The Manners of Maine.

1.-The natives" Git is a wonder they
do not call them aborigines) are a
hard, shrewd, humorous, sturdily
democratic race, finding good religion
and good trading so wholly compat-
1ble that the phrase Ito deacon" any
one has an almost sinister significance.
This is, unhappily, the side, and
the only side, that is seen by many
summer visitors. A genuine social re-
lationship is not so easily managed;
sometimes a person may have a
spring and autumn acquaintance and
be cut in full summer by the natives
who may darkly suspect a danger Of
being cut themselves. There is a
code of manners, of course; for exam
pie, If you are carrying food to your
pigs you do not salute a female sum
mer visitor-you are for the m ON ent

race, almost proud the natives; and
they despise style" so much that
they penalize 1t strongly in their bills.
Their liking Is reserved for those
without pretensions-the highest

to say that she was a nice common

The Heavenly Hills of Holland.

The heavenly hills of Holland
How wondrously they rise
Above the smooth green meadows
Into the azure skies!
With blue and purple hollows.
With peaks Of dazzling snow,
Along the far horizon
They march serene and slow.
No mortal foot has trodden
The SUBMITS Of that range,
Nor walked those mystic valleys
Whose colors ever change;
Yet we possess their beauty
And visit them in dreams,
When the rudy gold Of sunset
From cliff and canyon CLEANS.
The old Dutch painters loved them.
Their pictures show them clear
Old Hobbema and Ruysdael,
Van Goyen and Vermeer.
Above the level landscape
Rich polders, long armed mills,
Canals and ancient cities
Float Hollands heavenly hills

same term as used in the war between
the states. Then a conscript was
somewhat on the order Of a convict.

done with Il view of taking only

BRAND THE SLACKERS.

There is one word which arouses
more contempt than any other word
in the world and that word, accord
ing to Senator John Sharp Williams,
Is Stacker" There are many who
knew this before the brilliant Senator
from Mississippi said so; but there
are few, if any, who could nave
dressed up a definition better suited
not only applied it where 1t is COM
monty used but also to those who
are resorting to lying and marrying
and various other devices in order to
fully said sit likewise applies to
legislators who are forgetful of their
duty and who are taking up time
needlessly and uselessly for the pur-
pose of exploiting themselves
A Stacker is by nature selfish. A
Stacker thinks only Of himself. The
Senator from Mississippi has labeled
them correctly. There are slackers
to be found in every walk Of life, and
many in the same sacred chamber
with the gentleman from Mississippi.
They are the men who are too small
to rise above the mire Of petty pol
itics the men who would play the
pernicious game of politics within the
shadow of the judgment seat. They
have been playing politics ever since
that eventful date in Congress when
the nation recognized itself drawn
into a state of war with Germany.
They have been playing politics every
! moment during the last two or three
| months when their time and atten-
ton should be given whole-f eartedly
to the needs of the nation. They are
slackers just as much as the men who
are Formulating lies and hiding te-
hind the skirts of women folk in or
der to avoid service in the army.
This is no time for the Stacker.
| This above all times is the hour for
service. Unless each man gives will
ingly of his time and ability In the
I great cause of the nation he must be

in which to fatten upon the plight

| called to the front the slackers will
remain back to reap the golden har-
vest. While honest, patriotic. enthu-
siastic young men willingly pass up
| all considerations for exemption the
| slackers will lie and steal, if neces-
sary, to give excuses. They will be
found out in time whether they are

be allowed to hold UP their heads

the government came from three ex-

that 1t was proposed to place a tax

asked remuneration in the sum of 20

that he was to be relieved Of any re-
