The first English settlers of the
New World sailed up the river
which they called James, with a
full sail under a stirring breeze.
1t was May 13, 1907, when the
little party landed on a fair site,
and all that day the small boats
piled between the land and the
ship with boxes and bales.
They were worthless lot,
idlers and gentlemen" who soon
refused to do honest work and
went on chase for gold. But
among them was one man of ster-
ling qualities, Capt. John Smith,
hero and veteran of many wars,
writer, explorer and adventurer.
Smith could not long endure the
quarrels of the settlement and set
out upon an exploring expedition.
In a small boat with two COM
panions he explored more than
5000 miles of coast line and in
terror country.
But one day he was surprised
by party of Indians, made a
prisoner, and taken to Powhatan,
cnlef OF the tribe.
The Indian warriors. 200 strong,
in gay feathers and paint lined the
walls of a natural arbor. In the
center sat Powhatan with his
daughter, Matoa or Pocahontas
Behind the braves stood the
squaws with their necks painted
red.
An Indian woman gave Smith a
dish of water in which to wash his
face and hands; another brought
feathers on which to dry them. A
feast followed, and a conference N
which brave Capt. Smith was
doomed to die.
With his hands tied, Smith
watched the warriors bring il
huge stones ON which he wa,
commanded to place his head. A.
he did SO, two braves raised spiked
club to beat out his brains.
! Pocahontas from the first haC
pleaded with her father to spare
the explorers life, but the chief re.
NAMED firm. With a bound she
sprang to her feet and laid her
beautiful head on Smiths head.
/
Then you must kill me, too, -
she cried. The warriors with the
appraised clubs hesitated while
Powhatan gave the word that
spared Smiths life.
From that time on Pocahontas
became a friend of the settlers,
warned them when an Indian up
rising was planned, and often
gave them provisions.
But after Smith had gone back
to England the other settlers turn
ed against the Indian girl and
made her a prisoner. This proved
to be blessing in disguise, for
she and John Rolfe, a young Eng
lishman. came to love each other
and their marriage was celebrated
while the white men and Indians
vowed to be friends.

But though the original glory of
the building has been much dim

of the most impressive of eccles-

dome. 1870 feet high and 10S feet

colonnadcs of pillars of green mar

notable features of the building.

Constantine in the year $50. Be
ing modest emperor, as most en-
perors are, he naturally named the
place after himself. For a long
time Constantinople was the cen
ter of power and learning.
1t was the center of the "ortho-
dox"' branch of the Catholic church
as opposed to Rome, and when the
Catholic church was dfsreputed In
1864, 1t became the headquarters
of the eastern branch of the church
Finally came the Turks, and the
learning of Constantinople shifted
to western Europe. The scholars
fled and took with them the best

the worst of us-have a deep we'll of love
in our hearts for that which the baby en-
bodies-purity-and our impulse is to ex-
press our worship by a kiss.
And We rock the baby until his little
stomach rebels in nausea
We dance him on our knees until his
little brain is added.
We pin him into tight bands and them
wonder why he cries.
We put ntsy "pacifier'' into his
sweet little mouth to keep him still, when

Then he has collie, and adenoids later
We raise him ON cows milk or baby

Just because we're crazy about baby, of

applause, was introduced By Mrs A. C.
Pepper.
In the opening part of her address Mrs.
Stevens dealt chiefly with the great sor-
row caused In the thousands of homes by
strong drink, giving vivid illustrations
of the conditions found in other states
which have the license system. She men,
toned the regulations of the liquor traf-
fic in those states and what the require
ments of the law were. and how the law
was broken daily by the saloonkeepers.
There was, and is. nothing but fiilacy
and wickedness Speaking of the chg of
Chicago, she stated that on Sun lay
there were 1000 legalized saloons break az
the law ana selling on Sunday. Besia Is
this there were 300 illegal barrooms d.
ing business
Said Mrs. Stevens: IF the saloonkeep.
er is invited to come into Maine and this
city on Sept. IL, where will you put the
saloon? There win be many of them and
will you put it next to your home, next to
your church. next TO your schoolhouses
or business places? Where do you want
it? The brewers and distllers in other
states have secured the best places on
the street and they will do the same thing
here.
I'm turn, how does the licensed sa-
loon keeper get his money with which
to pay for his license, support hts
family and do business, il he does
not get it from the people. The peo-
Pile are deprived from the luxuries Of
life. which they turn over In money to
the saloon keeper
THE license advocates are using
every method with which to dehauch
the fair name of Maine. They are
making colitemptible statements that
the sehoolhouses are the poorest In
the country; that the churches are
not thriving: that business is low.
and that grass is growing up in the
streets but let me tell you that
Maine is the fairest state in the
Union; that the business ID good;
that the valuation of property 40
greater than that of license state,
and that tourists who leave a million
of dollars in this State annually can
testify as 10 the grass growing in the
streets. The presses of the STATE.
which are advocating license, and ore
paid by the outside liquor interests,
are also debauehing the fair name OF
the State when they print and pub
lish cartoons showing conditions which
are false. No state has a finer school
system than ours and "a per cent. Of
the farmers in the State own their
homes.
"fhe license advocates stateg in
their journals that We have no right
to have speakers from out of the State
come in and speak, but yet over $780,,
600 has been sent to this State by
the liquor interest to help overthrow
prohibition and there are also over. 100
