Reflections Of a Bachelor.

young father
There are friendships between men; be-
tween women liberation.
Any man can get married whenever any
woman makes up his mind to.
A woman's figure may be as long as It
pleases If it doesn't neglect to get round
once in while.
When a woman gets burned playing
with fire she can make herself believe the
bliste-s are dimples.

THE ESQUIMO

The Esquimo eats blubber.

These people are constantly
exposed to cold and physical
strain. Experience has taught
them that fatty foods give
warmth and nourishment.
For those who have cold
and thin bodies, or are threat
ened with consumption Or any

There are very few towns in the
State of Maine that remunerate the
services of their town officers so gen.
erously as is done in York. The salary
list in 1902 amounted 10 $3.50, exclusive
Of the commission of the collector of
taxes which adds $7Gl.60 to the amount.
Add TO this amount the sums received
by thet minor appointive and elective
officers of the town and the total shows
that the official salaries foot up to APP
lproXimately one dollar per capita. The
practice of paying reasonably well for
the services of it's officials has proved
a good investment, and the especially
good work which has in many in
stances been done in recent years
would not have been possible had the
town restricted it's servants to the beg
carly compensation provided by most
municipalities.

Millions of feet of logs must he left

every operator on the Penobscot is af-
|fected. but no single one to any great
extent. The rains followed by warm
weather have made rivers of many of
the tote roads. Here it is only March
20 and in the majority of years there is
plenty of snow and cold weather to
haul long after this date and many
men are yet predicting snow and frigid
conditions generally. In the region Of
the Rangeley waters, many of the
operators have all of the logs to the
landings. While this does not help

what can be done. Operations are
practically completed in the Malta

FACILITIES
BREAK IN SERVICE ON wHATCoM
ANACoRrES ROUTE
Buckeye Has New Shaft and New
Whesl-Tmproved Service Planned on
Seattle Route-PossibIe New Service to
Wbatcom

Many people throughout the county
were subjected to great disappoint-
ment. serious inconvenience and, in
a number of instances, expense which
they could i'll afford by the withdrawal
of the steamer Buckeye from her regu-
lar route last week without any notice
to the public and without placing any
boat on the route even to carry the
mail One trip was attempted by lit
tie steam launch, but the weather was
too rough for it to cover the route.
Many people waited in vain at various
places hour after hour and day after
day for holiday mail and packages and
for guests to whose coming they had
been looking forward eagerly for
weeks.
Mr.. Newhall owner of the Buckeye,
says that before the vessel was taken
out on the ways the morning of the
I'D for the purpose of putting on new
wheel, he had no idea that it would be
necessary to miss more than one trip,
but the shaft was found to have been
worn SO much at the most important
bearing that new one was necessity
to insure safety with the. new and
larger wheel. For this it was necessary
to go to Seattle. While this should be
regarded as sufficient explanation Of
tie delay in getting he Buckeye back
on the route, it does not account, to the
satisfaction of the public, for the failure
to provide a suitable substitute boat
1t is not easy for people subjected to
serious Inconvenience and much loss of
| time by reason of such failure to find
any reasonable excuse for it. There
have frequently been occasions for
complaint before, but none quite so eX-
asperating to so many people as during
the past ten days. The kindly feeling
of the people of the county generally
toward Mr.. Newhall has doubtless
made them rather more tolerant and
indulgent than they would have been
| likely to be with a nonresident con-
tractor.

The service rendered by the steamer
Garland on the Seattle route has been
quite good of late, Notwithstanding the
rough weather. The staunch little
vessel has been making good time and
carrying many passengers The people
of the county will be glad to know that
it is the reported intention of the Puget
Sound Navigation Company to place
the fine steamer Alice Gertrude OH this
run as soon as the new steamer Clallan,
now building for the Port Angeles and
Neah Bay route, is ready for service.
If this is done, it will be necessary to
enlarge and strengthen number of
the docks on the route, which in their
present condition are unsafe landing
places for a steamer OF the Gertrude's
size.
1t is also reported that another
steamer may soon be operated between
here and Whatcom in connection with
the steamers of the recently Orga uized
Bellingham Bay Transportation Com
pany.

Experiments With Glover

In cooperation with the United
States department of agriculture the
Maine agricultural experiment station
has during the last season conducted q
comparative study of red clover OBJ
tanned from different parts of the world.
The object of this study is to deter
mine, if possible, the best source from
which to obtain seed for genera farm
purposes. To this end the questions
considered were rate and per cent of
termination, date Of blooming and
consequent earllness of crop, date of
cutting, yield per acre and general con-
dition of the stand.
Some striking differences were noted,
but of course no general conclusions
can be drawn from one seasons work.
Seed was sown May 10 on fifty-eight
plots of two square yards each. The
first bloom was noted August 2, on
plots with the seed from England, Rus
STA, Nebraska, Tennessee, Iowa and
Missouri. The first plots ready for
harvest (cut just in bloom) were those
from Indiana and one lot from Bohe-
mia. The largest yields were obtained,
in the order given, from plots with
seed from Bohemia, Indiana, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin, Brittany and Ohio.
Plants from American seed were in
varibly very hairy, while those from
European seed were almost as invaria-
bly, smooth.
