DEATH OF CAPT. PETER MOORE.
Capt. Peter s. Moore died Sunday, May
II, after long and painful Illness OF
cancer OF the throat and heart trouble.
He was tenderly cared for by his wife all
through his illness, which has been about
one year, and for the last ten days his
son Herber.'s wife assisted her. Every
thing was done for his comfort that
human hands could do, and at the last
he was free from pain.
"Uucle Peter", as he was usually called,
was retired sea captain. In his younger
days he went on long foreign voyages, but
for the last thirty years or more he had
worked at farming. He suffered with
lame knees some years, and could not get
around without the use of canes.
He was very social man and enjoyed
calling on his -neighbors for q pleasant
chat. He was always ready to tell stories
about his long voyages. He was respected
by all and win be greatly missed.
He leaves a widow and two sons-Her-
bert c., OF Somerville, Mass, and Fred L.,
of New York.
The funeral was at the house Tuesday,
interment at the Moore an6 Stanley bury
ing yard at SeawaIl.

Buried deep In an old chest I found,
the other day, among other boyish
trinkets, an old-fashioned almanac.
How the ghost of happy, olden days
walked the halls Of memory at the
sight of that old almanac. l remem-
Der where it hung in its place of honor
over the wood box behind the little
kitchen stove. There were no Kitchen
ranges" then. 1t was a part Of the
furniture, as were the little cracked
mirror and the towel rack, where, after
additions at the pump outside, l be-
took me to comb a towsled head. There
1t hung from Jan. to Jan. /. Father
got it at the drug store. He put in
his order to the drug store early In
December. Or If he forgot it, mother
said: Now, pa, don't forget to get ar
almanac up at the store before they
are all gone" Turning over to the
first inside page found, where knew
1t was, the "signs of the Zodiac"
Those signs with their Latin accom-
paniments were to me as weird as the
Eleusinian mysteries to the Greeks,
and are to this day, for that matter.
Even the preacher could not explain
their full significance! And here are
the advertisements of the pills and
blood restorers with all their old-time
frankness and infallibility. l knew the
names Of the Opponents and the towns
where they lived, by heart. And at
the slightest indisposition felt every
symptom they described. And the
jokes at the bottom Of the pages. Some
how they do not make such jokes now
adays They were durable jokes. They
lasted all the year, like the honest blue
jeans Of the times. The jokes and the
jeans were wash goods. And the jokes
had about them the flavor of eternal
humor. Yet, somehow, as try to read
those ancient jokes do not laugh. The
tears get in my way. Maybe If could
go back thirty years the jokes would
be funny. And not only the tears, but
the faces that come between, the faces
that are folded in the yellow leaves.
They are like the faded faces in the
old daguerrotypes. Somewhere those
faces shine, doubtless. in eternal youth,
| but | cannot see them! There are al
MANAGES a plenty now-tons of them,
but have been too busy to keep track
Of the moons phases and read the
| jokes. And oh, weary and worn spirit
of man, how | sometimes yearn for
those days when Eve were so happy
and so pore" for the hOmeIy and han
by days Of the old almanac!

The moral influence of soda water is
said to be very apparent in, the Philip
pines, where a man can raise Il
thirst" and where, If unable to get
temperance drinks, he too often turns
TO something less wholesome. Not
only are substantial profits made on
the soda fountain and ice cream parlor
IN the Manila building of the Young
Mems Christian Association, but these
accessories do an amount of good that
money could hardly measure. Is there
any moralist so severe that he would

A PURSE FOR HIGHWAYMEN.
Highway Robbery Very Prevalent In

Highway Robbery Very Prevalent In
| England Century Ago.
The frequency of highway robberies
only a century ago sounds surprising
10 the present generation. Horace
| Walpole, in a letter to a friend, re-
counts an adventure of this kind which
| befell him and his friend and neighbor,
Lady Browne, in the autumn of 1881.
The night | had the honor of writ

usual, going to the Duchess Of Mont

was very dark. In the close lane I'M
der her park pale, and within twenty
yards of the gate, black figure on
horseback pushed by between the
chaise and the hedge on my side.

and so | found did Lady Browne, for
she was speaking and stopped.
To divert her fears | was just going
to say, us not that the apothecary go

voice cry, "Stopr' and the figure came

l replied my watch is not in my

''Then your purse" gave it to him;
it had nine guineas. 1t was so dark
that l could not see his hand, but felt
him take it.
He then asked for Lady Brownies
purse. and said, Don't be frightened;
will do you no hurt"
l said, mo; you won't brighten the
lady"
He replied, "No; give you my word
| will do no hurt"
Lady Browne gave him her purse and
was going to add her watch but he
said. II am much obliged to you. l
wish you good nightv' Then he pulled
off his hat and rode away.

Not long ago the governing board of
one Of the Eastern colleges said in its
annual report, in discussing the
'pranks" of the students, that 1.-The ar
rest and conviction of few bumptious
/ youths, followed by their prompt dis
missal from college, would prove an
object lesson in citizenship of incalcul-
able value to the entire student body"
1he authorities of some other colleges
wink at what they regard as the over
now OF animal spirits among the stu
dents, and attempt to restrain the
youths from too fragrant disregard of
the conventions of society rather than
to suppress all 'prankishness." Thus
we have the two schools of discipline
one of repression and the other of reg
ulation, just as we have two schools
OF medicine, two great divisions in the
Christian Church, two political parties,
two parts Of the day, light and dark
ness, two sides of the earth, and so
on through the various Qualities. Each
has Its merits and it's dement's. The
L,
vicious. That is why the school of
regulation does not believe in repres-
sion. The FRANKS are often violations
of law; they frequently disturb the
public peace, and result In the destruc-
ton of property. That is why the
school of repression thinks regulation
Is inadequate. In France, Germany
and Russia the civil authorities have
to interfere with student activities
more frequently than in the United
States, for in Europe revolutionary
movements are fomented in the great
universities. Interferences there means
an act Of self-defense by the existing
government; here it means only the
suppression of an ordinary and usually
thoughtless breach Of the peace.
