Poem Advertises Skowhegan

The following poem, from a May
issue of Life, spreads abroad the
fame of Skowhegan, and several other
localities in Somerset county and
other parts of Maine The poet pokes
harmless sort OF humor at our In
dian names, which, though fearfully
and wonderfully built, are properly
regarded as a heritage of real value
to the State. This poet does very
we'll in the stunt he starts out to per
form. He has made very complete
list OF the Indian named towns, lakes
and rivers OF Maine,-all We have
ever heard of and some that have
never come 10 our attention. In the
fourth verse he seems to suggest that
We float down the Allegash to Cara
funk, but that is poetic license with
geography that We can afford 10 over
look.
WILD WANDERINGS
Dear Lady of the Aroostook.
Wilt come in my birchbark with me-
In off in the wids of Seboomook,
And yearniug 10 wander with thee.
4 word. and katahdn shall listen,
Chesuncook its echoes shall shake.
And Spurdnabunk' ripples shall glis-
ten.
And Matagamonsis awake.
On Squawpan we'll dream as We pad
die,
Jnsumtalum s shadows, deep-sunk,
Shall cool us; our thought shall not
addle,
Not even on Matchunkemunk.
Far mquasabamtieook's current
Shall float us to Allegash down.
No civilization deterrent
Shall keep US from Carratunk town.
Schools. and then MattaWamkeag,
Shall see US. and Skowhegan too.
Pamedecook and Passadumkeag
Shall lavish their beauties on you.
Cauauomgomoc and Pattagumpus
And Moosetocmaguntic we'll win.
There's nothing in Maine that can
stump US
TIL symptoms of lockiaw set in.

the teaching of sewing and cooking has
gained foothoId. In Warren county

what was good enough fur me is good
enough fur my chillun," but something
happened when the school fair was
held this autumn. A number of prizes
had been offered for exhibits of needle
work and cooking; also, a grand prize
Of $50 in gold to the girl showing the
greatest amount of fine work in all
classes. This grand prize was awarded
to Daisy Kite.
AS soon as the award was made
known, some outsider asked "Where
is this girl that has done so much
splendid work, covering, sewing, beat
en- biscuit and fine cake making?"
A sympathetic smile fitted across a
teachers face as she replied. did you
see the parade downtown this morn
ing?"
Yes. Why"
Did you notice a lame girl with
face written over large with the word
"Pluck?" That was Daisy Kite. She
does what the others do. in spite of
the fact that she has been on a crutch
since she had hip crushed when she
was three"

There is no discount on the ne
gro as a fighting man. The
Tenth infantry's record in Cuba,
when it saved Mr.. ROosevelt's
bacon, is well, if not always
gratefully. remembered. In the
Philippine campaigns tho negro
gave a good account of himself
Under the eye of his officers in
time of peace he is an eqcellent
soldier.
The trouble is that, with the
army. campaigns are few and far
between and that. in peace, the
negro is not always under the
eye of his officers. The Browns
vile affair has not increased his
availability for garrison duty in
the South. In Hawaii and the
Philippines the natives dislike
him. In posts where white Of
fcers are in command friction is
kept at a minimum In posts un-
der non commissioned officer
the negro's racial desire to make
show of his authority leads to
trouble. Because of this quail
ty and his failure to command
the respect give to the white
soldier in the dependencies, the
negro's serviceability has be-
come restricted.
The army conference may be
expected to approach the ques-
ton from the standpoint of mill
tary efficiency, but before it is
settled it is fairly certain that
the politicians will take a hand.
