CLOSSUN FAMILY REUNION.

A very pleasant gathering was held
at the home of Mr.. Freeman Closson,
1876 Oxford ST., Waterville, Me-, in
honor of his father, Capt. John Clos
son of Searsport, who was SO years old
Friday, July oath. There were four
generations present. Captain Clos
son was married January 3, 1s4s, to
Catherine Eaton of Deer Isle, who
died in 1856. Four children by this
union: Freeman and Isaac of Water
Vile; Hattie of Winslow and Mrs. May
Leonard of Pittsburg, Pa. In 1859,
he married Elizabeth Alley of Jones
port and has three children, by his pres
ent wife: George L., William E. and
Charles M. of Searsport. He has seven
children and 20 grandchildren. There was
also present 9. grandnephew, Mr.. Harry
Binney of Somerville, Mass. Capt.
Closson has followed the sea from early
boyhood, retiring few years ago. He
was captain As years and does not look
over 65. Refreshments we're served
and prayers were offered. thanking the
Great Life that he has been permitted
to meet his family again, unbroken at
the age of four score years and three.

TWO PRESIDENTS AS AUTHORS.

The fact that the public and the
newspapers have short memories is
proved again by the discussion over the
prospective royalties which President
Roosevelt will receive from the book
he is to write for the Scribners about
his African hunting trip. The whole
discussion is being conducted, so far,
as if the situation was without prece-
dent, and as if the income from the
proposed volume was to set new
mark in the financial history of the
book trade.
Yet hardly twenty years have passed
since the country was ringing with the
fame of the book Of another ex-Presl-
dent, since the heroism with which that
book was written, amid great physical
suffering, was the subject OF world
wide admiration, and since the pro-
vision which General Grant thus made
for his family set an unheard of mark
for the rewards of, authorship. The
amount which Mrs. Grant received
from the volume is stated at $400, 600
in one encyclopaedia, while later pub
LEGATION gives the sum as 100000. The
book is still sold, but there is no means
of knowing what receipts may have
come from it in the last eight Or ten
years. The first check sent to Mrs.
Grant for it was 100000, and the next
$4,000, sums which still make the re-
wards of authors of 'best sellers look
meagre. Before the book was printed
General Grant had received what were
then regarded as very large payments
for the serial publication of portions of
the book in the Century Magazine.
1t the profits of President Roosevelt's
book are to reach those made from the
Grant Memoirs then the sale of the
volumes must be very large indeed.
They will undoubtedly be large, and
they will deserve to be. Mr.. Roosevelt
is picturesque and vivid writer, and
his captivating personality survives
dictation and correction so we'll that his
written words have much of the vitality
of his speech. His admirers reach
around the world; the respect for the
man and for the office he holds is like
wise world wide. Thus any book by
him is assured Of an enormous sale.
But it must, indeed, run we'll before it
passes the record of its predecessor
Brooklyn Eagle.

water, wading well out into the pool to
avoid entangling the leader among the
tWigs and roots nearer shore.
1t was grand fight we had under
those arching branches. The fish was
foxy and game to the finish. Every
trick known to his kind he resorted to-,
but despite all his endeavors | success
fully worked him away from dangerous
situations; once only was there a
chance of losing him. Fighting against
all restraint it succeeded in working
under big log lying half in and half
out of the water, but straight desper-
ate strain back drew it sulking' to
safety. The gear was strong and l soon
overcame its struggles for freedom, the
landing net closed around him and at
last he was mine.
AS | threw the fish jumping onto the
bank, yells of triumph and glee sound
ed from above, and from the opposite
shore a half dozen shouting, leaplng
imps came scampering across the
stream and began dancing around the
now motionless fish.
"Got i'm all right this time mister.
We was watching of yer. Won't
bother us no more, will he? Say! Amt
it peach?'
They had the trout off the grass in a
tWinkling and passed it around among
them, gloating over it in admiration.
Well, all this happened many years
ago Doubtless by now there is another
fine gentleman lying under the same
bank but | am afraid it would he an
jmpossibility to snap similar trick on
him for, you know, they don't line hats
with gaudy silk in the later days.

