KIPLING'S VESSELS.


The Fishermen He Tells of In Soap
tain Courageous" were Real.
81 don't know anything about the
Mister kipperlin' you speak of, but We
can't tell me nothin' about the We're
Here"
That is what Capt. Freeman T. Bridges,
of East Bueksport says, and as he sailed
the old craft made famous by Rudyard
kipliDg in Captains Courageous, he
ought to know. Though In the story the
"We're Here" posed as a Gloucester craft,
(and she may have sailed out OF Glouces-
ter at some time in her career) for years
she sailed from Bootbbsy, and at least
three of her former shippers are living
and have vivid recollection of her.
'.rhe We're Here was as able vessel
as ever set foot on, said Capt. Bridges
''She would carry you to the Banks and
bring you back safe and sound. She has
weathered many a gale which has sent
able craft to the bottom. | sailed her for
five years, and know what l am talking
about. One year a terrible storm swept
everything of the Banks but the We're
Here, and she rode out the gale like a
duck.
"Another time we were the only craft OF
a fleet OF twenty sail which held on al
blow round the Virgin rocks. She was
duck, that she was, but she was kind o.
homoiy".
The schooner "Carry Pitmsn," whose
propensity for getting adrift under vari-
Gus circumstances made her, in the story,
the butt of Grand Banks contingent, was
a Maine craft during the most of her ex-
istence, and for years led the Bucksport
fleet with first fare home. Ste still holds
the record of the largest fare Tor her tom
mage ever brought into that port, coming
in one fall with the water actually flowing
into her scuppers.
She was built at Davenport, Mass, one
year later than the "We're Here" She
died a natural death, and her bones can
be seen at Deer Isle.
"The Prince LeBoo,' Chat ham boat ;"
which appeared on the Banks in the story,
is still sfioat and in active service as
coaster between Bangor ana Boston, prob
ably the only craft bearing one OF the
story book names. Sue is in good condi-
ton considering her years, and is making
money for the Yankee shippers. She has
not been to the Grand Banks for twenty
years or more, being too small fisherman
to go these days.
The liking Philip" "Henry Clay"
Ezra Fiodo," "Marilla d. Kuhn" "Cas-
par McVeig," ''Lucy Holiness" "Jennie
Cushman" and parry Norman" were all
actual craft, but most, il not all of them,
are dead" long ago.

rennrson,s Woman.

The woman's cause is mans; they rise or Sick
Together, dwarf'd or God-like, bond or free;
For she that out of Lcthe scales with man
The shining step OF nature shares with man
His nights, his days, moves with him to one
goal.
Woman Is not undeveloped man,
But diverse; could we make her as the man,
Sweet leve were slain; his dearest bond Is this,
Not like to like, but like in difference;
Yet In the long years liker must they grow,
The man be more of woman, she of man.
He gain in sweetness and in moral height
Nor lose the wrestling thews that throw the
world;
She mental breadth, nor fail In childward care,
Nor lose the childlike in the larger mind.
TIL at last she set herself to man
Like perfect music unto noble words.
And so these twain upon the skirts of time,
Sit side by side full summed in all their powers,
Dispensing harvest sewing the to be.
Self reverent each and reyerencing each.
Distinct in Municipalities,
But like each other even as those who love.
Then comes the statelier Eden back to men;
Then reign the worlds great bridals, chaste and
calm;
Then springs the browning grace of humankind
--Tennyson.

GOLDEN WEDDING.
Capt. and Mrs. Thomas Tapley, of
West BrooksviIIe.

