When you tadpoe, and l was a fish,
In the Paleozoic time;
And side by side in the ebbng tide
We crawled through the ooze, and slime
Or skitted with many a caudal flip
Through the depths Of the Cambrian fen.
My heart was rife with the joys of life,
For l loved you, even then.
Mindless we lived, mindless we loved,
And mindless at last we died.
And deep in rift of Cardoic drift
We slumbered side by side.
The world turned on in the lathe of time
And the hot lands heaved aman,
Till we grasped breath from the womb of deatI
And crept into life again.
We were amphbians then. scaled and tailed
And writing language dumb,
With never spark in the empty dark
To hint at life to come.
Yet mindless we lived, and mindless loved,
And mindless died once more.
And our forms were rolled in the clinging mold
OF Necomean shore
The Eons came, and the Eons fed,
And the sleep that wrapt us fast
Was riven away in newer day,
And the night of death was past.
l thewed like an Arrack bull
And tusked like great cave bear;
And you, my sweet, from head to feet,
We're clothed in your glorious hair.
| faxed flint to cutting edge,
And stood me upon the brink.
Through Drawn and bone drave the stone,
When the mammoth came to drink
Loud we howled DER the moonlit wastes
Loud answered kth and kin.
From west to east to the crimson feast
The clan trooping in.
And that million years ago,
In a time that knows,
Yet here tonight, in the mellow light,
We sit at Delmonico's
Your eyes deep as the Devon springs;
Your hair as dark as JET
Your years few your love is new;
Your soul untried, and yet
Our trail is in the Kmmiridge clay
In the warp of the Purbeck flags
We have left our bones in the Bagshot stones
At the foot of the Caroline crags;
Our lives are old orr love is old
And death shall come amain
Should it come today what man may say
We shall not live again.
Then we linger at luncheon here
Ger many dainty dish;
Let us drink to the time when you
Were tadpole and was a fish

if enacted into law, promise to depre-
ciate the value of nearly every woodlot in
Maine, as we'll as in a number of other
States that produce pulp wood. Senators
Hale and Frye are we'll aware of that, as
we'll as of the tendency that the proposed
law would have toward lowering wages
of Maine workmen and OF giving Canada
the advantage in the great paper and
pulp industries. A goodly number of Sen
ators and Representatives from other
states are gathering under Senator Hale s
leadership. He already has formidable
following. There is small hope of ac-
comprising much in the House, where
the bill will probably pass about as it was
drawn, but the shock of battle is to be
had in the Senate, where there is more
latitude for hot fighting.
Senator Frye says that the removal of
the duty from wood pulp would transfer
that industry to Canada, and that the
10 600 men now employed in the wood
pulp and paper business in Maine would
be placed in forced idleness. These in
dustries, ne said, represent $40, 900, 600
in capital.

SIGNS OF SPRING.

Sisters planning dresses, dimities and lawn,
Constant talk of fashions now is going on,
Outing costume chatter every day we hear,
There's no doubt about it, spring is drawing
near.
Mothers started signing, mutters "Mercy me!
Everything about the house is dirty as can be-
We must start house cleaning very soon fear,
There's no doubt about it, spring is drawing
near.
Brother Bill is sewing up baseball mitt,
Telling us about the time he made three base
hit;
Thinks that he'll be captain of his nine this
year,
There's no doubt about it, spring is drawing
Every ones excited; spring is in the air.
Women folks are planning what they're gong
to wear;
To foretell its coming, needs no wise, old seer
Fathers getting lazy. Spring will soon be
here.

THE TopsAlL SCHOONER MEXICAN
Queen of the Penobscot Bay Fleet in 1887.

