Narrow and steep the pathway we must tread,
And even then the crown may be of thorn,
Which all the years thereafter must be BORNE
Till silence numbers US among the dead;
Hard must we toll to win this bitter bread,
And through the clear flash of the radiant
morn,
Oft sec the clouds, with edges tempest torn,
Rise in dense gloom, by disappointment led.
Yet is not all this strife better gift
Than aimless wanderings through sunlit
days
Does not each upward struggle serve 10 lift
The soul to where Gods clearer radiance
plays,
Till through some stern and rock-embattled rift
We reach at last lifes firm and level ways2

The Washington County railroad will

worth Friday to accommodate the foot
ball players. As this is the first excursion
to Ellsworth from Calais, Il big crowd is
expected.
Saturday the high school team will go
to Bucksport for its second game with
the seminary team. The first game three
weeks ago was won by the Ellsworth
team by a score Of 1910. But the Bucks
port boys have improved wonderfully
since then, and with the advantage Of
much greater weight, it would not be
surprising If they won Saturdays game.
But the Ellsworth high school boys are a
lively little lot, and will go in the game
to win.

There is no use denying that admirers
of the Dirigos expected better things OF

Recommends Salary Basis for Certain
Officials.
There are certain offices in the state:
That of clerk of the supreme court, oil in
spector, and surveyors general of logs, in
which the emoluments are measured by
fees collected by the incumbents. 1t is
commonly understood that the revenues
are so large that they cannot in any sense
of the word be regarded as compensation.
When the income of an office passes be-

laws relative to these offices be amended
so as to place the offices on salaried basis.
The report of the State Railroad and
Warehouse commission will be laid be.
fore you. No new legislation is needed on
that subject, except that the record made
before the commission on a hearing should
be made to constitute the record on ap.
peal. The present practice of trying the
case de novo in the district court is use
less and expensive, and by its delays
tends to defeat the ends Of the law.
The telephone service and the telephone
companies in the state should be placed
under the jurisdiction Of the commission,
and it should be given tire same power to
compel connections, control joint rates,
ana rates, that it now possesses in regard
to other common carriers.
The criticism which the commission has
been subjected to in connection with the
grain inspection department relates to adj
miniStration and cannot be discussed

public opinion. So long as nine-tenths Of
our people would rather cut tree than

Cruel Captain:

1t would not occur to many people
that voyage in one of the swan boats
which sail the little pond in the public
garden Of a New England city could be
attended with horrors, but that idea
was firmly fixed in the mind of a small
maiden of years.
"Wouid you like ride in one of the
swan boats, Marjorie?' asked the little
maids aunt as they crossed the bridge
over the pond one day.
"No, indeed said Marjorie, with
sudden shrinking. 81 couldn't bear to
see them throw the babies in.
"The man says that's what he does,
she asserted with rising excitement as
her aunt looked much perplexed. Hear
him! He's saying it now"
Her aunt listened, and of truth the
mans statement, viewed from Mar
jorie's standpoint. was far from reas-
surfing.
''Take ride in the swan boats" be
called loudly from the landing. "Grown

with deceptive smile, he added, "Ba-

NObOdy's Mother.

There is story told on one Of the

seen the light Of print already. Of how
not long ago very young barrister rose
to examine one of his witnesses with an
unacoountably hazy notion Of her iden-
tity. II think that you are the prison
er's mother?' he began.
Certainly not, sir" was the unex-
pected answer.
Turning hurriedly to his brief, he
thought he had found the reason for her
evident annoyance. "Ah, yes" he con-
tinued, II see, you are the prosecutrix's
mother?''
Certainly not" came her reply, still
more emphatically.
"Then whose mother are you?'' he
demanded, almost in despair, and she
fairly boiled over with indignation as
she retorted: "Nobody's, sir. am q

THE ALBATROSS.
A Bird of Majestic Aerial Velocity
and Unsuitable Appetite.


