An immigration Lottery

Wild dashes of homesteaders across
the prairie were picturesque feature
Of the opening up of Indian lands to
settlement and the device of letting
the swiftest man win his desired
Homestead served fairly well in lieu
of better way of distributing the free
acres of the West But immigration
to America should not be conducted
under such a scheme-and vet the
ships which hesitated outside the
three mile limit while waiting for Aug
ust !, were jockeying in just the same
way which obtained in the frontier
scrambles. The federal government
is almost running lottery under its
bureau of immigration, for it subjects
immigrants to the vagaries of chance
and accident. At midmonth after q
country's quota of immigrants has
been nearly filed, a broken propeller
blade might prevent hundred. of poor
men from landing in the United
States and cause them to lose their
hard earned savings for no good ca
son except that America is not pro-
perly managing it's flow of immigrants,
which should obviously be controlled

Ostracism-A Ceremony.

0stracism was cermony and polit'
ical move, as well as Punishment in
its original working. The word comes
from the Greek "ostrea," meaning the
shell of an oyster. The shells were used
as ballots. Ostracism was rather com
pliment, as it took 5000 votes to remove
man BY ostracism, and any one being
important enough to arouse the desire
of that many to having him expelled
for a period Of 10 years must have been
of more than usual Importance.
Ten casks were provided on the date
of the voting. one cask for each of the
10 tribes or nstionalities in Africa, and
these casks were placed in the agora.
The voters wrote the name of the man
they wished bandished, and deposited
it. II any man had 5000 votes against
him he was given 10 days TO settle his
affairs, and then he was escorted to the
city limits and told to depart for 10
years. He retained his property in the
city and suffered no other penalty

The Clever Youth.

A young man was walking up and
down the platform of a country rail
road junction, trying to see a car that
had vacant seat. He didn't find 1t,
and, assuming an official air, he walked
up 20 the last car and announced in
stentorian tones: "All out here; this
car isn't going"
There were ordinations loud and
deep from the occupants of the car,
but they all piled out and made their
way TO cars ahead. The smile on the
young mans face increased as he took
possession of a seat and appropriated
another for his luggage.
"Ah," he murmured. Its a grand
thing to be born clever! Now I wish
they'd start"
BY and by the station master put
his head in the door: Are you the
smart young man who said this car
wasn't goingl"
yes" said the clever one, smiling.

grin also, at isn't. The brakeman

yet they say it is a common practice
for motor vehicles to be driven at a
fairly rapid rate through the section
about the city park and to pound their
way up the Washington street hill,
much to the displeasure of those who
come to enjoy the concert. If mo-
florists themselves do not reform their
habits in this respect it may be well
for the authorities to instruct police
men to prevent some persons making
a nuisance of their motor vehicles in
the short period of one hour, which
is devoted to band concerts weekly.
Improved conditions ought TO be
brought about without resort to man
datory provisions.

CALAIS
Splendid Presentation Of "0ld Peabody
Pew"


Every seat taken and persons stand
ing describes the large audience which
gathered in the Old West church in
Calais to see the giving of the play
"Old Peabody Pew" In that unique
and quaint setting, the play was an ar
tistic gem from beginning to end. The
players entered into their parts so
naturally that real dramatie power was
everywhere in evidence. So deeply i'm
pressive was the acting that during
the sacred love scene between the two
lovers reunited after ten years sep
sration, the dropping of pin in that
crowded house might have been heard.
Mrs. Oscar C. Gallagher, who summers
in Calais and who is native of
the town, drilled the cast. So well
was her work done that the perform
ance ranked with real professional
art. So keen was the appreciation
that by urgent request the play viii
be given again Wednesday night, Aug.
10, in the old church at East Calais.

If the real culprit, the man highd'
up, in the outrage connected with the
sinking of the hospital ship Llandovery
Castle by a German submarine during
the war has not been punished, as one
might infer from the report from Ger
man sources, there should be no eessa-
tion of effort until the real offender
is brought to book. Conviction in his
case would not sbsolve the two men
already found guilty of crime in CON
nection with the sinking of the Liam
dovery Castle but would tend to round
out the case with greater degree of
justice to all concerned The offense
is one of the worst ever recorded in
history. A hospital ship ought to be
immune from attack; international
