Here's to the Starry Banner!

And here's to the Great Republic
That has welded her strength with

Her flags in the streets Of LONDON
Her fleets on the Northern sea,
And her sons stand firm in the trenches
To fight till the world IS Tree.
From the lakes to the Mexican border
From Maine to the Golden Gate.
There's drumming and marching ana

Through every giant state.
1t begins at the call of the bugle,
With the sun on the earth wide rim :
And the heart of the Great Republic
Is beating a battle hymn.
The heavens are filed with her eagles
Which circle and soar AID SWING;
Through the windy sky they go whee'-

And in all the ports and rivers,
In building yards and slips,

On the ribs OF er rising ships.

To fight in a war for peace
They shall leave her shores in a thou

To strike till the strife shall cease;
Till the tyrant'S power is broken
BY land and sky and sea,
The last World ConQueror o'erthroWn
And the world at length is free.

the favorable comment that has come
~ the Kennebec Journal on a recent
editorial That the same thoughts
are in the minds Of other editors ana
their readers is proven by such as
the following from Tuesday even
mas Boston Transcript;
Although the striking lasters on

nottned bv the Federal War Labor

hands when they threw down the
tools and materials which were pro-
ducing the shoes our soldiers need in
France They assumed that they
were the sole Judges of the right IN

Now II is undoubtedly true that
Federal pressure should be applied to
men who would rather the soldiers
should go barefooted than themselves
submit TO a perfectly fair arbitra-
ton. but that pressure should not
await the Governments slow official

lar instances. All workmen between

should be instantly and as matter
Of course 1ut in Class /. If that is
what they prefer to awaiting the eX-

The temper OF some of the men
who are striking is illustrated by an
incident AZ Bridgewater. The cut

for whom they worked a weekly wage
Of $1,000. This offer the men re

offer fair or not? No impartial au-

men answer II themselves, as they
might in time of peace, by quitting
their work and endangering the sup

Teddy" visited Camden last Friday
and though he came unanniunced and
very quietly, accompanied only by Mr..
Edward Brandegee, people soon found
he was in town and he was given quite
little reception on the street, says the
Camden Herald.
The two men came across from Dark
Harbor, in a sloop sailed by Wilbur
Mills of this place, arriving here about
II A. NJ. They Immediately started for
Mt. Battle. walking. The distinguished
citizen was soon recognized by many
people and the news spread that he was
going up the mountain. Accompanied
by his friend Mr. Roosevelt climbed Mt
Battle by the steep trail and spent a
short time enjoying the view from the
summit. They came down the noun
tain by the road and walked to the VII
lage. Though it is a climb that tires
many young men Teddy" was as fresh
as boy when he got back to the vii
lage.
They arrived back about O'Clock
and there was quite a crowd on the
street to greet them. He seemed glad
to see everyone, shook hands with all
who came up and had pleasant word
and smile for old and young. He gave
an especially cordial greeting to Amos
Stockwell. a veteran Of the Spanish
war. whom he greeted as comrade.
He seemed as lively and vigorous as
in his younger days and certainly had
lost none of that magnetic cordially
that draws old and young to him wher-
ever he goes.

Some of us can remember distinctly
the story of the grand rush when the
Indian lands in Oklahoma were first
opened to settlers. Well. that's some
thing like the rush last Tuesday morn
ing, when c. W. Shaw opened his blue
berry pasture on Singepole to pickers,
says the Democrat South Paris AL
though the bushes had been drenched
by the shower in the small hours of
the morning, the pckers began to ar
rive soon after daylight and got to
work. and by the time the day was fair
! ly going, it looked like county fair
They came from as far as Lewiston to
the southwark and Greenwood to the
| northward. and they kept coming. By
actual count, not estimate, the number
| there during the day was over GOO, and
| the berries picked amounted to 300
| quarts or little over 81 bushels And
they would have taken more if the
Shaws had not reserved a portion of
the bushes for their own picking. to
supply their customers.

TINT even without further help i could
now get TO the border without very
much difficulty. and when ! got there
! would have to use my own ingenuity
to get through.
II was evident, however. that Huy-
Tiger still had an idea that I might
change my mind with regard to tho
payment he had demanded. and / de-
cided that Il would be foolish to do
anything until he paid me O second
visit.
At the beginning Of my dealings with
Huyllger I had turned over to him
some pictures. papers. and other things
that had on me when ! entered his
house, including my Identification disk.
and was rather afraid that he might
refuse to return them to me.
All day long remained In the house
without a particle Of food other than
'he breakfast Huyllger had brought to
me. From the windows could see
plenty to interest me and help pass the
time away, but OF my experiences
while in that house ] shall tell In de-
tail later on, confining my attention
now to a narrative Of my dealing with
Huyliger.
Tint night he appeared as he had
promised.
"Well, O'Brlen," he asked, as he en-
tered the room where I was q waiting
him, "what do you sayi VIII you sign

day that the amount demanded was 30

who had claimed to be befriendlng me.
endeavoring to make capital out Of my
plight CALLED me so that was deter

could do so in safety or not.
"No. Huyliger." I replied. II have

l shall see that you are reasonably
paid for what you have done, but /
will not accept any further assistance
from you ut any price, and what Is
more want you to return to me at

papers and belongings OF mine which
l turned over to you a day or two
agO."
I'm sorry about that, O'Brien," he
retorted, with show of apparent sin
cerlty. "but that is something cannot

Something told me the man was
