Hon. John d. Long spoke on the
subject of resubmission at the Baptist
church in Buckield Sunday evening,
Aug. sd, handling the question in a
conservative manner. He said in sub
stance, that Maine does not want re
submission, the people do not want it,
neither do you here want 1t. Then who
does want it? 1t is the moneyed inter
ests of other States that are ready to
back up their financial interests with
millions if need be.

The members of the State board of
assessors. who have been on tour of
the counties since Aug. 10th, were in
Saeadahoc county last week. MI. Pot
tie. chairman of the board, says that
the condition of the cities and towns in
that county is excellent. Every town
and city has made an increase in valua-
ton. The farming towns show more
live stock than two years ago. and all
the towns will show a reduction in the
municipal Indebtedness and some have
reduced the rate of taxes. In the farm
ing towns the big expenditures outside
Of the schools are going for better roads.
We believe these conditions will be
found to prevail in the State generally.
The State road movement and the WORK
of the improvement societies-may their
plumbers increase-are potent factors IN
promoting increased valuation of real
estate, and the general welfare.

Brothers and sisters clasp their hands,
And gaze on those whom they adore.
Many a weary mile we've come,
And for time left care behind,
To meet in happy childhOOd's home,
Where welcome we are sure to lind.
Queen of the feast is mother dear;
Hardly a. crown of silver has time given !;
But little wrinked is the once fair face.
Long in life's battle hath she striven.
But more are here than in the day
We nestled in the dear old home,
From which, like birds from out their nest,
We, one by one, timidly have flown
New homes to make, cares to assume;
Husbands and wives and children dear;
Yet thong b our homes are far apart.
In heart we're always very near.

HOW NOT TO CHARM HIM.

She railed at the man who had wooed her.. He was not such a man as another man
 was; She scolded him over the teacups and
 when The market went wrong she scolded again: She complained when he smoked, 1t was
 sinful, she said; She complained when he took up his paper
 and read Each day she complained that his love
 had grown cold, And she sighed to be loved asshe loved her
 of old; She envied her nedghbors, and murmured:
 "Ah me! Her husband still loves her! How happy
 I'd be To be loved as she is, to be cherished
 alas! How ou< idols are broken, how soon the
 dreams pass!' Her neighbor. so blessed and so cherished,
 had praise For him that so loved her; in many glad
 ways She showed that she thought him exalted
 and wise; She fiattered him fondly she watched with
 glad eyes To see him approaching, to greet him at
 night; She brought his cigar and she gave him a
 light: When he made mistake, as the wdsest may
 do, It was never his fault that she told him
 she knew. She was satisfied just as he was: she would
 not Have him changed by the very least little
 or jot, And through days that were fair and
 through days that were gray She loved and was loved and went sing
 ing away. There is nothing more sure, more absolute
 than That no woman can scold love into man. --S. E. Riser in Chicago Record Herald.

MONDAY, MARCH ?, 1903.


 The Democrat is not opposed to proper precautions being taken during such crisis as we are now passing through, or at any other time; but it does not think that 1t Is good policy to go around with chips on our should ders. It is always best to lock the barn door before the horse is stolen, but it is hardly wise to fling out the def that the barn door is locked and now do your best. Sometimes lawless- ness is inspired by just such threats. Take the case of Miss Hablitzers put pills in the Washington school. She says there was no trouble in her room until the scholars were given the tip by an article in one of the daily pa pers They were quick to act on the suggestion, and, as the teacher says, ia passing wood team' furnished the remaining link to complete the revolt. By all means let us take precautionary measures, but don't let us provoke or defy those who are inclined to be vicious or lawless.

The statehood fight, after occupying the attention of the senate during the greater portion of the present session, says our Washington correspondent, is virtually concluded, and no statehood legislation will be enacted at this ses- sion of congress. The republican mem- bers, headed by Senator Quay for the statehood advocates and Senator Ald- rich for the opposition, finally agreed upon compromise measure drafted by Senator Spooner, which provided for the admission of Oklahoma as one state. with the provision that Indian Territory should be eventually added thereto, and Arizona and New Mexico rejected by the unanimous vote of a democratic caucus and, while the state hood bill remains the unfinished busi- ness of the senate, the fight has been abandoned. The results of the long contest may be summed up as follows: The educational clause of the immigra- ton bill, which was intended to keep out of the United States the lowest class of immigrants. whose continued arrival operates to keep down wages and lower the standard of living of the American workmen. was defeated. The eight hour labor law has not been voted upon, but still remains under con federation iu committee The tariff

&Sone, with everything he had known about to be left behind, his heart had suddenly grown tender and sore It might be years before he would see the gentle old face again, and at the thought his fingers reached for the letter and drew it out softly and ten- derly. But it was already dark in the hold, and he could not see.
 For moment he stroked it re- morsefully, then he pushed the case aside and groped his way out among the boxes and bales. He would seek the hatchway or some place where there was light enough to read the letter. He must find out what the old mother had to say.
 For an hour there had been the final sounds of departure overhead, but he had not noticed. As he went forward, however, he was conscious of peculiar sensation of rising and falling, which told him that the ship was under way.
 The hatchway was not closed, but even then it would have been too dark but for light somewhere above, which sent dull shaft into the hold. In this he opened the let ter and read:
 Dear Sammy: I'm down with the rheu- mat1cs, and the doctor says twill be a long time fore I'm out. The nabors are good, but they can't leave their own work an do mine. I'm feared, Sammy if you don't come, the farm will have 10 be sold Faint worth much, but can't look out for it any more. But don't feel bad dear boy, if you can come. It's only rheu- matics I've got. Ever your lovin' mother
 The young man choked; there was an unmistakable sob. In moment he had clambered up the hatchway. A few passengers were standing near the rail ~or lounging about, but no officers were in sight. It was nearly dark.
 Slipping back to the stern of the vessel, which was almost deserted, the young man glanced about warily. The wharves were a mile away and were shadowy outlines, but he did not mind that, for he was a strong swimmer and a bold one. What he feared was 8 illustration of the plan which had suddenly formed in his mind.
 No one was watching him, however, and presently grasping rope he swung himself over the side, and from the end of the rope he dropped into the water.
 Two hours later he drew himself up on one of the wharves, nearly ex- hausted, but with look on his face that had not been there for years.
 ''Now for home," he said, aloud; straight for home" Then he disap- peared in the shadow of the great warehouses.N. Y. Times

