Poise a Proof People.


There are entire communities Of poi.
son proof people who partakc Of doses
Of white arsenic with as much Zest as
the average person partakes Of a meal.
Chief among these singularly gifted
people are the Syrian and Corinthian
shepherds who inhabit the districts of
Lamprecht, Salzburg, Hartberg, Leo
ben, Oberzeirung ana the Erzgebirge
mountains. The sturdy mountaineers
consider that arsenic improves their
wind for chamois climbing.
Some years ago DR.. Knapp put two
Of these men through their PAGES be-
fore the German Society Of Physicians
assembled at Gratz. The one ate six
grains of white arsenic. or enough to
kill three men, without experiencing
the slightest inconvenience. The other
partook of four grains Of yellow arse
mic, or orpiment, with equal impunity.
It was explained that, seeing the good
effect of the drug upon the coats and
condition of their flocks, many of these
shepherds start the practice under the
impression that taken in moderation IT
is good for human beings also.
Usually started with small weekly
dose spread upon bread and butter, the
embryo arsenic eater has to undergo q
very severe test Of his devotion TO the
drug. Violent sickness and burning
pains accompany it's first use, and the
drug speedily asserts its fatal power
over its devotee.
ANY attempt to leave off the drug In
generally fatal. The women of these
arsenic eating districts are famous for
their beautiful compilations and luxuri-
ant tresSes.
A Reluctant Candidate.
During a local election in a German
town only one man appeared at the
nomination desk.
"Whom do you nominated" inquired
the official.
"Myselfw was the answer.
"Do you accept the nomination.
"Well, no."
The officer laughed and said:
'"Then we must try again. Whom do
you nominate%
"Myself!'
"You accept the nomination.
"No."
A subdued "donnerwetterw escaped
the lips of the perplexed official, but he
went on:
"For the third time-whom do you
nominateT'
"Myselfw same the invariable reply.
do you accept the nomination.?
The man rose up, and smile Of
satisfaction spread over his face as he
answered proudly:
Having been three times solicited
by my fellow citizens to accept the
nomination, l can no longer decline TO
accede to their wishes" He then re-

County Commissioner smith Of Corn

missioners returned from their annual up
river inspection trip. Thursday Of last
week. They found the roads in worse
shape than for some years, because Of
the severe washing they received in De-
cember Of last year and in the early
Spring. Their trip extended to The
Forks, thence through to Jackman.

commissioners made change in the

A charge has been made against Gen.
Leonard Wood, that while he was
Military Governor of Cuba he spent about
$4,000 of Cuban money in circulating
literature in favor of the bill giving re.
ciproeal advantage to Cuba in tariff rates.
Gen. Wood, when seen in regard to
the matter said; "5ome persons in this
country seem to forget the fact that
when | WAS Military Governor of Cuba
it was nv duty to protect the interests
OF Cuba in every way. | believed my
duty to be the safeguarding of Cuba 6
welfare, and all did was intended to
carry out that aim. II must be remem-
bered that | was rot representing Ne
braska, Ohio, or any State in the Union,
but the people and the island of Cuba.
| deemed it an essential part of my duty
70 supply money to let the people of the
United States know the full require.
ments of the island of Cuba"
The Beet sugar men who strongly
opposed the reciprocity bill passed by
the House caught up this incident and
urged it against Gen. Wood with the
view to make capital for their side Of the
controversy. The action of General
Wood was upon the advice of leading
Cubans. Ii might not have been a dis
Greet thing to do, probably was not, but
there are none of the elements OF en-
bezz ement of public funds or of divert
ing public funds to private uses. The
purposes and was so used.
Gen. Wood has been a model as an
army officer and as the Military Governor
of Cuba and one slight error on his part,
If it is an error, will not be allowed to
count to his discredit.

West Point Centen NAL.

