OLD SHIPMATES MEET
And Renew Acquaintance After SO Yea,

And Renew Acquaintance After so Years.
Capt. J. 0. johnson of Liberty had the
pleasure of call recently from an old
shipmate, Capt. Edward Hardness, for
merly of Camden, but now of Walpole.
Mass. Capt. Hardness came to Liberty
with his nephew, Guy Carleton, cashier
of the Megunticook National Bank, in the
latter's automobile. Back in 81 Capt.
johnson was first mate and Capt. Hark-
ness second mate of the clipper brig Tocoa
Of Camden, the former being % and the
latter 20 years of age. The last voyage
they made together had some thrilling
incidents connected with it and these
proved fruitful themes for them to dwell
upon. The two men had not met since
those seafaring days before the war, but
through mutual friends they had kept
track of one another and on the occasion
of their recent meeting renewed ac-
quaintance after a lapse of more than
half century
On this last trip together the vessel ar
rived in Boston from Georgetown, S. c.,
with all hands, excepting Hardness, down
sick with the malarial fever. So i'll was
Capt. johnson on leaving the brig that it
was feared that it would be the last voy-
ago he would ever make. Capt. Johnson,
however, weathered the cape" that
time and lived to participate actively in
the U. S. navy during the Civil War and
has since rounded out his honorable ca
reer by some nearly 45 years of quiet life
in his home "port' of Liberty

LAUNDERING or the Pacific Coast.

''Of all the ingenious mechanisms that
help to quicken the process of dissecting
a Pacific coast log, there is none SO half
human, so gorilla-like in its suddenness,
its more than brute strength, as the mig
ger, ," writes John Kimberly Mumford in
an article upon the lumber industry of the
Northwest, which appeared in the issue
of Harper's Weekly Of June 18th. There
comes trembling of the ,'woodpile,' a
far below, and up into the air, seven,
eight feet, sweeps an awful bent arm Of
solid steel. In its hand is spike foot
in length and perhaps three inches in
diameter at the base, and sharpened
down to a point. For an instant this
grisly thing poises high above the prone
log, then like the leap of the bullet to its
mark, quicker, more deadly, even, it
strikes-a human, sickening blow"

THE WILDERNESS.

This theatre Of bloody conflicts is a
vast sea, so to speak, of dense forest-a
second growth more than century Old
1t is made up chiefly Of scrubby, low
limbed, stubborn oaks, and disordered,
haggard pines,- the soil is cold and
thin, with here and there scattering
clumps of alien cedars. Some of the
oaks are large enough to cut two rail-
road ties, and every once and while you
come across an acre or two of pines ten
to twelve inches in diameter, tall and
tapering, true to the soaring pro-
pensities of their kind. But generally,
and above all where the battle was
fought, the trees are noticeably stunted,
and so close together, and their lower
limbs so intermingled with a thick
underbrush, that it is very difficult in
deed to make ones way through them. -

WANTED: AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE.
At the present time America is repre-
sented abroad chiefly by consuls and mis-
sionaries. Gone are the business houses
and banks that could be seen all over the
Eastern world thirty years ago-also in
South America. What is the cause of
this? Has American Commerce increas-
ed OR decreased? The last question needs
no answer. The disappearance of the
American merchant marine is the cause!"
Let the Stars and Stripes be seen flying
at the peaks of ships again in the ports
that once knew them, commercial houses
and banks will soon spring into existence
again. Does it not seem ridiculous that
American goods are placed on foreign
markets by foreigners?'' Is it not ma
tural for these foreigners to push their
tage, and give them first place on the
markets before considering American
goods? Certainly it is! "Blood is thick
er than water. "A British Marine Of

Mr.. Whites enthusiasm in regard to
the destiny of Riverside sometimes car
ried him ahead faster than the people
were ready to respond and during the
boom days he incurred some heavy finan-
cial losses. Many of these he might have
avoided except for his sense Of honor,
which made it impossible for him to
avoid the payment of anything which
even by inference he had let it be under
stood that he would be responsible for.
In the disaster which overlook the River
side Improvement Company, Mr.. White
voluntarily took upon his shoulders much
more than his proportion of the debts
and responsibilities. One of Mr.. Whites
most successful enterprises and which
during recent years has recouped for him
many of the misfortunes of boom days,
was the Whites Addition subdivision.
Mr.. White was the pioneer on the east
side of the canal. He was the first to
see the great possibilities of that section
OF the city. He purchased large tract,
and piped with domestic water.
In 1887 Mr.. White associated himself
with Frank A. Miller and entered into
the real estate and insurance business,
in which his firm scored a tremendous
success. During the last ten years Mr..
White has retired from all business ac-
tivities, though he has retained keen
interest in everything which pertained to
the advancement of Riverside. From
his earliest residence Mr.. White has
lived at the Glenwood hotel and when
Mr. Miller constructed new Glenwood,
Mr. White was allowed to make his
choice OF rooms and suite was fitted
out exactly in accordance with his wishes.
The colonial style has been followed
and Mr.. White has gathered together
some rare specimens Of old colonial fur
niture, collection which it would prob
ably be difficult to duplicate in the whole

