And croaked aloud. croaked he:
I'm tired OF banking work: I'm tired.

''I'il stop this rocking all day long.
With greenbacks all around"
And then he left the bank and walked

The birds to float and swim
Said Mr.. Frog: I'm teach the birds
To dive and swim. no doubt.
And you can float and swim as well.

They built a bath house large and bright
Down by a running stream
And hung up piacards all around
To advertise the scheme.

With oriole and jay,
And all were entered on the books

And saw the birds there flying.
Then whined this very sad refrains

His brain grew tired. and, dreaming,
He dreamed OF artificial wings
And locomotor scheming.

Them TO his front paws straightway.

Upon his tail for steering.
Then climbed he high upon roof,

Then sprang eight feet into the air
And came down gracefully.

noxious weeds and brush growing along
the sides of the highway fronting his
lands, at least twice in each year, once
before the first day Of July, and again
before the first day of September" II
this is not done by the owner provision
is made for having it done, the cost ''to
be levied against such delinquent own
er and added to his highway tax for the
next ensuing year" The owners of
land must cut the weeds and brush in
addition to paying the cash tax assessed
against them. That this work is neces-
sary, and should be done, there can be
no question. The weeds which grow
up by the roadside are not only I'M
slightly but unless destroyed their seeds
are scattered upon the land adjacent.
In this city many in caring for their
lawns have gone to the travelled way
thus adding much to the appearance of
the street as we'll as to their own places.
But in other sections the weeds are al
lowed to grow undisturbed until they
encroach upon the sidewalks and be-
come nuisance as well as an offence
to the eye. The throwing of waste pa
per into the streets, a most reprehen-
sible practice, has been generally dis
continued. Now we should like to see
concerted effort to get rid of the
weeds and brush on the sides of the
streets and highways

The names of Theodore Roosevelt
and Charles W. Fairbanks were placed
at the head of our columns last week
as the Republican candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President. The head of
the ticket needs no introduction to our
readers or to the people of this country.
In the many phases of his strenuous
life the unanimous verdict has been,
well done" He is an American of
Americans. MI Roosevelt's associate
on the ticket is not so generally known.
Senator Fairbanks. lis in his fifty-third
year He IS native of Ohio and a
lawyer by profession, but it was by his
activity in Indiana politics that he first
made himself known. He was temper
airy chairman OF the Republican Ma
tional Convention il 1896. was elected
senator from Indiana in the following
year, and was reelected last year.
President Mckinley appointed him one
of the United States commissioners on
mission, and he was made president of
the American branch of the commits
sion. In 1900 Senator Fairbanks was
the Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions of the National Republi-
can Convention. He was even before
his nomination regarded as a factor of
no little consequence in politics, partly,
no doubt, because of the strategic i'm
portance from a political point of view
of the State he represents in the Senate.

obtained from the prolonged tests made
with volunteer employees who constitu-

to use borax in food articles intended
for common and continuous use. At
all events, adds the report, the quantity
and character of the preservatives used
should be plainly marked.

Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Harry Lutz
officiating.

AlOnzo A. Brown, one of the best-known
and most highly respected citizens of Lib
erty, died at his home in that town June
21st, after an illness extending over nearly
two years. Mr.. Brown was born in Mont
vile April %, 1912, and lived there until
his marriage to Miss Caroline KnowltOn of
Liberty nearly 40 years ago. He then
moved to Liberty and it had been his home
since. He served A years in the Civil war,
member of Co. H., Sth Me. Regiment,
entering as private, but was promoted to
LIST Lieutenant. He contracted malarial
poisoning while in the service, which his
physicians unite in saying was the pri-
mary cause of his death. He served as Sc
lectman years, collector of taxes for sew
eral years, and represented the town in the
Legislature of 1882. He was always a
straightforward Republican. He was a
member of Liberty Lodge, F. A. NJ. also of
Georges R. A. Chapter. He is survived by
a widow, one son, Harry, superintendent
of schools in Liberty and sophomore in
Bates College, and a daughter, Mary, who is
a teacher in the Liberty schools. One child
died in infancy. With the going out of Mr..
Brown the people Of Liberty feel that they
have sustained personal loss, as he was
always ready to extend a helping hand to
those in need or to further any plans for
the towns prosperity. 1t will be long be-
fore his place is filled. The funeral ser
vices were held at his home Wednesday at
ternoon, June 22nd, conducted by Rev. II.
W. Abbott of Palermo. The interment
was in the village cemetery, 1t seemed
curious coincidence that Mr.. Browns death
should have occurred on the 10Th anniyer-
sary of his fathers, and at nearly the same
hour

! The Ring i'll politics is chiefly valu-

The ring in politics is chiefly valuable
in two particulars" says the Machias
Union of June 2lst. Then follows in
both papers an editorial of over a col
umn identical in wording and under
the same caption, THE Ring" in Poll
ties. We suppose that, following the
general custom of country weeklies, the
Union is printed the day before it's date
so that the publication of this editorial
in the two papers is practically stimuli
taneous. Is W. R. Pattangall, editor
of the Union and Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the 4th district,

bination supplying ammunition to the
Democratic newspapers of the State.
Some time ago a controversy arose
as to which Maine paper was the first
to employ special illustrator, and we
think The Journal made good its claim
to that distinction. w. H. Simpson,
the editor and proprietor at that time,
secured the services of P. A. Sanborn,
a well known artist, who made many
excellent wood engravings of local in
terest. The half-tone process was then
unknown. But there can be no ques-
ton as to the Maine paper first to en-
ploy cartoonist. That distinction be-
longs to the Rockland Opinion; and the
volume recently issued of the cartoons
which have appeared in that paper the
past few years, is creditable alike to the
artist and to the Opinions job depart
ment. The artist is Herman Howard,
and his cartoons are still appearing in
the Opinion, and are as effective in
their way as the vigorous editorials OF
the editor, the original and only Oliver
Otis.
