This is the recommendation given Sen
ator Quay of Pennsylvania by a veteran
Maine guide. There's nothing like life
in the Maine woods to bring out what
there IS In man, and the man who
can fight black flies and mosquitoes,
tumble into a mudhole and get out, find
himself without a match five miles from
camp, play fish fifteen minutes and
then lose it, get freed by an angry bull
moose in close time, find that the salt
has been forgotten in the packing, and
all without a word of complaint has yet
within him the seeds of saying grace.
Bangor News: Did you go to church
Sunday? If not, why not? Of course,
there are many valid excuses that may
be offered, such as being out of town or
tired with the labors of the previous
week, or having company to entertain.
but the man who begins by making
apologies for absenting himself from
the services usually falls from grace
and soon tries to make anything from
a fishing excursion to toothache serve
his purpose. In fact, the well regulated
life should be so conducted that no man
should have the need of making excuses
at any time. And candidly, We find
that the summer sermon is, as a rule,
more interesting and more filled with
thought and sympathy than a discourse
preached in cold weather by the same
man. Most of our great religious
awakenings come in the warm weather
at camp meetings in Gods green
woods, in churches when the doors and
windows are open tc admit the cool air,
and upon boats and water craft where
the songs of the converted call out the
best that is in all of us. Take the same
congregation and place it inside of a
stived and stuffy church on a cold Sab
bath in winter, and most of the audience
will try to reason and analyZe the dis
course, to pick flaws with the logic or
criticize the clothing Of their fellow
| worshippers. Logic is all right for
starter, but religion is always a matter
of faith. One must believe before he
can grasp the meaning of the message
| which the preacher tries to convey

much of her transcendant beauty as

God are everywhere and always so in
| fused with beauty and mystery that one
must accept the miraculous origin of
things. Then again, we have often sus-
pected that the man who goes out in
the biting cold of winter and hears a
sermon about a place of intense heat
| for those who continue in sin is not so
| impressed as he should be with the ter
| rors of a torrid zone in the hereafter
and with cities that do not have to chop
the ice off from the sidewalks. We do
not say this is so. In fact, we hope 1t
is not so. but when We. observe that
most religious revivals become conta-
gious in summer, and most of the sum-
mer converts hold to faith, no one can
say that our reasoning from analogy is
wholly wrong. This much we do know,
the summer sermon is nearly always
better than the winter sermon, and the
reasonable man who does not take pains
to listen to the summer preacher is
| missing very much.

Lynchjno is Murder,

Justice Brewer of the United States
yupreme court stated nothing new
Khen he branded lynching as murder
and all lynchers as murderers in the
eye of the law, but coming from such
a source and at this time his words
are particularly impressive. Those
who have looked upon lynching as
justifiable under any circumstances
have reasoned only in shallow fashion.
Murder" and murderer" are not
pleasant words, but they are properly
used when men drag to death crimi-
nal or suspected criminal without form
of trial. Worse still is it when they
defy law and assault officers and break
open jaifs and drag out to death pris-
oners who are there awaiting trial and
certain punishment. And the MUIR
derers who make up the mob become
savages when they burn their victims
at the stake, or torture them and
mutilate their bodies.
OF late there has been a regular
lynching carnival in this country and
in many cases the lynchings have beer
of the most ,atrocious and revolving ma.
tnre. Either this, or else more Of them

Plenty More Like This in Augusta.

Scores of Augusta people can tell you
about Doan's Kidney Pills. Many a
happy citizen makes public state

of it. What better proof of merit can
be had than such endorsement.
Mr.. J. f. Dearborn the well-known
barber who has resided in Augusta for
the last 25 years and has been in his
present place of business since 1888
says: II was greatly troubled for a long
while with an aching back, and pain in

The Sea Serpent Located.

Sunday-school picnics should not
cross the line into New Brunswick. "A
Sunday-school picnic encamped near
St. Andrews, N B., and while In camp
was terrorized by a sea serpent, which
spouted about the premises. General
ly the sea serpent is seen only by fish
ernen who are half seas over.-Bos-
ton Journal.
So that Is where the sea serpent is,
all these summer months, when every
hotel landlord from Kittery to East
port has been straining his eyes sea-
ward in the hope of catching sight of 1t.
Something Is radically wrong when
mid-July passes and the sea serpent
does not drop in at few places on our
coast. The Maine Press party had no
doubt it would appear off Camden
when the members visited that town.
and everybody supposed it would put
in an appearance when the members of
the Cumberland and York bars looked
over the briny deep from the turrets
of Castle .Casco. All hopes We're In
vain. If it were a campaign year it
would be in order for the Democracy
to view the matter with alarm. Some
have suggested that the serpent was
delaying its arrival until Old Home
week, and others have declared it was
frightened away by the mosquitoes
which never before swarmed in such
clouds along the shore. But most
people have had well founded sus-
picion that the enforcement Of the pro-
hibitory law was really to blame
Whatever the reason, its non-appear-
ance has caused CONSERVATION and re-
greet among landlords. guests and fish
ermen and particularly among the
space writer's for the metropolitan
dailes. Now that 1t is located off New
Brunswick hope will revive. If it gets
along to Bar Harbor while the fleet is
there, and works westward while the
Penobscot bay and Boothbay Harbor
resorts and Old Orchard are enjoying
the August rush. all will be forgiven.

