CHAPTER VII. aCsoOd-bye to Hope, Goodbye, Good

Bye."
 During the next month events moved rapidly in the quiet little village or Laverstone.
 William Tankerlane left for London shortly after the inquest. His depart ure excited no comment. as he spent a good deal of his time away from his fathers house.
 A week afterwards John Shil resign ed his post as land agent to Sir Robert Tankerlane. His resignation formed topic for conversation throughout the villages on the estate, and was dis cussed every evening in all the pulp lic-houses in the district. It was a Robert, who had a genuine liking for the young man, and who doubted it his successor would act so thoroughly as a buffer between him and his tenants. He offered to raise the agents salary but John Shil was firm. He made no secret about the reason for his departure.
 'You know. Sir Robert" he said. in answer to the baronet's protestations, that my engagement to Miss Vane has been broken off. It is impossible for me to remain where I am likely to meet and see her every day. I am sorry, but I must go elsewhere"
 "Drat the women," said the baro- net fiercely, I've no patience with 'em. Stay here, my boy and get her to change her mind, or I'll turn old Vane out of the farm. and they can clear off the estate"
 ''That would be rather hard on them. Sir Robert" Shil replied with a smile. ''After all. Miss Vane has a perfect

For many years the caricaturists have
used donkey to personify the Demo-
cratic party, an elephant for the Repub-
lican party, and tiger for Tammany.
The animals thus used are of course
unable to protest against it, and appar-
emily no one else has cared to do so. The
other day, however, Bryan came to the
defence of the Democratic donkey, &C
cepting the long cared animal with the
hearty voice as fitting representative
of the party he expects to nominate
him for the third time. He thereby
stirred up hornets nest. The king of
the hornets is the New York Sun, and
its particular sting was as follows:
Mr.. Bryan's apostrophe to the Demo-
cratic donkey emanated from an en-
lightened heart. That the Democratic
party is donkey no sane person will
dispute. The fact that for eleven dreary
and disastrous years it has been ridden
to the edge of exhaustion, if not death,
by cheap and ratfish mountebank like
Bryan removes the proposition from
the realm of controversy. But will the
Southern Democracy relish this con-
temptuous appraisement from that par
ticular source, and if so, to what ex.
tent? There is already reason to believe
that the South is awakening to reall
zation of its folly and stupidity. There
is reason to believe that it may sooner
or later perhaps sooner-reject the
ass's role.

The Journals recent article on Texa!

The Journals recent article on Texas
reviewing the marvellous changes in the
past so years, has been published in two
of the most widely circulated and inf1u-
entail newspapers of that State and we
are hearing from it in the form of let
tiers and boom literature. One letter,
with enclosures, is devoted to East
Texas, "the land of great opportuni-
ties, wonderful resources and amazing
possibilities. How is that for boom
literature? Another letter is dated
philanthropy, Dec. 8, and postmarked

The Maine druggists are up against it
by reason of recent action of the Treas
ury Department. AS the State authori-
ties regard payment of the government
tax as prima facia evidence of the sale
of liquor many druggists have given up
selling liquor in any form and stopped
paying a government tax. Now the
Treasury Department has issued cir
cular containing list OF patent medi-
cines and states that druggists handling
those patent remedies will be expected
to pay liquor dealers tax. This would
make them liable to prosecution by the
State, so they must now pay the govern
ment tax on those medicines Or stop
selling them. The Bath Independent
reports local druggists as saying that
the list of medicines given by the Treas
ury Department are those which are not
handled to any extent by dealers here in
the East anyway, SO that they will not
be affected; but as the department
promises to issue new lists every once
in while they are wondering what
preparation the next list will name.

DR.. G. Lantry Crockett is preparing
to launch an ndependenceLeague move.
ment in Knox county after the New
Year, and the leaders who read the
doctor out of the Democratic party are
beginning to get worried. And wit
reason. DR.. Crockett has for a long
time been an important factor in Dem
ocratic politics in Knox county, and is
known as an able and energetic man
loyal to his friends, and has an excellent
memory He is backed in this league
movement by VIM. Randolph Hearst of
New York and may have as an ally Hon
L. M. Staples of Washington, who has
large personal following in Knox coun-
ty. Senator Staples would like the Dem
ocratic nomination for Governor, and
has so declared, but notice has been
served on him that he cannot have the
place. AS he cannot fight the leaders it
will not be strange if he breaks away
from his old party associates and be-
come power in the Independence
League movement. If so he will be the
logical candidate of that party for Gov
ernor Evidently there will be some
thing doing in Knox county next sum-
mer.

