The Trail Among the Foothills.

Up low. verd-dotted hillslopes fair,
Where golden-crested peoples wave,
Across fretful mountain streams
That rugged. rn-edged boulders lave
The trail among the foothills winds
Along yon hollow's deep, gaunt sides.
Then on, away through live-oak glades
Where never ending summer bides.
Round knobs that face the west it curves,
Where lilac haze of sunset falls,
Then off through tangled chaparral,
Where sound lost quail's lone love-calls,
Into the canon's beryled depths
1t leads where Nights dun shadows creep,
Where witch toned winds from orange groves
Lull baby -blue-eye to soft sleep.
Beneath the ghost.limbed sycamores
The curving road seems then to rest;
A reckoning star far in the East.
CLOVIS on the blue sky's brooding breast;
The heights lone sequoia keeps
Az sentinel DER hills afar;
More dim, more shadowy grows the way:
Along the trail still guides the star.

The Family Telephone.

Whenever the telephone rings we know
It's for sister;
Dad mutters: "To answer it will not go,
It's for sister,
And mother exclaims: There's another call,
Have those young fellows no sense at all?"
While even the children begin to bawl;
'It's for sister,"
We've learned when the telephone rings a
night,
It's for sister;
At home this cry is now stale and trite,
"It's for sister,"
Young men and young women, the truth to tell
Keep one girl busy upon our bell,
And every hour you can hear us yell,
"It's for sister,"
Nobody ever calls ma or pa,
It's for sister.
We sigh "What nuisances sweethearts are!
It's for sister,"
They call her from breakfast and lunch and tea
And nobody answers it now but she.
For we're weary of shouting "Hello, then "Gee
It's for sister,"

dents visit to the Maine coast was plan
ned for recreation only, and that when
to address the people he con-
scented to do so with the proviso that his
remarks should be non-political. He has
praised our scenery, our climate, our
people, and has talked along the lines Of
good citizenship, and his reception at the
places visited has been arranged for by the
local officials, which is as it should be.
AS for his speeches the Bangor CONNER
cial Dem.) says: ''The President has
remarkable voice for out-of- doors oratory
and his remarks, entirely free from poll
tics, were in perfect taste and splendidly
suited to the occasion. President Taft
made many friends in Bangor Saturday."
The people who contributed money to

devoted to booming Belfast and Waldo
county, or who subscribed for said news
paper under like assurances, have been
grossly deceived. The paper in question
has not only been intensely partisan, but
the personal organ Of its promoter, and
its mission has been to destroy the repu-
tation and the business of every one who
did not support him. For months he has
proclaimed that there was no market in
Belfast for such produce as farmers had
to sell, and that the prices for what they
had to buy were higher here than else.
where. The result of his teachings was
evidenced last fall when two different
men declared in one of our grocery stores
that if any one came to Belfast with gold
dollars they could not sell them for fifty
cents. If this was not direct quotation
from the paper in question it was in ac-
cord with its teachings. As matter of
fact the price paid for potatoes in Bel
fast was five cents bushe more than
was paid on the line of railway, and it is
also fact that, possibly with one excep-
ton, every Belfast buyer and shipper of
potatoes last season lost money.
Last week this paper published, with
approval, a letter in which the writer
said: 1--WE farmers often get beat in
what we buy and sell in Belfast This
writer further said that he had decided
not to come to Belfast ''unless l am
obliged to or for some other party" and
mot to pay cent to anyone there; carry
my own horse feed and my own meals,
eat on the street, do my business and get
out just as quickly as God will let me and
not look back" The seed this editor has
been so industriously sowing in this in
stance evidently fell on fruitful soil. Not
satisfied with thus publicly carrying on
his crusade against the business interests
of this city as whole, this inciter of
strife and destroyer of prosperity has his
deluded followers call up by telephone
business and professional men to enquire
where they can sell string beans or cab
bage. One such enquirer last week gave
the thing away by adding: ''Mr. Hanson
says there is no market for anything in
Belfast One of our leading business
men said the other day that this man and
his newspaper were doing Belfast an i'm
mense deal of harm. This is coming to
be generally recognized, and it is believed
that the number of those who contribute
to the support of this vehicle of SANDER is
growing beautifully less.

REP0SE OF MANNER.

Our great-grandmothers taught
their daughters that "repose of man
ner'' was the first requisite of true
propriety. No WE'LL bred lady would
fidget in company put her hands 20
her face, toss her head or finger her
buttons. If she talked she did it in
a soft voice and without gesticula-
ton, no matter how many rings she
wore or how pretty her hands might
be. She was taught even to control
her features; that squirting and
linking the eyes and twitcbing the
mouth were not nice, and that
they could and should be intermitted
in polite society. In sitting, neither
the knees nor the feet were to be
crossed rocking was odiously vulgar,
yawuing and stretching were I'M
Spcakab.e offences and, above all,
the hands must be crossed or folded
in the Jap aud kept there.
We plead for ut least a partial re-
sumption of the old forms. Let
mothers once more teach their girls
to sit still in company, to cultivate
calmness Let our women learn to
carr ON earnest conveI satiOn in sub
dued tones and without gesticulation.
