Reflections of a Bachelor.

1t is hard to convince oneself that an in
nOcent widow was once n married woman
full of guile.
Generally it is the man who looks as If
butter wouldn't melt in his mouth that Is
trying to squeeze some girls hand under
the table,
The sooner a man understands after he
gets married that his relationship to his
mousse is the same as a cashiers to his
business firm, the greater success ne
will be as good husband.
An optimist is a person who enjoys
Stomach-ache because it is 50 nice alter
it is gone.
A girl would rather fall in love with
somebody she doesn like than never to
fall in love at all.
1t is not the man who tells good jokes,
hut the one who laughs at poor ones that
We think makes the best company.

loved school at Tuskegee. This de-
cision means much to our country and

race in America and his common sense

of our greatest Americans. His work
is here and not in South Africa.

Col Elijah Walker, formerly of
Rockland but now of Somerville, Mass,
who has the distinction of being the
oldest surviving field officer of the
Army Of the Potomac, was one of the
prominent men in the parade in Bos-
ton, last Thursday, upon the occasion
of the unwilling of the Hooker statue.
Colonel Walker was the gallant COM
mander of the Fourth Maine regiment
going out as captain of b company
made up of Rockland men. He was
soon after promoted to major and
afterwards to the colonelcy of the regi-
ment. For several years now ne has
been residing III Massachusetts but has
occasionally come to Maine to attend
the regimental reunions. He was es-
pecially invited by Governor Bates to
participate in the Hooker ceremonies.
What is happening in Bridgton as
to school tachers is also keenly felt in
the Maine cities. In Lewiston and Au-
burn many school teachers have been
decoyed away and there are many va
cancies in the roll The only remedy:

Not only is there a loud complaint
that many of the best teachers are be-

there is also a complaint, this summer,
that an unusually large number are
being decoyed into matrimony. And
that is something. fortunately for men
who want the best wives, which higher
salaries in the schoolroom will not
check
