CHAPTER III.

l gave the young woman her early
dinner, and then left her to rest for
| the afternoon. l had little time to
spare for strangers, and so long as
l gave her what / had bargained to
give, / felt that 1 could not be ex-
pected to do more. When Badly Tow
ner returned from the store, 1 set
him to work cleaning the shoes that l
had brought out from the lower
front He was not over-pleasant about
it but l saw that there might be much
of it to do, so / was firm, in the very
first instance. l said:
Badly Towner, you need not look
so unpleasant. Those are the shoes
of my boarder who came to-day. She
good deal, and doubtless her boots
will often be muddy, perhaps worse
than they are to-day. They must be
cleaned, and
"Why sh'd ! do ito" returned Badly
Towner GROSSLY.
l might have returned, "And why
should II" but l said. "Nho else is
there to do it?-Miss Jane Maryo?"
The humor of the second part of
my sentence seemed to strike Badly
Towner as a huge joke. He really
laughed for the third time that
year.
l did not smile, however, put on
my most severe expression. 81 have
enough to do" said l, without clean
ing shoes. l am sure the Judge
never anticipa-"
81 don't spose he did," said Badly
Towner. Then why didn't the
Jedge leave. We more wealthy off?"
That's enough, Baldwin Towner,"
said |. I'm tired, and worried, and
so be l. But I'll clean them shoes,
if We say so, Miss Brathwaite.''
THANK you, Badly Towner," said
l, and fled incontinently, for fear
that he might change his mind.
i gave the young woman her tea
in the dining-room across the hall
She seemed very well pleased with
the young chicken and the nice rhu-
barb sauce, the rhubarb for which
| had cut from the kitchen garden. |
was low in my mind about that young
chicken, but l had forgotten meat
for tea when l sent Badly Towner
away so hurriedly, and that chicken
had to be sacrificed. Well, | had sac
riticed more in my life than one little
pullet, and probably / should be
called upon to make much greater
sacrifices.
My guest was retiring early. I
heard her bolt her door by half af-
ter eight o'clock, and l, weary with
my days work, went upstairs to my
room over the parlor. Aunt Jane
Mary rang her bell just as 1 had
closed my door-her room was
across the hall from mine-and !

streamed full in my face. l hid my
eyes in the pillow; | pulled the shee.
up over my nose. There was no use

and close the blinds. l raised the
window very softly SO as not to

out my hand for the hasp of the

Its Best Representative
The Country Newspaper shows Torn in
its Brightest CoIors.

The experienced city newspaper man
who handles many country exchanges
every day is always greatly Impressed
with one thing when he takes a trip
through the town where the papers are
printed. With very few EXCEPTIONS
and possibly with no exception at all,
he notices that the Impression gained
OF the town from reading their local
papers is somewhat better than that
obtained by actual survey of the com
munity. vt first glance the town does
not look as large or AS important or as
prosperous as one Judges 1t should look
after reading ITS one OF more neWSpa-
perS. To the people of the towns this
fact is of more than passing import
auce.
of course it is possible, indeed prob
able. that the idea conveyed by the
local newspaper of the general charar-
ter of the community is correct and
that upon investigation it would be
proved correct But appearances are
often deceptive to the stranger, and if
it were not for the local newspaper his
impression might discourage investiga-
ton Memories OF live and clean
local paper, containing liberal amount
OF advertising. contribute wonderfully
sustaining powers to the faith of the
visitor and if he stops to look into af-
fairs his faith is usually vindicated.
When this happens, not only once,
but several times in the course of
season, it means great deal to the
community. This belief is quite fixed
that the town is as good as its newspa-
pers Judged in a relative way, and this
popular belief has tremendous intiu-
ence for or against the town The
country newspaper gets at the heart of
things, reflects the best that there is in
business and character The town is
proclaimed abroad just as it is by the
local papers, and the best introduction
it ever gets to the outsider is through
them.-Soux City Ia Tribune.

The Bible in Installments.

The members of the National Educa-
tional association who regret so much
the fact that the Bible is less read than
it should be will rejoice to hear that the
editor of a weekly paper in Christian
county in this State intends to bring
the Bible home to his subscribers by
publishing it in instalments. His paper
is not Il large one, and the weekly IN
stallments will be short, so that it will
take fifty years to get from Genesis to
Revelation. Happily, If reader is
afraid he will die before the fifty
wears are up he can buy a copy of tlfe
Bible for a tritie and read it through at
once. 1t will be all the better for him
if he does.
1t is surprising that the author of this
latest plan to tamiliariZe the people with
the Bible should be a resident of a
rura! county. 1t is generally taken for
granted that the Bible is more read and
studied bv country than city people.
The country is supposed to be religious
and the city to be irreligious. In the
one the percentage of church attendance
is high except in the harvesting time.
In the other it is low at all times. One
may go into city homes and not see
copy of the Bible In country homes
one is almost always i'll plain sight.
| may be that the people OF Chris
tian county have Bibles but do not
read them. Not long before the civil
war began Josh" Allen made speech
down III Egypt in which he said 1t was
plain that the Egyptians at least We're
making no preparations for war. Il

''and see the dust lying as thick upon

as it does upon the family Bible. 1t
may be that the dust is thick upon the
Christian county Bibles, and the ell
terprising editor OF the Assumption
Independent thinks he can remedy the
Stl state of affairs by inoculatng his
readers with q taste for Bible reading.
1t is the excellent custom OF the
comtryman to read his paper thorough

lower right hand corner of the last

George Williamson,
A Veteran of the Revolutionary War.

