THE BULLET FROM AFFAIR.

Today n man may die as soon as the

miles away. begin to talk. And over
that seven miles he must walk with
caution, with wide interval between
him and his pals on either hand. lie

scratch the ground hurriedly with his
little spade at every long one, for the
great shells are sailing toward him,
and he sees by his officers eye ana

ment and that precautions are neceS-

All this is dispiriting and appears I'M
necessary. The country on all sides is
as peaceful rs his native dale, not a

hill ahead, on which he is told the enc

UPSET THEIR PLANS.
fhe story of Hurry Call For q
New York Ambulance.


A young physician tells an amusing
experience OF the days of his ambu.
lance service. a hurry call was re-
ceived one day, and he with the am
bulance was dispatched with great
haste to tenement in one of the poor
er parts Of the city. He climbed sew
eral flights Of stairs and found at the
top a family gathered in n Gsmantled
room, surrounded by their goods and
chattcls, evidently ready to move.
The patient had bec7 burned, the
doctor knew, but he failed to discover
signs of one until the mother Of the
family explained that she was the vic.
tim and amiably volunteered the in
formation that she was ready TO 20 to
the hospital at any time. She was a
remarkably healthy accident case, and
the young physician explained that he
would have to make an examination
and learn the true nature of her inju.
ries before taking her Off.
She demurred somewhat wrathfuily
at TINS, but nnally uncovered one ARM
where was to be seen bad but not
serious burn of week before. 1t was
not a burn requiring hospital treat
ment, and the doctor departed, severe
tongue flashing from the would be pa
tent following him as he hurried down
the stair, glad to get of with nothing
more serious.
The woman's wrath had good cause,
he found upon inquiry. The family had
been dispossessed, and it had been de-
cided that the husband and children
should go for time to one Of his rell-
tives. while the wife would seek refuge
in the hospital. In this way they would
tide over their troubles. but the doctors
unforeseen refusal to play his part had
upset their plans seriously.-New York

The Penobscot Ice Situation.



Last Saturday the tugs Bismarck and
Seguin broke up the ice in Penobscot
river from point below Hampden to
the old American ice house, opposite
South Brewer, a distance of about four
miles, thus clearing the way for a
smooth freeze and good ice crop in
tive of the principal fields of the river.
The tugs had no great difficulty in
breaking up the ice, which varied from
three to six inches in thickness. but
when they had reached the American
ice house it was found that the steel
sheathing on the boats had been start
ed, and so it was decided not to at
tempt to come up any further. In the
harbor at Bangor the ice is from six to
nine inches in thickness, and it is
thought there will be no attempt to
break through it. The fields cleared are
those of the Orrington, Arctic and old
American of the American Ice Co., the
Union and the Dirigo, and the houses
have total capacity of 49,, 900 tons.
The American Ice Co. has three fields
that have not been broken out-the
Aver and the upper and lower otetson.
There are ten vessels at Bangor Sch.
Annie P. Chase is at Ayers MILL with
her hold full Of lumber, the deckload
having been taken off and shipped by
rail, and another vessel is at the same
mill. Sch. Sadie Wilcutt, lumber load
ed, is at Lowell Il Engel's mill, short
distance above clear water, while the
Others are at High Head, or at and above
the Maine Central wharf. The owners
OF most of the vessels seem to have no
desire to get them out.

An Interesting Pension Case.

