May, Lady May,
Show unto US that winter SHOWS
Were not in vain.
Teach us through pain.
That never blooms one fragrant rose
Without the rain!
We love thee fair. o Lady May!
Winter to spring,
Birds on the wing
The very breath of God today
You bring, you bring!
Bright. Joyous. laughing Lady May!
We love thy face
So full of grace,
We drink thy beauty fresh and gay.
Thy charms embrace!
Life never dies, May. Lady May!
1t comes with thee
To flower and tree.
No glory bursting from the clay
Can cease to be!
One, one are we with life today,
One with heavens blue
That seems so new.
One with great God, o Lady May
One, one with you!

From more or less celebrated apiar-
lists in the vicinity of East Orrington
and Fields Pond, comes the glad in
formation that the honey bees in hives.
the native black bees, the Italian,
Cyprlans and other varieties have come
through the past winter in a fine heal
thy condition. The keeping Of bees for
profit here in Maine has long passed
the experimental stage, and our farm
ers are beginning to realize generally
that one need not go to California or
the Sandwich Islands to make money
by the work Of honey bees. There Is al
ways a demand for pure honey, and
now that the wintering Of bees has
been reduced to a science all admit
that there is good living in the bust
ness if properly followed.
Instances Of phenomenal growth in
the direction OF the development of
Maine cities are to be seen all over
the State. Where a dense wilderness
of timber and underground was the
only property in Millinocket a score of
years ago, town Of 1000 is thriving
now, the water power has been har
messed and put to work, valuation Of
the town is nearly 100000 and the
whole community has been enlivened
and contagious prosperity been spread
broadcast. Thomas Goodall made
Sanford Of today possible and the big
plush mills of the town are the funda-
mentals OF the prosperity which has
come to that community. Rumford in
Oxford county shows an increase of al
most 1000 per cent. in population in 25
years, it is a thriving town and hard
times never annoy the people who live
there. The s. D. Warren plant for
manufacturing paper fiber was estab-
1ished at Cumberland Mills in 1880 and
the bustling little city Of Westbrook is
the result. These examples are mere
ly citations Of what hidden gold mines
are awaiting the prospector in Maine,
who has a good idea and sticks persis-
tently to it in the right time and with
the right spirit.

Those who know the Prince Of Wales
Intimately say that he is as fond Of a
joke now as he was when he was little
boy, and in his nursery days his quaint
sayings were proverbial in the royal
family. The late King Edward. says
Pearson's Weekly. used to tell with great
gusto the following story. The King
asked little Prince Eddie what part Of
history he was then studying.
"All about Perkin Warbeck," replied
His Royal Highness.
"And who was he?" inquired His
Majesty. anxious to test his grandson's
knowledge.
"Oh," answered the prince. he pre-
tended he was the son of q king; but he
wasn't. He was the son of respectable

"The name jitney is interesting in
itself. writes Hugh Fullerton in the
American Magazine. 1t has been used
especially among the negroes and in

Various explanations of the origin Of
the name have been advanced. The
most logical one comes from Col. Will
liam H. T. Shade. of Lake City, Iowa.
Mr.. Shade was for many years a the
atrical. circus and minstrel business
manager and advance agent. He be-
ffeves the word comes from the French
"jetton." meaning q small metal disc.
and now applied to telephone slugs in
France. 1t was used. also, to mean
the small metal discs used as checks
in gambling houses, and the word was
in common usage among the French

SCIENTISTS At WORK
IN FACE Of CANNON
ON EUROPEAN FIELD
(By Associated Press.)

BERLIN, July 21.-The passion of
the anthropologists for prehistoric re-
search survives even in the face of
death on a modern battlefield, as is
shown in reports from the front. Soma
of the German anthropologists in the
army which met the French near Sois-
sons discovered thirty-one graves of
Celtic origin, dating from the fourth
or fifth century B. c., while digging
Entertainments. The ancient graves
were uncovered thoroughly and some
unusually fine pottery, bracelets,
spear-points. and other things were
found with the skeletons.
On the Island of Sylt, off the coast OF
Schleswig- Holstein, some other SOL
der anthropologists made the discoy-
cry of mound which, when opened
up, contained objects believed to date
as far back as 5000 B. C.
Prof. Morritz, of Posen, who has
since been killed in the war, also
turned over to the Koenigsberg Arch
aelogical Society a number Of relics
that were dug up in the eastern thea
ire of the war, some of them dating
back to the time of the Vikings. In
Russia a skeleton on which lay a
stone Ratchet, was uncovered.

