TEACHER MAKES A PROTEST
One, at Least, Of the Profession, Is
Tired of sympathy" showered
Upon It.

In one respect, writes a cOntempo-
rary. teachers show marked improve
ment in their professional attitude.
The chronic wilmer, the habitually
tired, over-worked teacher who used
to be met SO frequently at every sum
mer resort, and who provided an ex-
cellent subject for jest, is rapidly dis
appearing. Indeed, the time seems
coming when teachers will present
Just as smiling and optimistic coun-
tenances to the world as any other
set of people, whatever their feelings
may be.
When a school board hears a teach
er talk like this it must feel an i'm
mediate impulse to raise that teachers
salary: I'VE have altogether over
stated the hardships of our business
The summer resort folks have cap
italized our complaints and they sene

those Of any other worker.
Even If it should be proved that
the nervous strain of effectively di-
recting 40 or so restless intelligences
is greater than that upon the woman

not lessen the nervous strain for me

Aged Woman Is Killed by the
Maine Central Train at Ellsworth

Ellsworth, Me-, March 1s.-The long
list of deaths caused by trains of the
Maine Central Railroad. which has
been growing rapidly during the past
few weeks, was added to Wednesday,
when Miss Eva Chatto of this city. 81
years old, and sister of M. D. Chat
to OF South BrooksviIfe, candidate for
the Maine Senate from Hancock coun-
ty on the Republican ticket, received
injuries from which she died about
an hour later.
Miss Chatto was walking along the
track between Ellsv orth Falls and this
city at $50 o'clock Being somewhat
deaf she did not hear the approach or
the train which left Bangor at 8
o'clock, behind her Engineer Frank
Robinson of Bangor was in the cab and
he reversed the throttle and blew his
whistle repeatedly when he saw the
figure of the woman on the curve
The train had greatly decreased It's
speed when it struck Miss Chatto, toss
ing her to one side of the track.
AS soon as members of the train
crew could reach her, it was found
that she had been terribly injured and
she was placed aboard and carried to

BELIEVE ALMOSTANY
MOTHER BETTER THAN
THE DISSATISFACTION

Albany, n. Y, March 19.-That a sec
ond rate mother is a better mother than
the very best institution is one of the
arguments contained in the preliminary
findings of the state commission of re-
lief for widowed mothers which were
filed with the Legislature today in sup
port of the bill designed to provide for
state allowances for needy widows
with children.
the commission takes the position that
widowed mothers should not be made to
appeal, but should have the right to
claim from the state money with which
to rear their children to become good
citizens The allowance" requested in
the measure is described as salary
granted to the mother by the state in re-
turn for what she undertakes to perform
certain task of child rearing"
Present institutional provisions, both
public and private. are inadequate, the
report continues. for the many children
who do not receive proper care in their
homes, either through the pride of the
mother or because she is compelled to
work beyond her strength to support
them.

match my professional Punch Fairs,
from whom Covey won his title, against

course Convey has the first chance to chal-
lenge MIR. Gould. but it is my hope to be
able to get Convey to consent to a match
with Fairs within the next six months;
then IL Fairs wins, as I am sure he
would, Mr.. Gould, believe, would be
willing to give Fairs a chance at his
title.
Mr.. Gould is most extraordinary
player. His game against Convey was
phenomenal If he had a weak point l
did not discover 1t. He is a master of the
game and fully deserved the victory.
America is to be congratulated upon hav-
ing won another worlds championship .

court tennis player, Witnessed the entire
eight sets between Gould and Covey.

WEEKS NOT CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNORS CHAIR

Fairfield, Me-, March 19.-For some.
time past rumors have been current
that Hon. George G.. Weeks of this
town was to be a candidate for the
Republican nomination for Governor
in the primary next June. On his re-
turn this week from trip to Canada,
Mr.. Weeks was asked concerning the
correctness of the report. He said:
T am not responsible for the ru-
mors that get abroad"
This is regarded as meaning that
he has no intent of opposing Governor
Haines for the nomination. This is
not the first time that Mr.. Weeks
name has been put forward as a Re-
publican candidate for Governor. Sew
eral times in the past he has been
talked of for the place at the head of
that party's ticket and in 1912 strong
pressure was brought to bear upon
him to compete with Mr.. Haines in
the primaries.
Hon. George G.. Weeks is one of the
best known men in Maine. He has
served in both branches of the Legis-
Iaturo and in 1909 was Speaker of the
Maine House of Representatives.

