The Origin Of a Famous Sonq.

1t has. always been known that the
famous rebel war song Dixie was of
northern origin. and now comes a cor
respondent of the Boston Transcript
to prove that Maryland. My Mary
land" is also n product of Yankeedoin.
in fact. the result of Maine genius and
patrioti@m. He says thai it is Il
parody on song composed in 1889 dur
ing the famous Madawaska war in this
State. when the British soldiers IN
vaded our borders and captured
Names land agent and held him a
prisoner in st. John, N. B. The State
called for troops to repel the invasion.
The famous though bloodiess Aroos-
took war followed, and the Transcript
writer claims that the song on which
Maryland, My Maryland" is based
was then composed, the refrain being
Maine, dear Maine" and many of the
lines being the same as in the later
and more famous production. He
quotes from memory several stanzas
of the original song. as follows:
The despots' heel is on thy shore.
Maine, dear Maine.
His torch is at my temple door.
Maine, dear Maine.
Avenge the patriotic gore
That stained your land in days of yore.
And be thy hattle-cry once more,
Maine, dear Maine, my own dear Maine.
7 ;ct IN yo,,r cnuptrv'S lp1ld appeal
Maine. dear Maine.
Our dear old State. to thee we kneel.
Name. dear Maine.
For life or death, for woe or veal,
Thy peerless valor shall reveal,
And grid thy forest grounds with steel
Maine, dear Maine, my own dear Maine
Thou will not cover in the dust.
Maine, dear Maine.
Thy burnisned arms shall never rust,
Maine, dear Maine.
Remember PhippS. the br;tve, the first,
Remember Church's warli Ike thrust,
And other slumberers with the dust,
Maine, dear Maine, my own dear Maine.
Thou wilt not yield an inch of soil,
Maine, dear Maine.
Thou wilt not crouch to English spoil,
Maine, dear Maine.
Better by far our daily coil.
Better the shot, the blade. the foil.
Than live in Briton's dea thly thrall,
Maine, dear Maine, my own dear Maine.
Unless the writer in the Transcript
has an Imagination of limitless posi-
bilities, he has added, or rather recov
cred. an interesting chapter in the
literature of our national songs. 1t
seems strange, though, that such a
stirring old Maine song has been so
completely forgotten in the land of its
birth. or that it should be entirely ig-
nored in the commonly accepted
stories of the writing of Maryland.
My Maryland" at the outbreak of the
war by a fiery young Southerner.
There may be more to be told on this
interesting subject.

Holland and Portugal.

Those pigmy Kingdoms. Holland ana
Portugal. continue to hurl warlike
glances over the wide space which
separates them. but it is not likely
that anything more deadly will be
exchanged. England's influence on the
side of Portugal is enough to cool the
war fever in Wihelmina's young
blood. We're there no other considera-
tions to preserve peace. But the
powers of Europe would allow no war
between these small nations. Such a
war would inevitably draw in all
CT Europe. and the opening of the goth
century would see the blood soaked
soil of that continent stained anew
with crimson.
But the renewal of their severed
diplomatic relations does not mean
that Holland and Portugal will love
each other. The present quarrel is the
result of trouble that began. two cen
turieS ago, when the Dutch took
possession of territory claimed by
Portugal in South Africa and drove
out Portuguese settlers there Portu-
gal even now claims much territory
that has long been in other hands and
the King of Portugal still styles him
self Lord of Guinea by conquest. Lord
| of the Navigation and Commerce of
Ethiopia, Arabia, Persia and the
Indies. King of both sides of the Afri-
can Sea" Though small in them
selves, Portugal being little smaller
than Maine and Holland only one
| third as large, both these countries
have rich and important colonial
possessions in various parts of the
| world which would make a sphere of {;
| war between them cover about all of
| the earth's surface.

COLBY STORIES"
A New Maine Book Tha. Por.rays College Life.

