Paris four years, made an Interesting
discovery the other day. While he was
in the store of John Pierce some refer
ence was made to Mr.. Pierce's army ex-
perience in the civil war and Mr.. Davis
asked him what his regiment was. The
Sixth Massachusetts, was the reply.
MY fathers regiment" exclaimed Mr.
Davis. What company" "K," replied
Mr. Pierce His company" said Mr.
Davis. And as Mr.. Pierce had a recol-
lection OF every man in the company, he
had no difficulty in recalling the elder
Davis. In fact, he at first claimed him
as a terminate, but finding that his name
was Alonzo A. Davis, withdrew the
claim. and it was another Davis with
whom he tented. The Sixth had three en-
listments during the war, Mr. Davis and
Mr.. Pierce went in at the second enlist
ment which was in 1862, for nine months.
Both enlisted from Chelmsford. Mass,
though from different sections OF the
town Mr. Pierce continued with the
regiment in the third enlistment but Mr.
Davis did not. There are now surviving
about Is members of Co X. Alonzo A.

In order to prevent trouble the vari-
ous Chinese theaters and musical
houses are not permitted to sell tickets
to Chinese visitors with their women
folk; but as there are some foreigners
who wish to hear Chinese singing and
music and always buy tickets for their
wives and female friends and refuse
to observe this rule the owners of the
musical houses and theaters have pc
titioned the police about the matter. In
reply the chief of police said that as
foreign men and women enjoy equal
rights In their own countries and are
permitted to make friends with each
other withost restriction they should
not be treated in the same way as
Chinese women and girls, so the own
crs are permitted to allow foreign wo-

their male friends, but Chinese females
are still not allowed to enjoy the same
privilege ges,--Pekin Gazette.

He helped the world upon its way;
With all his faults of word and deed
Mankind did have some little need
OF what he gave"-then in my grave
No greater honor shall / crave.
II they can say--if they but can
He did his best; he played the man;
His way was straight; his soul was
clean;
His failings not unkind, nor mean;
He loved his fellow men and tried
To help them"-Tll be satisfied.
But when I'm gone, if even one
Can weep because my life is done.
And feel the world is something bare
Because / am no longer there;
Call me knave my life misspent-
No matter, shall be content.
Alas for him who never sees
The stars shine through the cypress
Who, helpless, lays his dead away
Nor looks TO see the breaking day.
Across the mournful marbles play!
Who hath not learned in hours of faith
The truth to flesh and sense unknown,
That Life is ever lord of Death,
And Love can never lose Its own.

upon a band of gamblers early Sunday
morning. After meeting the midnight
train, the sheriff asked his deputy to
take a walk with him over to the

| TO a house where no signs of life ex
listed for the passerby, and raped on
the door. In moment eyes peered
by the curtain-and directly into the
bland countenance of the sheriff. The
scramble began at once, while the
sheriff stood and laughed. Aderton
scrambled to the other side of the
house to secure names, the proprietor
his guests scrambled for safety down
the cellar stairs and out the back way
Here Aderton neatly completed his
work tabulating while Sheriff oliver
stamped his feet upon the sidewalk
to make the frightened men run fast

dued their hilarity, they entered to
tell the proprietor that they had nc
warrant but that it wouldn't be safe
to continue as he had that night.

| pay not only in dollars and cents, but
| in satisfaction Four separate
courses will be given: General Agri-
culture and Dairying beginning Janu-
ary s, and continuing four weeks;
Horticulture and Poultry Management
| beginning February and running for
three weeks. These courses are run
for the benefit of those who cannot
take the more extended courses and
yet who desire to secure information
concerning modern, up-to-date agrl-
culture. No tuition of any kind is
charged, the only expenses being
railroad fare, room and board. The
expense for room and board amounts
to about $3.50 per week. In General
Agriculture the following subjects are.
studied: farm crops, soil fertility,
plant nutrition, farm buildings ana
equipment, farm management, and
such special subjects as types, breeds
diseases feeding and care or horses'
cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. IN
Dairying the subjects studied are
dairy cattle (breeds, breeding, feeding
and management, animal nutrition
animal diseases, stock judging, testing
milk, running separators and butter
making. The course in Horticulture
gives opportunity for studying COM
mercial orcharding, orchard renova-
ton. fruit handling, small fruits, mar
ket gardening, insect pests and fungus
diseases. Poultry Management takes
up types and breeds, breeding, incuba-
ton, feeding, diseases, judging,
ducks and geese, handling and
marketing eggs and fowl, nutrition,
and soils, crops and drainage as re-
Iates to the poultry business, also
the housing of poultry. These sub
jects are taught both by the class
room and actual practice methods.
The courses are planned to be in
tensely practical and TO give in the
short time allowed a large amount of
information concerning modern, up
date farming. A circular giving
full information has been issued and
can be secured by writing the College
of Agriculture, University of Maine,

times over. The lady who won the

Conference held at Lewiston during

Tt has been said that other trainers
were as great as Murphy, but that
Mike had the newspapers with him all
his life. If he did, there was also a
reason for that. He had a tremendous

one never saw him congratulating the
winners. He left that to themselves
and to their undergraduate friends,
but gave his attention to the losers,

out of their defeat Other trainers
may know or have known as much as
