The Show is being held in the Coliseum, a

the Portland division, combining land and
water scapes, scenes In the White Noun

Maine sea coast
The space to be occupied by the Grand
Trunk will be about 1900 square feet, and
Will be one OF the most attractive and most
interesting exhibits at the show. The Grand

IN THE MORNING.

There were times that have dreaded in
the days that now are past;
There are times whose present coming /
look forward TO aghast;
Many moments full of horror in my life
time l have spent,
There are many still before me whose ap-
proach 1 can't prevent;
Many sounds have caused my heart to
tumble down into my boots
And set my nerves aquiver with their
walls or roars or boots.
But the worst of them has never broken
up the peaceful charm
OF mind serene and easy like the six
o'clock alarm.
I've known the time I've trembled when
my creditors I'd meet
At hour of set appointment or in walking
down the street;
The burly man whose truthfulness late
ly had denied
Approached me with an angry glare and
business in his stride;
Fond recollection takes me to the time
when, as boy,
] played the game of hockey and sharp
pain succeeded joy,
But no nervous apprehension of calamity
or harm
Was like anticipation of the six o'clock
alarm.
What time, when from my slumber that
COMPOUNDED nickel clock.
With Earring, whirrng, juggling sounds
awakes me with a shock,
The sweetest, brightest visions crowd
upon me in my dreams,
And if 1 still am waking it is even worse,
1t seems;
I'm glad to think that Gabriel will only
use a horn
To rouse us from our slumbers on the
resurrection morn.
1t is worse than the shrll rooster of old
days upon the farm,
The jingling, jangling summons of the six
O'Clock alarm.

THEY BOW TO RUDENESS.
English Servants Grow Impudent
When Politely Treated, Says
American

Some Americans who recently set
up housekeeping in London were at
first delighted with their domestic
corps. A more respectful set of
servants had never come within the
ken of folk in the United States, used
as they were to the free-and-easy I'm
s-good-as-you-are attitude of retain
ers in the land of the free. But, alas,
the respect and civility lasted all too
short time. In few days these
model English domestics were acting
with a superciliousness, pertness
to match the haughtiest cook-lady in
all Greater New York, says a report
from that city. In vain the Ameri-
cans sought by every means to bring
things back to the old agreea BILE
status. Always considerable of their
servants under all circumstances,
they now redoubled their civility,
fearful that in some way they might
have transgressed the English code.
In despair the mistress of the house
finally flew to her English friend, who
had already been so kind about estab-
fishing the Americans in their home,
and asked advice.
How do you treat the servants 2"
at once asked the English friend, and
without waiting for the American to
reply, he went on: Il know you treat
them politely, with courtesy and con-
sideration, as though they were hui
man beings like yourself. All Amer
leans treat their servants so. But
it won't do over here. English serv-
ants can't stand it. You go straight
home and you treat those servants
rudely. Order them round as if they
were SO many dogs. Act as if they
were dirt beneath your feet. It's the
only way. Mind, no 'pleases' nor
thank yous' nor may trouble YOU
They won't respect you if you do.
The worse you treat English servants
the better they'll treat you, and, I'M
less you want out-and-out imperti-
nence, you just remember it,
The American returned home, did
as she was bid, and before "a hours
of ordering her servants "round like
dogs" had passed, every man and
maid of them had been cowed into
their former respectful submission.
''Still," said one of the family in
relating the experience, sit was too
subservient to suit me. There were
times after we began being rude to
them when l positively longed for
the splendid independence of our
New York cook. Give an English
servant kick in the stomach and
he'll say: oh, thank you"

to sitting posture on the bed where
she had been lounging.
Really, Harriet, you are the hard
est person on earth to understand"
There was peal of merry laughter
from the first speaker.

she retorted, looking admiringly at
the dainty little figure on the bed. 1t
was a pretty picture. A confused pile
of soft greens, pinks, blues, lavenders,
every color in the rainbow, and in
their midst a beautiful girl, twining

Harriet rose and walked toward the
door. Dolly was off the bed in an in
slant.
you crazy old girl! Sit right
down there, and talk to me properly"
and suiting the action to the words
she pushed her friend into a capacious
armchair, and seated herself on the
arm.
"Now begin, Mr.. Lawyer, I'm ready
for your cross-questions, with the ac-
cent on the cross" said Dolly, play
fully, putting her arm around the
older girls neck and leaning her
bright head against Harriet's dark
one
Il can't be cross with you, Dolly,
and you know you deserve to be
scolded."

wonderingly.
"What for! Dolly, you ought to be
ashamed of yourself; you know

"Well?"
"Oh, you provoking child" Harriet
opened her mouth to speak, but hest
tated.

like; I'm accustomed to being scold-

your friends have to fill up the spaces

do you love Richard?"
''Do | love Richard?" There was
bysterical, little laugh, and Dolly
slipped from the arm of the chair to
the floor, burying her face in her
friends lap.
DO you love him, Dolly?" repeated
Harriet, mercilessly.
Don't quarrel with me because of
that came pitiful little voice from
the depth of Harriet's lap. 81 couldn't
bear to lose your love. You don't
know how much l depend on you"
IF you can't love him, child, you
ought to send him away. You have
no right to give him any encourage
ment.'
"But, Harriet, he's so old
"He is not yet 49," said the other
stiffiy, "and that is not old for a
man."
Its too old for me; why, I'm
scarcely 49,"
well, why do you let him come
here so much?"
II have to treat him as nicely as 1
can, dear, because he is your cousin"
murmured Dolly, looking up artlessly
into the face of her friend.

you would turn your attention toward

Heretofore it has been necessary
that all mail between the two
