"OId Ironsides."

Probably no one in the country is
more surprised at the protests follow
ing his recommendation for the break
ing I'D of the Constitution, the famous
"OId Ironsides' of naval history, than
is Secretary Bonaparte, who in his
recommendation to Congress suggested
that IF for purely sentimental reasons
this supposed veteran of our old wars
is entitled to maritime end, she
might be used as a target for some of
the ships of our North Atlantic fleet
and sunk by their fire.
In reply to the storm of criticism
which followed this suggestion, MI.
Bonaparte declares that there IS as
matter of fact, very little of the oriSi-
nal Constitution left. 1t is, in his mind,
yery much like the boys jackknfe
which had been fitted with two new
handles and three new blades, but still
remained the original knife. Il simply
looked at the practical side of the
case" said Mr.. Bonaparte. So far as
this phase of the case goes there is
little to criticize in the secretary atti-
tude. The criticism he has aroused is
due rather to his failure to recognize
and appreciate its value and the force
of the underlying strain of sentiment
that is characteristic of the American
people. We are often accused of being
without such sentiment, and Of being
SO much engrossed in the excitements
of business and the pursuit of wealth
that we lose sight of the finer feelings
that appeal to the purely sentimental
side of our character. The protests,
however, against the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of ''Old Ironsides' shows that if we are
an intensely practical people, we are. at
the same time. keenly responsive to
all that appeals with especial force to
the sentimental side of our natures.
The fight for the future preservation
of "Old Ironsides" is by no means n
new question, it goes back to the sos.
when the famous old frigate was ap-
parentiy doomed to the junk heap. 1t
was then that Oliver Wendell Holmes
from the Harvard Medical School sent
forth his famous poem:

Old lronsides.

AYE, tear her tattered ensign down,
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rang the battle shout
And burst the lannon's roar,
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.

A writer in the Biddeford Journal
shows in striking manner the growth
of the French Canadian population in
Biddeford. Forty years ago there were
but "a distinctively French names in
the Biddeford directory; in 1886 there
were 957: in 1904 the number had in
creased to 2.351. If the number OF
names in the directory be multiplied by
SR. which is the multiple usually used
by publishers of directories to ascer-
tain the population of city. the
French Canadian population would an
pear to be few hundred more than
9.oco. This would be an under estimate
for the reason that this element of the
population is a most prolific one. No
doubt, the French population is nearer
1000. There are two large parishes
with splendid churches and eight of the
"'ty's 20 clergymen are French Cana
dlans. There are a dozen strong liter
airy. social and fraternal organizations

Six Million Acres Opened.

Austin, Texas, September 1S.-About
six million acres of State lands, situated
in various parts of the State and hereto
fore mostly under lease for cattle graz-
ing purposes, were placed on the market
for actual settlers under law passed by
the last session of the Legislature, to-
day. The cattlemen have been strongly
opposed to the sale of these lands and
predict that the withdrawal of them
from pasture purposes will work great
injury to the cattle industry of this
State. Under the law which goes into
effect to-day, the State lands are to be
sold to actual settlers in tracts of from
one to eight sections. The price is 81 an
acre, payable in DO annual instalments,
with per cent interest. Each pur-
chaser must live upon the land for three
years to acquire title. After the sale of
these lands the State will still own about
l2,OOO,OOO acres, which is under lease to
cattlemen.

such action on my part would be based
on rumors as to their official misconduct
and dishonesty. But do not hesitate to
say, as have said already, that If proof
is produced which will justify me, under
the law, in taking action will act, and
act promptly.
"In reference to the Senator's charges
as to mismanagement as to the conduct
of tho dispensary, have only to say that
the charges he enumerates have been
specifically entrusted by the General
Assembly to the committee for full in
vestigation.
II am Governor of the State and ]
propose to discharge the duties of my
Office in such manner and at such time
as think right and proper:
~ am not unmindful of the impor-
tance of this situation, but I certainly
propose to adhere to my own convictions
as to the proper discharge of my duty"

DECEMBER TwENTY-FouRTH.
The Brotherhood Of Man. John 2:
I'll; 3: 1915. "a Christmas
Missionary MEETING.

Hatred is a sin in itself, and It
speedily leads to other sins; it is a
stumbling and an occasion of stun
bling"
Love is the atmosphere of heaven,
the breath of heavens life. II we
breathe our love, we are living in
heaven.
If all the real murderers were
hanged the gallows would soon be
worn out: for murder is of the de-
sire, not of the deed.
Brothers often have friends that
are nearer to each than his brother.
There is a kinship nearer than that
of the flesh
Brothers have the same home. We
are brothers of all whose home is
heaven.
Brothers do not stop with each op-
portunity for kindness to argue,
This is my brother" And so also
our spiritual brotherhood must be-
come an instinct.
Brothers of the flesh often look
alike; brothers of the spirit see
alike.
Brotherhood is like electric attrac-
tion-not imposed upon us from
without, but law working from
within.
Missions are not brotherhood but
the necessary outgrowth of brother.
hood they are not the fire, they are
the heat
Christmas is the family festival.
When the earth becomes one great
family, we shall keep Christmas
every day.
The fatherhood of God Is the trunk
of the tree of love; the brotherhood
of man is the branches.
Is there any man whom could not
honestly hail as my brother?
What fruits of brotherhood am l
bringing forth?
How can deepen my love for man
kind?
To assert that the law OF brother
ly love is lmpracticable to the needs
of society is simply to deny the very
first law by which society exists.

but as soon as the weather conditions
are favorable for them they multiply
the most rapidly of all the lice family,
and are probably the worst pest that
the poultryman has to contend with.
II Is very much easier to prevent them
from taking possession of the poultry
house than it is to clean them out after
they once get possession.
BY spraying the roosts and drop.
boards every seven days with coal oil
during mild weather they will seldom
ever bother you. But II you neglect to
do this and they get possession, almost
any of the liquid lice paints sold on
the market IL used according TO drec.
tions will drive them away after a
while. But IL not convenient to get
the prepared paint, the following mix
ture will be found very effective: To
one gallon of coal oil add three pounds
of grease, any kind that is most con
venient, and two ounces of either oil of
tar, creolin or crude carbolic acid.
These will all mix together by placing
the dish in which are the materials
into dish of hot water.
Paint the roosts and places where
the lice live with this mixture every
three days. The lice will not stand this
treatment long, as it destroys their eggs
and they will not stay where they can't
breed.-J. Alonzo Jocoy, in the Amer
lean Cutivator.