Asked for Ticket
Miss Chatto. who was born in Blue
hill, but who has been a resident OF
Ellsworth for many years. called at
the Ellsworth Falls station early
Wednesday and asked for a ticket to
Bangor. The station agent told her
there was no train west until I'LL
O'clock but that one was due from
Bangor in about an hour. Owing to
her deafness the agent had some diff
ficulty in making her understand him.
She finally did so, however, and left
the station, saying she would call on
some friends until train time. Her
movements after this are uncertain,
but It is believed she finally decided
to walk to Ellsworth, using the rail-
road track as highway.
The train which leaves Bangor at 6
o'clock for Washington county points
and Bar Harbor, is due in Ellsworth
at 730 o'clock, but it was late on
Wednesday morning. 1t was in charge
of Conductor Charles Whitehouse and
Engineer Frank Robinson was in the
cab.
Miss Chatto leaves besides her
brother, M. d. Chatto, two sisters, Mrs.
Ralph Condor of South Brooksville,
and Mrs. Eta Billings of Penobscot.
She had many friends here and was
widely and favorably known.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
OF BRAKEMAN THROWN
FROM B. g. M. TRAIN

Old Orchard Me-, March 19.-John
w. Mitchell. %, Of 1874 Glenn street.
somerville, Mass, brakeman on the
Portland division of the Boston &
Maine Railroad, who was snapped
from the top of the .eaboose ON an ex-
ira freight at Old Orchard at 12,f5 AZ.
NJ, yesterday when the emergency
was applied by the engineer, crawled
to the rail after he had regained con-
seriousness and fastened a torpedo, to
it, hoping to stop the midnight limited
express which reaches Portland about
/. Being dazed he fastened the tor
pedo to the rail of the westbound
track instead of the eastbound, and
at the rate of 80 miles an hour.
Some time after Mitchell was able
to get to his feet and staggered to-
ward the passenger station. He was
obliged to crawl a part of the dis
lance as he was too weak to walk. He
had lost his cap and lantern and was
weak from the loss of blood and al
most Frustrated w!th the cold. There
was no night operator at the station
but noticing a light in the Elite Hotel.
Mitchell made his way there where
he aroused F. r. Eliot, the manager,
who directed him to the office of A.
Leor Jones on Staple street. DR..
Jones found the man suffering from a
bad cut in the skull. sprain in the
shoulder and bruises.
Just how long Mitchell lay in the
snow and ice before recovering con-
sciousness he does not know, but he
thinks it was some time, for when he
reached the physicians house he was
numb from the cold. His injuries were
attended by DR.. Jones and the man
put to bed. While the injuries are not
Dangerous they are painful and it
will be a day or two before he can re-
turn to his home in Somerville.
1t was not until the freight reached
Portland that the absence of Mitchell
was found by Conductor Henry Smith
at about 2.15. A train was sent to Old
Orchard TO search for the missing
train man but no clue of his where
abouts could be found. Another rail-
road man came TO Old Orchard on the
Sunrise express and found the hat
lantern ana poor Ol DLOOu Oii lle tiiSh
near the Staples street crossing. Aft
er a time they located Mitchell at the
doctors home. Mitchell says he was
just going down the ladder when the
emergency was applied and he was
snapped from the car to the track.
The train in charge of Conductor
Smith. was running extra from Bos-
ton with about 40 cars. When Mitchell
regained consciousness after being
thrown to the track, he feared he
might die from exposure if he lay be-
side the rails until morning so talk
ing a torpedo from his pocket, he
crawled to the tracks and. as he sup
posed, fastened a signal to the west
bound rail. train running over a
signal torpedo is supposed to stop and
Mitchell thought that when the ex-
press came to q standstill he would
be able to attract the attention of the
trainmen by shouting and they would
take him to Portland.
The mysterious disappearance OF
Mitchell caused considerable sensa-
ton on the Portland division and mes
sages were flying all yesterday morn
ing regarding his whereabouts.
