Peace on Earth.


Cannot the parents who are estrang-
ed from their children realize that the
years are very few in which it is pos
sible for them to have Christmas rec
onciliations? When a child despises a
parent, living or dead, that child must
suffer the most awful agonies that can
ever come to human being this side
of the grave. Bear, forbear, forgive
and be forgiven are the teachings. ION

Before the next Christmas comes

Family dissensions should cease and
Immediately cease. Why? Because
Christmas opportunities of future fam
lily reconciliations may be very few.
They may never come again. We are
intensely shocked at the sudden depar-
lures of our great men and women.
When Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker of the
Salvation Army was killed on Oct. %
in a railroad accident the news was
telegraphed from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. We commented upon the beau
tiful coffin plate which we saw and
read thus: Born June 8, 1860. Consul
Emma Booth-Tucker; Promoted to Clio
~ Oct. %. 1908" We were intensely
| shocked when King Humbert was shot
and when President Carnot was assas-
sinated with a knife thrust. But why
] should we be so shocked at the sudden
[ death of this man or that. as with the
! tremendous emigration of vast host
! each year from earth into the realm
beyond the grave? This is not a plati-
tude. a purposeless saying. 1t is a
statement which ought to be pregnant
with the most tremendous import to us
all. Can any here be sure that before
another Christmas rolls around the
death angels wing will not have flut-
tered over our beds?
Oh. my friends. If we are ever going
TO have Christmas reconciliations we
had better have them now. Human

Of the many clever child artists be-
fore the public today there are few that
can equal the little girl to be seen with
the big scenic production of "Ten

at the Opera house today, afternoon
and evening by the Wilson company.
She is the daughter of the manager,
j. Ross Wilson and is only seven years
old. The part of Little Mary" calls
for the delivery of more than 1000 lines
and it would tax the capabilities of an
adult to memorize them, but this little
tot not only speaks every line intelli-
gently but shows marked dramatic
ability. She is not only clever little
actress but is an accomplished vocalist
and dancer. For the past few months
she has been under the tutelage of
noted teacher and she will be seen in
pleasing songs and dances. Her first
appearance was made two years ago
when she played the role of Eva, in
Uncle Toms Cabin. She comes ma
turally by her talent as she was prac-
tically born in the profession and has
been on the stage almost since her
birth. At the matinee performance
pictures of the little artist will be pre-
scented to every lady and child present.

There has been turned into the State

licenses and fines. The greater part of
this comes from the sale of licenses to

Nova Scotia to Maine and handled by oul
dealers in Portland and Rockland. The
total ca ch of Holsters for 1903 falls behind
that of 1902 by 69O,G50 Holsters, but the
value of catch falls short only $6,6l2, the
reason for which is a higher average price
MI Nickerson had the following to say
"The difference in the total catch is ac-
counted for by losses of gear and pots
during the many severe storms which
have visited our State reducing the num-
Der of pots considerably. so that when the
average catch to each pot is calculated
it is found that the average number of
Holsters caught by each pot, will come
fully up to 1902, therefore we are led tC
believe that the Holsters on the coast OF
Maine are as plentiful as in past years.
The Lobster Meat Bill which was enacted
by our last legislature has had a good
effect, and | believe that part of the VIC
lations in this branch have stopped on
account of this law. In no one year dur
ing my administration have there been
so many fines collected or so many VIC
Iators found as during the past year, more
than $500 being collected, most of which
