FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN.
Some Remarkable Discoveries

(Boston Euening Transcript.l
George W. Peck, one-time governor OF
Wisconsin and still earlier known tcYame
as the author of "Peck's Bad Boy, has
been making a tour of Maine, sending to
the Milwaukee Sentinel from time to time
a report OF his discoveries. Many Of them
warrant long-distanee interest.
Mr.. Peck finds that Maine resembles the
middle and northern parts Of Wisconsin.
Its soil he compares with ''our skinned
pine or cut-over lands, whatever that
may be like. The people of Maine he
describes in some detail, saying that they
live on Goldfish, salt pork and potatoes,
milk and apple sauce, and that they go to
bed at dark. They are also, perhaps as q
result, without dyspepsia, or nervous
prostration.
The long-distance outlook for Maine,
Mr.. Peck, however, regards as bad. He
says that when it's lumber has entirely
gone, and its shipping has dwindled, as he
thinks it is now doing, the people will
have to fall back on their factories. These,
in textile goods, he believes, are finding
serious competition in the South.
On Yankee notions, he evidently does
not rely upon the efficacy of the tariff,
since he predicts that Germany can send
things in to this country cheaper than
Maine can make them. Even the Goldfish
industry he believes to be declining,
through the depletion of the oceans
supply. He even forsees season of potato
rot. This would make the list OF Names
calamities complete.
But Mr.. Peck is chiefly exercised over
the conditions of the liquor traffic. Dodg-
ing drunken men in Portland became
monotonous. He found more arrests for
drunkenness in Bangor-a city the size Of
Oshkosh-than in Milwaukee, with its
third OF million of inhabitants. 1t
struck Mr.. Peck as pitiful to see working
men in the parks about Bangor on Sunday
in so demoralized a condition from bad
whiskey.
Rockland he describes as "a pretty tough
town., with little attention paid to the
liquor laws, and with no particular tight
ening up of the facilities for getting
drinks, except for day or two at a time,
when the Stufgis law officers happen to be
around. He describes the express BUSH
ness which has grown up in the State, by
which the citizen transmits an order by
telephone to be executed in Boston, and
within fifteen minutes the goods are de-
livered at his door, brought as If by magic
from city four hundred miles away!
Mr.. Peck is doubtless DESTROYS of sus-
tanning his reputation as humorist in
his rafher overdrawn accounts Of condi-
tions in the Pine Tree state Exappera-
tion has some merit in bringing into more
clear relation tendencies and conditions,
the existence of which to a reasonable
degree and on a smaller scale cannot be
wholly disputed.
1t is not fortunate that this sort of pic
ture Of the extreme end of Yankee land is
being spread before the Mississippi valley,
never seen Maine or any other part of New
England. 1t is to be hoped that they will
not take all Mr.. Peck's discoveries too
seriously, remembering their own dissent
from some pictures Of the West which
have been drawn by over-enterprising
journalists.

LAUGH.

LAUGH.
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep and you weep alonei
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh. it is lost on the air
The echoes bound to joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad and you lose them all,
There are none to decline your nectar'd wine
But alone you must drink life's gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For large and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

An Endeavor Statesman.

Christian Endeavor has been partic-
ularly happy in the friends it has made
among the great men of the nation in
dent Mckinley through all his occu-
pancy of the White House always sent
message of greeting to it's interna-
tional conventions. President Roose-
welt has been none the less hearty in
his congratulatory words and has
shown many favors to DR.. Clark in
his world journeys. Vice President
Fairbanks is a firm believer In Chris
tian Endeavor Hon William Jennings
Bryan has done signal service for the
movement.
The Christian Endeavor World re-
Gently gave three notable messages
from Mr.. Bryan on its cover page. As
Endeavor stands for, on Dec. 6. 1906
he wrote in a letter to DR.. Clark, from
which he permits us to quote: 1.-The
Christian Endeavor society is doing a
great work. 1t is the part of the eth
zeal movement that is going on
throughout the world" On Nov. IL,
1907, Mr.. Bryan wrote to Secretary
Shaw as follows: 81 inclose check for
S. to pay for one share of the stock of
the Christian Endeavor building. l do
not care to hold the stock You can
issue it to the Christian Endeavor soci-
ETY. if it is issued in the form of stock

so count it." On Dec. IL, 1907, Mr..
Bryan wrote to Mr.. Coleman: Il have
just received and read the leaflet CIV
ing the purpose and scope of the Chris
tan Endeavor Patriots league. | am
fully in sympathy with the purpose of
the league and believe it can be made a
power for good in the land. We need

everyday life, and your league can
assist in this work. While Christians
may differ In judgment as to measures

Appeals. which, in an opinion by Ch!ef
Justice Shepard. rendered late yesterday
afternoon, affirmed the decision of the
District Supreme Court dismissing In
Junction suits filed by Arthur Briscoe and
Dennis J.. Shea.
The. effect of the decision of the appel
late court is to make valid all assess
ments of benefits made by Il condemna-
ton jury Of seven where a second jury of
twelve was demanded and not allowed
Nearly a dozen other cases pending
against the District will be decided in
favor of the municipal authorities as a
result Of the action of the appellate court
Briscoe and Shea owned land near
Rhode Island avenue on which assess
ments were laid by reason of the extern
sion of the avenue, and sought by injunc-
ton to restrain the collection of the as
seSsments and to prevent the District
from selling their lands for non-payment
of the assessment The lower court re-
fused the injunction and the owners ap-
lpealed. The action of the lower court Is
sustained.
The appellate court reconsiders two for
mer decisions of the same kind in which
they held that action by the lower court
after objections to the verdict Of the
first, jury had been made was void. The
court now holds that such action is void
able only. and that the objectors having
failed to appeal, the confirmation by the
lower court OF the jury's verdict is final.
