Pointed Paraqraphs.

We are told that the truth will out
and it seems to be everlastingly out OF
some people.
In the language of a get-rich-quick in
weston there as nothing so uncertain as a
sure thing.
You probably wouldn't feel iattered if
you knew what the people you think are
fools think of you.
Wealth is something that enables a mil
lonairc to stand up in meeting and say it
is no disgrace to be poor.
When a man plants sunfower seed with
the expectation of raising rainbows his
foolishness has passed the danger limit.
In searching for the per capita wealth
of country look in the table Of statistics
rather than in the pockets of the people.
We often hear of blessings in disguise,
but never word about the numerous
curses that make a specially of doing
masquerade stunts.

Indoor football in New York has
proved a failure because all rough play
was omitted. In series of 10 games
not a single accident occurred and the
spectators demanded back their money.
Boston Advertiser.
That is all right IS cheerful dig at
the roughness of football, but no doubt
the failure of these indoor games is
due to the same reason that has caused
the failure of professional football,
whenever and wherever attempted.
Football is a great undergraduate
game, and when it is played without
the accompanying rivalry and enthusi-
asm of student partisans, it loses one
of the great charms which have gained
it such popularity with our people. 1t
is not game which can ever become
successful, as has been the case with
baseball, when played by men hired for
the purpose.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1903-12-25
the purpose.

1t was General Grant, who said that
the democracy could always be de-
pended upon to make fatal blunder
when any good luck seemed to be COM
ing it's way. In the years since General
Grants time, the capacity of the
Democracy to blunder has largely in
creased, though most of the luck which
has come it's way has been of the
adamantine variety. Its latest Llander,
and one of the biggest in the whole list,
is it's attitude in the position of the
canal treaty. The American people
want to see this great interoceanic
waterway constructed with the least
possible delay, and they will have no
patience with any political leaders who
stand in the way of this mighty Ameri-
can project.

Mr.. Williams of Mississippi does not
hesitate to voice his free trade senti-
ments within the precincts of Boston,
and gives it as his opinion that the
next presidential campaign will be
largely fought out on this issue. 1t
may be that free trade can be made
popular with the working people in this
country, who from the stand point of
free traders assuming to speak for
humanity at large, should be willing to
accept the European wage scale. We
very much doubt, however, if such
proves to be the fact. The American
workmen are thoroughly alive to the
situation. They are we'll organized
and for the most part, are under strong
intelligent leadership. They appreciate
the fact that the highest interests of
labor are irreyocably linked with the
maintenance Of the protective tariff,
and they will support that policy in the
future as IN the past to the overthrow
of any political party which seeks to
substitute for it free trade tariff. 1t
is significant fact that at this very
moment, the workingmen of England
are rallying to the support of Joseph
Chamberlain's protection policy with a
unaninity and enthusiasm, that Is ex-
ceedingly disconcerting to his political
opponents. But the wage earners of
England recognize the fact that the
adoption of protection will mean higher
scale of wages for themselves and bet
ter conditions and opportunities for
their children. Men like Mr.. Williams
and his supporters, may try ever so
hard to roll back the tide of progress,
but their efforts will be in vain.

as something very remarkable because
of his age. The late Rev. DIR. ID. Il. Ran

to discharge the duties of chaplain of

Doubtless many of Maine readers
perused with interest in the November
Scrlbner's the cleverly written story
entitled "a Syndicate Hero" from the
pen of Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady
the well known clergyman and writer
OF historical romances. The fact that
the scene of the story was laid at Bar
Harbor and that number of illusions
were made that We're readily recog-
nlzed, lent distinct local flavor Add
to this the fact which has been recent
ly brought to light that the story was
founded upon truth and that the prin-
clpal actor, who masquerades in Mr.
Brady's story as Lutterworth, is in
reality, Rev. Alison Leffingwell of Tole-
DO we'll known in this section, and ad-
ditional interest is given the tale Mr.
Leffingwell is the son of the late Rev.
c. S. Leffingwell, who for many years
was rector of ST. Saviour's Episcopal
church at Bar Harbor. In his younger
days. Alsop Leffingwell, who is now
the rector Of Trinity church. Toledo,
occupied his summers in doing news
paper work at Bar Harbor for the me-

Gardner Reporter-Journal)
Gardiner is about as free from liquor
selling now as it ever was, or perhaps
can be. and it might be well now to go {,
little further in the work of reformation
and see if the sale of cigarettes to boys
cannot be stopped. 1t may be more diff
cult to prevent the boys getting them as
older persons can buy and give them to
the boys if they are mean enough to do it.
but good deal of the business could be
stopped il a determined effort was made
to do so. 1t may be putting it Il little
too strongly to say that cigarettes do
more harm than liquor. but they do a
great deal of it at least to the young
boys who smoke them, and their use
ought to be stopped as far as possible.

Christmas,

Across the outland Christmas night,
The echoing darkness and the cold,
see the city crowned with light
And every window touched with gold.
Their new gods come. their old depart,
Their strange creeds, into dust have
died.
Yet he must live o troubled heart.
Who gave to men the Christmas-tide.
He dies not, for still clear His star
Or such night stands forth since we
Remember now the Christ we are,
And watch the man that He would be
And through the dubious Outland night,
Aross the gloom alone, forlorn,
| see glad homes re-crowned with light.
And each light swings His star reborn.
Arthur StrinGer.
