f1uence of the Teacher. The value of
what the teacher does depends on what
she is. The desire to be useful is worth
more than mere rank. The desire for
knowledge should be more sought after
by the pupil. 1t is of more value to the
student than the book contents. The
value of recognizing and responding to
the best. The teacher must be kind, re-
sponsive, hospitable, strong and broad
visioned.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. S. Pitcher of Belfast
gave duet, which was very pleasing
selection, and responded to an encore.
President A. J. Knowlton then introduce
ed Payson Smith, Superintendent of
Maine State Schools, who gave an ad-
dress on the high ambitions and motives
of school work; telling what could be
done and what was being done in the
schools of Maine. AS in his addresses
on previous occasions he had the close at
tention of the large assembly and the
program would not have been complete
without his "little talk" In closing Mr..
Smith said he had been invited to present
to the graduates of the 1slesboro High
school their diplomas. He doubted if
anyone had ever had an experience just
like that, for these young people had
taken the great pilgrimage to Washing
ton and seen the capital Of the United
States; they had received the excellent
rank and credit of graduates from the
Islesboro High school, the second class to
graduate from the High School of Isles
boro, and they had received their diplo-
mas at teachers convention in the
presence of the teaching force of Waldo
County, while the awards were made by
the State Superintendent. He congratu-
lated them, and on the awarding of the
diplomas the house resounded with ap-
plause. The town hall was packed to
its full capacity and all Islesboro was
present to listen to the program and
witness the awarding of the diplomas.
The graduates, who received their
diplomas one week before the closing of
their regular school exercises, were:
Louise Gilkey, Gladys Gilkey, Hazel
Nash, Edward Field and Laforest Field.
The young people received the hearty
congratulations and best wishes of many
friends. To the Messrs. Field is due
special credit, as they live seven miles
distant from the school building and yet
have been ever punctual, always on hand
and ready for the exercises each day
when others who lived nearer were
turned back by storm.
j Islesboro is very proud of her schools,
and she has good reason to De, and she
is also very proud of this class, while the
excellent standard maintained by the
superintendent of schools with her corps
Of teachers places the town in the front
rank in school work.

THE FLAG.

Here comes the Flag!
Hail it!
Who dares to drag
Or trail it?
Give it hurrahs-
Three for the stars,
Three for the bars.
Uncover your head to it!
The soldiers who tread to it
Shout at the sight of it,
The justice and right of it,
The unsullied white of it,
The blue and the red of it,
And tyranny's dread of it!
Here comes the Flag!
Cheer it!
Valley and crag
Shall hear it.
Fathers shall bless it,
Children caress it,
All shall maintain it,
No one shall stain it.
Cheers for the sailors that fought on the
wave for it,
Cheers for the soldiers that always were
brave for it,
Tears for the men that went down to the
grave for it.
Here comes the Flag!

or three months in their houses, where

under a specially built grass roof in

burial, and some years ago they

dead are thrown away into a river or
into the bush to be devoured by jack

A CROSS ON HIS BACK.
II Was Made With Chalk, but Was

II Was Made With Chalk, but Waa
Too Heavy to Carry.
There is story of an envious tailor
current with the French peasantry
He fancied that his neighbor, who re-
ceived pension for the loss Of an arm
incurred while fighting for his coun-
try, was better Off than himself. Both
men went to pay their rent on the
same day.
''That's lucky man." said the tailor
to the landlord. HE gets well paid
for his arm"
'But who would be willing to part
with an arm, even If he were paid for
ii? said the landlord.
II would" declared the tailor.
"Youp' cried the landlord. 'Why,
man, you wouldn't be willing to bear
anything of the sort, no matter how
much you were paid for it."
II wish some one would try me-"
"Now, see here" said the landlord,
who had studied human nature, "I'll
tell you what-if you'll wear even so
much as chalk mark on your back
I'll remit your rent as long as you
wear it on your coat SO 1t can be seen,
the condition being that you tell no
one why it is there"
Agreed" said the tailor eagerly.
THAT'S an easy way to pay rent"
So the chalk mark in, the form Of a
cross was made ON the back Of his
coat, and the delighted tailor sailed
forth upon the street.
Strangers and acquaintance hailed
him to tell him OF the mark on his
back Jokes We're made at his ex-
pense, children laughed and pointed at
him, and his wife annoyed him with
questions and with conjugal familiari-
ty told him he was fool The usual
~ amiable man grew surly and mo-
rose; he summed men, women and
children and frequented back streets.
Before the week was up the tailor
found himself embroiled In a quarrel
with his, best friend, his wife had
threatened to leave his house, and he
considered himself miserable and i'll
used.
Finally one night he took on his
coat and rubbed out the chalk mark
and said: There! / would not wear
that cross on my back another week.
no, not If could have all the money
there is in Parisl"

There are two old adages,-"H Haste

that every one should employ when they
undertake to cure cough in few. min

cotics. They may stop the cough and
cause sleep quickly, but they also dry up
the secretions and constipa,e. leaving Oft

A TURNER MASTERPIECE.
Origin Of the Painters Famous Grain,
SAnann ard cnnndW

Origin Of the Painters Famous Grain,
Steam and Speed"
OF all pictures by the great English
color poet, Turner, none is more popu-
lar than that which now graces the
London National gallery under the
name Of "Rain, Steam and Speed"
which was first exhibited in 1874. 1t
is impossible to reproduce this ade-
quately.
ConceA 1ing the origin Of this picture
Ruskin furnishes an interesting tale.
The story was told to him by friend,
Lady Simon. It seems that she was
travelling one night in the early days
Of the Great Western railway from
Exeter to London. ''When had taken
off my coat and smoothed my rufaed
plumes and generally settled myself"
she tells, 81 looked up. to see the most
wonderful eyes ever saw, steadily,
luminously, clairvoyantly, kindly, pa
ternally looking at me. The hat was
over the forehead, the mouth and chin
buried in the brown velvet coat collar
Of the brown greatcoat. Well, we went
on, and the storm went on more and
more until we reached Bristol, where
we waited ten minutes. My old gen
tleman rubbed the side window with
his coat cuff, in vain. He attacked the
center window, again in vain, so blur
red and blotted was it with the tor
rents of rain. A moments hesitation
and then, Young lady, would you mind

"'oh, no not at ALL
"'You may be drenched, you know
Never mind, SIR
Immediately down went the win
dow and out went the old gentleman's
head and shoulders, and said, oh,
please let me look
Now, you will be drenched,' he re-
monstrated. But he half opened the
window for me to see. Such night.
Such chaos Of elemental and artificial
lights and noises never saw nor
heard. He drew up the window as we
moved on. leaned back for some
minutes with closed eyes, then opened
them and said, We'll, have been
/ drenched, but it was well worth it.
"He nodded and smiled and again
took to his steady but inoffensive pc
rusing Of my face. The next year,
think 1t was, going to the academy,
turned at once, as always did, to see
what Turner's there were. Imagine
my feelings! There stood written
Rain, Steam and Speed, Great West
ern, June, 1S43.' 1 had found out
whom the seeing eyes belonged to. AS
stood looking at the picture heard
mawkish voice behind me say:
There, now, just look at that!
Amt it just like Turner? Who ever
saw such ridiculous conglomeration?

He wished to make a great success of
