TRIUMPHANT VOYAGE

III AVING put round the earth a
1T girdle of amity, our battleships
have come home, the purposes
of their great voyage accomplished.
The greatest warrior fleet ever sailing
beneath one admiraPs flag has cruised
the Atlantic and the Pacific oveans,
has traversed the Mediterranean and
the Red sea, touched many ports~in
many lands and fired no gun save in
salutation. The dove, not the eagle,
harbingered its greetings.
Two vital facts are impressed on all
the nations by this unexampled voyage:
That we seek quarrel with none.
That we can wage war with any.
The feet left Hampton Roads to
demonstrate as well to ourselves as to
all others its perfect fitness for fight
To Hampton Roads it has returned
with The demonstration as conclusive
ly established as a problem of Euclid.
Our ships have run their course of
twice the worlds circumference with
the precision and exact timing which
marks a well made watch. Without
delays, without mishaps. always in ar
ray, ever under perfect discipline, they
have established new. unthought of,
prodigious records of efficiency.
The worlds tendency to peace gath
ers fresh impetus from this potential
pageant of the seas Impressive in the
orient and to the American republics
has been the exhibition of the great
republics mail-clad hands. The Unit
ed States attains among some ruder
civilizations higher dignity. The
claim of American citizenship takes on
abroad a greater weight and a prouder
distinction.
proud nation welcomes home its
fighting ships and fighting men.-St.
Louis Times.

GOOD SUGGESTION

WI E are indebted for our topic to-
wv day to one of the Junior boys
W whose stories and letters have
already made his name familiar to all
the Junior readers, / am sure. Frank
Tom Howell, whose favorite topic this
one is, is one of the ambitious Junior
boys, who mean to accomplish some
thing really. worth while in their life

John Jones was aye a model lad
The days he went TO school;
Jim Smith was generally bad
And acted Ike a fool.
Folks said that little Johnnie Jones
Would be person great,
While Jim, they said in minor tones,
Would have sorry fate.
So good and true a boy was John
What harm could come to him?
But all would gravely comment on
The future life of Jim.
Jones is an honored man today,
Beloved, wealthy, bright.
Smith is in jail-Whats that ?-Oh, sa,
Sometimes the folks are right.

II ESSIE, is there really pot

1T says here that if we 60 to
the end of the rainbow we will

Wouldn't it be fun to find it and

mamma p
Let me see what it does say"
said Jessie, taking the book and
reading the page. Il think it is
only a fairy tale, Mary, and there
is really no pot there"
The rain had been beating
down with swift, sudden show
er, which had caused both the
girls to scurry into the house, and
now they looked up to see the
sun shining out from behind the
clouds and all the face of nature
wore beatihc smile. While they
looked Mary cried, ooh, Jessie,
look, quick; there is a rainbow
now, and the end is just on the
other side of the hill in Farmer
Jones meadow! Let US go and
see if the pot of gold is really
there"
Jessie, who thought the grass
rather wet and was conscious of
neglected practice time, offered
some objections, but they were
promptly overruled by Mary,
whose heart was set on this pot
of money. Jessie was a little Gu
rious, too, and so in a moment the
girls had slipped into rubbers,
coats and caps and were off
across the meadow. AS they
passed around the house Carl was
going up. the front steps, and they
laughingly informed him that
they were going to find pot of
gold
The rainbow, with its beautiful
colors, was still clear in the sky,
and they felt that they would
surely find the foot of it when
they climbed the hill in Neighbor
Jones pasture lot and passed be
hind the tree there which seemed
to hide the exact location of the
pot of gold.
They met one or two Of their
fathers friends, who wondered at
the excited manner of the girls
and questioned them concerning
their destination, for it was grow
ing nearly time for the sun to set
and rather too late for them to
be roaming in lonely fields.
Finally the girls got to the tree
and were amazed to see that the
rainbow did not end there, but
Just on top of the hill across the
little brook. They started off
again, chatting busily of the
things they would do with their
money when they found the pot
of gold-what they would get for
mother, what Carl would like,
whether or not father would like
a gold watch or a new riding
horse, and so OIL

plan of permanent establishment Of a library. Henry A. Gilbert, the committee on bylaws, spoke on mat ters pertaining to state laws regulat- ing libraries and bylaws to govern local organizations, and read a set of bylaws which had been drafted. Ane first of these wac that a library be established, which should be free to all inhabitants of the town. An other important bylaw was that s200 be annually expended by the town for the maintenance and in- crease of the public library. The bylaws also provide that the direct ors receive from the borough of Bethel the books and other property bequeathed by Miss Parloa for a library there. That the number Of directors be twelve, was another ot the bylaws. The bylaws covered the matter well and were adopted. It was voted that the chair appoint a committee of three to present a list of names for a board of directors. This committee reported and the fol- lowing were elected as directors:
 Directors for one year, Il. H. Wood- man, c. R. Morse, H. A. Gilbert, Rev w. I. Bowman; directors for two

years, Rev Henry Macbeth, Rev Will liam Kiernan. Horace l.. Shepard, Rev H. Q. Judd; directors for three years, Rev A. T. Steele, w. P. Bai- ley, Welford E. Andrews, John D. Melvin. It was voted that the board of directors take steps to organize a ladies auxiliary of the library. It should be understood that the $20O appropriated by the town is to pur- chase new books for the library. This amount insures a like sum from the state each year. The running expenses of the library it will be necessary to provide for in other ways, and for this purpose a popular subscription was started at the meet ing, last evening, and a neat sum was realized. This subscription paper was placed in the, hands of H. H. Woodman. The board of directors will meet very soon, when it Is ex- pected that definite action regarding this and other matters will be taken.

