WHY HE WANTED LAW.
Man Had to Be Forced Into Paths Of
Righteousness.

Congressman James E. Watson of
the Sixth Indiana district told a story
while in town recently, anent the OPP
Grafton of the pure food law, and in
tended to illustrate his expressed
theory that more people would be
good il they had to be.
1t was while we were wrestling
with the pure food bill at Washing
ton," he said, that got a letter from
home, written by man from whom I
bought a big quantity of maple strip
each year. He urged me to fight for
the pure food bill. Now, couldn't
help remembering, to save my life,
that this man bought five barrels of
brown sugar at the opening of the
maple molasses season. So 1 wrote
him a note suggesting that advocacy
of pure food measure seemed odd
from a man who bought five barrels
of brown sugar before beginning the
manufacture of his pure maple strip.
Never feazed him. He turned my
letter over and wrote on the back: I
know it, but want the law to make
me do right Indianapolis News.

Changes and Chances.

John Marshall Glenarm had probably
never been so happy in his life as on
that day of-his amazing Homecoming
He laughed at us and he laughed with
us. and as he went about the house ex-
planning his plans for its completion,
he chaffed us all with his shrewd
humor that had been the terror of my
boyhood.

lot of trouble; but that little sketch of
the Door of Bewilderment was the

You will stay on here,-you will

gentleman asked with unmistakable
eagerness of look and tone
1t seemed harsh and ungenerous to
tell him that 1 wished to go; that the
great world lay beyond the confines
of Glenarm for me to conquer; that
had lost as well as gained by those
few months at Glenarm House, and
wished to go away 1t was not the

Pickering, trapped and defeated, was
not to benefit by the bold trick she had
helped him play upon me. His loss
was hers as we'll and was glad in my
bitterness that / had found her in the
passage seeking for plumber at the be-

served. 1 did not mention her to my

friends as well as mine.
The prisoner in the potato cellar re-
cefved our due attention; and my
grandfather's joy in the fact that an
agent of the British government was
held captive in Glenarm House was
cheering to see. But the mans de-
tention was a grave matter, as we all
realized, and made imperative the inn
mediate consideration of Larry's fu-
ture.

clared Larry.

to have you remain said my grand
father. 81 hope to hold Jack here, and

prisoner in an American private house

has been in this part of the country;
and you may be sure that the fight
here and the return of Mr.. Glenarm

that you detain the fellow few hours
after leave, to give me a start"

There was a touch of poetry and
sweet sentiment in the assembling OF
the remnants of the Sixteenth Maine
Regiment at Augusta, on Wednesday,
the gray headed veterans pitching
their tents on identically the same
ground, where they were mustered In
for service in the civil war. And
that was clear back forty-five years
ago. This was the regiment that
went forth to the war a thousand
strong, commanded by Col Asa w.
Wildes of Skowhegan. On Wednes :
day they appeared on the historic
field numbering about one hundred
OF the regimental officers there were
Col. Chas. w. Tilden of Hallowell;
Lieut.. Col. Augustus B. Farnham,
Bangor; and Major Abner R. Small,
Oakland. The pathway of the regi-
ment during the war was the path
way of blood, and its record stands as
high as that of any Maine Regiment,
and that is saying a good deal.
