! story of the exclamation of Pare's body
in the course o. the collection ct
evidence for the second trial of Alex
anGer Terrio Was "grueSome enough
for the most hopelessly morbid student
OF newspaper senSatiOnalism, our
Lewiston namesake says: Sorry to
have shocked the tender sensibilities
of our placid Biddeford brother, bur
facts are facts, and if Mr.. Terrio has
been unjustly imprisoned and sub
jected TO unwarranted cOntumely he
has a right to have every detail of the
evidence of his Innocence adduced,
even at the risk of nerves on the Saco.'
Our contemporary labors under Il mis-
apprehension. The tender sensibilities
of the "Biddeford brother" We're not
shocked, for Il shock is something that
comes unexpectedly. 1t was mighty
good story from newspaper stand
point bur it would have been better if
chloride of lime had been sprinkled on
the minor details.
A Word to Fathers.
CBangOr NewsD
On the whole, it seems to us that the
| best thing fathers of nice young girls
can do is to get new carpets and coal
stoves for the parlOrs and have things
looking cosy and inviting, so when the
young men call around they will wish
to stay longer. Nice young men are
about the incest things there are in
this wOrld-always excepting nice
young girls. Let every father cultivate
the nice young men in his neighbour
hood. No matter if they are rot rich.
No matter if they have no hopes OF
becoming milliOnaires or congressman.
SO long as the young men are honest
and true and willing to work, they are
worth looking after and winning. For
the very best thing nice girl can have
in this world is Il nice young man who
loves her and is willing to protect her
and if needs be-die for her.

The pleasures of a Maine winter are

Nelow atmosphere one gets much more

This accounts for the fact that Il big

Above Money Considerations.
OSiddefOrd Journal)
A suggestive feature of the situation
les in the fact that President Hydc's
ecisiOn to remain at the head of
:owdon indicates that he holds his
'ork and influence above mere
ecuniary considerations. as his salary
mounts to but a small part of the
UNI which his ability and energy
would command in some other more
iberally endowed institution.
Eternal Vigi!ence Necessary.
(Waterville Mail)
Although very little has been said
bout it publicly. the fact remains
hat there are cases of smallpox in
everal towns that are close neighbors
Waterville, and while there is no
'eed of being alarmed about the mat
er. it is well for the health authori-
les and for people in general to use
II possible precautions against the
Introduction of the disease here. 1t
asn't proved very dangerous in Maine
communities of late but it is a very
nwelcOme and uncomfortable and ex-
nnsive visitor for all that.
