Would that every veteran newspaper
man could deserve as fine a eulogy as
the New York Sun, laying aside its
usual cynicism, gave Rev. George n.
Hepworth. this week. 1t said simply
this: This was his record as Journal
list. during his many years of service:
Thousands of columns and never one
, word that was not inspired by the kind
ness and good will and active desire to
help with which his honest soul was
filled" Mr.. Hepworth left the pulpit
for newspaper work because he could
thereby reach more people and was
for many years an editorial writer and
special correspondent of the New York
Herald. His weekly sermon in that
paper. never more than three-fourths
of a column long. has been copied every
| week by many papers all over the land
and has been an inspiration and help
to countless thousands.

amusement cities in the country. With
i'm half a dozen years one of the finest
theatres in the land has been built
there. two splendid summer theatres
have been constructed and the old
Portland theatre has been turned into
vaudeville house and pursuing this
policy which was at first regarded as a
doubtful experiment did an excellent
business during the season that has
just closed. In addition to all of these
places of amusement there are also
the summer parks at Riverton and
Underwood, where entertainments are
given in hot weather. For years Port
lard has been regarded by theatrical
managers and people as one of the
Nely best amusement cities of its size
in the united States. The people here
appreciate good entertainments and
have always patronized the local
amusement houses. During the past
winter season the city was furnished
with the highest class of entertain
ments that it has ever known and from
last fall when it was opened to a few
weeks ago when it closed the jefferson
did a better business than it had dur
ing 2ll Vi the previous SeiSOilS cOii-
bined. The Portland theatre, which
had been failure after the opening of
the jefferson, turned ITS stage over
completely to vaudeville and with this
class of entertainment did most
prosperous business the past season.
The summer theatres at Peaks Island
and the Cape have done finely every
year since they were opened four years
ago and the same is true of Riverton
and Underwood. Now the city is to
have a stock theatre and work on its
construction will be commenced in
about four weeks. 1t will be located
at some point on Congress street be-
tween the Portland theatre and the city
building. The exact site will be decId-
cd upon in few days. 1t will be called
the '.McCullum' theatre after BARLEY
McCullum, the well known Portland
boy who has been so successful as an
actor and manager for several years.
Mr.. McCullum is behind the movement
to build this new theatre and after
weeks of quiet and diligent work. he
has Interested sufficient capital for the
enterprise. In company with his lead
ing man, Sidney Toler, who is now
playing a summer engagement at the
Jefferson Mr.. McCullum will build ana
then manage the new house.

Blasts From the Rams Horn.

The church is the creature and not
the creator of Christianity.
God will see the preaching workman
as we'll as the working preacher.
If God puts you in dark place it
nay he compliment to the light that
is in You.
To employ revivalist will not help
us TO evade our own responsibility.
The world is not Il sce-saw in which
you go up by sending another down.
We may prepare ourselves for the
way, but God must prepare the way
for US.
One hypocrite may eclipse the sun
to some, but he cannot hide it from all.
He who Goes not bear the burden of
souls now will not bring his sheaves
then.
Men are nearer to God than the
angels as the sons are closer than the
servants.
The world finds its own excuses in
| the things of which ii accuses the
! Christian.
1t is sometimes easier toavoid offenses
es ourselves than to forgive them in
| others.
| Many q Sunday century run has TAX
en- man that much farther from
heaven.
| Reputation is the shadow cast by
character and dependent on the light
| in which it is seen.
| L is hard to get spiritual nourishment
| through mind stuffed with the sun
day newspaper.
| You cannot make much progress if
you let yourself slide down six days
and only try to climb up on one.
| It is strange how much colder it is in
winter and how much hotter in sum-
mer on Sundays than on other days.

1t appears that the southern Demo-
Gratis regard it as all right to get

mated Governor Jeff Davis who was

A NoiseIess Typewriter.

Scientists claim that the exercise nee.
essary to operate an ordinary typewrit-
err, together with its noise. tend to injure
the health and cause nervousness. \
German inventor has therefore perfected
a machine which is operated by air
pressure on the keyboard, and does away
with the noise and much of the labor.
Its adoption may be one way of preserv-
ing health and preventing nervousness,
but there is a better and less expensive
way, and that is by using Hostetter S
Stomach Bitters. All people of sedentary
occupation need this wonderful medicine
to aid digestion and to keep the bowels
regular. 1t will also cure dyspepsia, bill
iousness. insomnia and nervousness.
Don't be deceived into taking something
t'just as good. There Is no medicine
equal to the Bitters.

Beyond the Blue.

When the tide goes out toward the far,
far blue,
Where the lighthouse beacons shine,
And the lessenins wave leaves the sandy
shore
For the far horizon line;
As sadness falls with the twilight pail
over sky and shore and sea
With the ebbing wave sweeping swiftly
out.
Ny spirit speeds to Thee.
Thy love divine burns as bright and true
AS those lighthouse beacons shine;
Though the waves of fate sweep US far
apart
As that far horizon line,
Bounding gladly out To meet the main
Sweeps the tide of thy soul TO mine;
As the gray gulf waves meet the ocean
blue.
On the far horizon line.
A. the CULTS gray wave leaps from the
shore
At touch of the moons pale wand,
To inset the ocean pillows ripping blue
Toward that far-off tropie land.
When the ebbing wave of our earth-lifs
sets
Toward Gods love-lights twinklins true,
Souls akin, which fate has parted mere,
Shall commingls beyond the blue.

The average husband is so good a

The way to get solid with a woman
when she had three callers in one after

Few of US have an accurate idea of
the rate at which fish swim. When we
say that a person is ''as fast as a por-
poise,' we hardly associate a quick
rate of swimming with that individual,
yet porpoises have been seen to dart
round and round a steamer travelling
seventeen miles an hour
The dolphin may be placed on q
level with the porpoise, but the bonito
has occasionally been known to ap-
proach forty miles for short distances.
Herrings, in shoals, move steadily
at a rate of between ten and twelve
miles; mackeral swim much faster,
and both trout and salmon go at a
rapid pace when swimming up a stream
for spawning.
