Although the early French settlers
merged their identity with the American
people until all trace Of many of their
achievements were lost, it is TO the infu-
sion of their blood that We owe many Of
our boasted national characteristics. The
first doctor in Manhattan was Johannes
la Montague. who arrived I'm 1881. The
nrst white people ever i'm the State Of
Pennsylvania were four young French
couples who went out from New York in
1925. French explorers made a brilliant
record in the discovery and settlement Of
the West and South The first two white
men in Minnesota were Pierre d'EspTit
and Medard Chanaut. two Huguenot fur
traders. Cadillac, afterward governor OF
Louisiana. founded Detroit Mich, Pitts
burg. originally Fort Duquesne, was
founded by Marquis Duquense de Meme
vile AUguste and Pierre ChOuteau
founded ST. Louis and named il for the
last French King.

one Of the most unique persOnages on
the American continent is the rural
French-Canadian Of the Province of Que
bee The habitaut type is one that an
students of human nature have found
worthy of study. Springing from one
lrace. and dwelling among another, the
character Of this frugal farmer and
sturdy backwoodsmdu seems To present
a mass of contradictions His language is
either degraded French or mongreI
English: he is nearly always poor yet
Invariably happy; his patriotism is Of a
peculiar sort. in that it does not SAVIOR of
allegiance 20 France nor concern for the
welfare of Canada, but is measured by
the mere ambition TO preserve French
: dominance in the Province of Quebec
The one mark of the habitant is his love
Of home. The Grand Trunk Railway for
several hundred miles east of Montreal
has q large local patronage which is
designated rs The "moccasin trade" The
French Canadian who Is employed away
from his birthplace will spend his last cent
10 visit the home-folks. The reluctance
TO sever home ties is shown In the char
acter of the farms, which are merely
long lanes with rows of houses at the
ends When the eldest son marries. the
father splits the home place and gives
the youth a slice Of land. The sons
often become so numerous and the slices
So thin. that in order 10 continue the
multiplication quartering process is
necessary.

The next evening we gave a reception to her and our new members (52). She gave them quite nice little talk, we sang a good many of our temperance songs in the White Ribbon Hymnal, served refresh mentS conSiStingOf chicken salad, sandwiches, pickles, coffee, cream and cake. A great many men reOut, six joined and were out at church next morning with their little white bows on, which delighted Miss Mosher you may be sure. Sunday afternoon she spoke to a good crowd on Peace and Arbitration. She always does well but on this occasion she eX- celled herself, tears werein many eyes. One lady said to me her husband sat and cried. She cer- tainly is a gifted woman and can sway her audience at will. Sun day evening we secured the larg est church in town and it was packed, her farewell was truly pathetic, she said in all probabili- ty this was the last time she would look in their faces, that she had labored long and hard and per haps some one else could succeed where she had not. After the benediction the crowd gathered around her to say good bye and one said we feel like we can't give you up. Can't you stay longer? Don't say this is your final trip to Arkansas, and next time give us a whole week. Nothing less will satisfy us.

ORONO'S PUBLIC PARK.

ORoNo, Me-, Aug. q The citizens of the
town were delightfully."- surprised yesterday
when deeds were presented to the selectmen
for acceptance and signature of tract of
six acres of valuable land in the center of the
village for the use of the town forever as a
public park, with permission to use a por-
ton as site for a public library when the
town may build one.
The gift is made by the heirs of the estate
of the late Eben c. Webster and Paul D..
Webster, and the grantors are J. Fred Web
ster, Alden P. Webster, Eben Webster Judd,
Maud W. Haskell, Almond c. Judd, Mary
W. Milliken, Charles NJ. Webster, Marion
P. Webster and Henry Webster. The land
comprises number of lots bordering on the
east side of the Saltwater river, running
south from the county road a considerable
distance along the river bank and bounded
on the east by Penobscot street. The land is
valued at about $4,000
The new park is already beauty spot, be-
ing bordered by fine old elms with a thick
growth of willows on the river bank. Very
little improvement will be needed to make
it one of the most beautiful parks in the
State. The Alpha Tau Omega and the Sig
ma Chi fraternity houses of the University
of Maine face the new park, and their value
will be enhanced by the assurance that the
lots will never be built upon.