President Roosevelt attended the l00:h
anniversary OF tie West Poiaf Military
Academy, last week. There were
numerous guests of the Academy includ
ing representatives. of foreign countries
at Washington, senators, congressman,
etc
l. his address to the institution the
President said: Worth only counts. This
is not surprising. That Is what we have
right to expect from this military uni
versity founded by the nation. OF all
the institutions In this country, none is
more absolutely American, none more,
In the proper sense of the word, absolute
| ly Democratic than this. Here we care
nothing for the boys birthplace, for the
boys grade, for his social standing, here
we care nothing save for his worth If he
be able to show Ii. Here you represent
with almost mathematical exactness the
country geographically. You are drawn
from every walk of life by a method of
chance, meant to insure and which in
a great majority of cases does insure
nothing but active youth. Here you
| come together as representatives OF
America in the higher and more peculiar
sense than can possibly be true OF any
other institution in the land, save your
sister college that makes similar pre-
paration for the country on the seas.
The following summary II the history
of West Point is given:
Started in 1902 with ten cadets, OF
whom two were graduated, one being
Joseph G. Swift of Massachusetts. For
the first fifteen years only $50 were
graduated. Interest was not deep
Glasses of II and 70 have been sent out
each year since that time, and the present
total of men who have received diplomas
is 400. Up to 1913 a prescribed resi-
dence was not a legal qualification for
appointment as q cadet. In thst year
however, the custom to select one cadet
from each Congressional district becam,
law. As early as the Mexican War meT
from West Point won the esteem anC
respect of national military authorities
Col. Jefferson Davis, President of thu
Southern Confederacy, was graduated
with the class of 1928. Ia the Civil Wa
West Point was represented in the list o
army Commanders by Grant, Sherman
Mcclellan, Halleck, Meade, Hooper
Buel, Thomas, Schofield, Rosecrans, Nc
Pherson, Ord, Candy, Howard, Hancock
Lyon, Slocum, Merritt and others. II
the Confederate Army there were 10
} general officers who had been graduated
at West Point.

y ew YOrk-Maine.

The new mail route established direct
from New York city to Portland, Maine
is great thing for Maine people who
have business in the great metropolis,
and with the cities west and south of
that city.
The train will leave New York at p.

Springfield, r. 80 a. M. Worcester, 2 30
a. m.; Nashua, BAT a. m. Portland, GAO

at 2 p. m. Connections will be made at
junction points by which the New York
mail will reach Bethlehem, N. H., at a.
~; Fabvans, N. H., at S. 80 a. M. Que
bee at /. 30 p. M, and other points at rel.
atively early hours. This means that
Fabyans will be reached just nine hours
earlier than formerly. Bar Harbor five
and half hours earlier, and similar
saving of time at other points.
The train from Ferry to New York
Will leave at 145 p. M, reaching Bangor
at As p. M; Portland at 7.40 p. m.
Nashua, 1l.36 p M; Worcester, Ito a.

Mails for this train leave Fabyans $3.50
p. m. ; and Quebec, l.45 p. NJ, which is
very much later than heretofore.
IL will be observed that this train from
New York makes close connection at
Portland with the train that arrives at
Skowhegan at 1890 a. m. Thus one can
leave New York at 8 p. m. and arrive il
Skowhegan at 1870 the next morning

The trip from Skowhegan to New

patch, the connections not being so ad.
vantageous. We can, however, leave
here on the 1880 p. m. train, reach Port
land in time to take the train that ar.
rives in New York at 7.05 the next
morning. Even this is quite an advan-
tage to passengers and in the despatch
of mail, saving of about five hours.
This train will go into effect June 2e
and continue until October 5. 1t is in
the interest Of summer travel to Maine
New Hampshire and Vermont but will
be of advantage to general travel and
busines So. Summer business has much
to do with the train service of Maine.

Indianapolis journal: 1t looks now as
if the Democratic purity might have to go
into the next campaign with such issues
and weapons as it can improvise for the
occasion. Thus far all its efforts to fluid
either have failed. Since its last fasco
in trying TO administer the national gov.
eminent, resulting in its expulsion from
power in 1896, it has divided its energies
between trying to prevent a successful
administration by the Republicans and
to discover some issde on which it may
hope to regain power. 1t has not sue
ceeded In either. The country was new
er more prosperous, the government was
never more efficiently administered, and
the Democracy is laundering about as
hopelessly as ever in search of an issue.
In their present frame of mind almost
any old thing will do.