Quoted, however, for the committee on

there were in the regular continental
navy Ga vessels, mounting 1912 guns,
while the volunteer private armed feet
outnumbered it with 1850 vessels AMI
$4,000 guns. British vessels to the
number of 1877 were captured and with
their cargoes, were valued at $4,000

of those heroes were not left for pos
terity. The navy won 70 per cent. of
its engagements; the army won forty.
Researches now being prosecuted in

lections of manuscripts to make as
complete as practicable a publication
by the government of the continental

than thirty thousand records have
been found so far, chiefly in Massachu

REVOLUTIONARY WAR
COST LESS THAN A
MONTHS FIGHTING
IN PRESENT CONFLICT
(By Associated Press J

PORTLAND, Ore, July 21.-The
high cost of warning, when the cam
paigns of Washington are compared to
the European conflict, was emphasiz-
ed in the report of the registrar gen
eral of the Sons of the American Rev.
olution at the first days session of the
society's twenty-sixth annual conven-
ton here.
Thomas Jefferson, he said, reviewing
the finances of the revolution, estimat-
ed the cost of the war at an average
of $17,5O0,00O a year. That sum now
is scarcely more than Great Britain S
war cost for single day. The total
cost of the approximately
$14O, 100000 covering period of eight
years, is less than the total cost of
the European war for month.
The committee on Information of
Aliens reported great activity during
the last year in promoting the educa-
ton of the alien population to the adj
vantages of American citizenship.
With various societies and municipali-
ties, the society has co-operated in
establishing courses in civil govern
ment and other subjects tending 10
the enlightenment of those of foreign
birth. The committee pointed out that
of the three million souls which peo-
pied he thirteen colonies. one-fifth
could not speak English, one-half was
of other than Anglo-Saxon descent,
and even now in some of the state the
proportion of foreign born is at great
as thirty per cent.
Detailed efforts to educate aliens to
the allegiance and obligations of
American citizenship were described.
Personal letters have been sent to
more than fifteen hundred judges of
federal and state courts having iuris-
diction over naturalization, urging
that the ceremony of administering the
oath of allegiance be made solemn
and impressive one. 1t is suggested
that on such occasions the presiding
judge or some citizen of high stand
ing in the community address the pres
pective citizens on the Importance of
the act of transferring allegiance from
one nation to another and the obliga-
lions which accompany it. The COM
mittee expressly recommended the
promotion of such meetings as tina.
held in Philadelphia On May 10 last,
when President Wilson addressed sew
eral thousand recently naturalized
Americans and welcomed them to the
privileges Of American institutions.
Much ignorance. the committee re-
ported, had been found among school
children, and even adults, regarding
the constitution of the United States.
In many parts of the country it was
found that fundamental document was
not for sale in ready form. The socie-
ty recently has distributed one hun
dred thousand copies to night schools
and settlements of aliens.

has been preserved and handed down

Missionaries Want German Brothers
Removed From English Colony
Fear They Will Act AS Spies For Kaiser Wilhelm

German, the more. likely is he to share
the spirit of antagonism to Great
Britain which has taken possession OF
his country, and therefore the more
his influence becomes in a country
where wild and mischevious rumors
gain extraordinary currency among
the credulous masses.
1T appears to follow that every
German, especially those who by il
telligence and character have the
geratest influence, should be removed
from all places where it is in their
power to aid our adversaries. sIch
removal is the kindest thing that can
be done for our good German friends
themselves, for it will place them
beyond the reach of strong tempta-
ton. There is nothing harsh or novel
in the proposal that missionaries
should for a time remove from any
country with which their own nation
is at war"
