paign is having upon Aguinaldo and
the Philippine instruction:

Conditions were improving here very rap
Idly up to the time Bryan was nominated and
began to talk in public. The result of the an
nouncement of his policy In regard to the Phil
ippines was to put a stop to the important sur
renders which were steadily being made under
the terms of the amnesty and bring about re-
newed hostilities through the worst districts
here In Luzon.
"We know absolutely from captured CORE
spondence that this desperate effort to keep up
a show of resistance is being made only in the
hope of influencing thu election at home, and
important insurgent leaders, like San Dico, say
that unless Bryan is elected or the war in China
draws troops from these islands they will give
up their useless efforts in November. I there
fore do not look for any general Improvement
in the situation until after the presidential cleo
ton, but with that out of the way expect to
see speedy change for the better"

against the prestige enjoyed by Deer Isle

ttse themselves. There Is no doubt In the
world that other coast towns of Maine do have
unknown quantities of just as good raw mate
rial but there is probably no other town IN the
world where SO large proportion OF the young
men have been especially trained up to efficient
yachting service There is one mistake that Is
quite commonly made. and that Is tina, our
yachtsmen were ever fishermen of any kind.
While fishermen are all right, aud good ma
teriaI-and ii is an easy and natural step from
that work TO yachting-yet the fact Is we have
had no fishing business to speak of for more

George L. Page, the Bucksport fox
hunter, has returned from Moosehead
region with thirty pelts. His arrival In
Bangor Saturday was the occasion for
some heavy lying, according to the Ban
gor Ne,rs. This is the story OF how Page
caught the foxes, as told by a waggist
trainman to an inquisitive traveller:
'How'd he catch 'eml How do you 'spose
he caught 'em? He run 'em down, of course
You see he just nosed round I'LL he found a
fox track, and then followed 1t long Till he
came to place where 1t 'peared likely that the
animal loafed lot and then he sat down an
waited. Bimby the fox would show up, and
then he'd make after the animal. As you can
see, the hunter Is pretty decent sort of a
sprinter, an he'd soon run him down. TIL rest
was easy After catching them he tied the ami.
mails together and hung them over the limb of a
tree. Course, he didn't catch all of 'em thar he
went after. but he got 'nough of 'em to make
good. and SO he's satisfied. You'd be- too II
you'd make what he has in the past two weeks
The skins are probably worth $500"

EASY STREET.

oh. what is the way to Easy Street
which turning shall / go?
For many a day I've Sought the way
that no one seems to know
How do you turn do you keep straight
on, and get there Just by pluck.
Or is it the case that you find the place
by chance and happy luck?
Some say this and some say that, for
every one | meet,
Going it blind or searching to find, is
looking for Easy Street.
Easy Street! Easy Street! The street so
hard TO find!
No sign boards show the route to go save
the ways that lie behind.
But Fortunes smile is worth the while,
so never know defeat,
When the very next turn for you may
earn the way to Easy Street.
From little Queer, Street through Hard
Times Court to\the Highway of Sue
cess,
Is the nearest way. I've heard some say,
and II is true, / guess.
So through Poverty Place my way l trace
with Queer Street left behind)
But in Hard Times Court the, ways cut
short-t ends in an alley blind.
In the Lane of Chance I sometimes
glance, but the risk seems all 10
great,
To turn and stray down It's winding way
and blindly follow fate.
So, with courage high, ! strive and try,
seeking with weary feet
My way to grope, nCrved still with nope
the way to Easy Street!
Easy Street! Easy Street! Where happy
mortals dwell,
Out of the strike of work-day life and
the battles of buy and sell.
Wearing good clothes. having no foes,
with life's good thinss replete.
Oh, happy fate! to dwell in state, at last,
on Easy Street!
We will all of us live on Easy street
when things have gone our way,
| When fortune and fame shall attend our
name and leisure comes to stay,
| Through the deed achieved we've had in
our minds the long last year or two;
| Giving us zest to finish the rest of the
| things -gonig-to. do.
With the toll of these struggling days
forgot, and our happiness all COM
| plete
| No trouble or care will bother us there
when we live on Easy Street!
| Easy Street! Easy Street Where the
skies are always blue,
And all of the schemes of our wcll-lol ed
| dreams are ever coming true
| Wen live at our ease and do as We please
and find that life is sweet
| When through toll and pain at last We
gain our way to Easy Street!

another of his remarkable visions in
regard to Lackawanna county politics;
and in the course of it pays lot Of

Honorable Nathaniel Mackey. Of
Waverly, candidate for denomination
in the Third Legislative district.
Colonel Mccain fills the greater part

tell how, when a candidate for similar
honors four years ago, the said
Nathaniel was basely caught in the
act of accepting money from an agent
of the truly good men who We're at that
time purifying Pennsylvania politics;
and he passes all too lightly over the
early chapter of Nathanel's last ses-
sion at Harrisburg, when, from hav-
ing been furious opponent of Quay
he suddenly entered the caucus and
supported the caucus nominee until the
other fellows again persuaded him to
add himself to the constellation of re-
form.
There is no doubt that Nathaniel is
bright and shining gem in the diadem
of political publication. But it seems
likely that the voters of his district
tomorrow will nevertheless decide TO
keep him at home.