The book of Colby stories which the
men and women of that college have
been awaiting with pleasant anticipa-
ton has at last appeared and we are
confident that their highest expecta- :
tions are realized. Herbert c. Libby.
the Colby junior TO whose enterprise
and college loyalty this book is due.
has done work of which his college
should be proud, and hearty congratu-
Iations are due him. The volume is a
tasty little affair of 23S pages, prettily
bound in the college colors Of silver
gray and dark blue. with the old
willows that line the bank Of the
Kennebec behind the college appear
ing in the cover design.
The contents are divided into three
parts the first including IL stories OF
Colby life most of which seem to be
founded on fact; the second. a dozen
short anecdotes and "reminiscences b.
various alumni: and the third. some
tales Of Ben Buffers college days at
Waterville. which. though familiar.
are coed enough to be told again and
to be perpetuated in this form. The
contributors to the volume include
Ut. W imam MIL AtItNS, %, Jd'pb
Bartlett Shaw. GO; W. s. knowlton.
"a: Il. W. Dunn. '6S; J. II. Files, -:
Prof. H. +. koopman. so. Holman F.

Abram Wyman 80: Prof. Adelbert F.
Caldwell, 81: Henry w. Dunn. 90: w.
o. Stevens. %: Q. l.. Hall, 80; A. L.
Goodwin, '02: and Mr.. Libby the
editor. This list of contributors is
given in the editors acknowledge
ments and their portraits form the
frontispiece. otherwise it would not be
known who had n hand in the making
of the book as no names appear with
the contributions. Still the discern
ing reader will quickly recognize Hol-
man F. Day as the author Of the first
story in the book. and several others
bear equally unmistakable internal
evidence of their authorship. Perhaps
Glass Spirit" is the best college
story of the lot.
The drawings ,bY Mr.. Chase. the
New York artist. are diSappoint-
ment and we do not feel that they add
anything to the book. The excellent
half-tore Of sam" at last chapel
will be dear to ali Colby hearts. The
quaint old group OF the Colby boys Of
the fifties ought to have had the
names under it, 1t is to be regretted
that a few pages Of advertising mat
ter were inserted It the end of the
book but this is small matter and
detracts little from the general eX-
cellence of this unique and interest
ing volume.
The literary alumni Of the college
are well represented among the con-
tributors. but where are the alumnae?
Considering the important part played
by the young ladies' in the college life,
and the fact that some of the alumnae
possess literary ability of no mean
degree. we cannot help wishing that
few stories from their pens were in
cluded in the volume. Perhaps they
are planning to get out book Of their
own to rival Mr.. Libby in the field
where he has succeeded so well.

President Mckinley in naming the
four American members of the per-
manent international court of arbtra-
ton has set the standard high. They
are Harrison Fuller. Griggs, Gray, eX-
President. chief justice, attorney-gen-
eral. ex-senator and judge. The Eng
lsh members of the permanent court
are another big four. Lord Paunce-
fote was lawyer and judge in his pre-
ambassadorial days. Sir Edward
Maiet is an eX-ambassador; Sir Ed
ward Fry is an eX-judge a scholar
of distinction. and a Quaker; Dr. John
Westake is professor of international
law in the University of Cambridge.
1t will be hard for the other govern
ments to match these lists but it is
hoped that they will do their best and
that the great tribunal which will re-
suit will not remain idle and unem-
ployed. but be an active and powerful
force for peace through the coming
wears.

The 'sanitarium-sanato dis
cussion has been taken up pretty gem
orally by the Maine papers and they
seem agreed that the Journal and Dr.
Young have all the necessary evidence
to show that 'sanatorium' is the
proper form to be used in speaking of
the institution which it is hoped will
be established in this State. However,
as the Biddeford Journal remarks.
there is no law to compel anyone to
use this word if he likes 'sanitarium"
better kMeantime, the discussion has
brought into gteater prominence the
good work which DIR. Young is doing,
and has giveh' the proposed institution
q deserved boom.

Brewer is to be congratulated upon
the suppression of its boxing exhibi

demoralizing affairs. which are toier-
