Anyway, Nicholas and Miss Alice
are not obliged to read all the stuff
which the busy correspondents serve
up In the newspapers about them these
times. 1t is certainly no fault of the
hnrpy young couple that they are get
ting so much publicity. They are con-
ducting themselves in n most sensible
and modest manner which wins them
the increased respect of everybody.
But all the world loves a lover and so
all that Is written about them Is eager
ly read. The demand results in a copi-
Gus supply, SO the Washington cOrre-
srondents and syndicates are keeping
very busy.

Why Doubt Such q Good Story?
(BiddefOrd Journal.

The Boston Globe, in an article on
''Thrilling Ride with Governor Dana,
speaks Of John F. Rice Of Waterford,
now 81 years old, as the former driver
of the overland stage from Conway,
n. H.. to Augusta, Me-" and assumes
that the trip was made in one day.
The story is good one but there are
in it at least two apparent errors
which detract somewhat from its in
terest. The stage route between Con-
way, N. H., and Augusta, Me-, was
never, SO far as we know, covered by
4 single line. The terminus of the
White Mountain line was Portland.
Moreover, the trip from Conway to
Augusta could hardly be made in one
day by stage, as the distance by rail is
12l miles and by stage road it must
have been considerably more.

in.. The var than any dozen other men
and scared me 50 that ! think 1t must
have stunted my growth.
General Wheeler was one OF the 1ore-
mosr American leaders in the campaign
at Santiago. When Shafter came 10
the conclusion, after about two days OF
intermittent fighting along the lines OF
the Spanish earthworkS, that retreat
might be necessary it was General
Wheeler who stood out against 1t. he
was for sailing into the Spaniards with
every available man, and his plan pre-
vailed.
General Wheeler was out well in the
front where he could see what was GO
ing on and direct the fire of his d.
vision to the best effect. At last ne
saw the thin line of the enemy begin 10
waver. The art of making war was
not new to him. and letting out d
whoop that could be heard even above
the din of battle, he started toward
that weakening point. The brave men
charged up Il hill. firing at random.
There was no stopping that herce
charge. and the rain of bullets that
poured i'm on the foe.
That was the first real taste of bat
tie that General Wheeler had since the
days of the rebellion, and in the eX-
element of ii he must have forgotten
just where he was. Once more he was
leading his confederate dare-devils to
the charge. He saw the WaVering line
Of the enemy break. Waving the old
cavalry saber he had used in scores OF
battles he yelled:
"Now at 'em, boys, Give 'em h-l'
We've got the ID yankees on the run
and we must get every last one Of 'em.
Follow me-"
The boys did follow the hatless and
coatless leader, and the battle was won.
He became the idol of the men who
fought under him, and it was one of
the prvates who stuck close to his
heels in that victorious charge who told
him a day or two later about the
strange error he had made in his COM
mand for charge up that hill. Cen
eral Wheeler laughed as heartily as
anyone at it and said:
''Wny. that is funny indeed. I must
have forgotten just where 1 was
At the close of this war General
Wheeler came back with the army that
vas landed at Montauk Point, and in
the weeks when the camp there was
fever-stricken he rendered heroic SER
vice. 1t was while he was in command
there that his youngest son. a naval
cadet, who was serving on his staff.
was drowned while bathing in the surf.
General Wheeler became an officer in
the regular army after the victorious
| campaign in Cuba. and he saw six
months hard service in the Philip
pines.

The Ruel williams Field.

The Augusta high school is asking
the city government to fit up an ath-
letic field for it. 1t is something that
every city should furnish for the school
boys.-Gardiner-Repo Journal.
II ever there was an honest and true
request made, the above is most as
suredly one and a matter that should
have the considerate attention of every
city and town where there is no field Of
this kind provided.-Thomaston Her.
aid.
The Journal feels that its contem-
poraries in Gardiner and Thomaston
have voiced exactly the sentiments Of
the people of Augusta in this import
ant matter. 1t is the great good for
tune Of our city, thanks to the gen.
erosity and public spirit Of Mrs. Gill
man and the trustees of the Cony Fe-
male Academy, that the beautiful field
adjoining the grounds Of the Cony
High School has been given to the
school as a park for athletic purposes.
The least that the city can do in ap-
probation Of this splendid gift is to
give the field the drainage and leveling
necessary before it can be used for
athletic purposes. The amount of
money required or this purpose is a
relatively small one, and we feel that
the petition presented to the city gov
ernment will receive prompt and fav-
orable action.
The enthusiastic meeting of the
alumni and friends of the school last
evening for organization of an associ-
alton to assist in the development and
maintenance Of this field and for the
promotion Of clean and consistent ath-
letics in the school is long step in the
right direction and will be an impOr-
tant factor in securing from the city
the small financial assistance re-
quested. Such an organization will
mean much to the school and its pro-
moters are to be commended for the
loyalty they are showing in so prac-
tical a fashion.
The field. by the way. is to be known
as the "Reuel Williams Field rather
than as the "Gilman Field" by which
name it has generally been spoken of
since it was presented to the school,
It's former owner. Mrs. Gilman, was a
member Of the Williams family. and
the field itself was part Of the estate
OF the late Reuel Williams, in his day
and leading man Of our city and State
and one whose memory Augusta cam
not do too much to honor and perpetu-
ate. Those who have given the field to
our High school for athletic purposes
desire that it be known as the "Reuel
Williams Field" and since the desig-
nation is such a fitting one there can
certainly be no objection to it's adop-
ton.

(Brigton News.)
Senator Hale is now, confessedly, the
leading figure in the Senate, ana as IS
eminently fit, he is doing a statesmans
work. 1t is wonderful, that man of
his years is able to stand the wear
and tear OF parliamentary leadership
as he does-but the facility with which
he knocked out Tillman in his recent
assault on the President, evinces that
in an emergency he is able to do the
business as effectively as at any time
in his thirty-four years Of service. His
leadership is so wise. discreet, saga
cious, everyone readily grants him
right of way" as to all great ques-
