WORD FROM WASHINGTON.

Washington. d. c.. Aug. 15.-fSpe-
ciaD-That fine Democratic confidence
as to Maine in early September,
which for d time made those parti-
sans very CHEEKY, has been disap-
pearing around the Capitol in recent
days.
The Democratic brethren seem to
have heard something from Maine.
since Obadiah Gardner and Sam Gould
and Dan McGillieuddy went back
home to take hold Gov. Wilson's de-
cision not to make any speeches in
Maine prior to the State election put
the Democrats on guard as to their
Maine expectations. If everything
up there was as upright and favorable
as some Maine Democrats had been
representing it to be, why should Gov.
Wilson be so chary about helping out
his devoted followers? Considerable
talk there has been about Speaker
Clark and Leader Underwood hiking
away to Maine but inquiries here i'm
dicate that neither of them has any
intention at present of going there.
They are somewhat in the same
plight as Gov. Wilson. II would be
awkward for the National Democracy
to have Republican victory after
such big Democratic guns had been in
the state. Way back in the precon-
vention days, the Maine Democrats in
Congress, who ran up the Wilson flag
early, declared his nomination would
mean thousands of votes to them in
their State election. One of the first
of the Maine Democrats in Congress
to hasten over to Sea Girt was Senator
Gardner and Immediately there was a
proclamation that the Governor
would devote a whole week to the
Maine campaign. Finei Maine would

The charge made by DR.. Hudson Is so

who desire to learn are always told they
can be taught free Of charge. The in

Guards have been permitted to give

The instruction has been given outside
Of the regular hours and has not inter-
the lives of the hundreds who daily visit

"The statement that. the hours have
been shortened to permit of these spe-
cial lessons Is unfounded. The hours at
the beach have been the same for the
last ten years."
In order that the water in the pools
may be kept as free as possible from
contamination, steps will be taken, ac-
. cording to Superintendent Hudson, to
add to the circulation of the water.
That impurities exist Is shown by
an analysis of the Health Department
OF water taken from the pools between
the hours of 3 and p. M, whent the
crowd is largest. The pools are filled
daily with filtered water and fresh

My Two
Love Affairs
By JOHN VERNHAM

That last evening in the library. 1t
was, to say the least, feverish. I was
to start for China the next day, to be
gone how long no m knew. A man
about to go to a foreign country to
live permanently would not think Of
buying a house in the country from
which he departs, but I thought moth
ing of engaging myself to a girl be-
tween whom and me would be half the
globe-and water at t~hat-neither Of
us having the wherewithall to reach
each other.
1t was early spring, and wood blazed
on the hearth. We drew a sofa up be-
fore the fire and sat locked in a con-
tinuous embrace. l told her that the
moment my salary reached a sufficient
figure I would come home and take
her back with me. l thought it might
be a year. Even that interval seemed
interminable to both of us.
Happy youth-happy in not know
ing what lies before it! Had some
unkind fairy shown me a picture OF
the future l would have been miser-

would not realize the transition.
But for the moment l was happy and
miserable-happy that loved and was
beloved: miserable that | must be part
ed from her to whom l had given my
whole being. But there was a kind Of
delight even in my misery. Young per-
sons sometimes find pleasure in mis-
cry; old persons never do, or if they
do it is because by exhibiting their mis-
ery they may make those about them
miserable.
The small hours were growing lar
ger when, after a long kiss. l tore my
self away and after W or three hours
sleep was driven to the ship on which
1 was to sail.
I went on board with a heart like
lead. My heart was not only heavy.
but there was a smell Of bilge water.
The weather was bad too. Neverthe-
less I remained in the clouds. not rose
ate clouds, but lowering clouds. The
face of my fiancee was still floating
among them, and I was floating with
her. My surroundings had not yet
destroyed this mingled happiness and
misery. For awhile longer I lived in
the clouds.
Ny first coming down to earth oc-
Cured on the third day out. For two

about US and l fell from lovesickness
to seasickness. And oh. what Il fall
was there! My dreams were dissipat-
ed. I didn't care to live long enough
to return to claim my bride. l wished
the ship would sink and swallow me
up in oblivion.
When l recovered l didn't resume
my love letters. I concluded that l had
enough written to make a sizeable
packet. I sat on deck in a steamer
chair, where 1 could keep my eyes on
the ocean surface, for in this way
avoided seeing things turned topsy-
turvy. I could think of the girl left
behind me if l wanted to, but l prefer
red to concentrate my mind on mathe-
NAUTICAL problems for the purpose OF
avoiding that COMPOUNDED seasickness.

myself up during this year in an oc-
