Literary News and Notes.

The New England Magazine for De-
cember shows the vigor and raciness of
new management and enterprise.
Many of the articles are on New Eng.
land themes and there are numerous
excellent illustrations. The crisp and
timely comment on affairs in New Eng
land, by "The New Highlander" the
Editors Table, the news and notes of
the National Society of New England

make up a most interesting and in
structive number. America Company,

The December American Boy Is re-
plete with all the enjoyable reading
matter that the boys demand at this
holiday season. There are the con-
Guiding chapters of Mr.. Hawkes. splen-
did animal story, The Tripod Fox, and
of My -Four Years at West Point, the
latter Of which has fired many boys
with patriotic fervor. Mr.. Lisenbee's
story, The Joy Claim, is continued, and
the editor gives another of his boyhood
experiences in Hank and the Walnuts.
A Boys Christmas Gift tells how one
boy brought Christmas joy to a friend
less little girl. When the Dyke Went

rescue from drowning by a COW. In
The Prize Offer Frank H. Sweet tells of
how boy, altho' confined to his bed by

age of boy in order to bring assistance

This does not half tell the story of the
contents of this Christmas number,
which has SO illustrations.
The popular idea of the author por-
trays him seated at desk or writing
table, in the seclusion of a library, or
in some nook especially selected be-
cause of its appropriateness for literary
composition. The real fact is, that
nearly every writer has All industrial
method of his own. Dickens was very
methodical about his work, at a certain
hour he went to his desk, and there he
remained certain set period, whether
the inspiration to work came to him or
not. Meanwhile he spent the time
scribling on the sheets OF paper before
him. The venerable Edward Everett
Hale, one of the most interchangeable
literary workers of the day, works
everywhere and anywhere. He wrote
uluCu VI Ills Lowell dllu illo Il IlCuOS,
while waiting for trains in railway
stations, on his lecturing trips. Joel
Chandler Harris has no settled library,
no definite desk, no special place for
work. He writes call over the house,"
wherever and whenever the mood or
the idea confronts him, and this &C
counts for much of the freedom and
spontaneity of his work. The histories
of literary workers are full of quaint
accounts of the conditions under which
they work. Naturally, women authors
are quite notable for doing their writ
ing on pad held in the lap-after the
immemorable custom of women since
they began to write.

Passing of the Pensioners.

F. w. Brown, Esq, Of Brooks, says
in the last issue of the Waldo County
Advocate:
Last Monday was pension day and
we executed 26 pension vouchers. The
pensioners are fast passing away. Only
a few years ago there was about fifty
vouchers we executed each quarter. We
miss many familiar faces from among
them, but none more SO than the al
ways pleasant and smiling countenance
of Aunt" Nancy Roberts. We had
executed her vouchers for about 10
years, but last summer she passed over
the river and went to meet the spirit of
her soldier husband who starved to
death in rebel prison, and to whose
memory she was always faithful, for
she died his widow although forty-one
years interviewed between the dates of
their deaths. Don't you think she de-
served the small pension his country
gave her?

The NEW RAILWAY TERMINAL.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOUR-
NAL: Suggestions and opinions hav-
ing been called for concerning the
changing of the name of Stockton
Springs to Port Waldo or Port Penob-
scot, or something else still more
appropriate, we, the natives of that lit
tie town, feel prompted to respond,
/ though we do not wish to seem too
otficious in the matter.
1t would seem as if either of the
above suggested names might give rise
to confusion or misunderstanding, from
the fact that the town of Waldo is only
a few miles away, joining Belfast on
the northwest; and the town of Penob-
scot lies just across the river from
Stockton. Each of these towns have
borne their respective names for very
long time, and neither would be ready
for radical change, nor could it be
annexed. Why not call it Port Stock
ton, leaving off the Springs, which
never meant anything and only added
length instead of strength to the name?
If the object of the change is to get all
of the Terminal in one town, or under
one name, it will call for concessions
from one or both of the towns. This
object could be attained by changing
the western boundary of Stockton so it
would be continuous straight line
with the western boundary of Prospect,
the same as it is and always has been,
to point nearly one and half miles
south of the southwest corner of Pros
pect and the northwest corner of Stock
ton. This would strike the shore at
Mack's Point little west of the docks
and coal pockets, and thereby place all
of the Terminal in one town. This
would, OF course, meet with stong op-
position from Searsport, as it wouldsbe
shifting to another town miles of her
shore front that lies between Stockton
and the bay. This strip of territory,
which extends nearly to Stockton vii
lage, became part of Searsport when
that town was set off from Belfast and
Prospect in 1915, and has always re-
manned SO. Had Stockton been set off
from Prospect at the same time, in
stead of twelve years later, it might,
perhaps, have been different, and the
whole harbor been placed in one towu
with a straight line for boundary
However it, is to he hOned that what
ever changes of names or boundaries
may be called for from the next, or any
succeeding session Of the legislature,
will be settled in the interest of those
most concerned in the future growth of
that section, and to the satisfaction of
the public. 1t is to be hoped, also, that
nothing will ever come up to disturb
that old friendly relation that has al
ways existed between the two towns,
and that they will 60 on as one in the
! rapid growth and great prosperity
promised to them. On.

