FISH AND GAME. Receipts of game
in Bangor, Thursday, Oct. md, were
very much larger than for the CORES
ponding day a year ago. The total
number of deer that We're recorded at
Bangor station was Is, While on the
corresponding day in 1901 there We're
but five. Eight deer came down over
the Bangor 4 Aroostook and three over
the Maine Central, Friday noon, besides
the animals which were received Thurs
day night and Friday morning. Not
withstanding the fact that deer and
moose are unquestionably more numer-
Gus n Maine this fall than they have
been for years past, it is said that the
caribou are still few and far between.
Just what causes the scarcity of the
caribou is a mystery. The five years
time which has been placed on these
animals does not expire for two years
yet, tut already there are men who are
advocating that the close time be ex-
tended five years more, making ten
years in allThe Matinicus lobster
catch which promised so well three
weeks ago decreased greatly later
according to the Rockland Star, and the
fishermen are not taking one-half the
catch they did early in September....An
expert says that the Maine caribou are
a tritle different from those which
abound in Newfoundland and Labrador,
although they maintain all the essential
charac teristics of the animals from the

The Timid Kitten.

There was little kitten once
Who was of dogs afraid;
And being by no means a Ounce,
His plans he boldly made.
He said, "It's only on the land
That dogs run after me,
SO ] will buy a cat-boat, and
I'll sail away to sea.
"Out there from dogs III be secure,
And each night, ere sleep,
TO make assurance doubly sure,
A dOg-Watch | will keep"
He bought cat-boat, hired crew,
And one fine summer day
Triumphantly his flag he flew,
And gaily sailed away.
But in mid-ocean one midnight
Twas very, very dark
The pilot screamed in sudden fright,
81 hear passing bark. ~
ooh, what is that ?" the kitten said.
The pilot said, 81 fear
An ocean greyhOund's just ahead,
And drawing very near!
"Alack the kitten cried, "alack!
This is no paltry pup.
An ocean greyhound's on my track
may as we'll give up"

The Children of the Streets.

BY JOSEPH DANA MILLER.
oh, little elfin faces,
Oh, wise-eyed little faces,
The WiZened, aged faces of little tots one
meets"
When laggard footsteps daily
In fetid lane and alley,
The Strange and stunted fgures-the chill
dren of the streets.
The breath that's blowing over
The scented field of clover,
The deWy Sward of meadow, the smell of
new mown hay,
The song of each new conner
That fills the choir of summer,
They never know, whose lives are spent
within these walls OF gray.
Gray walls and brick unending,
Dark, narrow stairs descending,
And halls where stiAed murmurs and angry
Oaths are heard;
On these, within our city,
Oh, Father, send Thy pity
They never know a greening thing, nor song
of singing bird.
Oh, little elfin faces,
Where are the childhood graces?
God sent them in His image, and 10! The
shapes one meets
Yet narrow bounds divide us,
Our world and this beside us,
The neither world that holds them-these

applicant on the rack for an hour and
a half, firing questions at him with
Making gun rapidity. When the late
Ii Hung Chang was in this country
he was noted for the strangely per-
sonal questions he asked all the peo-
pie he met. The aged Roxbury gen.
tleman was able to beat Earl Ii at his

age, his family, the time he had lived
in Boston and whether he was likely
to be out nights. The old gentleman
wanted to know if the applicant had
any friends, and, if so, who they were
The question, however, which appeared
TO be the most vital was on the matter

SOME STRANGE RESULTS.

