The next part is of the velvet and on it is wrought pattern formed of branches of oak leaves and acorns held altogether alternately by the crosses and feur-de-lis of the inn perial crown. This border Is so hnely worked as to have the appearance or being a golden jewel; the leaves are of bullion gold, the stems of Chinese. the acorns of thick bullion, their cups of gold beads sewed closely together, and the fieur-de-lis and crosses of many diff ferent sorts of gold, the latter set off with jewels of gold sea sd5 afa u0li

At the end of the train is very rich piece of embroidery yard and half in length, filling up the whole sweep of the train This is meant to represent the growth of the British kingdom, by means of vigorous rose tree ascending through the crown of the ancient kings of England and spreading upward into stu6ng branches bearing double flowers, the center portion being of gold and the inner of silver petals and leaves armed with stout thorns.

 The great stems of this piece are em- brodered in plate gold, Chinese and oth- CT kinds, With the thorns of a very sperkling gold thread; the leaves of the rose and the shamrock are of purl, the leaves of the thistle of bullion with great veins of plate, and it's flowers are very beautifully shaded with purple silk.

Enthusiasm, Ev,e,Ir.v,,where. :,

Democrats everywhere are uniting
and enthusiastic. The last campaign
demonstrated what can be done
through organization and united ef-
fort. The progressive young men OF
the country are taking an active part
in politics and the league is doing all
1t can to encourage them to do SO. In
speaking Of the Maine elections re-
Gently, Gov. Frederick w. Plaisted
said: f
The young men OF Maine woke up,
Just as they are waking up all over
the country.
THE young men OF Maine support
ed us, voted for us and put us in
power. 1t was their campaign, their
election. and they won it. They can't
be delivered. They won't be slaves
to partisanship as the older genera
ton has been. They refuse to be
herded submissively into the Repub-
lican pasture because their fathers
have always stayed there. Did it look
like miracle to you folks outside
when we Democrats carried Maine?
Well. with Names young men in their
present temper that miracle Is apt to
be repeated pretty frequently. The
Republican solidity OF this state is
gone. Maine is progressive and she
will continue to be progressive and
independent"

ROB BED OF THEIR HoNoRs
Heroes Who Have Been lnsuited and
Humlllated Because They
Were Democrats.

Rear Admiral Schley. now dead and
greatly honored was at the height
of his very distinguished career dis
honored as few Americans have been.
Those in the military and naval serv-
Ice who resented the injustice done
him, like Gen. Miles and Admiral
Dewey. were also atfronted to their
faces and in many ways made to feel
the insolence of office.
All OF these men we're Democrats. It
was their misfortune that after their
brilliant public service was practically
closed there came to the presidency by
accident colonel of cowboy regt'
ment who proceeded to appropriate to
himself and his associates most OF the
glories of little war In which the IA.
vored cowboys and their colonel act
ually played an Insignificant part. To
make heroes of Wood and Roosevelt
it became necessary to destroy or to
belittle Schley, Miles and Dewey.
In all the history Of the presidency
there is no record Of more shameful
proceeding than that in which Theo-
dore Roosevelt. to bolster up the false
glamour Of his own trifling perform
ances as soldier, sought with the aid
Of his mighty office to convict Schley
Of treason and cowardice. He did not
do this in manly fashion. He did It by
insinuation and inuendo. coupled with
characteristic buster. When Miles
and Dewey protested he heaped hui

men to hold out against the desire OF
hundreds, when the hunger of the man
hunt Is in the veins of the hundreds.
Their combined will is powerful In
fluence that pulls them off their feet
and out Of themselves.
La Bon, q FTenchman, has made the
most careful study Of the mob, how
1t forms and what impulses sway it..
He calls his work on the subject" The
Crowd" It is colby analytical
record OF the things that mobs do
and why they do them. He finds that
under the stress of excitement the
plain, sober man sheds his veneer OF
civilization and becomes a beast full
of blood hunger. He wants to kill.
When he wants to wreak vengeance
It must be full Of atrocities and hor-
rors. The victim is usually battered
and mutilated by the clubs, the hands
or the feet OF the mobs.
The good citizen who was selling
calico over counter few hours be-
fore becomes savage. The profess
sional man who loves books and scien-
tif1c discussion feels something stir

there when his forefathers executed
justice on offenders with their own
hands. For an hour or day the
spell is on him. He comes out of this
condition as though he were coming

them. While moving around the cab
In he suddenly made leap for a rifle,
lishot one of the officers dead and NOR
Italy wounded the other. A bullet
stuck him in the thigh during the
firing.
The wounded criminal fed from the
cabin and, favored by the darkness,
made his way across creek bottom
and hid in the timber. Posses were
formed to hunt him down. Most OF
the members were not particularly en-
ragged at the crime. During the whole
OF the days hunt, the beating of the
timber and the searching of the hills
was looked upon as form Of sport
When night came the temper Of the
hunters changed. They had been
thinking Of the same thing all day
long. They began to mutter among
themselves.
Word came back that the wounded
desperate had been found. Instinct
lively the horsemen began gathering
themselves in squardons that set on
on a gallop toward the place where he
was captured. The sound Of hoofs
warned the sheriff who had taken
charge of the prisoner. BY taking a
short cut through the woods he man
aged to escape the now thoroughly
aroused mob that had been joking and
laughing an hour before.
One shout had swerved the fancy Of
the mob. A tall, excitable farmer
Strengthened up in his saddle when he

shouted: Come on, boys, let's go

road at the gallop as he called. and