THE TERRIER CASE. A Letter From Rev Walter J, Shan.
 lev,

Editor Of Newt0wn Bee, Sir: The calumny which planes the Catholic church for the conviction and pun lshment of Francisco Ferrer. the nos torious Spanish anarchist. is spread- Ing and becoming worldwide. The punishment meted out to Ferrer was inflicted by the Spanish government. The church had nothing to do with It. FerreF was allowed, by Ihe mlli- tary code. 2S days for the presenta- ton of testimony, and counsel was provided. Fifteen witnesses dep0sed at his trial that he melted to riot,
 hat he personally led a group of rioters and that he instigated the burning of ConYents. If Ferrer had perpetrated, in any city in the United States, the Outfages which he com- mltted in Barcelona, he would have been strung up to the first lamp post. The prospectus of the Hay schools established by Ferrer were so revolu- tionary that it is surprising that any government would tolerate the schools. This is a sample Of the teaching: "The flag, a rag of differ- ent colors, stuck at the end of a stick, is the symbol of tyranny and misery. Soldiers should use their weapons to kill those who armed them. when war is declared every soldier should declare a strike. Every evil, every suffering, every injustice is due to that stupid and brutal thing called native land" The anarchist ic program, found in Ferrer's house, corrected, according to the testimony of experts, by his own hand, included the abolition of the bench, the army and navy, the seizure of banks, and the property of officials, as well as their imprisonment or death. One of Ferrer's pupils was Matteo Morral, who attempted to assassinate King Alfonso and his bride on their we'd ding day. Ferrer was arrested for and charged with complicity in the crime, but was acquitted as no proof was forthcoming The Government of Spain punished fer the part he played in the tragedy of pillage, ar son and murder, at Barcelona last July. The cry raised by anarchists and communists, that the Catholic church secured his conviction and punishment, expresses their hatred for the church, which stands for law and order, commands obedience to duly constituted civil authority, and is the greatest bulwark against the devastating power of anarchy, in the world.-[Walter J.

CORELESS-SEEDLESS APPLE
HAS BEEN DEVELOPED

Spokane, Wash, Noy 1.-Coreless
as well as seedless are the apples pro-
duced on single tree OF unknown
variety in an eightacre orchard at
Moran Prairie, five miles north Of
Spokane, owned by B. K. Short, a
rancher The largest Of the fruit is
three inches in diameter, the coloripg
being Of a yellowish green streaked
with red. The apples have deep pink
cheeks, and the fesA is firm and of
excellent flavor. The tree is between
IL and Is years old and is growing
in subirrigated soil at an altitude
Of 1925 feet Short does not claim
credit for developing the coreless-
seedless apple declaring it is a freak
Of nature.
Seven Of The new apples were
brought to the offices Of the National
Apple Show, in Spokane and quarter
ed in the presence Of Rem II. Rice,
secretary-manager, Professor August
van Holderbeke, formerly state com
missioner of horticulture of Washing
ton, and several growers from var
ious parts Of the Northwest, but none
was able to classify the fruit Pro
fessor w. S. Thornber, horticulturist
at the state college of Washington,
has been delegated by J. J. Browne,
regent, Of Spokane, to make thor
ough examination Of the tree to de-
termine it's origin.
Short has engaged three watchmen,
each to work eight hours a day as
guards in his orchard, to prevent injury
to the tree. He intends to graft the
scions on other trees the coming
spring. Expert pomologists say if the
process is successful he will have
made a discovery of greater CONNER
cial Importance than any yet credited
to Luther Burbank and other plant
wizards They add that while the
seedless apple is no longer novelty,
the production Of coreless one, long
sought by growers throughout the
world is a distinct triumph in apple
culture.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Nov 9--
The run Of quarantine cattle here last
week was l5S car loads, small de-
crease from previous week. but good
gain over corresponding week last
year, which, however, was election
week last year, making the compare
son Of little worth. The market held
steady on steers last week, and ad-
vanced 10 cents on COWS. and calves
made a gain Of 25 to so cents during
the week. The run Of quarantines
today is very small, and the quality is
common, except for a few heifers and
COWS, and calves are a quarter higher.
The run from native territory is mod
crate, and will be same weeks ahead,
while supply from the range country
will show falling off each week from
now till the end of the season, cir
oumstances that should tend toward
stronger prices for the immediate fu-
ture. Some good weight steers sold
lately in the quarantine division at

$3.50, odd head Of cows up to $500,
bulk Of the COWS at $315 to $3.50,
some good size strings Of cows up to
1856, calves $3,75 to $3.50 There was
an extraordinary demand here last
week for stock cattle, also good
trade in feeders, and the total ship
ments to the country, most Of which
went to Kansas, with Missouri a close
second, amounted to 500 car loads,
which is the heaviest week for No
vember.
The hog run last week was $4,000
head, smaller decrease from same
week last year than usual but that-wa
