alarmed at the recent collapse of their
grain export trade. Last week. for in
stance, Montreal shipped To Europe
SIS per cent. more grain than was sent
from New York. 1t isn't Canadian
grain, but grain from our western
states that is being shipped by way OF
Canada. and the simple explanation is
in the enterprise and facilities of the
Canadian railway lines in getting the
grain from the far interior to the ship
ping point. 1t evidently behooves. our
American transportation men and our
exporters to get a hustle on.

Father.

The rosebush under the window
Has burst into the fullest bloom.
The scent on the west wind drifting
BreatheS family into the room;
But the hand that tended the roses
In the manhood of long ago,
Lies prone on the feeble bosom
Whose pulses are waxing SLOW.
How oft as he sat by the window
Where the white Scotch roSebush grows,
He told us in dreaming accents,
Your mother loved that rose.
And we knew by his smiles when he said
That he saw her young and fair.
And the summer came back to his pulses
With the roSe-Scent in the air.
Today is the roses bridal
She is white from root to crown,
And shreds from her robes abundance
Like laccS are showing down;
For stirred by the drifting breezes,
Her petals fall and fall,
Till they seem on the sward's soft verdure
To be wearing a shining pail.
But not for him, 0 roses!
For now in the morn of the day
He is leaving the night behind him.
He is dropping the years away;
And while we list in the silence
For the creakin, of Deaths grim gates,
He speeds with the foot of a bridegroom
To the uplands where she waits.
And oh, the scent OF the roses!
And oh, the swell Of the song!
And oh. for the tongue to tell her
The love that has waited SO longi
And oh, how the gold streets glitter,
And OH how the river flows,
And is this the breath of their bridal,
The scent of the w.ite Scotch rose?
We will gather a rose-spray for him
And shut it into mis- hand:
He will carry DIT home TO mother
And she will understand
Martha Baker Dunn.

On the South Portland line the men

while the girls all so barefooted until

On the Yarmouth line the people
gather on their front stoops, and i
their dooryards, in a truly pastoral
succession CT scenes that might have
been taken from Way Down East or
some other rural play.
on the North Dcering Belt line the
people are quite city like in appoar-
i,ncc until Evergreen cemetery is
reached Then things quiet down and
there's nothing doing until the journey
is most ever.
On the Windham line the women
folks spend most of their time chasing
hens and geese off the track, and try
ing to instruct those obtuse specimens
CT the poultry family to run away from
a car, not under it.
on the Saco line, which is something
new. the men inhabitants stop hayiu1
hoeing and other useful labor, and Tie
women run out of their houses, to see
the wonderful "keers' go by. They
may have beard of trolley cars, but
never rode in them, and are puzzled 10

ireland Not So Bad Off.

John D. Crimmins is one of New
FORKS leading contractors, often en-
ploying 10000 or more men, and a
Democratic politician of national fame.
He has just returned from a trip to
the home of his ancestors in Ireland,
and in interviews with the New York
papers declares that the Emerald isle,
contrary to the commonly held opinion,
is really a prosperous and happy coun-
try. And he backs up his statements
with lot of substantial figures which
are calculated to shake the opinions of
those who think of Ireland as so COM
pletely crushed under England's heel
as a land where wretched poverty
everywhere prevails only lightened by
the flight of emigrants to free America.
People over here" says Mr.. Crimmins
have a wrong impression regarding
Ireland. The peasants farms are TIE
rrettiest and present a better appear
ance thar any l have seen anywhere"
He went so far as to say that he found
very little hostile feeling toward Eng
land.
The wrong impression in America as
TO the condition of Ireland is very
largely due to the continued decrease
in population, as shown in the census
reports. Where there was popula-
tiCn OF S,175,124 in 1871 there was only
4,456,546 in 1901. Ever since 1871
there has been loss of nearly mill
lion. But population and prosperity
are by on means Synonymous terms. as
l9nd shows:

Horses. 46S,0S9 491 $50
Cattle, 4,11S,113 4,672O35
Sheep, 4,437613 4.37S,645
Pigs, 1O9649t 12l9O46
This shows an increase of over 6GO.-
COO in live stock, mostly in cattle. dur
ing the thirty years when there was q
loss OF nearly a million in population.
In the years in question there has been
Il marked change from crop raising to
stock raising and dairy farming. There
las been a noteworthy increase in re-
cent years in the number of holdings
of less than one acre. The growth of
Irish commerce since 1896 is shown liz

terly unable to appreciate their true
worth, says the York Courant. A good
instance III point occurred here at York
some years ago. Sometime early in
the sixteen hundreds. when Gorgeansl
on York river had the distinction of
being the first city on this continent,
its Lord Palatine, Sir Ferdinando
Gorges, had sent here from England
for the defense of the harbor, two
heavy guns, forty Founders at least.
They probably served their purpose
and were then laid away behind where
The town house now stands and here
they remained for nearly 200 years.
Then came town treasurer who saw !
penny to be turned into the town box
by the sale of these guns of the tine
of Charles V. and they were sold for
half a cent per pound for old iron. A
coasting vessel purchased them for
ballast. One was loaded full of powder
at Machias, one Fourth of July and
burst. The other sunk with the vessel.
Could these old English pieces have
simply been allowed to remain quietly
where they were, their value would
now be inestimable.

There are strange things besides
sea serpents in the bosom of old ocean.
York fisherman relates an experience
he had the other day in capturing IL
curious specimen of the finny tribe
which is puzzling everybody to de-
termine exactly what sort of a sea
monster it is. He was about two miles
from Eoon Island when he felt tug on
his six pound line. He commenced 20
pull in but found he had tackled hard
job. He finally got the monster into
his boat and brought it in. The fish is
of muddy color, over six feet long
and with a mead that is fully three
quart, rs of q yard wide at the widest
part. 1t has a mouth resembling that
Of a shark, ard small teeth. The
teeth are not hard as would naturally
be expected in fish of this size. It's
eyes are about as big round as an Old
fashioned copper cent. The fish weighs
200 pounds. One of the strangeSt
things about the fish is the apparent
absence of bones.
