Apeedots OF HIS Career.

This is a story about one OF those
"anarcnists'' OF the late hfties. Today
he sleeps in a lonely grave, and peo-
pie are talking about a monument for
him. We take the following from the
latest issue of the Youths Companion;
Governor Andrew. like President
Lincoln. knew that the supreme tonic
OF life is on its spiritual side. To find
religious exercise. il not religious eS-
preston for his thoughts and feelings
was his frequent practice, and II never
failed to rest and restore him During
the civil war his labors were inces-
SAINT, and repeatedly he spent whole
nights at the Statehouse. This was the
case especially. as Chalain Barnes has
told us in Zions Herald. through the
closing days Of 1862. On the last night
of that year-the third night of
sleepless strain OF official duty-he
suddenly threw aside his work, and
said to his private secretary. We are
driving this too hard. Let's turn the
key in the door and go down to watch
meeting at the Old Bethel"
A crowd OF sailors. 'longshoremen.
riggers and steyedores nearly fIled the
Bethel that night. but he found a seat
among them. and took his silent part
in the devotions Near midnight 4
sign from Father Taylor called up the
hard-woTked chief magistrate to ad-
dress the men. He had already forgot
ten his fatigue. Governor Andrew was
an eloquent man. and more familiar
with the Bible than many great law
yers. and It's words. uttered in his
clear, resistless way. carried their own
force without borrowing anything
from the rank OF the speaker.

substance of what he SAID. we ap-

Invented.
We owe the invention of the sewing
machine to Elias Howe. an American
mechanic. as you all know. He had a
large family to care for, and could give
only his odd moments to the construc-
ton of his machine. But while labor
ing for daily bread for himself and
has family, he was constantly think
ing out his invention. He got on
quite well until he came to the max
ing of a needle; then he was at
standstill, for he could not discover
where the eye of the needle should be
placed. At first he thought that
needle fashioned after the ordinary
needle for hand-sewing might be all
right, but after much experimenting
he found that 1t would not do. He was

The fact is that the situation in

the mistakes of President Mckinley,

Are the Naples Doomed?

The ravages of the tent caterpillar
among the maple forests of Vermont
and New Hampshire are already
wrecking one of the great industries
of this section, the making of maple
sugar. Good authorities think that
repetition of the experiences of the
past two years will practically de.
stroy hundreds of acres once covered
with splendid sugar orchards. The
evil effects were tet last year, when
in many sections there was a great
shrinkagc in the flow of sap. This
year many of the farmers in this
section are not going to tap their
