COPPER TOE NOW EXTINCT.
How the Boot Protector Was InveAte
ed By . Maine Farmer.


Children kick out the toes Of theiy
boots now just as much as they ever
I did, but the copper toe has gone out Of
date too long ago to talk about. 1t was
fine, though, in its day. How the cop
per did wink and glitter In the hre-
light! Away up in the Maine woods .
| farmer who could not bear the thought
of giving the shoemaker all he earned
took an old copper washboiler and cut
1t into strips, which he fastened on the
! toes of the boots Of Elbridge and e.
! mer, Ellsworth and Eddie.
There now.' said he LESS see you
git through them in hurry. Laws!
never see boys SO hard on shoe leath-
err" 1t was bright idea, and the more
he thought about it the more it was
borne in on him that 1t was bright
idea. He got patent on it. Elbridge
and Elmer Ellsworth and Eddie were
kind of ashamed to be seen in their
copper toes at first, but when the other
boys all crowded around them at the
district school and said: Gosh! Woosht
lay pa would fix my boots that way!
they felt more comfortable and rather
happy. From that it went on till, for
the sake of peace and quietness in the
house, II for no other reason, fathers
had to buy copper toed boots for their
boys. The Maine farmer got rich and
had pie three times a day and moved
to town and had a haircloth sofa In the
front room and marble topped center
table with wax flowers in glass case
on it and everything that heart could
wish.
But foolishness is bound up in the
heart Of child, and it is part Of his ma
ture to be hard on shoes. You may
beat the laws Of the universe for lit
tie while when they are not looking,
but not for long. The day came when
the child woke up and realized that 1t
was being robbed of it's rights guaran-
teed under the constitution. Some
thing like this Ell, I'VE. the children Of
the United States. in convention assem-
bled, do hold these truths to be self
evident" Not az all, not at all They
said: "Hee. Coppertoes. Coppertoes!"
And the coon came dOwn.-Harvey
Sutherland In Ainslee's.

INTERPRETATION.
H. G. WHITAKER.
Editor TELEGRAM.

We long for peace that is lasting
We plead for rapture that's rareb
Like fishermen ceaselessly casting X
Their nets in the gull of despair. E4
We draw from deep waters OF sorrow T%zA.
Dark wrecks Of old failure and fear, 9
And out OF sea silence we borrow an
The storm that will never come near. nv
Faith sneeds mast tho footstens Of duty ~
And halts at the door OF tomb;
Thought pierces the source Of all beauty
And returns unto dust-'tis the doom
OF each man child to strive and to wonder,
To plan for some positive gain,
And only find mysteries under
All life, he it pleasure or pain.
Lo, in realms Of the mind there Is treasure
Tor toilers who dwell in content;
There Is truth that no science can measure,
And the fearless are never forspent;
There is light when earth shadows are falling,
There's reward for the deeds that are done,
Where envy crowned virtues are calling,
Through faith is thy victory wont"

Every seat in the grand stand was
occupied, this afternoon and the races
proved to be the most interesting fea-
ture of the afternoon. The heats were
pulled off with less scoring than on the
previous afternoon and furnished
plenty of excitement for the specta-
tors.
The horses dove into the huge tank
of water. and then came the exhibition
of Mr.. Sanborn's horses. who com
manded their usual amount of atten-

PROFANATION OF SCENERY.

England has an organization called
the National Society for Checking the
Abuses of Public Advertising, the
name of which suggests long-felt
want on this side of the Atlantic.
The irroads of the billboard and
paint-pot are progressing in this
country at a rate which promises
soon to leave no attractive bit OF
natural scenery exempt from profa
nation. At this moment, the most
beautiful and prominent points on
the Hudson river are being decorated
with huge wooden signs for the display
of advertisements. What the quarry
men have left unspoiled the sign
painter is claiming for his own. and
the easy tolerance with which Ameri
cans view various kinds Of pubic
abuses promises to permit him to have
his own way, until it becomes impossi-
ble for q traveller to enjoy any part OF
the superb scenery of that noble live
without having the merits of some
ones pills, or soap. or chewing gum
Gbtruded upon his notice. The same
thing is true of the upper Mississippi
1t is notoriousiy true of mountain and
seaside resorts. and of even the mos:
sylvan retreats 10 WHICH llItu
go for rest and recreation. and the
boulc-ards of all our large cities are
lined with enormous and gaudy sign
boards which turn pleasure driving
into one vast panorama Of quack ad-
Vertising.
Natural scenery is not private
possession. Neither is it domain
open to squatter sovereignty. to be
seized upon and exploited by tht
fist conner who has selfish end t.
serve 1t belongs to the whole grca
public. and the same wholesom
public sentiment which. in Massa
rhusettS has called for the creation
OF parks and reservations. and ha:
provided even for the protection o.
roadside trees. ought to be aroused
TO check the vandalism of sordid and
unscrupulous sign-paintinS. state
legislation and local ordinances can
do a good deal. but before they can
be enacted. or if enacted. before
they can be fully enforced. there
must be an effective organism of
public sentiment to sustain them.
The subject is one that has been
tested about and grumbled over long
enough. 1t is time that something
really effective was done-BostOn

Laconia. n. H.. Aug. 29.-Hon
Charles A. Busiel formerly Governor
Of New Hampshire. died suddenly at
Ills home here at 8 O'Clock this morn
ing. The Ex-Governor retired in his
usual health last night. and when Mrs
Busiel called him. this morning. she
found him breathing heavily. Death
occurred a few minutes afterwards. He
was 80 years of age. In politics he was
a Republican.
The cause of death was heart disease
with which he had been troubled for
several years. He had made arrange
ments to go to Concord, today, to at
tend the State fair.
AS soon as the news of his death was
announced flags We're half maSted
throughout the city. Mayor Greene
called special meeting of the city
council at noon to take appropriate ac-
ton. Mr. Busiel having been mayor and
having held other city offices.
Charles A. BuSiel was for several
years one of the leading figures in New
Hampshire politics. He had held many
Public offices and was interested in nu-
merous enterprises in Laconia and
elsewhere In lS1S-19 he was a 'me mber
of the Legislature.
Originally q Democrat he was elect
ed Governor of the State and held the
Office from 1895 to 1897. During the lat
ter part of his term his opposition 10

ilcan party organization. eliminating

former chief executive into national

Mr. Busiel was Il director of the Con-
cord & Montreal Railroad and interest
ed in other lines. He was president of
the LaCona National Bank and had
been publisher Of q newspaper in this
city. He was also president of the
City Savings Bank.
He was widely known as a manufac-
turer of hosiery under the firm name
Of John w. Busiel & Go. He was prom
inent as candidate for United States
senator in 1886. but was defeated. AT
one time he was mentioned as a cabi-
