MRS. Green is q rapid talker. Words
seem to come to her as easily as dol

Lead your child through love TO laughter,
Sorrow soon enough comes after;
Soon enough will real ills find Il,
Let not false gloom blur or blind Il:
Life has much OF glee and gladness.
Smothering smiles in babes Is madness,
Rather let them laugh and love II
With Gods smiling skies above IT.:
Joyous juniors love TO caper.
Ills for them are thin as paper,
While the gladness and the glory
FIJI life to Its upper story;
Smiles for them are finely nlling,
Though some tears each may be splitting.
Let them laugh, the years are flying
TO where each shall know more crying,
Burdened with the cares and trials,
Suffsrings and self-denials
Which grow greater, stronger, holder,
AS their human slaves grow older.
Let the child laugh long and longer.
Let Its love of glee grow stronger,
Better Ii should turn from troubles,
Laugh at irridesccnt bubbles,
Than eclipse its sunny gladness
In the atmosphere of sadness,
All too ready TO bereave US,
And with ghosts Of gloom to leave US.
Let your juvenile be jolly,
Lead him far from melancholy,
Harmless joys jar roof and rafter,
Lead your child through love to laughter

A CHIVALRIc BIRD.
The Golden-Crowned Thrush Ar
ranges n Dainty Compartment
for His Mate.

Even the birds recognize woman's
rights-at least so an Audubonite lee
turer declared the other day in describ-
ing the habits of the golden-crowned
thrush, more familiarly known as the
oven-hird. The word "oven" merely re-
fers to the shape of the philosophers
nest, which usually is built on the
ground with dome-like roof. Even
the family name suggests fire, being
Furnariidae, says the Baltimore News.
But the way in which the nest is
built explains the birds answer to
eternal feminine" demands. A parti-
ton divides the "oven" into two COM
partments. The inside one is for the
lazy bird and has luxurious feather
bed. The outer room is the gentleman
birds boudoir, and its only furniture
is \ rough clay couch.
The head of the family has golden
crown-which he deserves, for he's a
gentleman and scholar--a regular
bird of bird, to fall into the slang of
the day-who might teach something
TO humanity masculine humanity.

FIRE Ar RIVERSIDE.
Large Barn Of Vim. A. Hall Burned 10 the
Ground-Loss. About $500.

Riverside, Me, Sept. 11-CSpeciaD.-
A large barn belonging to VIM A. Han
on the Sawtelle place, where he lives.
situated about II. miles above River
side post office. was burned to the
ground. about $40 z. NJ. Monday, to-
gether with about 80 tone Of hay.
When the fire was discovered it was
too late to make any attempt to save
anything about the barn. az ii was ALL
on fire inside, 50 the attention Of the
neighbors who soon gathered, was
turned towards saving the house
which was done.
Mr.. Hall had recently laid out quite
a sum in repairs on the barn aud an
there was no insurance. the loss falls
quite heavily on him. probably some
800 or $500. ]. r. Clark Of Sidney. had
his hay press stored in the barn. and
Of course that was burned. The cause
of the fire is unknown.

The surprise Of Mondays election.
aside from the unexpectedly large Re
publican majority in the State. was the
defeat in Cumberland county of Sheriff
DespeauX for reelection and the choice
by a substantial margin Of Rev. Samuel
Z. Pearson. the Prohibition party nom
inee. Though the Republican ticket
swept the county by a plurality Of 431S
several thousand Republicans scratched
Mr. Despeaux and voted for Mr.. Pear
son. The vote for Hill, the rest Of the
ticket, except sheriff, having about the
same. was 10 497, while Despeaux's vote
was only 1862. 1t was landslide. and
though all kinds Of predictions We're
made before election there were very
few who seriously believed that Mr.
Pearson was likely to be elected. 1t is
held that the result does not reflect
upon Mr.. Despeaux personally, since
he is an estimable and popular gentle
man. The Press says: "Mr. Despeaux
happened to be the sheriff when the
people concluded that they wanted a
policy which they had previously en-
dorsed. or at any rate had seemed u
endorse, radically changed, and it is

GZEMA S
ITCH IS TORTUPE,

Eczema is caused by an acid hulnor in
the blood coming in contact with the
SKIN and producing great redness and in
Illumination little pustular eruptions form
and discharge thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is a tornenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbcarable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.

Some Questions Tor "sn,is" TO Answer

Some Questions Tor '.Antis" to Answer.
The complication that has actually
resulted is proof enough that tha
United States should have avoided
taking possession Of Spanish territory
in the Far East. The only necessity
for sending Dewey to Manila was the
chance that the fleet which he destroy
ed might attack American commerce.
1t was not necessary to take Manila
in order to bring Spain to terms. And
even after Manila was taken it was
MT necessary to extend American jur-
| isdiction over the rest Of the Island Of
| I.uzon and over the rest Of the archi-
! pelag0.-Lewiston sun.
The sun publishes the above in com
ment upon that part Of the Pres
idcnt's letter Of acceptance dealing
with the Philippines, but from its tone
one can scarcely believe that the
writer read the whole Of the letter.
Certain it is that in this connection he
does not undertake to answer the
| question asked by the President. Mr.
| Bryan and his admirers talk glbly
about "mlitarism." consent Of the
governed" liberty Of the Filipinos"
and the Tagalog George Washing

McKinley's letter raises definite Ques-

which the President gives show beyond
doubt our absolute good faith III
dealing with the TagaIogs and their
absolute bad faith in dealing with US.

or Manila was taken they had assum-
