RAISE THE MAINE.

Twelve years ago this country was
electrified by the announcement that
the Maine had been blown up in
the harbor of Havana. That was the
beginning Of a series Of developments
destined to change the future history
OF the United States. 1t was charged
and it has been accepted as true that
the Maine was blownup at her moor
ing by Spaniards. There is possibly
one way in which such charge can
be proved or disapproved, and that
is by examining the hull of the ship.
For a dozen years the wreck has lain
on the bottom of Havana harbor and
1t constitutes today disgrace to the
United States. Certainly there is no
reason why it should not be raised
nor why it should not be taken to
the United States, If for nothing
else than as memento of the death
a hundred heroes who wore the
uniforms of the United States.
Steps are being taken at the pres
emit time in congress, under the pres
sure which the President is able to
exert, to have the wreck raised and
removed from the harbor Of Havana
Il is to be hoped, for the honor of
the Nation, that such a bill will go
through, and such an act will be COM
pleted. There are those who have
never been in sympathy with lingo.

we acted hastily at the beginning OF

will not hurt anyone, nor will 1t hurt
the Nation, even II it proved that
sentiment and jingoism were help
full causes for promoting the war.

About 250.00 plural votes were cast
In the recent British elections. AS the
great martority of those votes were
cast for the conservative party it is
estimated that they enabled that par
ty to win about thirty seats, which
but for those votes, would have been
carried by the liberals. One enthus-
ias,fc voter having votes in different
constituent es managed to vote in six
different constituencies In one day.

The Guggenheims.

Guggenheim? Where have we heard
that name before? Oh, yes-pretty
rearly everywhere since we think Of
it. The Guggenheims have become al
most ubiquitous in the past few years
They have overrun the United States,
Mexico, Canada and Alaska and lat
terly have delved into the depths Of
South Africa. The seven Sutherland
sisters gained much notoriety because
Of their hair and how they got it.
The seven Guggenheim brothers are
noted because Of their gold and how
they got it, The Sutherland sisters
are not sisters, however, while the
Guggenheim brothers are really bro
Tiers, says Robert Donnell in the
Washington Herald.
Just now the Guggenheims are a
little more in tine public eye than
usual because they, or rather, one Of

stand for them individually and col

A JAPANESE-GREEK FABLE.

A JapaneSe-American version of an
ancient Greek myth is indeed a piece
of literature. In some correspondence
of Lafcadio Hearn, published recently
in the Atlantic Monthly, there is quoted
such a composition, warranted to be
genuine. 1t was written by a native Of
Japan in an examination paper.
Tithonus was a youth very hand
some and polite.
Aurora was the rosy-fingered God.
dess of the Dawn-a very fine young
lady with rosy fingers.
She was used to get up in the earlier
morning every day, M she vas very
studious.
She follen in love to T%ithonus. and
by her chariot taxed him up to the
sky.
One day she ask him that-"Sir. l
can give you all thing O want Then
he ask to her that-"Please give me
the eternal life"
Hoping to enjoy the eternal life of
her husband, Aurora ask to Zeus, Faith
er of all the Gods:
And soon the eternal life was bestow
On Tithonus.
But Aurora forget to request for the
eternal youth; therefore Tithonus have
the only eternal life.
Gods AVE the e~ternality Of youth as
we'll as life.
Tithonus came to become thirty or
fourty years Of age.
He became every day more old.
He become TOTALLY old.
And felt the miseration Of this life
To the last desire he begged the God
to make him a ,glasshopper and to hol
on the ground.
So for pity the God changed him into
a glasshopper, which could hop about
our world.
And he is hop about the ground ever
now, and bears the dry looking.
So from a man becomed the husband
Of the Goddess. and then to be changed
into a vile worm!
This should teach us well to ask
lever the inconsistent things.

