COMMISSIONER CARLETON +
PRESENTS MAINE. a.

At the dinner given at Copley Square
hotel in Boston, Tuesday night, by the
Massachusetts Fish and Game Protective
Association, Hon. Leroy T. Carleton was
an invited guest.
Mr.. Carleton, who is chairman of the
Fish and Game Commission of Maine,
spoke. He brought the kindly greetings
of the Fish and Game Association of
Maine to the Massachusetts association.
The 0,0OO, COO that were spent in Maine
annually for fishing and hunting, and at
the seashore resorts. came largely from
Massachusetts, and Maine people knew
it, They always welcomed the sportslnen
from the Bay State. He said Maine was
hampered by want of reciprocal legis-
lation on the part of neighboring states
for the restriction of hunting and fish
ing. He suggested that If Massachusetts
would make law prohibiting the sale
of gameywhich had been illegally killed
and shipped it would help things along
nightly.

of it, The story Of the big game on the
Red Wing would so far and fast enough
as it was without women's tongues t(
wag.
A few steps toward the stern and the
captain s search was ended He uttered
an exclamation of fright and ran for
ward at brisk pace.
White and limp, staring with unsee-
ing eyes into the flushed and handsome
face OF vigorous young woman who
held him securely pinioned against the
side OF the cabin, he discovered the OBJ
ject of his search.
The young lady greeted him quietly
as she released her prisoner.
s'I am very glad you happened this
way. / did not want to call for help.
People are SO panicky on a boat. - She
loosed her hold upon Belknaps shout
ders and stepped backward with sigh
of relief. ~ think that young man was
about to do something desperate. !
CHANGED to see him through my slat
door. He is evidently under the infiu-
enoe of some drug. You had better make
him drink lots of strong black coffee. -
Belknap's head had fallen forward on
his breast. The captain put his strong
arms tenderly around him. His blue
eyes were fixed admiringly on the young
woman who was daintily readjusting
her displaced cuffs.
"Why didn't you scream?" he asked.
s'Soream? What for?''
E ooh, well, just on general principles;
because you're woman, don't you
know"
The young woman showed her white
teeth in flashing smile, then glanced
gravely at the partially stupefed Bel
KNAPP, and said:
''You had better be seeing about that
coffee, captain
''All right
Riley started away with his prisoner,
but halted to call back over his shoulder:
"Miss Bascom, I say, you're one in

whole boat and advertising this poor
boys foolishness. -

BETTER THAN POSTAL BANKS.


(From ''Postal Savings Banks" by
John P. Townsend, President Bowery
Savings Bank, in Gunton's Magazine
for February.)
Whilst savings banks are very desirable
in the interests of the people, for many
reasons it does not seem that the system
Of government paternalism should be ex-
tended in this direction. OF course in the
older states it would not be expected that
many people would make deposits under
the system proposed, as they now receive
from three to four per cent interest and
would not be likely to change their &C.
counts if they were to receive but two
per cent. In the South and West, where
savings banks do not exist. they can be
easily established under the system in
vogue in New York State in particular,
and in New England where no capital
is required. A certain number of Inen
under the supervision of the Banking
Department organize themselves into a
body called trustees, and after examina-
ton as to their qualifications, their stand
ing and reputation, if the department de-
termines that a bank is necessary in the
lcality suggested, the trustees are author
lied to receive deposits and they attend to
the business in person until the bank has
accum ulated sufficient surplus to pay it's
own expenses. II any community would
like to benefit the working classes, they
have only to have such system fadopted
in the several states and go.ahead. Every
has sufficient number of
men, in whom the people have confidence,
to act as trustees. Every state has de-
v,{, 10 iy>ck
could report, and their methods should be
supervised assthey are in the State of New
York and in New England, in the inter-
est of all concerned.

Russia, who was yesterday appointed
by President Mckinley to succeed
Cornelius n. Bliss, rs secretary OF the

The colonel was furious. The company
that he had detached for the purpose Of
storming the hill and capturing the fort
on top of it was the only one that could
be spared, and unless his plans as ar
ranged were executed the whole cam
paign would fail. Not only that, but his
little army would in all probability be cut
of from the main body and wiped out Of
existence.
II was q critical moment. The captain
could be court-martialed and shot for his
refusal to obey orders, but what Of it,
Every man was needed. To court.martiai
and shoot the obstinate captain would not
be to take the hill and the fort. He was
the only man who could do it with the force
at his command.
What was to be done? The colonel
gnawed his mustache and thought hard. At

"Think, man, think Of the glory that
you will win II you do this thing" he urged.
