CAPT. IRA w. TAPLEY.

1t was with great pleasure that we shook
the hand of Capt. Ira W. Tapley on Tuesday
last, upon his return to his former associates
after q .ong continued illness of stubborn and
painful character. 1t is also a source of great
satisfaction to be able to state that he has
entirely recovered his former good health.
Capt. Tapley will in few days return to his
native village of West Brooksville, Maine. to
visit his aged and recently widowed mother
and other near relatives, whose hearty greet
ings will do much toward making him forget
his recent isolation and attendant suffering.
As many of our readers know, Capt. Ira
Tapley is the son of the late Capt. Thomas
Tapley. who was the writer's ideal as a ship
master of the old school, because of his superior
ability. besides having been the first mariner
to teach the writer how to 'reef, hand and
steer; not with the brusquness characteristic
Of those times. but with the gentleness and
patience Of fond father. which kind consid-

MORRILL,.

Sunday, June 7th, there were 120 pu-
pills in our Sunday school, which meets
at 10 a. m. Rev. w. J. Setter gave US
his first sermon on that day and will be
with US during the summer months. His
subject was: "The personal element in
religion" text Luke 8:39, and it was
very able sermon.
The funeral of F. A. Grey took place
at his late residence June 4th, Rev. VIM.
Fletcher of Waterville officiating. Mr..
Grey was one of our most highly respect
ed citizens. He was a Deacon in the
Baptist Church and constant attendant
at Sunday school until accident and in
trinity came into his life. For more
than IS years he was member of Hon.
esty Grange and for several years its
Master. He was always ready for every
good word and work.
The Waldo Co. Veteran Association held
its June meeting in our village, June 9Th
and AZ veterans were present. In spite of
the high, cold wind some of the veterans
and their wives rode more than 20 miles to
be present, andall expressed themselves as
we'll repaid for their uncomfortable ride.
The dinner was partaken of by $50, and
200 or more sat in the church during the
afternoon exercises Our good Morrill,
people did their utmost to make this an
nual occasion pleasant one to our visit
ing veterans and their friends. Worthy
Master Paul and his good wife were es-
pecially active from first to last in pre-
pairing for entertaining and doing the
hard work necessary. The veterans es-
pecially wish to thank DR.. and Mrs. T.
N. Pearson and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Woods, who though neither veterans nor
belonging to our local Grange yet spent
much time and labor in helptulness.

title maids OF honor, only their girdles
we're blue and their hats trimmed with
blue ribbons and brown centered white
field daisies. They carried arm bouquets
of white daisies tied with blue ribbon.
PARASOLS AS WEDDING FAvoRs.
At another smart wedding, IN fash
ionable suburb, the bridesmaids carried
long handled parasols of pink silk, close
ly rolled and with bouquets of daisies
tied on the handles. All the newest
parasols have very long handles and a
variety of fantastic shapes are popular.
The model after the Japanese paper
parasol is decidedly liked and very or
nate shirrings, chiffon trimmings and
even artificial flower garnitures are con-
slderably used, though the majority pre-
fer more conservative types. Last year
the velvet-covered parasol was intro
duced and now we have them covered
with the ribbed golfine cords that are
so tremendously popular for coats aud
wraps. One in emerald green, seen re-
Gently, was finished with hem of match
ing net.
MODISH WRINKLES
White straw hats with velvet crowns
and velvet trimmings are among the very
latest modish wrinkles, and collars Of
starched pique are rivalling the or
candle stand-up styles that are worn on
every side.
Hens of silk or velvet ribbon are too
pretty to be allowed to fall into disuse
on frocks of lingerie or lace flouncings.
The hem is sometimes placed under the
scalIoped edge of the founce, but most
often has the effect of binding. Wide
hens of silk or velvet at the foot of the
narrow underskirt, which is surmounted
by long tunic, are both smart and prac-
teal since they weight the skirt and
keep it fresh looking.
Button trimmings have made their
latest bid for favor on the very fashion
able capes which everyone is adopting
in some of the many types worn. Mill
tary models demand frog and button
trimming, and these are the motif for
many of the best models.

The Oldest Native of New York.