That Club Supper


When Mrs. Myron futile spoke up
Club and opened her house for the an
nual supper which that leading WON
ans club of Three Pines was in the
habit Of giving its husbands and some
special outside guests Mrs. Lawyer
White, who was the president, cough
ed a little wildly to gain time.
Always the club supper previously
had been held at the spacious resi-
dence Of the Springers, who had three
full sets Of china. This season Mrs.
Springer was away, but it had been
rather understood that Mrs. DR..
Sprong would offer to he hostess. Mrs.
futile had spoken SO quickly when the
question was put that every Il knew
she must have planned it long ahead.
And everybody, in h midst OF her
dismay, wondered why.
In the first place, Hetty Tuttle was
no h~ousekeeper. She was a large. COM
placent woman, who did not vince
when her small son Tommy scratched
the mahogany piano with her en-
broidery scissors and who was per
fectly happy if the house was undust-
ed and the broom was standing in
the front hallway when callers ar
rived. Her benighted husband still
adored her after twenty-five years OF
u~nderdone steaks and nc place for any
thing and everything always out Of its
place. The way Myron futile let him
self be walked over was a scandal.
Hetty futile disliked work in any
form, SO nobody could imagine why
she had put herself in the way of TAX
ing on so much. Still, Mrs. Lawyer
White rather helplessly accepted the
offer from this dubious source and
then brightly moved that a chairman
be appointed to oversee the supper and

The world is full of people who
know a great deal but cannot use their
knowledge. They are weighted down
with unavailable facts and theories,
says Orison SWEET Marsden in Sue
cess Magazine. You have often met
people who seem to know much. who
are so encyclopedia in their greedy alb
sorptIon of facts, that their general
knowledge Is like an enormous pack
on a soldiers back, which exhausts
his vitality and impedes his march.
1t makes them heavy of foot and clum-
sy in everything they do. They i'm
press you as not being large enough
to swing their loads and carry them
with ease. They are like children
Juggling away at great pieces of furni-
ture which they can scarcely lift.
1t is not the ability, the education,
the knowledge that one has that makes
the difference between men. The mere
possession. of knowledge is not always
the possession Of power; knowledge
which has not been digested and as
simulated and become a part Of your
self, knowledge which cannot swing
into line in an emergency, is OF little
use, and will not ave you at a critical
moment.
To be effective, a mans education
must become a part of himself, as he
goes along. All of it must be worked
up into power. A little practical edu-
cation that has become a part of ones
being and Is always available will ac-
complish more in the world than
knowledge far more extensive that
cannot be utilized.

Not an Inch of Healthy skin LET

Not an Inch of Healthy Skin Left.
My little son, a boy Of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc.
tors prescribed for him. but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. A.
the time 1 was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that I had to cut
his hair OF and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one mas OF
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin off with them, and
the scream from the poor child were
heartbreaking. I began to think that
he would never get well, but after the
second application Of Cuticura Oint-
ment I began to see signs of improve
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled on twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now 1 can say that he Is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day. twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

AS A TEXT,

Preacher Thinks He Can't "Come
Back and Point. Il Moral.
Can Jeffries Come Back?" was the
title Of a sermon preached by the Rev.
John Hamilton Timbrell in the Cedar
Cliff Methodist Episcopal church, says
the New York Sun. The preacher took
his text from the Book of Judges, and
after describing as pathetic and hui
initiating the downfall of Samson, he
said it pointed a moral to the case Of
Jeffries, Can the old-time champion
come back?" the preacher asked, and
then he said:
This question, so far as its sporting
phase is concerned, may have little or
no interest to VI saw as it touches
a great fundamental principle hat is
of the most profound interest to all
thinking men, n one which may lead
many of them to read what they other
wise would not, the sporting pages of
the sporting papers. to see If Jeffries
can come back.
What Is the point in this case?
Jeffries won the belt and much lucre,
and then stepped out of the ring to
lave a good time and enjoy himself,
and for five years, like Samson, with
his head in the lap of Delilah, Jeffries
has slept with his head in the lap of a
luxurious and bibulous life. While
he has slept a big black gorilla has
come into the ring M has put the
world of sport into about the same
condition that ancient Israel was in
when Goliah of Gath was staggering
about and Dragging Of what he could
do in the presence Of the crowd that
was sore afraid to tackle him. And
the pugilistic crowd is looking the
world over to find some champion who
can stand up to the gorilla INC down
him n take the belt, which means
about the same thing to these modern
heather as the wreath of laurel meant
to the ancient heather in the CORN
THAN games. And with desperation in
their glance they turn to Jeffries with
| this, question, which means far more
than a laurel wreath to them: Can
Jeffries come back"
"a noted athletic trainer has given
