Hunting In the rlaine Woods.
spertsmsen Getting Ready for Deer and
Moose.


The huntsman's day has come around
again. He is busy now, in his prepara-
tons for fall journey into the wild.
Toward the forests Of Maine and the
timber lands OF New Brunswick, mimrods
are journeying. No more delightful va.
cation, and no more healthful outing
than two weeks visit in the pine forests
of Maine in the tall season of the year,
can be enjoyed; and coupled with all the
enjoyments which this season and vaca-
ton opportunity offers, is the keen enjoy
ment and jealous interest of the sports
man, who with his rifle and gun goes
into the forest to experience the excite
ment OF the hunt. Maine, which is a
vast wilderness OF pine forests and beat
tiful lakes and streams, well deserves its
title, the "huntsinan's paradise" From
the time when the opening shot pro.
claims the law is off, and the deer and
moose scamper under cover, before the
bang of the sportsman's rifle, until the
last day OF November, when the earth,
enshrouded in it's mantle OF snow and
the forest stripped naked Of Its foliage,
proclaims the advent ofwinter, the wilds
| OF Maine are true Eden for the hunters
from all parts of the United States. The
Rangeley and Dead River regions, famed
for the rewards which they bestow on
visiting fisherman, have additional
charms which they unfold in the fall of
the year. Many Is the good story of a
deer or moose hunt related on a winter
night at some Game Club Dinner, which
took place the previous fall in this same
section. Farther north, around Moose.
head, sportsmen annually assemble, and
pursue with vigor the exciting chase after
deer and moose. In Washington county
and the Bangor & Aroostook region are
wilds which seldom if ever are visited by
men. In northern Maine, especially in
the territory where the berry patches are
plentiful, bears abound, and it is no uns
common sight to see visiting sports.

Vermonters get there in any part OF the
world and Philip B. Stewart has just
been nominated for governor by the re-
publicans in the great state OF Colorado.
Mr.. Stewart inherited his love of politics
from his father, former Governor ]. W.
Stewart of Middlebury, and has been for
many years one of President Roosevelt 8
most intimate hunting companions.

The President and q Third Term.

In the September 7th number of the
North American Review an American
publicist, writing over the pseudonym

ton which President Roosevelt made OF
determination not to be candidate tor
denomination, careful analysis OF the
the terms of the declaration in the light
OF the conditions under which it was
made will establish the conclusion that it
does not debar Mr.. Roosevelt from
accepting, without faint OF dishonor,
another nomination for the Presidency.

Scores of instances in his political life
might be adduced to indicate bis deter
mination never to permit a possible ac-
cusation OF disqualification to stand in
the way of performance of his full duty,
as at the moment he should perceive it.
One in precise parallel with the case now
under consideration is a complete estop-
pei OF any hypercritical complaint OF lack
OF foreknowledge. While Governor Of the
State OF New York and harassed by the
unremitting Efforts OF politicians to sub.
merge him in the ce.Presidential Office,
he declared with all the emphasis at his
command: Under no circumstances could

of almost unanimous appreciation.