The Aroostook Times (Houlton) says:
AT no time in the history of Aroos-
took county, has there been a time,
when there was SO much literature per-
tanning to mining schemes and wild
cat propositions coming into this coun-
ty as at present" That is true of other
sections, and The Aroostook Times is
doing good service in warning its read
ers against these "get-rich- quick"
schemes. 1t is surprising that so many
people should be led to invest in them,
for, as The Times suggests, if this was
reliable dividend paying stock they
would not have to come so far from the
financial districts as Aroostook county
to dispose of it. Thousands of dollars
have been taken out of Maine by fnan-
cial takers, which might now be earn
ing per cent in the local banks.

Gentlemen" wrote a disappointed
reader to a publishing house the other
day, cant you find some authors to
duplicate such novels of the past as
The Moonstone, The Three Guards
men, The White Company, Brake
speare,' and books of life, vigor and
mentality? The present-day books are
wishy -washy and effeminate."
The disappointed reader might we'll
have added that these books, many of
them, are puerile, prurient, tawdry
and tiresome. That they soon find their
level is shown by the fact that within
a year or SO of their publication many
of the best sellers" are seen on the
bargain counters at fractions of their

A synopsis of the proceedings of the
State Grange, which met in Lewiston
last week, is given in other columns.
State master Gardeners address shows
a gain of twelve subordinate oranges
during the year. During the ten years
of his service as master the grange has
grown from 21,515 September, 1897, to
to 5000, growth not equalled by any
other State in the Union. One in
every twelve persons in Maine belongs
to the grange. His report advocates
the parcels post law as approved by
United States Postmaster General Won
Meyer and includes a criticism of the
express companies for opposition there
to. The establishment of postal saw
ings banks is also advocated. He SUBJ
mitted the draft of new bill to amend

unjust to poor taxpayers. The pro-
posed amendment substitutes ''the first

He suggested also a resolution to the

Everyone in Belfast Has a Right to His

While everyone has right to his own
opinion, yet it is wise to always consider
what others think and profit by their
experience
Nothing makes life so miserable, or inter
feres so widely with the usefulness of the
average American, as Indigestion, and it is
well for US to give fair consideration to
what others think about this remarkable
aff1iction.
A. A. Howes & Co. are positive that in
Mona stomach tablets they have an
absolute cure for Indigestion and the many
disagreeable symptoms that follow this
disease, such as distress after eating, coated
tongue, bad taste in the mouth, dizzine S.,
fatulence, nervousness and debility.
Their action in selling Mi-o-na OH a
guarantee to refund the money unless it
cures, shows plainly their belief in the
value of this remedy. They take all the
risk, and there will he no charge whatever
for M-o-na unless you are satisfied that it
has relieved you of Indigestion. 2w52

While we have had no official notice
we have seen in many of our exchanges
what purports to be recent ruling of
the post Office department which out
Maddens Madden, the late and unla-
mented third assistant postmaster
general. Madden, it will be remember
ed, proposed to compel the newspapers
of the country to make up an alleged
deficiency in the postal revenues, while
continuing to pay the railroads an ex-
horbitant price for carrying the mails
and making no effort to correct notori-
GUS abuses of the franking privilege.
This alleged recent ruling goes farth-
er; and, as the Kennebec journal says,
'if rigidly enforced will result in cut
ting in two more than three-fourths of
the newspaper circulation of this coun-
try and entailing burden of loss upon
the publishers which would be disas-
trous in the extreme" In brief, it says
that newspapers shall not be sent to
subscribers who are more than a year
in arrears unless at transient rates, pre-
paid by stamps; and it makes other
unjust and unjustiiable changes in the
postal laws, detrimental alike to the in
terests of the publisher and the public.
This ruling is to 60 into effect JAN /,
1908, so that if it is really authentic no
time is given to prepare for what will
necessitate radical change in the
newspaper publishing business. 1t is,
however, so glaring usurpation of the
law-making power, vested in Congress,
that we are led to believe it is the work
of some underling of the post Office de-
partment, and was issued without
proper consideration by the head of
that department. Its author should
be made to follow Madden into retire
ment.
