and it is here that Mr.. Hayward, the
man always up tree, lives.
All of the buildings are rustic in the
extreme, their scheme of architecture be-
ing SO arranged as to avoid conflict with
the pastoral scene The timber is rough
on the outside and blends with the rough
bark of the huge chestnut tree.
The entrance to Haywarden is so ar
ranged that the trunk of the tree stands
at one side of the door as a giant pillar
Entering here, you walk up winding
narrow flight of steps until you reach

Hayward's philosophy of life
Mr.. Hayward, a genial. kindly man,
will show you his bedroom next, and,
on wandering through there, you can
scarcely believe that you are twenty-odd
feet above the earth and sustained main
ly by a huge sWaying tree. There is a
display of fine linen and other bedroom
comforts that momentarily detracts from
the back-to-nature humor into which
you have worked yourself.
You will next be taken into the indoor
dining room. a quiet little box of place,
where glass and silver shine and home
like quiet prevails.
The building Is two stories and half
high. Ii is supported from the bottom
by numerous beams and rafters so ar
ranged that they brace the tree as well
as the house and act as a stay when the
wild storms of winter blow fiercely and
sion furniture is much in use in the build

after you have visited the place. The air
and the jndescrihable intangible feeling
of freedom that comes over you are both
conducive to an optimistic frame of mind.
The neat little epigrams are Simply
echoes OF your own thoughts
AS you walk into the music room your
eye meets this famous verse from that
student of nature, Longfeliow:
And the night shall he filed with music.
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents. like the Arabs,
And silently steal away.
1T is descriptive of my life" remarks
Mr.. Hayward, thoughtfully, as he passes
through the door.
Inside the r1usic room you are met by
two other notices on the wall. each APP
propriate TO the place in which it Is
hung.
Music is the harmonious voice OF Gre
alton. an echo of the invisible world"
says the first
Then as you turn to the huge cabinet
filled with those beautiful old songs so
seldom heard nOw-songs of the days of
your father and mother and at the sound
of which their eyes grow dim as they
gaze back through the dark hallway of

this:

Mr.. Hayward picks up a copy of an old

though it had been printed before the
war-and turns to annie Laurie with
a thoughtful half-smiling -wistful
expression.
Other notices such as the following
are hung throughout the house:

the light of a perfect summers day"
BE good. sweet maid, and let who will
be clever
Behind the night there is plenty Of
light, and things are all right. and-I
know it"
But. oh, dream of distant dells, Gods

The dogwood CLEANS like silver when

Attitude Toward Life.
Cut in rustic letters in the pavilion rail-
ing are two notices which admirably
serve TO explain Mr.. Haywards attitude
toward things. old and new:
odd wood to burn it says; odd books
TO read, old tales to tell. old songs to
sing"
The failing lesson of optimism is
seen in the terse suggestion:
Smile: it is worth million dollars and
it doesn't cost a cent

of $4,000 year.
This was made possible, he said. by
the conivance of Bosnian, the postoffice
clerk. who could not possibly benefit
from the classifying of the weights and
the defrauding the government of $1S,-
900 excess through Terry.
The jury was out 31h hours. The
case was given to the II men at 1l30

went to the Falmouth Hotel for dinner,

taking up the consideration of the evil

it was ready to report and Judge Hale

Seizure Of Japanese Steamer
Causes Complications.
Japan Refuses Arbitration But Will
Use No Force.

Pekin, March 5.-Japan is threaten
ing force 10 recover the Japanese
steamer Tatsu, which is still retained
by China at Huangpu, On the Si-Kiang,
or West River. This vessel was seized
at Macao Feb. by Chinese customs
cruisers on the charge that the cargo
of arms and ammunition was intend
ed for Chinese RevolutiOniSts, although
consigned to Il merchant of that place
The cargo is still on board. Chang Jen-
Chung, viceroy of Canton, before TAX
ing action, is said to be awaiting proof
that the vessel and its cargo should rot
be COnfIScated.
The coercion of China is feared here
on account of the weakness of the gov
eminent and because of the doubtful
legality of Chang Jen-Chung's action
in Selling the Japanese steamer.
Baron Hayashi, the japanese min
lister to China. yesterday handed to
the Chinese government Japan'S re-
fusal to accept Chinas proposal to APP
point Il joint Japanese and Chinese
commission to examine all the charges,
in the meantime releasing the Tatsu
Maru under bonds. Japan'S demands
are the unconditional relase of the
steamer and on arrangement to pro-
tect the shippers from loss. The lat
ter provise means that China must buy
the cargo on board the Tatsu Maru.
Today China proposed arbitration by
Vice Admiral Sir Arthur William
Moore, commander-in-chlef of the
British China station. but Japan re-
fused these oyertures also and has
warned the foreign board that such
proposals are unwelcome. She again
expressed her desire for the release of
the vessel. which failing she said
would take the steps necessary to Sc
cure this release.
Japan resents holly the fact that
Chang Jen-Chung's soldiers boarded
the Tatsu Maru and hauled down the
Japanese flag when according to the
japanese. the steamer was waiting off
Macao for a turn of the tide.

TERRY and BOSNIAN
BOTH FOUND GUILTY,
Jury Out 4 IL Hours---verdiCt Of
Gui|tyonBoth Counts Motion For New
Tria|Fi|ed on Exceptions to Rulings.

| Portland, Me, March 5.-(SpeciaD.-
George Fred Terry of Waterville, presi-
| dent and treasurer of the Sawyer Pub.
| fishing Co., of Waterville, and Harry
W. Bosnian, clerk in the postohice at
Waterville, We're found guilty of con-
| spiracy to defraud the government by
| a jury in the United States district
| court here this afternoon. The indict-
ment, which was found by the grand
jury at the February term, alleges that
the respondents conspired to defraud
the government through the misuse of
the second class mail privilege. Evil
dence was presented to show that the
Sawyer Publishing Co. sent through
the mails, 100000 sample copies of Saw
yer's Magazine during the months of
March to November inclusive, in eX-
cess of the number permitted by the
regulations and that Bosnian falsified
ports to the assistant postmaster.
Briefly the governments contention
was that Sawyer's Magazine was q
publication designed primarily for ad-
vertising purposes without legitimate
corporation license and was circulated
at a nominal subscription price against
the regulations of the post office de-
partment which define what publica-
tons shall be nefitted by the second
class rate and that the frauds were
committed for the purpose of deceiving
the government to continue the provi-
lege, without which the publication
would not be profitable.
From computations made by the eX-
dictment from figures obtained from e
pert accountant, who testified for the
government, it was estimated that in
the nine months covered by the indict-
ment from figures obtained from the
publishers that the government was
defrauded of $4,000 or at the rate of
$4,000 a year and in his argument the
district attorney computed that if the
same classifying was done in the case of
