Reflections OF "A Bachelor Girl.
Poker and love are both games
OF bluff
A man has SO many more tempta-
tions than a woman-because he
knows where to go and find them,
A man will sit on the edge of the
bed, holding one shoe in his hand
and gazing into space for half an
hour, and then send the cook into
Mysteries and the waitress into ner-

ten minutes left in which to eat his
breakfast.

Divorce Is getting to be as pain

Some marriages of convenience
turn out to be about the most in

The best brand OF love is not al
ways the kind that father used to
make.
When perfect frankness comes in
at the door love flies out of the win

Every man knows Ne is not the
heroic, fascinating creature his
sweetheart pretends to think him;
but he would rather be lied to to his
dying day than to be told the brutal
truth.
OF course. people can't carry their
party manners into marriage; but
II they could, marriage would be
more like a party and less like a
prize fight
A man forgots all about how to
make love after ten years of matrl-
money; but It's wonderful how
quickly he can get into practice
again after his wife dies

new ARMY GUNS
FOR TROOP B
trrom TUESDAYS paIlyl


Yesterday the shipment OF forty
new Springfield rifles from the
United States army arsenal at Rock
Island, Ill.,, was received by Troop
B and the new guns are now in the
lockers at the armory.
The new guns are OF very latest
improved army type for fast, hard,
long distance shooting. In appear
ance they are much like the old
Krags with which the troop has been
equipped but there are a number OF
minor changes that make the gun
easier to handle and more comfort
able to carry. Peep sight covers
are over the forward sight and a
finely graduated scale Is On the rear

TO nearly two miles and the possible
range OF the gun is even greater than

SHONESTY - ITS REWARD -
AND ITS PUNISHMENT.

Nearly every day we read OF some
big defalcation in New York city,
Hardly a week passes but we read
in big black headlines OF some trust
ed manager who has embezzled thou
sands OF dollars or OF the officer of
bank or other Institution who has
embezzled tens OF thousands, or hun
dreds OF thousands. Perhaps 1t is
an apostle OF high finance" who
has Just put through shady bond
issue, or has applied the gentle rain
from heaven to his stock so as to
make two shares grow where only
one grew before. But the evidence
OF dishonesty keep coming along
with sickening regularity.
When a prominent New York fl
nancier, an honest one, was asked
how many of these cases got into the
papers, he replied that not 80 per
cent OF them did Theye have been
few more convictions than usual
he said, in the last year or two, but
that Is not, as many people suppose,
because OF the increased activity Of
the officials in prosecuting crime,
but because of the greater tempta-
lions which have been placed before
men
And what Is the history OF the ones
who are exposed, and whose cases do
get into court?
The big offender is let Off and the
small culprit is punished. This has
always been the rrle.
In New York, as is shown by the
records OF District Attorney Jerome's
office, the big thief nearly always
escapes punishment Out of S247
cases of grand larceny, under which
come all OF the embez2lements-in
the years 1905 and 1905 there
were only three cases OF conviction
in which the sum named in the re-
cords was $4,000 or over. The
great mass OF convictions was In
cases where the sum involved ranged
from 800 to $1,000.
The big thief, even when the law
gets hold OF him, gets off, and the
little one some times goes to jail.
But even the little thief has good
chance Of escape. Out of 11,O97
cases OF grand larceny reported by
the chief clerk OF the district attor-
ney Of New York for the seven years
ending Dec. 81, 1905, there were
6,637 cases discharged, acquitted or
dismissed, and there were only A.
400 convictions. There is no grow
ing tendency to prosecute, as some
persons seem to think, and justice
miscarries just as often as she ever
did.
But what OF the man who gets off?
Does he really escape punishment?
The answer is found in the man him
cole II. dOao nOt
Aside from the averted looks and
scornful glances Of men and women
who do right, and OF those who do
not do right, but who are fortunate
enough not to be found out, aside
from the mental anguish which some
times causes insanity, aside from all
these things, the guilty man bears
in himself, in the degeneracy of his
moral and esthetic nature the punish
ment for what he does. Every act
OF an individual reacts on himself,
whether he knows II or not, and
whether or not his associates real
lie IL.
SO the man who II let off-be he
bookkeeper or millionaire--is NOT
let off. He is caught, and the Oft
ener he is allowed to escape from
our absurd system of penalty, the
tighter he is grIpped and strangled
and squeezed.

