States" "No, ma'am," replied the
boy, "I don't expect to be; I'm Demo-
crat."
Our wards in Porto Rica made
things hum on election day, and show
ed by their conduct that they have a
firm hold ON the idea Of higher civiliza-
tion. Scandals were started on vari-
ous candidates and members Of one
party, the Federalists, were intimi-
dated to the ertent that they were
almost afraid to show up at the polls
to vote. Great IL civilization!
The fact that the early bird catches
the worm does not necessarily warrant
simultaneous rush at this time to.
ward the city Offices to be filed at the
election next spring. In this connec-
ton, don't overlook the fate of the
early worm. The man who starts his
campaign now, while the holiday bus.
mess is coming on, will undoubtedly
be rsbuked at the polls.

The lola Register has discovered a
preacher down in Southern Kansas
who is of the old-fashioned kind. He
recently gave this picturesque descrip-
tion of eternity: "If little sparrow
was to dip It's bill in the Atlantic ocean
and take one drop of water and then
take one hop day across the country
and put that drop in the Pacific ocean
and then hop back to the Atlantic,
one hop day, until the Atlantic was
dry as bone, it would not be sun-up
In hell"
There has been considerable discus
sion among theatre goers as to the age
Of Fife Ellsler, who appeared here
Saturday at the Colonial in when
Knighthood Was In Flower" The
guesses ranged all the way from 30 to
70 years. No one is better qualified to
speak on this subject than your Uncle
| Wills Robinson. He was well ac-
quainted with Miss Ellslers father,
and she appeared in child's parts at
the Academy OF Music when it was
managed by Mr.. Robinson. His YER
sion of the age question is as follows;
Miss Ellsler 20? Well hardly. l
used to dandle her on my knee when
she was a little girl Why, am not
as old az that. DO | look it? No, |
guess not. l am still able to attend
ball games, horse races and matinees.
Draw your own conclusions"
A Nebraska editor says: The other
day when we were driving down town
behind our family rhinoceros. we
came across an aged man tearing
bridge to pieces and placing it on a
wagon. AS the bridge was one we
needed In our business we asked the
aged man what he was doing with it.
and in which case why so, or words
to that effect He replied My eye
sight is poor, and have no spectacles
with me, understand that many ad-
vertisements are painted on this
bridge, and l am taking 1t home in
order that l may read them and find
out where l may get bargains. The
long winter evenings are coming and

and board fences and barn doors, that

had he not made break on the
first trial, the record of Star Pointer

to the half In SO seconds. and then hia
stride being so long his leg struck the
brace on the sulkey, causing him to
break. This is the first break the
horse ever made when going at speed.
McHenry took the horse back and
logged him to the wire, and then
tried for the mile again. The second
time the horse was at the half Ia
seconds slower than the first time.

Rockport, Mass, Aug 25. = The ma

o'clock Sunday morning by the signal,
Surrender; demand and uncondition-
al from Rear Admiral Higginson's
flagship. and the reply, Accept sur
render from the fore truck of the
Prairie, Commander Pillsbury's flag
ship. The battle between the blue. or
the defending squadron, and the, white
or attacking squadron. was thus quick
ly ended eight miles south of Thatch-
er's island.
The enemy had most signally failed
to make a harbor. having for it's OBJ
jective Salem. A preponderance of
fighting strength, relatively sixty-four
points. represented by the battleships
Kearsarge. Alabama and Massachu-
sets, Scorpion and a torpedo boat,
had overwhelmed the forty-five points
represented by the auxiliary cruisers
Prairie, Panther and Supply. To speak
from theoretic standpoint, the white
squadron was entirely destroyed by
the guns Of the defending battle
ships.
Thus on the fourth night the game
of naval strategy was brought to an
end, it having covered period of un-
ceasing toll. sleepless nights of anx-
ious and wearing vigil and of grave
uncertainty to its participants.
The destruction of Pllsbury's squad

MUsIC-LovING DEER.

Colonel j. M. brennan relates an in
| oident Of his recent fishing trip at
Moosehead which presents a story to
rank with both the tale of Orpheus
and that Of Robinson Crusoe fiddling
to his goats. Colonel and Mrs. Dren-
nan forsook the sport of trout catch.
ing. for time and crossed the lake
to the Masterman farm, on the west
shore, where Colonel brennan had
been told the deer came to feed every
evening.
The deer had grown wonderfully
tame and came daily to crop the
sprouting vegetation in the newly
planted fields. There was an old dog
on the place who made 1t his duty
to repel the depredations of the deer.
But he, had lost his old time vigor
In the chase and considered his duty
done when he. had sent the deer sour
rying over the fence at the foot Of the
lot. The deer were quick to learn that
the dog. was not q very terrible fellow.
and kept right on making their visits
with increasing boldness.
Camping near the Masterman place
was Mr.. LOugee, q well-known violin
list and leader of an orchestra In Ban
gor. Colonel brennan suggested to
the musician that he steal out to the
edge Of the garden plot and treat the
deer to few airs on the violin. Just
for the fun Of noting the effect.
The next evening. just before the
deer were due, Mr.. Lougee hid under
the cover Of few branches and
waited for the deer to make an ap-
pearance. Pretty soon q big buck
pushed through the foliage and began
to feed. The musician dashed of
"Old Zip Coon" Money Musk" and
several of the popular airs Of the day.
The music was played softly at first.
At the sound Of the first few measures
the effect on the deer was magical.
H stopped In his feeding and became
the soul of attention. His head rose
slowly into the air and his whole
body seemed to expand till he had
struck one of his stately attitudes that
one notes In Landseer's pictures. The
music was a mystery to him and held
him spellbound.
Finally the measures of march
were sent gliding of the strings. The
deer became the soul of stately action
at once. With a loftier poise on his
head and antlers thrown back. he
marched, about the enclosure with
grace that would surpass the perform
ance Of the most accomplished high
stopper In horse show. At times he
would stop to show his appreciation
and bring his sharp hoofs down to the
earth In q forcible way. Then he
would go on with the march.
1t was the march that pleased the
deer, evidently, for he was more than
pleased to trip on its measures.
But when "She May Have Seen Bet
ter Days" or some other Of the latter
day airs were played the deer showed
his disdain by clearing the opening
with q big bound and making away
to cover.--Boston Advertiser.
