An Auburn man who has been go
ing the rounds of many OF the fairs,
operating games of amusement, says
that the Canton fair was a little the
liveliest of any that he visited. The
people seemed to have lots of money.
For about two hours he operated a
game which netted him $40. A small.
diamond shaped hole in tine center of
an Old door was his money maker.
The patrons gave a certain sum To
throw a certain number of balls at the
hole. 1t looked like big returns for the
investment, but very few balls went
into the hole. lit was harder than it
looked ITO be. Another man scooped
in lots of good money with a common
earthen bowl. 1t was five cents Il
throw, and every time the thrower
made a nickel stay in the bowl he got
a dollar. The only man who did it tor
over two hours was a man who was
ION to the game Before he threw
the coin he wet 1T. and when it struck
the bowl it was there for keeps. But
they didn't let him play any more.

1t is perhaps a trite statement TO say
that the deer are unusually numerous
this year. This announcement has been
made SO many times in the past five
years that the sportsmen are com
mencing to weary OF the iteration.
But the fact is, the annual discovery
that the deer are increasing In the Maine
forests Indicates how successfully the
game laws are working. 1t assures US
that we have i'm the deer thus protect
ed, a perpetual attraction to the State
and an everlasting source OF revenue
to a great many deserving men. Inc
records OF game slaughtered On the
past read grimly enough to the people
who are unacquainted with the vast
resources of the State and the almost
linftlests stretches Of the forest above
and beyond the Penobscot waters.
Folks who know Maine only by the
map are not qualified ito make any crit
jcisrl of the game reserves. A single
township in the Chesuncook region
would furnish plenty of sport for a
hundred men. There are deer every
where-there are hunters only here and
there along the more accessible water
ways and trails. Most men who go in
to the woods purposesy or Instructive
~ follow along in the path of other
men.

A historic treasure trove. we'll
worthy the attention of any antigua
rian, is the old Sparhawk mansion,
Kittery. erected in 1742. With some
exceptions it is practically the Hame
as when occupied by it's original own
ers. The curb roof with its quaint old
Luthern windows, the hall and sitting
room with the rich wall paper in old
English landscape designs, the stairs
with their wonderfully carved b4lus-
trades are yet intact. Still ovei. the
door blink the ancient lights of bulls
eye pattern, which have shed their mel
low light on countless visitors who en-
tered and departed beneath their un-
conscious gaze. The wainsooting is
panelied to the ceiling. some of the
panels being of enormous size. That
over the fireplace in the dining haA is
an entire piece. nearly three feet in
width and seven an length. The fire.
places are tiled with many scenes
from medieval Grecian history adorn-
ing the tiles. The house contained at
one time splendid art gallery, with
many valuable portraits of colonial
celebrities. Some have found their
way dIflo puDiic art galleries ana the
rest are scattered among remote rela-
tives throughout the country. The
manson occupies a magnificent site
upon a lofty eminence With broad,
swelling acres on either side. 1t is APP
preached through a long avenue of
stately elms and more closely APP
proaches an ideal English country seat
then any estate in Maine. Scattered
about the grounds are the ruins of
fine summer houses and by the neigh
boring creek are the crumbiing
wharves from which set forth Colonel
Sparhawk's splendid barges with their
Inverted oarsmen. Tradition has it
that Captain Mowatt visited the man
sion when his fleet was in the harbor,
in October, 1775, and was SO fascinated
that he was dissuaded from his intent
of destroying Portsmouth and sailed
to Falmouth, now Portland, which he
burned. Altogether the mansion is
one of the most fascinating of the CO.
lonial group erected by the Pepperell
family.

There is, however, one of Names ar
dent sportsmen who has mis- own way
of enjoying the autumn forests. This
is Hon. Herbert M. Heath of Augusta
Each fall Mr.. Heath takes to the
woods for month. He Is particular
to select a course over which he has
reason to believe no other man mas
preceded him in many months. Last
year he went across northeastern
Maine along a route so unfrequented
that during whole month he faw no
other man except his guide. TAe for
est for much OF the way was virgin.
For many miles the sportsman kept
away from the water courses. For
sixty miles he and his guide carried
their canoe and dufile. Probably no
other man who goes into the Maine
woods so sedulously hides himself
away from his kind and takes such
heroic trips as does the usually eocia-
bic and gregarious Augusta attorney.
Mr. Heath is now in the heart of the
woods on his annual trip. Before his
departure he said that he should take
the same trip as ne did last season IL
he could find that no one had been
over the route ahead of him.

