Maine's lndian Names.

The National Board of Geographic
Names has been at work i'm Maine. NO
doubt it's members have been taxing d
course of severe training for weeks III
/ advance to fit them for the strussie.
1t isn't safe to bump the geographicai
bumps i'm Maine without all fnuscie'
firm and jawstraps tight.
Think of innocently entering Maine
and striking Chemquassabainticooh
| without due preparation. UP in the ar
the moor geographer would go ana
come down plump on Cauquomogomoc.
and If he didn't strike Meddybemps or
Renoeenus on the next rebound he
might consider himself unusually
lucky.
what would be the fate of some
unfortunate not perfectly sound in the
chest who attempted to run Munsun-
eun. Madawaska. Mlllenikuk. Mata-
waewam. Molechunkemunk and
Maranacook all in one heat? The least
defect in the tongue muscles OF the eX-
merit on Chimpasaao, SebOosis. Pana-
dumcook and Umsaskis would be his
ruin. Brawn and brain combined could
alone survive n wrestle with Skowhe-
gan, Seboomook, TOmhegan and
Woodstock, with Piscataquis and
Allagguash in reserve.
1t surely is no joke. BY the time the
experts have fought their way from
Saccarappa to Parmachene and from
Tulandic to Squawpan they will
deserve their summer vacations. If
they don't make any report of progress
till next fall no one can have the heart
to blame them. If they make it then
they will be brave men, for Moos-
tocmaguntic. Apasagunticook, Woo
lastaquaquam, Eggemoggin. Kendus-
keag. Pejepscot. Wescustogo. Schoodie
and Dutch Neck and Dead River will
be lying in wait to take vengeance
Chicago Record Herald.
We do not know where our Chicago
contemporary got its information as
to the struggles of the National Board
of our rivers. lakes, mountains and
towns here in Maine. but it at least
has the names themselves straight
enough Some of them have minor
innovations in their orthography. but
they are substantially correct and only
a native would notice the difference.
The Chicago editor, however. lodged
the most difficult ones and those
selected are only mild and modest
samples of what Maine can really serve
up in Indian nomenclature. They are
not so hard to pronounce. however. as
they look, and with but a small degree
of familiarity they roll easily off the
tongue and are pleasing to the ear.
Maine is practicularly fortunate above
most of the states in the preservation
of so many of the old Indian names. 1t
is proud if then and chershes them.
both for their aboriginal ASSOCIATE tions
and for what they have come to mean
IN these lates days. 1t Chicago does not
approve of them then so much the
worse for Chicago. but the National
Board of Geographic Names is doubt
less the possessor of too much wisdom
and discretion to attempt any inter-
ference with them.

The Sentinel.

On the Campsround in our yard
Robin RcdbreaSt stands on guard:
Prouder sentinel than he
One would search the world to see.
In the spring of every year
Robins regiment is here.
And the folks can hardly wait
For its buglc at our gate.
Then the town seems very gay
In Il most allurinG way:
How my heart beats when I hear
Those old notes so sweet and clear.
Such counting and coquetting
SerpnaderS on the wing,
And the first thing that you know
Every maiden has "a beau"
Freshly decorated trees
All afutter in the breeze.
Like the brides who try to hide,
Bird or maid on every side
Very carly in the dty
They begin Loves Roundelay,
And it ever Swecter grows
Til the day sinks in repoSe.
That's the best time that I know.
Dress parade at sunsets glow:
Then it is We all stand still
To see RObS and Robins drill.
Every evening in the spring
Someone's feet seem all awning.
And It's always pretty late
When we hear the garden gate.
Ways of bird and ways of man
Ever sine" the world began.
Aud no other way could be
Half so sweet to you and me.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Muck Raker3.

washington Starr
me PRESIDENT in his address taxes tre
measure Oh the sensational muck-rdker
with perfect accuracy, AS he comedies,
there is muck. and it must be raked, but
me man VINO performs the service IN an
offensive way, and proceeds upon the idea
that muck Is everywhere and raking must
be lndiscrlminate and continuous, makes
hlmsei1 a nuisance. More harm than good
ter left untouched than handled in so vi
clous CT reckless manner.
WI. hooseVeits words on this SubJect
carr' wc,sht ior two reasons. lie Is

be held to strict accountab bility. The
politician should be as straightforward as
the individual. The public accrcdits Mr..
itooseVeit WIN lde'tls and the courage OF
the disposition and tine ability to be prac-
tical.
In the second place some of the most
oHehSiVe OF the muck-rlkerS have pro
fessed to be laboring in the President s
behalf. They have foated their screeds
upon the pretense that they were co-lab-
orerS with him in the task of clearing the
pubic service or graft and grafterS. They
nave repreS' ntod him as surrounded in his
place here by all sorts of evil influences.
and as battling almost singlehandcd
against a corrupt Congress and all its
works; Not even the judiciary has been
spared.
While all Of this has been the vercSt rot
70 those familiar with the actual situa-
tion. people ut a distance have in some in =
stances been imposed upon. a sentiment
has developed prejudicial to a number of
public servants of the highest character
They are referred to as the tools of cor
porations. using their places either for
private gain. or for corporation pull, "
and as unworthy of public confidence.
Now. as the President makes plain
these muck-rakers do not represent him
at all They are not his coadjutors in any
matter. He feels no lonesomcncss in
Office in battling for the right. Men in
Office are all around him in whom he has
the fullest confidence. who are serving
the public most faithfully and Intelligent
ly. 1t was hardly necessary, but maybe
the President has done well to free him
self publicly from association in any
minds with assaults on our national life.

And WOO the dreaming wild flowers on!
And 10, beneath the alluring spell
Of her magic voice. the echoes woke
An enhancing chorus. the silence broke,
And showers of golden Sunbcams fell.
And far below i'm the valley still
A robin warbed-ard tiny breeze
With a breath of summer stirred the
trees
And kissed the grass on the hill.
A rustic was heard in the wildwood there.
The sere brown leaves were pushed
aside
And starry flowers bloomed side by
side
And the earth grew green and fair
