The Hyde Light Guards arrived home,
last evening at O'clock, from Birch
Point, ana captain kimball and the Off
GERS ana every member of the company
were more than pleased with the trip.
While at the point there were drills III
pitching and striking tents. guard duty
md skrmish drills On account of the
lamp ground, the boys passed the night
in one of the rooms at the Hotel Birch
wood, which was kindly offered by DR..
r. r. BiDber The company enjoyed reg
ular army rations during their stay, with
the exception of Sunday dinner, when
Look Mcfarland offered large dish of
aiams, which were thoroughly relished.
The baked beans breakfast, Sunday
morning, was treat and the boys voted
Mcfarland an extra good cook. The
march home occupied just a tritlc ovcl
two hours. The first hour covered four
miles, which is good work in heavy
marching order. The next trip will prob
ably be to Popham, going down on q
steamer, Saturday afternoon, and re
manning until Monday morning, giving
two nights in camp. This does away with
the marching and gives more time for
drilling.-Bath Times.

A Song of Long Ago.

A song of long ago
Sing it lightly, sing it low
Sing it softly like the lisping of the lips;
we used to know
When our baby laughter spilled
From the hearts forever filled
With the music sweet as robin ever
trilled.
Let the fragrant summer breeze,
And the leaves of locust trees.
And the apple buds and blossoms and the
wings of honey bees,
All palpitatc with glec,
Till tine happy harmony
Brings back each childish joy to you and
me.
ct the eyes of fancy turn
Where the tumbled pippins burn.
Like cmbcrs in the orchards lap of
touSled grass and fern;
And let the maynard wind,
Still singing, plod behind
The cider press-the good, old fashioned
kind,
Blend in the song the moan
OF the dove that grieveS alone,
And the wild whirr of the locust and the
BUNDLES drowsy drone;
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars when all
The landscape faints away at evenfall.
Then. far away and clear
Through the dusty atmosphere.
Let the waiiing of the kildee be the only
sound YOU hear
Oh, sweet and sad and low
AS the memory may know
Is the glad pathetic song of Long Ago.

New Jersey had an interesting
celebration, last Saturday, of the 18th
anniversary of the battle of Monmouth.
There was a large body of state troops
on the field, as large as the combined
American and British forces at the
battle, and they had a sham battle
with the evolutions of both armies
repeated in realistic fashion. While as
a military achievement the battle of
Monmouth was of less Importance than
many other engagements of the
Revolution, it's moral effect was
enormous and there We're few events OF
the long struggle more calculated to
stir the imagination. 1t came on the
heels of the awful winter at Valley
Forge and the victory, snatched from
defeat by Washington's heroic spirit
aroused anew the fires of patriotism and
gave a winning impulse to the struggle
for Independence. 1t was in this battle
that Washington's scorn and fury
against the retreating Lee resulted il
some of the most vigorous and effec'
tive profanity that any battlefield ever
heard. Lafayette himself heard it and
put it on record. 1t was at Monmouth
also that the immortal Molly Pitcher
carried water to the fighting soldiers
and then welded the ramrod that fel
from the hands of her husband, thu
wounded cannoneer. She lives on tn
monument that marks the battlefield
and was not forgotten by Saturday,
orator 1t was a Maine man, by tn
way, General Knox, who commanded
the artillery in that battle.

Yale won all the three boat races
with IIarvard-eight-o Dared. four-oared
and freshmen-and Cornell did tho
same on the Hudson against the crews
from Columbia. Pennsylvania, SYRIA
cuse, Wisconsin and Georgetown. 1t
seems pity. from the point of view of
those who like to see championships
{ :hnitely settled, that Yale and Cornell
crews cannot meet There would be
some royal races, beyond a doubt, and
one mans guess at the result is about
az good as another's. But the idea of
more than one hard four-mile race in
n season is not relished by most col
lege crews. and then it must be adj
mitted that Yale and Harvard are ex-
ceedingly unwilling to meet Cornell
oarsmen. When such meetings have
taken place in the past the victory has
uniformly been with the Cornell boys,
and so the New Haven and Cambridge
collegians prefer to regard their dual
race as the one great aquatic event of
the college year and ignore the Itha-
cans.

The action of the Iowa Democratic
convention, last week. in refusing to
affirm the Kansas City platform is
not of great consequence in itself, for
the Iowa Democracy doesn't cut much
of d figure at election time, but it is
important as showing the western drift
away from the Nebraska leader. In
spite of its large Republican majori-
tics, Iowa has been a favorite field for
the propagation of flim-nam political
doctrines. The Grcenbackers polled
a large vote there and then fused
with the Democrats. The Popu-
lists later did the same thing,
but the action of the Democratic
convention, last week, dissolves
the fusion and now it will be of
interest 10 see what Bryan will do with
his Iowa followers.

For the year from July 1, 1902, to July
/. 1903, it is figured up that Andrew
Carnegie has given an aggregate OF
SIG. 679, 900 to 15S libraries. That Is q
princely sum and it is used in philan-
thropy which is of inestimable benefit
to the American people. But since Mr..
Carnegie's income is from $lo,O0o,ooo 10
500, 600, 900 yearly that leaves a pretty
big surplus, considering that he IS
making every effort to escape the dis
grace of dying rich.

Cured by the use Of Kodol are received daily.
Their troubles nearly all begin with indiges-
ton or other stomach disorder.
If the food you eat fails to give strength
to your body, 1t Is because the juices Sc
creted by the stomach and digestive organs
are inadequate to transform the nutrient prop
critics of the food into blood. That Is
indigestion. The system Is deprived of the
amount of nourishment required to keep up
the strength, and the result is that one or
more of the delicate organs gradually grows
weak, and then weaker. until finally it is
diseased. Here great mistake Is made.
That of treating the diseased organ. The
