Reflections of a Bachelor.
(NeW York Press.)

(New York Press.)
Money is just a Splinter, going a
short ways but very fast.
1t is very common of a woman to
bleach her hair when washing" it will
get the same effect,
A woman always thinks she could
save a great deal of money if the man
who earns it for her spent less.
Somehow a widow seems to be able to
read the size Of a mans bank account
right through the cloth over the breast
pocket where he carries his check book.
Marriage would not be such failure
as it is if women could understand that
there are occasions when it would be
very unnatural if man did not try to
put his cravat in his trousers stretcher
at o'clock in the morning.

LIGHT AND AIRY.
Two Little Words.

Two little words, each four letters long.
And what in the world do they mean?
Deadly war and delightful song
And all that there is between:
Two little words of a syllable each.
And what do they mean to man?
All that we teach and all that we preach
And all of the things We plan.
two little words that all Of us know,
Two wonderful words alone
That may plunge a man in the depths OF
woe
Or make the whole world his own:
Two little words. and what may they be
They reach to heaven from hell.
And one of these words is LOVE,
And one is Girl.

Maine Boys for Oxford.

Although i'll a general way everybody
understands the conditions under
which a limited number OF American
college men are to enjoy a course at
Oxford University, England, as re-
suit of scholarships founded by the
late Cecil Rhodes. there mas been,
nevertheless, great amount of misun-
dcrstanGing regarding some of the inn
portant details Of the plan. This paper.
2long with most others. has been guilty
OF spreading misinfOrmation in this
matter; and was wrong when it stated,
yesterday, in connection with the
examination Of candidates under
progress at the State House. that two
young men We're 10 be appointed, this
year, and one young man each year
hereafter.
As matter Of fact, only one of the
candidates will be selected this year.
and another will be selected next year,
as result of examinations then to be

nation, and no selection, but in 1907
the young man selected this year will
have enjoyed his three years course
at oxford. and another examination
will then be held, and another student
sent over to take his place. That is to
say, Maine. in common with each of the
other states is given the privilege of
having two students at oxford Uni
versity. Their course there will be for
the scholarships founded by Mr..
Rhodes. each is allowed $500 yearly to
Iecray expenses. The idea that one
student VIII he sent each year is there
fore wrong. and equally unfounded was
the announcement that two are to be
| selected, this year, or in future years.
As the result Of an arrangement en-
tered into by the four Maine colleges
these institutions are to alternate in

it will again be Bowdoin's turn to send
a representative.

will send a student every sixth year.

it came the turn of one of the colleges

PASSING of the Old Time Fourth.
Uath independently


The old time Fourth of July celebra-
ton is fast becoming thing of the
past. Most Maine cities have let it go
Dy nearly every year of late and about
the only one to follow the custom has
been Portland. Now comes the news
that Portland has decided to pass it
this year and the reason for so doing is
that so many people prefer to go to the
resorts, in the close proximity to the
city, that the celebrations are not as
successful as they were years ago. The
same condition of things applies to
many other Maine places and it is just
as well. The noise and bang of Fourth
of July is out of place in these modern
times and the killing of several hun
dred people. throughout the country,
every Fourth by the discharge of fire
crackers and other dangerous eX
plosives may as well be stopped.
Maine people can find enough better
ways to enjoy the Fourth and we are
glad to see that they are changing the
habit from a celebration fit only for a
band of Indians to one more fitting to
civilized conditions.
