Goods on the Sidewalk.

Editors kennebcc Journal:
After travelling in many of our sister
cities in our grand old State of Maine,
| can truly say that in none of them
have | seen better main streets. Our
sidewalks are wide, smooth and an
ornament to any main street. but in no
other city have | seen 50 many goods
exposed for exhibition upon the side
walks. and arranged in such Z hazard
Gus manner. 1t has been understood
that some Of our local dealers own a
certain portion Of the sidewalk in front
Of their stores. If this is true | would
like to ask whether it be the front
back, or middle of the sidewalk chat
they own and if it be the whole Of it. Us
| see some of them try to use, [ think
it would be far more safe for the citi-
Zens Of Augusta 10 walk in the street.
on Saturday evening our sidewalks
are crowded and il has already reached
the time that a sober person, to say
nothing of an intoxicated one, cannot
go the length of Water street without
falling over a strawberry crate, banana
stand. velOcipede, chair, laWn-moWer,
barrel of beans, corn, or other obstruc-
ton.
Chapter VII, Sect. / of the city Ordi-
nanccs says: "Any person who shall
expose goods for sale on any street,
lane or sidewalk without written per-
NIT from the mayor. shall forfeit five
dollars for each offence" 1t looks to
me that if these merchants have been
given a written permit to obstruct our
sidewalks, that the privilege has been
abused. ana if no permits have been
given. some officer Of the law ought to
take trip W the street and pick up 4
handsome pocket full Of VS. for fines.
If the people of this city only knew
what they were eating when they buy
food products exposed upon the side
walks, the people who thus advertise
would lose trade. These things not
only collect the dust and filth which Is
| in the air, but are also given constant
attention by all the wandering dogs on
| the street.
This is a question which is vel
worthy of your consideration as 4 citi-
| zen and one which I heartily recon-
mend to our city government Board o.
| Trade or any other organization that
will free our city Of these hazardous
unhealthy Instructions and make oul
| city the paradise and example for other
| places as well.

One Of Augustus fishing enthusiasts

One of Augustus fishing enthusiasts
caught a fine salmon at Coboossee-
contee Sunday and without fishing ior
it. He had been fishing, but when the
dinner hour came he left his rod lying
on the float, the hook being balted with
n bunch of worms. and went INTO me
cottage. Nothing more was thousht
of the fishing apparatus until one OF
the party heard the singing or reel
and on going to the door of the cottage
to investigate saw the fishermans line
making for the middle of the lake in a
way which plainly told that there was
something of a goodly size at the other
end of it. The fisherman ran down 70
the float and soon snubbed the run
away. and after a battle which lasted
some little time succeeded in landlng
at mis- feet a salmon which weighed
over three pounds.

STILL PURSUING.

It begins to seem that the most per- slstent optimist will have to give May up as an accident, an exception to the rule. or something else that isn't cheeringly regular. The month is al most gone. and there have been two days in 1t which might have been call- ed and were called May days in lieu of something better. There may be one or two. May days yet If there are they will be thankfully lived in. If not we shall have to go on into June with the same hope that inspired us when we went into May. And if June doesn't work there will still be July, Never give up. It is wiser and bet ter. Providence kindly has mingled the cup" So says the poet, and the poet says right. Let's hang on in hope all summer, even if there is no summer. There will be summer sometime.

his private character but even calling and opinions. The following poem, in all charity, we may now feel to have truthfully represented the man. and which a writer In the Nation claimed. at the time. had never been ,outgrown or departed from save in the one unfor- tune particular, adding, Whoever finds intidelity in it might possibly discover heresy in the sermon on the Mount and immortality in the Ten Commandments" A POETS CREED. As other men have creeds, so have l mine.
 keep the holy faith in God, in man, And in the angels ministrant between. I hold to one true church of all true souls; Whose churchly seal is neither bread nor wine;
 Nor laying on of hands, nor holy oll But only the amounting of Gods grace hate all Kings, and caste, and rank Of birth;
 For all the sons of man are sons of God; Nor limps besgar but Is nobly born; Nor wears a slave yoke nor czar a crown, That makes him less or more than just | q man. l I love my country and her righteous ! na1Sat
 So dare not keep silent of her sin; And after Freedom may her bells ring Peace! love one woman with holy fire, Whom I revere as priestcss of my 1 house; I stand with wondering awe before my babes, ITill they rebuke me to nobler life. I keep faithful friendship with my

IWO SIDES ITO IT.

Some of the ambitious young men of this country will be impressed by the stories which are coming of what the recent wheat deal has done for young men in brokers offices in Chicago. By buying wheat right" young men have become moderately rich in the twink ling of an eye, or little more. Forty fifty, seventy, one hundred and twen- ty, two hundred and fifty thousand are sums mentioned which have drop ped into the pockets of lucky and smart young men.
 The other side of the story is moi yet coming out of Chicago. but it is and has been coming out of Wal street, where there has been healthy or unhealthy, reaction in prices. Smart young men have been unlucky there and are thinking of committing suicide or going to work. In one case 2 young man lost the very comfortable fortune which had been left him. ant then a young friend who thought he could carry the load and help hi friend out lost his comfortable fortune too.
 So the money comes and goes. Per. haps it is idle to preach to young me1 about the dangers of speculation. They sec only it's successes and expect then for themselves. But the dangers ar, there just the same, and they industri ously stay there,
