The Country School.

In sweet October's short'ning days.
When comes the purple, smoky haze
OF many an Indian summer morn,
When through the rustling blades of corr
The winsome winds of autumn play
No trace of winter, cold and gray
Then fancy takes backward fight,
Forgotten pleasures come to light,
The fun and frolic, rigid rule
or childhood's joy-the Country School:
The course of study was not high.
But small boys oft were made to sigh,
With eyes upon the dog-eared book.
Not daring otherwise to look;
"The rule of three" they pondered DER,
And sadly unused on Webster's lore;
McCiuffey's Readers were the JOY
OF every story-loving boy
The teacher at his desk and stool
Was tsar and sultan in the school!
But minds oppressed would soon rebound
When came the call of fox and hound"
And "townball'' had it's devotees.
Who scorned all games that proffered
case;
With laughing eyes and rosy cheek
The girls would play at "hide-and. seek.
When books were called with tinkling
bell
A thirsty crowd stood round the well,
Waiting their parched lips to cool
Before the grind of Country school!
Where are the boys that played with me
In long, gone days of "used-to-be"
All, some are sleeping, calm and still.
BY Salem Church on Goshen hill.
And some are living, brave and strong,
To lift their voice against all wrong,
And in the pulpit or the pew
I1phoId the good. stand by the true
Thank God for all-the kindly rule.
And Lessons learned in Country School.

A New York Idea of Maine Hunting

(Biddeford JournaL)
In an illustrated article on the
hunting OF deer and moose, writer
In the Brooklyn Eagle says: TN
Maine the fashion from the time of
Adam has been to trail the moose
Just why he shouldn't be surrounded
like a deer and killed affords fine
study Of ethics. Deer are seldom
trailed. Hunters band together with
a pack of hounds. The deer's habitat
is noted. The hunters are distributed
around the prey in big circle or
stands The dogs are then let loose,
driving the deer, when routed, from
stand to stand, until pinged." Those
to the manner born may we'll wonder
where this writer got his authority
for the statement regarding the Maine
method of hunting deer. Certainly
not from experience. Dogs sometimes
chase deer, even in Maine, but they
cannot do so legally, and when they
are caught in the act they usually
suffer the penalty of death, and their
owners, when known. are called upon
to explain. The dissemination of such
misinformation is not creditable to a
newspaper whose editors should be
better informed.

Fair Play in Athletics.
portland Argus.)

The little pamphlet just issued
from Bowdoin College containing the
addresses at the dedication of the
Hubbard srandstand, comes oppor-
timely as a contribution to the litera-
ture of football and the burning ques-
ton Of brutality in the intercollegiate
game In his address of presentation
General Hubbard laid special stress
ON fair play as the first essential in
athletic sport. Fair play, and may
the best man VIM" was General Hub
bar6's text, and he dwelt on it in di-
rect manly fashion. There is no faint
of kid-glove sentiment on the one
hand and no tolerance of unfair
play. Fair rlay, No true athlete
should wish to win without it," said
General Hubbard. "All true athletes
can bear defeat, if they give fair play
and receive it, Again:
Those who forbcar their own advantage
give fair play. Those of the loyal nature
aud the noble mind win as the best men
win.
1t was distinction to do these things
and to have these qualities. even when
the rules of chivalry were most strictly
observed. This distinction did not belong
in equal measure even to klnS Arthur :
knights. But knights who LEANED fair
under the gaze of rival warriors and their
queens of beauty practised fair play in
oper battle and under no eye but that OF
the foe.
Athletes who will be trained to fair
play urder the smiles or frowns that cas-.
sunshine or shadow from these rising
tiers Of benches will be guided through
their lives by the motto. Fair play.
and may the best man win" 1t is a good
guide to march by. The man of sense
and heart will modify it as need may be.
for life is all contest with competitors
on equal footing.
But for this place we can frame no
better wish than that the motto. Fair
play, and may the best man win may
be followed by those who struggle down
there in the field, and enforced by those
who applaud or disapprove from this
lofty point of survey of safety.
Let Bowdoin and Maine colleges
play intercollegiate football in this
spirit and there will be no need of
talk of reforming or abolishing the
game in Maine, as they are talking
at Harvard. Maine colleges can
demonstrate that football can be made
a clean, healthy American sport, and
it is up to them to do it.

The very pleasant Sabbaths of the
past few weeks have been days when
those who labor enjoy taking a stroll
in the woods for an hour or two, but on
account of the many hunters out on
Sunday, people do not feel safe in GO
ing into the woods. 1t is so in this
town and vicinity and it is something
that ought not to be. How does this
condition of things exist when Sunday
is close time on all game? One
would think by the rifle reports that
the woods were barricaded and that
battle was in progress. One farmer
in this town recently said that he did
not dare to go into the woods on week
days to cut his winters supply of
wood. and it is dangerous business.
The reckless use of rifles have init
Undated many to the extent that the
owners of land cannot attend to their
own affairs on property that they own
without taking some risk of being in
jured. Let the farmers post notices
on their farm for gunners to keep off
and cease this unlawful trespassing.
There is sufficient law if land owners
will enforce is to keep gunners off their
farms.

graceful flying squirrels hopping about
on the roof of the shelter and take note
of them climbing trees and frolicking
among the fallen leaves. 1t Is our
opinion that in the woods just out Of
Bangor the flying species are as abund-
ant-or nearly so-as the red ones,
though we do not see them SO often on
account Of their nocturnal habits. One
" inter some six years ago when we told
woodchopper engaged In cutting
spruce that we wished Tor living ny
ing squirrel, he brought us six within
a week. and said he could hnd them py
the dozen. Nearly every moonlight
night in the fall we see flying squirrels
leaping and feeding among a small
clump of cherry crabapple trees, Where
they gorge themselves upon the rudy
fruit, getting away to their nests In the
tops of spruces and frs before daylight.
The flying squirrels of Maine are more
promiscuous feeders than their red
cousins, for while the red specimens
break open the fruit of the craDapples
and eat no more than the brown seeds,
the flying squirrels devour the puppy
fruit as well as the seeds. Some wood
choppers who live in camp near Ded-
ham say that the camp cat kills and
leaves at the door from one to three
lying squirrels every night, which Is
an indication that the animals are not
scarce.
But we have seen very few gray
squirrels this year-not so many by
MALT as we did last year. The gray
species is never common near Bangor.
No gunner can secure one gray squir-
rel a day by hunting week within
a radius of 20 miles surrounding Ban
cor. If the gunners in Oxford and
Franklin counties can find gray squir-
rels plenty enough to make them worth
the hunting, they are fortunate, for it
is fine sport to shoot them. and when
tney are dressed and cooked they are
good enough for an epicurean banquet.

No Soil Like Aroostook's.
(Fort Fairfield Review)

(Fort Fairfield Review)
We are pleased to see that many of
the older sections of Maine are taking
up the raising of potatoes, and are all
so enthusiastic over the belief that
they can raise potatoes just as well
as AroOstook." Well, there is no doubt
that, using methods somewhat similar
to those used in Aroostook, they can
raise good potatoes, and lots of them,
too; but, as for their being able to
raise them as well as in the garden
county. perhaps we should make a
little allowance here for over zeal: the
fact that they haven't soil as good as
the Aroostook article to begin with
ought to have some influence in the
matter.