There is a growing suspicion in the minds of many people that the outgo- ing Speaker Henderson has sold out to the trusts body and brooches, and his actions lately would seem to confirm these suspicious. It is said that he will go to New York, after his retire ment from congress, and enter the practice of law as the attorney for q number of big corporations known all over the country as trusts. Whether he does so or not, he is at present fa- grantly assisting one big trust, the to- bacco trust, in killing some legislation at this session of congress that was aimed at it. The ways and means com mittee of the house unanimously re- ported a bill to compel the tobacco trust to quit putting tags and prizes in their packages of tobacco and ci- garettes and the legislation was in the interest of the independent tobacco manufacturers. Speaker Henderson now refuses to allow the report to come up in the house and will not recognize any member of the ways and means committee for the purpose of making a motion to bring that report before the house. In the meantime man from his home in Dubuque, Ia, has been eat ing with the speaker, living i'll his room at the Capitol anu almost sleeping with him. Whether there is any connection between this fact and the fact that he refuses to allow anything to come up that will hurt the tobacco trust, we cannot say, but people can draw their own conclusions.

GOLD IN HORSES TEETH.
Valuable Equines Are Placed in the Hands of Dentists for Careful
 Treatment.

The latest animal to receive the seri- ous attention of the dentist is the horse. Already quite number of val uable animals, such as racing and trot- ting horses, have had their damaged molars attended to and when they smile display glittering gold teeth.
 An operation in horse dentistry is interesting to witness, says the New York Press. No man has had more ex-s perience in this unique profession than Dr. Maher, who has attended to over 250 cases during the last two years. Let LIS follow the proceedings in the case of racing mare that re- gently arrived at the doctors office to be operated upon. She was put in box stall, and in the passageway outside her door two grooms quickly placed a table with dental instruments dazzling array of nickel-plated tools.
 The dentist in a white coat ap- peared He took up one of the instru- ments. It had an ebony handle and four bars of nickel, working on ratchet, which crossed one another so as to form hollow square that grew, by the turning of a screw, little or big.
 s'This is 8 speculum," said the den- It fitted upon the animals back teeth and held her mouth wide open,. af- fording 8, good view of all that lay within. A groom took hold of the speculum's handle with one hand and of the mares tongue with the other, and the dentist exa mined the damaged teeth.
 "A splinter must come off here," he said, and he took up an instrument two feet long, scissors-shaped, and with cutting edges that were sawlike. This was cutter, a1s1 on being applied to the tooth it snapped off the splinter as though it had been chalk.
 Among the silver glitter of the den- tai instruments on the table, an elec- trio battery buzzed. The con fixed to one of it's wires drill, and instant ly burr of steel upon the end of the drill began to revolve with the cur rents force as fast as circular saw. He applied the drill to the tooth. With a humming sound it dug it's way through the torn enamel, making it in moment quite regular and smooth.
 The dentist cleansed the tooth thor- oughly with hot air blown from a syringe. Then he took up in a.forcips morsel of dental gold. This malleable metal he pounded tight into the cavity and added more and more to it, mold ing the gold as it grew, till finally the tooth had gained its proper size and shape. It was then filed smooth and polished to certain brilliance, and the operation was over.

The Monument Wa. a mi.nt.

A stately granite shaft had been erected in the cemetery of Massa- chusetts town in memory of a man whose life had been anything but praiseworthy. None the less the monument was one of the sights to be shown to stranger, and one day former resident of the town who had been away for many years re- turned and was taken to see the granite obelisk. He was no stranger to the faults and failings of the man whom it eulogized with it's gilded in. scription, and after silent contempla- tion of the shaft on all sides he said:
 @Well, if it's for goodness it's too big, and if it's for badness it's not big enough. .''-New Haven Chronicle.

"General business continues active, : says Banker Clews in his weekly let ter. Liberal increases in railroad earnings. following the phenomenal gains of the past four years, emphati- cally testify to this. The only com plaint heard is the increased cost of doing business and the consequent dimfnution of profits. This complaint is general, not only among individuals, but is shown in the current reports of
 industrials and railroads. An event of much business significance is the estimate of the iron ore producers of an output this year of 34,000,0 ,000 tons, an increase of 5000, GOO tons over last year, and an agreement to advance the prices of ore. There is an immense amount of new iron tonnage in sight, and whether this advance will check the demand or not remains to be seen. With the urgent requirements of the railroads to be met, it seems very prob able that the iron boom may last an other year, surpassing the dreams of the widest esthusiast in it's duration. Speculation promises to run in moder- ate lines for some time to come. Until the absentees return and the April set dement's have been safely passed. no upward movement in stocks can be safely counted upon, and meanwhile we are more likely to witness a down. ward drift.
