70 AN OLD

Your lips, dear girl, were roses,
Your hair was ripened wheat,
The brook forgot his song to hear
The music of your feet.
Your hands were swift white butterflies
Your eyes were wells of blue,
Oh, what a riot in my heart
Was wrought by June and you!
And now for years beneath the grass
Your needless hands have lain,
And recollection wakes in me
A hurt that scarce Is pain.
Asleep with Nature, breast to breast,
How peacefully you lie!
Above your heart the care-free flowers,
And over them-the sky.

"FRENZIED FINANCE"

The serious part remains. Mr.. Law
son may be the most prodigious liar
that ever put pen to paper. His lies
may be like the father that began them
gross as mountain. That is not the
thing which really signifies. People do
not greatly care whether his particular
stories are true-Whether this and that
plunger in the market actually played
the Infamous part alleged; whether
braZen promoters really bought a legis-
lature in the way described; they be-
lieve that other stories of the kind are
the credit of a millionaire turning
is as unmistakable as it will be indel-
ible. That there is class of rich men
who carry into enormous operations
the methods of the sneak thief and the
card sharper; that they rob the widow
and take away the portion of the Or
phan with no more scruple than burg
lar; that honor and good faith are as
unknown among them as among jail
birds-this is the popular conviction
upon which Lawson has SO skillfulIy
played. He has heightened it, but he
did not create it. Now, the existence
of such men is the great social menace.
They are the blacklist embodiment of
that spirit of materialism which fears
not God and regards not man, and
which it is our immense task today to
resist and drive from us, if we would
not see it drag our whole civilization
into the pit.-New York Evening Post.

ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION CLOSED.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. LIST. Ideal early
winter weather, the gates thrown open
to children and those who were worthy
but had been unable to attend from pc
cuniary reasons, crowds pouring
through the turnstiles from the opening
of the gates until far into the day,
marked the last day of the Louisiana
exposition. President David r. Francis
was the guest of honor and ceremonies
were conducted concentrating his
services in making the exposition a
success. And at the same time bidding
farewell to the Worlds fair the mag
nifcence and greatness of which have
been acknowledged throughout the
world.
At the plaza of St. Louis Pres. Fran
els took his place on the north side of
the Louisiana Purchase monument to
deliver his farewell address from the
exact place where we're held the OPEN
ing exercises just seven months ago.
The members of the national commits
sion, the board of lady managers, the
members of the foreign and State com
missions and other notable guests wer-
near the speakers stand. The asseme
blage was called to order by Mayor
Wells. Rev. S. J. Nicolls of the Second
Presbyterian church of st. Louis invok-
ed blessings. Brief addresses were
made by Gov. Dockery in behalf of the
State and Mayor Wells in behalf of the
city of st. Louis. Pres. Francis was in
troduced and delivered his farewell adj
dress. AS he stepped to the front the
assembled thousands cheered.
Drills and concerts and receptions
generally throughout the grounds oc-
cupied the latter part of the day.
Pres. Francis was rendered a general
reception at the house of the board of
lady managers.

She bit her lips with vexation.
"Come," l said, don't let us worry
about destiny or anything else. l will

You must in mercy permit me that, for

you find an additional cousin such a

enough, the rest of the legend came
true, for a distant relative left her a
moderate fortune. The terms of her

woman, Dorothy Clutton, that the
ancient prophecy may be fulfilled, and
l beg that she will employ it as far as
practicable in repurchasing the Clutton

Maine Investments in Cuba.

FAIRFIELD, Me, Dec. 1. Word is
abroad of a recent important deal in
Cuban real estate, in which Fairfield
capitalists are largely interested. E. j..
Lawrence and A. B. Page of this town.
in company with Cyrus w. Davis and
Henry M. Soule, have just bought two
old Spanish estates, comprising $50, 1000
acres of timber and ranch land located
for the greater part in the province of
Puerto Principe. Mr.. Page has recent
!y been in Cuba, examining the land,
timber and business conditions. He
thinks there is the opportunity of a
lifetime for numbering operations on
the recently purchased tract, as there
are vast quantities of mahogany, red
cedar, lignum vitae, and other valuable
woods. The estates will be stocked,
tropical fruits will be raised, and ex-
tensive numbering operations will be
carried on. These capitalists also pro-
pose to establish a banking business.
All this work means new openings for
Ma inc men.

Tested the Wireless.

H. NJ. Bean made an interesting trial
of the wireless telegraphy, while on his
way from New York. He, with Capt.
J. G. Crowley, were on the Fall River
boat two and one-half hours from New
York, when Mr.. Bean decided to give
the wireless try and send telegram
to his son, Robert, here in Camden.
He went into the little wireless tele-
graph office on board the boat and gave
his message to the operator. The mes
sage was received by r. L. Bean here
in Camden in good time. The telegram
went by wireless from the Pilgrim to
one of the stations on shore and then
was sent along here by the usual meth
cd. Mr.. Bean declares that after see
ing this work, it seems to him the most
wonderful of all our modern inven-
tions.-Camden Herald.

Years.
ROCKLAND, Maine, Dec 9 Luther NJ.
Crockett, who had been foreman of the Bod
we'll granite cOmpany'S stone cutting de-
partment at Vinalhaven for IS years. died
today, ageu 63.
He was born in Prospect, Me-, and with
the exception of two years had devoted his
entire lite to the development of the granite
Industry, serving an apprenticeship at Dix
Island. At the age of 10 he went to Vinal-
haven and entered the employ of the late Ex-
Gov BOdWell. In 1868 he went to Nevada,

a territorial commissioner, appointed by
President Lincoln Commissioner Crockett

claimed dead, a position which he held for
two years.
Luthur Crockett returned to Maine in
1865, and after working at the granite trade
in Mt. Waldo and Spruce Head took the I'M
pOrtant position at Vinahaven which he
held to the time of his death.
He was of giant physique and immense
power. In the presence of reliable wit
neSSeS, one of whom was the father of j John
Peirce, the famous New York contractor, he
lifted 1920 pounds. He was also credited
with having done the largest amount of stone
work in three consecutive months of any
man ever employed at the industry in Knox
county. His ability as wrestler was
proven by the fact that he never met his
match among all the husky men under his
supervision.
Mr.. Crockett was one of the oldest mem
bers Of Gen. Berry lodge, X. of F., and had
been Mason 40 years.
He is survived by his wife and three
children. One of the latter is DR.. G. l..
