AT 8 o'clock the convention resumed
its program, Rev. Q. W. Jones con-
Quoting the devotional exercises and
reading for Scripture lesson l Cor
thirteenth chapter. In the absence of
Rev. 7. r. Reagan OF Corvallis, who

the Unreached," Rev J. A. Afford of
Butte spoke on the work of the schools
of the state generally. Some remarks
followed and after a song Rev. Afford
spoke on the subject, avenues to the
Individual" The speaker based his
remarks on the five senses seeing,
hearing, tasting, smelling, feeling as
avenues through which impressions
come and we are influenced thereby,
either for good or bad. The subject
was treated in a mastery way, the
speaker holding the attention of
everyone closely to his theme. The
meeting then closed with song and
benediction.

tempt at suicide Saturday night, at

left the house. He went to the slaugh-
ter house Of May Bros. at Fort Owen,
and secured the gun, with which he
returned home. Mr.. Milward raped
on the window of the house and told

say, to say it quick, and before she
could stop him he fired the fatal shot.

Popularity or Respect?

Sanford says he will yet be a pop
llar man in this State Stranger
things might happen, but he may be
sure of one thing, few men were ever
popular for any length of time unless
they deserved it, Sanford was pop
ular once because he was a first class
baseball player. He is unpopular now
because he is the leader of sect
founded on what the majority of peo-
pie believe to be unsafe and unsound
principles. When he removes the cause
for his unpopularity and substitutes
therefor something more compatible
with New England thought and tenn
permanent, he can resume his place as
a popular man. Few men live their
lives out unpopular because misunder-
stood. There have been such cases
and every man with a crouch points
to them as examples of good men Oike
himselO whom the world did not ap-
precate.
Mere popularity isn't a very high
ideal, but if any man sets out to win
his way to it, he can succeed if his
porcine proclivities are not too promi-
nently displayed
Respect is worth more in life and
in death than mere popularity and pos
slbly Sanford meant respected
when he said popular Maine will
| be pleased to respect Sanford and his
| teachings when he so conducts himself
| and teaches such doctrine that he is
| entitled to the respect of normal
man.

Business LOOKING Up,

Statistics relating to our trade on
the Great Lakes indicate that it forms
very appreciate proportion of our
total business. The tonnage for do
nestle lake trade was the largest i'll
July that it has ever been since records
have been preserved. The shipments
this year amounted to 12,39S,550 net tons
as against 100000 net tons less in
July 1908 and 1,166,0OO net tons less in
July 1907. The statistics are COM
piled under Federal auspices and are
undoubtedly correct.
Of the iron ore shipments, which in.
creased markedly, about so per cent
or 6,727,664 gross tons were handled a

though the total amount shipped was

during the month 97942 tons of flour

movement through the canals at Sault

America Leads.

A few weeks ago the aviatOrS of the
United States were startled by the
news that Frenchman had flown
across the English channel. At that
time the press of the country rightfully
took the ground that the French led
in navigation of the air. Their numer-
GUS plants for experiments and the
large sum of money invested in avla-
ton, led us to believe that France
would continue to lead several years,
but the performances of the American
built aeroplanes at Rheims upset all
the calculations.
Glenn Curtis in his Golden Flier'
sailed circles around all the other avia-
tors and brought home the lions share
Of the prizes. Where regrets We're
freely INDUCED in, before the tourna-
ment, because there was but one
American contestant, there is now the
feeling that one was more than enough.
Americans can well be proud of the
shifting of the lead from France to
America, but they will do we'll to keep
busy lest the next sailing tournament
result less favorably. All the aviators
are making rapid progress. It is SIM
ply a question of development in which
the most persistent student will win.
At the present time we have several
heavier than air machines that can and
do fly. A heavy wind has been the
bug bear of most experimenters, but
lately the aviators have gained more
confidence and have not hesitated to
breast quite strong breeze. Sustained
fight has been reduced to a question
of fuel supply. With gasoline sufficient
to drive the engine "a hours, we will
have "a hour flights.

"Bosco" is the latest freak. Bussey is

when he was ticketed for the butchers
cart Last year he made 800 showing

his money to go to college, and thinks
if Bosco behaves well enough he will
have enough cash by another year to
enter the University of Maine. Bulls
do not improve in disposition with age,
but thus far Bosco is as kind and gen.

make him do almost anything but talk.

Portland Argus: Some idea of the
way freight cars are scattered about
over the country may be gathered from
the following list of one train as it
stood in local yard recently. The
cars were as follows beginning at the
head end of the train: n. Y. c. & H. r.
1865, N. Y. Ontario & w. 9427, b. & O..
165, 1SO, N. Y. G. & II. r. 1921, N. o..
& N. e. Queen e CrescenD 15,72O,
Pere Marquette 7640, Erie 1O6,552,
Y. c. & II. r. 94,92O; three of the Bos-
ton & Maine came next followed by
one Eastman Heater car, Maine Cen
trail 3717, then two more Boston &
Maine, Ann Arbor APO, two more B0s-
ton e Maine, one Eastman Heater car,
Bangor & Aroostook 1856, Rutland SASS,
B. & o. refrigerator car 14,434, one
Maine Central, l.. S. & M. S. 1889,
D. &, II. Co. 1888. The train was sup
posed to be a Boston & Maine freight
running on the Western division, but
it would seem that some cars were be-
ing used far from home and friends.
The Queen & Crescent line car was
the farthest from it's native heath, and
it would be interesting to know how
like the corpse of Macbeth, "How gat

Rural Life.

i
1 costing the United States s4O,ooo,oo'
per year, the advantages incident u
the system are SO great that we nave
vet to hear a breath of suggestion tha'
they are not worth the money. Only
13 years ago the first rural free de-
livery routes were established as ar
experiment, but the original widely
| scattered five routes have been sup
plemented by others until it is a spare
Nv settled country indeed that does not
enjoy the service. Improvements in
the service have been made constantly
until the dweller on the farm has every
| possible advantage for mail communl-
cation with the outside world and the
problem of country life without lone
| illness has been largely solved.
When the first routes were estab-
| lished there was howl of protest from
| the country postmasters and others
who saw in the system disaster for
them as individuals. 1t was freely pre-
dicted that the routes would fail to
perform the task assigned them and
that within a short time the people
would petition to have the old regime
restored. So far as the cost of the
routes is concerned the calamity howl
ers were right. 1t has cost a vast
amount of money, but it is considered
that it is worth every cent that it has
cost.
The rural free delivery route, to-
gether with the rural telephone line
has revolutionized country life. Trav-
elers through the country districts find
that the farmer on the crossroads is
qualified to discuss with him the news
of the day, for he has daily paper.
He finds that the farmer has the latest
prices of produce in the nearest mar
ket center He finds that the farmer
can step into the kitchen and call a
doctor if the services of a physician
are needed, that his wife dresses in
better taste and with better material
than go per cent. of the women of the

his wife are enjoying every advantage
that he and his family enjoy in the city

enough to feet him against the frost

see what can be done to keep the coal
dealer appeased until the warm wea-
Their comes again, and of hanging up
his coat at night in house where no
landlord is coming at the end of the
month to demand his toll.
We once heard of commission
which was charged with the duty of
discovering what the matter was with
able to decipher the reports sent forth,
and considering the fact that no re-
port worth mentioning has as yet found
it's way into print, we are led to the
conclusion that after due deliberation
the commission discovered that there
wasn't anything the matter with coun-
try life in America except the pro-
pensity of a few sportsmen to shoot
COWS and mules in mistake for deer
and moose.
