CHAMPION sT0vEp1PE MAKER.

In the Office of Searsport grocery store
Friday evening, after the electric lights
had been turned on and the customers
had made their purchases and taken
seats for short chat, the conversation
began on the marvels of ancient and
modern workmen. After few pre-
liminary short stories had been told a
local mechanical genius in the plumb
ing and tinsmith trade, who is of middle
age, stated that while he was at work
in Rockland, Me-, for large hardware
firm the firm received a crush order"
for 2,O55 feet of six inch iron stovepipe
to be delivered at the steamboat wharf
on the following day. This marvellous
iron worker stated that the foreman
told him to begin on the job at p. NJ,
which he did, and at 1890 the same
evening he had the job completed and
the pipe ready to be taken to the wharf.
AS 30 joints of 2 1-2 feet six-inch pipe is
considered good days work for an ex-
pert pipe maker, Searsport, no doubt,
holds the champion stove-pipe maker
of the country. This job was cut from
tine iron as it lay in sheets.

THE REAL PRESENCE

The soul is Christ's most sacred shrine
Our heaven doth here begin;
All seasons sing of love divine
When Jesus dWells within.
Holy the mount when love is there.
The vale where duty calls;
Each loving deed doth incense bear
Within the temples wallis
The trusting soul has inward light
That sees God everywhere;
Mountains and seas, darkness and light.
Are full of praise and prayer.
How blest the hour that brings to me
New life from lips divine!
How bright each scene where Christ see,
And prove his peace is mine
holy hour! 0 sacred PLACED
My heart at rest shall dwell,
though trouble mark the temples space,
Though sorrow toll its bell

Springfield Republican.

NOT A CANDIDATE.

President Roosevelt Reiterates His State
ment That He Will Not Accept Another
Nomination.
! WASHINGTON, Dec. 18th. President
Roosevelt will not be candidate for a
third term. A doubt on this point was
| tonight dispelled by the authoritative
statement of the White House that Mr..
Roosevelt still adheres to the declara-
ton of remuneration made on the night
of the election, three years ago. In the
statement issued tonight, President
Roosevelt says he has not changed and
shall not change the decision communi-
Gated to the American people in 1904.
1t appears that the President had
been awaiting the call for the Republi-
can national convention to afford the
proper opportunity for making his po-
Sltlon clear and unmiStakable, thus
leaving the field clear for Fairbanks,
Taft, Cannon, Knox, Foraker aud other
declared or receptive candidates for the
Republican nomination.
The Presidents statement follows:
con the night after election l made
the following announcement:
L am deeply sensible of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in
what | have done and have tried to do.
| appreciate to the full the solemn re-
sponsibility this confidence imposes up
on me and shall do all that in my pow
er lies not to forfeit it. On the fourth
of March next shall have served three
and a half years and this three and a
half years constitute my first term. The
wise custom which limits the President
to two terms regards the substance and
not the form, and under no circum-
stances will be candidate for or &C
cept another nomination.
Il have not changed and shall not
change the decision thus announced"
