NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
to Take Charge of Chill.
drens' Home.


Major w. S. R. Brunette of Tennessee
City, Tenn, arrived Saturday to take
charge as superintendent of The Maine
Children's Home and it's work. Miss At
kinsOn, the former superintendent, feels,
in turning the work over to him that she
has secured the very best worker that
the country affords. His work as super
intendent of the Iowa Childrens Home
for five years, besides two years previous
as assistant superintendent is well
known to her and he is highly recon-
mended. When failing health made it
necessary to resign his position in Iowa,
he left the association in the best con-
dition both as to finances and organiZa-
ton. of any in the National Associate
The work has now grown to such pro-
portions in Augusta as a home for home
less and dependent children that Miss
Atkinson felt unable in either strength
or experience to continue at the head Of
it. She remains a member of the board
and will aid the work in any way tina.
sch can The work has now a hold in our
community and State and by its own
merits must certainly grow to its fullest
proportions because of the fact that 1t
solves the dependent child problem with
it's motto and object, "A homeless child
for every childless home in the State.

QUALIFICATIONS OF JURORS.
Judge Whitehouse Doesn't Think
Newspaper Reading Bars a Man.

Hon. VIM. p. Whitehouse of this city.
is the presiding justice at the present
term of the supreme court in Piscataquii
county. Last week. the Zero mansiaush-
ter case was on trial. In the selection
of the jury Judge Whitehouse advanced
some ideas to the talesmen which were
new to court habitues.
"An opinion expressed is our master,
an opinion uneXpressed is our servant, =
was trenchant epigram which he used.
1.-The fact that a man has read an ac-
count of the homicide in the newspapers
is now bar to his serving on the jury
the judge told the attorneys. IF you
are going to make a ruling of that SORT
you will exclude the very men who will
make the best jurors. A man may even
form an opinion on the case, condition
on the facts being as represented in the
newspaper, but that does not preclude
his changing his opinion if he finds tina!
the evidence disproves the statements in
the press. If the newspaper account
should say that there were 10 wounds and
the evidence disclosed the fact that there
was only one, a man would have no hest
tation in forming his opinion.
"All that is wanted in Juror is a maj
of intelligence who is capable of hearing
the evidence and forming his opinion OF
the guilt or innocence of the respondent
on the evidence which is presented"

They are usually preceded or

Letter 10 M. S. Campbell,
augusta, Maine.

Dear Sir: You know your painter; we
don't; we only know painters in gen.
eral.
There are two sorts, as there are two
sorts of everybody else. One paints as
well as he can: the other as poor as he
can and get business.
The one who paints as well as he can
is, all the time lean ming; the other one
knows it all now.
Josh Billings says Its better not to
know too much than to know so many
things that ant So" There are lots o
things in paint that ant So" Lead
and oil is one of EN-.
Dsvoe lead and zinc lasts twice as
long: is better in every respect; Is
ready 10 dip the brush in: you can de-
pend on the colors; no mystery: no I'M
