In connection with the announce
ment recently made, as the result of
the census figures. that Maine now
leads in the granite industry, it is of
interest to know that facts and figures
regarding this industry will be one of
the chief features in the forthcoming
report of Labor Commissioner Mat
thews. 1t is found that there are about
$50 granite quarries in the State of
which about one-third are now being
operated. The matter of trade unions
and labor organizations will also be
given considerable space in the report.
There are about $50 of these in the
State. the number having rapidly in
creased of late. A chapter in the re-
port will be devoted to the wonderful
growth of Rumford Falls.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. S.-In
preparation for fight against the aamis-
sion of Reed Smoot, the Mormon can
didate, to the United States senate, the
Ministers association of this city has OBJ
tanned what it believes is unassailable
lygamy is practiced in Utah in defiance Of
the laws of this country.
1t is the intention OF the association to
submit the cases, together with other
evidence, to congress in case Smoot be
elected. The association is also preparing
an appeal which will be distributed
througheut out the United ted, States when com
times and places involved in the alleged
practice of polygamy
There are indications that the old Cen
Mormon fight is breaking out again.
Well informed men look for the dissolution
of party lines in Utah in the near fu-
ture and return to conditions which eX-
listed before Utah's statehood, when the
MormonS voted for MormonS and GentileS
for Gentiles.
John Henry Smith, an apostle of the
Mormon church, today denied that polyg-
amous relations existed at the present
time.
1t is asserted by one of the leading
ministers of the assccition that the
members of the presidency of the Nor
mon church, Joseph F. Smith, John R.
Winder and Anthon H Lund are all ac-
tive polygamists. The charge is also made
that nine of the twelve apostles of the
church are living with their plural wives
that nearly all the presidents Of the Sew
enties quorums are guilty; that 80 pre- cent
of the ward bishops and dozens of the
lesser officials in every ward of Zion,
which includes all Utah and part of Ida
ho, are violating the law.
The association will assert that Angus
M. Cannon brother of the late George
@. Cannon, and president of the Salt
Lake City state, is a well known and self
acknowledged polygamist, who declares
that the United States has nothing to do
with the matter
What is cited by the association as
a most fragrant instance of violation of
the law is the case of Bishop Morris, of
the Thirteenth ecclesiastical ward, who
married young wife not long ago and
a child has been born toa them. The as
sociation alleges that the girl was not old
enough to marry at the time Of the is
suing of the manifesto against polygamy
so the plural marriage must have taken
place since that time.

PENNY POSTAGE.
The Incident That Led to Its Estab
Ishment In England.

Hshment In England.
Many years ago, when Queen Vic
toria first began to reign, it cost nine
pence to send letter from one Eng
lish city to another. In those days the
postage was not paid by the sender
of the letter, as is now customary, but
by the receiver. So, of course, there
were many poor people who could not
afford to pay ninepence when their
mail arrived, and it often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters.
One day man named Rowland Hill
was riding on the outskirts of a city,
and he saw postman bring letter to
a young girl and demand ninepence
for it. The girl took the letter, scru-
tinized it carefully and then handed it
back to the man. saying she could not
afford to pay the postage. Thereupon
Rowland Hill, being a kind hearted
man, rode up and insisted upon paying
1t himself. When the postman had
gone, the girl confessed to her bene-
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ninepence
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
decipher.
'But," said Rowland Hill, "don't
you kaow you are doing something
very dishonest in thus cheating the
government?
The girl admitted she did, but there
was no other way to do.
Hill rode away and meditated over
this little incident, and his farfamed
idea of penny postage" was the re-
suit. At first he was laughed at by
every one, but he fought bravely and
finally was rewarded by seeing his
idea in practice all over the land.-New
York Tribune.

