Now, my dear Ellsworth friends, I've few
words to say
On the poems of Mike Drummey and Holman
+. Day.
Although I'm no poet (of that there's no doubt.
For poets. as a rule, are the worst liars out,
A nd all of my friends, know, will agree
That meier In falsehood they ever caught mel
l will write few lines, just to uphold the name
OF an old Ellsworth handful that truly won
fame.
AS with no special hand tubs my sympathies
lie,
This poem, unlike others, will not be lie;
But from Ellsworth's cold people" these hard
facts CLEAN,
Who for years back all races 'twixt hand.tubs
have seen.
Instead of the engines of Drummey and Day.
There's a third, that to my mind, DER both them
holds sway;
The name of that engine is old Union Two.
Which, when In condition, defeat never knew.
Although of her structure my knowledge's not
good,
She was built to throw water, and throw it she
could
As in ali of her races great honors she won,
1t is no use to mention particular one;
But instead of Zimmerman, 1t seems plain to
me
That her very worst rival was old Dirigo Three,
Which, e'er to this day, with a good lusty crew.
Can points to Old Zimmerman show quite few.
A nd as 70 crews. why. the " orld never makes
Another such crew as manned Old Union

Jose Abreu is the first PHILIPPINE to
hold government Office in this coun-
try. He is employed as clerk in the
bureau of insular affairs of the war de-
partment. He has been an insurgent,
and as one of Aguinaldo's officers OPP
posed the American forces in the
Philippines. Now, however, he has
the confidence of the department.
Those who see him on the streets of
Washington as a small and slender
gentleman in American clothes, but
with an undeniable Oriental appear
ance, find it hard to reconcile his pres
ent looks and occupation with his
former known ability as an insurgent
leader and fighter. His father was
also an insurgent. but is now leader
of the federal party in the islands.
MIR. Abreu, the new clerk, is a linguist
of extraordinary ability, and a close
student of law. He will be of great
assistance TO the department on ac-
count of his familiar and intimate
knowledge of the islands and their
customs. At present he is working
on geographical gazetteer of the
Philippines, and his acquaintance with
the various provincial dialects is of
particular value.

The Boston Journal man who writes
"Chiefiy About People" said last Friday:

The Boston Journal man who writes
"Chiefy About People" said last Friday:
/ was greatly surprised recently when told by
Capt. Judson Torrey, of Deer Isle, Me-, that
more than 800 men from that delightful little
village are at present filing positions on
pleasure crafts along the coast.
'In my day we all had to go to sea to get a
living" said Capt. Torrey. "Now the con-
ditions are directly opposite. and our young
men get such good positions in the sumner that
the coasting business is of little interest here.
"Deer Isle sailors must he in great demand, -
/ remarked.
"They surely are. More and more of our
young men are wanted for yachting by New
York, Newport and Boston millionaires every
year, and 1t cannot be disputed that they are
the best sailors in the world. OF course you
remember that the entire crew of the cup de-
fender Columbia two years ago were Deer
Isle men, and that many Of our boys have
positions on the Independence Constitution
and Columbia this year"
Capt. Torrey himself has one OF the finest
records on the Maine coast as seaman, and
he is doubtless one of the most popular men on
the island and widely known.

The people are watching the con-

The people are watching the con-
stitutional convention of Virginia,
now being held in Richmond. The
republican orators have numerically
scored the democratic party, particu-
larly on its advocacy of no suffrage
for negroes. The democratic party is
now attempting to disfranehise the
negro by a clause in the constitution,
and already proposes to submit this
new state constitution for vote of
adoption by the people, excluding the
colored men from voting on docu-
ment that is aimed to deprive them
of the rights of citizenship.

Nature "makes all things beautiful In their
time. Every one of life's seasons, when life
moves on Natures lines, has It's own charm and
beauty. Many women dread that period when
they must experience change of life. They fear
that face and form may suffer by the change,
and that they may fail 70 please those whom
they love. The value of Doctor Pierce's fa-
yorte Prescription In this crisis of woman's life
lies in the fact that it assists Nature. Its use
preserves the balance and buoyancy Of the
mind and sustains the ply steal powers. Many
women have expressed their gratitude for the
help and comfort given by "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" In this trying period. Its benefits are not
passing but permanent, and conduce to mental
happiness as well as physical strength.

The only political topic that affords
any interest is what democratic state
conventions will repudiate Bryan and
the Kansas City platform. So far
there is quite unanimity in the direc-
ton, with just enough of a difference
of opinion to make an inherent weak
ness in the democratic ranks.

Brick red boys In purple kits,
Crimson leaves and pale green berries,

The story published in Boston papers
to the effect that Thomas w. Lawson will

tainly has the islands.

Ellsworth people realize that they have
had some pretty warm weather recently,
but no one supposed it was warm enough
to boil eggs. An Ellsworth merchant
who sold some eggs to a customer last
week was surprised to have four OF them
returned, hard boiled. Is it case of
somebody's picnic luncheon misplaced, or
has some honest farmer strayed from the
straight and narrow path?

A story of cowardly vandalism which
stirs the blood of men who believe in
above board dealing with both friends
and enemies, comes from East Sullivan.
Henry Ashley, OF that place, on going
into his orchard one morning last week,
found his entire orchard, thirty-six trees,
girdled. The man who did that bit of
work isn't tit to live in a civilized COM
munity.

The Gossiper has been talking about
some OF Hancock's old postmasters. q.
G. Long, the postmaster at East Bluehill,
does not claim to be in the race with the
old boys, but for sticking close to Uncle
Sans business we doubt il his record is
equaled by many Hancock postmasters.
Mr.. Long was appointed postmaster in
1890. In 1898 ne attended the meeting OF
the Grand lodge of Mssons in Portland.
With that exception and three days ILL.,
ness, he has not been absent from the
office one whole day during his term
of eleven years. The fact that he has
held the office through changes Of admin
istrstion tells the story of his efficiency.
