Hank ofrnsIand Court.

The Bank Of England contains what
still continues TO be a surprise to Wis.
itors. After passing through the first
quadrangle. which is small and gloomy
and paved with hagstones, one pro.
ceeds through an archway into a court
yard which for beauty would DO dill.
cult 10 match anywhere II Is prac.
tically a garden-peaceful. shady and
secluded as any In England-in which
Is breathed an air Of old world poetry.
Venerable trees cast long, cool shadows
across the brilliant turf Through Their
thick foliage one catches glimpses OF
the somber Corinthian pillars on the
opposite side. lighted with the last lin
gering rays Of the setting sun and
forming a background TO a row Of flow
erpots brilliant with geranium and sun
flower. In the center Is an old stone
fountain. throwing mp languid JET OF
water. which splashes lazily In the
basin with a sweet, dreamy sound.

jasper Briggs was a bachelor He
was also enc Of the most diiident men
you ever saw. and especially 20 in the
presence Of women. II was 20 this same
diiiidence that Jasper's bachelorhood
could be ascribed. Up TO the age Of 40
years he had never gone counting. He
had never even 80 much rs kept com
pany with one Of the opposite sex. He
Stunned the society Of women whenever
II was possible-not that he disliked

For few days the widow kept up TINS
game. Then. seeing that nothing was
likely 20 come Of II, she reversed her
conduct. She became testy and cross
with Jasper. She avoided him. had but
little 20 say 20 him and never smiled on
him. For the first time since she be-
came n widow she found fault with his
method Of doing things She became
heartlessly cruel in her criticisms Of
his ideas and actions
Poor Jasper was astonished. He did
not know enough Of woman's nature 20
understand her motive II never once
occurred TO him that she was trying TO
tease and fret him into declaring his
love He believed her in earnest and
with one drop he went from heaven 10

One day an old widower called on
Rose. He remained two or three hours.
and. though he did not say Just as
much. he gave her 90 understand that
the object Of his visit was matrimony.

him right In the beginning, but on sec

At the banquet of the State board of
trade Friday evening. at the Augusta
house. Hon. Henry Lord of Bangor,
pointed out the changes that had been
wrought in the past seven years. since
the last meeting of the board in Au-
gusta Following him. Hon. Herbert
NJ Heath said that should they meet
here seven years hence. he had not
the least doubt but they could review
some as great changes in the State as
in the past, and possibly greater. Mr..
Heath explained that he believed there
were few if any more trunk lines OF
railroad In store for Maine. though he
had no doubt but there would continue
as rapidly as ever the connecting links
He said the Washington County Rail-
road was really the last trunk line
that was needed in Maine. and now the
great need is of link lines. One of
those that he said he thought was soon
coming, is a road to connect the Cana
dian Pacific with winter port on the
coast Of Maine.

MANY favorable comments have been
heard during the winter and thus far,
this spring, regarding the Winthrop
street sidewalk that was built last
year. The drain along the inside
seems to be the chief cause of praise.
No water stands or runs upon the side
walk and it is at all times dry. there
fore it is safe to walk upon when
most of the other hill sidewalks are
treacherous. 1t has been suggested
that the Rines hill sidewalk would be
much better if it were fixed likewise.
II is no. known whether or not the
plan is feasible in that case.
