THE GOOSE MAN WAS IN H1s GoOsERY. ration of an article I read in scien- tif1c magazine the other day. Mrs. Bowser, what change do you see in that cat since the fall season set in?"
 "None whatever"
 Had you asked me the same Ques- ton yesterday should have answered 1t in the same way. Now l must tell you that see dozen changes. You will observe that his eyes are brighter and have more intense color. There is certain elation about him. There Is an alertness that strikes you at once He Is no longer morbid or lymphatic He is no more the cat he was last Au- gust than day Is like night"
 "Well?" asked Mrs. Bowser.
 "Well. the same or other changes have taken place in all other animals in the horse. the OK, the dog, the fowls of the air and of the coor. They have taken place in mankind itself. Ever since the world was created there have been changes of seasons, but up to this present moment mankind has not been ready to admit that all things change with the seasons. It stands to reason that they do, however"
 "And. if they do, then what"
 ''Then we have solved one of the hu- man problems. If man changes his na- ture four times year, as the seasons change, then he has but to discover when he is at his best and his worst to guard against things. Am l the same man I was last spring or last summer"
 You didn't kick about last months gas bill''
 Then there has been a change in me. That was the very point I was fishing for. If we can secure a few other instances, we can set 1t down that human nature is greater kicker over the small gas bills of summer than over the big ones of winter"
 But haven't we got to take human nature as we find it, good and bad?' asked Mrs. Bowser.
 We have had to, but when we find human natures best and worst seasons we can shape our course accordingly. Suppose that the spring season is your mean and cantankerous season. As soon as discover it treat you differ ently from what I otherwise would Suppose my cantankerous season is the summer. You know 1t. and you don't talk back to me during those three months. Is crime more rampant in spring, summer, autumn or winter and why? Are there more divorces in March than November? Does our con- science upbraid us more in January than July? Why should we give a tramp 10 cents in September and the boot in April?"
 It was beyond Mrs. Bowser, and she simply shook her head.
 Tt is changes, my dear, changes. Last August seriously thought of getting a divorce from you for your extravagance in using up clothespins. Tonight l feel that l could not sever the bond under any circumstances, not even If you smashed half the crockery In the house. What has changed me except the change of season? If a man has criminal desires in the spring. he must fight them off until summer. If the summer makes a man soft and mellow and an easy mark, he must have guardian appointed until Sep. tember comes. already begin to un. derstand that my season for being req; good begins with the arst fall month.

Club Women OF Chicago,

Last Wednesday afternoon q talk on the
work done by club women in Chicago was
given to the members OF the Unitarian
by Miss Frances lie Baron, who for many
years has been prominent member OF the
Chicago Woman's club, one of the oldest
organizations of its kind in the country
and which now has a membership OF 200.
Miss lie Baron spoke in a most interest
ing way ON the various departments OF
work in which the club is engaged, among
them the travelling libraries that are be-
ing followed by committee on story
telling to children between the hours OF
4 land each afternoon; the juvenile court
with the schools connected with it, to
which children who are brought before
the court are committed by the judge at
his discretion. They are the Detention
home school, Parental school for truants,
John Worthy school for delinquents,
Glenwood school for dependents, and jail
school. Vacation schools are an import
ant part of the club work, as are the
school children's and society for provid-
ihS hpSehAsOds WIN SiotDlLS
also the public school art society, that
furnishes works of art for schools in the
poorer districts, and ''the outdoor league"
that plants trees in school yards and small
parks.
Among the work for older people was
mentioned the model lodging house for
women, the civic and neighborhood i'm.
DrOyemeut committees and the sl0per
| Door,. an arrangement by which all
women and girls are invited to the club
rooms for two hours on Sunday afternoons
and given Coos music or an entertaining
/ talk on some interesting subject.
| The talk ended with an account of Miss
Jane Adams, of Hull House, and hel
work. Violin solos by George P. Paine
! with Miss Margaret Dresser aecompan
list, contributed greatly to the pleasure o
| the afternoon.

Keith,s Theatre. Boston.

