Alfred Austin's Latest.

Why will Alfred Austin keep on doing
ito Has he no friend in all of Great
Britain who can whisper in his ear that
it is better for him to attend to flower
culture, in which he is said to be sue
cessfuI. and cease to tackle the manu-
facture of poetry, at which he IS a
complete failure? His industry Is
worthy a better cause, and if he would
only apply the energy to a hoe or a
woodsaw which he puts into the busi-
ness of attempting to write lyrics, odes'
direes. apithalamiums and springtime
songs he would benefit humanity ana
escape the merciless gibes which he Is
continuously receiving. His custom
made poetry is Of a kind which any
self-respecting editor of country
weekly would throw into the waste
basket. but coming from poet
laureate it works itself into print, whiie
the nine MUSES. or Parnaseus weeps
in utter despair and helplessness. and
the real poets whom England has pro-
duced turn in their graves until the
foundations of Westminster Abbey are
seriously threatened. The Independent
is guilty of printing AustinS latest
production, which is entitled THE Conn
ing of the Daffodils," which is in all re-
snects one Of the worst of the spring
poems which has been inflicted upon
the public this year. We considerably
refrain from giving the readers Of the
Journal the whole production. but pre-
sent a part of the third stanza as
sample:
The madcap lambs round their staider
dams
Are skipping as, one time. they did,;
And, proud OF the che at. with the cuckoo
rereat
Soon the tale of the nest invaded
Wouldn't that jar you? No wonder
the speak of Tennyson as alfred the
Great!" The New York Sun is moved
to propose the following substitute for
above:
1.-The April book with thu foam a-chOck
Is dripping erst it did. did;
o sweet and strong to be slipped long
From the mouth of the stein heavy
lidded"
The Providence Telegram's muse is
likewise inspired TO give the world Il
variation of the laureate's poetical
thought as follows:
THE festive he goat on the billboard
doth dOte
And there meditatively lines up,
Entice him away with 4 few WhiSps OF
hay
Or he'll eat the theatrical signs up"

Rats are great pest and they some-
times cause trouble for those setting
hens, by destroying the eggs. This
was the case in Lakewood, and the
troubled party fled to rough-on-ratS
as an exterminatOr, and to be sure oil
would have it, other mouths found the
precious morsel, and in the morning
instead of the rats. hens lay dead and
the pet house cat in commissions. Medi-

she recovered, but the hens We're past

OF the many charges brought apa;,,

OF the many charges brought against
"Elijah' Dowie one of the most serious
is that he was aiming to follow in the
footsteps OF Brigham Young and in
troduce polygamy as one of the chief
features in Zion. His plans were all
made for the migrating of polygamy
upon his colony. and probably only the
uprising Of his followers against him,
and uprising in which his wife and son
joined, has prevented him from carry.
ing out his purpose.

There are now on the roles of the
Togus home 26i1 soldiers. OF this
number about 700 are now absent. out
OF furloughs, travelling for pleasure
or visiting relatives. The Togue home
is now one of the most congeSted of
the several similar homes in the cOun-
Try. and it is only for very urgent rea-
sons that comrades are permitted to
enter from other homes. Quite num-
her are transferred from TOSuS in the
course of a year to other places in
the country, but few are brought TO
ToguS. For the 200 now out on fur
Tough there are only 221 beds. so that
if they should all decide to come back
at once the government would find it
self in quite a predicamcnt to find ac-
cOmmOdltiOns for them. The home al
ways figures on q certain proportion
of the soldiers being away, as thai
has been the tendency ever since the
institution was established. While
there has been a miscOnception as to
the amount of drunkenness that pre-
walls among the men. the statistics of
the various homes show that the Togus
population have Il higher rank for So
briefly than any in the country, in fact
but very few soldiers drink to excess.

Let Us Have the Parks.

The Journal re-publishes in this
mornings issue the very able report of
the park commission which was made
10 the Mayor and city council on March
10Th. We earnestly invite our read
ers to give this report the careful read
ing il merits. We feel emphatically
that the matter it presents is one of the
most important that has engaged the
attention of our citizens in recent
years. 1t is q narrow, mistaken, a
losing municipal policy that builds only
for today and takes no thought Of the
morrow. Every good citizen is de-
sirOus Of seeing "a bigger, better,
buster Augusta" and everything that
will tend to beautify our city and make
p il more attractive will contribute di-
rectly and powerfully to bringing about
all these results.
We have at this time an opportunity
to secure at a very reasonable price,
and one easily within the means Of the
city, two beautiful park sites; one
practically in the business heart of the
city on the line of the electric road,
commanding a magnificent view up and
down the river. and peculiarly rich in
historic associations; the other also on
the line OF the electric road, containing
twenty-five acres Of land, with driv-
ing track and baseball field already
constructed, and admirably adapted for
all kinds of outdoor sports and gather
ings.
To allow the opportunity to secure
these sites to go unimproved would be
a grievous mistake, and one that the
city would he sure to regret in years to
come.
The petitions that are now being cir
cUlated and which are being generally
signed by cur citizens, show that public
sent ntifnent is being aroused on this sub
ject, and that the purchase Of these
sites would meet with almost universal
approval.
Thcse.two sites converted into park
and an athletic field would add inn
measurably 10 the attractiveness Of our
city. and would be a permanent source
OF plea safre to all it's citizens.
The future would amply demonstrate
the wisdom Of their purchase. In
considering the Augusta of today let us
not overlook the Augusta Of tomorrow.
Tie opportunity to secure these two
park sites is now with US. 1t may
never be ours again. Let us not make
the mistake Of failing to grasp it while
il is within our reach.
The financial problem involved is
neither Il large nor serious one. The
payments of these sites can be dis
tribrted over series of years in such
a way that they will not be burden
some. in fact will scarcely be felt by
our taxpayers. The interest account
will he so small that it can easily be
saved out Of current revenues without
involving any increase in our present
tax rate.
We believe that these parks will add
to the selling value of every piece of
real estate in Augusta. They will eX-
ert a strong influence in attracting
new people to our city, and be source
OF perpetual pride and pleasure to all
who live within its limits. BY all
means let us make no mistake in this
important matter. Let us have the
parks.

postal card trade is indicated by the
sales of one little news stand in Bangor
where $1,000 of these souvenir postal
cards were sold last year. The year
before the owner sold only 5000 of
these cards, so that the increase i'm the
trade in single season was more than

and he expects to get rid of most Of
them before the advent Of 1907.

Work Of Real Charity.

A circle Of young women in one
OF the large manufacturing cities has
carried on for several years most
excellent work. They take care Of
the children of poor sick women,
thus relieving them Of the obstacle
to stay in the hospital. Many ten
ement house mothers struggle ON to
death itself rather than leave their
little helpless ones until forced to.
The young settlement workers, for
such is really the principle of their
scheme. have rented house, and a.
many as possible Of the temporary
motherless children are received. The
girls serve In turn as residents, stay
Ing three weeks at a time and be-
Ing relieved by system which pre-
vents al entire change at one time
OF the self-constituted guardians. In
the event of the death of the mother
the children are further looked after
until some permanent ARRANGEMENT
can be made for them.

sre many; in fact almost every %
rious illness has its origin In consti-
patton, and some medicines, instead Of
preventing constipation, add to 1t.
This is true of most cathartics, which,
when first used, have a beneficial ef-
feet. but the dose has to be contin-
ually increased. and before long the
remedy ceases to have the slightest
effect. There 10 one preparation, how
ever, that can be relied upon to pro-
duce the same results with the same
dose, even after fifty years daily
use. and this is Brandreths Pills,
which has record Of over 100 years
as the standard remedy for constipa.
