Mrs. Gus Schmierer, a former
teacher of the Scotland Public
Schools, was a visitor of the vari-
GUS grades IL is week.
Leila Frank is a new pupil of the
second grade.
Mrs. Wicks was a visitor of the
third, fourth and fifth grades last
week.
Title Cerney entered the fourth
grade this week.
The eighth grade prefer to recite
their history after four o'clock, SO
are using that time.
Mabel Donley was a High School
visitor Tuesday afternoon.
Joe Schmidt has been absent the
most of last week and part OF this
week.
The total enrolment has increas-
ed twenty nine since the first
month.
Much interest is shown, in the
election and campaign, by the boys
of the High School and many live
ly discussions are the result, some
of which would be creditable to
politicians. Bryan or Taft would
probably do well to interview the
boys and get a few pointers.
The cold weather has put a
damper on the base ball for a few
days, but the probabilities are that
it will be revived with the warm
weather again.
The eleventh grade have taken
up the study OF their first classic

The circus craze has struck
Scotland, and last Saturday about
a dozen boys from twelve to fifteen
years of age produced a, very cred
table imitation of the ring, on DR..
Seagley's lawn. The first act was
the parade which was much better
than some of the travelling shows
exhibit, including the trick pony,
educated dogs, wild man of Bprneo
and clowns galore. In the tent the
performance was quite amusing.
The stunts on the horizontal bar,
and by the Timber man, the edu-
Gated horse, and numerous others
showed that the boys had mastered
many of the little arts of the ring
performance. There was some ev-
idence of infringement on the copy
right jokes of Dode Fisk, but the
improvements put on by the boys
probably shielded them from pros
ecution. Two performances we're
given-afternoon and evening
and in the latter the seats we're all
filed and quite a number of the
spectators were obliged to stand.

Close Calls From Accidents.

A commercial traveller hao a close
call from death or at least bad ,acci
dent Monday morning when the 1855
train was pulling out. There were
two in the party and evidently they
were called late. They came down
Russell street on the run and attempt
ed to board the train. One succeeded
all right. The other who was en-
numbered with a grip, grasped the
side rail of the second passenger
coach, a little below the switch which
is located near the head end of the
depot platform. He caught his toe
on the plank crossing, but retained
his grip on the rail and was dragged
to point about half way between the
cigar store and Fogg's pharmacy. A
man coming across the railroad
bridge saw the incident, notified the
engineer and the train was stopped.
The affair sent the cold chills down
the backs of those who were eye wit
nesses.
Then another narrow escape from
an accident occurred just after the
passenger pulled out and while the
freight train was shifting. The street
sprinkler came up from below the
crossing and the gates were raised
for it to proceed. 1t was headed
down the yard to fill up at the regular
place on Madison avenue, near the
hoop pole barn. The driver thought
he had swung clear of the track which
leads to the freight house and down
which number of cars were being
shunted. But he hadn't. The only
thing which prevented the sprink Ter
from being struck was the fact that
the locomotive was attached to the
cars. The brakeman saw the danger
and the train was stopped. Had a
car been coming down alone nothing
could have prevented the collision.
The Russell street crossing is a very
dangerous one and that serious ac
cident has not occurred here is a
wonder.

Names Good Fortune.

1t has been the lot of the State OF
Maine for many years to have been
ably represented in both branches OF
the halls of Congress and we have
many times had occasion to congrat-
uiate ourselves upon the fact that the
interests of the state have never been
allowed to suffer in any general
legislation that has been enacted.
We now once more have reason to
feel pleased over the ability and
prominence of our legi 'lative delega-
ton.
There seems every reason to
believe that early next year special
session of Congress will be called and
that at that session will occur the
long promised tinkering of the tariff
laws. Maine has a vital interest in
tariff legislation. Under the benz
ficent Dingley measure Names com
mercial and manufacturing industries
were carefully safeguarded and thus
we little realize what staggering
blows could be struck at our pulp, our
paper, our lumber, our cotton and
wooden industries, at our agricultural
and fishing interests if Maine is not
properly considered.
However, there is no cause for
worry, for the committee tina will &c
far in framing whatever tariff legisla-
ton may be enacted is the Senate
committee on Finance of which Sem
ator Hale of Maine, is not only one OF
the most prominent and influential
members but has been appointed 6
member of the sub committee which
during the recess will devote much
time and study to the consideration
of the tariff and the financial ques-
ton generally. The record of Sena'
tor Hale is one of which every citizen
of Maine should be proud. Coming
from one of the smaller states of the
Union he has steadily forged to the
front in Congress until he is every
where regarded not only as one OF
the most able members of the upper
branch but also, and this does not
always follow, one of the most influ-
entail as well.
Although becoming national
figure, Senator Hale has never al
lowed his attention to be drawn away
from the interests of the state which
sends him to the Senate. He is al
ways keenly alive to the prosperity
of Maine and knows the needs Of our
industries better than any man now
in public life. Maine can bank safely
upon the ability, the influence and
devotion of the Senator from East
ern Maine.

is Oratory a Drawback

The great orators have not been the
most fortunate aspirants for the presi-
dency. Webster, Clay, Douglas and
Blaine were idolized by their follow
ers, not only for their abilities and
personal traits, but also for their per
suasive powers of speech. Horace
Greeley, candidate of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans in 1872, was
not potable orator, but was none the
less an effective talker. He made a
speaking tour In the latter part of the
campaign. and, although his position
was an anomalous one, he acquitted
himself with credit, even II he was
Overwhelmingly defeated. Tilden, who
in his free soil days made speeches,
obtained his mastery by his pen, not
by his tongue. Grant, who was called
the silent man because he could not
make speech when he first became a
candidate learned to speak very well
in public, his speech for Garfield In
1880 being a good example of his de
yelopment in that Boston
Globe.
