Prince khilkoff, tae czar's minister
Of railroads, is perhaps the least Rus
sian looking man in Russia. He is the
greatest railway builder in the world
and during the eight years he has held
his present position almost 49, 900 miles
have been constructed-mor than one
third the railway mileage of the Rus
sian empire. To him is due the ST.
berian railway construction and the
fact that Russia is far more formidable
in the far east than ever before.

A student of music of the aborigines
Mr.. Farwell, states that the Indians
have innumerable songs which con-
form to definite melodic system.
Many persons have been led to believe
that Indian music consists wholly Of
drums, whoops and yells, but. in tle
face of 20 years serious study of the
matter and thousands of phonograph
records, this belief is fast disappear
ing. These melodies are all indis-
solubly linked to legends. myths. cere-
monials or religious rituals of the

Gov. Bailey stated that Kansas will
have about 70 per cent of a full corn
crop. He bases this opinion upon what
he has seen and heard of it. as he
has been travelling over the state. A
full corn crop, according to Gov. Bal
ley's idea, is well up toward the larg-
est crop the state mas raised in the
past. In 1889 Kansas produced 273.-
100000 bushels. Seventy per cent. of
this would be something linke 19O..
100000 bushels, and Gov. Bailey be-
lieves the crop this year will be we'll
up toward that figure.

Cattle raising, which was formerly
one of the principal industries of Cuba,
is being encouraged by the govern
ment. In 1902, 267,281 head of cattle
were imported, and out of this num-
Der 1862 were slaughtered. 1t IS,
therefore, evident that the importa-
tions greatly exceed the need of home
consumption, and with its natural in
crease and the numerous tracts of land
suitable for cattle raising, it may not
be long before Cuba will have turned
the tables on the United States in this
branch of trade.

Gambling in New York seems to be
hydraheaded. Last year Mr.. Jerome
asked for an appropriation of $50 900
to suppress the game, and after he had
spent it the announcement was made
that the city was clear of gambling
houses. To-day Mr.. Jerome amazed
the board of estimate and apportion-
ment by asking for 800 900, saying
that the sum was needed to secure
evidence against and prosecute per-
sons maintaining public gaming places.

Republican Policies son,,

AuHocdles OF republican policies are
sometimes rebuked as being unfairly
partisan in claiming material progress
and prosperity as natural results of the
enforcement of such policies. The demo-
cratic free trader does not like to face
the figures which show how the countrv
has gained in wealth and general well
fare under the wise protective system
which originated with, and has been sus
tanned by, the republican party, and that
fact is not surprising, since the proof
is overwhelming of the fallacy of his own
lmpracticable and disastrous theories
Likewise the results of republican ad
mlnlstration in imposing judcious re-
strictions upon the liquor traffic. and In
devising ways and means of taxation
which vastly tighten the burden unon
the people at large while apportioning
the expense of maintaining the govern
most equitably among those who re-
celVe its benefits, do not furnish inviting
reading to the opponents of republican
state administration. But those who are
the gamers by such methods do not COM
plain. And the public at large recognizes
the great and important truth that there
is an intimate relation between sound
policies of government and the material
affairs of the people.-Troy Times

Warnings in Old School Books.

Imam amusing article on ''Scribbling in
Old School Books in Leslie's Monthly
for September, Clifton Johnson gives a
number of verses found in old spelling
books and Latin grammars to warn off
book thieves:
Steal not this book, for if you do,
Tom Harris will be after you.
Steal not this book for fear of strife,
For the owner carries big jacknife.
Steal not this book, my honest friend,
For fear the gallos will be your end.
The gallos is high, the rope is strong,
To steal this book you know is wrong.
Let every lurking thief be taught
This maxim always sure,
That learning is much better bought
Than stolen from the poor.
Then steal not this book.
The longest and most impressive of
the lamentations against possible pur-
loiners in the old school books, was the
following:
Whosoever steals this
Book away may
Think on that great
Judgment day when
Jesus Christ shall
come and say
Where is that book you
stole away.
Then you will say
do not know
And Christ will say
go down below.

Lassell-Sweetland Reunion.

The third annual reunion of the Las
sell and Sweetland families was held
with Myron Lassell at Searsmont, Aug.
Goth, and despite the storm 30 gathered
and thoroughly enjoyed the day, coming
from Belfast, South Hope, Knox and
Lincolnville. Tables had been arranged
under awnings on the lawn, but the
rain prevented their use and the COM
pany found ample accommodation in
doors. The house and veranda were
beautifully decorated with bunting,
flags and flowers. Mr.. and Mrs. Lau-
riston Lassell and Mrs. Jennie Strout,
nee Lassell, of Bradford, Me-, drove
through and were heartily welcomed.
This was their first meeting. Soon after
dinner the company was called to order
by the president, but because OF the
absence of the Sweetland family no
business meeting was held and the
same officers and committee will serve
another year. Letters were read by
the secretary from Nonlah Lassell,
Bradford, O. A. Tibbetts, Mrs. S. R.
Payson, Mrs. P. A. Herbert, all of
Providence, R. l., Mrs Cynthia Thomp-
son of Pawtucket, r. l., and c. F. Las
sell, Dupuyer, Mont. Remarks were
made by the president, Mathew Las
sell, Miss Alexander, Mr.. and Mrs. L.
R. Lassell, Mrs. Jennie Strout and Ny
ron Lassell. A vote of thanks was ten
dered to Mr.. and Mrs. Lassell for their
endeavors to make the day pass pleas
antly. An honored guest was Miss
Retta Alexander of Fort Wayne, Ind,
who proposed that the next reunion
should be held with her and her broth
er, Charles Alexander, at Fort Wayne,
but fearing all might not be able to get
there it was decided to meet with Mrs.
Susan Andrews, Searsmont, the time to
be decided upon by committee.

MICAJAH DRINKWATER.
Micajah Drinkwater, fourth son of
Joseph and Janet Iatham) Drinkwa-
ter, was born Jan. 25, 1889, in the gar
rison house on the Eastern end of Cou-
sens Island in Casco Bay, then part
of North Yarmouth. He married Eliz-
abeth Bradford of Kingston, Mass; in
1865. The intention of marriage was
recorded in North Yarmouth, July g.,
1865. and they were married soon after
in Kingston. She was born in Kings
ton, July 10, 1747, daughter OF lcha-
bod and Mary (Johnson) Bradford.
Ichabod's children were Ichabod, Eliz-
abeth, Rhoda, Lemuel and Anne.
Probably Elizabeth named her children
Lemuel and Rhoda from her brother
and sister, and Mary from her mother.
The names do not appear in the Drink
water family before that time, but oc
cur frequently in the later generations.
Micalah and his wife went to North
port few years after their marriage,
bought land of Gen. Henry Knox, and
built the log house on the farm now
owned by their grandson, Matthew
Drinkwater. This was prior to the In
corporation of the town as the name OF
Micajah and his two eldest sons, Zenas
and Josiah appear on the petition for
incorporation, dated in 1875. His sons,
grandsons and sons-in-laW bought land
near by of Thorndike. Sears Il Prescott,
successors to Gen. knox,. and settled
there. Micajah died in 1925. Notice
of his death, without date, was pub

THE DRINKWATER HISTORY.

John 5. Fernald of Belfast, who is
preparing for publication a genealogy
of the ancestors and descendants of
Micajah DrinkWater, read the follow
ing:
That the name of Drinkwater is both
ancient and honorable is proved conclu-
sively to any one who will trace the
history of the family towards its source
on the eastern side of the Atlantic.
The name was common in England
and Scotland long before the Pilgrim
Fathers set foot in America, and an au-
thentic pedigree shows the descent of
one of the English branches from King
William |, who was crowned in the
year 1866.
Wills disposing of large estates are
recorded in England during the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries. One
is recorded in London dated in 1873;
that of George Drinkwater of Lynn in
1882; of William in 1893; and OF Thomas
of Chester in 1851.
The arms of Drinkwater of Stafford
County, Lancashire, shows that he to
whom it was granted was man OF high
standing at the time. The ''emblaZOn-
ment" is as follows:
''Per pale gules and azure: on Jesse
wavy argent, between CARDS or, as
many billets of the second" The crest
is: 50 ears of wheat, 2 in satire, 1 in
pale, entitled with ducal coronet."
In plain English, the shield is red on
the right and blue on the left as the
shield faces the observer. The sheaves
of wheat are gold, the band across the
centre is silver and the billets thereon
blue.
Painted copies of arms, in possession
of several members of the family, are
said to represent the arms of Hugh
Drinkwater of Aberdeen, Scotland,
granted in 1925. The copy in posses

Discovery.
A. A. BeatOn of Rockland has been
appointed Maine general agent for the
sale of Invictus, said to be the greatest
of all fire extinguishers, which will ex-
tinguish any kind of fire, including OIL
pitch, benzine, varnish, naphtha or gaso-
line Invictus is the new chemical dis
covered by E. F. Hanson, formerly
Jor of Belfast. He organized the
Uronon Fire Resisting company and
some months ago removed from Maine
to Chicago where a large factory has
been built. Their office is SOP Madison
avenue there, and there is also an office
in Belfast. The company was capital
lied in Maine with 1000, 900 capital.
Invictus is a dry chemical powder en-
closed in small metallic tube twenty
two inches long, just the right size to
grasp with the hand. The container is
beautifully autographed in colors and
will not detract from the beauty OF the
finest drawing room or parlor. 1t can
be placed behind curtains, draperies, in
little alcoves, under tables, lounges, etc.
Every sleeping room, every sick room
should, above all places, have tube OF
InvictuS within easy reach.
1t is perfectly harmless to everything
but flames The children may play with
it; it will not harm them in the least.
1t is scientific fire killer that is not
only safe but effective in the hands of a
child old enough to discharge its con-
tents onto the fire. 1t instantly extin-
cuisines the flame with no water damage,
as is caused by liquid chemical extin-
guishers. All that is left after the fire
is out is little dry powder that can be
swept up with broom or feather dust
