MORBUS SABBATICUS,
A Disease Common to Thousands-its

Morbus sabbaticus. or Sunday sickness
is a disease peculiar to church members
says the Woman's National Sabbath Ali
ance. The attack comes on suddenly on
every Sunday; no symptoms are felt on
Saturday night; the patient sleeps well
and wakes feeling well; eats hearty
breakfast, but about church time the at
tack comes on, and continues untn SER
vices are over for the morning. Then the
patient feels easy and eats a hearty din
ner. In the afternoon he feels much bet
ter, and is able to take a walk, talk about
politics and read the Sunday papers; he
eats a hearty supper, but about church
time he has another attack. He retires
early. sleeps well and wakes up Monday
morning refreshed and able to go to work
ard does not have any symptoms of the
disease until the following Sunday The
peculiar features are as follows:
First-It always attacks members of the
church.
Second-It never makes its appearance
except on the Sabbath
Third-The symptoms vary, but it never
interferes with the sleep or appetite
Fourth--It never lasts more than TWEEN
ty-four hours.
Fifth-It generally attacks the head Of
the family.
Sixth-No physician is ever called.
Seventh-It always proves fatal in the
end-to the soul.
NATURALIZATION is the only antidote.
Ninth--It is becoming fearfully preva-
lent and is sweeping thousands every year
prematurely to destruction.

Who killed Cock Robin?" evidently
gets thoroughly thrashed out in ths
courts of that state when the hunter
forgets the little preliminary of paying
$l0 to the state. We wonder if the
Illinois poachers ever offer the familiar
excuse of those in this state that they
had to shoot in self defence.
There is one thing in the communica.
ton which puts Maine to shame, and
that is the statement of the abundant
warden service which Illinois enjoys
and the declaration that the people
generally, and the farmers and sports
men in particular, are much interested
in game protection and do their utmost
to assist the wardens in enforcing the
law. This happy condition of things
is not true of our State-more the pity
but perhaps it will be when all our
big game is gone and only a few squir-
rels and robins remain.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Design for a New State Seal.

(DdllSOr NeWS).
1t is hoped that when the State seal
is revised and corrected next time the
pine tree and the deer lying asleep in
it's shade will be eliminated from the
design and in their places will be a
spreading apple tree in full fruit, and
under it's Bonded limbs there will be a
beautiful dairy COW chewing her cud.
We know very well that it is not safe
to trust COWS in orchards for fear the
animals will choke while trying to eat
the fruit; but the pictured COW will be
safe from such disaster unless some
gaudy hunter or summer resorter from
another State come along and frightens
her and causes her to lose her. cud.
No Discord Need Apply.

Now that the music festivals for 1909
have passed into history, let us hope
that Bangor and Portland will bear and
forbear when they compare notes as to
results There seems to have been glory
enough for all and enthusiasm enough
to lap over to next year.
One Session Plan is Better.
Oath Times).
There are official figures to prove that
the attendance at the High school in
this city has increased almost a third
since the one session plan was adopted
four years ago. The entire increase
probably is cot directly due to the
change in the hours of attendance but
a large part of it is and would be lost
again if the school We're to revert to
two sessions a day. Anything which
places a high school education within
reach of n greater number of boys and
girls is desirable and no more con-
demnahIe policy could be adopted than
the one which would reduce or restrict
attendance at the High school in this
age when education means so much.
A return to two sessions a day would
be a narrow and short sighted step
which would scarcely be accepted
quietly by the community.
Uncle Sam Should Help Both.

Our Maine newspaper friend who re-
joices over the reopening Of a Bath
ship yard under new capital does quite
we'll; but he should not fail to note
| that it is a coastwise trade that calls

between the coastwise trade and the
foreign trade in American bottoms is
| that the U. S. government helps the one
and does nothing for the other.
Beware of the Strike Agitator.

The labor trouble at the Holilngs-

men who allowed themselves to be
cooled by some smooth-talking agita-

in some way better a condition
that was already very comfortable
1t takes a wise man, sometimes
to recognize that it is good
thing to let well enough alone
If the men who struck had had any
real grievance the matter would nave
been different, but their WORK was not
over and above difficult and was amply

State Game Commissioner"
1t is seen that in Illinois even resi-
dents have to get a license to hunt such
game as squirrels, robins and prairie
chickens, and that hunting without it
means a fine of $25 and costs. How
picayunish this makes the kick against
the Maine law which requires only nom
residents to get license and allows
them the privilege of killing and taking
away two deer and a moose. The license
in Illinois, for residents as well as nom
residents, is $40. and the amount of
hunting in that state which has no
game worth hunting, save ducks and
prairie chickens, is shown by the state
ment of Commissioner Lovejoy that the
receipts from the sale of licenses
amounted to over $4,000 in July and
SIS, 900 in August. And yet it is prob
able that some of those Illinois
"sportsmen" who pay $40 at home for
the privilege of killing squirrel will
howl themselves hoarse in Maine this
fall at the new law which compels
them to pay SIS for killing moose and
two deer, with bears, wild cats, pOrcu-
pines, foxes, ducks, cartridges, and all
kinds of small game thrown in.
