Accidents in the Maine Woods.

The return of each hunting season
brings its series of shooting accidents
in the Maine woods. Each year there
are few fatalities. many accidents
and many more narrow escapes of
which the outside world seldom hears
ers. the unfamiliar-ty of the average
man with firearms. and the excitement
of the chase for big game, some OF
these accidents are as inevitable as
they are depIorable. But there is one
species of accident Of which the ont
side world is very tired IF hearing.

tfveness 1t has been offered 50 many
times and so many warnings have
been given against such criminal care
lessness. that the man who now fires
at anything which moves in the
bushes. without first making sure il
is not a human being. deserves harsher
punishment than the pangs of con-
science can possibly bring him.
The accidental discharge Of rife by
which Il hunter or guide is killed or in
jured is quite another thing. Accidents
are accidents. and while there IL no ex-
cuse for failing to exercise ordinary
care. it is impossible to enjoy a COM
plete immunity from shooting acct
dents in the hunting season. But there
is little Of the accidental element in
shooting a man because he was mis-
taken for a deer" The man who raises
his rifle and fires. with aim deliberate

in the bushes places his exultation at
the possibility of bringing down q deer
above his value Of human life 1t is
worse than carelessness, and each sue
ceeding fatality of this nature makes
stronger the demand that the law be
invoked to punish such hunters. If the
existing laws regarding manslaughter
are not sufficient. il would not he diff
cult to pass a law to cover such cases.
If one or two examples We're made, it
is probable that sportsmen would
make sure they Were killing deer in
stead Of men. In this connection the
Bangor Commercial says: The acct

by a reckless hunter seems to call for
the indictment Of the author of the
tragedy and his conviction ana sen

should realize that some punishment

may come over them for a time. were

away regardless Of the safety Of

John Sherman.

Half a century in public life had
familiar in every American household.
and had made it respected throughout
the world His death was not unex-
pected as his health has been steadily
failing for years. John Sherman was
worthy scion of a noble family; he
will be remembered as one of the few
great constructive statesmen of this
century; no man now living has en-
joyed such 4 long and distinguished
career. Yet his life had its bitter dis
appointments as have all great lives.
Several times the presidency was al
most within his grasp. and it was
never questioned that he had the
ability, the integrity and the force for
this high office. but the prize was
never 10 be his. But faithful though
ne ever was in the service Of his party
and his country. and though he was
everywhere honored and respected,
popular man. BY the power of his re-
markable capacity he was a mighty
influence in congresses and cabinets.
but he had not the personal magnetism
which draws the devotion of men. If
one brilliant achievement above
another in his notable career is to be
mentioned it is the resumption of
specie payments He was the master
theorist Of finance Of his times. His
name and deeds will not pass away.

Uncle Scion gives some good advice
to Maine farmers in the last Sunday
Herald: Good apples will grow every
year where the orchard Is well cared
for. Work in the orchard can be done
in seasons of the year when other work
doesn't press. and with proper atten-
ton the apple crop is as sure as the
sweet corn crop. Apple trees can be
kept free from insect pests by judi
cious spraying and picking up the
Windfalls. We cannot expect famine
prices. but we can expect reasonable
prices for good apples. within the reach
Of the man with the pick as we'll as on
the board of the coal king. There is
SO much poor fruit put on the market
that it hurts the price Of good fruit.
and apple buyers don't make the dis
tinction between good and poor lots
that they ought. If farmers deal di-
rect with commission merchants Of
Boston. Liverpool and Hamburg, and
ship good apples, pressed into the bar
rel so they will not become slack. the
credit Of sending good apples comes
u the farmer. If they sell to apple
buyers. the farmer is not known 10 the
