Miss Stones Claim.

1t causes general surprise to learn
through the Washington dispatches
that at this late day, Miss stone puts
in claim for $4,000 apainst the Turk

measures to collect it, Mi; IS Stone, it

A Libel on Augusta.

"From s75. 900 to 100000 a year is the
volume of business done by the Port
land agency. Augusta, Watervifle and
other cities follow with figures proper
tionate to their population"
This is an extract from long article
in the Boston Journal on the prohib-
itory situation in Maine, with particu-
lar reference to the business done by
the liquor agencies. AS there has been
no liquor agency in Augusta since 1893.
and as there has been none, with the
exception of that year, for over third
of a century, it is evident that the
writer of the article did not propose
to be hampered by being confined
to the facts. Such statements are
in line with much that is writ
ten in outside papers regarding
the regulation of the liquor traffic in
this State. We have right to expect
better things of the Boston Journal
now under the ownership and manage
ment of a Maine man and with three or
four of the best newspaper men on it's
staff that Maine has produced. Not
only is Augusta without a liquor
agency, but it is to be noted that the
strict enforcement policy inaugurated
six months ago, is being carried out to
the letter. There were never so few
prisoners in the county Jail and never
so few cases of drunkenness before the
municipal court as there have been TINS
winter and spring.

Nervousness and Nerve,

The more nervous a man is, the less
nerve he has. That sounds paradox
cal-but it isn't for nerve is stamina.
Hoods Sarsaparilla gives nerve. 1t
tones the whole system, perfects diges-
ton and assimilation, and is therefore
the best medicine nervous person can
take.
If you get tired easily, mentally or
physically, take tit will do you
good.

Rebuked by the President.

Tn the course of a great demOnStra-
ton in his honor in a California CITY,
President Roosevelt stopped in his
passage through the streets to give a
severe lecture to a small boy who had
hailed him as Teddy" 1t is a pity
that there was no stenographer to take
down what the President said, for no
doubt it was we'll worth reporting as
ANYTHING he has said on this remark
able tour of the West. 1t is not likely
that the small boy meant to be over
familiar. His outburst was doubtless
the exuberance of youthful enthusiasm
in the presence of his hero. But in it
there was thoughtlessness and lack
of respect which merited a rebuke, and
doubtless the youngster will take to
heart what the President said to him
and tell the story to his children with
a pride that will make the incident a
cherished family tradition. The use OF
Teddy" in speaking of the President
in the newspapers and among our peo-
pie is an evidence of affection and adj
miraton, and it is not likely that the
President considers it disrespectful to
him or to his high office, but it is Il lit
tie different when small boy yells it
at him in a crowded street.

The bronze statue of President Nc
Kinley to be unveiled at Adams, Mass,
this summer, is the first memorial Of
the late President to be erected in New
England. 1t is expected that President
Roosevelt and many prominent gov
eminent and state officials will be pres
ent at the exercises. 1t is not strange
that such Il statue was subscribed for
by the people of Adams. Twice while
he was President, Mr.. Mckinley visited
that town as the guest of his personal
friend, William b. Plunkett, and the
people there felt a strong interest in
him and corresponding grief when he
was assassinated. a memorial SER
vice was soon held. and popular sub
scription for bronze statue of the
lamented President was started. This
statue has now been completed at q
cost Of about $4,000. 1t is q little over
eight feet high, and will stand on a
pedestal nearly as high. 1t represents
Mr.. Mckinley in the posture of an
orator. with the head slightly thrown
back.