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE QUESTION

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
The increasing attention given to the
subject of a suitable name for the
Northern Maine Seaport Railway
Terminal leads the present writer to
avail himself of your courteous invita-
ton, and, with all seriousness, ask one
pertinent question, namely-1s not the
Seaport Terminal already named?
A careful examination of any govern
ment chart of Penobscot bay, a con-
temptation of the maritime activity at
the Terminal, SURPRISING any thing ever
seen at any point between Bangor and
Rockland; and consideration of such
other utilitarian features as relate to
the matter combine to force the con-
viction upon the candid observer that
the Terminus is already adequately
named and that current discussions are,
in reality, concerning the changing of
the present name One is thus moved
to inquire from whence arises this de-
mand for change? Can it be from the
railroad officials? Obviously not, just
at this juncture when every energy is
being turned to the problem of moving
freight. Can it be from the owners
and masters of vessels? 1t is hardly
probable shat any general feeling exists
except the perennial desire for good
freights, quick dispatch and safe har-
Dor. In this matter the office of the
U. S. C. & G. Survey is undoubtedly
quite disinterested. And of course t
is not to be supposed that the inhabi-
tants of the town of Stockton Springs
advocate any change. Moreover their
capacity for such folly was exhausted
some years ago when they acquired
their Springs"
This process of elimination leaves
but one logical source of the name
changing propaganda, and with this
of a normal expression of native in
stinct.
Man dearly loves a precedent, and
such is not wanting in this case. Con-
slider, if you please, the reported ma
rine arrivals at New York which may
be locked at several places in New
Jersey or in Brooklyn, until recent
years separate municipality.
Too great to be resisted is the incl
nation to ask right here, why not
ignore the rights of priority and sug-
gest Port Hudson" Port Emigrant,"
or 'Tammany Haven" in place of such
an insufficient name as New York;"
If the practical demands of the Ter
minal situation are satisfied by the
present long existing and widely known
name, what valid reason can be adduc-
ed for an alteration other than senti
ment? Granting the potency of senti-
ment as factor in human affairs, what
ground is there for demanding, in this
instance, the sacrifice of the sentiment
of the people in possession to crafty
that of another community? If the
Light House Board establishes new
station on Squaw Point it may with all
reason be designated "Cape Jellison
Light" and if in the course of human
events it appears expedient to make
change, what can be more logical and
less confusing than Port Jellison.
When President Cram of the Seaport
railway promulgates an opinion that
the interests of his great enterprise
would be better subserved by new
name, then will it be the duty of every
one to give hearty acquiescence, but
until that time this question should
rest more lightly on mems souls.

ESTIMATES FOR PANAMA CANAL
Congress VIII he Asked to Appro-
pirate $4,000, 900 for Work
on IsthmuE.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2o.-An estimate of
S16 100000 for continuing work on the PAN
anna canal has been sent to the Treasury
department from the War department to
be sent TO congress.
The estimate of 900 is for expoudi.
ture up TO and including the fiscal year
ending June 81 lSOf. = part of this money
will be necessary at once and an emer-
gency appropriation will be asked for
as soon as congress convenes in order that
the work may proceed.
II is stated at the offices of the commits
sion today that unless money is provided
as soon as congress convenes all the work
must cease. All estimates were made with
out regard to the proposal to issue bonds.
Advocates Of a lock canal have not yet
despaired of securing the construction of
such a canal Notwithstanding the fact that
the consulting engineers have decided in
favor of a sea level canal 1t is pointed out
that the final decision rests with the presi-
dent and that the matter of time and ex-
pense will be considered by him very care
fully. 1t is also known that the president
Is very anxious tn have the work COM
pleted at an early date, and for that reason
he is believed to favor a lock canal. A
strong minority report in favor of lock
canal will be made by the five engineers
who disagreed with the majority.
