appearance Of being a hard working,
honest boy, stepped up and took Mr..
Teutscher by the hand and spoke to
him.
81 remember you for you treated
me right, gave me a good home and
started me right when / was on the
wrong track" said the boy with tears
in his eyes.
The boy was Herbert Mundell of
Albee, this country, who was sent to
the boys and girls aid society in the
spring OF 1908, after he had been in
trouble at Albee. He was we'll treat
ed and became a good. honest boy and
has worked steadily since his release
from the society three years ago.
To the good treatment given him
by Mr.. Teutscher and others connect

right start in life and is grateful for
the kindness shown him. While he

not recognized by Teutscher, yet he
remembered his benefactor and pub
licly acknowledged the benefits he
had received from this home provid-
ed for unfortunate children in Port
land.

ENGLAND BUILDING
GREATER DRtAONAUGHI
Newest Battlcship l. One That Costs
More Than Twelve Millions and
Can Sink Anything Afloat.
am decides to

London. June 2j.--Great Britain is
constructing a new type of battleship D
that will be able TO send the huge
Dreadnaught to the bottom as easily
as the Dreadnaught can sink the
Russo-Japanese type of ironclads. The
new ship viii be called the Foudroy-
ant and she will cost si2.25O, 900.
which is $2.25O,0O0 more than was
expended on the Dreadnaught.
The new monster will have no fun
nels and will make no smoke. Her
engines will be driven by gas, which,
besides taking up less room than
steam engines. will allow a greater
speed. She will be $50 feet long and
will mount twelve great 1875 guns,
while no other battleship now build
ing provides for guns larger than
12-inch.
These new weapons are the Outl
come Of years Of experimental work
that has been going on in the British
arsenals, and when they get into ac-
tion nothing now afloat can stand up
against them.
As the FoudrOyant will not burn
coal. she will be able to creep up
closer to an enemy without being de-
tected than any other warship except
few torpedo boats can now do. on
a dark night the Foudroyant will be
able to get among a hostile fleet and
put her terrific battery into action
before any Of the enemy has had an
inkling Of her whereabouts.
The armor on the Foudroyant will
be 70 inches thick, and she will have
speed OF % knots an hour Great
Britain intends to try to establish a
record in the construction Of the new
vessel and will endeavor to have her
ready for the fighting line eighteen
months after her keel Is laid down.

ity of having two ready for that

less than fifteen coaches to carry

false impression is entertained that
this vicinity is not adapted to agri-
