EDISON THE VICTOR.
He Humbied the Pride of the Fast
Telegraph Operator.


Edison made his first record as a
telegraph operator In Memphis. "A con-
temporary says he came walking into
the Office one morning looking like a
veritable hayseed. He wanted a job,
and, although his appearance was not
prepossessing, the Office was short
handed, and he was assigned desk at
the st. Louis wire, the hardest In the
office. sat the end of the line was an
operator who was chain lightning and
knew it," says Francis Arthur Jones'
Life Of Edison"
Edison had hardly got seated before
st. Louis called. The newcomer re-
sponded, and st. Louis started on a
long report which he pumped in like
a house afire. Edison threw his leg
over the arm of his chair, leisurely
transferred wad Of spruce gum from
his pocket to his mouth, took up a
pen, examined it critically and started
in about fifty words behind. He didn't
stay there long, though. ST. Louis let
out another link of speed, and still an
other, and the instrument on Edison's
table hummed like an old style Singer
sewing machine. Every man In the
office left his desk and gathered around
the Jay to see what he was doing with
that electric cyclone.
"Well, sir, he was right on the word
and taking 1t down In the prettiest cop
perplate hand you ever saw, even
crossing his It's and dotting his rs
and punctuating with as much care as
a man editing telegraph for printers.
st. Louis got tired by and by and be-
gan to slow down. Then Edison open
ed the key and said
Hello, there! When are you going
to get hustle on? This is no primer
class
"Well, sir" said the gentleman in
conclusion, that broke st. Louis all
up. He had been rawhiding Memphis
for long time. and we were, terribly
sore, and to have a man in our Office
who could walk all over him made us
feel like a man whose horse had won
the Derby"

An Autumn Morning

The frost's agleam in the mellow dawn.
And the spiders nets on the lawn.
And deep in filmy robes OF mist
The hills and the silent woodlands lie,
And anon, as the sun comes up the sky,
The gray clouds turn to amethyst.
The tender song of the waking thrush
Is heard no more in the brooding hush,
Nor linnet's song in the dying trees.
And down where the dodder's skeins are
spread,
The witch hazel CLEANS in velvet red.
And the sweetbriar waves in the breeze.
And wheeling up through the distant sky,
On their flashing wings the plovers fly,
And over the breast of the pool
Through haze of the daybreak's atmosphere,
The cry of a bittern, sharp and clear,
Comes from the marshes dim and cool
And deep in the grasses at our feet
The tuneful crickets still sing as sweet
As in the depths of torrid June;
And DER the dells and the sleepy woods,
A reverent hush of stiffness broOds,
As morning dreams into the noon.

Reports from manufacturers, ship
pers and jobbers all over Maine, in
GLIDING almost every line OF business
are Of one accord, indicating that the
period of depression has, by reason of
the election of Mr.. Taft, been super
seeded by one of prosperity which has
already opened in all parts OF the
country. The numbering business in
the eastern part Of the State has taken
a boom after long period Of quiet;
the paper mills, cotton mills, found
ries, shoe factories and manufacturing
plants of all kinds are running on full
time and with full complement of
hands, except in very few instances;
the railroads are experiencing the eft
feet of the general revival as are also
the steamship companies; the whole
sale grocers report prices sitter and
markets stronger and feeling of con-
fidence is manifest all over the land.
Manufactures in Portland and in some
other Maine cities had not expert
enced marked i'll effects from the long
period of depression, and many of
them report that business had already
revived previous to the election, but
all are Of one mind regarding the out
look for the future, and manufacturers
in all lines of business look forward TO
several years of prosperity.-Portland

The defeat of Hon. W. j. Bryan, for
the third time is what had been ex-
pected by large number of the con-
sentative element of the democratic
party. 1t can be said OF Mr.. Bryan
that he had forced his candidacy upon
mis- party from the first. !.
Mr.. Taft will come into the presi-
dency with an all-round experience
such as has been possessed by no
other Incumbent of the Office. Bred
to the law, in which profession he
attained high position both in active
practice and on the bench, he has
added to his legal training wide ex-
perience in the cabinet and a far
reaching knowledge of our insular
possessions acquired on the spot. He
will, we believe, inspire confidence
among the great masses of the people,
and we predict that the period of I'M
certainty, that always accompanies
presidential campaign, will now give
way to business aggression in all Sec
tions of the country, and that the
great manufacturing, mercantile and
general traffic interests OF the coun-
try viii speedily resume the highest
level of prosperity. Bangor CONNER
