REVIVAL OF RlCKRACk.

In the general revival Of things that are
old it is not surprising to see smart rrocks
adorned with the rickrack trimming made
with zigzag cotton braid which school
girls Of a generation or so ago used TO
turn out in endless quantities. Since heavy
laces are fashionable, the braid CHOSEN
now is usually wide and heavy enough so
that II can appropriately be worked up
with the coarsest Of thread. Insertions OF
this trimming have been used on an elao-
crate white linen gown which has for It's
other trimmings designs done IN soutache
and a large collar OF toile de 1ony.

Speak the Good Word.

1t isn't the thinking how grateful we are
For the kindness of friends come to bless
our sorrow or loss
Meath the weight of the cross,
1t is telling our gratefulness.
1t isn't the love that they have in theil
heart
And neglect or forget to reveal,
That brightens the lives
OF husbands and wives
1t is telling the love that they feel.
1t isn't the thinking of good to mankind
That comes a S cooling drink
To the fam shing ones
OF earth's daughters and sons;
1t is telling the good that we think.
IT isn't the music, asleep in the strings
OF the lutte. that entrances the ear,
And brings to the breast
The spirit of rest.
1t is only the music we hear.
1t isn't the lilies we hide from the world
Nor the roses we keep as our own,
That are strewn at our feet
BY the angels We meet
On our way to the great white throne.
1t isn't the silence of hope unexpressed
That heartens and strengthens the weak
To triumph through strife
For the great things of life
It's the words of good cheer that we
speak.

Our Letter Box
Protest of a Democrat.

Editor Kennebee Journal:
| don't know as you will care to pub
lish this letter, and If you do | viii
ask you not to use my name; that IS,
not at present. | am a Democrat
and voted the straight ticket last fall,
but | assure you (and l have publicly
said soC that l should not have done
so had | expected Congressman Bur
leigh would be defeated
Now why / am writing this letter, is
to voice protest and general disgust
at the oft repeated serving up by our
kennebec Democratic organ Of its al
ways in stock bucket of mud for Gov
ernor Burleigh. The only thing that
1t has ever been able to say against
the Third District Congressman is that
he is not a public speaker.
Now the people of the Third Dis
trict knew when they sent him to
Congress that Governor Bureighs
strength did not lie in blowing off
bombastic blasts of political steam.
In various state offices, he had shown
that his usefulness lay in accomplish
ments rather than in blowing about
what he had done or was going to do.
we q say it that way for | always
voted for him until last falD sent him
TO congress and he made good. No
man of New England has ever done
more for his constituency than Con-
gresham Burleigh. | am told by
those in whom | have confidence that
Tor years Congressman Burleigh has
stood high in the councils of the party.
and his level-headed. business grasp
of a "a h i
the leaders of the nation, regardless of
party.
Anyway we nave always known that
Congressman Burleigh stood for the
best interests of his constituents and
no man ever had to ask him twice in
order to find out where he stood In
this fight against reciprocity, he has
stood by us to the last. in spite of his
we'll known liking and admiration for
the President As understand 1t
from the Kennebec journal. Governor
Burleigh believed it his duty and his
right to disagree with the President
on this great question. Are there not
thousands in Maine who have admired
and stood loyal to Taft on every other
question who have disagreed with him
IN this? | believe so and / know that
many of my neighbors and friends of
both parties agree with me-
The main object of this letter is to
express the general disapproval OF
continued attacks upon Governor Bur
leigh as though it were a disgrace to
him or to his constituents that he
never used up public time by patting
himself or his people on the back If
any newspaper editor thinks that the
people of Maine think any the less
of Governor Burlejgh because he never
made any pretensiGn as, a pubic speak
err such editor should have another
think coming to him.
These periodical attacks make no
enemies for Governor Burleigh, and
they make no friends for the sheet
that gives them publication.
Yours,
Fairfield, Me, April 26.
