Mr.. John H. MacLaughlin,
Cooper's Mills, Maine.
Ny Dear Sir:
My respect for you jumped 100 per
cent. on receipt of your admirably
frank letter with a signature at its
close. That man does not agree with
me does not in the least lower him IN
my estimation; neither do cringe be-
fore honest criticism. But / am con-
vinced that the Lord hates man who

A Thought for You, Boy,
And Your Dad as Well.

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with chuckle, replied
That maybe it couldn't but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he bucSled right in, with the trace of a grin
On his face If he worried, he hid it,
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be DONE and he did it.
Somebody scofed: "Oh you'll never do that
AT least no one has ever done it"
But he took off his coat and he took off his hat,
And the first thing he knew he'd begun it;
With the life of his chin and bit of grim
Without any doubling qulddit;
He started to sing he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There thousands to prophesy failure;
There are thousands point out to you, one by one
The dangers that wait to assa you;
But just buckle in with bit of grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle the thing
That cannot be DONE" and you'll do it.

He conquers who endures:

He conquers who endures:

No trappings light and gay
No plauditS for my name.
Unknown, unsung, live,
Wrestling the best from life,
That Ito life) may bring,
The sinew,-born of strife.

Though cudgeled by fate's hand
Greater than fate am l.

Though earth be whirled from space.
He conquers who endures:

Lest l should ever shrink
From what life brings to me.
From Thy great strength-give strength
To bear whate'er may come.
Though scorned, misunderstood,
My soul is free-QipS dumb.
He conquers who endures:

The extreme cold weather calls to
mind that in 1868 the Steamer Will
lam Tibbetts" plying between Boston
and Bangor was frozen in about three
miles south of Belfast in the early
part of February. Her cargo was TAX
en- out on the ice and she was loaded
while frozen in. When the ice broke
up about the middle of March she
proceeded to Boston with a full car
go of both freight and passengers. At
that time seven Young men of this
town went to Boston on her for the
purpose of attending A. D. Bills Com

WHITE MEN FIGHT UNDER
BANNER OF WHITE WOLF

Shanghai June lS.-That a number OF
white men are fighting under the ban
ner of White Wolf, the bandit chieftain
was reported here today in messages
from Hankow.
There was fairly thick sprinllng of
trained foreign soldiers in both the i'm.
perial and rebel armies during the re-
cent revolution and since White Wolf
has grown so strong, it was believed
some of them had graviated to his ser.
vice.
In the rebel army during the revolu.
tionary period these cOinpaigners took
pains to call themselves instructors
rather than regular fighting men, as
they would have subject to severe pun
ishment by the authorities of their re-
spectiye nations at the treaty ports aad
it been recognized that they were war
ring against the Chinese government.
In the present case they unquestion
ably would be severely dealt witt
should they fall into their consuls
hands. Several nationalities were sai(
to be represented, including America by
at least one or two members of thC
little corps.

R. R. COMMISSION
RAISES WATER RATES
Value of the Plant of the Coos Bay
Water Company Determined-Report
Shows Net Revenues 10 Per Cent.

The railroad commission Wednesday
passed upon the application of the Coos
Bay Water company to raise its rates
for both Marshfield and North Bend
1t of its own motion also established
the value of the plant at 100000,
divided between the cities with $4,000
as Marshfield's S proportion, $4,000 as
that of North Bend, and with $4,000
common to both. The report shows that
the net revenues from the plant
for the year 1912 were $l2,0O2.22, or
practically 10 per cent.
The commission made an entirely new
schedule re-arranging the rates as to
users which were before inequitable, as
residents were charged the same rate
whether they had big house or small
one and whether they used much or
little. The Commission also raised the
rates as the company asked, the it-
crease being for the resident district
about 10 per cent and for the business
district about - per cent. This rate as
the table shows would make the average
householder in North Bend pay 1920
month and in addition s. for irriga-
ton. or in all for the year $26.i0.
