Redbreasts
Americas sportsmen are after the
robins now, and hundreds of the

south to escape the blizzard and gives
up his little life to the gunner They

q"
Ellsworth, Me-, July 1.-THE trial
of VIM. Treworgy for the murder or
Mrs. Sarah Ware, of Bucksport in that
town, on the night of Sept. II, 1903,
will begin in the supreme judicial
court here tomorrow. This Is noted
crime and for the past three and one.
half years has been a factor in politics
in Bucksport and Hancock county, The
town officers at the time Of the murder
have all been defeated and retired, be-
cause of the claim that not
much energy was used in the effort to
ferret out The crime.
Sarah Wade was widow. about So
year Old, small Of stature and not at all
prepossessing she lived with an aged
widow on the outskirts of the town.
On the night Of her disappearance
Mrs, Ware went to Fogg's store, There
she was last seen alive. Though she
failed to return TO her home, no alarm
was given until Friday, Sept, 30, two
weeks later. Then search revealed
her body, horribly disfgured,i in clump
of bushes, 200 yards from her home
An investigation was begun ana con
tinued for weeks. Almost from the
start suspicion pointed towards Tire
worgy but no move was made until
March, 1899, when he was arrested
The warrant was issued on the
strength of n confession by Joseph
Fogs, jr., that he helped move the
body from fence near the Ware home
to the place where 1t was found. Ire
worgy was held for the grand jury
but four days later Fogg made re,
traction and then Treworgy was re
leased.
Then the case dragged for two years
until April, 1902, when the county grant
| jury suddenly took up the case ant
returned an indictment.
Judge Lucus Emory, one of the bes
criminal Judges on the Maine bencl
will sit at the trial.

Quotation Marks.

Speaking of the use of quotation
marks, the London Chronicle says;
But why all these inverted commas,
"the silly trick of peppering pages with
these uncouth bacillig' You will find
none of these bacilli in the Bible. Take
this passage, chosen at random:
Now Jesus knew that they were
desirous to ask him, and said unto
them. Do ye inquire among yourselves
of that I said, A little while, and ye
shnll not see me; and again. q little
while, and ye shall see me?
The modern compositor would setthat
passage between two brackets of In
verted commas. for it is quote within
a quote. But 1t is beautifully clear as
1t stands, and among all Biblical mis-
understandings no one, we think. has
been misled by the absence Of an In
verted comma.

Tho hoy and the Farm.

How often we hear parents discour-

farm! They refer to farm work as
irudgery and that which tends to make
them slaves to work rather than inde-
pendent men. The biggest boys are
educated ror professional men and in
many instances excel, but the vast ma
jorlty Of these, with good practical
education such as can be gained in our
schools of agriculture, would become
wealthy. progressive farmers. with finc
farms and beautiful homes, II they had
been encouraged and advised to stay
by the old farm and make it success.

MoHAMMEDANs AT PRAYER

rhey Always Respond when xho
voicc Of tho Musnsin Calls.
The Mohammedan begins his prayer
standing, with his hands outspread
and his thumbs touching the lobes Of
his cars. In this position he repeats
certain passages from the Koran, then
brings his hands down to his girdle,
folds them and recftes several other
passages from the same book. Next be
bends forward, rests both hands upon
his knees and repeats three times with
bowed head the formula Of prayer to
God, the most great. Then he rises and
cries, Allah hu akbarw (God Is greab
sixteen times. 1-
He then drops forward until his fore
head touches the ground between his
extended hands. He strikes his head
upon the floor at least three times. pro-
claiming his humility, and often doz-
en- and sometimes twenty times the act
will be repeated, according to his de-
sire to show humility and repentance.
He then returns to his knees and, sat
Ting back upon his heels. repeats q
ritual. Next, arising to his feet. he
holds his hands and concludes the
prayer, repeating over and again the
words, There is no god but God. and
Mohammed is his prophet" .4,,.,
This may be repeated once or dozen
or forty times, according to the piety
Of the worshiper. and he holds string
of beads in his hands to keep tally. HIS
obliga tions are then accomplished, but
he can 60 through the same ritual
again as many times as he likes. Tho
more frequently he does 10 the better
Moslem he is. His piety is measured
by the number of times he repeats his
prayers, and. like the Phnrisees of the
Scriptures; he prays in public places.
No matter where he happens to be or
by whom he is surrounded. whether at
labor in the fields or selling goods in
his shop or however he may be en-
ployed. the MussuIman never forgets
to pray when the voice Of the muezzin
reminds him that the hour for devotion
has arrived.
