The Charm of Doing Good.

Benefcence has this peculiarity-that
the more we exercise it the more pleas
ure we find in its exercise. We attach
ourselves to the unfortunate object that
we relieve, and the assistance we give
him becomes want to those by whom
it is administered. He who has once
caused the tears of gratitude to flow
and who can afterward seek pleasure
sweeter than that is not worthy of
feeling all the charm of doing good

Whether the Standard Oil Co.
wiggles out of that 20 million dollar
fine or not, it cannot longer evade
the judgment of the people for being
an outlaw and law-breaker. The re-
cent suits against the octopus have
changed suspicion to conviction, so
far as the reading public is con-
cerned, and we believe AWAY will be
found for correcting the monopoly
evil and giving legitimate competi-
ton a show.

Last winter, a bill, introduced by
Senator Flint, California, was fav-
orably reported by the senate pub
lie lands committee, appropriating
the money derived from the sales
of government lands in the eastern
states, and while the bill was not
reached for a vote. Senator Flint
took a poll of the senate and found
a generally favorable sentiment. In
speaking to him Of its chances, Rep
resentative STEVENSON of Minnesota,
the originator of the bill in the
House, said:

President Roosevelt's vacation is
over and the octopuses are on the
ragged edge.

Attorney General Young recently
laid himself liable to contempt of
Judge Lochren's court. Judging
from the expressions of our Mime
sofa exchanges, they find it impos-
sible to express the contempt the
plain people have for Judge Loeb
ren's decisions on sundry corpora
ton cases.

Flint, if you will get the bill
passed in the Senate, we can put it
through the House"
1t is understood that deter
mined effort is to be made next
winter to secure its enactment into
law, and always an aggressive
champion Of such internal improve
ments, it goes without saying that
President Roosevelt will lend it his
support.
PROVIDES A REVOLVING FUND.
| The bill provides that the fund,
Just as in the case of the irrigation
fund, shall become revolving one,
viz: the cost Of the reclamation to
be borne by the lands benefited and
paid back to the government, and
| to be used over again on new pro-
iects, ad infinitunn.
It appropriates the receipts from
land sales for two years, amounting
to about 81 600, 900 and also adds a
direction appropriation of $780,
600, but even should the latter be
struck out, there would still be an
additional annual automatic appro-
priation Of about S500,000, to be
used over and over. With the low
cost of drainage reclamation. this
would enable the Reclamation serv-
ice to make a very creditable start.
SOME OF THE BIG SWAMP AREAS.
Among the great swamp areas of
the country are the Sacramento and
San Joaquin valleys, California, the
Kankakee swamps Of Indiana, sew
eral large projects in Minnesota and
Illinois, the St. Francis Basin and
entire Lower Mississippi river re-
gion. the Great Dismal Swamp of
Virginia, the Everglades of Florida,
and various others. large and small.
Of these the Everglades is the larg-
est, though the drainage of the
lower Mississippi lands, taken as a
whole in connection with river inn
provement, is vast work Of some
20, 900, 900 acres.
The drainage of the swamps of
Florida is a fascinating problem.
Until recently it was supposed that
| the Everglades were at the sea level,
but surveys have determined that
Lake Okeechobee, the great reser-
voir Of South Florida, is about 20
feet above tide water and that its
drainage would be easy. The cele-
brated Dismal Swamp which Gen
eral Washington predicted would
some day be reclaimed has been al
ready practically drained. Another
of the great swamp areas is the
Kankakee marshes of Indiana, where
land already reclaimed is valued at
over 5000 per acre.
Students Of the subject claim, that
taken all in all, drainage reclama-
ton is second to no internal i'm
provement in the United States and
that carried to completion it means
that tens of millions of acres of the
most fertile land possible which has
lain idle for centuries. may be con-
verified from dismal and pestilential
swamps into highly prosperous
homes, to become the garden spots
Of the nation.

A Dangerous Measure Killed.

The people of Maine are to be con
graduated upon one thing which was
done in the legislature last week, when
the senate, by a vote of Is to Is, defeat.
ed the bill which gave the Union Water
Power Co. authority to deepen the out
lets of the Rangeley Lakes, and draw
them down to maximum of six feet be-
low their natural level during the winter
months. Senator Hastings took an
active and creditable part in defeating
the measure.
No one is disposed to make light of
the advantage which it would be to the
industries of Lewiston, Rumford Falls
and other places to be assured of an
ample supply of water during the
months when there is now q possibility
of scarcity. II that was all of il, there
would be no discussion. But there is
another side to the matter. Aside from
all sentimental considerations regarding
the damage done to our most beautiful
Maine lakes. and purely as cold bust
able an asset to the state as whole,
even TO be experimental with in the
manner provided by the bill.
Mr.. Edward p. Kicker of Poland
Spring has made lot of money out of
the summer business of Maine, and it is
appropriate, but nevertheless praise
worthy in him, that some of it should be
spent, as he has spent it, in educating
the people through the newspapers to
the dangers in this BILL He can we'll
afford to be characterized in the legisla-
tive discussions AS the writer of "Tom
Lawson letters"

Johns Lister.

