Sherlock Holmes, Jr.

Sherlock Holmes, Jr., walked into the
elegantly furnished private office.

a. the gray-haired head of the firm and
said:
Excuse me, Mr.. WaddingtOn. l
have just stepped in tAmake a deduc-
ton or two to keep in practice. You
were married before you led your pres
ent beautiful wife to the altar. She is
young; you love her very much; she
has no cause whatever to be jealous OF
you; she is perfectly sure of the fact
that you are wholly devoted to her.
You and she have no children"
The dignified captain of Industry
looked over his glasses and askeh:
who are you, sir, and why DO you
take SO much interest in my affairs?'
Il am Sherlock Holmes, j.. the great
amateur detective. AS / said mo-
ment ago, came in to make a few de-
auctions just to keep in practice"
You're a wonder. How do you hap
pen to know my name and all the rest
of the things you have told me about
MYSELF"
"Your name is on the door here. All.
you had forgotten that, hadn't you?
Judge that your wife must be young
and lovely or she would be afraid to let
you have your present stenographer
An old lady who was not perfectly sure
of her hold on you would make you
hire a man or very homeiy old maid.
All, permit me to remove this long
golden hair from your shoulder. This
tells me that you are true to your WIFE
Your stenographer's hair is brown.

as I entered, hence l conclude that the
present lovely Mrs. Waddington is not
the only wife you have had. If you
and she had child you would OF
course have its photograph on your
desk. Men who have children by their
second wives never neglect that part Of
it."
Having finished, the great amateur
detective put his hands into his pock-
cts and walked out. AS he disappeared
the captain of industry winked at the
beautiful stenographer who permitted
a wad of gum to tumble from her
mouth into the waste basket, and said:
wouldn't that melt the filling in
your teeth!''-Chicago Record-Herald.

The Rose Time.

Winter lasts five months,
Spring-tlde stays but one,
Yellow blow the rye-fields
When the rose is done.
Pines are clad in Yuletide
Whe- the birch is bare,
And the holly's greenest
In the frosty air.
Sorrow keeps a stone house
Builded grim and gray,
Pleasure has straw thatch
Hung with lanterns gay.
On her petty savings
Niggard Prudence thriveS,
Passion ere the moOnset !!
Bleeds a thousand lives.
Virtue hath a warm heart
Folly's dead and drowned,
Friendship hath her own when
Love is underground.
All for me the madness
OF the spendthrift flower,
Burning myriad sunsets
In a single hour.
For this is the joy of the rose;
That it blows,
And goes.

One of the books of the year for
Maine is the Life Of Captain jeremiah
O'Brien of Machas'' which is now
ready. Rev. Andrew Nj. Sherman is the
author and he has done a splendid piece
of work for American history. Capt.
O'Brien was the commander of our
first flying squadron, the improvised
fleet that captured the armed British
vessel Margaretta in Machias bay as was
related in these columns this week. 1t
was our first naval victory against the
mother country and its chief hero was
figure well worthy of being written
about as Mr.. Sherman has done. Ex-
Secretary John u. Long in writing of
him says: tO'Erien's brilliant feat in
capturing the Margaretta has, however
this special significance, that it was not
merely the personal heroism of a single
encounter, but was the first challenge
of theinfant American navy to the giant
and almost omnipotent naval power Of
Great Britain. Independence spoke in
the voice of its cannon and in the very
word of command of its captain. 1t
was the first in the series of the glori-
Gus victories of the Yankee sailor, and
O'Brien, full Yankee though of Irish
descent, deserves to rank with our
naval heroes. His career like that of
so many sailor-man, was full of
romance He shared the usual vicis-
STUDIES of fortune. was taken prisoner

An order was made by the local Of

allowing the attorneys in the contest
case involving the Campbell homestead
twenty days in which to file briefs.
The land in controversy is the home

of the United States; also that Camp
bell had agreed to sell the land before
he received his final certificate.

The results justified conclusion that
as fuel the gasoline brick is too sud-
den to be successful but the investiga-
tor, who providentially survived the
investigation, is under the impression
that fame and fortune await her as the
discoverer of the most powerful ex-
plosive known to modern science. Re
port says that at the conclusion of
the experiment there wasn't a piece
of that range big enough to furnish
material for a carpet tack. The pub
LEGATION Of this incident may be useful
as suggestion to other housewives
struggling with the fuel problem that
