A recent issue of The Financier,
published in New York. has a very
complimentary notice of one of the
Augusta banks. 1t says of the State
Trust Co. that it stands first in the
state of Maine in it's accumulation Of
surplus and undivided profits, taking
into account it's capital stock and the
time that the bank has been doing
business. for a period of less than
four years. and only 26 banks in the
entire United States outranking it.
This is very complimentary to Au-
gusta banking institutions and to the
city.

A Record Is Broken

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 13.-Driven
by Charles Tanner of Cleveland, G.
X G. Billings black gelding Uhlan
yesterday established a new worlds
record by trottins a mile at North
Randall tract without a windshield
in 1853 "a, beating Lou billions rec
ord by two and quarter seconds
and coming within a quarter of
second of equaling the record made
by her with a windshield, October
"a, 1905, when she trOtted a mile
at Memphis in 1:58 IL. Horsemen
who held watches on the great geld
ine's attempt, say as a result of yes
tesday's performance. that with
windshield he will be able to better
the mares mark.
The big crowd gathered at North
Randall expecting 20 see Uhlan driv-
en- to a wagon, but was all the more
enthusiastic when the announce
ment was made that he would try
for the worlds record to a sulky
without windshield.
Tanner drove his horse the first
quarter in 20 "a; the half was reach
ed in SO fiat. The crowd, seeing a
record about to fall. let out a great
cheer, which changed to deep silence
when the time for the three-quarter
was hung up, showing that it had
taken the gelding 80 "a seconds tc
negotiate the third quarter. He did
the last quarter in 20 seconds fiat.
When the figures were announced
driver and horse were given an
ovation.

Primitive School Books.

The hornbook invented in 1850
and used considerable up to the
close of the eighteenth century, was
the usual textbook of the elementary
school, A thin slab of hard wood
was covered with parchment on
which was printed the capital and
small letters, numerals, and some
elementary syllables and words
over this a thin sheet of transpar-
eat cows horn was placed and
firmly bound so that no moisture
could penetrate. To this the Bible,
and the sampler on which little
girls painfully stitched the letters of
the alphabet, some Cody saying"
and a border of herring stitch" or
some conventional pattern of impos-
sible flowers and foliage, and the
legend, Mary Smith, her Sampler"
or the like were about all that the
children used up to the beginning
of the eighteenth century. The A, B,
c, book, Book of Manners and the
Assembly's Shorter Catechism came
into use soon after, and a spelling
book was printed in America in
1876. The England Primer, one of
the most popular as well as the
most curious textbooks of its time,
was published somewhere about
1687-1690, had an enormous cir
culation and use in America and
was sold extensively within the
memory of living men. 1t was the
very embodiment of that combina-
ton of religious sentiment, with
secular learning, which our fathers
2 steadfastly advocated, and their
! descendants have generously aban-
! doned in our public schools, only to
S have them stigmatized as Goddess"
: by those for whose benefits the Bible
n and religious exercises were ex
{ cluded. Charles Winslow Hall, in
d School Teaching as a Trade" in the

The following from the Chilli
cothe Constitution shows how the
Aldrich tariff law is working in Liv-
ingston county:
The closing down of the Chilli
cothe overall factory because of the
increased cost of material caused
by the Payne-Aldrich tariff should
open the eyes of the people of this
vicinity to the directly injurious eff
feet of the high tariff system. When
the passage of a tariff bill puts out
of employment a hundred men and
women of this community it is
time to make a protest. The most
effective protest such measure is
the ballot. A measure which in
creases tariff schedules to such al
extent is not protective tariff. Il
is a destructive tariff to the con
suner and laborer. 1t is a graf
for the trusts which need no pro
lection. The Republicans and Dem
Ocrats alike we're cut loose from
their wages by the high tariff. The
Republican and Democrat shoulC
Join forces at the ballot box anC

My Neiehbor and l.


"Oh, pity my neighbor over the
way,
Who has nothing to do but yawn
all day:
No little hands to tangle her hair,
No little nuisance" to vex her with
care,
No little torment" to weary and
tease,
Nothing to do but consult her own
ease.
Poor, rich, neighbor, am sorry for
you
Sorry because you have nothing
to do;
Sorry. because as the days 60 by
You are restless and weary, you
know not why;
And once in a while l Ecan see the
trace
Of many tear on your proud fair
face.
You see I am only laborer's wife
Doing my part in the treadmill of
life;
Joe, my husband, is off all day,
Fighting the giants of want away;
Baby and l are busy too.
But we've plenty of time to be sor-
ry for you.
Baby's a nuisance. a plague and a
joy.
But then, you see, he's my OWL
sweet boy;
l have no time for a groan or a sigh
No time to idle as the days 60 by
My arms are full as the days arr
long,
Full as my heart with his happ!
song.
Poor, rich, neiehbor over the way,
Watching my baby and me at play
What of your wealth If your hear
is bare?'
'Tis to love and be teVed that max
life fair,
! Oh, neighbor mine, Z can tell yo
true,
} Indeed I'd rather be l than you.

from exhibitions. Those using aeor-
planes that involve the patents
given to the Wrights must pay a
percentage of what they receive to
the Wrights, or the Wright compa-
ny. Other aviators have been bond
ed to pay damages of the Wright
patents are held good in the court.
Others have been enjoined by the
courts and prevented from flying at
all. If it had not been for these
injunctions and these bonds, it is
probable that the contests from
New York to Chicago and to St.
Louis would have been held, and
America would lead the world in
aviation"
But Mr.. Greene does more than
ably discuss the subject he offers
a solution of the difficulty so prac-
teal and so eminently fair to the
Wrights and all others that Human
Life invites the cooperation Of
every patriotic American in max
ing it possible. This is a new and
most important phase of converse
tion-the conversation of the right
of every student of aeronautics tC
exercise his inventive genius in
this new field unhampered by the
chilling blight of monopoly.
