Did Miss Vanjohn walk up that

noon Augustus Chopleigh, Jr., met her
at the top of it. 1t was rather an odd

the son Of an equally well-known colo

! explain it:
"Oh, Gus! begin to feel so awfully
guilty, meeting you like this. Why
! can't we love each other openly?
There's nothing to be ashamed of in it.
Why, my dear Gus, your father is In
love with me-"
by Jove, Mile, it's no laughing
matter-that it isn't. A mans father

That evening Mr.. Gus appeared at

WALDO COUNTY CROP REPORTS.

The September Bulletin of the Maine
Department of Agriculture is devoted
, to the construction and ventilation of
farm buildings, summary of crop re-
ports, and correspondence from the
counties. Following is the summary
of crop reports:
| WALDO COUNTY. Amount of apple
crop, Al per cent. Condition of sweet
corn, generally good. On dry lana the
potato crop has been damaged some
what by the drought. No serious in
jury from blight is reported. The price
OF dairy products has been rather high
er this year than last Condition of
gram crop, very good. Quality of hay,
| loo per cent. There is not much in
crease IN the amount of crops raised
for the sllo. Corn is the principal silage
crop in most sections. Sheep husbandTy
Is not increasing to any extent.
IHORNDIKE-I think the most un-
sanitary and unsightly picture of farm
| buildings is the old fashioned manure
| shed that was attached to MANY barns
in former years and still remains. Bv
excluding the sunlight our greatest
| germicide, they really assist in the pro-
duction of bacteria, by creating a moist
atmosphere in the tie-up. No animals
can do their best in room from which
sunlight and fresh air are excluded, as
| they must be where such sheds over
shadow the tie-up. The Inconvenience
of doing the chores in such damp and
dreary room is enough to condemn them.
The claim that they preserve the dres-
| sing is not borne out when we consider
the manner in which such dressing is
treated. Instead of being put on the
land i'll the spring, it is usually left
| until fall, then often spread and left on
the surface. The actual fertiliZing value
! is at least 23 per cent. greater in the
the shed until fall. And the larger part
of the liquid which would have been
saved if put on the land in April and
May has by September soaked into the
ground under the shed and been lost.

SCH. E. L. WARREN BLOWN UP

The United States cruiser Columbia
las found and blown up the dereict
schooner Edward L. Warren, which
since last June has been a menace to
navigation, drifting directly in the path
OF ocean liners. The Columbia left the
Brooklyn Navy Yard Sept 21st to hunt
for the wreck. 1t was sighted early
Sunday morning, about 200 miles off
Sandy Hook and about 20 miles from
the point where it was last reported.
While the cruiser was at sea she was
in constant touch with the navy yard
by wireless telegraphy, through the
Newport station.
The Edward l.. Warren was bound
for Baltimore from Bangor, with a
load of spruce timber, when she ran
into hurricane on June 26. The storm
dlsmasted the craft, and when she be-
gan to leak the captain and crew were
compelled to abandon the vessel. They
were picked up the next day by pass
ing steamer and landed in Boston.
Two whaleboats were manned by men
from the Columbia, and six service
torpedoes were taken along One tor
pedo was made fast to the hull of the
schooner amidships. 1t was exploded
and blew the craft in halves Other
charges placed in the bow and i'll the
stern blew both in pieces. A fourth tor
pedo was placed in the deck-house, the
only part of the schooner that remained
intact and it was demolished.
The Edward L. Warren was built at
Searsport in 1892, and that was her home
port.

Do that which lies at hand, and do it well,
But more than all-be KIND.

grind
OF toll monotonous were irksome fate;
And those meet oft fail to appreciate
When to them am kind.

Some more exalted part might be assigned !;

Than these, the passing throng of young and
To whom thou bidst be kind. :.
My child, | saw thee lacking wisdom sore,
Thy heart was foolish and thine eyes were
blind;
nl-timed had been the boon thy lips would
ask.
Once more 1 say, "Do well thy appointed
And Still to all-be kind"
These whom thou now regardst with care

Seeing not how closely ties of kinship bind,
= Aosc are tHy uiotHci :, oo"A w ny as tAce.
Some day thou, too, wilt see them thus, nay,

AS thine own self-be kind.
Love is the magic that shall brighten toll,
Love for thy Lord and love for all mankind.
Count no work low loves glory doth en-
nance,
None high that lacks loves spur to swift

That lacks loves crOwn-be kind,
And wherefore mourn tho men shall mark

POEMS OF PEACE
Contributed TO The Journal by Local Writer

After long months of bloodshed and of car
mage.
Staining with lurid hue both sea and
shore,
With joy unspeaking welcome we the mes
That tells us that this cruel war is Ger.
No more brave men shall meet on field of
battle
To Stay their brother man-for what? Oh
small the need
Compared to precious lives like sheaves a
falling,
And it is over. No more pain and heartache
Save that of wives and mothers for their
dead,
Who thick upon some distant shore are ly-
ing,
Or white and chill upon the red seas bed.
Aye, it is over. Bomb and belching cannon
No more their message write with ink of
blood.
The bugle note is silent, no more calling
Her sons to spill their hearts blood like a
flood
Thou hast not gained, Japan, the gold de-
manded,
And some viii censure, yet 'twere better
SO,
Than bloody wal should last, Gods brave
sons Staying
And filling His fair earth with death and
woe.
The war is over, and its CHASTITY story
Unto the past the sad, sad past, belongs,
But unto ye who stayed the sword the glory
And hearts thy praise shall chant in CRATE
full songs.
Some day some tme-oh God, TO thee we're
praying
This crimson tide OF war for aye shall
cease,
And nations all shall feel how much more
precious
Than land and gold and death are life
and peace.

When warning nations sought to find
A path from out the troubled way,
To Freedom shores their thoughts ilcined
Her counsel, aid, their hope and stay
0 generous heart! to feel the woe,
The bitterness of deadly strife
On battlefield where foe meet foe
The crushing out of human life.
o earnest heart to lead the way
Across the sea of discomfort;
Grown each a victor in the fray
Whose efforts else were impOtent.
With diplomatic skill so fine,
The chosen word to strike the key
On which the council might combine
10 fix the terms Of peace to be.
The booming cannon, ringing bells,
The waving flags, the shouting throng.
The tumult loud, and louder Swells
AS pour the gathering crowd along.
With cheer on cheer for victory Won,
And joyous cries 1.-The war will cease!"
AS ENJOYS toward the rising sun
Bear back the olive branch of peace
Their sovereigns wait their coming glad.
And plaudits greet their listening ears
The soldier boy no longer sad
Retrays his JOY in happy tears
Approving nations haste to give
Our countrys chiettain loud acclaim:
And, peace forever; peace will live
Enrolled with RooseEet's name.
