KING CHRISTIAN ON FILM.
Denmark's Ruler Shown in Real Res
cue of Woman From Sea.

The royal family were quietly
cruising recently on their yacht Rita
off Aarhus, on the Jutland coast.
when suddenly from a neighborinS
cove shots rang out and shouts for
help were heard. The yacht steere1
in the direction whence the ominous
sounds came. Two boats were dis
covered the occupants of which, Il
brilliantly crew, were engaged in an
apparently deadly combat with rifles
and revolvers, while a good-looking
the fight, was tearfully wringing her
hands in despair.
The King Immediately gave orders
for boat to be lowered to assist
beauty in distress, when another craft
was dscerned. on which a moving
picture operator was busly turning a
handle. When the true meaning of
it all was realized the Kings yacht
distcreetly moved out of range, but the
film story wasn't over yet
The part of the young woman, a
we'll known Copenhagen actress, in
cluded a jump into the sea and a
swim ashore, but before she had got
halfway home her strength gave out
and she shouted for help in cool
earnest. The Ritas lifeboat. with
the King on board, hurried to the
rescue and Christian himself lent an
active hand in helping the semf-co
scious lady out of the water The
moving picture man did not let such

The gathering of Maine Democrats AT
Augusta on Thursday meant great ueai
as an indication of the spirit which am
mates the party in this state meant
that the Democracy is united and enthu-
siastic That was made abundantiy
plain in the remarks made by men from
all counties of the state. inere was
shown a determination to win "a glorious
victory next year. The gathering made
it plain that the Democratic party IN this
state has within itself no troubles tnat
listened to what was said both In the
speeches and in the conversation OF
those in attendance at the meeting could
fail to realize that the party in Maine is
proud of the record being made by Presl-
dent Wilson and the Democratic con-
ess-Waterville Sentinel.
And nobody who listened to what
misunderstood how they felt toward
Mr. Pattangall. former Gov. Plaisted.
and CIV Davis, all three of whom had
important business elsewhere. The

Congressman Gould and Editor Han

"Blood-" Sport."
Editor kennebec Journal:

Editor kennebec Journal:
The open season" for game has al
ready commenced in some parts of
New England and will soon be on in
others, when certain people will dis
cover a pleasure in sallying forth into
Natures beautiful retreats and bring
ing terror and desolation to the wild
things who there live. And not sud-
den death alone, for countless victims
will creep away, wounded, to suffer d
lingering death.
Is it not time, | would ask, that an
enlightened public sentiment put an
end to this relic of. savagery? The
name of sport" becomes a dishon-
ored thing when. at the dictates of the
primitive man within us, we drive
from it all feelings of ehivalry, charity
and justice. Is it not enough for
civilized beings to enjoy the loneliness
of Nature without staining her face
with the blood of the innocent? Far
greater delight, without the element
of danger, can be derived from the
camera; and no reckless hand will
then disturb that benefieent balance
of nature" which the eternal laws gov
erning the wilds and their inhabitants
are constantly endeavoring to keep.
Old DIR. Johnson once said: 1T Is
very strange and very melancholy
that the paucity of human pleasures
should persuade us to call hunting one
of them To those preparing to par
take of this pleasure" l would say
Pause and think twice at least be-
fore you deliberately add to the
worlds already heavy burden of pain

Farmers Getting Rich Too Fast.

FARMERS 0cttih9 HiCH ioo FdSt'
| POTATOES can be raised in Maine
for about 20 cents per bushei. They
are now selling, though the crop is
very large, for upwards Of 200 per
cent. more than it costs to produce
them. We can beat Canada two to
one in potato raising and yet a SUI
perfIuously high duty of rs cents
busheI was imposed under the Al
drich tariff in order to purchase the
votes of farmers for an absurd
and trust sheiterins tariff system"
The above epic was written by that
notorious friend of the farmer, the ed
itor of the Lewiston Journal. He fears
the farmers of Maine are becoming
overburdened with wealth and will die
rich and in disgrace, the same as
feared by Carnegie.
1t is the same editor who so siren
uously supported Taft and reciprocity
because it promised a saving in the
Lewiston Journals paper bill.
The editor of the Lewiston Journal
is not afraid of dying rich, ah no! He
knows how to spend his money-in
cottages at Squirrel Island and tene
ment houses in Auburn and Lewiston.
He could stand as much as thirty
cents a bushel for potatoes, If he were
on a farm; but with you it is different,
far different You are likely to get
rich.
The very idea of farmer being al
lowed to receive for his crops more
than it actually costs to produce
them! 1t is preposterous!
Dingley won't stand for any such
conditional. He will go right on yowl-
ing about Taft United States Sena-
tors" and tories and "reactiona-
ries," and "Penrose- Burleigh parties,
and Limousine elements. ~
1t is the same editor who daily, in
his malicious sheet, abuses Senator
Burleigh by sneers. sfurs, innunendo
and downright falsehood, that objects
tn farmers of Maine receiving more
than 20 cents a bushel for potatoes.
You, who have known Senator Bur-
leigh all his life, might for the mo-
ment, on reading the Lewiston Jour
nal. be convinced that the former
Governor of Maine and former Rep
resentative to Congress had suddenly
become. in his later years, villain
of the deepest dye, CRATER, traitor
to his country, man wilfully at
tempting to ruin the industries and
homes of the nation; but you will be
somewhat slower to believe the Lew
iston Journals charges that you are
becoming a bloated bondholder, piling
I'D enormous riches at the expense of
poor. overworked newspaper publish
ers who have the responsibilities OF
heaven and earth on their hands.
OF course you are delighted with
the removal of the duty on potatoes,
because you will have the pleasure OF
showing Canadian farmers how easy
1t is to beat them, two to one-and
YOU will also have the pleasure OF
pleasing the Lewiston Journals edi-

In the Train.
AS we rush, as we rush in the Train.
The trees and the houses wo wheeling
back.
But the starry heavens above the plain
Come flying in our track
All the beautiful stars of the sky,
The silver doves of the forest of Night,
over the dull earth swarm and fly,
Companions of our flight.
We will rush ever on without fear;
Let the goal be far, the flight be fleet
For we carry the Heavens with us, dear,
While the Earth slips from our feet.