West BrooksviiIe.
WEST BROWNSVILLE, Aug. q Especially
Capt. and Mrs. Thomas Tapley ceIe-
brsted the fiftieth anniversary OF their
marriage at their home here Saturday.
Capt. Tapley is one OF the surviving eight
"Tapley boys', an account of whom
was given in the newspapers in 1898
under the head OF Remarkable Maine
Family, the average ages of the eight
being more than seventy years at that
time.
Captain and Mrs. Tapley appeared as
young as many couple at forty, and were
made happy by having their entire family
at home. There was o. l.. Tapley and
wife. of West Brooksvilie; Capt. Ira w.
Tspley, wife and two daughters, of New
York; Lucy II. Tapiey, OF Atlanta, Ga. !;
Mrs. F. II. Smith, husband, son and
daughter, OF Sedgwick; o. w. Tapley,
wife and two sons, of Ellsworth; DIR. T..
s. Tapley, OF Auburn, and DR.. E. d.
Tapley, of fremont. When the nineteen
were seated at the table for dinner it was
a very happy gathering, and the first time
In eleven years that all the children had
been at the homestead at the same time.
A reception was held from to 6 in the
afternoon, and Captain and Mrs. Tapley
received their friends with the grace and
ease OF couple Of twenty years. Capt.
Tapiey wore the same white vest he was
married in, and it looked as good as new,
although 1t has been worn by him many
times in all parts of the world. Mrs. Tap
ley carried bouquet of fifty white sweet
peas tied with white ribbon.
The house was beautifully decorated
with an abundance OF sweet peas and cut
flowers. Refreshments were served.
Among those from out OF town were
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Bsbson, Washington,
d. CT Mrs. Darius Eddy, Saginaw, Mich. !;
Mrs. Nancy Carleton, Plymouth, Mass. !;
Mrs. III. b. Emery, Bangor; Prot. and
Mrs. g. I. knight, Tufts college; Rev. t.
w. Ilman, Wakefield, Mass; Miss Nc
Entee, Wilmington, Dell; Mr.. and Mrs.
j. F. Royal, Ellsworth.
Capt. and Mrs. Tapley were the recipi-
ents of many beautiful and substantial
presents which are appreciated by them
as measuring the love and friendship of
their family and friends. That they may
continue to enjoy their good health and
live to celebrate their diamond wedding,
is the wish of all their friends.

counties instead of by towns as at
presently
This question was suggested by Hon.
o. F. Fellows, of Bucksport, who is
prominently mentioned in connection
with the speakership of the next
house of representatives. He alluded
to the subject casually on the train in
conversation with the Penobscot COM
missioners with the result that it was
brought up for consideration and
proved the most fruitful theme of dis
cussion of the entire session. While
the question was up, Mr.. Fellows hap
pened into the hall for moment, and
was called upon to state his views
upon it which he did very clearly and
forcefully.
This plan of caring for the poor has
long been in practice in the neighbor-
ing state of New Hampshire. The
principal argument in its favor is that
of economy. Instead of each town
and city maintaining separate poor
house, there would be but one under
county control. 1t is claimed by those
who favor the plan that this would
make better care of the poor possible
at a fraction of the expense now in
Cured. 1t is further urged that such
plan would avoid large part of the
expensive litigation between towns
growing out of pauper cases. Those
who oppose the plan argue that it is
not humane thing to separate people,
whom misfortune has made public
charges, from their home, community
and associations.
So far as the discussion of the mat
ter by the convention of county COM
missioners was concerned, no formal
expression was taken, the matter
being referred to a committee with
instructions to investigate and report
at the next convention. 1t is not
unlikely that the matter may come
up for consideration at the next
session of the legislature Kennebec

STILL SMOKING.