A verdict of guilty was rendered Sat
urday In the case against Daniel H.
Pooler of West Palmyra, who was on
trial all the week in the United States
district court in Portland ON the charge
of making a fraudulent pension vouch-
er The jury was out only seven min
utes. The case will go to the circuit
court on exceptions. 1t has been one
of the most interesting and novel pen
sion cases ever tried in this State. The
respondent has for 10 years drawn a
pension in the name of Daniel r. Hodg-
don, a corporal of Co. D, 9Th Maine In
fantry, under which assumed name he
claims to have enlisted. The govern
ment alleges that the respondent has
been impersonating Daniel r. Hodg-
ton of Brunswick, who died in the Ma
tiOnal Soldiers Home in Togus, Is years
ago. The bail of the respondent was
increased to $4,000.

lS20--f9'a3s

This is the last issue of The Republi-
can Journal in 1902 and completes the
74th year and volume. The Journal
will be in the coming year, as it has
been in the past year, a home news
paper, devoted to home news and home
interests. Under the same manage
ment that has controlled it during the
past twenty four years, it will continue
the policy that has characterized it for
nearly half century. Other than that
it has no promises to make. ''The proof
of the pudding is in the eating" Our
old readers can judge how well we have
lived up to the pledges made when, in
1880, The Republican Journal was trans
ferred from private ownership to cor
poration; and the new readers we shall
hope to retain until they may also be
classed as old readers. OF course we
realize that conditions in the news
paper business have changed, and are
still changing, and that it is necessary
to keep up with the times. More is ex-
pected now of the newspaper. 1t costs
more, in time and in money, to produce
one. Then it must be a newspaper, not
merely personal or party organ. 1t
may have party affiliations, and should
have the courage of its convictions; but
it will avoid personal abuse, will not
resort to Misrepresentation or suppress
sion of facts, and will deal honestly and
justly with its opponents. But whether
it is identified with a political party,
attempts the well nigh impossible role
Of an independent, or ignores politics
altogether, its FIRST duty is to the inter-
ests of the people of the city, county
and State in which it is published. 1t
will lend its aid to every worthy enter
prise and industry and to every move
ment looking to the intellectual and
moral advancement of the people. 1t
will seek for opportunities to commend,
and be chary of censure. Good deeds
will be blazoned in its columns, and I'M
less the welfare of the community de-
mands it the details of crimes will find
no place in its columns. We do not
mean to imply that The Journal is, has
been, or can be, such paper as here
described, but it has aspirations in that
direction.

Shall We Protect Our Game?

To THE EDITOR CF THE JOURNAL:
Estimates from Bangor records for big
game taken in Maine in the season of
1902, aggregating twenty thousand deer
and five hundred moose, are appalling
1t is believed that over two-thirds of
the number were killed by poachers in
season and out of season. Something
must be done to prevent this wholesale
slaughter, or we shall be too late to
preserve our States valuable game in
terests. We need thirty to forty hon
est, resolute wardens to patrol our for
ests, to watch border and outlying camp
poachers who are responsible for much
mischief in summer by numbering does
and fawn deer. The State gives us an
nually twenty-five thousand dollars
only for protection of game and fish,
which is totally inadequate for this pur-
pose. Most of this sum is required by
our fish hatcheries and the planting of
fish in our lakes and streams. We are
to make an effort this winter to have a
law enacted charging all foreign sports
men license fee of not less than
twenty dollars, to provide fund for ex-
ira warden service to prevent the exter-
mination of our big game. tits sugges-
ted, also, that summer campers be pro-
hibited under penalty from taking rifles
and guns into the woods in close sea-
son. Guns are not required for offence
or defence, and are menace to game
and dry forests. As playthings let them
be used at home. Our grand old State,
embracing half the territory of all New
England, thanked north, east and west
by the vast forests of Canada and the
Provinces which are tributary nursery
for our game; with the immense chop
ping work of the pulp and lumber inter
ests, yielding sprouts and twigs the favor
lite food OF moose and deer, make Maine
by nature the ideal game park of the
world. Shall we protect this valuable
heritage, or lose it by default? We beg
the earnest sympathy and cooperation
of the citizens of Maine in this work
of game protection. Let us work quickly
and earnestly. 1t is argued by some
license fee would lose us some summer
visitors. We answer that very small
percentage of them are sportsmen who
occupy our coast summer resorts, and we
have no use for any sportsmen unwill-
ing to pay for the valuable privileges
a license will give him. Let us protect
the game as State property.