THE CHURCH AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS.
What is the true attitude of the church
towards the social, political and indus
trial life surging about it? Going still
deeper, what is the ultimate object of it's
mission? Humanity, or systems? Life,
or things? Institutions, or men?
Must the church become the arbiter of
institutions the trade union, for ex-
ample, the employers association, the
political party, systems Of industry,
forms of government-as pre-condition
OF venturing outside its own safe portals
to seek and to help men where they may
be found? Apparently it has so believed
at many times, in many lands and ages,
and has acted upon that belief with re-
suits as varied as the verdicts rendered
For the most part, this has been wasted
energy-a tournament with windmills!
Institutions, social structures, are after
all but names, forms Of expression,
heightened shadows of their creators,
not living things in themselves, either to
be saved or damned. Society is no self
existent being whose parts draw their
life from the whole and exist for the
sake of the whole, and it is not, there
fore, an organism; rather, it is an or
ganization, an association of Individual
organisms, urdWlng us own lie WhOlly
from these units, existing for their sake
and their welfare, not they for it. Be-
fore society, man was; and society might
vanish, but man would remain, however
reduced in numbers or miserable his
nomadic existence. No matter how
complex human relations become in the
process of time, the primary order re-
mains man the creator, social institu-
tons the creation. The only living,
thinking, acting factor in the community
is the true starting point of whatever is
to affect either him or his relations to
others. Hayes Robbins, in the July At
lantic.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF GOLD GLORY

The DISAPPEARANCE OF OLD GLORY
What has been the cause of the dis
appearance of "Old Glory from the
ports of the world? Can it be that
America cannot produce merchant sea-
men in this money grabbing age? Hard
ly! But to show that the American mer-
chant marine has ceased to exist, and to
convince my readers that I speak the
truth, | would like to give an experience
of my own. -Four months ago while pass
ing along the Liverpool docks on an cleo
trio train, | saw the Stars and Stripes
flying at the peak Of a sailing ship. This
so tickled me that I broke my journey
and walked back half mile to get a
closer look at the curiosity. Arriving at
the dock, | found the ship to be the
Homeward Bound of San Francisco. On
questioning the dockmaster as to the
number of American ships he had berth
ed, in his position as dockmaster, he re-
piled, This is the first American ship

perience on the docks. ''-Ibed.

tore through the tent, doubt if game
OF cards ever came to an end quicker
than that one. We fairly flew from the
tent, and at once came under shower of
bursting shells and falling wreckage.
One of the barge's old ribs, that must
have weighed at least ton, fell immedi-
ately in front of Clitz Changing his
course, he uttered only one remark, the
first half of the 35th verse of the 18th
chapter of the Holy Gospel by Sain
John; Then with eyes on the ground and
wondering, l suspect, what would come
next, he passed at great speed right by
Grant, who in his usually calm voice
asked, "Where are you coming, Clitz?"
The Admiral heaved to, and then streak
ed it for his war vessel, and we never
hnlshed the game. Morris Schaff, in the

WASTE OF cHILDREN'S LIVES.
About 100000 Die Annually From
PreventabIe Death Causes.

serious than race suicides pointed
out in Census Mortality Bulletin No.
1O4. in which it is estimated that an
nually in the United States from 100,-
600 to 100000 babies under five years
of age die from preventahle causes.
This great loss of life among the little
ones at the period when they are most
loving and most Iovable could be pre-
vented, is the opinion OF DR.. Greasy l..
Wilbur. Chief Statistician for Vital
Statistics of the Census Bureau who
prepared the bulletin, on the basis OF
present-day knowledge of sanitary
measures. For the accomplishment of
effective preventive work in thi;
direction, DIR. Wilbur holds that the

the more careful and precise state
ment Of causes OF death by physicians
are essential
In Analysing and comparing the
totals obtained in the compilation of
transcripts of death returns received
for the year 1908 by the Census
Bureau from the entire death regis
tration area of the United States, as

periods show a somewhat increased
