WALKING in the Rain,

To enjoy walking in the rain you
must lay yourself out to enjoy it and
start with the intention of getting wet
compromise is worthless. Perhaps
the best place for enjoying it is a wood
of deciduous trees. not because they
give shelter from it, but because they
make so much of it, multiplying with
their leaves the sound of the falling
drops. There is always something dis
consulate about rain on a bare heath
however thirsty the heath may be, but
wood seems to give warm welcome
and to pass it on like good news from
the higher branches to the lower and
from them to the rejoicing earth. Rain
OF course, is delicious in the garden
but there, after drought, you are
tempted to watch it's action upon each
particular plant, and so you are ir
danger of catching a chill. You mus,
walk in the rain If you are to enjoy il
safely. and there is no greater pleas.

c.n.d. and the United States.


Plans are already being discussed for
the celebration of the one-hundreo
years of peace that has existed between
the United States and Canada. the
idea has already received the approval
of the Canadian government and 1t
only needs spirit Of hearty co-opera-
ton on this side of the line to ensure
its success. Undoubtedly the success
of the recent tercentenary celebration
of the discovery of Lake Champaign,
which was held under the joint aus
pices of the Canadian government.
and the States of New York and Yer
mont, has given rise to the idea of
celebration of much wider scope and
significance which shall still futher
promote our cordial relations with our
Canadian neighbors. 1t is to be hoped
that the proposed celebration will be
held, and out of it may come all the
happy results-and more anticipated
by it's projectors. There can be no
nobler work than that which, through
international cooperation in the spirit
of good will, operates to the mainte-
nance of international peace. For more
than a hundred years this country has
lived on terms of amity with it's Cana
dian neighbor, and never were the re-
lations of the two countries closer or
more cordial than they are at the pres
ent time.

i"!sThe Crying Need Of County Work
Shop.
Professor Charles r. Henderson, tht
aanAmerican member Of the internationa
. prison commission is quoted as having
," declared recently that the county jails
of this country are free schools fol-
crime" There is undoubtedly large
r"sAmount of truth in this assertion
Young men committed to such institu-
tions are thrown into contact with old
7rrer-and more hardened criminals with
the result that they are mentally de-
cts patched and permanently confirmed in
-, their evil ways. Such results are to
:. be expected in institutions where pris-
- oners are allowed the privilege of more
or less unrestricted association with
;, one another Unfortunately no practi-
/ cal way has been found to wholly rem.
s.edy the evil results of Jail life on the
minor offender. The associations of a
Jail, are necessarily bad Behind its
bars drift many of the dregs of hui
man society. 1t must not be thought
a'however that all prisoners are necessa-
rally bad. or beyond the pale of we'll
ordered society The difficulty has al
!, ways been to save those Of the better
~ class-especialy the younger ones
from the demoralizing influence of
habitual and professional criminals
L, The greatest help in this direction
has been found to be steady work
E which will employ the time of the pris-
oners and limit the leisure available
.foryidle association.
staTEvery county Jail should be provided
swith workshop. The prison commits
sfoners of Maine very clearly recognize
the Importance of this. and have
strongly urged it in their reports. In
bringing about this much-to- de-
sired result they should have not only
the hearty cooperation of the commits
.-sioners of the various commune
1'ties: but of the people of the State as
1oweil.
II Is crying shame that our own
jail here in Kennebec county is not
biproVided with a suitable workshop
while many of it's evils have been
- minimized under the wise rules en-
forced by Sheriff Getchell the fact
remains that until provision is made

Origin Of WindfaII.
Gondon Chronicle. }


What precisely is the origin of the
expression "a windfall" which Mr..
Asquith, Lord Avebury and others use,
each with an application of his own,
In speaking of budget matters? An
old encyclopedia explains that some
families of the English nobility held
their land on tenure which forbade
them to cut down trees, these being
reserved as the property of the royal
navy. But any tree which fell down
without human assistance they might
Keep. SO that hurricane causing a
great 'w1ndfalr' was heartily welcome
1t seems probable. however, that the
expression was simpler in origin. Even
an apple that fell to the ground with
out the trouble of picking it, and which
passerby might often annex withou,
feeling that he was thief, would be q
lucky "windfall."