=
Never since the Fadettes have been com
ing to Keith's theatre have they scored
more heavily than they did when they
commenced their sixth annual engage
ment last Monday, and never have they
played better. Mrs. Nichols conducts in
the same charming way, while the pro-
grammes are selected with good judg-
ment. Admirers OF the Fadettes should
not forget that their engagement is for
five weeks only this season.
A notable feature OF next weeks bill viii
be the appearance of Edgar l.. Davenport
and his company in dramatic sketch
entitled 1.-THE Man About Town. II Is
doubtful II he has ever been better cast
than in this sketch.
Another event out Of the ordinary will
be the professional debut OF H. d. Gard
ner, who was the star of the most recent
OF the Bankers theatricals. He is to do q
monologue of stories and songs.
Matthews and Ashley are to present the
latest version Of their conversational and
singing slxit, "a Smash Up in Chinatown .
one of the most amusing turns in vaude-
vile. The Elton Polo troupe, in a great
casting act; the Otto brothers, two Boston
boys, as German comedians; Ray Cox, a
southern girl who sings southern songs
Sophy Everett and company, in a droll
sketch; Stevenson and Nugent, singers
and dancers; Charley Farrell, delineator
OF the old-time darby, and the kineto-
graph, with timely pictures, will complete
the bill.

Unwise Opposition .

Opposition to the building of an
electric railway between Ellsworth
and Bar 9arbor on the part OF por-
ton OF the summer colony at that
resort has taken the form of q petition
demonstrating against the building of
the road. The ground of the opposi-
ton is that it is ''inimical to the best
interests of the resort.
This opposition seems to as to be
il-timed, ILL advised, and, in view of
the work that has already been done,
and the character of those who are
doing it, wholly unwarranted.
Mt. Desert island is no inconsider-
able part of the state of Maine; apart
from it's Importance as a summer
resort, its commercial and industrial
interests are large and constantly
growing, and it is unreasonable to
expect that these all-the-year round
interests shall be subordinated forever
to the convenience of limited num-
Der OF summer residents.
All this has been already recognized
by many summer residents who, glad
as they would be personally to keep a
railroad OF the island, being keen
business men themselves, perceive
the trend of things, have no
desire to Withstand the rising wave of
public sentiment, and, submitting
gracefully to the inevitable, take the
matter Of building road into their
own hands with view of meeting a
public demand with the least posi-
bic distur bance of existing conditions
on the island.
In surveying the route infinite pains
have been taken to avoid the public
highways as far as possible, and to
discover an entrance into Bar Harbor
that will be the least Objectionable
from every point of view.
For the most part, property owners
along the entire route have met the
builders in friendly spirit, and the
few Engagements have been ami
cably adjusted.
The Mt. Desert Transit Co. has
back Of it men Of high standing and
unlimited means; men who, it is fair
to assume, have the best interests of
Bar Harbor as a summer resort quite
as much at heart as those who are so
violently opposing the scheme.
Under all the conditions, it seems
to us that opposition to the building
Of this road is unjustifiable. The
opponents better submit gracefully to
the inevitable, and, instead Of trig-
ging the wheels of progress, cooper
ate with their friends and neighbors
in making the road the best of its
kind.

OBITUARY.

Annie joy, wife Of Fred w. Stanton, OF
Boston, and daughter OF Capt. and Mrs.
Henry j. Joy, OF this city, died at her
summer home in Lincolnville last Thurs-
day, July Is. in the thirty-fifth year OF her
age.
Although not wholly unexpected, the
news OF Mrs. Stanton's death was received
in Ellsworth with the keenest sorrow.
She had been IL. for long time with con-
sumption, and everything that medical
skill could do was done to avert the inevi-
table.
Mrs. Stanton spent the past winter and
spring here at the home OF her parents,
and only few weeks ago was removed to
her husbands summer home at Lincoln-
vile. where il was hoped change of
climate and environment might prove
beneficial.
A change for the worse came about a
week ago, and her parents were sent for.
and they. together with her husband, her
sister, Miss Bessie NJ, and her brother,
Harry j., we're with her when the end
came.
Mrs. Stanton was held in the highest es-
TEEN by a wide circle OF friends. Before
her marriage she was prominent in social
life and church work Her charm Of
manner made everyone her friend. The
entire community feels her death as a
personal loss, and keenly sympathizes
with the stricken family.
Besides husband, father, mother, sister
aud brother, she leaves a lovely two-year-
old daughter. who through the mothers
lingering illness has been tenderiy cared
for by the grandparents and aunt.
The funeral was at Lincoinville last
Sunday. The remains were taken to
Boston for interment.

The fishermen along the Maine coast are
encouraged to believe that at the next
session of Congress bounty will be
offered for the determination OF the dog
fish. The movement for bounty started
with the fishermen of Orr's Island, and
they are still working to secure the aid OF
the government. They believe that a
moderate bounty per ton would mean the
starting of refneries and the turning OF
millions of dogfish into oil and the best
possible fertilizer.