OPEN SALOONS NOT WANTED.

1t would be insulting the intelligence
of any man to claim that he thinks the
liquor law is any better enforced under
local option than it is under the pro-
hibition system. In addition to the low
dives and kitchen bar rooms that can
be found alike in license and no license
places, in the towns and cities where
the open saloon has been decreed every
corner of prominence has its saloon,
the windows of which are filled with
bottles and other suggestions of drink,
and from which can be seen a stream OF
men issuing all day and for good part
of the night. The people of Maine have
nothing like this now and we do not
believe they want it. True we have
saloons; true the law is persistently
violated, but no more so than any law
designed 10 control the liquor traffic;
but no big, gaudy saloons decorate"
our main streets with their open lnvl-
tation to our boys and girls to go in and
drink. We do not believe that the PEG.
pie of Maine who pay the taxes and
bear the burdens of government want
liquor and for that reason they must
unite in defeating the party at the polls
in September, for once let the Demo-
Gratis get in power, pledged as they are
to resubmission, and the way to the
open saloon lays clear.-Fairtield Jour-
nal.

OBADIAH'S SWING.

Swing me just Ii tie higher, Obad'ah, do
Swing me just "a little higher and III love
you;
Tie me on and I'll never fall,
Swing me over the garden wall,
Just IA little higher, Obadiah, do
This is the chorus of the song which
the band played at Bangor. After
wards Mr. Gardner, who had just been
! nominated for Governor by the Maine
Democrats, made speech. In 1t he de
clared that he believed in the lntelli-
gence of the people of the State of
Maine 1t was well that he expressed
this belief for he had previously stated,
in effect, that for many years the affairs
of the State have been administered
improperly and extravagantly, con-
ditlon of things which certainly, did it
indeed exist, would not seem to speak
volumes for the intelligence OF the peo-
pie. But Brother Gardner in his ora
torical effort swung them higher and
higher. His first flight began in the
reign of Augustus and ended in the
reign of Constantine. He took another
fight in the days of human slavery and
then he flew about in various direc-
tions hunting for present day issues.
But here it is notable that his flights
resulted only in the digging up of cam
paign cries on which the Democrats
have gone before the intelligent people
of the State of Maine a number of
times without success. Indeed, Mr..
Gardner is so hard pushed for issues
that he tries to make one of the
omission from the Republican plat
form of allusion to the initiative
and referendum. Inasmuch as Re-
publican legislature has already sub
mitted that question to the people it
can hardly be classed as an issue in the
present campaign, but OF course it may
serve the purposes of an orator who is
endeavoring to swing his hearers higher
and higher. Oratorical flights in the
effort to carry the audience to higher
and higher heights are apt to lead to in
constituencies. Mr.. Gardner declares that
he believes in law and its enforcement,
but a proposition to give the Governor
authority to remove officers who do not
do their duty in enforcing the law he
declares to be entirely Objectionable.
And the oratorical swing sometimes
takes the orator one way while his hear
ers are swinging the other. Mr.. Gardner
saws he is a temperance man. From
this it is to be inferred that in favoring
resubmission he does it in the hope that
the prohibitory amendment would be
reaffirmed. His hearers do not want it
for any such purpose. But Mr.. Gard
ner's flights are interesting if inconsist-
ent and we hope that he will keep on
swinging. Taking the cue from the
band and dropping into verse, it might
thus be expressed.
Swing them just a little higher, Obadiah
do;
Make the summer gleeful in the swing with
you.
Do not look ahead at all;
They're going to have terrible fall
And so will Brother Obadiah, too.