The East and the Far West.

One of the features of the recent big
tariff discussion was the spirit of hos
tility to New England which cropped
out in the speeches of some of the
senator's of the South and far West.
| This feeling was recently voiced by
Governor Johnson of Minnesota, speak
ing at the Seattle Fair when he called
upon the people of that section to as
sist in throwing off "the shackles of
the East" He made it very clear that,
SO far as he was personally concerned,
he had absolutely no use for New Eng
land or its people. There is no reason
to believe, however, that these few
ebullitions, represent any very deep
seated or general feeling among the
people either of the far West Or of the
South. They are rather the growls Of
a few ambitious men. who have found
themselves unable to dictate matters
at Washington, where seniority of ser
vice has in the natural order Of things
given the experienced New England
members an Importance in national
legislation not enjoyed by the new
members particularly in the Far West.
where the principle of rotation has
prevented the constantly new and con-
stantly changing numbers of Congress
from that section from obtaining the
committee positions that come only
through the experience secured by
length of service Governor johnson
has simply taken up the complaint of
the men who feel that they have fail
ed to secure the recognition that was
their due. because he is an avowed
Presidential candidate. and was hungry
for some catch phrase which would as
sist in elevating him to the leadership
to which he aspires. 1t seems to us
that he was peculiarly unfortunate in
his choice. No man can win the conf
dence and esteem of the American peo-
pie by seeking to stir up sectional dis-
terence and strife.
The West was never more prosper
Gus or more progressive than it is to.
day. It's future is bright. with promise.
Its people are too busy to give ear to
the walls of the man with a crouch.
They have vastly better use for their
time. No part of the country has pros
pered more under the policy of pro-
lection of the country, and is moreover
peculiarly indebted to the East for
the great movements for educational,
moral. financial. and commercial re-
form that have done so much to better
the civic life of the nation. She is in
debted to the East also for thousands
of the progressive industrious God
fearing men and women who hav.
helped develop her marvellous resources
ard build up her citizenship.
The talk of Governor Johnson about
throwing off "the shackles of the East
is the purest rot. 1t is puerile, and
should not be taken as fairly voicing
the real sentiment of the people of the
West. The population out there is
made up of robust Americans, and they
have now, as they have always had. a
warm corner in their hearts for the
people of New England.

That was a cute dialogue and pict-
uresque scene that happened in the
home of Harry Bumpus in Auburn the
other morning. A pair of twin babies
had been left at the house during the
night and when two little girls came
down stairs in the morning they were
shown the new corners and told that
the doctor had left one for each of
them. The children were greatly
pleased and when their six year old
brother came down an hour later Sybil
and Dollie FASTENED to tell him of then
good fortune. Little Hartland looked
at the babies a few minutes and then
with a quivering lip asked: why
didn't the doctor leave one for me?"
To this pathetic query Dollie replied:
He would have given you one if you
had got UP earlier" While this expla-
nation was not entirely satisfactory to
Hartland he decided to make the best
of the situation and consoled himself
by saying. 1.-The next time 1 will be on
hand early to get my share!' The mat
ter was thus fixed up all right and all
hands are enjoying the babies.

The Portland Advertiser thus de-
sCribes the passing of the tall chimney
that remained as given monument to
the memory of the old City Hall: She
just fell, that's all, and the little group
of 25. including newspaper men and
stayout-a -nighters who had expected
a great spectacle when the old chimney
of the old City Hall came down were
rather disappointed. Last night before
knocking off work for the day, work
men dug out the bricks under the chin
ney on the westerly side for distance
of three feet, and at o'clock this
morning j. 3. Aldrich, the wrecker in
charge of demolishing the old building
and three workmen, quietly went to the
City Hall lot and finished the job
After 81 minutes of chiseling away
bricks on the westerly side of the
chimney. it began to totter, and Mr.
Aldrich, who stood about 80 feet
away warned tie men who were under
1t at work, cut the remaining guy wire
that held it. and with a thunderous
roar the old chimney that had stood
for more than 50 years hit the ground
hard for distance CT about 125 feet
west of the base which was in the
center of the lot. 1t was fair daylight
about 4.10 when the chimney came
| down, and soon Tafterward men were al
| work carting the thousands of bricks
| away.
