BLUE SCHOONER A HooDoo.
An Old Sea Captain Explains the
T@ThicIx'' Weather.

Summer fogs are common, much too
common, on the coast of Maine, and
of all New England, but it is seldom
that autumn brings such protracted'
stretch of chick weather as has pre-
vailed this year.
Meteorological experts have plenty
of explanations of and reasons for
hcsu spells of weather" as the down
east sailors have experienced, but it
remained for an old sea captain to
divulge the real reason. According to
this ancient mariner, the whole trou-
BILE has been caused by blue painted
schooner, the Donna I. Briggs. There
is no mystery or confusing scientific
solely and simply from the foolishness
or foolhardiness of the owners or mas
ter of the Donna T. Briggs in having
that good schooner painted blue. In
the sign-book of the sailor any shade
of blue is a hoodoo; little blue paint
is bad enough, but whole suit of it is
enough to spoil the pleasantest wealth
er and the brightest of prospects.
The blue schooner put into Portland
and anchored among scores of other
vessels, to wait for the long easterly
to blow itself out and for a brisk
Northwestern to drive the fog away
to Cape Sable. Her coming caused
great uneasiness among the masters
and crews of the other vessels, who
declared that from the minute she
came to anchor the fog thickened and
the easterIy gathered strength; got it's
second wind,' so to speak. Said the
old salt who first discovered the hoo
doc color:
There's the first blue schooner that
1 ever see in here to Portland. That's
what's making of this weather. and

Colonel Bryan made four speeches
in Fargo The Nebraskan addressed
three gatherings previous to the big
Democratic meeting at the opera
house.
Extolling Governor Burke of North
Dakota and criticizing President TAFT
for an alleged misquotation of Abra-
ham Lincoln, Mr.. Bryan opened his
address at the meeting of the state
conference of the northwest delegates.
He said Mr.. Taft has been so busy fol-
lowing out the Roosevelt policies that
he had not had time to think about
Lincoln.
mr. Taft's whole environment has
been that of the dollar" said Mr..
Bryan, land he has never had any
real knowledge of men,"
In the afternoon Mr.. Bryan adj
dressed meeting of 1000 women at
the opera house, his subject being
Fundamentals"
At one of the meetings Governor
Burke denounced the candidacy OF Mr..
Roosevelt saying:
LAS soon as Roosevelt saw how
great was the movement he rushed
in, in an effort to capture the per-
simmon which Senator LaFollette had
placed within reach. What has Theo-
dore Roosevelt done that should cause
him to look upon himself as the savior
of this nation? BY his action in COM
ing out for the presidency he has as
much as said that Taft was not fit for
the place, but he has also said that
if Taft was the nominee he would be
for Taft showing plainly that he was
not sincere in his wish for the great
good of all the people"

good luck. Mother time a capn was

Here, you-leave that there blue
box on the wharf or get back there

HE FAVORS PRIMARIES
Mckinley Says Wherever They Can
Be Held Legally.

Washington, March S.-Represen-
tative Mckinley, director of President
Taft's campaign for denomination, has
given his answer to Senator Dixon's
"challenge'' that the candidates. of
President Taft and Colonel Roosevelt
be submitted to the test of presiden-
tial primaries. Senator Dixon is
chairman of the Roosevelt executive
committee.
Director Mckinley says he is in ia
vor of selecting delegates to the ma
tiona1 convention by the primary sys-
tenn wherever primaries are legally
provided, fairly conducted and sur
rounded by the restrictions of law,
and points out that all but seven
states have made provisions for pri-
maries or conventions. The letter
follows:
81 have your favor of the sixth
instant. You have not made your
position clear and / am still at a loss
to know whence you derive your
authority, but L am willing to waive
that point.
II am in absolute accord with the
selection of the delegates to the ma
tional convention by the primary sys-
tenn wherever primaries are or may
be legally provided, fairly conducted
and surrounded by the restrictions of
the law.
you we'll know that all but seven
states of the union have already made
provision for holding primaries or
conventions. In New York, for ex-
ample, the state fixes the date for
the primaries; This is also true in
New Jersey, Maryland, Ohio, Illinois,
Wisconsin, North and South Dakota,
Nebraska, Oregon, California-pos-
sibly other states. You and 1 can
not set aside precedents or the calls
already issued.
THE question of selecting repre-
sentatives of the party belongs prima-
rily to the several states and congress
sional districts, and if the party is to
Iegislate ii should be in its national
convention. The party's form of gov
eminent should be the creation of law
and custom and not of caprice. I do
not favor changes in the rules of the
game while the game is in progress
To propose the recall of conventions
in the midst of a campaign is con-
trarv to the dictates of fair play"

How to Remove a
Poor Complexion
(From London Fashions.)

Cosmetics can never really help a
poor complexion; often they are posi-
lively harmful. The sensible thing is
to actually remove the thin veil of
sitting, half dead scarf skin and give
the fresh. vigorous, beautiful young
skin underneath a chance to show
itself and to breathe
This is best done by merely apply
ing mercolized wax at night, like cold
cream, washing it off in the morning.
The wax can be obtained from any
well stocked druggist. 1t absorbs the
disfiguring cuticle gradually, harmless
ly, leaving a brilliant natural complex
ion. OF course this also takes with it
all such blemishes as red blotches,
moth patches, liver spots, blackheads,
pimples, etc. AS freckIe remover
and general complexion beautifier this
old-fashiOned remedy is unequaled.

The demonstration in the house was
