We're prominent exhibitors in this de-

keeps Barred Plymouth Rocks and uses
them as mothers to hatch and rear her
stock preferring them to incubators and
breeders, believing that the chicks rails

them from the eggs.
Miss Kicker is well read person in
poultry lore and studies the way advo-

THE NOES HAVE 1T.

PORTLAND, Me-, September IA. Three
questions were submitted to the people
of Maine on Monday for an expression of
opinion and this was the first application
of the principle under an act passed by
the Legislature in 1907 confined to acts
of the Legislature subject to petition
of 10, 900 names being filed to secure ref
erence.
The first question pertained to the Mil
liken bill, so-called, which barred all
beverages having in excess of l per cent.
alcohol or requiring the payment of a
federal tax. The second had to do with
an act dividing the town of York and
forming another town to be called
Gorges. The third was in relation to
bill which provided for an elaborate new
bridge across Portland harbor to connect
the cities of Portland and South Portland
and do away with the crossing OF rail,
road tracks styled the graduation Of
death.
All three questions undoubtedly were
defeated by wide margin.

SEPTEMBER.

When the tan is deep on lovely Mabel's check,
And the freckles round her nose play hide-and-
seek;
when the 'skeeter comes along
With swelling ombongpong,
-. Rather sleek;
When the airy Summer Maid begins to freeze,
Getting cooler by some forty nine degrees,
And goes on her cruel way
Bouncing every fance
That she sees!
When the Oyster comes a-sailing DER the bar.
And resumes his former ways SO popular,
With the Goldfish and the Smelt,
In the newborn month that's spet
With an R.
When the ripened grain awaits the Reapers
hand;
And blight comes Ger the brazen Village
Band;
When we hear Stump Speakers trill
Bits about the Tariff Bill
Ger the land;
When the Huskin-Bee is buzzing everywhere,
And the punkin wins rich prizes at the Fair;
When we hear the gentle Groom
OF the Wild Duck and the Loon
On the air;
When the Tadpole sheds his adolescent tail
In the pretty little mill-pond in the vale,
And hops out upon the log,
There to MARBLE like Frog
Strong and hale;
When the Pippin getteth ready for the bob,
And the frosty breezes round about us throb,
And the pearly Corn doth lure
With its song SO sweet and pure
To the cob;
When the Sun begins to seek an earlier cot,
! And the Landlord sends bill for all we've got;
When the Lobster grown obese
| Ends his days in scarlet peace
In the pot
When the Frost is on the Punkin and the Pea;
And there's mighty little doing by the sea;
When the hills grow chill and bare,
| And the town begins to flare
| Merrily;
When the sleep of Summer finally is slept,
And the peeping birds their pretty pipes have
pept.
And the autumn breezes blow
| Who is he that doth not know
/! It is Sept?

THE OCEAN CHRONICLE
A Paper Published at Sea Long Before
Wireless Was in Operation.


Many ocean travellers consider the
daily papers now printed on board some
of the ships a great novelty, and they
are in their way, as the wireless tele-
graph makes them, in stricter sense of
the world, daily newspapers. But long
before wireless telegraphy was put to
use one publication Of this kind known
as the Ocean Chronicle was published
regularly on the American ship Frank
Pendleton, Capt. E. P. Nichols, who be-
sides navigating his ship acted as editor,
printer and publisher of this sheet, COM
posing the matter in it as he set it up at
the case, thus avoiding writing his
copy" out. The following are a few
extracts from the Chronicle published
while on voyage of 1856 days from Sar
Diego to Liverpool in 1888:
Crossed the equator May 10, in longi-
tude 20 west 103 days out-the Franks
longest record.
''Our passage across the equator this
