No Place Like Home.

Oh the map is in turmoil
Through these diplomatic games,
And the geographic outlook
Is a Seething mass OF names.
And we don't know what to do
With the talk about Chee-foo
And other points concerned liz this dis
course of
Russian claims.
We talk about Chemulpo
In "a spirit OF dismay-
Ping Yang and TatUn2-kao.
But our thoughts are far away.
There are Ialu and Win
And the Straits OF TSugaru.
And I'm mighty glad I'm living in the
Washington Star. :
The thaw helped out the wells and

Belfast to IsleSbOrO on the ice has

Monhegan sends word that there is

that spring will come.
The Portland Veterans feel that it
was adding insult to injury to offer
them the circus band for Memorial day

A party of a score or so of women at
New Meadows Inn, gave drummer
the time of his life this week. After
their dinner they wanted to play whist
but found they We're one person short.
They captured the drummer and
although he made all kinds of excuses
they kept him playing cards till night.
This Japanese war reminds me-
said an old time Bath sea captain one
day this week "of the earlier times
before Japan was so free with other
nations as she is today. In those days
when a foreign ship entered the Jap
anese ports the captains were obliged
to place his Bible and rudder is charge
of the chief officer of the port and
leave it there until he was ready to sail.
OF course he wouldn't sail without
either and the Japs could easily keep
tabs on the movements of all ships in
, their harbors."
\ Bath man is the possessor of a
valuable rock ruby which came from
the Tcpsham feldspar quarry at Tops
ham few days ago for which he re-
fused ali offer of SIS from a Brunswick
/ jeweler. The stone is of an extremely
dark shade and is said to be a rare
specimen where discovered. 1t is cleft
securely to the mother stone and will
be kept for the present as a souvenir
Several of these rubies. which really
belong to the family of garnets. have
been discovered at this quarry since it
, was opened, the average being about
once in five years although the last ore
before this was about three years.
Beryls have often been found in this
vicinity, some of them being very clear
ana OF excellent quality.

Lewiston Journal: Most of the cities
now raise money for parks as regularly
as they do for highways, many smaller
places have their village improve
ment associations. but the country
town ignores these things that make
for beauty rather than for bread and
butter. One can easily imagine the
stir that would be made and the smiles
that would pass around should any
Maine citizen of a wholly rural town
rise. at the March meeting, to propose
the appropriation of $40 for park pur-
poses. TO be sure, in most of our
Maine towns, the scenery is naturally
beautiful. Just like one big park" is
a frequent exclamation of our summer
visitors. But is it not true that often
times this scenery is marred not i'm
proved by necessary buildings by
raspberry bushes, the nearness OF
dwellings, or signs of human Occu-
pancy? \ row of unsightly sheds or
henhOuses may be of more value i'm the
caring of a living than n row of willows
OF lilacS: but what law is there that
forbids the hiding of these grape-vines
or other shrubbery. which would con-
vert an lmsightly blot on the land
scape into a delight to the eye? And
is not this neglect of, oftimes scorn of.
appearances one of the hidden motives
that drive young people from the
wholesome life of the farm to the
dangers and temptations of the city?
OF course a rural community does not
want the same kind of a park that
City needs. All the residents of Maine
farms have all the fresh air they need.
and can find plenty of running brooks.
singing birds and llowery Wales of
natures own planting. But the term
park improvement means much
more than this. 1t means pleasant
streets. the hiding of unsghtly build
insS by foliage. the adornment of waste
places. Most of the Maine school
houses now are pretty little structures.
but some of them are in surroundings
net quite ideal. There is more than one
neglected graveyard in Maine, too
low be it spOken-and. in short, town
or community property OF all kinds
are not always placed in surroundings
to which every citizen disires to call
strangers attention. The tendency of
the times is towards identifying public
grounds of all kinds. and like all other
movements. it is sure to extend. sooner
or later, to the rural towns. Would it
not be to Names credit if some of her
progressive farmers should start the
work of public rural improvement. A
small appropriation each year,
iUdiciously Invested. would soon sur
round all our schoOlhouses. town
houses. and libraries with beautiful
trees and shrubhery. would make the
public cemeteries as beautiful as small
parks. and doubtless would result in an
increased interest that would line the
highways with trees and surround the
rural churches with beauty.

An ordinance was passed granting the Phoenix Wood and Coal company a franchise to run a switch from the M. & P. track to its wood yard in the southern part of the city.
