There are issued from the Weather

10 q. N. and 10 p. m respectively. The
observations on which the forecasts are
based are made al 5 q N and p n
Eastern standard time. The morning
forecast covers a period OF twenty-Iour
hours, beginning at p m OF the day
on which the forecast is issued The first
twelve hours OF the period is always
referred TO as tonight and the second
is given the name of the day 10 which

Thus fair tonight and tuesday
would be the form Of a forecast issued
at 10 a. M Monday. Tonight in this
case would begin at p. N. Monday. and
run until d. II. Tuesday. while Tues
day would end at D. m Of that day;
not midnight as some might suppose

Gone Into insolvency.

Hon. E. F. Hanson of this city entered a
petition in voluntary insolvency Jan. 10tl,
which may be a surprise to some but not to
those who have beer acquainted with the
long. earnest struggle he has made to avoid
such proceedings. Mr.. Hanson's career as
manager of the Dana Sarsaparilla Co..
gave him a great fame and at that time he
built d fine residence Oh Nortbport avenue,
costing $4,000. Later in connection with
the Petit Manan Lar d Co., he became per-
sonally responsible with others for some
$4,000 This was the beginning of the fl
nancial difficulty that brought about the at
tachment upon his real estate. His total
liabilities, including accommodation notes,
endorsements, ETC., amount to $16,502.54, of
which S11,917.79 are secured by real estate.
His total assets amount to S4,156.92. Mr..
Hanson has a very hattering offer from the
president of the Briggs Carriage & Car Co.
of Amesbury, Mass, and also position by
a prominent Wall Street company. He was
for two years mayor of Belfast and has
always been identified with movements for
public improvement to the city. His many
friends here and elsewhere deeply sympa-
thize with him in this observation-disclosures

Kipling Scores His Countrymen.

Kipling's verses in the London Times, in
! which he bitterly scores Englishmen for
! their lack of energy and patriotism in facing
the realities of war and their blindness to
the necessity of universal service, have
excited some resentment in England
especially those lines in which he sneers at
the national sports and pastimes. After
having denounced the crippled condition of
the volunteer movement, he writes:
Then were the judgments loosened, then
was your shame revealed
At the hands of a little people, few but apt
in the field.
| Yet ye were saved by a remnant and your
lands long g-Sutfering star
When your strong men cheered in their mil
lions, while your striplings went to war.
Sons of the sheltered city, unmade, un-
handled, unmeet
Ye pushed them raw to the battle as ye
picked them raw from the street.
He is also particularly severe on the as
sistance limited to Christmas gifts:
And ye sent them comfts and pictures to
help them harry your foes;
And ye vaunted your fathomless power and
Haunted your iron pride
Ere you faWned on the younger nations for
the men who could shoot and ride.
This done, Kipling gibes at his fellow
countrymen for their presumed absorption
in sports, referring in a biting line to how
they contented their souls
With the flannelled fools at the wicket and
the muddled OATS at the goals.
England, he says, can hope for nothing
until
ye can send
Men-nOt children or ervantS-tempered
and taught to the end.
Otherwise, he declares, ruin must be
Britain's portion.
He closes with this stirring appeal to the
people:
No doubt but ye are the people, absolute,
strong and wise;
Whatever your heart has desired We have
not withheld from your eyes.
On your own head, in your own hands, the
sin and the saving lies.
The Times editorially backs Kipling's
appeal. 1t does not advocate conscription,
"because it is ill-suited to our needs" but
ittells the government that training in rifle
practice and drill must be an essential part
of the course in all the secondary schools.
