Only Men Need Apply.

A few days ago West Reynoldsville
housewife was pondering the tramp
question and the thought suggested
itself to her that it was strange that all
the vagrants who go around begging
for "bite to eat" are men, most of
whom are well able to work, and never
woman tramp is seen. Not long after
she had been thinking Of the matter,
rap was heard at the back door
and daughter responded to the
timid knock. She was asked the usual
question and, turning to her mother,
said:
'There is some one here who wants
something to eat"
SIS it a man or woman ?" asked the
parent.
ga man." was the reply.
"Well, since it's poor man you can
give him something, but il it was a
woman she couldn't have it,"
The incredulous look on the tramp's
countenance, which afterwards broke
into broad smile, showed that a new
idea had been forced upon his brain.

Subject for Tar and Feathers.

Last Wednesday Polish woman at
Rathmel became the mother OF a girl
baby, and when her husband came
homo from work he was exceedingly
wrathy because the baby was not boy,
and he poured out his wrath in the
vilest language upon his wife. To
"drown his sorrow" on Thursday the
Polander ''guzzled" from the cup that
intoxicates until he was drunk enough
to be more devilish than he had been
on Wednesday and then he went to his
home and kicked and pounded his help
less wife shamefully because she gave
birth to a girl instead of boy. The
brute then took sixty dollars his wife
had In the house and skipped out and
has not been heard from since. Had
the Polander remained in Rathmel
after performing such devilish act the
good people of that place would have
done their duty by giving him a coat Of
tar and feathers.

A Democrats Opinion.

A number Of jefferson county Repub-
licans are after the scalp Of w. O..
Smith, OF the Punxsutawney Spirit,
because his friends want to send him
back to the Legislature for the fifth
time. There may be just as good Re-
publicans in Jefferson county as Brother
Smith. No doubt there are few scat
tered around, but there are none who
can serve the people OF that county at
Harrisburg as we'll as can Smith.
He has been there long enough to get
onto all the curves, and while he has
always maintained his party standing
with the leaders, he has invariably
steered clear OF all questionable deals
and unholy alliances. II the Jefferson
county Republicans are wise they will
stick to Smith, rs the only way to get
better man would be TO send Demo

THE NATIONAL GUARD.
How Quickly Could Names Soldiers
Rally in Case of Need?

Adiutant General Richards was asked
by Kennebec Journal reporter Tuesday,
in how short a time, and at what expense
the National Guard of Maine could be
assembled should it become necessary.
General Richards replied that he was not
in position to say. but is making
thorough investigation of the matter, and
can tell IN few days, just what could be
done in mobilizing the State troops in
case of an emergency, and at about what
approximate cost. Inssome states there is
to be a trial of the idea, to see just what
can be done, but the Maine Guard is so
handicapped by the lack of funds at Its
disposal, that such an attempt would cost
10 much that it would necessarily involve
the giving up of the annual encampment.
At the next school of the I'd Regiment,
that is to be held at Bangor, very soon,
one session will be devoted to the subject
of the concentration of the regiment at
Vanceboro. The captains of each of the
different companies are investigating the
matter, and will report to Colonel Phil
brook, just how soon they can get their
companies there in case Of call. There
has been much discussion of late, regard
.
those who do not know. Many claim that
under the rules of the National Guard, a
member could be sent to any part of the
United States for duty.
A journal reporter asked General Rich
ards about the matter, Tuesday.
1.-THE regulations of the National Guard
are no different than those of the old
Maine militia" answered the general,
'sthe name was changed merely to make
it more general. A man who is q mem
ber of the Guard could not be compelled
to go outside the state to do service, al
though I do not think we have a man in
the Guard, who is so dfsloyal that he
would refuse to do SO. If asked. The
members of the Guard are for service in
the state only. Should the nation SO de-
sire think every man would consent to
be mustered into the regular service. -
sThere is bill now in Congress that
provides for more arms and equipments
for each :state, butsin order to have these,
the enlistment would he different from
our present Guard, as it would be made
to include service in any part of the
United States if necessity required"
