COUSIN GERTRUDE'S YOUNG
MAN

Perhaps you don't remember, Jonathan,
when your cousin, my Gertrude, used to
have calls from dandy young man. He
sometimes sent her fine roses by his little
brother from the village. I got suspi-
cious Of that young man, Jonathan, and
by and by he stopped all at once coming
to see Gertrude. You want to know
why, Jonathan? Because one day he
was driving by, down the road, and + said
very kindly and sociable like to him:
MY young friend, 1 guess you needn't
trouble to bring or send any more roses
to Gertrude because she says she likes
'em fresher than when you send EN-
she has permission to help herself"
You see, watch that young man when
he goes home late one early morning, and
l saw him steal my roses on the way out
of the front lot, and in the evening next
following he sent 'cm to Gertrude. II
he only keeps the roses for his partikler
friends in the village IL wouldn't 30 much
matter; but when he steals them to make
himself solid with my little Gertrude, he
reminds me of Bryan quoting from Abe
Lincoln's speeches to try to make the peo-
pie think how much his party loves the
people-when all the time before, the
Democrats had no use for Mr.. Lincoln.
Lincoln was great Republican, whom
to love Is fashionable, even with Demo-
Gratis now. But when their great man,
Mr.. Bryan, offers Republican voters
roses ont Of Lincoln's garden they nat
urally feel like Gertrude-they like 'em
fresher, and they have permission to help
themselves.

Gold supply Nearly Doubled.

Mr.. Bryan said In 1906, 1--WE want the
free coinage Of silver because there Is
not enough gold in the country to run
the finances" When he said this the
amount Of gold In circulation was S40S.-
440,242. Since then the amount of gold
in the country has increaserd to $751;
063, 155 In May, 1900. and Is almost dou-
bled. Is this enough" for Mr.. Bryan,
or has free silver somo peculiar super
natural power over human aaffirs, that
Mr.. Bryan still insists on the 42-cent
dollar? A cloud with q silver lining"
still befogs his brain.

"Militarism," imperialism" are terms
used by newspapers, politicians and plat
forms TO scare the people and catch
votes. They are weapons-utterly
groundless ones Of the most demagogic
import-used to stir the people which no
well-balanced statesman or newspaper
will use. There is no more danger Of
either condition in this great intelligent

All the incidents Of the past prove that
the army will never have the disposition

they are held by the army. and were

as much the rule among the people as
they are in the army, which has given too
many proofs OF .heroism, of integrity, Of
devotion to the country, to be regarded
as a source Of danger. On the contrary,
he who understands its history must re-
gard it with pride and satisfaction as one
OF the chief ornaments of the nation, as
a school wherein are taught and prac-

obedience and patriotism, and as an in

It is claimed by La Paloma's crew
that when OF Diamond Head the Dew
ey found the Dunreggan's current,
which was setting OF shore, and this
helped her along. La Paloma, sus-
pecting some such trick on the part
of the skipper Of the Dewey, had pro-
vided himself with copy Of the Dun
reggan's chart so that he could make
q short cut over Diamond Head, but
the current was more to the advantage
OF the Dewey than the chart was to La
Paloma. The talk Of the earthquake
experienced by La Paloma is taken
with grain Of salt by the crew Of the
Dewey. They do not believe that there
vas any earthquake.
They believe that the story OF the
calm is true, because Captain Hebron
went forward to see II he could not see

BURNHAM. John Frost of Waterville, an
employe of the Maine Central. made a husi.
ness trip over the Belfast branch, Monday,
from this village to Belfast, and reports that
he never saw the water so deep over and
beside the track, as it was during the trip.
He says in many places it was impossible to
see the rails on account of the depth of the
water, and it seemed as though the train
was travelling through river nearly all the
way In many places on the. branch the
rails are laid on low land and during the
wet season the track is overflowed with
water in many places.
