"HAMLIN, THE BAKER. :

When Cyrus Hamln was student
at Bowdoin College he added some
thing to his studies which was not a
part Of the curriculum, n providential
elective, as was proved many years
later when he became president of Rob
ert College in Constantnople, and when
the necessity for good bread for the
soldiers of the Crimea was brought to
his notice. In Cyrus Hamlin, Mis-
sionary, Statesman, Inventor" the
story IS given:
One day at Rowdoin. Professor Smith
delivered lecture on the steam engine
to Hamlin's class, not one OF whom,
perhaps, had ever seen steam engine
Those were the days of the stage-coach
and the OK team.
After the lecture he said to Profess
sor Smith, Il believe | could make an
engine"
The professor replied, ~ think you
can make anything you undertake,
Hamlln. and I wish you would try"
He did try, and succeeded BY work
Ing twelve and sometimes fifteen hours
each day, he built a steam engine suf-
ficiently large to be of real service as
a part Of the philosophical apparatus
of the college.
During the Crlmean War there was
great need Of good bread, and not a
steam flour mill in Constantinople. The
memory Of his steam engine encouraged
President Hamlin to think that he
could establish a -four mill and a bak-
cry, and cast good wheat bread upon
the troubled waters C; that Eastern
war.
He Imported steam engine from the
United States, and by the help Of Ure's
Dictionary Of the Arts" and after la
bOrs which surpassed the legendary la
bors Of Hercules he was ready to grind
-four.
Might not a chemist make good
bread? He had the theory In his head
the next thing was to have the art at
his finger ends This Is the way he
speaks Of the result:
MY bread came out as fiat as pan
cake, and too sour for mortal man to
eat But the next was better, and the
third was eatable."
He was sooL selling bread so sweet,
so palatable. and in loaves so much
above the legal weight that "Hamlin's
Bread" became famous.
One day he was invited to visit the
military hospital at Scutari then filed
with sick and wounded soldiers. The

THEBUREAU DRAWER
By WiImot Waring

Martha Earle lay on her big four poster bed, her large bony fingers plucking restlessly at the patchwork counterpane which she had pieced to- gether herself in the days of her busy housewifery, and a strange, almost mystical silence seemed to have set tied over the New England farm--the silence of death.
 Martha was dying. The big, bust ling woman had come to the end of her days work and she was aware of it-just as her youngest daughter was, pretty, delicate Almira Earle, who sat by her mothers bedside flaming the dying woman with big palm-leaf fan, for the heat of the heavy August after noon was excessive.
 "Almira I'm dying-ain't I?" Martha Earle broke the dull silence of the past hour, and raised herself heavily on her pillows; but her voice was no longer hard and autocratic, and she seemed to speak from dis tance.
 "Mother-my dear, dear mother!'
 That was all that Almira could an swer. but her tears betrayed her.
 "Almora, don't cry! It's all right" Martha smiled faintly. Listen, honey, there's something yer have got to do for me when I'm dead-something fla ther and none of the others arc to know about. I guess I can trust yer?"
 Surely, mother" the girl replied, softly; then she bent over the other woman and propped Martha up in her soft, warm arms.

Yer'll burn the letters in the kitchen fire - burn them to ash, Almira - trust yer not to read so much as word of them But the dried rose petals an the lavender-put them in my coffin, ghosts of dead flowers, Al mira-all that's left of lost summer"
 Her voice died into silence.
 What does it mean?" whispered the girl Mother dear, I'll give yer my oath that I'll do what yer ask, an not read one word of yer letters-but who wrote them?"
 That's no matter" replied Martha. Some one who loved me, honey, be- fore ever your father did. A young man who went to New York to make a fortune for me, an who came back

The Forty-Sixth State.

A new State was added to the Union yesterday when President Roosevelt issued proclamation announcing the fulflment by Ok lahoma of the conditions of admis- sion laid down in the enabling act of June 16, 1906. The new State government was set up in Guthrie, and the five Representatives elect ed on September l7 became quail fled as member of the lower house. Two United States Senators will soon be elected by the new legisla- ture The latest e. try into the Federal family breaks all prece- dents for size and general develop ment. It is by far the largest community ever received into the Union. It's present population is over 100000. None of the Is col nies had a population as large as that when it joined the others to form the Constitution, or even when the census of 1900 was talk en. In 1900 Virginia had ESQ., 200 inhabitants, Pennsylvania 6O2,365 and New York 58o,O51. In 1920 the totals were: Virginia, 1.O65, ,l16: Pennsylvania, l.O47,- SOY; New York, ,5z2.11l. Tex as when annexed by act of Con- gress in 1845 had fewer than 2OO,- GOO inhabitants, and West Virginia when seperated from Virginia in 1863 had about 100000. Utah. the forty-ffth State admitted. af- ter waiting 40 years for Statehood, had population of only 25O,OOO.
 Nearly all the other new States of the West and Northwest were. when admitted, sparsely settled and meagrely developed. North Dakota had 182,7lo inhabitants in 189O-shortly after admission and South Dakota 328,8O8. Washington had 549,59O. But Montana had only 152.l59 in 1890. Idaho 84,585 and Wyoming 6O.7O5. Nevada, admitted in 1864, had only AZ, ,555 inhabitants in 1900. Oklahoma is a giant be- side these ngmy Commonwealths. Ranking forty-sixth in seniority in the Federal family. the new State stands twenty-fifth or higher in
