The L. S. scout cruiser Cherokee, sta
toned at Bar Har Dor, went on an errand
OF mercy last Wednesday and may be the
means of saving the life OF a little child.
An appeal came to the scommandant there
from Islestord, from Chester Sawyer, the
mail carrier there, whose three yesr-old
daug liter had been seriously burned, her
clothes taking fire while she WIS playing
near the stove. So critical was her con-
dition that hospital treatment appeared
the only means of saving her life. The
Cherokee got under way at once, and al
though encountering considerable ice,
made a quick run to Islesford and back,
arriving at Bar Harbor with the child
Wednesday night, AT the hospital it was
said that the little girl has an even chance
for recovery.

The first American outward bound
troop ship to fall victim of the
German U-boats was the Tuscania,
torpedoed and sunk off the north of
Ireland coast Tuesday night of last
week. The Tuscania was an English
ship with an English crew and con-
voy OF English war craft, and carry
ing airs United States soldiers. To
the splendid discipline and calmness
in the face of danger of the soldiers
and ships crew is due the compare
lively small loss of life, about 1855,
LAT of whom we're United States
troops. Much as the death of these
men is regretted, there is nothing in
the incident to cause panic, and as
a matter of fact, such has not been
the result, but instead deeper deter
mfnation to see the war through.
Viewed dispassionately, the sinking
Of this transport is not surprising;
rather is it surprising that it has
been so long deferred. We have
moved more than a quarter of a
million troops to France, with a loss
so far OF one in 1000. This is the
answer to Germany's boast that the
U-boats would make the moving oil
an American army to France impcs.

Bar Harbor's relief from the ice en-
barge was short-lived. Wednesday the
big government ice breaker plowed her
way across from Bar Harbor to Mt Desert
Ferry, encounIeriug in many places ice
eighteen inches thick. Thursday morn
ing the steamer 5smoset, sent here to re-
place the Pemsquid, brought over mails
and passengers, and started back on the
regular return trip. A third OF the way
across she encountered heavy ice, and
could get no farther. The Samoset is not
a good ice boat. Back she went to Bar
Harbor. The ice breaker, in the mean
time, had gone to Rockland. AS an Illus
tratiou of what she could do as an ice
eater, she was an immense success; as for
furnishing any real relief from the ice
EN- barge, she was failure. Bar Hsrb Dor

Mothers Payday.

The mother has never had one,
Though many year she's toiled,
And the myriad cares OF the household
Her cheeks of the rose despoiled.
She has deIved from early morning
To the setting Of the sun,
And received no compensation
For the faithful service done.
oh, never a day there passes,
But so many things she sees,
She longs to buy for the loved ones
Some playthings a child to please,
Orr necktie new for father,
II only she had the pelf,
But mother, with all the wishing,
Had never a thought Of self.
All say she can share their wages,
n only she'd think to ask;
Yet to seek her wage like beggar,
She cannot stoop TO the task.
That mother shall never go needy.
with emphasis all say,
But, oh, II with all their planning,
They'd plan for her own payday.
For why should she feel her wages
MusLeome like charity.
And she an account must render,
Whatever her spendings BET
On a secret trip to the village
She'd like at times to go,
or to suocor some needy ueighbor,
Nor let the home folks know.
| wish that the mighty people
All over this great broad land,
Would demand lawful payment
For work Of the mothers hand;
For where the ma ter OF wages
To her own home folks is left,
She is OF her well-esrned money,
More often than not bereft.

Ex President Roosevelt last week
underwent an operation for assesses
in his ears, and for a time was in an
extremely critical condition. While
his condition is still serious, and his
physicians will not say he is out of
danger, he seems to be on the road to-
recovery. His illness serves to en-
phasize the place of Col. Roosevelt as
one of the greatest living Americans.
No man has been more Loyalty ad.
mired than he; no man more royalty
abused. Yet friend and foe alike
recognize his greatness. The New
York Herald, which at times has not
been gentle in its criticism of
the former President, says.
There will be rejoicing throughout
the length and breadth of the United
States over the news that Mr.. Roose-
Welt is apparently on the road to re-
covery. Without distinction of class
or avocation or partisanship, without
thought of the animosities engendered
by controversies in which he has fig-
ured, Americans respect, have faith in
and admire Theodore Roosevelt. May
there be for him many years of con-
tinued usefulness to the people to
whom he means so much and to the
land he and they Lowell"
