The Turkish Fee.

The use of the fez is not con
trolled by religious faith, for it il
worn by all classes in the Turkish
empire and even beyond its limits
II is said to derive its name 1ron
the African city of Fee. In the Le'
want it is more commonly known
under the modern designation Of
rarbosh. While the fez is now dis
tinctively Turkish or Mussnlman
its use is by no means aneien
among the Ottomans. 1t is sal;
that It was introduced to Turklsl
use by the Sultan Mahmud IL, VIII
adonted it from the Greeks.

Gems In Verse
HOUSE OF TOO MUCH TROUBLE,

I'm the House Of Too Much Trouble
Lived q lonely little boy.
He was eager for a playmate,
Il He was hungry for toy.
But It was always too much potHS,
Too much dirt and too much nolss,
yor the House Of Too Much Trouble
Wasn't meant for little boys.
And sometimes the little fellow
Left book upon the floor
Or forgot and laughed too LOUDLY
Or he failed to close the door
In q House Of Too Much Trouble
Things must be precise and trtH-
In a House Of Too Much Trouble
There was little room for him.
"He must never scatter playthings,
He must never romp and play.
Every room must be In order
And Kept quiet all the day
He had never had companions
He had never owned pet.
In the House Of Too Much Trounss
II IL trim and quiet yet.
Every room is set in order,
Every book is in its place,
And the lonely little fellow
wears a smile upon his face.
In the House Of Too Much IrouDH
He is silent and at rest
In the House Of Too Much Trouble
With a lily on his breast.

North Carolina Editor Makes an
Address on Subject

Address on Subject
One of the most powerful and per-
sistent champions that the cause Of
good roads has is Editor q. b. Var
ner, of the Lexington, N. c., Dis
patch. 1t is said that the Dispatch
is publishing more good roads SEN
timent and is giving itself more
wholly to the good roads cause than
all the other papers in North Caro-
lima combined.
On June % Editor Warner spoke
before the meeting of the North
Carolina Press Association at Hen
Jacksonville. His speech was one
of the most cogent arguments for
good roads that have yet been ut
tered. Below are reproduced some
excerpts from it
1.-THE press always leads, or al
ways ought to lead, in fight for
better things. 1t is the high duty
of every newsp. per in North Caro-
lima to take up the cudgels vigor'
ously for better roads. The State
of Georgia is afame with good roads
enthusiasm because the newspapers
in that common wealth have be un a
campaign that must result in good
roads. In this instance alone the
duty OF the press and the effects o.
its efforts are brilliantly set forth
United, determined, persistent
the press can do anything. 1t is
all-powerful. The conqueror o
Europe, Napoleon the mighty. him

Goats. more than any other thing,
have assisted the rural inhabitants Of
Asia Minor to destroy the magnifi-
cent forests which once extended
from Smyrna through to Konia, the
ancient capital Of Karamania. Not only
have the peasants and nomads de-
stroyed the timber for the sake OF
irewood, but they destroyed II also
in order that their goats might oh.
tain suitable pasture. And the goats In
their turn prevented the new shoots
ever after replacing the trees which
had been cut down.

BUIlOln6 At BAILEY

A number OF nice cottages have

year and two are especially well 10

tages. These are owned by Miss May

architects. Both cottages have the
new outside large single effect and
are INTELLECTUALLY very handsome.
They were built by Contractor Charles
5. Thomas, who has also finished
since last season a $500 cottage for
Mr.. A. b. Payton of Ware, Mass,
which measures 35x45 on the ground.
This cottage Ii located at the south
east end Of the island and It's fea-
ture Is the rough stone pillar con-
struction In front. There are two bath
rooms In this house and a very COM
pete water supply plant.
Mr.. Thomas has also built a large
boarding house for III. Frank John
son, containing upward of 20 rooms,
and has enlarged the z. 8. Leeman
cottage. He has the contract for q fine
cottage to be built for Charles York
and the lumber for this IL on the
ground. Two more are to 90 up during
the summer. one for Joseph Lubee,
and one for Albert Smith. These are

Looking backward a few years into
our files we note the result Of the
guessing contest conducted by the
Breeze In 1906. The problem put be-
fore our readers was one which gave
a wide margin Of speculation, viz: The
number Of through passengers which
the Harpswell Steamboat Co., which
then controlled the majority Of the
island business, would carry during
seven weeks In July and August from
and to Portland. This included no
transient business between the islands.
The books Of the company showed the
surprising number Of over 10000 and
AZ the business has increaseS Is or 20
percent each season since presumably,
Portland can figure on the Casco Bay
and Harpswell lines as q carrier and
trade producer during full season Of
three months Of no mean power. A
fairly conservative presumption IN that
10000 passengers Of this class will he
carried to and from the lower bay
islands and az many more to and from
Portland harbor resorts during the
coming season. No record would be
made In this estimate OF commuters or
Portland people who go down and back
daily.

THE 1909 SUMMER VISITORS.

To greet the 1909 summer visitors
the Casco Bay Breeze can have no bet
ter welcome than the one which i'm
presses itself upon every visitor new
or old who comes to our wave washed
shores and wooded noeks for a rest or
vacation. 1t is in the air, this well
come emanating from every living
thing and even the rocks seem to sug-
gest cool retreats and afternoons with
pillow and book within hearing of tie
surf
No grander feeling can be aroused in
q human soul than that induced by an
early trip down the Bay while 1t Is
In Its freshest green and the beaches
are not yet teeming with bathers or
strollers. The air seems as balmy as
during most days OF the later sum-
mer and with dawn peeping over the
crest OF the seas at about O'Clock I'm
the morning, Qf you happen to be ND
to see it, fullness OF the feeling that
some. at least, Of life's trials are triv-
iai, pervades and sinks into the early
tourists soul with the first twenty
four hours In the Bay. Appetite comes
with jump and that puts a rosy look
on the environment OF the most con-
hrmed pessimist. Business cares fade
away and everyone seems to hold out
q hand OF welcome to you after your
absence or II you are a newcomer. Cot
tages which have been locked and
shuttered for six or eight months, are
opened and even the dust which In
city would be inches deep, seems to
have fallen lightly If at all on the furn-
fshings. There is practically no dust
raised In the air on the Casco Bay ISL
ands except at a few points where
travel Is congested near steamer land
ings.
The Matchless Bay, dotted with ISL
and Gems, is at its best now. Thrice
welcome will be the early arrivals and
thrice will they be repaid for coming
a little before the rush. The Breeze ex-
tends Its hand with heartiest greetings
to new and old faces for 1909.