The * ishineH Petition.

The polite intimati6n from st. Peters
burg through the proper diplomatic
channels, that the Russian government
will neither receive nor consider the
petition which the American Jews
wished our government to forward
asking for the punishment Of those re-
sponsible for the eKichinef outrages,
probably closes the incident. Our
state department. with such a man as
John Hay at its head, is not likely to
send the Car a document which it
knows will be thrown in the waste
basket unopened, SO to speak. The at
titude Of, Russia is that nobody but
it's own subjects were massacred at
Kishineff ana 4hat the affair is wholly
a domestic; one with, which it is COM
petent to deal and in which other ma
tons have no business to NEEDLE. In
courteous terms and without any
break in the pleasant relations between
the two governments, that is what
Russia gives America to under
stand.
Russia's right to make such a reply
is not to be questioned. No nation is
bound to receive a memorial or petition
from another upon matters which is
wholly the domestic concern Of the
first. There is no doubt that our gov
ernent would as promptly and firmly
and politely refuse to received a me-
mortal from Russia deploring tn
lynching outrages and race riots In thi:
country. The whole world was aghas
at the Kishineff outrages, and the pop
ular condemnation which followed
them, particular in this country un
dpubtedly had an effect to spur Rus

BICYCLE RACE PUZZLE.

And then Madden claimed down, lost
her wild and reckless feeling, and
began instead to have tender thoughts
and joyful anticipations. Her fur
soon lost the ragged. unkempt look
caused by the wind and rain, and
when she had licked and dressed it
carefully, she began to feel herself
again.
Then she began to look for a nice
open space, airy but sheltered. and aft
er a week or two, found the very spot
she wanted. She scratched out lit
tie shallow hollow, collected some nice
soft leaves and grasses, and then care
fully picked out some tufts of soft fur
from her breast, and lined it through
out to make it warm and comfortable.
few days more and then Madden
woke up one fine bright morning to see
the sun shining. to hear the birds twit-
terihg, and feeling SO joyously happy
that she knew it must be Easter. All
| nature was looking joyful and in the
comfortable warm nest that Madden
had prepared so carefully a short time
before were three pretty furry little
creatures with long ears and tiny soft
noses, very like Madden herself. Such
wee, helpless little mites were they
that Madden, in spite of all her moth
erly care, nearly crushed them once
or twice in her nervousness and anx-
iety to shield them.
She had need to be nervous and anx-
! ious. too. for she knew perfectly well
that baby leverets were considered
great dainties, not only by foxes and
rats, but by lots of other things such

odd corners in the barn, and when the
owners of those noses and eyes found
it was a comrade in distress, they
straightway one and all set upon him
savagely, and never rested until they
had almost torn him to pieces, for this
is a custom in rat land.
In the middle of all the confusion
Madden, the Hare, ran out, and that
was the last she saw of the rats, for
as soon as they had killed the old rat
they set to work and ate the Easter
eggs themselves before the old hen had
time to get back to the nest
Madden lost no time in getting back
to her little ones after this and all
though she was very tired. she laid
her long warm body over them and
felt that the joy'of having them and
caring for them more than made
up for everything.
And that was the very happiest Eas-
ter that Madden, the Hare, had ever
had. One of her grateful enemies was
dead; she had three lovely little babies
of her own. and the glad bright
sun shone over all the earth, making
the little buds open their eyes to see
what the bright light was, and MAX
ing the dull, plain little brown roots
peep up through the earth with little
green shoots just to see what every
thing else in nature was doing
And to crown it all a, little bird in
a tree near by had just laid her first
egg-which was really an Easter egg
and was sitting on a branch singing
a most beautiful Easter song which she
had just composed expressly for the
occasion.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-09-27

the terrible part of it was that Mad
den did not know in which direction
her enemy might be. She laid her
ears back and listened with one paw
held up, and her poor little nose
shifting and quivering with terror.
Suddenly there was a sound of steps
-pitter patter pitter patter--and
away Madden went, where or in what
direction she neither knew nor cared.
She never stopped until she came to
an opening in the earth, and into this
she dived with no thought for any
thing but to get away from that
dreadful something behind her.
Down she went into the hole, and
was half way in before she realized
with an awful pang that she was actu-
ally running into the very burrow of
the fox himself. There could be no
doubt about it, for the smell was over
powering, and there was no other
smell like it anywhere.
In vain poor little Madden tried to
turn around; it was quite impossible,
as partly from fear and excitement
for she was now just as mad as she
could be for the time being-and part
ly because the burrow was a narrow
one and she was not turning herself
the right way. Another moment and
she would be killed.
But at this moment a wonderful
thing happened. Instead of the fox
killing Madden, he seemed to be busy
killing something else. A terrific
scrimmage was going on, and after
moments listening, the hare be-
came conscious that it was one of her
rat enemies that the fox was having