Lewiston journal "A nota BILE feature
of the pennsylvania eonvention) plat
form is the cordial Endorsement of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the pledge to favor
his nomination for the present Office in
1904. Viewed in connection with the
similar declaration by the Kansas re-
publican convention week or two ago,
this pronouncement is significant. Mr..
Roosevelt has now powerful support
pledged to him in both the East and the
West; and it may be expected that some
other Republican state conventions will
soon follow the example o. Kansqs and
Pennsylvania. There are alre ldy inti-
nations that the Republicans of Michi-
gan will fall into the Roosevelt column
ut an early day. The Presidents stand
for enforcement is a winner.

Boston Journal: Congressman Bur
leigh of the Third Maine District has
just been unanimously renominated. It
is wise custom which Maine has of
keeping her Representatives long il ser.
vice. She picks good men at first, and
they constantly gather value from ex-
perenee. This is the great secret of the
powerful influence which this small New
England state has welded for so many
years in Washington. Reed has retired
and Dingley is dead, but Names present

The Special MESSAGE.

The special message to Congress by
President Roosevelt is a topic that has
received greater attention since its pro-
mitigation than any other, in Washington
and all over the country. 1t is really
nothing new AZ it contains an amplifica-
ton of what ne said in his message of
December last. IL would seem that he
said enough at that time to convince
reasonable Senators and Representatives
that something should be done in the
way of temporary commercial relief to
Cubsns to keep the faith of our great,
rich government with weak, struggling
people.
A small faction of the Republican
party is opposed to granting and recip
rocal favors TO Cuba and the RESPONSE
bility is now upon them. President
Roosevelt has done all he can TO urge
upon Congress and his party the neces-
sity of this relief.
The people of the country are with
the President In this issue and The great
papers of the country, without regard to
parity as a rule stand by him in the posi-
ton he took in his annual message and
approve his course in sending this speci-
al message to congress at this time as an
opportune, courageous and chivalrous
act 1t is, we believe, thus regarded by
people of this great country, generally
and the President is honored for it.

Portland Express The Republican
party of Maine, in its state convention
in Portland put itself on record squarely
in favor of the prohibitory law and its
enforcement. After the declaration OF
that convention, and in view of the at.
titude of the people who make up the
rank and file of the party, offenses Of
executive officers who are lax in that
respect can be condoned hereafter nc
more than could be overlooked fl Igrant
violation of trusts resposed in officials in
any part of the public service. The
platform declarations of the Republican
convention find ready approval in the
minds of the party followers all over tn
state The need for new caucus law,
which shall prevent members of one
party from participating in the primaries
of the other, Is one of the things which
the conditions in the state demand, ana
we are glad to see the party put itself
on record in that way.

The Waterville Mail has true sppre-
citation of the situation, Judging from the
following editorial item; There are a
great many people in this city who are
neither professional Prohibitionists, nor
total abstainers, who are glad to know
that the municipal officers have decided,
and the police department has under
taken, to stop the illegal sale of intoxi-
eating liquor in Waterville. n the new
departure is lived up to, the profits OF
the breakers of the law will disappear,
but there will be more money in the
pockets of wage-earners with which to
feed and clothe and otherwise provide
for themselves and their families. From
the standpoint of economics, the rum
shop is indefensible.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: 1t is in
timated that the Democrats, in the cam
paign of 1902, will give special prominence
to the trusts and the tariff. They can
make no votes on either issue. The
tariff of the present time is acceptable
TO the country. On the trust question
the Republicans are far in advance of the
Democrats, for it was the Republicans
that passed the antitrust act and it is the
Republicans who are enforcing it, There
seems to be disposition on the Demo-
Gratis part to dodge the Philippine issue
in the canvass. This will show cowardce,
but it will be a confession that the Re
publican position on hat point has the
favor Of the country. This promises to
he an excellent year for the Republican
party of the nation.
