Lewiston journal, to the ability of Mr..
Orcutt of North Monmouth as "a spirited
writer of advertisements. Mr.. circuit
has rival in Belfast in the person of Mr..
Coombs. Mr.. Orcutt is more of lyricist
in his style than Mr.. Coombs. Mr.. Or

Mr.. Coombs deals rather more with the

work. Here is a little sample that you
may take with you. He entities it ''The

as follows
"Tennyson could take worthless sheet
of paper, write poem Oh it, and make it
worth S65 900 That's genius. Wander

afraid of any difficulty in life, which
comes only from the all around training
OF the boy, has been his ability to cope
with life's problems.
Our city has no such opportunity for its
youth, as anyone can see by moment S
casting about among our social conditions.
Few fathers have the leisure or ability to
direct the hand training of their boys, and
few mothers in our complex life find time
to direct the domestic training of their
daughters.
In many homes there. is a domestic in
the kitchen who will not tolerate the med
ding of the children, much less under
take their instruction. Modern life fills
the time of men, women and children to an
extraordinary degree, anu where the time
for parent to teach their children the skill
full use of their hands is to come from
has puzzled the socologists of every city
in the country.
Most cities have solved the problem by
giving the matter formal place in the
school curriculum an it is a certain fact
that unless it comes there we shall have
an increasing number of young men who
are helpless and young women who are
Inefficient
Portland, Lewiston, Saco, Westbrook
and several towns in our State have ln
troduced this kind of education and if we
look out into the other States of the Union
we shall be amazed at our own tardy ar
rival at the point where it is a necessity
and not luxury and not "fad.'
The manual training question has been
solved in most parts of the United States
for 20 years and there is no record of any
city having dropped it out of the curri-
culum except temporarily in one or two
instances under wave of economy where
certain politicians attempted the economy
and begun on the children. Offended
public sentiment has in all cases re estab

The chairman of the Democratic Ma

the cotton growers of the South. The
last Democratic nominee for governor OF
Ohio, and an eminent figure in the coun

80 Let Me Co."
BY ANNA SARGENT HUNT.

In memory of Mrs. F. II. Beale.
At morn we watched for tidings from our
friend,
For darkness doth such dread forebodings
send,
At midday questioned how the stuff 'rer Jared
And deemed ourselves for any news pre-
pared
Then, as the twilight shadows fell apace
Each sought to read some word in others
And so the weeks wore op, and Hope and
Fear
Alternate held their sway, while she so dear
To many hearts, upon the threshold stood
Between the worlds, nor dreamed that she
could
So easily release the clinging hands
And smile amid life's quickly sinking
sands.
Why felt she not the shock of earth's
alarms?
How could she, when those Everlasting
arms"
OF which she spoke, we're pressing close the
child
Who needed shelter from the tempests
wild?
Alb, Death itself hath not the power to chill
The love and faith of one who trusteth still.
And. bending low to catch the whispered
word,
1 uo HcSSdR6 CdLut, do SOHc ILL pIISOuou DlIu
Might say, while longing quick to wing its
way
From out the hand of one who babe it
stay
ooh, let me go, nor longer seek to hold
Me back from entering the joys untold"
Not less she loved the friends who watched
in vain
The pulsing tides of life to flow again,
but more the home where they and she
should meet,
And in the glad reunion one day greet
Those parted long, and Him, than all more
How dawned the blessed vision bright and
clear
"Oh, let me go!'-it Is lot meet that we
W no, burden bearers of the hour must be
Should shrink from doing we'll our part to-
day,
And doing, scatter sunshine as we may;
But when we hear at last the Masters cali
No dread of i'll upon our hearts will fall,
For clear above lifes tumult sounds the
voice
That bids the trusting soul for ave rejoice
And, looking up INTO our Saviour's face
Assurs because OF His redeenlng grace,
We then say, ION, let me GO" nor fear
To tread the vale of DEATH while HI is near,

Mt. Desert Correspondence.

SoUTh WEST HARBoR, April ,, 1900. The
Norwood Cove, occupied by his son, Lemutl
Lurvey was BURIED to the ground about 50
o'clocl Saturday evening The fire was
caused by the burning out of the chimney
during the forenoon, the sparks working cut
through the chimney and ignitng the wood
work between the floors in the chambers,
where it was smouldering during the day
unnoticed by Mr. Lurvey, although he re
NAMED at home during the day watching
the house in case there might be any fire.
At dark he went to a spring some distance
away for water and on returning saw flames
and smoke bursting out from one of the
chambers. Mr. Lurvey's first thought was
to save his money, which was slowed
away in one of the rooms and consisted of
800 in gold and 500 paper money, but
on opening the door the flames and smoke
burst forth and drove him back. He
then seized pail and rushed down cellar to
a spring there, thinking that he might part
ly subdue the smoke and flames so as to
secure the money. But the smoke was so
dense and dark he lost his way and was
nearly overcome by the smoke. He finally
got out, but was considerably burned about
the face. The flames had gained such head
way that he was unable to enter the house
again and everything was consumed, in
Guiding three months provision he had put
in that day. The next morning search was
begun for the gold and a few ter-dollar
pieces We're found, but were 50 blackened or
broken that one would hardly know that it
was gold. Some silver and coppers were
also taken out There was no insurance on
the house.