PREcocloUs AUTHORS.
Successful Plays That Were Write,
by Boys In Their Teens,

Successful Plays That Were Written
by Boys In Their Teens.
Was a successful play ever written
by boy of fourteen? asks CORE
spondent. Yes. This seeming miracle
has happened at least three times The
best known example of the precocious
playwright is the celebrated Lope de
la Vega, the most prolific dramatist
known to history. He produced his
first play, a comedy, entitled LA Pas
toral de Jacinto," before he had com
pleted his fourteenth year, and this
was considered such a marvellous per
Torrance that he is known to this day
in Spanish literature as "the Prodigy
of Nature" Another Spaniard and con-
temporary of La Vega, Pedro Calde-
ron, wrote his first play when he was
thirteen. Metastasio wrote his tragedy
"Giustino" and had it produced when
he was fourteen on the stage at Bo-
logna.
OF English playwrights Douglas Jer-
rold, the famous author of BLACK
Eyed Susan" also furnishes an answer
to the question. In 1918, before he had
completed his fifteenth year, he wrote
a very we'll known farce entitled
"More Frightened Than Hurt" It was
very successful on the English stage,
and the French considered it good
enough to steal. Curiously enough,
this French translation was retrans-
lated into English and again produced
on the English boards under the title
Of Fighting by Proxy" Another very
remarkable instance of different sort
Of precocity was that of William Hen
ry Ireland, who when he was about
fifteen actually produced some plays
which he attributed to Shakespeare
and which, although afterward proved
to be forgeries, were accepted by the
experts Of the time as genqine.-Pear-

Character at a Glance.

An Insignificant nose means an in
significant man. An open mouth Is a
sure sign of an empty head keep yours
closed. A projecting upper lip shows
malignity and avarice. Pointed noses
generally belong to meddlesome peo-
pie. Large eyes in a small face betok-
Ell maliciousness.
A retreating chin is always bad; 1t
shows lack of resolution. A projecting
under lip indicates ostentation, self
conceit and folly. Fine hair generally
betokens native good taste and intelli-
genee.
A dimple in the chin is pretty, but
indicates weak mental organization.
High cheek bones always indicate
great force Of character in some direc-
ton. Fullness of the temples is sup
posed to shoY powers of mathematical
calculation.
A small mouth, with nose and nostril
also small, shows indecision and cow
ardice. Half shut eyes show natural
shrewdness, together with lack of sin
certify. Slow moving eyes are always
found in the heads of persons Of pru-
dence and ability.-London Answers.

drama, "Dearer Than Life" in which
they wore very ragged, woebegone cos
tunes, they visited the well known
artists Fradelle and Marshall to be
photographed in their rags. While
waiting between the plates" Toole,
who was fond of lark, suggested to
his brother comedian to sally out and
call upon a certain mutual acquaint-
ance, who would be horribly shocked
at receiving visitors In such garb.
Brough at once assented, and, popping
on their battered hats, out into the
street the pair slipped and made for
the house of their friend. OF course
the neat housemaid and the neater
Buttons were Mortified and declined
even without being asked to purchase
matches or the like.
Il axes your pardon" said Toole in
an assumed tone. You're making
slight mistake. We want to see your
master" And he mentioned the gen
tleman's Christian name and that of
his wife.

A Japanese Retraction.

The art of retracting without taking
anything back-if the bull may be al
lowed-seems to be understood in ia
pan. A young orator at political
meeting called public official a thief.
A policeman on duty gravely rose and
addressed remark in low tone to
the speaker, who thereupon said, "The
chief of police requests me to retract
the word which 1 have just spoken
Although the word Of q sage should
never re-enter, let us make a conces-
sion; let us take back the word and
keep the idea" Great applause and
cries of 'Bravor' greeted the orators

"A Tart Hafnrf.

Lord Roberts once found himself the
center of circle Of new friends in a
London club. There was a very tall
gentleman present, who, evidently be-
lieving himself to shine as wit, seized
every opportunity to raise a laugh at
the other peoples expense. On being
introduced to Lord Roberts the wit
bent down patronizingly to his lord
ship and remarked:
Il have often heard of you, butt
shading his eyes with one hand as
though the famous general, being so
small, could be seen only with diff
culty-I have never seen you"
To this Lord Roberts promptly re-
piled:
