MELODRAMA IN REAL LIFE.
Unfnithful wife swoona ~ ReeoEnis-
ina Former Husband On Per-
sen Of Dead Monk.

A story which might form the basis
OF a stirring m~elodrama has Just been
enacted In the Roumanian village Of
Lahonigra. on the Hungarian frontier.
Barika Vastly. the wife Of peasant,
on going out into the garden. found the
dead body Of a monk beneath a rose
tree. On loozing at the features she
swooned. discovering that the man was
her hrst husband. Nicolal Macedon-
The two had married very young. the
girl against her will under pressure from
her parents. A child was born. and the
mother. whose life was despaired Of,
confessed to inadelity. She recovered,
however, and her husband forgave her.
( Soon afterward the child disappeared,
and could not be found.
Twenty years later a young monk en-
tered the house. He was the missing
child. who. 1t ~transpired, had been
stolen by his mothers lover and edu-
Gated. On learning this. the husband
resigned all claims upon his wife, and
entered the Greek monastery at Noun
tain Athos.
While in a feeble state Of health he
left the monastery and wandered back
home to die. In the meantime his wife
had married her lover.
It's often hard work to collect q
debt Of gratitude.
It is mere contrast that makes some
mel seem great.
Smoke sometimes comes In volumes
as well as books.
A KensIngtOn dealer advertlses his
shoes ct 81 Q foot.
A girl is never really Ia love unless
she lOOses her appetite.
Even in blue blood you will often
hnd q streak Of yellow.
The pangs Of conscience may often
arise from an overloaded stomach.

With the services Of . mOther-in-laW
The man who puts his best foot for
ward is the one who gets there with
both feet.

Correspondence.
The Robin.
WEST FRANKLIN, J

WEST FRANKLIN, July 8, 1903.
To the Editor of The american:
In your issue OF July 1. the communics-
ton from e. W. Wooster, South Han
cock, will at least command the respect, if
not the approval, of the readers.
He begins by saying that the birds mot
robinsl destroyed 20 per cent. wholly. OF
the remaining 10 per cent. about 1 X per
cent. were one-half destroyed, and the
remaining Sh per cent. were consider
ably damaged. He winds up by saying
that they had virtually destroyed them all.
He estimates that 70 per cent. were de-
stroyed by robins and Is per cent. by
cherry birds, which is % per cent. more
favorable to the robin than ever before,
Such condition is depiorable and would
cause many men of less determination
than himself to gut the business.
If he wishes to argue that the cherry
bird is a strawberry destroyer l am with
him heart and hand. / think they are
the fruit growers greatest enemy. They
are persistent destroyer of the straw
berry and think 80 per cent. of the de-
struction can be laid to this bird.
In another column is copy OF an ex-
tract OF a letter written to the Commercial
Farmer and Villager, reciting the "de
plorable conditions OF things owing to
the drouth and great scarcity of farm
help.
Why this confusion. One communica-
ton calls for help to pick his berries, an
other says that the birds are destroying
them all.
still stand with the best aut horities in
maintaining that the robin is a useful
bird, favorable to the agricultural interests
of Hancock county. c. E. BUTLER.

sauteIle,s Circus Attached.


Attachments amounting to s3S 900 were
put on the personal property, tents etc.
of Sautelle's circus at Calais Sunday by
the sheriff of Washington county.
The action was brought by twenty per-
sons, who we're injured by the collapse of
the main tent in Machiss during the wind
storm last Thursday. The plaintiffs have
brought suit for from 200 to g, 900 EACH
Tine circus has retained A. d. McFauI
and j. F. Lynch, OF Mschias, and g. A.
Curran, of Calais.
Arrangements were made whereby q
deputy will accompany the show on its
Maine tour.
The managers OF the show will deny all
liability. They say that the wind came
up 30 suddenly it was impossible TO
avert the accident. They assert that the
tents were made for showing in the West
and we're what is known as wind pr Dof
tents. Every precaution was taken to
prevent an accident. They express
determination to fight the suits to a
finish.

Recognizing the Postal Service.

INT OCE1I sffN1Nt-
Postmaster-General Payne, acting
on the advice of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow, has
taken the first step towards the re-
organization of the postal service.
Ithas been definitely announced that
hereafter the existence of congress
sional districts will be ignored in the
establishment of rural free delivery
routes, and that such routes will be
established only where they viii serve
at least 100 persons and cover an
approximate distance Of twenty-fv
miles.
1t is stated that the establish
ment of routes, irrespective of
whether the conditions justified it or
not, has grown into a grave abuse,
threatening the entire business ad-
ministration of the postoffice depart
ment, and this statement is more than
borne out by the deficit of the pre-
yious year which has been nearly
doubled, the total for this year being
s4,617, 203.
The chief subjects now under inves-
tigation by Mr.. Bristow are the con-
tract for sheet iron letter boxes,
which have been substituted for the
old-fashioned cast-iron boxes, the
painting of these boxes with patent
aluminium" paint, and the General
Manifolding Co., which sells upwards
of s4o0, 900 worth of duplicating paper
to the government each year, about
half that amount being bought by the
postoffice department.