The other day Miss Annie Tuttle heard
. cry Of distress in her hon house, and
she went to learn the cause and found an
enormous hawk had killed Z hen and was
sitting down to dinner. She shut the
door and called to Wallace, and he came
armed and equipped ~ the law directs,
and Mr.. Hawk was dead hawk pretty
soon. -Four feet IL the spread Of his
wings. Clarence Shaw will have the set
ting up Of him. He claims that 1t 10 the
largest hawk he ever saw.
Again the old cows test has riz from
IA some to Is something. If there is to
be and must be a bobbing about we
greatly prefer the bobbing up to the bob
bling down process.
Charley says he wishes that he was .
farmer, so that he would have nothing to
do but to CAD and 60 TO the oranges.
That remark was called out by seeing our
face set Is II we would 60 to West Minot
to the Pomonas' meet. Well, We did 60,
taking our face along with us-such as 1t
Is. And we have had NO reason to re-
greet 1t. It was q great day and there
were more In attendance than we can
correctly tell. Dixfield, Peru, Hartford,
Sumner and Buckfield helped to enlarge
the throng that gathered from the lower
towns. We met with those we used to
know and with very many that we never
knew and never shall know.
And in all that throng we saw no two
who looked alike. And yet all that 90 to
make up the human face divine were in
proper position. Nature seems to de-
light In an endless variety. We cannot
understand how, with such limited
capital OF noses, eyes, ears, lips and
things, she can throw on the canvas of
the world such variety. o, she Is an
artist. She Is great on combination.
Since boyhood's happy days we had
not stopped off, at West Minot, and
whatever changes may have taken place,
certain it is that the substantial brick
station and the beautiful and convenient
grange hall were not visible to the naked
eye. Indeed, that was long before the
grange idea had entered into the head or
heart OF man.
Only one thing throughout the day
created an unpleasant feeling. We rode
home in the "smoker" as 1t was not
crowded, and there was q young man
almost helplessly drunk. II l look and
act so idiotic as he looked and acted
when am booty, and you will prove 1t
to me, I will drink no more while the
world stauds-or I will water my rum
considerably.

ALBANY,

Your correspondent having been hous-
ed for the past two months with the
grippe, has not been able to secure much
news. Every one living knows that wo
have had some very cold weather, for
what had been prophesied to be an open
winter. But now we are having some
fine March days, and we all feel thankful
for the prospect of spring soon appear
ing.
We are also glad that the grippe is
fast disappearing from town, as there
was never such a sickly time known in
Albany for the past fifty years, as We
have bad the past two months. Over
fifty were sick at one time in Albany,
but only two deaths resulted.
At its annual meeting, held recently,

Will Bird, one of our town hunters,
had quite an exciting time the other
night. He visited his fox camp to watch
for foxes on the bait Soon one appear
ed and fell under the fire from the camp,
and was taken in. Then q second one
appeared and met the same kind of .
reception, but Bird thought as the ami
NAL lay still, he would wait and see If
any more were coming. Shortly he dis
covered that his game was on the run,
SO he gave chase, and soon found him
sprawled out on the snow, and took him
by the leg and dragged him into the
camp. He waited few minutes longer.
when third fox appeared, and Bird
tried to send him his compliments, but
his gun missed fire and he missed his
fox. The hunter then returned to the
house, having been gone just an hour
and fifteen minutes. He left his two
foxes on the front porch, and went into
the house and told what be had done,
and invited the family out to see his
game. When he opened the door he
saw one Of the foxes leap up and take to
his heels, whereupon Bird seized an
old broom and gave chase. After run
ming about thirty rods the fox under
took to play dodge around the mail box
post, but when he made the turn Bird
made dive and got him by the tail,
and beat him with the broomstick until
he fixed him. So he got his pelt.

EFFECT OF THE FOOD LAW.

DRIVING MANY WORTHLESS cATARRH
MEDICINES OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Many worthless remedies that have
been advertised for the cure OF catarrh
have been driven ont Of existence BY the
Pure Food Law.
This has naturally increased the sale
Of reliable remedies, and those that fol.
fill the provisions of the law. Hyomei,
for example. has larger sale than be,
fore, and r. A. Shurtlef & Co. still sell
It under guarantee that It will cure ca
tarrh or the money will be refunded.
Breathe Hyomei three or four times
daily through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit, and Its
healing air will reach the most remote
parts OF the nose, throat and lungs, kill.
ing all catarrhal germs and soothing and
healing any irritation in tho mucous
membrane.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs 81 /,

by F. A. Shurtleff & Co. under guarantee
that it will cure or cost nothing.

Last Weeks City Elections

As far as partisan advantage is con.

last Monday, neither Republicans nor
Democrats can claim any overwhelming
gain from last year. The Republicans
elected their candidates for mayor in

last year went Democratic, while the
Democrats elected the mayor in Bath,
Eastport, Ellsworth and Hallowell,
which were Republican last year. Some
Of the cities elected mayor of one party
