Big Catches OF Maine Coast.
From the Kennebec Journal

at Portland were broken yesterday when
the local off-shore fleet, augmented by two
or three craft that have Seen handlinlng
or Nova Scotia and the big banks, brought
in $4,000 pounds of ground fish, which ex-
ceeds the big catch made six weeks ago
by just 2iOO0 pounds. The queen of the
Maine fleet, the Margie Turner, was high
line, and brought in 25,0O0 pounds from the
Nova Scotian fishing grounds, while her
sister craft. the Marion e. Turner, was sec

Origin of the BROAD Arrow"
From the London Chronicle.

IIUnuOn
The unmistakable broad arrow" of
which the escaping Gloucester convicts nat
urally tried to rid themselves as soon as
possible has no inherent penal significance,
but is simply the sign of state ownership
on the prison clothes How this arrow
came to be royal mark Is quite uncertain
The story that it was taken from the arms
Of Henry Viscount Sydney, who was master
general Of ordnance at the end OF the sew
enteenth Gentry, is exploded by the simple
fact that it was a royal mark before his
time. Pepys hankered after the idea that
the arrow might be really an anchor,
and others have seen in it a commemora-
ton of the English archers' prowess 1t
has been boldly identified also as the three
nails of the cross, as a mystic Druid let
ter signifying superiority. and as the SYM
boil of Mithras as sun god.

Trees Can Be Protected.
From the indianapolis News.

Judge Afford did another good job when
he fined the tree destroyers. The fine was
enough to demonstrate the law for all In
diana. Judge Afford has lots OF good work
to- his credit, and, like Falstaff as to humor
he is the cause of good work in others. The
further cases in the present offense will be
pressed by Prosecutor Benedict. and they
ought to be. There is great principle in
yolved, and a great abuse to be rebuked.
Butler College has served a public purpose
by standing out for reform of this abuse.

one has been bold enough to press the law.
The principle involved is that when wrong
is done. the wrongdoer ought to be pun
ished. no matter whether the wrong hurts
some particular person or interest or not;
the principle that the law in itself must
be preserved inyiolate. All this is helped
along by the decision OF yesterday. Full
justice will be done when the principal as

The low price is due
to the fact that these stoves were
damaged by water, but they are
just as useful as though perfect
All that is necessary to make
these oil heaters as good in out
ward appearance as when sent
from the factory is some polish
for the nickel and blackening for
the body of the stove. This
won't cost much more than a
dime.
There is plenty OF cold weather

of the necessity of having

A few months ago the World re-

A Worthy Public Life.

In the unanimous adoption OF a
resolution concentrating the life
and services of the lamented Lud-
wig Mahncke, the City Council of
San Antonio has in some measure
discharged an obligation to faith
full public servant.
Ordinarily the officials of an in
dividual city are of little interest
to other cities and the State at
large. Ludwig Mahncke, how
ever, was an exception. As park
commissioner of San Antonio, his
artistic discharge of a municipal
duty, but an example and an in
spiration to all Texas cities.
San Antonio has the most beauti-
full parks of any city in the South.
They are indeed so beautiful they
constitute that city's greatest
charm to visitors as we'll as to
her residents. Ludwig Mahncke s
hand and brain and patient labor
made them so.
With the single exception of San
Antonio, there is not a city in
Texas that has not neglected its
duty in the matter of its park
system. Our cities i'll their strug-
gle for commercial supremacy and
in their newness and youth, have
NOT seen so far ahead as to realize
that beautiful parks are business
assets scarcely secondary to public
halls and transportation facilities
in their value. And in this view
there is not a municipal govern
ment in Texas to which pilgrim
age to San Antonio, to study the
methods and system by which the
lamented Ludwig Mahncke made
that city the show city of the coun-
try would not be profitable.
Ludwig Mahncke's memory will
live in the fragrance of the flowers
and in the soft shades of the trees
he nursed to vigorous and whole
some growth, and these will per
petuate his devotion to civic duty
even when those who knew him in
his quiet and unobtrusive manhood
shall pass away or forget; for the
stranger within the gates of the
queen city of the Southwestern
division of Texas will ask, from
time to time, Whose artistic sense
conceived all this beauty and
whose hand gave it tangible ex-
pression?"-Fort Worth Star.

That They Have at Last Secured
Cure for Hair Troubles.

We beg to announce to the people of
Augusta that We have secured the
agency for one of the greatest discov-
cries OF recent years. We refer to the
prescription of Sir Erasmus Wilson NJ.
D.. England's most successful special
ist in diseases of the scalp, who was
knighted for his many successes in the
treatment of skin and scalp. Upon the
death of DR.. Wilson this prescription
vas secured by American chemists and
is now offered to the public under the
name of DR.. Wilson's English Life to
the Hair. This preparation will grow
hair on bald heads even after all else
fails. Unlike other hair preparations
1t is not sticky or greasy, but gives
live and glossy appearance to the hair.
Miss Cornelia Stevens, Smith Ave-,
Boston, Mass, says: CDR. Wilson's
English Life to the Hair grew a mag
niilcent head of hair for me after I
was told that I was becoming hopeless

to my waist and is heavy and glossy.
