short selling by the
bears was CONSPICUOUS. a slump of
over four points in Tobacco also had its
effects in the late weakness. There
were fractional recoveries before the

sterling exchange in face of the easier
tendency OF money. the large selling
