MAPCELLUS PARKER DEAD,

RoCKLAND, Me-, Oct. 16 Marcellus
NJ Parker died today, aged rs years.
He leaves wife, one son, NJ. Z. Park
er, of Haverhill, Mass, and daughter
Miss Imogene Parker of this city Mr..
Parker was native of Dixmont, the
son of Well-known Waldo county
physician. He enlisted at Augusta in
Co. b, 1st Maine cavalry, in 1861 and a
year later was promoted to corporal
On May q, 1868, his company was over
powered by a large force of confeder-
ates. Parker refused to surrender and
his life would have ended there but for
the fact that a watch turned aside a
rebel Saber. Several of his comrades
were slain on the spot. Mr.. Parker
was taken to Libby prison, and his
experience there was one of great hard
ship and almost starvation. He was
finally paroled and rejoined his COM
pany Sept. s, 1868. He was transferred
to the signal corps in February, 1864,
and performed distinguished service
After the war he was superintendent
OF cottonseed oil mills in Brooklyn and
Greenvile, Miss. Later he was one of
the superintendent in the construc-
ton of bridges on the Union Pacific
railroad and gained reputation for a
tunneling feat III Oregon. He had been
colonel of Davis Tillson command, U.
V. u, and was member of Edwin
Libby post, G. A. R., and Knox lodge
of Odd Fellows. Seven years ago Mr.
Parker had very narrow escape from
being buried alive. He suffered a
paralytic shock, and while lying in a
comatose state heard the attending
physician pronounce him dead. After
suffering hours of mortal agony, he
became restored to consciousness to
the great joy of those who were mourn
ing him as dead.

A SONG OF OCTOBER DAYS.

tlo, the red leaves and the brown
And the pathway leading down
Through the tangle of the thicket to the
borders of the brook,
Where the golden rod ablaze
Signals through October days
Till our feet are fain to wander to the echo
haunted nook.
Thistle bloom all fine and white
That goes dancing as a sprite
Up and up until it circles in the bosom of
the sky,
And the milkweed's bursting pod
That the hayward breezes nod
White 1t filings its treasures to them as they
gally scurry by.
Crickets chipping in Groom
Through the still mid afternoon,
Snowy clouds that CLEAN as brightly as a
distant sun-'lsSed sail,
Whispered rustic of the corn
mat would have sound fOrl0rn
Were 1T not for all the piping of the merry
hearted quail.
Now cut clover that is sweet
AS 1t was in summers heat
And that watts a breath of fragrance clean
and pure as that of June;
blossoms Oh the very weeds
Mingled with the falling seeds
AS though lowered spring and ripened
days of autumn are in tune.
And the woodbne'S scarlet stream,
Down the oak trees side agleam.
Like the Drumming of goblet filled with
rare autllmnal wine,
And the falling of the hulls
In the bushes and the lullS
Times the melody that murmurs in these
hearts of yours and mine.
Ho, the brown leaves and the red
UnderfOot and overhead
And the naples golden glory in the sun
sets WondrOus haze
With the wine-tang in the air,
So we stand with heads all bare
And thank God for all the Goodness of the
rare October days!

TT is really surprising that the Demo-

lasted so long. George Fred Williams
disrupted it by running for governor.
The fragments were frozen stiff by Jo-

BUY IN YOUR OWN TOWN.

DID you ever notice that, as a very
general rule, the most successful men
IN any community are the men who
patronize home industry? They GER
tainly are. The man who spends an
hour in writing, then some DAYS in
waiting, and halt a dollar in express
charges, to get some work done out of
town that does not quite suit him after
all, simply because the outof-toWn
man as bait does the work for him %
cents cheaper than his regular price,
such man has not made much out of
the operation itself; and he has not
rendered his nelghbors very anxious to
help him some time when he really
needs help and when the help of neigh
borS only Will be of service.
The man who sends away from home
for everything which he imagines he
can get there a few cents cheaper than
at home, never minding the consequent
extra bother and delays, and the mail,
express or freight charges,-such
man is not using very good business
Judgment, nor is he taking course
likely in the long run to make him
especially proud Of himself or likely to
increase his trade or bis friends.
Look where you like, the man who
patroniZes home institutions as far as
he can is not only the popular man but
the prosperous man. And the town
that has the most of such men, in
other words has the most town spirit,
is almost always the town that attracts
strangers and business to itself and
that thrlVes immeasurably more than
the town made up OF people who worry
greatly lest they should assist some of
their neighborS to make a living. Do
your business in your own town.
Patronize your neighbors; they then
will patIonlze you.-Fort Fairfield Re

PLEASING HIS
 MOTHER

Maude, dear, I'm so glad to see you! Perhaps I do look little blue, but it's so hard to please-every one. Yes, it's Mrs. Benton-I mean it's mother. But one has to try to please a mother-in-law, for she, being older, can't afford to waste her time trying to please you.
 She isn't pleased with my way Of marketing and you know that 1 never did any before 1 was married. Only yesterday 1 wanted something extra because Mrs. Benton-mother was visiting us and l asked the butcher for some mincemeat He said they didn't keep it, and suggested trying the delicatessen store. To cover my mistake l looked at my list and said: "Oh, yes, it was sweetbreads 1 want ed-I suppose they are at the delica- tessen, too
 But he had them. They looked so different from anything 1 had ever eaten-maybe it was because l had never seen them before they were cooked-anyway, the bill was awfully hISH, duu DcCduoS lIiSS uluh lOOh III yiting just gave them to the janitor's wife. George laughed about it, but Mrs. Ben-mother said it was very eXtravagant.
 II made delicious pudding-a GUS tard sponge cake kind; the custard part was lovely, but the soonges were so tough! l must have got the wrong kind.
 George wanted to help we with the work, but his mother said she never had considered it part of mans work She has @ lot of old-fashioned notions about it's being degrading for man to do womans work. George always helps me, doesn't your-I mean if you had one wouldn't he?
 When Mrs. Ben-his mother came into the kitchen, she looked around in

a superior way and said she didn't see that We had done much tidying up, though We had been gone so long. Of course after that George didn't of fer to help, but went right into the other room and his-my-our mother said she would wipe the dishes
 "I felt all choked up-you see, hadn't had chance to kiss George before he went into the parlor-and he had been gone all day. His mother doesn't think it dignified to do that way.
 Then there was more trouble I offered her nice dish towel-one that l had hemstitched myself-and she fairly snorted: When you have been married little longer you will be willing to economize and use flour sacks for dishcloths, as do.
 I'll get some, l said. What do they cost?' But this proved the wrong thing to say.
 She pulled herself up proudly and answered, 'Nothing-they ccme with the flour
 1ISllI lIlGu l IlIduS u1 lily uliuu lO please her because l really want her to like me So 1 went to the market and told the grocer wanted some flour. He asked me how much and I said I needed a half-dozen sacks. but perhaps three would do.
 II didn't have anything to put the flour in so that l could set the sacks and I haven't discovered vet what 1 can use the flour for; but I can use some of it for paste-George has so many newspaper clippings.
 George came home early, for he knew that his mother was shopping and that she wouldn't leave as long as there was a store open. l told him to come and empty the flour and when he saw it he laughed-like a goose.
 Where can we put it?' l asked, tearfully.
 He looked around and then rushed to the laundry tubs.