Queen of the Penobscot Bay Fleet in 1897.
The topsail schooner Mexican, the
"Queen of Penobscot Bay in the
palmy days of the coastwise trade, was
built at the Mill Brook shipyard in West
Prospect, now Searsport, and launched
in May, 1885. She was 116 tons, 0. NJ,
80 feet in length, Is feet in breadth and
10 feet deep. The model was made by
Master Sebra Croker, who was also
m ster builder until she was ready for
planking, when he was engaged to build
another vessel, Master Henry Mathews
completing the work on the Mexican.
Both of those men were well known
master builders in the early days of West
Prospect, where at one time was owned
and managed in the early '40's 40 YES
sells engaged in the coastwise trade.
The Mexican was built for Capt. Ben
iamin Colcord, who sailed her for about
year. She was then commanded by Capt.
John P. Colcord continuously until he re-
tired from the sea. While in his COM
mand she was never outsailed. She was
engaged in the lumber trade between
Bangor and Boston and other ports in
that vicinity, returning with freight and
PdooCHS5CIo aiiu " do Wei outSCool vi iiiioli-
cially for her owners.
After Capt Colcord retired she was
commanded by Capt. Jeremiah Grant of
Prospect for time, and then by Capt.
Nelson Smart of Searsport, who com
manded her in the lumbe. trade out of
Bangor until 1859, when she was sold to
Capt. Riley Cottrell of Belfast and was
afterward owned in Frankfort and Ban
gor.
She ended her days on the Neck, Squam
Bar, Oct. II, 1890. A marine painting of
the wreck by a Gloucester school teach
err took the first prize of 81, 500 at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago in 1893.
The Bangor Commercial, in publishing
this account of the Mexican, had an ac
companying cut from a photograph Of
painting now in the possession of Miss
Hannah C. Colcord of Searsport, the
daughter OF the late Capt. John P. Col
cord, who commanded the Mexican in
her palmy days.

ENDS YELLOW PINE CASES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Will Approve the Agreements.
They Relate 10 Illegally Charged
TO Ohio River Points.

It is probable that the Interstate Com
merce Commission will, in the next few
days. issue an order approving the COM
promise agreements effected In the yel-
low pine cases. which have been q mat
ter Of litigation for the past four years.
The agreements relate 10 the 2-cent
reparatIon for freight rates Illegally
charged on invoices from yellow pine
territory TO Ohio River points.
The three agreements which wiz be
the basis Of the order Of the commits
sion are the sO-called Tiff agreement

Because this plan was adopted the COM

PULP WOOD Used IN 1908
Consumption Was 9,946,106 Cords,
Valued at S28, 100000
Spruce Most Widely Employed and
Much of IL Imported from
Canada

Two hundred and hfty-one pulp mills
in the United States used s,S4s,lo6 cords Of
wood and made 2I1s,s47 tons OF pulp last
year. Spruce has always been the lead
ing pulp wood. and it furnished g. per
cent OF the total quantity used
The rapid development OF ths woOd-pulp
industry in the last ten years has rem
dered the domestic supply OF spruce In
sufficient 10 meet the demands upon It and
consequently importauons from Canada
have been heavy. In 1903 our pulp mills
consumed nearly one and one-half mil
lion cords OF domestic spruce and over
$4,000 cords Of imported spruce, making
the imports Of spruce 45 per cent Of the
domestic supply.
Next 10 spruce, the most important pulp
wood is hemlock. 5s9.T7s cords Of It were
converted into pulp last year. All the
hemlock used was Of domestic origin, and
most Of & was produced iR the Lake
States and Pennsylvania. Although now
used in less quantity than spruce and
hemlock, poplar has long been a standard
pulp wood. A sman quantity OF poplar
is imported, but by far the larger portion
OF more than 10000 cords used last year
was cut from domestic timber. Spruce.
hemlock. and poplar made Up 90 per cent
Of the total quantity of pulp wood used
The remainder was supplied by many
species. the most important Of which
were pine, cottonwood. and balsam-
The wood used by the pulp mills last
year cost them a little more than $2s0O0.-
900. or an average OF Ss.SS a cord against
an average Of Ss21 in 1907 The most
costly wood used was imported spruce,
with an average value Of 5000 cord
The average for domestic spruce was
Ss.7s a cord and for poplar $S-04 a cord
The cheapest wood used in large quantity
was hemlock. the cost being $500 a cord
Owing to the uncertain business condi-
tions the total consumption Of pulp wood
IN 1903 was nearly l6 per cent less than
in 1907 but this did not prevent con-
siderable Increase in the price OF wood
The high price OF wood keeps the manu-
facturers constantly on the lookout for
cheaper raw material, and one OF the
most encouraging developments has been
the increased use OF slab wood and other
savmir waste. This drift IN the Industry
Is clearly indicated by the fact that 1SS. %
cords Of mill waste were reported as con-
sumed in pulp manufacture during 1867.
while 252 S96 cords, an increase Of 30 Per
cent. were used In 1908