Out of the blue void the albatross
comes unhasting on motionless pinions,
yet at such speed that one moment a
speck hardly discernible, turn but your
eyes away, and ere you can again look
round he is gliding majestically over
head. Nothing in nature conveys to the
mind SO wonderful an idea of effortless
velocity as does his calm appearance
from vacancy. Like most of the true
pelagic birds. he is a devourer of offal,
the successful pursuit of fish being i'm
posi- BILE to his majestic evolutions. His
appetite is enormous, but his powers of
abstinence are equally great, and often
for days he goes without other nourish
ment than drink of the bitter sea. At
the Gargantuan banquet provided by a
carcass of dead whale be will gorge
himself until incapable of rising from
the sea, yet still his angry scream may
be heard as if protesting against his in
ability to find room for more provision
against hungry days soon to follow.
Despite his incompatible grace
flight when gliding through midail
with his mighty wings outspread, when
ashore or ON deck he is'clumsy and i'll
at ease. Even seated upon the sea, his
proportions appear somewhat ungainly,
while his huge hooked beak seems too
heavy to be upheld. On land he can
hardly balance himself, and the broad
silky webs of his feet soon become LAGER
ated. Thus his visits to the lone and
generally inaccessible rocks which are
his breeding places are as brief as may
be, since even conjugal delights are
dearly purchased with hunger and pain
full restraint. A true child of the air,
land is hateful to him, and only on the
wing does he appear to be really at
home and easeful. London Spectator.

Napoleon In Evergreen.

The great Napoleon, done in ever
green, is the unique statue that stands
in the garden Of M. d'Aguilleres, in the
suburbs of Paris. The statue is a perfect
model of the little corporal in char
acteristio attitude, wearing cooked
hat and sword and snuffbox in hand.
The features are very lifelike'
The greatest care is necessary in order
to preserve the likeness, and the artist
gardener spends considerable time in
clipping off dead leaves and cutting
away an occasional branch. The sigma
ture of Napoleon is reproduced at the

DIRECT LEGISLATION.
FavOrs the Adoption of the Initiative and

Favors the Adoption of the Initiative and
Referendum.
Under the new economic conditions
which have obtained and which have
made capital, through organization, such
potent factor in SOC ETY. and in 1egisla
ton, it has become necessary that the in.
dividual citizen should be given more eff.
fcient means for his protection. The ex.
clusively representative method is nc
longer a safeguard as has been so prom.
inently demonstrated in the recent
franchise scandals in one of our
sister states. Instances of similar
character though not so fragrant, arc not
wanting in our history. The only RENE
dy, it seems to me, against such abuses, is
to afford the people a constitutional
method by which they can initiate needed
reforms, by direct action on the one hand,
and exercise the veto power on questi,na.
able or corrupt legislation on the other.
This involves the introduction of no new
principles in our form of government.
There are no stronger reasons for trusting
the people to pass upon men than upon
measures. We do not think so in regard to
constitutional enactments, which is legis-
lation in its highest and most important
form. The people now have the power to

matter of locating county seats, and in
some municipal undertakings. This
power, with proper restrictions as to the
time and frequency of it's exercise, should
be extended to other important questions.
Would Amend the Constitution.
The constitution could, and in my
Judgment should, be so amended as to
enable minority in the legislature by
appropriate action to refer enactments, at
least such as extend corporate privileges
or authorize the granting of franchises, to
a vote of the people before becoming OPP
erative.
Governor Lind recommends that work
on the new capitol be pushed as expedi.
tiously as possible. To that end he would
have permission granted to the commits
sion to anticipate tho tax levy by the use
of some of the trust funds Of the state. to
which no profitable or suitableinvestL
has been found.

LIVING IN THE COUNTRY.
The Growing Fondness For Rural
Life a Good Sign.

The Growing Fondness For Rural
Life a Good Sign.
In The Ladies' Home Journal Edward
Box, with much satisfaction, notes the
strong tendency to country living and
believes that sit is one of the best signs
of the times. Nothing in the world can
keep a man or woman SO young and
fresh as to be able to be in touch each
day with the perpetual freshness and
youth of nature. Suburban life means
more out of door living, and that is
what we Americans all need. We want
more exercise, and suburban living
makes that easier. We want our inter-
est i'm things kept fresh, and that nature
does for us as nothing else can.
"The more our busy men see of ma
ture's restful ways the more restful
will they become. The closer we keep
our children to the soil the healthier
will they be physically and the stronger
will they develop mentally. The more
our girls breathe in the pure air which
God intended for all, but which man in
the cities pollutes, the better women we
shall have, the fewer worried mothers
we shall see. The more our young men
see Of out Of door sports the more clear
~ will they realize the greatness Of
splendid physical health.
''The more the tired housewife sees OF
flowers and plants and trees the closer
will become her interest in all things
natural and simple, sand. as she sees the
simplicity with which nature works I'M
consciously, will the lesson be forced up
on her and enter into her own methods.
We all agree that there as no teacher
like nature herself. Let US all, then, get
as close to her as possible. Whatever
she teaches is wholesome to the mind
and uplifting to the soul and strength
ening to the body. In the very act Of
studying her wonderful ways there Is
health
