GOVERNOR CURTIS is FOR 4
WOMAN'S DEFENCE CLUBS

Governor Oakley c. Curtis came out
strongly Thursday in favor Of woman's
defence clubs in letter to Mrs. Lur-
ana Sheldon Ferris Of Old Orchard, one
Of the organizers Of the Woman's De-
Tense Club. Governor Curtis letter is
as follows:
ANY proposition in the line of pre-
pairing the nation for defence, to in
sure proper respect, conducive to
peaceful arbitration of civil or inter-
national difficulties, must be Of the
greatest interest to the women Of the
country.
AS an instrument for promoting
harmony among nations, sanguinary
war seems almost childish in it's con-
ception, but in it's operation it is hut
man.
I'm all wars women have had to bear
large part of the burden. and conse-
quently their influence is Of deeper sig.
nificance in the promotion of adequate
means to avoid such hardships.'

INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS ~
BUSINESS INCREASING

"a total Of s40O policies have to date
come into the offices Of the Industrial
Commission from asserting employees,
said Chairman Eben F. Littlefield OF
the commission Thursday. "Out of 200
of these that have been figured as 70
the number Of employees carried by the
different employers, there is shown
1929 males and 5000 males. total OF
1o9.373 employees covered by industrial
insurance. Out of the 2200 are y en-
ployers who give no estimate, saying
that their number varies so that they
can give no satisfactory estimate.
These concerns are mostly contractors
outside the State, who have taken OUT
policies to cover them for work which
they expect to do in Maine, such as
the setting up of machinery. construc-
ton Of vaults and similar work.
I'd to March Is there have been 1892
first reports Of accidents received by
the commission. OF this number 462
have been received during the first Is
days Of March. There has also been
received during the month OF March
271 physicians reports and 2S5 supple
mentary reports.
The total number Of claims and
agreements that have been received
since the law went into operation the
first day of January up to and includ-
ing March Is, is 29o. 1t is interesting
to note in this connection that for the
first half Of March there have been
SO straight claims for compensation and
104 agreements relative to compensa-
ton. IS of which have been approved
by state Labor Commissioner Roscoe
A. Eddy, who has the approval Of the
agreements. The fashion in which the
work OF the compensation act is in
creasing at the office of the Industrial
Accident Commission is shown by the
fact that out of the 292 claims and
agreements reported 1876 have come in
within the last Is DAYS.
There is at least one claim upon
which a hearing will be ordered. That
is the claim Of Belle NJ Dolley of
Portland, who claims as dependent
to recover for the death Of her father,
William r. Dolley. who died as the
result Of injuries received Jan. Il, at
the Delano planning mills at Portland,
where he was working at rip saw.
A piece OF wood hit him in the abdo-
men and he died from injuries, Jan.
%. The claim is being contested on
the ground that Miss Dolley, not be-
ing minor, must prove her depen-
dency.

Wrapped In his dressing gown and

List was sitting comfortably one eve.
ming in his armchair ready for work
and inviting inspiration. On the floor
above in the apartments Of banker a
noisy musical soiree was In progress
Polonaises had succeeded waltzes and
nocturnes had followed polonaises
when suddenly the door Of the salon
opened and List entered still wrapped
in his dressing gown. The astonish-
ment of the company may be imagined.
With slow steps List walked toward
the piano. and the young key FOUNDER
who was sitting at it quickly left his
place. List sat down at the instru.
ment. carelessly swept his fingers over
the keys as If to prelude. and then sud-
denly he shut down the cover and put
the key in his pocket. And Immediate
ly, with the same tranquil air with
which he had entered. he went out and
returned to his room. where he could
work at his ease.

Her Early Resolutions,

b This story was told by an English.
man who lived century ago. He was
dining out I'm London and sat by lady
whom he did not know. Their CONVEX
sation turned upon early resolutions
and how very seldom they were kept,
and the lady said: well. when I was
a girl made three resolutions-first, I
determined that would never marry a
soldier; second, that j would never
marry an Irishman, and, third. that
would not be long engaged. And all
those three resolutions broke. Whom
do you think l did marry? The Duke
of Wellington! He was a soldier and
an Irishman. and was engaged to him
for twelve years" This was Lady
Katherine Pakenham. 1t was an un-
happy marriage. and the couple mostly
lived apart.

GARBLED QUOTATIONS.
Popular Passages That Are Frequently

Almost everybody who quotes at all
misquotes. Nothing is more common
than to hear:
A man convinced against his Will

This is an impossible condition OF
mind. for no one can be convinced of
one opinion and ut the same time hold
to an opposite one. What Butler wrote
was eminently sensible:
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still.
A famous passage of Scripture is
often misquoted thus: He that is
without sin among you LET him cast
the first stone" 1t should be. Let him
first cast a stone.
Sometimes we are told, Behold, how
great a fire a little matter kindleth,"
whereas st. James said. Behold. how
great a matter a little fire kindleth."
which is quite different thing.
We also hear that "a miss is as good
as a mile" which is not as sensible or
forcible as the true proverb. "A miss
of an inch is as good as mile"