recent letter received in Portland
from Lieut.. r. E. Peary states that on
August Is, he was at Etah. near the
entrance to Smith sound, up which he
probably proceeded soon after he
wrote. in order to reach his proposed
new camp on the northwest coast of
Greenland this season. Etah, or For:
Foulke, was the place where DR..
Hayes spent the winter of 1S60-61 on
his exploring vessel, United States.
This is a considerable distance north
of Mr.. Pearys former winter camps.
Mr.. Peary writes that, so far, his plans
have prospered. He has taken on
board his steamer, Windward, ~ Eski-
mos, 60 dogs, and the carcasses of 10
walrus, for food for the dogs and ma
tiveS. He was about to send his aux
Hilary ship Hope back to ST. Johns.
There is no doubt that Lieut.. Peary
reached the north water at Etah ahead
of Capt. Sverdrup's expedition on the
Fran, and it appears that he has been
entirely successful in his endeavor to
secure the cooperation of the natives
whose services he desired in his far
northern work. ss&
Speaking of the experience of the
First Maine at Chickamauga, one of
the best known line officers says:
There was one man at Chickamauga
who was a hero if there was one in
the army. That was the man at the
head of the First Maine. Col. Kendall
He has never been given half the
credit due him. l hope he will get II
some day, and so does every man in
the regiment. l have seen him go
about looking after the men when he
was SO sick himself that he could
hardly walk. He never complained on
his own account; it was the men that
he was always thinking Of If there
was a hero at Chickamauga it was
Colonel Kendall. I hope he will get his
reward some day."

believe it. A good many men went in
to the war at So and even 60 years of
age Those who were say 55 in 1863 are
90 today. Hundreds of veterans of the
war will no doubt be found in Maine

THE CAUSE OF IT.

Some remarks are being made re-
garding what seems to be backward
ness ms to enlistments pursuant to the
Presidents call for volunteers. That
there Is no great rush Is not to be de-
MED. but that there is any degree Of
apathy regarding the matter is hardly
probable. The cause of the slowness
is in most cases. no doubt, because of
the nature OF the call that is made.
being for the cavalry and artillery
service and not at all the infantry. the
department in which most OF those who
have all along been in readiness to go
to the front expected to serve.
There seems also to be a misappre-
hension regarding the acceptance of en-
llstments for the artillery or cavalry
branch of the service. Those who de-
sire to be enrolled can do SO in either
of those arms Of the service: the fact
that one is now In the n. G. U. in

MORE PRODUCTION WANTED.

Among the many apt and instructive
things said by the speakers at the last
General Conference, were some words OF
instruction and advice which 1t would
be profitable for people OF other shades
of opinion than those OF the speakers,
and indeed people representing all in
cllnings in this State, to heed. One OF
these utterances was with reference to
home-making and production. The i'm
mediate, and some will contend the
principal cause for the depressed in
equality between the employment 90 be
had and that to be found. To remedy
this, the heroic plan of obtaining not
only plenty OF work to do. bur indie
pendence at the same time is advised.
For many miles along one of the larg-
est streams OF the State. and with :
railroad traversing it from end To end.
il an immense tract OF the richest land
in point of agricultural productiveness
to be found anywhere in the world.
The water can be diverted at almost
any point without much expenditure OF
labor or means, and when once 1t is
brought upon the land In such quantity
and manner that it will be at all times
available, the nucleus of state of
freedom from servile dependence has
already been formed. 1t takes more la
Dor than money to accomplish this.
and there is more labor than money to
be obtained also 1t requires something
in the way of enduring patience and
quiet determination, but these qualities

ness and the correlative evil OF in

some extent imperceptible, but once put
into active play. normal conditions win

1t is not to be galnsaid that for
time such ventures, being so greatly at
variance with the former experiences Of
lifetime, it may be. would be very
irksome and even in some cases risky.

That was a very pretty incident that
took place In Cuban waters on Wednes-
day last. when Admiral Sampson re-
leased captured Spanish officer and
took him to his home under flag Of
truce. The Spanlard's wife. living at
Santa Cruz, some distance from Ha-
vana, a few days previously had pre-
scented her husband with son and he
was naturally DESTROYS OF seeing the
inestimable treasure. With this OBJ,
1ect in view and accompanied by a
crew he sought to run the blockade In
a small boat. hoping to evade the
vigilance of the American sailors. He
reckoned without his host however,
and was speedily gathered In. Upon
his explaining to the admiral the ma
ture of the case he was at once released
from arrest, taken to the point at
which he wished to disembark and
there put ashore, as previously stated,
with no other annoyance having been
visited upon him than was occasioned
by being picked up in the way he was.
Such transactions tell "a tale more
eloquent than any framed by words.
Americans do not fight women and
children or purposely Cypress them;
they do fight men when they have to,
and the more manly they are fought by
their opponents the more their liking
for such work. Moreover, fighting Is
carried on not to punish or destroy. fol
that alone. but to attain desired ends,
In the pursuit of which the last cruel
and most expeditions means are
sought. How different with the ene-
my During the three and half
years war in Cuba they have wanton-
ly slain four women and children for
every soldier killed In legitimate en-
counters, while old people and all other
non-eombatants that could be reached
have been herded together like cattle,
robbed, starved, abused and permitted
to perish slowly and awfully! The
difference between the races Is strongly
marked and painfully visible.
