A w0MANLY WOMAN. By Jule Hamilton Tucker.

To be placed in the corner of a young girls mirror and read while she is making her toilette:
 She cultivates reserve.
 She thinks. then acts.
 She speaks III of no one.
 She is loyal to her friends.
 She lives her mothers faith.
 She cares for her body as Gods tenn pie.
 She writes nothing that she may re- gret.
 She knows that nothing is more un- dignified than anger.
 She knows that to love and be loved is her birthright-if she be but worthy of love.

Names Potential Water Power.

The total amount of water power now
developed in Maine as estimated by the
United States geological surveys is
153, 900 horse power minimum which 10
equivalent to a total of $4,000 horse
power minimum for the six high-water
months. The total uudeveloped water
power in Maine minimum, six high-wa-
ter months) is $50, 800 horse power, max
ing total of $4,000 horse power. In
addition to this it is estimated by the
same authorities, based upon govern
ment surveys, that 10000 horse power
may be secured by additional storage
making grand total of 1,19S,900 horse
power. The government estimates the
value of water power at current rates in
the United States as s33 per horse
power per annum. The value therefore,
of the water power Of Maine developed
and undeveloped is not far from $780,
OO0, 900 per year. Names present de-
velopment is therefore valued at about
IS, O00, 900 per annum as market prod
uct. What she has left undeveloped lin
round numbers) Is worth about ST.
600 900 per annum and the amount to be
added by increased storage equals about
81 / 200, 900 year.

Tho Old Delrv Iiomestead.

There was no falling of from the
standard established for South Paris
amateurs in the production of 1.-THE Old
Dairy Homestead" the play presented
last Thursday and Friday evenings for
the benefit Of Hamlin Lodge, K. of P.
1t was we'll done in every detail, and
would have done credit to any company.
The play itself, without any confusing
amount of plot, combines the general
style of the time-honored melodrama
with many of the incongruities which
have made their appearance in the trans
ition from the one-time legitimate drama
to the vaudeville or near-v vaudeville
show which meets the present-day stand
ard. Therefore, while not giving the
very highest form of expression of dra-
matte art, it is an entertaining play, and
one which succeeds in hitting all tastes
to some extent.
First as Mike Donnavin, travelling
tinker, later In the play as the female
Irish cook, and all the time as detective,
Clyde Hebbard displayed versatility not
surprising to those who had had pre-
vious evidence of his capabilities. As
Malcolm Gray, the schemer and ex-con-
vict, Harold T. Briggs played the villain
and carried out his diabolical plans in a
manner to satisfy the severest critic.
Willie Work, a gentleman of leisure, in
the person of Harold c. Fletcher, al
though he proved at the climax of the
play to be the detectives assistant, up
to that time looked and acted the hobo
to the last detail. A. L. Holmes as
Jason Wilkins, the owner Of the Old
Dairy Homestead, and j. j. Merrill as
Josh Arrowroot, the hard-fsted and
tight town constable, presented
those two extremely rural characters in
"a decidedly realistic way.
Ruby, the little waif, in the person of
Mrs. l. E. Andrews, was charming girl,
and as is always the case with the SOU
brette in q well regulated melodrama,
gets the key to the situation and saves
It, and falls in love with the tramp. As
Mrs. Glimmer, the dashipg adventures,
Miss Helen NJ. Porter wrought havoc
with the male hearts and without a
tremor engaged in the most nefarious
schemes, coming to grief Of course ut
last. Miss Bessie NJ. Haggett as Grace,
the farmers niece, presented a most
winsome picture Of the wronged and per-
secuted young wife. Always good in
any part, and attentive to every detail,
Mrs. j. j. Emeley gave most realistic
and at times convulsing representation
of Becky wilkins, the old maid.
Music was by the Swastika Orchestra.
Several songs were introduced in the
play with good effect, and between acts
there was song and dance by Ralph
Andrews and Marie Newton, and song
in blackface by Fred Hall, both of which
got hearty encore.
There was fair house Thursday even
ing, and good house at the second per-
formance Friday evening.
