RICHARD GOLDEN'S NEW PLAY.

Common Sense Bracket" the new
rural comedy in which Henry w. Saw
age will star Richard Golden, is among
the early bookings in this section. The
piece is from the pen of Charles W.
Doty and abounds with those quaint
types to be found in New England
village. Mr.. Golden will portray the
role of down east hotel keeper, man
of the soil, big hearted and with an
inquisitive but kindly interest in his
fellow man. The part is somewhat SINH
lar to ''Old Jed Prouty'' in which Mr..
Golden won fame some years ago. The
locale of Common Sense Bracket is
laid in a small town in Maine and an
interesting circumstance connected
with the second act of the play is that
the opera house shown on the stage is a
facsimile of the town hall in Winthrop,
Maine, where Mr.. Golden first made
his professional appearance in the
early COS. During the course of the
comedy there are introduced the grasp
ing auctioneer of country town; the
rural youth swelled with his Importance
over few visits to the city; the Sunday
school teacher; the village hackman,
who is also leader of the town band and
constable; the hired boy who is stage
struck, and a host of those homely true
characters from every day life so essen
tial in story of heart interest.

The Stranger on the Sill.

Between broad fields of wheat and corn
Is the lowly home where | was born;
The peach tree leans against the wall,
And the WoOdbine wanders over all;
There is the shaded doorway still,
But strangers foot has crossed the sill.
There is the barnard, as of yore,
| can smell the hay from the open door,
And see the busy swallows throng,
And hear the peWee'S mournful song;
But the stranger cOmeS-Oh painful proof
His sheaves are piled to the heated roof.
There is the orchard-the very trees
Where my childhood knew long hours of
ease,
And watched the Shad0wy moments run
Till my life imbibed more shade than sum-
The swing from the bough still sweeps the
air,
But the strangers children are swinging
there.
Oh, We who daily cross the sill,
Step lightly, for love it still;
And when you crowd the old barn caves
Then think what countless harvest sheaveS
Have passed within that scented door
To gladden. eyes that are no more.
Deal kindly with these orchard trees,
And when your children crowd their knees
Their sweetest fruit they shall impart,
As if old memories stirred their heart;
To youthful sport still leave the swing,
And in sweet reverence hold the spring.
The barn, the trees, the brook, the birds,
The meadows with their loving herds,
The woodbine on the cottage wall
My heart still fingers with them all.
Ye strangers on my native sill,
Step lightly, for l love it still.

Whereas, During the summer recess of
Georges River grange, Liberty, the hand OF
Providence has taken from us two OF our
highly esteemed and worthy brothers, DR..
John W. Clough and Joseph Young, and
being DESTROYS of testifying cur respect for
their memory and expressing our heartfelt
sympathy for the two households deprived
by this dispensation of their respective earth
ly heads: therefore, be it
Resolved, That we tende"'N cOndole with
the families of our deceased brothers in
their hour of attliction, and devoutly COM
mend them to Him who looks with plying
eve upon the widow and the fatherless.
Resolved, That in our natural sorrow for
the loss of our worthy brothers we find
consolation in the belief that it is we'll with
them for whom We mourn, and while We
deeply sympathIZe with those who were
bound to them by the nearest and dearest
ties we share with them the hope of a re-
union in better land, where there are no
partingS. and where bliss inetfable precludes
ali tears,
Resolved, That this preamble and re>olu-
tions be spread upon the records of the
grange, IA copy sent to the families of our
deceased brothers, and also to the Bangor
Daily News, Belfast Journal and Rock land

in the midst of impossible conditions,
but rational faith, based upon real
conditions pointing to it as the goal to-
ward which the progress of civilization
is steadily and surely moving.
1t is only the remnants of the print
tive stage of human development still
clinging to mans constitutional make
up, that causes the individual when he
disagrees with his fellow to fly at his
throat. 1t is but a remnant Of barbar-
ism that prompts one when he is chal-
lenged by a quarrel, to feel that his
honor is at stake if he does not fight.
The modern man, on the other hand,
sullies his honor by fighting.
When two disagree, the very last
way in the world to reach an agreement
is to fly at each other. This only wild
ems the breach. The difficulty may be
settled, and a status of circumstances
set up when the stronger overpowers
the weaker, but the right between them
remains unsettled.
The real point of honor when diff
ference arises consists in suppresSing
from quarrel, and talk it over together,
confer as to what their relations call
for that will make right between them.
- eiSy oAO WV duS W. CoLASi AoCAoii-
ally, let it be referred to others who can
exercise calm Judgment upon their re-
lations and determine the right.
This is the modern principle in individ-
ual, social, industrial and civil relations.
1t is our business to live this principle
in all our social, business, industrial
and political relations together in the
community, state and national life.
Yea, more! 1t becomes our business to
have and exercise that confidence in the
integrity of human life, to believe that
the same principle is, in the years to
come, to be applied to the relations be-
tween nations and the same methods
applied in the adjustment of their diff
ferences: that as the world is coming
nearer and nearer together in sympathy
and interest, realizing more and more
the real kinship of all peoples-the good
of all is the good of each-it is recog-
nizing the universal sovereignty of man
in the one human brotherhood, which
must lead on to the federation of the
world, in which the differences will be
merged into the common interest and
the heat of conflict be fused into love
and fraternity.
Thus do we rise from the darkness of
the past and by a supreme act of ration
al faith behold the dawn of the coming
day: "when nation shall not lift up
sword against nation; neither shall
they learn war any more"

The International Peace Congress
which assemblies in Boston this week is
of tremendous significance and of vital
interest to all. The recent announce

tention Of calling another World Peace
Conference is the most noteworthy
event of the day, for it is fraught with
such tremendous and far-reaching pos
sibilities, that before it the most excit-
ing news from the seat of war pales in
to insignificance. Not that it will ac-
complish much, but in that it will con-
stitute another step toward the ulti-
mate goal. In this it makes brighter
the dawn which is prophesy of the COM
ing day, when there shall be:

The same common sense which ap-

piled to international differences settle
them without war. To say that man
kind will not make this application of
good sense would be a very grave i'm
parchment of human integrity. On
the other hand, to he confident that he
will do so is but to express confidence
in the inherent good of humanity, and
