Turner Truth: One cannot travel in
the State Of Maine in the summer with
open eyes but what he Is startled with
the thought of what a future lies
before the Pine Tree State. Maine Ia
destined to be a regular Klondike in
much corn and wheat as Kansas and
Dakota, or manufacture as many shoes
as Massachusetts,, but when you come
to scenery and the ideal land Of the
tourist we find It all in Maine. When
the West, South and Northwest are
fiensely peopled Maine IL destined to be
the summer play ground Of the nation.
1t will also be the hunting ground and
fishing ground OF the disciples Of old
Izaak Walton and Leather Stockings.
Other states have mountains that are
grander, lakes that are larger, rivers
that are queenlier and salt water that
is warmer, but Maine has rivers, lakes.
islands, mountains and a sea coast
sometimes sandy, and again grit round
with rugged mountains that rise al
most from the sea.
LOU SOIuetIHieS WdHt " 30 AWAY
from home to get the news. This piece
Of information comes from the Chicago
Inter-Ocean. via New York paper:
The bears in northern Maine combine
a great love for the crab apples which
are grown in that region with ignOr-
ance of the appliances of modern civil
ixation. When a telegraph company
started to put up poles in the woods be-
tween Ashland and Fort Kent, the
simple minded bears began to sniff at
the tall sticks with suspicion. evidently
mistaking them for some new form Of
dead fall that was erected for the
special purpose of killing bears. They
stayed AWAY from the camps of the
wOrkmen all the time the route was
being surveyed and while the poles
were going up. refusing to respond TO
the Turing doors OF scorched fat pork
or burnt molasses. But when the glass
insulatOrs We're screwed to the long
arms Of the poles every bear in north
ern Aroostook came out to watch the
progress Of the work.
Although the superintendent OF the
JOo liz lAic CoHAiNCtcu 0uA
ready for service month ago, the
company has been unable to procure
the transmission Of messages through
the long strip of woods above Ash
land. A double force of linemen Is
kept at work all the time. but in spite
of their labors the insulators are pulled
off and broken SO often that no COM
munication can be kept up for three
hours in succession. The company
hired detectives and offered large re-
wards for the capture Of malicious men
caught injuring the insulators. AS
this proved useless, the detectives
finally went into the woods and found
the whole line swarming with bears
that climbed the poles and bit of the
insulators faster than the linesnen
could renew them. The only way the
telegraph men can account for this
perverted taste on the part of the
bears is that the animals belie;e that
the insulators are their favorite crab
apples. and they have gone aloft ana
made actual proof. The telegraph
lines will apparently be able to do no
business until every bear in ArOostOOk
county has thus satisfied himself.

Bangor Wing: The attention of the
people has been so completely absorbed
in the events incident to the war that
one would hardly imagine that an i'm
portant State election is to occur now
in a few weeks. OF the result of that
election there is no question, but it is
important that the verdict should be
an emphatic one. The one element of
danger is to be found in the confidence
of the voters that the election is per-
fectly safe, hence no personal effort Is
necessary. This sentiment should be
corrected. 1t is not enough that the
Republicans elect their, State ticket.
We want majority that will show
Names loyal support Of tine admin
istration and at the same time stand as
an emphatic re-affirmation Of popular
opposition to the reputation advo-
Gated in the Chicago platform. which
is the only real issue in the Democratic
doctrine in this State. These two con-
siderations are certainly sufficient to
enlist the support of every patriotic
citizen, who should make it his duty to
help swell the popular verdict.

The crookedest brook in America is

The potato crop in Aroostook county
grows bigger every year. The gain is
not in barrels and carloads but in mil

raised big crops of potatoes in the past.
this year promises to beat all previous
records. Not only is there an immense
acreage under cultivation. hut the
condition of the crop is above the
average. giving assurance of an i'm
mense harvest. Though prices rule
low at present, the outlook for average
rates is very fair.

From Harper's Weekly.
Americans who have penetrated as
far away from home as London remark
as one of the more striking pcculiarl-
ties of that metropolis the cNtraoi di-
nary difficulty in getting something To
eat there after midnight. There are
perhaps 30 open Knight restaurants
IN New York, and in all considerable
American cities provision Is made for
people who have occasion for food when
most people are asleep. The restaurant

three years, have come to be familiar