FLOATING Islands from the Shake-Up At Marti.
nique-Monkeys tiuri Cocoanuts At
People on Shipboard-An Island
Inhabited by Parrots.
The Norwegian steamer Donald,
from Banes with fruit, arrived at
Philadelphia, on the 10th inst, and
Capt Warnecke told this remarkable
tale:
ave were two days out from Banes
and about thirty miles from Watlins
Island, in the Caribbean Sea, when we
came upon q floating island. I, with
the mate and several Of the crew,
rowed toward it. Thousands of mon
keys scampered about the shore. and
when we we're in range they began a
bombardment by shying cocoanuts at
us. One hit me on the arm, another
on the head and the other men were
peppered. We captured two mon
keys"
The Captain showed severe wound
on the arm where cocoanut had struck
him. Continuing. he said:
"The following day We struck an
other floating island and landed. This
time. we were greeted by a covey OF
parrots of most brilliant plumage."
Capt. Warnecke declared that the
eruption in Martinique had completely
shaken up the entire district, and the
small pieces OF land became separated
from some uninhabited island.

for the quiet simplicity OF the country
sailed forth bravely one day recently,
but returned to town wondering il he
looked like a second-story burglar or .
sneak thief, owing to the rigid cross
questioning he had received from sun
dry timid householders. When he
started out he was we'll armed with
references of the most excellent char.
acter, but when he returned he found
that he had been compelled to tell the
entire story of his life, and even then
the matter had not been settled. One

KLONDIKE KINGS WIFE.
Gussie Lahore. Formerly Mrs. Bill Gates. Do
ing Stunts on q Sp okane Variety Stage.

ing Stunts on Sp okane Variety Stage.
Gussie Lahore, the first of the
three sisters of that name to marry
saltwater Bill" Gates, is now in
Spokane doing stunts on variety
stage where she says she is more con-
tent than she was the wife of the erst-
while rich Klondiker.
Gussie does not know where "Swift.
water Bill" is now and her ignorance
on the subject is not causing her any
appreciable worry. She candidly &C.
knowledges that she worked" him
as long as she could and then she
was perfectly willing to pass him
along 80 her other sisters so that the
money might all be kept in the fam.
lily.
"Swiitwater Bill" used to be coed
for q story on an off day, when the
ordinary local was just little more
elusive than usual. He finally ran
his string out last summer when he
dropped into Tacoma and incidentally
dropped out again, accompanied by
his l5-yearold niece. He took the
girl to Chehalis, where he married
her, but at that time he had not &c.
cured divorce from the last of the
Lahore sisters that bad been given
the name of Mrs. Gates.
The mother of the girl was very
wrathy for time and threatened to
do all sorts OF things TO the Tacoma
police department for letting her
brother get away, but when he was
finally located and arrested in San
Francisco she took no active steps TO
prosecute him.
1t is said that Gates deserted his
niece in San Francisco. In the lam
guage OF Gussie Lahore, "no woman
could live with Bill. He is one OF
those cheap guys. that happened to
get a great big bunch Of money, but
he hadn't . particle OF intellect and
doesn't know nothin'. Why, say-he's
a regular mark"
If Bill still had money all this
might be different. But the fairy OF
the foot-lights has him sized up cor
rectly.

MASONIC HISTORY.
Portland Dispatch.


The corner stone of the Masonic
Temple which is being erected on the
corner of Thirteenth and Morrison
streets, was laid this week. A noted
feature on this occasion was the
presence of Capt. Joseph Kellogg, who
will celebrate his Goth birthday on the
oath inst. The Captaint father brought
the charter across the plains in lS4S
which authorized the institution of
the first Masonic lodge on the Pacific
Coast, and the Captain was one OF
those present who organized the lodge
in the fall of that year in the old
Cason house on the banks of the
Clackamas river near Oregon City.
The Captain has in his possession a
memoranda book which contains the
names OF the then known Masons in
Oregon, which is signed by P. B.
Cornwall, who was entrusted by the
Grand Lodge OF Missouri to bring the
charter to Oregon. Following are the
names: William Dougherty, Frank
lin d. Martin, Harden D. Martin
James Gerish and Nathaniel Ford
Mr.. Cornwall, on reaching Fort Hall
changed his destination to Californis
and turned the charter over to Mr.
Kellogg. The Captain has an apron
which belonged TO his grand father
when he was made Mason in Canads
about 1892, aud is in an excellent
state OF preservation, being a genuine
lamb skin. The Captain has man!
interesting relics and is a most en-
thusiastic member OF the order.
