/ FORGOT.

I saw a friend in need of just the care
That I could give, but l forgot;
In other words will it be shown to me
The harm that my forgetting
wrought?
I saw a. timid, shrinking one pass by,
To whom I might have given cheer;
A smile, nay, just kindly, friendly
glance
Could quick have stayed the falling
tear.
How much of heartache I might thus
have saved
If [ had always really sought
To give a bit of comfort to each one
Whose life touched mine when for
got!
Dear Lord, I thank Thee Thou dost
not forget,
That Thou dost pity and forgive;
SO help these souls I might have COM
forted,
That they may come to Thee and
live.

Bonner explained more carefully.

You will go will you not?"
"Of course, if you desire it, but
But what?" asked Bonner sharply.
For a moment there was silence.
Then, slowly, with much hesitation,
came the voice again:
why, nothing, only-it is so sud-
den, Mr.. Harland-Fred. And why
should We elope?"
Bonner dropped the receiver in
stantly. For moment he was
utterly confused; then light dawned
and he smiled broadly as he COM
pretended the situation.

proposed to Dolly in your name. If
you care to hear the answer, come to

AS a matter Of course it took, some
time for Bonner to convince the

earnestness, and the two changed

Then the door burst open with the

IMPENETRABLE SNOW.

Further experiments carried out in
Norway confirm the statement that
the bullet Of the Krag-Jorgensen rife
which is of lead encased in steel and
has muzzle velocity of 1880 feet per
second, will not penetrate, even at a
range Of fifty yards, more than four
feet Of unrammed snow. Snow, conse-
quentIy, is less penetrable than any
ordinary wood, even than oak, and
has a resistance nearly equal to that OF
rammed earth. Parapets, therefore
even of more important works, may be
advantageously made of snow when
available, especially as the labor of
constructing them will not be great

BLOCKED OUR PLANS
Three Cardinals Credited With Pre-
venting the Philippine Settlement.

The presence of Cardinal Gotti
Steinhuber and Wives y Tuto on the
committee of members of the Sacred
college appointed to treat with Gov
ernOr Taft about the withdrawal of
the friars from the Philippines was so
certain from the very outset to frus-
trate the object he sought to secure
that it is difficult to refrain from the
belief that the propaganda, which was
responsible for their appointment,
was bent on the negotiations coming
to nothing. For each Of the three
cardinals in question is, or, rather,
has been, a member of a great relig-
iOus order, and as such might be re-
lied upon to make the strongest kind
of fight against everything that could
affect either the prestige or the finan-
cial welfare of the order with which
they were identified. Thus, Cardinal
Gotti was a monk Of the barefooted
Carmelite Order, and still to this day,
in spite of his elevation to the rank of
a prince of the church, continues to
live the live of a monk, sleeping in a
cell and on hard mattress. He was,
up to the moment of his receiving the
sacred hat, the general of the Carmel
ties, and, although of the most humble
birth, being the son of a dock laborer
at Genoa, has been repeatedly desig-
mated by Leo XIII as the prelate whom
he would wish to see elected as his
successor
Cardinal Steinhuber has for many
years past been looked upon as the
represe ntative of the Order OF Jesuits
in the Sacred college, and, although of
advanced age, is an exceedingly clever
man, of the church militant order,
who is strongly opposed to every kind
Of concession to those whom he re-
CARDS as the foes Of the church. In
deed, he is one of the most aggressive
members of the intransigeant element
at the Vatican.
Cardinal Wives y Tuto is one of the
youngest members of the Sacred col
lege, a Spania~d by birth, formerly
member of the Berledictine Order, and
ever since his elevation to the senate
of the church has been looked upon
as the special representative at Rome
Of the various religious orders in
Spain.-New York Tribune

Clubs for Australian Mothers-in-Iaw.

According to Professor Baldwin
Spencer, formerly of Oxford, now Of
Melbourne university, the blacks Of
Central Australia are free from one
white mans burden" He has spent
several years making chronological in
vestigations among them, and one of
his discoveries was that a mother-in-
law was not allowed to come within a
mile of the ''mia-mia' ((hut) of her
married daughter. If she did so the
husband was authorized by the tribal
law to use his club. The professor
expressed admiration Of this drastic
method of preserving domestic peace
and tranquillity.-New York Tribune.

JAKE DALE.

