1t is Il pity that the Massachusetts
got such a rocky reception on our
shores, and in Old Home Week, too,
when some our orators are eulogizlng
Massachusetts as the mother state and
others boasting of her as really the
daughter of Maine. More often it is
the lack of "rocks," rather than an
over-supply, which gets summer visit
ors to our shores in trouble.

Old Home Hills.

Wintry hills that simmer and shine
From valley land to timber line,
Ribbed with drifts where stone walls
stood
Crowned by the blue and barren wood,
Dotted with scmbre spruce and pine,
Each with its peaked, snowy hood.
Spring time hills of sombre brown,
Early green where ripple down
a thousand tiny waterways;
Hills whose smiles on April days
Displace the winters frozen frown
And charm again our eager gaze.
Hills of summers dusky green
Where stately trees their verdure preen;
Hills whose softened outlines lie
Graceful Gairst the azure sky
While the velvet clouds ca,cen
over plumcd hilltops high.
Autumn hills of opal hue,
Reaching up to heavens blue,
Or flaming bright with rcd and gold,
Gayest of natures colors bold.
With dazzling beauties ever new
That our enchanted eyes behold.
These are the old home hills we know
And love through sun or rain or snow.

In closing his Grafton Mr.. Luce spoke
thus: 'Henceforth Maine will do little
to fill the stomach of the city, but she
will ever do much to feed the brain.
For years the State has been most con-
splcu0us as breeder of men. She
sends her sons ont to every part of the
known world, and the world is the bet
ter for them. Sometimes she mourns
the departure of her children; some
times she thinks she is being
drained of much other best
blood, sometimes she INDUCES in
dreams of what might be her condition
If the statesman, the iursts, the fnan-
ciers. the men of affairs who are doing
her honor beyond her borders, were to
devote their energies to her own glori-
fication. Let her not grieve over this.
Let her rather rejoice that it is her lot
to make the world her debtor, and as
her sons come back to thank and eXtol
her. may she feel repaid for her tolls
and her anXieties by their gratitude
and by their pride in the state of their
birth"

a Humiliating Decline.

Figures given in the Journal, yester-
day, showed that the registered tonnage
of the United States now engaged IN
foreign trade is S73,O0& 1t is a humili-
ating fact that in 1910 almost century
ago, when this country had popu-
lation of 1000, 900 against S0,00O,OOO at the
present time, our tonnage in the foreign
trade was greater than it is now, being
then 9S1. 900. In 1910 American ships
and American sailors carried 9l,5 per
cent of their country's ocean trade,
and. moreover, q great share of that
of Europe. In 1861, though we had al
ready lost our Atlantic steam lines and
our shipbuilding was falling off, we still
carried 65.2 per cent. of our own trade
and some of the trade of other nations.
American ships last year conveyed only
SIS per cent. Of our imports and exports.
Our registered tonnage in 1861 stood a.
9, 49e 900. Itstands now at $4,000. Two
thirds of our once great and powerful
deep-sea fleet has vanished-and not
one new keel for a deep-sea ship is be-
ing laid on either our Atlantic or Pacific
ccastline. Our foreign tonnage is not
only not increasing, but it is actually
decreasing as the returns show a de-
crease of G000 tons from a year earlier.
Meanwhile an ever increasing fleet OF
foreign vessels throngs our ports and
monopolizes the carrying of more than
ninc-tenths of our import and export
commerce. To remedy this condition
and restore our flag to its old place on
the seas is oneoftheimperative duties
now before our government. Our for
cign shipping should be as prosperous
as our domestic shipping which is pro-
tected and in which we lead the world

centennial was Hon. Robert Luce of
Somerville, Mass, a man of good Maine
blood. and in the course of his eXcep
tionally eloquent address be rehearsed
i'll the following, fashion the impress
sivc story of the early settlement of cur
State: There is no need to recount
the characteristics of the men who were
entrusted with the founding of the New
England. The story Of Plymouth and
the Massachusetts colony is familiar to
all OF you, but it is not always remem-
bered that the first expedition sent out
by the Plymouth Company, under Cap
tain Popham, established itself at the
mouth of the Kennebec. 1t is recorded
that while the colonists were yet on the
Island Of Monhegan, 296 years ago this
week, on the 9Th of August, 1907, the
Rev. E;ichard Seymour there delivered
tie first Protestant sermon in New
England. The Popham colony was q
failure; but by the time the Pilgrims
landed at Plymouth, civilization had
won a foothold on the main between
Monhc@an and the Kennebec and the
main, or Maine fer short, if that was
tho origin of our name, thenceforth
played a most important part, though
at the time comparatively inconspicu-
ous part, in the drama of the new
world. While Blackstone was the only
nha bitant of the peninsula on which
Boston was to stand, Pamaquid had be-
come the busiest spot on the New Eng
land coast. A regular court had there
been established, the first known con-
vcyance of land TO an Englshman in
America had there been made by the
formal decd of Samoset, the lord of
PeraGllid, he VINO welcomed the Pill
grims, and scores of fishing vessels con-
tributed to the prosperity of the rising
port said then to be more important
than even Quebec. Staying for the
time within the borders of the tract
that Samoset decided to John Brown in
1925, ! wandered the other day over the
field where once had fiourished this
horeful mart, saw the paved street I'M
covered after its burial for scores of
years beneath the accumulated soil,
handled the cannon balls and other
memoptoes that tell of the attacks on
four successive forts, climbed the rock
supposed to have been at an angle Of
the. stone fortress painfully built by
Sir William Phips in 1892, only to be de-
stroyed by the French and indians four
years later. 1t is said that more than
three hundred walled cellars have been
identified close by this fort. three hun

are yellow beryls of 36lb and 81 Ills
carats respectively, and We're cut from
a single crystal found in Topsham.
They are very brilliant, of light
yellow color. Most yellow beryls
have been comparatively small, and
those mentioned by KunZ in Gems
and Precious Stones of North Amer
ica' are nearly all from two to twenty
carats in size. One notable exception
is a yellow beryl from Pennsylvania

DIR. Henry Perry while out fishing on
the Saco river about a mile from Saco,
tured an alligator sc inches in length.
Twenty-Five years ago an alligator was
caught in that vicinity and it WAS con-
sidered such an event that the fish
was preserved as a curiosity, being
placed in York Institute at Biddeford.
So far as is known, no alligator has
been caught in Maine waters from that
time until DR.. Perry's catch of last
week.
