Maine Gossip
Old Mothers.

OI0 MotneTSs
I love old mothers-mothers with whlte
hair.
And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly
sweet
With murmured blessings over sleeping
babes.
There is something in their quiet grace
That speaks the calm of Sabbath AFTER
Moons:
A knowledge in their deep, unfalte1ng
eyes,
That far outreaches all philosophy.
Tine, with caressing touch, about them
The vel-threaded fairy shawl OF age,
While all the echoes OF forgotten songs
Seem Joined to lend sweetness tc their
speech.
Old mothers!-as they pass with slow
timed step, =.
Their trembling hands cling gently 10
youths strength.
Sweet mothers! as they pass, one sees
Old garden walks, old roses and Old loves.

IT must be decidedly discoc-
certing to the democrats when
they observe the manner in
which the republicans of South

always have been noted for their
rainbow chasing proclivities, saw
in their minds eye whole brig

can voters fastening to support

The Koch Reunion.

Following is an account of the
family reunion which Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Schafer were at.
tending last week:
On September 10 occurred an event
of great interest to the Koch family
and their friends, as each of the elev.
en- members of the family we're present
at q reunion at Owatonna, Mimi.
They came from the Atlantic and Pa
cific coast. 1t was the first time the
entire family had been together since
1892, when they gathered at their mo.
theirs funeral. The company partook
O: a bountiful dinner at the Hotel
Owatonna, and was the gathering COM
posed of the following persons:
Rev. l.. S. Koch and daughter Mar
guerite, Clear Lake. MINI.
Mr.. } acOb Koch, St. Paul, MINI.
Rev.P. G. Koch and daughter Ruth,
Maluoketa, Iowa.
Mrs. Henry Schafer nee Koch and

Medford, MINI.
Rev. c. c. Koch, wife and child,

Rev. B. F. Koch and wife, Medford,
Maine.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coe, parents of Mrs.
j. II. Koch, and Mrs, G.. NJ. Finch
we're present bv special invita-
ton.
The occasion was one Of keen pleas
ure and interest, a. it gave the family
an opportunity to review their his
tory somewhat and realize afresh the
wonderful way God leads those who
trust him.
The parents came to this country in
1865, poor in this worlds goods, but
with a deep desire to secure a spirit
ual and mental education for their
family. Said they. at will be the
only legacy we will be able to leave
our children" and they all received
more or less schooling. Pillsbury
academy, Northwestern college,
Colby college and Columbia Col
lege OF Expression, are the institu-
tions that deserve the grateful thanks
of the family for furnishing them the
culture their parents desired for them.
W. must not forget the district
schools at Clinton Falls, where the
faithful Christian teacher, C. NJ.
Finch, taught several of the Kochs
their letters and inspired all to great
err endeavor. The little school in
Deerfield also had its share in Great
ing an interest in books. The parents
are surely rewarded for their unselfsh
efforts on behalf of their children, for
each one is a christian, and they are
all earnestly striving to carry on the
worlds work. Six sons are in the
ministry: one is engaged in tilling
the soil: one is a blacksmith; one
daughter is a teacher, and another is
a preacher, teacher and Christian En-
deavor worker, while another daugh-
ter is a wife and mother of a family.
Surely God has abund antly answered
the prayers of these parents, and their
children rise up and call them blessed.

IT has been minated through
the press OF the state that Robert
8. Vessey, the republican nomi
nee for governor, is marked for
slaughter by the saloon men of
the state, because he is a man who
believes in enforcing the law,
even if it is a prohibitory law.
Action of this kind will do more
toward swinging South Dakota
into state. wide prohibition than
any other one thing. When peo-
pie commence to realize that the
liquor business is attempting to
dictate as to who the state of.
fcials are to be it won't take
them long to sweep the business
out of existence. The liquor
dealers of the state, in making q
fight on Vessey are treading on
very dangerous ground.
