Tell me sweet, they name, that
May set it in my prayer.
Love, like bolt from out the sky,
Hath ta'en me unaware;
A prince am in mine own cline,
And thou my queen shalt be-
! o balmy airs of this rare isle,
That watt such ecstasy.
Out of the wreck of storm and sea,
I plucked this virgin pearl,
The tempest winds are bowling free
The fretted pillows curl;
Once more, Prospero, wave thy
wand
And dash the dark apart,
Come, my Miranda, nestle in
The harbor of my heart.

formerly stood, the original tree itself
having been blown down in a terrific
gale early in the last century.
In 1895 the Rumford Historical as
sociation erected a monument to mark
the site Of the old tree. The square
stone apple to represent perfect spe-
cimen of the Baldwin variety. The
date OF the discovery Of the ''pecker"
tree is given on the monument as
1893, but there Is considerable doubt
as to the correctness Of this date.
There is little question. however. as
to the location being the proper one,
although at one time no less than six
towns near Boston and one In Maine
were claiming the honor OF having pos
sessed the original Baldwin tree. A'
it Is, the surviving members OF the
Buffers family believe they should not
be ignored, as 1t was Buffers who
first domesticated this variety. and the
Thompsons naturally think that the
apple should really bear their name,
as a Thompson was first to start 1t on
it's road to fame.
The whole question as to the origin
OF the apple had become such an In
volved one that the state Legislature
took a hand In the fifties and appoint

DEATH HARVEST OF JUNGLE

Deaths from attacks by wild AMI
mails in India are increasing In num-
ber. Rising waters have driven SER
pents from the lowland tungles up to
the villages. and have diminished
through drowning the natural 1000

1000 persons were killed in 1910 by
elephants. tigers, hyenas. bears. leo
pards, wolves. wild pigs and other
animals. Over 22.000 were killed by
snakes The grand total of mortality
was nearly $4,000 persons. AT the
same time $4,000 cattle were killed by
snakes and wild beasts. The inhabi-
tants of the jungle also suffered by re-
prisals on the part of their human enc

FOR EVERY FAMILY
MEDICINE CHEST

To the head of every family the
health of its different members IS
most important, and the value OF an
agreeable laxative that is certain In
its effect is appreciated. One OF the
most popular remedies In the family
medicine chest is combination or
simple laxative herbs with pepsin that
IS known to druggists and physicians
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
preparation Is mild and gentle In Its
action on the bowels, yet positive in
It's effect. A dose of Syrup Pepsin at
night means relief next morning
while its tonic properties tone up and
strengthen the muscles OF stomach

THE SAILORS AT THE
SKATER RIFLE RANGE
Army Construction Work---The Junior
Naval Practice---Improving Trans
portation---Cage Masts

While tarrying at this port, the
sailors of the various u. s. S. cruisers,
have been given the advantage of
rifle and pistol practice.
Through the courtesy of the COM
mandant of Fort Shafter, Major John
H. Wholley U. S. A., the ships have
taken turn about" in sending squads
of some eighty-odd men at time for
tour of firing on the target range
of the Kahauiki reservation.
On Saturday morning the last de-
tachment of sailors from the U. S. S.
South Dakota completed their pistol
and rifle practice at the firing range
The U. S. S. California coming next
in this assignment, sent an advanced
guard of five sailors from their ship
to have and to hold the temporary
camping site at the Kahauid reserva-
ton from Saturday until Monday
morning. Yesterday eighty sailors
from the U. S. S. California
composed the first firing squad to
take rifle and pistol firing. The test
for each aggregation of men continues
for three days. Their record is care
fully kept and they are returned to
their ship to give place for another
body of Uncle Sans men.
This process of rife and pistol fir
ing although arranged as expeditions
ly as possible, with a cruisers quota
of nearly eight hundred men each,
and four ships in port, the time ac-
tually needed for this practice would
approximate almost four months.
Nine squads of sailors at three days
each would be twenty-seven days al
loted each ship.
Lieutenant L. M. Stevens, U. 5.
Navy of the U. S. S. California, is in
command of the target practice de-
tachments from his ship at Fort Shat
ter. Tents are pitched, a mess orig
mated and all goes well at the target
range.
Springfield rifles are used by the
sailor boys who fire at targets, two,
three and five hundred yards distant.
Pistol practice comes first. These
targets are twenty-five and fifty yards
The rifle and pistol practice, al,
though constantly kept up by the of.
ficers and sailors of the ships, does
not mean, in point of efficiency and
