way for her annual vacation home
from her work as bookkeeper in
New York. Capt. Colby told her to come
aboard and 1t would be all right ana
the young lady made the trip. The
captain told some of the passengers
about the young womans predicament
and quickly a sum or money was col

made to a total of $33, which he had

Maine characteristic that stands for
better moral conditions instead of
worse, for enforcement of laws re-
straiaing evil tendencies, and for en-
couragement of State and national
conservation, uplift and progress, then
they will support the Republican
.'aspirants."
II will be interesting to see how the
national Democratic paralyzers who
are coming to Maine will treat these
subjects. Can they go back on the
national platform and pretend. while

ton of Maine products and free trade

anxious to get away from current To-
cal discussion, that we will be able to
change the subject for them before

poIaful Done from Greenwood.

Here is the way in which the Green
wood correspondent of the oxford
Democrat, who seems to have pen
chant for fires, sets forth the recent
burning of camp in that section:
There is something dolefully interest
ing in seeing a building on fire. the COM
bustible part ascending in flame and
smoke, while the residue or mineral part
is descending to the ground in the form
of ashes. We have seen quite a number
going to destruction in that manner
and many more after the fire had done
it's work: or rather the locations where
the buildings stood. Ever since Camp
Christopher was burned some three
weeks ago, it had been our intention to
how far the fire went beyond. since the
month of drouth had not then ended
The first of the week the wish material
lied, and the time it required, only
about two hours, is thought to have
been well spent. On arriving at the
place it was seen at once that the ire
fiend had done his work faithfully; not
a brand of wood was left, and he had
gone into the woods several rods but
defeated at last by cold water. There
was a small ice house still standing and
not far away a smaller building, on the
wall of which someone had nailed the
sign, automobiles go slow" But what
was surprising, although there had been
so much rain since the camp burned, the
fire had gone down into the turf so deep
in one place that it was still smoking
away, as if loath to quit its possession.

For State Auditor.

republican ticket is man 10 rejoice
the heart of honest men.
In Mr.. T. +. Callahan, the State has
guarantee of integrity and business
sagacity. Here IN Lewiston where we
have summered and wintered him he
has respect of all men. Those of politi-
cal beliefs opposed TO him, will testify
to his rugged and uncompromising
honesty and his unusual ability. HI
has been good deal concerned in city
government in Lewiston since he was
young man and up to some six or
seven years ago actively. He was CITY
treasurer for many years during that
time. His knowledge of financial and
current affairs in Lewiston is complete.
His service in office was of the kind to
make one think better of human kind.
He doesn't know how to compromise
with wrong or to eondone it, A good
many years ago. we were opposed to
Mr.. Callahan politically, but we never
failed to respect him or to appreciate
him He is a tireless worker. He de
mands and he gets absolute and unde-
waiting compliance with law and duty
in office. 1t has made him some enc
mics: more friends.

if they could half the passengers, not

the adequacy of the life saving equip

the mere fact that these vessels are
not in mid -ocean. One can drown as
easily mile from shore as a thousand
