THE STALKING OF THE SEA WOLVES.

They had come from out of the East
To ravage and burn and kill;
And they stopped fora moment to rest and
wait
In a landlocked harbor still.
But grim sea dog there was
Who had stalked them through spray and
foam;
And he came, and he looked, and he smiled,
and said:
They'll never get homer'
Then another old sea dog came,
And they sat them down to wait,
Untiring, stern, through long, dry days,
At the harbor's frowning CUTE.
Under the hot, fierce sun,
Under the still blue dome,
The sea dogs waited and watched and
growled.
"Theyn never get homer
And the wolves came forth at last,
And the grim sea dogs closed in;
And the battle was won, and the Old Flag
waved
Where the banner OF Spain had been.
The colors OF blood aud gold
Sank deep In the churning foam,
And the sea dogs growled; eve have kept
our words;
"They'll never get homel"
Cheers for the vow we'll kept!
To the sea dogs twain toast!
From our lands birth-throes have our SEQ
dogs been
Our glory, our pride and boast.
Whatever our perlls be
In the unseen years to come,
Our trust is in men like the man who said,
"Theyll never get homer

In 1890 consumption caused 1922
199 deaths in the United States, being
235.36 deaths per 100, 900 people.
England shows lower rate than this,
or 174.9, but Prussia q much higher
one, or 3043. Among the colored
people the rate of death from this
disease is more than twice as high as
that of the whites, or 546.11. The
rate is also higher among foreign than
native born, or 312.33. 1t is higher
in cities than in the country, among
married people than among single, and
among widowed than among either.
OF all regions of the United States,
there are, as befoIe said, fewer deaths
from this disease, comparatively, in
the southwest central region than in
any other. Here the rate is only 81. "A
in the one thousand deaths from oil
causes. The three other parts of the
United States which most nearly ap-
proaches this record, are the Cor
dilleran region, theWestern plains,
and the region of the great lakes.

President Thwing, making a COM
parison between college expenses of
the past and of the present, thinks
that many sons of small farmers and
tradesmen are practically excluded
from university advantages of to-day.
From 1926 to 1880, the average au-
nual expenses were one hundred and
seventy-six dollars. In the sixties,
war prices prevailed-$263 to $437
yearly, two-thirds for board and room
In 1872, the average expense to an
economical student ranged from $4S4
to SS07. At Yale, the average for
1898 was S6S7.50. Amherst, Dart
mouth and other colleges show the
same development. The conclusion
of discreet reviewer seems to be just,
that "if the purpose of those who
have given the great endowments and
the general spirit of America demand
that the opportunity of college edu-
cation shall be given to boys of rela-
lively poor families, the end must be
obtained either by restoring for all
students the old New England sys-
tenn of low fees, or by establishing for
all the new Western system OF free
education from the kindergarten to
the university"

one who is curious enough to under

WISE WORDS.

Character is the poor mans capital.
No one can rise who sights his
work.
Our ambitions are as secure as our
merits.
Every good quality carries its own
weight of power.
Ideals are mind-pictures drawn in
the lights and shadows of our best
thoughts.
If we look at the world through the
spectacles of our best thoughts it will
reveal q nobler aspect than it gets
credit for.
We are as great as we are good; as
insignificant as we are self-conceited;
as noble as we are truthful, and as re-
ligiously beautiful as we are charit-
able.
Whenever you commend, add your
reasons for doing 80; it is this which
distinguishes the appreciation of q
man of sense from the flattery OF
sycophants and fools.
In every pursuit Of life it is the
effort, the preparation, the discipline,
the earnest labor that makes the
valuable man in every department,
not the mere fact Of his occupying
this or that position.

An Absent-MInded Man.

A Waterville physician thinks he is
entitled to the prize for the champion
absent-minded man. Some weeks ago
a woman who lives some miles out of
the city called at his office and paid u
bill of $40 for professional services.
Recently she came into his office again
and asked him if he was always will
ing to rectify mistakes. OF course he
replied that he was, and she thereupon
produced the doctors check for SO
drawn to her order, all in due form.
After, thinking hard for a moment it
dawned ON the physician that when
the woman had paid him on her pre-
vious visit he had seized his checkbook
instead of his receipt-book. The fill
ing out of the check embraced about
the same process as the making out OF
receipt, and neither noted the mis-
take until the woman chanced to ex-
anime the paper ther home.-Kenne-
bee Journal.