His WIDOW was Suoshcu'
The man had been absent from town
for a number OF years. During his abb
sence many changes had taken place.
some of his friends had moved away and
some had died. Though be had taken the
papers pretty regularly, be had not kept
mn with these friends OF his as he should
have done. Consequently, now and then
some one of them that he thought dead
and buried and forgotten came up to him
and shook him by the hand.
such shocks had the effect OF giving
him nervous prostration, or nesriyi and
they were Of such frequent occurrence
that his health not only became under
mined. but he ultimately arrived at the
couclusion that all his friends were yet
alive.
One evening he called upon woman
friend who was living at hotel. Arrived
at her rooms, be found her surrounded
by a crowd OF pc opie, but he hnaiiy
reached her and shook her by the hand.
"You are just the same" he said, adj
miringly. "Yoa haven't changed par
ticle." which was not at all true, for her
hair had turned SO white that she had
the air of marquise In some old picture.
"And your husband, too" he went on;
"be Is lust the same as ever. / saw him
inst now down In the lobby. He was
smoking"
The woman looked a trifle startled for a
moment; then recovered her oomposure
with considerable effort.

The yirulence with which the anti
trust ranters rage against the octopus
is only exceeded by the avidity with
which they jump at the opportunity
to get into one of these combinations
themselves. Now we read that the
erstwhile democratic idol, Mr.. Bryan,
has bought up rival newspaper, and
thus become proprietor of combina-
tion. But that is not all. He is now
investing in oil lands, and is in a fair
way to become himself one of the oil
magnates which he SO soundly berated
when he was a presidential posi-
biiity. But the astute Mr.. Bryan
doubtless sees that his chances of
dividends in the game of politics are
growing beautifully less, and very
wisely he invests in something that
will give surer returns.

Charles A. Coles Body Recovered.
The body OF Charles A. Cole was re-
covered at Castine Thursday afternoon by
two young men W no prepared special Crap
pings and went to the spot where it was
last seen, and in very short time
secured the remains In good condition.
Curtis r. Foster, undertaken and cor
oner, of Ellsworth, took charge of the re-
mains and brought them to Ellsworth for
burial. Rev. Frank J. Goodwin, pastor
OF Pawtucket Congregational church, " no
is summeriDg at Islesford, conducted
funeral services at the home of Mrs.
Coles sister, Mrs. L. F. Robinson, in
this city, Saturday afternoon. Interment
was in the Redmsn lot at Wood bine
cemetery.
The searching parties at Castine. under
the direction OF John NJ. Vogeil, have
worked night and day for the recovery
of the body, and the many friends OF Mr..
Cole and his family expressed great graft
tude for the sympathy of friends, and
for the efforts that were so successful.

DR.. George A. Phillips, of Ellsworth,
contributes to THE AMERICAN this
week an article presenting his views
regarding some of the causes for the
decline of the church in the country,
as brought out by Pres. Hyde, of
Bowdoin, in his address before the
Unitarian conference in Ellsworth re-
Gently. The subject is one of vital
interest just now, and the ideas so
ably expressed by DIR. Phillips are
worthy of more than passing con-
sideration. The letter is printed on
page 2.

In the effort to make political capt.
tai out of the Schley court of inquiry,
much rot of the most ridiculous sort
is being daily sent from Washington,
and the correspondents whose papers
demand sensational matter are aiding
without caring anything about par
tisan politics. There is no politics in
the case. Many of Admiral Schley's
strongest partisans are republicans of
national prominence. There is only
one question to be settled by the
court, and that is, whether Schley
performed bis duty during the naval
campaign against Spain as he should
have done.

BIrth-marks which mark and mar the outside
of the body are grief to every mother whose
children may bear them. But for every child
who bears a birth. mark on the skin there are
many who bear an indelible birth-mark on the
mind. Nervous mothers have nervous children,
and many man and woman owes an irritable
and despondent temperament to those days Of
dread when the mother waited the hour of her
maternity. The use of DIR. Pferce's Favorite
Prescription strengthens the mother for her
trial. With strength comes buoyancy OF
spirits and quietness of mind which Is one of
the happiest gifts mother can best0w on her
offspring. By giving vigor and elasticity to the
delicate womaniy organs, "Fayorite Prescrfp-
ton" practically does away with the pain of
maternity and makes the baby's advent as nat
ural and as simple as the hlossoming of a
flower. There is no opium, eocaire or other
narcotic contained IN "Favorite Prescription"
