To curb the rowdies who have be-
gun to riot upon the street cars with
the start of the season of holiday ex-
cursions, city magistrates and police
officers of New York city planned the
most bitter medicine ever administer
ed there In support of the motormen
and conductors, who have always
bravely faced the fighters in defense
of outraged passengers, ''strong arm
squads" of policemen in plain clothes
are to be detailed within call to hail
the offenders to court, where the judg
es are ready to penalize them with
long terms in the work house. If the
sworn officers of the law will persist
in this stern attitude toward the ruff
fans who delight to terrorize the
pleasure seekers here. New Workers
believe that the efforts of the street
car men to protect the public from in
suit and injury will be successful.

The Question!
(Lewiston Journal)


Mr. Pattangall, chief almoner OF TINS
democratic administration, occupant OF
two Offices all of the time and three by
proxy most of the time, is right when
he says that the chief question is
whether or not the Plaisted admins
trdtion is worthy of the endorsement
of the voters
The answer is easy, Mr.. Pattangall'
1t is not worthy. If q man fools you
once it is his fault; twice 1t Is your
fault. Two years ago Plaisted iooleu
the folks about making Maine honest
in his administration of the law. IN
stead. he has made her rotten. We are
afraid of our very lives. Go to! MIR.

The Dexter correspondent reports
as slight prospects for a change in
Dexters street lighting system the
present year, owing to the failure of
the Street Light Committee and the
Central Maine Power Co to agree on
the price of electricity for commercial
purposes. The town voted at the an
nual meeting in March to make a five
year contract with the power com
pany, and appointed committee to
act In conjunction with the selectmen,
with instructions to secure the best
possible contract for the Gown. The
Central Maine Co. offered to furnish
100 street lights for $1,000 a year for
five years. The members of the COM
mittee also claim that the company
promised to reduce the price of COM
mercial electricity to ~ cents per
killowat hour in place of IA cents, the
present price. The committee init
mated that they would sign contract
for los lights per year at $1,000 pro-
viding the commercial rates be re-
duced to II cents per killowat hour.
The company has refused to make
an immediate reduction but claims
that a general reduction in rates is
under consideration and that Dexter
with the other towns in the system
will benefit by a reduction. No con-
tract has been signed and the matter
is hanging fire. The present system
is inadequate, especially in the bust
ness section, and there is a popular
demand for more light.

Saco claims the only ministerial or
chestra in New England and hints at
a belief that it is the only one in the
United States. The members of the
musical organization are all ordained
clergymen, except Capt. w. h. Math-
eson of the local Salvation Army
Corp, who is recognizer, however, by
the local ministers as one or their
number. He attends the weekly
meetings of the Ministers Club, and
takes an active part in proceedings.
At a recent meeting of the club it
was discovered that all the preach
ers were musicians, for when at coll
leee they had belonged to the college
musical organizations. In addition
to their ability to play musical in
struments they all possess fine voices
and a male quartet probably will be
formed.

A lasting memorial to a man long
dead is seen each spring by persons
who drive through the town of
Phippsburg. On a high bank, facing
the road appears 4 particularly green
spot of grass made to form the name
S. H. Rogers. According to the story
wears ago Mr. Rogers. who lived on
the farm, marked off the letters on
the hillside and then covered the lines
with fertilizer. The grass naturally
came ont thicker and richer where
the fertilizer was used than in other
places on the hillside His descend
ants have followed the plan. and each
spring the letters appear to attract
the attention of passers-by.

Maine Gossip

Small boys played practical joke
on two Down casters early this
spring, according to the Maine Woods,
by drinking their sap and replacing
the original contents of the buckets
with water. The substituted liquid
was gathered in due time. Then came
the boiling process. High rose the
flames about the pans and kettles, but
still higher rose the Indignation of the
maple sugar makers when the stuff
refused to turn into strip. Finally the
task was abandoned in disgust,
Mighty poor sap year"-they said, by
way of explanation. The boyish trick
was reprehensible, of course, but it
was not so mean as that of the man
in the State of Prohibition who emp
tied his neighbours gin bottle and re-
filled it with aqua pura, which gagged
the unsuspecting victim at the very
first swallow. Such surprise might
have shocked a person of weak heart
fatally!-Boston Globe.

MEANING OF. TAT HALF MAST
At First Universal symybol Was
Taken Of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

& &
Perhaps you have noticed that
whenever q prominent person dies,
especially II he is connected with the
government, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part Of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and
Express. This Is called half mast.
Did you ever stop to think what con-
nection there could be between q flag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death of q great man?
Ever since f1ages were used in war
1t has been the custom to have the
flag Of the superior or conquering ma
ton above that Of the inferior or van
quished. When an army found itself
hopelessly beaten 1t hauled it's flag
down far enough for the flag. Of the
victors to be placed above 1t on the
same pole. This was a token not
only Of submission, but Of respect.
In those days when a famous sol
der died flags were lowered out Of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man as worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above 1t is for the flag Of the great
conqueror Of all-the angel Of death

Motor Cars and Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes, flies and gnats of every
description are said to be more numer-
GUS in Paris this year than ever be-
fore. It has become a veritable in
vasion. The explanation usually Civ
en- is that the swallows are much few
er this summer, and also that the
ubiquitous sparrow is notably on the
decrease. Nobody can find reason
for the desertion Of the swallows, but
the reason Of the scarcity of spar
rows is not far to seek. The enemy
is mechanical traction, which Is sup
planting the use of the horse. Before
long, horses will practically have dis
appeared In Paris, and when their
nosebags go there will disappear one

TOWEL DESIGNS ARE PRETTY
Natural CoIors introduced to Add to
Effect, and Results Speak for
Themselves.

55.s e y
When the dainty cross stitch designs
In natural co1ors were fashioned in
garlands from flowers and bowknots on
towels last year many declared moth
ing could be prettier, but now the
darn stitch and the bias stitch, also
in natural colors, have been intro
duced and they certainly are attrac-
tive.
AT the present moment, however, no
towels are meeting with popular favor
like these variously termed the "medi-
eval design" the "20th century design"
and Venetian peint" designations
that are confusing in both period and
place. There is some excuse for this,
as the designs show the influence of
lace's evolution and do not cling to
any one decided type, but borrow
beauty from all. The work is done In
a sort of buttonhole stitch, combined
with punch work.

KEEP SCISSORS IN KITCHEN
lnnumerabIe WAYS in Which They
May Be Of Far Greater Service
Than The Knife.

A pair of scissors in the kitchen are
Of invaluable assistance-not the lamp
scissors or the dull pair that is black
with age, nor the garden pair, nor yet
these with the missing points, but a
new, sharp, shiny pair that will cut.
1t Is difficult matter, for instance,
to remove the white pith from grape
fruit with knife; one digs and jabs.
and finally cuts out the offending CEN
ter and, incidentally, makes hole In
the fruit through which the Juice
drips onto the plate. Not so with the
scissors. A snip, pull, and there it Is
without trouble or mutflatfon.
And bacon! How few women can
slice OFF the slippery rind, while with
scissors every morseI can be quickly
pared away without a vestige Of
waste. In cutting off the legs Of q
lobster, In breaking open the claws
and cutting through the tail, the scfs-
sors will do the work uncomplainingly
without the aid of the hammer and Ice
pick
In preparing vegetables they are in
comparable. Try them in cutting the
roots from spinach, trimming rusty
lettuce leaves, shaping flowerets of
caulifower, and cutting up asparagus.
Dice up the pineapple with them, cut
UP the meat and fish for salads, re-
move the veins from shrimps, use
them for the fish fms and save your
fingers.
