selves popular with their constituents
is a joy unalloyed to the editorial
fraternity. Our national representa-
tives are now engaged in the pas
time Of devising ways and means to
wipe out the postal deficit and the
only thing they can think Of is to
quadruple the rate for newspaper
postage. making it four cents per
pound instead Of one cent per pound
as at present. The postal deficit
last year was about Sl1 .O0O. 900. but
the third assistant postmaster gen.
eral has figured out that il . charge
was made for the free service origi-
Mating in the government executive
departments and in Congress. such
as delivering garden seeds free graf
is to newspapermen. the revenue,
would be increased by approximate

PUNCH - E1i>nOfncf anu >stdfhe-
Il Is the most libeled and Hsli2ned
drink in the United States today
We have known instances where one
evening with a punch bowl has
caused three hitherto circumspect
individuals TO fall of the water
wagon. IL one drinks whisky
straight. or a cocktail or hi2hball.
there is q certainty zs 10 what the
ingredients are. and what the effect
will be: but when he goes against
punch it is like playing stud poker
you never know what the hole card
Of the punch bowl Is. Punch Was .
favorite drink with the ancients
before Noah got tired Of water and
il is a concoction common to all
tribes from the aborigines down to
the four hundred on San Juan
avenue.
Ms. Waldorf -Astor entertained At
a pink tea or something or other out
on San Juan avenue the other even
ing. She mixed up concotion and
designated it as punch. Her guests
arrive and all take chance at the
punch. Isn't this punch just SIM
ply too sweet for anything" they
gush. and Mrs. Waldorf Aster blush
es with pride and says: Yes. and
do you know il is the easiest thing
in the world to make. ! made it
this morning in Just little while.
You know you first take some rasp-
berries and mush them up and then
you chop some apples and then you
put in just little pine apple and
then you pour of the juice and put
in mint and let that soas good and
then you put in mustard and spices
To give il that sharp twang and then
you put in a pint Of lemon juice and
a dash of orange peel and then let il
set over night and boil it down and
add a little vanilla and sugar and
let it set for half day and then ice
i, and put in the eoloring.''
"Oh. how perfectly simple" they
all exclain. and then take another
big swig at the punch. commenting
upon the delightful and refreshing
taste and especially the twang. The
twang is the thing tina. counts al
ways punch.
"Yez. you know" continues Mrs.
Waldorf-Astor. the receipt calls
for port wine for colOring. bat ] do
not approve Of serving wines In any
form. 20 ! hunted around until !
found something that was about the
same color Of port wine and I used
it."
''Oh. dear. do tell US what il was
so We can make some just like it,"
why. certainly" says Mrs. Wal
dorf-Astor. it was cascara: you know
that looks just like port wine"

There is new Woodman in town.
He bears the euphonious cognomen
Of Updike. Last Monday evening
As John was taking a quiet stroll up
Santa Fe avenue he noticed a light
in the Woodman hall. and the sound
Of revelry by night. He came
across. as the saying goes. ascended
the stairway of the Woodman tenn
pie. approached the ante room. and
entered. The first thing he en-
countered was full-nedged goat in
battle array. The goat winked his
other eye and challenged him to an
encounter. and rs John is known to
he dead game. the def was accepted
instanter. The initiate used buck
ing broncho tactics on his goatship
and soon attained the mastery. when
the latter made dive for the door.
and with a tremendous clatter of
hoofs down the hallway. finally butt
cd into the outer portals Of La Junta
Camp. NJ. 3. which happened to be
in session. The entire lodge. aroused
by the clatter. rushed for the door
to see what was the matter. The
sentry threw open wide the portals.
and the goat with his rider made a
dive for the center of the hall For
few moments there was an exhi-
bition of goat busting that makes
broncho busting pale into insignifi-
canoe. Some times J. T. was on top.
and a. others his goatship appeared
to have the advantage. but the initi-
tate was a slayer and finally won on
points. being duly crowned with
the laurel wreath of full-fedged
Woodman.

There is nothing like advertising.
A short time ago a Boston paper
hunted up one of the pretty girls Of
The Hub" and printed her picture.
declaring that she was the most
beautiful girl in Massachusetts,.
Within the next thirty days she had
SEQ offers Of marriage. A paper in
Virginia. taking a hint from this.
printed the photos Of two famous
beauties and offered a prize to the
one having the greatest number of
offers Of marriage within twenty
four hours after the portraits were
published. The offers poured in BY
the dozens. and one beat the other
by three. and the prize was duly
awarded. All Of which shows that
the ordinary mortal doesn't recog.
nize a good thing until its merits
have been exploited in the daily
press. This holds good in every
thing. II has long been shown to bs
true in the dry goods market. in the
clothing trade. with boots and shoes,
real estate. groceries. and it is
equally true of humanity itself
See how men run after chorus girls.
They could find just as charming
beauties in their own Kitchens. but
the chorus girls are advertised and
the kitchen girls are not. therefore
the first are feted and toasted and
vAiIe the poer kitchen girls an
sasbbed end neglected. It Is al q

NO TURBINES NEXT SEASON

Frank S. Sherman of Rockland, su-
perintendent of the Bangor division of
the Eastern Steamship Company and
all connecting lines at Rockland, was
in Bangor last week, and in an inter-
view published in the Daily News said
81 don't think you will see the steamer
City of Belfast on this division next
summer. And of course i am not sure,
but it is probable that the Camden will
find service on the International in
stead of the Bangor division. 1t will
be two or three years before we are
ready for turbines here on the Penob-
scot, as extensive changes and ad-
ditions will be necessary at every
wharf.
Gin order to handle the turbines sue
cessfully they must be as quick at land
ings as the Side-wheel boats. And in
order to do that there must be some.
thing to stop them. In the summer it
is impossible to fiddle around at a
wharf for 20 minutes, which is neces.
sary if a captain doesn't wish to carry
the structure away. We must have
wharves that the steel boats can bang
into before we can have quick landings.
"In three or four years there will be
nothing down here but turbines, but
until that time-when the wharves are
repaired and changed think the City
of Rockland and the City of Bangor
will handle the business, just as they
have for many years past. I'm sorry
not to have the turbines down here, for
the Camden was a most beautiful ship.

these three miles are to be measured.