AN AMERICAN HERO.
CAPTAIN Thomas Scott Used his Own
Body to Stop Leak in Crowded

Captain Thomas Scott Used his Own
Body to Stop Leak in Crowded
Ferry-Boat.
Zone morning in January, when the
ice IN the Hudson river ran unusually
heavy" says F. Hopkinson Smith. in
the August Everybody's, "a Hoboken
ferry-bo slowly crunched her way
through the floating foes, until the
thickness of the pack choked her pad
dies in mid-river. 1t was an early
morning trip. and the decks were
crowded with laboring men and the
driveways choked with teams; the
women and children standing inside
the cabins were solid mass up to the
swinging doors. While she was gath
ering strength for further effort. an
ocean tug sheered to avoid her, veered
a point, and crashed into her side, cut
ting her below the waterline in a great
V-shaped cash. A moment more, and
the disabled boat careened from the
shock and fell over on her beam, help
less. Into the V-shapeC cash the water
poured torrent. 1t seemed but a
question of minutes before she would
lunge headlong below the ice.
within two hundred yards of both
boats, and free of the heaviest ice,
steamed the wrecking-tug Reliance OF
the Off-shore Wrecking Company, and
on her deck forward stood Captain
Scott. When the ocean tug reversed
her engines after the collision and
backed clear of the shattered wheel
house of the ferry boat, he sprang for
ward, stopped down, ran his eye along
the water-line, noted in flash every
shattered plank, climbed into the pilot.
house of his own boat, and before the
astonished pilot could catch his breath,
pushed the nose of the Reliance along
the rail of the ferry-boat and dropped
upon the latter's deck like cat.
"With a threat to throw overheard
any man who stirred, he dropped into
the engine room, met the engineer half
way up the ladder, compelled him te
return, dragged the mattresses from
the crews hunks, stripped off blankets
snatched up clothes, overalls, cotton
waste, and rags of carpet, examining
them into the great rent left by the
| tugs cutwater.
at was useless. Little by little the
water gained, bursting out first below
then on one side, only to be calked Out
again, and only to rush in once more.
Captain Scott stood a moment as il
undecided, ran his eye searchingly
over the engine-room, saw that for hi:
needs it was empty, then deliberately
tore down the top wall Of calking he
had so carefully built up, and, before
the engineer could protest, forced hi:
own body into the gap, with his arm
outside, Level with the drifting ice.
San hour later, the disabled ferry
boat, with every soul on board, was
towed into the Hoboken slip.
"When they lifted the captain from
the wreck, he was unconscious ant
barely alive. The water had frozen his
blood, and the floating ice had torn The
flesh from his protruding arm from
shoulder to wrist. When the color be
gan to creep back to his cheeks, he
opened his eyes and said to the doctor
who was winding the bandages:
'Wuz any of them babies Eurt?'
ga month passed before he regained
his strength, and another week before
the arm had healed so that he could get
his coat on. Then he went back to the

BRYAN AND THE VETERANS.

The following is going the rounds of
Republican papers: FIt is very seldom
you hear an old soldier say ne will vote
for Bryan. There are a few, but the
majority of them have had sufficient
experience with the Democratic party
to let it and its candidates alone. For
the benefit of the few who may be in
cined to cast a Bryan vote this year,
the following, written by Mr.. Bryan in
1892, and undoubtedly yoicing his real
sentiments toward the old soldiers, is
given. This article appeared in the
Omaha Herald of November Is, 1892,
and MI. Bryan was the editor of the
paper at that time, and either wrote it
himself or endorsed it. He said:
''The next session of Congress will
have to wrestle with one deficiency of
S36, OOn, 900. This on account OF PEN
sions The appropriations for pen
sions for the next year must be not less
than S15O,OO0 900. 1t is easy arithmetic
to perceive that the appropriations that
Congress must make for pensions next
session must aggregate not less than
S1S6,OOO,00O. This tremendous sum
would in itself be enough to run rea-
sonable government. One would not
complain if it were an honest debt, be-
cause it was never earned by any act of
patriotism or heroic service. The gov
eminent is held up and despolled OF no
mean portion of this, and it seems help
less to defend itself. One cannot help
being curious to know how many more
years it will take to exhaust the gener-
alton which feels itself injured by the
war. It is safe to say that never did
generation display such remarkable
No comments are necessary, but it
may be well to call attention to the fact
that at the time that was written, Mr..
Bryan was not candidate of his party
for President, and was voicing his own
unfettered thoughts.-Atchison Globe.
