his public career at the same time

While Senator Vest was brilliant on

Mr.. w. II. Wildes spoke decidedly 10
favor OF city government. He said
the only objection that had been raised
against 1t WAS that of expense. He did
not believe the expense would be any
greater than at present. We need no

would be nominal; the aldermen 10 all
Maine cities serve without pay; the COL

one man, and no more expensive than

Hunting the Wild Boar

In Germany the boar hunt occurs an
nually. Trained hounds are held in
leash until the lair Of the bears is sniff
ed, and then they are let go. OFF rush
the bristling beasts. They run fast
and the faster they skip along the wild
er and "madder" they get Sometimes
they are shot, but the correct style of
killing is to use long spear or short
swordike knife. The hunter spies his
boarship speeding along in an almost
straight line, blinded with rage and
ferocity. Bending over sideways to the
earth, the sportsman thrUsts his spear
dull end downward in the soil and the
sharp point slantine upward and turn
ed directly to the boar's path. Straight
OH the wild hog rushes, and with all
the impetus of his long flight he plunges
upon the spear point and there, impaled,
dies a bloody death

Itch diem" the motto which belongs
to the Prince of Wales, is usually
translated Il serve" and tradition has
1t that 1t was taken by the Black
Prince from the royal helmet of the
blind king of Bohemia, who was killed
on the field of Creey. 1t is a notable
fact, however, that the late DR.. Will
liam Ihne professor Of English litera-
ture at Heidelberg, rejected this the
ory. He held that the motto was of
Welsh origin and took its rise at the
time when Edward l. presented his
newborn eldest son to the Welsh chief

ture sovereign. He held the child up
In his arms and exclaimed In Welsh,
"Elch dyn," meaning 'this is your

Prohibitory Law in Waldo.

Tuesday, the 18th instant, the crimi-
nal docket was taken up In the Supreme
Judicial Court and when the liquor cases
were reached the presiding Justice said
that the system Of enforcing the pro-
hibitory law here did not seem to be
altogether satisfactory, and that here
after, In the case of persistent offenders,
after sufficient time had been allowed
them to go out of the business, jail SEN
fences will be imposed for all convictions
under the prohibitory law.
County Attorney Arthur Richie stat.
ed TO Journal repor er that he was 10
sympathy with the announcement made
by the court to the effect that liquor
selling must cease after the 31st day of
March. There were sc old liquor cases
on the docket and 81 appealed cases fer
various offences which, as the court
stated, should have been mol pressed or
otherwise disposed of at previous term,
as the county attorney was In possession
OF all the facts and understood all agree
ments which had been made. The new
search and seizure cases were called up
and Ia each instance were sentenced to
pay fine of 800 and costs, taxed at
$40. After March 3lst every offence
against the laws of the State, whether
the liquor law or otherwise, will be
vigorously prosecuted to final judgment.
The farce which has been going on of
mol pressing or filing appealed cases
from police or trial justice courts will no
longer endure. Mr.. Richie further
stated, when asked the reason for this
change, that the Republican party In
convention declared that they were Ia
favor of vigorous enforcement of the
prohibitory law, and, to his mind, il
didn't mean enforcement for revenue
only.-Belfdst Journal.
