The Golden kniqht.

\ slim young knight in golden mail
Came riding down the field.
OF yellow metal was his lance
His cuirass ana his shield:
And yellow was the waving plume
That danced upon the breeze.
And yellow, too. the silken curls
That rippled 70 mis- knees.
He halted by a silver stream,
And in the moonlight pale
The chilly dews ike jewels ShOne
Upon his cleaning mali.
y wind that toll of coming frost
His saffron feathers shook.
And sent the red October leaves
In showers upon the brook.
But all along the eastern sky
\ binding glory came.
As morning robed the hills with light
And crowned the woods with flame,
And when | saw the golden knight
In glittering armor pass,
y slender spray OF golden rod
Was fitting with the grass.

Speaking of bridges. there is now a
yawning chasm between East Machias
and Machiasport. The toll bridge has
been declared unsafe and closed to the
public. This action was decided upon
at recent meeting of the owners
of the property. but-no decision was
reached for future plans. As the bridge
has not proven a profitable Investment
in recent years, report says that the
owners may abandon it and not at

AFRAID TO DE-TRAOK HANNA

WASHINGTON, y, c.. Aug. 14.-Re-
pnblicans who favor the nomination of
Roosevelt in 1904 are feeling uneasy
over the course being pursued by New
England men who desire to have Gov
ernor Crane of Massachusetts, succeed
senator Hanna as chairman of the
republican national committee.
The reason OF this course on the
part Of tho New England friends of
Roosevelt Is that they feel more conf
dence in Cranes loyalty to the Presi-
dent than they do in that of Senator
fianha, because they fear Hanna's
ambition and conspicuous position
among Republican leaders may lead
him To allow a boom for himself to
rake on roadway at critical period
of the proceedings leading - IL the
conventions choice of its nominee.
But many other Republicans and
strong advocates of MIR Roosevelt re
gard this yle@ Of the New England
ers as unwtse In the extreme and th.s
are preparing to do everything in
their power To head OF the Crane
boom Tor chairman of the National
Committee and to keep MIR. Hanna in
that place.
Their reason for this course Is that