Miss Isabelle Graham Eaton of Ban
gor who recently contributed to the
Commercial highly interesting article
concerning the Revolutionary war sol
diers who are buried at Mt Hope ceme-
terry, has received a note from Joseph
Williamson, Esq, of Belfast, saying
that the name OF one hero, George Will
hanson, whose remains are inferred
there, has been omitted from the list. A
sketch of George Williamson's life and
services, compiled by Mr.. Williamson

Capt. George Williamson, of the fifth

He participated in the battle of White
Plains, n. V, October 2S, 1776, and was
discharged from a hospital at Stamford,
Conn.,, in December following. After
peace, he settled III Brooklyn, Conn.,.

Twelve years, relates the New York

along three-mle le stretch of track at
Fryeburg, Me. 1t was his business to
pull a car from one end of the line to
the other and then pull it back again
The whole burden of operating the sys-

the entire line would have gone out OF
commission. The company owned three
cars, but it had no other horse But
his responsibility did not make him
proud or presumptious. Neither was
he lonesome, for, while he had no com
rade i'll the service of the Fryehurg

a noble army of car horses employed
by more than 100 street railroads in the

associates working i'll New England

The Coal Trust.

\ staff correspondent Of the Phila-
dtlpha Times has been investigating
the grievances of the anthracite miners
and comes to the conclusion that the
operators declare there is nothing to
arbitrate, simply because they fear the
possible result of arbitration. Their
policy has been to treat the miners as
children, yet without the immunities
and advantages of children. They re-
quired them for many years, for in
stance, to pay the salaries of ''company
doctors,' even if they preferred to be
attended by other physicians. The
grossest injustice complained of is that
in regard to the measurement and ton
mage of coal, upon which the actual
wages Of miners are based. 1t is shown
from examination of the books of sew
eral collieries that the loss to the miner
through excessive loading of cars and
excessive tining for estimated waste
amounts in a year. in most cases, to
at least the equivalent of a months
wages. In one mine A. 600 tons of vast
age that did not exist was charged to
the miners. AS to the size of the long
ton, so-called, by which the miners
product is measured, there is no such
thing as consistency or uniformity. 1t
varies in different collieries from 3,034
to $3.50 pounds and it is fixed arbitrari-
ly by the employers. And yet the coal
operators declare that there is nothing

Dogdsh Gone East.
Reported in Large Numbers at Bank Ouero.

Reported in Large Numbers at Bank Ouero.
Fishermen arriving at Gloucester
from Bank Quero say that dogtish have
made their appearance i'll enormous
quantities on that fishing ground. They
were so plentiful that they would carry
the travis away before they had time
to reach bottom. Never before had
they seen this pest in such numbers. as
it is a locality where it was curiosity
to see one of them. The presence of
dogtish on the otfShore banks they can
not account for.
1t is reported that at Eastport nnmer-
Gus Goldfish and dogtish have been
observed by the Quoddy boatmen in
the lower bay and III different parts of
Passamaquoddy bay during the past
week and this is given as the principal
cause of the present scarcity of the
much wanted herring, and the cause Of
the cod and pollock becoming scarcer
as the month advances. These large
mouthed fish live principally upon the
herring, also the cod and pollock, and
seem to drive them in schools from one
place to another as is we'll known to
the fishermen in the surrounding water.
A number of iarge-sized dOgtish have
been found in the weirs down the bay,
and one large catfish. weighing over 50
pounds, was recently found on the
beach near Carlow's Island, four miles
out, where it had become stranded and
left to die. While the above obnoxious
fish are about the bay it will keep the
herring out, and it is well known fact
that the large schools of cod and pol
lock caught off the city wharves during
the early part of the month are now
gone to parts unknown. Gloucester

Gloucester's Death Roll.

Gloucester's record of sailors lost at
sea is $3.50 men i'll IS years. What a list
to think over, when wives, mothers and
children are concerned. 1t is all right
to see sailor go down to the sea in his
Ship but when the sad tidings are re-
ceived and broken to his family, then it
is that the landlubber thanks his lucky
stars that he is not sailor. 1t is a
noble life, and one fraught with perils
and dangers of all kinds. Gloucester
keeps a perfect record of those who are
lost who hail from that port, but there
are probably many more who can be
recorded in the list of unknown dead. "
