The village Of Fort Kent in north
ern Maine has just had an experience
M the hands of an absolute despot,
which is 2 refreshing exception to the
usual rule The town, which has
about 1000 people found itself three
wears ago with a debt of 81 900 sud
denly incurred with nothing to show
for it in the ordinary run of munich
pal business. There was plainly some
thing wrong or rotten. Leading eiti-
zens went to a prominent merchant,
whom everybody respected, and urged
him 10 become chairman of the board
of seleetmen and try 10 pull the town
out of the hole. He agreed on condi-
ton that he could also have the offices
of road commissioner, superintendent
of schools. oVerseer of the poor and al
so perform the duties of various other
administrative ofticeS-in short be
boss or general manager of the whole
town The citizens knew their man
and gladly agreed. He got busy. and
ran that town for two years as he did
his own private business. Now il is
free from debt and has made numer-
Gus permanent improvements. though
no more money has been raised by
taxation than in earlier years. Nat
urally the town would like TO keep
this man on the job permanently, but
he has other things to attend to.

He. the loW-bred of his race.
When he enters all are silent,

They are waiting with tense feellnS.
What will he, in this hour. dare
Suddenly he tells a story
And they stare in wild amaze
That he dare to be light-hearted
In the horror of these days.
Then he looks into their faces
Speaks in accents slow and cold:
Il shall give the slaves their freedom
Fer the morning rays unfold.
Ev'ry voice is hushed TO silence'
Ev'ry heart is deeply stirred!
AS he reads TO them the message
That the nation has not heard.
Here is given new birth to freedom
Here the Union is reborn
Here the souls of ali Gods children
Pass into nobler morn,
Slowly. firmly. without weakness,
Reads he words the world shall near
Words that echo down the ages.

Free Forever.

CBy Elizabeth Powers Merrill1
Lonely in the great white mansion
Sits the nations weary chief.
Head bowed low DER hands long cal
Soul and body crushed with grief
Well he knows that all the country
Looks TO him in this mad hour
Well he knows a nations ife-blood
Lies within his arm of power
He can hear the angry murmurs
Swelling from the South and North
AS the tidings of the battles
Ger the trembling states go forth.
He can feel the curses falling
Upon him, from day to day
Hear men call him chief OF laggards
AS he goes along his way
Then he lifts his soul to heaven!
Il will dc il, God help mel
will free the slaves forever
From the pines unto the sea.
Undivided keep this country.
Hold ii to its purpose high;
will break the curse that curses
Save the nation, thoueh-I die.
Is there still God in heaven?
Has he then no friend on earth?
Are the forces of hell loosened2
War in hell must have its BIRTH
Shall he wait for news Of yict'ry
OF the men from out the NORTH
Shall he write the words of freedom
From his crushed heart send them forth?
Lower TROOPS MS Iedu IN SOIlON-
He, within waking dream,
Sees his old home on the lprairies,
Sun-swept wheat fields all agleam,
Hears the birds along the waters
Singing in the mellow light;
Sees the dappled clouds of morning:
Sees the tender skies of night.
Fades the dream into another.
Boy of his with eyes of blue
Clasps his hand with clingng fingers.
As they walk through morning dew.
Slowly tears fall from his hot eyes.
For his boy with dimpled hand
Lies within Potomacs valley
Where the brooding cedars stand.
Then vision whirs and blinds him
Like sandstone of the past,
And the black man stands before him
Manacled-the worlds outcast.
Swift he sees the lash fall on him,
Hears his cries that rise on high.
While the blood that trickles DER him
Calls for vengeance from the sky.
Fades the vision, Lincoln slowly
Climbs the stairs to little Tad.
Sits beside the rosy sleeper,
Rests his hand upon his head.
He is hoping for a message
From the field of battle borne.
Tired, he SAUNDERS in his arm chair.
Waiting for the coming morn.
Down the street the sudden tramping
OF the soldiers waken him
'Rat-a--tap and rat-a-tap''
Sounds along the hallway dim.
Trembling, staggering, he hastens
To the oaken door below,
Grasps the message that is brought him,
While the sentries come and go.
Then he reads: 'Antietam taken"
Swell the great veins of his heart,
While storm of sudden feeling
Makes the burning teardrops start.
Meath the white stars of the morning
His n4lf Inns breathe "a
