PATTANcALL's PERsIFLAcE.

Pattangall is at it again. Or, if it
is not Pattangall, it is somebody
who sounds like him. Pattangall -
It it is he-seeks to make out that
Governor Fernald does not know what
ne is talking about. Pattangall knows
1t all. He denies the Governors state
ment that his administration had equal
lied and not increased the tax burdens.
1t was plain enough what the Governor
meant, for he explained his meaning
clearly. The equalization, for one thing,
consisted in getting at the wild lands and
making them pay something nearer their
proper share. But it had to be done in a
roundabout way, on account of constitu-
tlonal limitations. The Legislature in
creased the appropriations for schools
more than $500, 900. To meet this the
school tax had to be increased, but it was
made to apply to all property alike, in
GLIDING the wild lands, and this is return
ed to the towns and cities on the basis of
one third according y school population
and thirds according to valuation.
AS there are no schools or school popula-
ton in the wild lands, the practical eff
feet is to tax them for school purposes
and turn the money over to the munich
palities. The Legislature also increased
the corporation taxes, on the principle of
assessing them where they could be best
afforded and of making them more equal
to the taxation borne by the estates. -

THE CH1LDREN LIKE IT
kENNEDY'S LAXATIVE
COUGH SYRUP
PATRIOTISM IN POETRY.

At the unwilling of the monument to
General Custer in Monroe, Michigan, a
dedicatory poem was read by its author,
Will Carleton. The poem has much of
the flavor of Farm Ballads and "Citv
Ballads in its simplicity and appeal.
One verse shows Mr. Carleton's sympa-
thy with the heart of the American bow:
He walked the streets of the staid old town
HIS step was boyish, his face was fair
The rays from above came glinting down,
And toyed with the locks of his sun-strown
hair.
His look and his walk and his voice expressed
The themes and thoughts of boys unrest;
His heart held kindlings of future fame,
But where was the match to light the flame?
A journey to greatness Knocked his soul,
But where was the path to the brilliant goal?
He was just boy with a humble name,
Unhelped by a kinsmans wealth or fame,
Il must win my spurs,' his proud heart cried,
land earn the horse upon which to ride!
| must pierce the forest of glory" he said,
and hew path upon which to tread!"
50 walked Ulysses in days of yore,
On lthaca's far famed island shore;
So Caesar fondled, weak armed bow,
His mimic sword dangerous toy;
So IN the Corsican's humble town.
Trudged young Napoleon up and down;
So with his humble Ratchet of truth,
Walked Washington as callow youth:
So Grant, unfolowed by cleaning ranks,
Along the Ohio's shifting banks;
So wanders today some lonely boy,
Whom God is waiting to yet employ,
When youthful apprenticeship is through,
In something great He would have him do.

Useful Hints For Anglers.

A book worm does not make good bait
for trout fishing.
The red spots on trout do not indicate
scarlet fever or the measles as some sup
pose.
The angler is like the actor in one re-
spect, he must not forget his lines.
Like many humans, the trout that keeps
his mouth shut saves himself lots of
trouble.
Birds are often brought down on the
wing; trout are frequently brought up or
the fly.
Trout may or may not make brains,
but they certainly make liars.
We prefer, however, having our trout
stories overdrawn rather than our bank
account. =,
If you hook trout you pull it in; il
you hook anything else you are apt to get
pulled in yourself.
That is all we know about trout.

License and Local Option.

The citizens of Maine will never, in
our opinion, permit the State to come
under license law; neither can they af-
ford to permit reign local option, as
it is nothing more nor less than granting
to collection of the lower order of men
morally, the right to enrich themselves
financially at the expense and degree
dation of other members of the human
family. 1t is either right to sell intoxi-
eating beverages or it is not right. If it
is right; if the stuff is really essential to
the existence and welfare of the human
race, why not sell it as all other legiti-
mate goods are sold? II, however, it is
not a needful beverage; if it has proven
to be a bad thing for the people to use,
what right has the government to legal
ize the sale of the stuff?-Lisbon Enter
prise.

BEFORE AND AFTER.
Independent Reporter


We print below two quotations from
speeches and interviews of Obadiah
Gardner, the one given out in advance
of the State Democratic convention, the
other delivered just after the blow was
delivered him by one Pattangall of Wat
erville:
eff there is not a single man in the
hall for me tomorrow, I'll ask the chair
man of the convention to present my
name. That's how much of chance
there is of my withdrawing. Continu-
ing, Mr. Gardner said: 81 also want it
to be understood that l am not going to
let any man, who was himself driven out
of the Republican party, tell me what to
do"
Furthermore that same man at the
close of the last Legislature told friend
of mine that he intended to publish a
magazine for the express purpose of de-
feating whatever chances | had for a
denomination at this convention. That
same man was the instigator of charges
to the effect that was in collision with
the wild land owners and he has also set
in motion various other scurilous reports

A REFORMED CALENDAR.

Very ingenious, and yet very simple,
is the reform of the calendar proposed by
Prof. Grosclaude of Geneva. Instead of
seven months of 81 days each, four of 80
days each and one Of % or 20 days, he
suggests IL months of 80 days each,
which would leave five days to be includ-
ed. Each month in the professors year
would have 26 work days and four Sum-
days, and he proposes to put in an extra
Sunday at the end of each quarter. That
leaves one day to be accounted for. This
the professor would place between the
last day of December and the first day of
January and have 1t recommended as a
universal holiday. The 366th day of
leap year would go in between the last
day of June and the first day of July
every four years and be called Leap
day.
The proposed calendar, besides equaliz-
ing the days Of the months, would make
any given date fall on the same day of
the week every year. Christmas, for
instance, would always come on Monday,
and if the ecclesiastical authorities could
agree, Easter would always be celebrat-
ed on April 7th.
1t is said that many chambers of COM
nlerce and business organizations in Eng
land and on the continent have given
their hearty Endorsement to the proposed
changes in the calendar. There would
seem to be every reason why the changes
should be made, for they would involve
only temporary and very slight incon-
venience and confusion. Globe.
This is merely modiication-no an
improvement-on the new calendar. sug-

Encourages Sons to Read.

The Advertiser would like to see
more fathers do as Mr.. 7. A. Prince
does in the matter of encouraging
and stimulating his boys to read.
He subscribes for his county paper
in the name of one son and has two
other papers that he takes sent in
the names of his two other sons.
When these boys receive their mail
they feel that the papers are their
own individual property and con-
sequently take greater interest in
reading them. The idea or plan is
one worthy of emulation, and we
would like to see other fathers
adopt it.
