"San Francisco reports" says con-
temporary, that number of persons
who suffered from various ailments
previously to the earthquake and fire in
that city find themselves completely
cured. One paralytic, who for fifteen
years had been crippled by his disease,
is now entirely cured and numerous
other recoveries have been recorded"
Even an earthquake, which wrecks
cities wipes out great fortunes and
kills hundreds of people, brings few
blessings i'm its train and for these, of
course, those who are blessed are duly
thankful. Still the earthquake meth
Cd of cure is not likely to become a
popular one. Most people will prefer
TO trust their cases to the doctors and
the druggists.

He had not faced" tn, old red cow;
". had not fought pirate ship
Eut. q. what pride curled in his lip,
And q, what triumph filled his eyes
AS other kids he Sauntertd by,
He had not been elected t.

With such naughty air Of grace
You might have thought he'd won thu
race
For President. or that ut least
He'd met and slain some thWny beast.
Surlc hairy monster of the wood.
And like an "lden knight made good.
He had not faced n foreign foe
And laid the enemy i'm woe
He had not found the first birds nest
And crammed the eggs into his vest:
He had not seen a melon patch.
Sans fench or hedges. bolt or latch,
And vet victory hid within
The broad expansion of his grin.
He had not robbed n cherry tree,
He had not set nation free;
He had not beat the rival nine
Eut. @. how straight he held his spine,
And. @ how high he tread the air
And made the other fellows stare,
And made the little girls he knew
Bow down unto their Roderick Dhu!
The freckles on his nose were taut
His checks with sunburn glory fraught.
His shirt ripped half way ND the back,
His hreeches showed material lack:
His hair. unkempt a tousled sight.
Glowed hatlcss in the morning light;
But o. what diffe renee to him
He'd been the first boy in the swim!

3. Springfield. Mass, Is feeling quite
pleased with itself. 1t was not salts
fled with the Massachusetts state CEN
sus of 1905 because that enumeration
failed to give II quite the 10000 people
It expected. and so 1t has just had a
special census. This gives it popu-
lation of 1888 but as the state census
was taken nearly a year ago it does not
appear to have been far out Of the way.
BY getting over the 5000 mark the city
gets several new letter carriers so the
gain from the special census is not
wholly confined to the sentimental

A Chicago professor arises to demon
strate that the earth will be habita BILE
1000, 200, 900 years from now. He does
this by means of 'planeteSimal
hypothesis and no doubt by some
other hypothesis he could also
demonstrate that it will be Inhabited
as well as habitable then. He wisely
leaves 1t to our imagination, however,
when that time has come. There are
some things that even a Chicago pro-
fessGr declines to attempt.

seeds to be sowed. The street depart
ment can gather the mud and oifal
from the pavements. Idle and mis-
cbievous children can be shooed away.
Loafers can be discouraged. Policemen
can stand erect. Goods which are Of
fered for sale can occupy restricted
areas on the sidewalks. Truck teams
can be taught not to come to stop
directly in front Of street crossings.
The hay market can be made more
tidy. All this and much more can be
accomplished very cheaply while the
best city in Maine is awaiting its new
birth into perfect beauty and cleanli-
ness.

Life Seems Longer Anyway.

Marriage is an institution highly con-
ducive to the health o1 both husband and
wife.
Statistics prove that among married
men over 70 years OF age ana women over
10 the mortality rate is FAR less than
among those who remain single. Among
the widowed and divorced the mortality
is exceptionally great. Suicides among
the unmarried are much more numerous
than among the married.
The matrimonial state promotes tenn
per:tnce in every form. Furthermore, the
probable duration of life OF married
man of 20 exceeds that of his unmarried
brother by five years, and the VIE may
expect to live one wear longer than q SIN
gle woman of the same age.
