WITH THE COMING OF DAWN
is Not as Beautiful In the City as In
the Country, But II Brings
Another Day.

Dawn comes softly and pleasantly
over the country fields, and il it loses
something of it's charm through ia
miliarity, it is most friendly and per-
haps most appreciated there. II the
hills the dawn comes gayly. stopping
behind each peak to make itself more
beautiful, scattering color everywhere
and playing with its own reflection in
the deep waters of the lakes.
In the city streets the dawn comes
swiftly and bravely-perhaps because
the night is ugly there and so deter
mined to stay. Dawn in the city streets
is not so pleasant as dawn in the coun-
try fields, and it is not so young as
dawn in the hills. It is finer and
stronger. 1t is awesome, but 1t is reas-
surfng, too.
Perhaps it is only the uninitiated
who feel the terror and the fascination
of the city streets at night. Perhaps
the initiated know that the fascina-
tion is not true and the terror not real.
Perhaps they are more fascinated and
more afraid than anybody. The unini-
tated do not understand.
They wonder why there are so many
people in the streets; why that old
man stands alone on the corner;
where that woman and the two chill
dren are going; where all the automo-
biles come from; why, with so many
people and machines in the street, is it
all SO strangely silent?
It Is the hour before dawn, and
everywhere the earth lies quiet. The
night street Is silent as though
ashamed before the day. The young
men loafing on the corner hush their
profane quarrels, and the two women
on the curb speak in whispers. The
uninitiated wonder about those WON
dressed. sitting on pile Of newspa-
pers; the other large and blonde, with
bare head and coat thrown about her
shoulders, sitting on the curb below.
1t is no longer dark. Neither is 1t
light The night still hides between
the high, empty buildings. A pigeon
croons wistfully above the street, its
voice rising to fuller note as it feels
the breath of the dawn. Strangely
enough other bird voices break the ST.
lence. The weary men and women on
the sidewalks are stirred by the same
songs of welcome that are sung in the
fields and the hills. The birds are al
ways ready for the dawn. And it comes
swiftly and bravely into the city
streets.
The first rays reach the tallest
buildings and the night scurries up the
alleys and down into easements The
owl car blinks its one eye sleepily and
rattles away. 1t is not beautiful
dawn. The faint flush on the patches
of the sky is all that is left of the color
1t threw away in the hills. 1t looks
upon too many ugly things to be gay.
Perhaps 1t brings too much work and
worry with 1t to be pleasant. Never
theless it makes the birds sing and 1t
brings another day.-Indianapolis

The Iris In History.

The iris was long centuries ago
adopted by Louis TX the gallant
young crusader, as the emblem of his
house. 1t became thereby 'the flow
er of Louis" which was corrupted
into "Fleur-de-lis." The iris, or blue
flag, is really meant when one speaks
Of the lily of France. The iris Is
plant that insures its life. In its large
rootstocks 1t lays up endowment In
surance in the days Of plenty. SO that
when the earth Is chill, cold and in
hospitable its savings will provide
against need.

BRUCE ISMAY, RECLUSE

There is one man in the British
isles, at least, to whom the memories
of the Titanic disaster are a dread
and ever present reality. That man
is Bruce IsInay. He was managing
director of the White Star line at the
time Of the Titanic disaster, and was
among those saved when the liner
sank.

He is tragic figure whom care and
premature age have marked for their
own. A great part of the year he
passes, oftentimes alone, in Costelloe,
one of the most remote, most unfre-
quented and desolate spots on the
west coast Of Ireland. Here his sole
employment is fishing for days and
weeks on end, occasionally with
friend, or perhaps two, but for the
greater part of his time accompanied
only by his servant.

cOttagers around. He found them

The novel falls into one Of four
classes, as 1t deals with romance.
with life, with ideals, or as, lastly, 1t
takes the shape of work Of art pure
and simple. OF the great novelists Of
the last century, Scott, Taackeray and
George Eliot stand for the first three
types. For the fourth we look In
vain in that period. Mr.. Hardy, who
embodies It as to the manner born,
is of our own generation; and here
the name which at once occurs to us
for romance is that Of Robert Louis
Stevenson, for life that Of George
Meredith, and for ideas that of Mrs.
Humphrey Ward. The divisions, OF
course, overlap.

WORKING HIS WAY UP

At the 1915 commencement exer-
cises Of Columbia university Ensign
Louis Randolph Ford, U. 8. N, re-
ceived the degree of master of arts.
That was only one incident in the
determined fight this young naval
officer Is making to achieve his child
hood ambitions, which ambitions, 1t
may well be, do not stop short of the
insignia of a rear admiral.
AS a barefooted lad in Texas,
where he was born thirty-two years
ago, Louis Ford made up his mind to
enter the navy. but his parents were
not able to send him to college and
the influence to obtain an appointment
to the naval academy was lacking so
at the age of fourteen Louis went to
work on Sabine river tugboat, and
three years later became an appren-
tice In machine shop. In two years
more he was full-fledged machinist
and enlisted as such in the navy.
Starting in at Mare Island, he worked
his way steadily I'm to the rank of

STEAMER NOTES. The fine weather last
week caused quite an increase in boat travel
and nearly every night the steamers of the
Eastern Steamship Corporation sailed from
Boston for Maine ports with every state
room sold. The turhiners Belfast and Cam
den on the Boston-Bangor route have had
full passenger lists as usual. They have all
sorts of conveniences, are we'll equipped with
every safety device and are protected by wire
less. The Bangor Commercial reports that the
tide of steamship travel is beginning to turn.
From the middle of June, when Names sum-
mer population began to seek the seaside re-
sorts, up to the present. the bulk of travel has
been from Boston to the east, and it is still
heavy in this direction, but from now for the
next few weeks the call for reservations indi-
cate that there will be plenty of travel both
ways. and the last Of August, with the first Of
September. will find the big turbiners carrying
capacity passenger lists on their west bound
trips. taking the vacationists home. Calvin
Austin, receiver for the Eastern Steamship
corporation, was in Bangor last Friday, Mr..
Austin comes to Maine each year on an inspec-
tion trip. and had been In BluehiIl, where he
looked over the new wharf that the corporation
had recently put in there. He had also been
over the Bluehill end Mt. Desert lines of the
corporation. He returned to Boston by the
evening train.
