Here's a prose poem by Ashby the
Parkhurst man:
How is this for Aroostook in Jan
uary' | called at neighbors one day
last week The door was open and l
walked in; a babe was asleep IL a
cradle and big cat was upon the
table helping himself to what was left
from breakfast; the rest of the family
and the fire We're out. l went to the
barn and found two children at play
in a mud puddle up to their ankles;
two hogs We're lying summing them
selves in the yard; the lady of the
house sat on a half buShel chewing
gum and milking a COW that was
chewing her cud; the dog was bark
ing at a squirrel on the barn and the
girls were watching a rooster hght;
hall a dozen hens We're drinking from
a pail of milk and the man of the
house sat on the fence smoking; some
boys Juggling snow in q basket to
patch up a badly wilted snow man and
a little girl was riding calf around
the yard.
New Sweden in Aroostook county is
planning on a big celebration this
summer commemorative of the found
ing of that town 40 years ago. And
truly the advancement and progress
made by New Sweden has been as
marked and great as any township in
the State-and peopled by a race noted
for their thrift. frugality, honesty and
enterprise.

smartest cid men. Mr.. Beal was born
in Frankfort, and, except for three
or four years at sea, all his lie mas
been spent there. The year of his
birth was d remarkable one. lie
doesn't remember much about it, but
his mother used to tell him how, on
June 6 of that year-1S16-the ground
was covered with snow, and above the
white mantle the pea-vines in the gar
den stood up several inches. On Sept.
6 of the same year, Just three months
from this late spring snow, the first
SNOW of winter came and Stald on all
winter. Mr.. Beal has been hard
worker all his life. he has used tobacco
since he was Is years of age, and he
argues from this that neither hard
work nor tobacco kills. He was a ship
carpenter by trade, with house-carpen-
tering, mason work and odd jobs to fill
in. He has enjoyed remarkably good
health all his life-$3, he says, would
pay for all the medicine he ever used.
His eyesisht has practically failed
him now, but with this exception his
health and faculties are excellent. He
has seven children and makes his
home with one son. He was recently
presented with The gOld-headed cane
given by a Boston newspaper to the
oldest male resident of the town At
the presentation he made a speech,
and says he might have danced a jig
if he hadn't thought it beneath the dig
nifty of one of his years.

now touring old Mexico, with a
party.
Yesterday. when we were COM

country with nothing but sage
brush and cactus, and we were
told were mountain lions anil II
gers, we stopped al little sta
ton. where some OF the party
go: ott; to take snap shots AT the

They did not get many pictures

out and stopped them. saying.
81 will not have my people pho
tographed. We are poor. can
hardly got enough TO eat, and
can buy no clothes. for nothing
can be raisdl here, and we who
earn little must share with
those less fortunate, for there are
no agencies to care for the poor,
as YOU have in the states. But
we will not have you send back
pictures OF our misery to the
states.
See here" he continued draw

ed little children, Are three or

One Of the little ones was only
two wears old, and his little max
ed bd'y was fat and sleek and
brown. His foster father tried TO
keep him back ont OF sight, but
the dear little man wanted to
see the cars. and the strange
locking people in them. and he
kept dodging out every time he
got a chance.
We stepped there quite a
while watching the Mexican boys
drawing water IN big buckets to
water cattle. and when the
buckets were full. they swung
them on a piece OF wood like a
woke anil carried them on their
shoulders.
You can have no idea OF the
poverty of these people. They
would think they were rich. ii
they had one-tenth OF what YOU

Shall we rest satisfied with SO
small a part of our population in
the 5. S.? | am firmly convinced
that if we do the work OF House
to House Visitation thoroughly
for the successive wears we shall
have much larger enrolment at
the end Of that time than now.
But unless we go out and COM
pei them to come in we shall find
very little increase in member
ship. Further, the new standard
set up by the Association requires
among other things an increased
enrolment of 10 per cent. That
would mean for Marshall county
only about 500 new persons in
S. S. and this is the only point in
which we are likely to fail to
reach the new standard. While
we ought not to seek to reacl,
standards for the standards sake
which is missionary in character,
shall we not determine to press
the work of the Visitation depart

attain to the new standard for the
