Birds Robbed Mail Box
Lewiston Journal.l


A remarkable story of bird intelli-
gence is told by Henry Babb, of Bow
doinham, whose mail box is on the r.
F. d. route. One side of this box
is broken, and some time ago Mr..
Babb found bird had built her nest
in the box. going in through the
hole made by the broken place The
bird set up housekeeping In this novel
home, and now there are five young
birds and the mother
Several times the mail carriers have
tried to drive the bird away, and at
first they took out the nest and threw
it away, but every time the bird re-
turned, and after the young ones
came they gave up trying to disorder
them. Last week Mr.. Babb found the
signal set on the box and looked for
mail, but found none in the box
This happened a number of times,
SO often that he decided that some
one had tempered with the box. So
he asked the neighbors to watch out.
One day when neighbor, George
Hackett, drove by he saw a bird fly
ing from the box with something in
its mouth. He followed the bird to a
tree some distance away, and there
the bird stopped and after dropping
the article she carried flew away.
Mr. Hackett went under the tree
and found four letters addressed to-
Mr.. Babb. Each one had been brought
apparently by this unusual messenger
just why the same tree was selected
every time seems strange. One
theory advanced to account for the
removal of the letters is that their
presence in the box interfered with
the domestic arrangements of the
feathered ledger, who took this way
to get rid of them.

Religion and Politics.

Suggestions of opposition or favor
to a presidential candidate because OF
his religious belief or disbelief is so
fragrant an anarchronism as seems to
call for ridicule rather than denunci-
alton. While the religious orthodoxy
or heterodoxy of public men, at vari-
GUS periods in our history, has been
openly and even acrimoniously dis
cussed, the American people never
have consented and never will consent
to the application of any doctrinal
tests, but have repeatedly repudiated
the attempt to introduce such tests in
our politics.
If this was true in generations past
from the period of Jefferson to that
of Lincoln-when Orthodoxy was
more rigidly defined and strenuously
upheld and the prevailing public be-
liefs more nearly uniform, it is more
emphatically the case in this era Of
comprehensive tolerance, in an in
creasingly diversified population, Wher
doctrine is by common consent subor-
dinated to life, and we gauge men
rather by what they are than by what
they profess.
attitude of mind is felt to contribute
to or influence his life or character, il
may be a subject of legitimate inter
est to those who seek an intelligent eS-
innate of his whole personality. Elk
cept in this very broad sense, it can
not be considered anybody's business
but his own. The religious affiliations
of Mr. Taft or of Mr. Bryan are in
teresting as a part of his personal BIZ
ography; but the essential thing to
know is that he leads the upright
clean and kindly life of an honorable
gentleman. The definition of his
creed concerns himself alone.
This is so obvious, so fundamental
that we might we'll feel alarmed if we
could believe that it would be forgot
ten. That provision of the Constitu-
ton which prohibits any law respect
ing the establishment of religion or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof
is simply the concrete expression of a
broad principle that lies at the very
base of all our Institutions, of our
whole national existence. 1t is en-
craven in the national conscience, and
its maintenance is just as essential to
the most orthodox Christian, Catholic
or Protestant, as to the most heretical
free-thinker. We are not of course,
in any danger of intolerant legisla-
ton; but the principle is equally vio-
lated if we attempt to introduce relig-
ious tests to influence the public
Judgment or to measure the merits of
candidates by their UNCONVENTIONAL la
bel
Any such attempt would be SO
fraught with danger, not to sound po-
litics only but to good morals, and
not less to true religion, that it is
worth while, at the very opening of
presidential campaign, to warn our
selves against it. Of the actual re-

CHIEF JUSTICES OF Q. $.
Only Eight Since the Founding of the
Government
Chicago Tribune)


A chance to appoint the chief JUS
tice does not come often to a Presi-
dent. In point of fact, since the
foundation of the government there
have only been eight chief justices
and since 1901 there have been but
five altogether. The list of chief JUS
tees of the Supreme Court is as fol-
lows:

Chief Justice Fuller celebrated his
seventy-fifth birthday last February.
He took the oath of office, Oct. s,
1888, so that before the next presl-
Dental election he will have rounded
out an honorable service of twenty
years as chief justice of the Su-
preme Court Mr.. Fuller is good for
many a long year upon the bench,
so far as appearances go, but after
a score of years in such a place, con-
Guiding, as it did, an active profess
sional career, it is natural to suppose
that the white-haired chief justice is
about ready to take a rest.
He is a Democrat, and people who
remember him in the oil days IN
| Chicago are aware that he was an
ardent one He was appointed by
President Cleveland during his first
term, and it is we'll known he still
retains a vast amount of admiration
! for the only Democratic President
since the Civil War. 1t was natural
therefore, that Chief Justice Fuller
should be closely identified with the
gold Democratic wing of the party.

WOMAN OF 81 SUMMERS
GROWING HAIR AND TEETH

Lynn, Mass, July Especially
Mary Smith, of Lynn, who celebrated
her ninety-seventh birthday May
oath, has surprised her friends by
growing a new head of hair. For so
years Mrs. Smiths hair has been as
white as snow. About year ago
it began to come out, and in a little
while she was bald Now the new
hair, thick, black, and curly is
coming in, and there promises, to be
a luxuriant growth.
About twenty years ago Mrs. Smith
lost her last tooth. Since then she
has worn false teeth. Now, with the
growing of the new hair, she is cut
ting new teeth. Four front teeth
already have appeared and she is now
cutting two molars.
Mrs. Smith is the widow Of a form

ligious convictions of either Mr.. Taft

we did know them, they would not

they are to be judged by their public