Lieutenant Geelmuyden, Of the
Royal Norwegian Navy, admires the
Oregon so much that he has advised
his Government to give the contract
for the two warships which it pro-
poses to build to an American firm.
Such action ON his part is evidently
an indication that our naval victories
are destined to inaugurate new era
of progress for American shipbuild-
ing.

The annual report of the Massachu-
setts Bureau of Statistics Of Labor
presents exceedingly interesting and
important facts regarding the CON-
parative wages and price Of labor in
1872, 1881 and 1897. In general the
results indicate a higher wage rate in
1897 than in 1881. OF course in order
to determine whether wages have
really gone up or down the prices
Of commodities and the purchasing
Of money must be taken into account.
From the figures given it is shown
that all articles classified as groceries
were lower in price in 1897 thap in
1881 with the single exception of green
Rio coffee. Provisions also show
lower prices in general. In the mat
ter of fuel lower prices prevailed in
1897 than in 1881. In rents the rates
we're slightly lower in 1897 than in
1881 for six-room tenements; Or four
room tenements the rents were slightly
higher in 1897 than in 1881. The
rates for board were lower in 1897
than in 1881. The result of the in
quiry shows plainly that the scale Of
wages for labor in 1897 was higher
than in 1881 and that the purchasing
power of one dollar was greater in
1897 than in 1881.

hands to the rear end.
Then he grasped the tank tightly
with those riders legs of his, and
bending over, twisted a glove-finger
in a bullet-hole, thus changing its
squirt to trickle.
While he was thus engaged, the
horses, freed from his governing hand,
broke in their gallop. The counter
felt Bannocks began to gain, and in
their whoops Of exultation seemed the
real savages that they counterfeited.
Steve could see them plainly as,
swinging easily in their saddles, they
refilled the exhausted magazines OF
their rifles from their cartridge belts.
The sight lent nimbleness to his
fingers busy with the bulletholes and
plugs.
The last hole was stopped, and
Steve, clambering back to the seat,
settled the team once more to steady
speed.
In his haste he sat exposed on the
seat; but the riders behind made him
their target no longer. Riding well
out ON either side, they began shoot
ing at the horses.
Then for the first time Steve was
alarmed. Should one Of the team be
hit and fall, Red Hole would be water
less that night.
Rising recklessly on the seat, he
fiourished the ends of the long lines
and lashed them over the launches of
his span.
The tank with its lessened load
bounded forward as if it, too, were
alive and mad with excitement. Strik-
ing the grade to Red Hole, it
plunged along faster even than the
horses who flew before it with elack-
ened tugs.
Then Steve, exulting, became some
thing of savage himself. He danced
perilously on the edge of the tilted
foot board, whooped in emulation OF
those behind, and waved his hat 70
them in daring derision.
Their ponies, suffering from want OF
water, could not long keep the pace
set by the big, fresh rangers of the
desert. Steve saw them suddenly halt.
They were miles from any water ex-
cept that in the evasive tank. 1t was
needful for them, now that they were
detected, to retreat quickly to their
mountain refuge. The disguised scoun-
drels must spare their horses to save
themselves.
Steve saw them sit, silent and mo-
tionless, as they let their horses take
breath. Then wheeling about, they
were lost, like coyotes, in the shadows
of the sage-brush.
Steve then held in his fuming team
to let it cool safely down, and trundled
easily and triumphantly into Red Hole
several hours ahead of stage time.
The next morning the stage from
Salmon River arrived duly with the
sun at Lost River station, without in
terruption on the way; and not far be-
hind it the empty tank, returning,
rolled with hollow rumbling.
1t was nearly the middle Of the day
when blackboard drove into the sta
ton, and its driver entered the stage
barn as one who had authority. Steve,
somnolent in the corner stall, felt the
horse blanket drawn from his face
Looking up, he saw ''the old man."
The superintendent listened in 81
lence to what Steve had to tell him
He reflected moment with his eyes
fixed on Steve, and then his comment
if somewhat irrelevant, was exceed
ingly gratifying to the hostler.

WAITING ORDERS"


To feel that we could battle, too,

And not be tagging at the sound

Self-trust is shattered, too;
At last we wonder, could we strike
AS hard as others dop
And could we stand the storm OF fire,
The bullets dreadful hail,
Like that heroic vanguard stands,
Nor at the carnage quail2
All, sadder than to storm the height,
