As Children Do.

Sometimes, when night is creeping down
And all the world about is dim,
And he must go to Sleepytown,
You lie down at the side of him,
And whisper soothing little things
In childish words, such as you frame
To tell the sound of beetle wings
And how the FREELY gets its flame.
And soon the world grows darker yet
And TO the little fellows eyes
Strange, hidden dangers now beset
The shadow places in the skies,
But you speak low and comforting
And tell him none of them are there.
That near him is not anything
But what is kind and good and fair.
Then trembling come his little hands
out through the dark and find youi
face,
AS though by touch he understands
That he is in the safest place;
And so with fingers on your cheek
He signs eontentedly to sleep
And you-you may not even speak,
So very very still you keep
Some time you, as little child,
Shall fare into an unknown night
And shall yearn for the stars that smiled
With all their soothing, droWsy light
And you. as little children do,
May grope out through the darks OF
space
And sigh in peace to sleep. when you
AT last have touched your Father 2

Brief in detail but pathetic in its
entirety is the tale of the Kennebunk-
port COW which swallowed stick of
dynamite, probably having mistaken
1t for new kind of vegetable. Ac-
cording to the Biddeford Record, G. b.
Cheney, who lives on the Mountain
road, so called, had been blasting
stumps on his land, using dynamite for
The purpose, and at the close of the
days work he hid a. stick of the ex-
plosive under stump. The next
morning the dynamite was missing,
likewise one of his best cows, and la
ter. when the lifeless remains were
discovered, post norton revealed
the presence of the dynamite in one of
her stomachs. The stuff had not ex-
ploded but its effects as an elimina-
tor proved equally successful.

Chicago Post.
gentleman from a Florida winter
resort, who is passing the summer
months along the New England coast,
is much impressed by the Maine fog,
and more so by some of the stories
which he has heard concerning it. He
was a visitor at enc of the Boothbay
haroor resorts the other day, and
noticing a fog bank lying along the
southeastern horizon, said that it re-
minded him of a recent trip TO Rock
land as the guest of a Boston friend
who owns a cottage at the former
place. They must have some pretty
heavy fog down there" he remarked,
for when, the morning after my ar
rival. we went out on the piazza and
found the fog so thick that you could
not see objects so feet away. | said
that the fog was pretty thick, my
friend assured me that the fog was
light, that morning, compared with
what they had, sometimes, and then
he went on to say that earlier in the
season, when he had his cottage shin
gled, the fog was SO thick. one day,
bled right off the edge of the roof into
the fog for a distance of more than
two feet, and only found out what
they were doing when, along toward
noon the fog lifted"
The sensation of the day at Saco,
Monday, was furnished by the running
away of the horses attached to one of
the street sprinklers. The animals
ran some distance and finally the en-
tire outfit piled up against an iron
post. Luckily, the driver was not on
the water wagon at the time, and thus
escaped almost certain injury.
One of the attractions which are be-
ing talked up for the month of August
is an aviation meet at Old Orchard,
but the details are said to be as yet
somewhat i'll the air.
