Or. Samuel G. Howe and Greece.

Editor Kennebec Journal;
was naturally much interested by
your article on the Greek colony in Au-
gusta and on the readiness of American
Greeks in general to help their adopted
country. if need should arise. Your MEN
ton of my father, DR.. samuel G.. Howe,
was highly gratifying to me, but 1 must
beg to correct an error in your account
of him. The Greek War of independence
began in 1921, and in 1924 my father, then
just out of college and the medical
school, offered his services as surgeon to
the Greek government. He was in
Greece for six years, first as surgeon to
the Greek Army and later as surgeon-in-
chief tArchichirourgos) to the fleet. He
saw much service. and it was said by one
of his fellow officers that "the only fault
found with him was that he would fight
in every battle and only became a sur
geon when the fighting was over" He
also, during these years, made flying
trip to this country and, telling the story
of the sufferings and the heroic struggles
of the Greeks, raised funds to help their
starving women and children, and took
back with him to Greece a shipload OF
food and clothing, most of which he dis
tributed with his own hands, journeying
about among the mountains where the
refugees were hidden. feeding the hun
cry and clothing the naked. Realizing
the dangers of idleness among the great
body of non-combatants who had taken
refuge in the Island of Egina, he set
them to work to build a much needed
mole or wharf, experimenting the work
himself and paying them in money and
flour. This mole is still known as the
American Mole. He also helped to found
a hospital, and, almost unaiccd, estap-
lished a colony near Corinth which -four
ished for many years and may still, for
aught / know be in existence. His ex-
petition to Greece in 1867 was in aid OF
the Cretans, who had risen against the
Turkish yoke and were making heroic
struggle for freedom. Again he carried
food and clothing for the hungry and
naked, and it was at this time that my
mother accompanied him.
All this may be read in the Letters
and Journals of Samuel Gridley Howe,
published in 1909.

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of Motherhood is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorator Of the female organism.

Monterey.

We were not many-we who stood
Before the iron sleet that DAY;
Yet many a gallant spirit would
Give half his years IL but he couid
Have been with us at Monterey.
Now here. now. there the shot it hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not single soldier quailed
When wounded comrades round them
walled
Their dying shout at Monterey.
And on-still on our column kept
Through walls of fiane, its whitening
Where fell the dead, the living stepped
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself reeoiled aghast
When striking where he strongest lay
We swooped his Ranking batteries past.
And Drawing full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the towers of Monterey
Our banners on those turrets wave,
And there our evening bugles play
Where orangeAbougifs above their grave
Keep green the memory of the brave
Who fought and fen at Monterey
We are not many--we who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day;
But. VINO of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have been at Monterey.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

After putting sway four guilty
gunmen on . recent Monday morning,
the warden Of Sing Sing prison arose
to remark that he hoped there would
soon be an end to capital punish,
ment in that state. We do not wonder
he felt that way about it for it is
natural that the strain Of execution
should be something fierce when it
comes in quadruple form. And more
people take that view Of the matter
from time to time, and more states
are legislating the hangman out Of
business And possibly those states
have no larger per cent Of homicides
in proportion to population than COM
monwealths which still enforce the
death penalty. But it is certain that
if the penalty is to be abolished, some
limitation of the pardoning power
ought to be provided so life sem
tence would mean that or thereabouts.

squad get in its work on tender

THE SUN IN TOTAL ECLIPSE.

The total eclipse of the sun which
is to take place on the 21st of Au-
gust Of this year promises to be of
special Importance for science, and
mainly for the reason that the zone
affected by this phenomenon will
spread over the greater part of Eu-
rope and Asia, and consequently will
afford scientists an opportunity of
studying the eclipse in districts that
are comparatively easy to reach, and
where scientific Investigations can be
pursued with every possible conven-
ience. Coming from the north Allan
tic ocean, the zone of totality will
reach the Norwegian coast at about
o'clock in the day; it will then pass
to Sweden by way of the town of
Hernodsand, and then on to Russia,
directly affecting Kew and Feodisia,
from where it reaches Trebizond at
about 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. and
then finally terminates in Persia.
Nearly all civilized countries are pre-
pairing expeditions for the study of
the eclipse. and a number of private
sxpsditions are also being fitted out

THE MATTER WITH THE CAREY
ACT PROJECTS.

In Colorado there have been two
things the matter with Carey act pro
jects. One was the fact that private
capital, in carrying out these projects,
was not regulated by the state, and
SO "watered" the irrigation bonds
more than the land under the projects.
The other indictment against the
Carey act projects iS that poor and
ignorant farmers were induced to set
tie on the lands. Whereas the irriga-
ticn farmer must have both money
and knowledge.
And that last criticism applies as
well to government reclamation pro
jects. The supposition that any man
from the city, without money, can
settle on irrigated land and make =
success of it has been the tragedy of
irrigation.
Wherefore it is necessary, as the
irrigation congress points out, that
either the state or the national gov
ernment must help the farmers with
cheap money and with expert advice