The tercentenary committee has at last hit upon
q device to take our minds back to the beginnings
Of things. They have offered a gold medal to the
oldest native-born resident of the city. Here is
truly antique stuff so far alien to our present
as to give real shock of surprise at reading 1t.
The Oldest native? Shades of the Astor House!
We had almost forgotten that there were such
things as natives.
That is quite the outstanding fact about our old
town 1t is a very local spot. with a decided
character all its own. 1t has the assurance and
customs of age Yet it is as eternay new and
Young as the white tops on this years feminine
boots. Perhaps the constant tearing down of old
buildings and the hustling up of new have some
thing to do with this perennial youth. We have
no andmarks-or, rather, in ten years a struct-
ure sinks back into the rank and veneration else
where put upon a piece centuries old.
But the condition is an affair Of soul as well.
The town looks young and is young. 1t has the
pulse and thrill in business and at play, Of the
youngest race of men just stepped off the young
est planet There are native New Workers, Of
course-lots of them. But one thinks of them as
hardly more belonging to the town than the latest
crop of young hopefuls the smartest lads Of their
respective homes, from Bangor to Seattle. The
natives DO not make New York. Rather, if they
amount to anything, they are gathered up into
the general onsweepmg tide and become just so
many more sons of the day-in the town that,
like Peter Pan, never grows up.

THE PROFESSION OF MOTHER
HOOD
The Teacher Cannot Give Due Atten-
ton to Her Home.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Much has been said for and
against the teacher-mother, but is it
not a very old saying. and one always
accepted as true, that a man cannot
serve two masters? These teacher
mothers are ne exception 20 that say
ing. The proper bringing up of a fam
lily is just as much a profession as is
the efficient teaching of school. Any
real mother will tell you that il u.s..
No one but the real mother knows what
il is TO bring up a family. No one but
she can ever know the time, the heart
aches. the wearied bones and the
worldly cnjoyments Of life that her
family has cost her.
On the other hand, every teacher adj
mits that efficient teaching IS arduous.
How. then. can q woman bringing up a
family devote by far the greater part
of her day and week and month and
year 20 teaching? II she neglects the
school the Board of Education is justi-
fed in getting rid of her If she
neglects her child she is not morally
fit 10 teach the children Of others. For
in that case she robs her child OF that
God-given heritage, Of that heritage
impossible Of substitution, mothers

Our Guarantee InSureS You
Against Loss.

Our position is exactly that OF the insur-
ence company which insures you agains'
loss bv fire. Fires are infrequent, but stili
you want to be insured against them. Inc
Tribune guarantee insures you against loss
bv fraud. deceit or dissatisfaction. II you
voad an advertisement in The Tribune you
can buy the goods offered without a worry
Risk is absolutely eliminated. You get the
goods and you get with them an absolute
undertaking that you will have 100 per
cent satisfaction.
1t is not that you are going TO need our
guarantee often. You may not need your
FIRE insurance policy once in ten years. But
when you do need it you need 1t. The ma
iority Of advertisers are honest and truth
full. They want you to be satisfied quite as
much as we do. The minority of decelttul
advertisers is constantly growing smaller.
The likelihood of a misleading advertise
Inent getting by cur investigators is re-
mote chance. Obviously, if it were not so,
we could not afford to give you our sweep
ing guarantee But if the advertisement
does get by and the advertiser IS one OF the
minority which prefers your cash to your
good will. you get your cash from us.
When the loss occurs. we are there.
You can see that prevention is the basis
of our policy Just as safeguards against
FIRE minimize the risk of fire and make mod
ern insurance rates possible, so our system
of investigating advertisers and scrutiniz-
ing advertisements where the circum-
stances seem TO require it, makes it financial
" possible for us to take on this risk We
are compelled to be alert and careful, The
check on us is automatic. That is why The
Tribunes stand is fundamentally right and
sound.
Thus IN dealing with our advertisers you
are not only protected absolutely against
money loss in the event of dissatisfaction
You buy with the knowledge that the ad-
vertisement has been passed by experts, and
that the chance Of dissatisfaction has beer
reduced to the smallest possible proportions
When you buy you want the goods, moi
your money, however promptly it is re
turned. Misleading advertising causes an
novance. inconvenience. disappointment
even if no money is sacrificed. Our policy
will leave only the long shot, the thOusandtf
chance of trouble.
We prevent loss to the limit Of human
ability. When it comes. we step in ant
take it, cheerfully, promptly; your money
back for the asking