The Puerto Rican question rests be-
the interests of the island alone. The
other is fundamental and affects the whole
country now and hereafter. In the latter
case-the constitutional power to levy
duties on Puerto Rlcrn products-any de-
parture from the right principle can not
be rectifed. Not single step, once taken,
can be retraced. After the debate in the
House the necessity for an Interpretation
of the Constitution is paramount. The

mended ~ the President, has yielded only
temporarily to the more important prin-
ciple thattfIects the Constitution.

COP KNowETH BEST.
Sometime when all lfe's lessons have been
learned
And sun and stars forevermore have set.
The things which our weak judgment here
had spnrned,
The things Ger which we grieved with Iashes wet,
Will fash before US out of lite's dark night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints of blue;
And shall how all Gods plans were
right
And how WI at seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we. shall see how while we frown and sigh,
Coos plans 20 best for you and me:
How, when called, he Needed not our cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could see,
And even prudent parents dlsaltW
Too much OF sweet 70 craving pabyhood
So God. perhaps, is keeping from now,
LIES sweetest things because it seeneth good.
Andif sometimes, comming!ed withlite's wine,
We find the wofmwood, and rebel and shrink,
he sure wiser hand than yours or mine
rours out this portion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend We love is lying low,
here human kisses cannot reach his face,
On, do NOT blame the loving Father so,
Bur your sorrow with obedient grace!
And You Shall shortly know that heightened
Is not tie sweetest sift God sends his friend,
And that. sometimes, the sable pail of death
Conceals the fairest boon his love can send.

confirm or deny sths statement Of his
national chairman, but there is every
reason to believe that the statements
attributed to Chairman Jones distinctly
foreshadow that Fart Of Mr.. Bryan's
foreign policy in the event Of his cleo.
ton as president.
The blighting effect of such a policy
needs hardly to be pointed out. 1t
would disgrace the United States in the
eyes Of all the civilized nations of the
world, for it would put this nation in
the attitude Of deserving a post Of duty
at u time and in q way that would re-
feet selfshness, ingratitude, and in.
ability to discharge the high obligations
imposed by enlightened civilization.
Such O policy would place the United
States in the role Of coward and would
hold this nation up to the scorn, con.
tempt and humiliation of the world in
general.
All the world knows. and the people
of the United States know, though
Bryan and his advisers may not think
so, that insurrection, not war, prevails
in the Philippines. Rowing bands of
bandits and savages, not armies, are
going about the islands p~erpetrating
murder, robbery and other high crimes.
The world at large is holding the I'm
pire Of China to blame for the cruel
murders and outrages perpetrated by
the BOXERS"
The United States holds the same pc.
sition to the people of the Philippine
islands, so far as maintaining law and
order Is concerned, as the government
of China to its people, and the murder
Gus Boxers of China are to the law.abid-
ing people of China what Aguinald0
and his followers are to the law.abid.
ing, peaceful populace of the Philippines.
The people of the Philippines may be
capable Of self government. but cOntin'
nous strife and warfare have impover-
ished these people, the islands are
preyed upon by rowing bands of savages,
and it is beyond the ability Of these PEG
pie, without the aid Of the United
States, to restore domestic tranquility
or form a government of their own
The treaty of Paris, voted for by Sena
tor Allen Of Nebraska and advocated a
that time by Bryan, placed the Philip
pines under control Of the United Slater
and the United States is morally bound
to establish peace and domestic tranquil
lily in these islands at the earliest pos
sible moment. To call the troops home
while the people Of the islands are still
being terrorized and shocked by thu
wholesale commission Of ~atrociouI
crimes would be to commit u Grim,
against humanity and n that woult
forever remain q stigma on American
citizenship and patriotism.
Apart from the commercial import
nee of retaining the Philippines it ii
the highest duty of the United State
to prosecute conquest until insurrec
ton, robbery and discord shall be sup
pressed and the safety Of the lives ant
property of the law-abiding people o
the islands established.