Bret Harte'S earlier ana Dre6Zler
verses, has just begun to have his
work noticed by the magazines In
the August number of Leslie's Month
ly there is a ballad by him called
Jake Dale which is one of the best
things he has yet published.
What, stranger? You never heard tell
O. Jake
Jake Dale, o. the Lucky George?''
You must a. been raised in the East,
my son,
If you never clapped ears to the yarn
that's spun
Of Jake Dale an the race he won
In the year O. the big ice gorge.
Come March in the spring O. 81,
An the river broke at Pierre,
An come rantin' down on the clean
rampage.
She marked SO on the Yankton gauge;
Which I reckon you know is some of
a stage,
An, she covered the bottoms here.
Yeh see that pint acrost the bar
With the rifle O. shoal below?
Well, that's where the widow O. ole
Buck Slack
Once't had a claim an a drift-wood
shack
Where she lived an shaved with her
youngun pack,
All which was some time ago
Well, we on the George had tumbled
out
The roar O. the jam was wild
When we heard a cry through the
shriekin' night;
An there in the pint, in the pale
moonlight,
A wavin' an yellin' with all her might,
Stood Buck Slack's youngest child.
When all at once we heard yen,
An down cross the willow bank,
A layin' a course that we skeercely
snug,
Came Jakey Dale, with his whisky jug,
AS drunk as the mate of log-raft
tug
An a-swearin' somethin' rank
"You rust-chawed fragments o. junk"
SEE he,
"Now what do you think you've found?
A-standin' round on this old bilge tank
Like bunch O. frogs on a fioatin'
plank;
Be yeh lookin' fer gold in yon cut
bank?"
An then he heerd that sound.
AS quick as the jump of piston-rod
He was over the wheel-box guard;
An efore we could figger on stoppin
him,
He had slashed the falls from the
long boats rim
An was out past the slush o the chan
ne1s brim,
A-pUllin' quick an hard
When he showed her off from the
gumbo pint
She reeled like a swyer sn2g.
Then the current caught her along the

With the foam from her bow like a
cloud O. steam,
AS fast as a red-tail stag.
He TANNED her bow through the buck
in tide
Till the painter foated free.
With blinded eyes and drippin' skin
He fought for the race he had set to
win
Like a soldier fights, till the ice rolled
An ground against her lee.
But he'd got her up to ropin, range
An we hauled her to the rail.
When he'd landed the last one, safe
and sound,
Jake followed, an says, as he looked
around
'FYou fellers fetch out that jug you
found,
I'm as dry as the Mormon Trail"
Well, stranger, that there is the yarn
o. Jake,
Jake Dale O. the Lucky George"
He wasn't no saint with a gilt-edged
crown;
His language would shatter q church

He'd thirst in his throat that moth

An a fist like blacksmith's forge.
But all the same, he'd Christians

If he hadn't the Christian creed.

For the Entire Family.

Although the leading object of Farm and

connection with this paper, is, of course. to
acquaint the cultivator of the soil with the
best methods of farming, it realizes th,'t the
success of the farm largely depends upon
the management of the household. Ac-
cordingly much valuable space in each issue
is devoted to the wife, mothers and dauglt-

great when the greatest foes of life, diseases,

Col. Elias Milliken,

Col. and Mrs. Elias Milliken are to
leave Augusta and take up their resi-
dence in Brookline, Mass. The Kenne-
bee Journal says: For nearly 30 years
Col. Miliiken has been a citizen of
Augusta, having moved here from
Burnham in 1870. Prior to that time
he had resided in Burnham for 80 years.
He was born in Scarboro, but moved to
Gardiner with his parents when a boy.
When he was - years of age he located
III Burnham. In 1856 he represented
the town i'll the Maine Legislature.
After the war broke out he was made
the lieutenant colonel of the 18th Maine
volunteer Regiment. In 1864 and 1865
he was a senator from Waldo county,
and III 1867 he was again member of
the House OF Representatives from the
Burnham class. He was member of
Governor Chamberlain's Council in
1865 and 1869, representing Waldo
county.
During his long and busy life Col.
MIlllken has been largely engaged in
numbering operations. He not only en-
gagged in the manufacture OF long and
short lumber, but he owned thousands
OF acres of tim Der land, the greater part
of which was located in the Kennebec
district. He was first and foremost
kennebec man. All his active business
life has been spent in this section and
he has done much to perfect the great
log driving systems of the Kennebec
waters.
In business and banking circles Col.
Milliken has for many years been a
leading and influential factor, and his
retirement is regretted by his former
associates. That he may live long in
happiness and contentment in his new
home is the sincere wish of his many
friends hereabouts.