THE RISE AND FALL OF RUM.

''The chief fudling they make on the
island is Rumbullion, alias kill-Devll,
says an old description of Barbados,
written in 1915, land this is made OF
sugar cane distilled, a hot, hellish, and
terrible liquor"
This, says a causal historian in Har-
per's Weekly, is one of our earliest au-
thorit;es on rum, whose powers led to
the extension of its name to cover all
spirtuous intoxicants. The rise and
fall of rum is unparalleled in the story
of alcoholic beverages.
"Rum rapidly became the popular
beverage of the world. 1t was the
special favorite of the New England
towns, and cargo after cargo was ship
ped to Africa to be exchanged for
slaves. In fact, it is only of recent
years that the cheaper trade gin has
supplanted it. All Dickens sailormen
and riverside characters drank rum
Quilp, for whom Little Nell mixed it
with terror; and Captain Cutie; for
whom Florence poured out a perfect
drink. About the middle of the nine
teenth century rum began slowly to de-
cline before the allurements of Scotch
and Irish whiskey in England, and the
seductive appejack of New Engl land
The substitution of the sugar beet for
canes dealt it a powerful blow, although
it still remains the chief beverage in
the West Indies, Guianas, and sugar
cane countries.
But the day of rum is over. The
majestic rumbullion first became ia
miliarized as rum, and then fell into
contempt. The name is already Pro-
hibitionist expletive; soon it will have
beco me nothing but memory"

CRESCENT BEACH BOOMING.

On a recent excursion to Crescent
Beach, South Thomaston, after boun-
tiful shore dinner at Smiths, there were
two hours to while away before start.
ing homeward, and while some chose to
remain seated on the veranda looking
out over the blue waters to the outlying
islands, others strolled about and had
more extended views from the higher
ground in rear of the beach. A Belfast
| party found themselves near a neat lit
tie cottage, apparently just completed
but untenanted, and as the front door
stood temptingly open they concluded
to inspect the interior As they were
about to enter they were cautioned by
a gentleman from nearby cottage TO
look out for paint. and he came over TO
show them the premises. 1t proved to
be Mr.. Burpee of the Burpee Furniture
Co.. Rockland, and the owner of the
new cottage, as well as the one he was
then occupying. The cottage IS not
large, but is we'll built as any house,
with good cellar under it. in which
furnace will be installed, fitting it up
for winter occupancy. The interior is
ceiled with Southern pine, and there
are closets and lockers everywhere
One large room occupies the front. back
Of which is a conveniently arranged
kitchen and sleeping room. Mr.. BUT
pee explained that the cottage was built
for himself and wife. He invited the
party to inspect the cottage in which he
was living, and introduced them to Mrs.
Burpee and lady friend. This cottage
was most attractively and conveniently
arranged, and had four or five nice
sleeping rooms in the second story. MIR.
Rurpee has a fine collection of photo
graphs of the U. S. battleships which
have had their speed trials in sight OF
his cottage. Later he expects to build
another cottage, having plenty of avail
able land and a very slightly location
He comes down from Rockland on his
wheel quite often, and the distance
Travelled is only IA miles. There is
quite a building boom on at Crescent
Beach, and eight cottages are now under
| construction. This is no doubt due to
| the electric road, which brings the
Beach within less than half an hou1
from Rockland. If the projected road
from Stockton or Searsport to Camden
is ever built it will, no doubt, lead to
like development along the route.
