THE Boy Chemist" by A. Fred
erick Collins, author of The Boy
Astronomer" With frontispiece and
liz text illustrations.
This is an intensely interesting
book of very great practical value.
The learned author has presented In
simple form the great facts of the
elements that make up our world.
and shown how they combine in ma
ture and the arts. A young lad can
easily produce wonderful results by
following the experiments so clearly
described. and no one is too old to
be interested or to learn much that
may be new. or at least previously
unthought Of. All apparatus Is as
simple as possible, and may be found
at home, constructed by a boy him
self, or readily and cheaply pur-
chased. Very important is the con-
slant attention given to safety for
the young experimenter and no one
need hesitate to allow boy to fol-
low this book. 1t can give an ex-
tended practical education in itself.
and most valuably supplement school
work. OF the many books of its
kind, no other is SO complete or so
entertainingly helpful. The great
number of excellent illustrative
drawings are a feature of marked at
ira ctiveness and value.

Because Of a cerise bathing girl

you want little child to be crushed
to death or manned for the rest of
its life?" and the friend who owns a
poster-less automobile launched into
an argument against diving girls
thin and fat, advertising stickers of
a travelling salesman's house, po-
litical ads and the like.
1T wouldn't take a very big diving
girl on your windshield to hide a
scurrying little tot not so far from
your front wheels. What's II all
coming to? Are we turning our au-
tomobiles into personal advertising
agencies, like the advance cars OF
the circus?
IN Franklin county. a few Sun
days ago, we passed, in cur humble
Ford, a huge Limousine, bearing q
New York license and filled with
summer folks. But Of all the idiotic
arrangements. Stretching from the
cap Of the radiator to either side of
the Windshield, and waving in the
breeze, for all the world like the sig
nal flags on a regatta bound yacht,

and sizes. Maybe they signalled the

We are informed that dentists in
this city have received a circular
letter from a self-appointed commit
tee from among their number, an
nouncing to a waiting world that a
vote for Brewster is a vote for in
tolerance.
1t seems that like announcements
from manufacturers Of h-brushes
and dental pastes have not yet been
received. They may come later.
Well. we suppose dental practition-
ers are required to know how to ad-
minister laughing gas, so perhaps
it is comprehensive that some OF
them-a very few it appears-are
practising on a patient public. In
fairness to all concerned, however, it
should be added that we have re-
ceived nothing to indicate that the
great majority Of that worthy pro-
fession are not attending to their

Boulevard at Portland for which he
worked and planned and which bears
his name. The site for the memorial
is ready and the order was sent out
yesterday in order that the founda-
ton can be laid before cold weather
and the corner stone placed the last
of October or early November. The
board OF trustees report that they
have on hand $6367.03 and must have
about $4,000 to complete the work.
and they intend to ask the assistance
of the citizens OF Portland and
friends throughout the states of
Maine and Massachusetts, in raising
the remainder Of the fund necessary
for the erection of this memorial
which they believe will be a great
addition to the city and will do much
in encouraging the citizens Of Port

stand is about SOC by 100 feet. The
granite base will be 36 by % feet
and will set about 80 inches above

But they continue saying 1t. con-

They are saying the election on

while from the Democratic press all
over the land may be found evidence
to the contrary. -.
They are saying he Is unfit because
OF his religious belief. the very atti-
tude against which they protest. and
Notwithstanding his legislative rec
ord disprcves their contention.
These are some of the things they
are saying, which are not true.
Here are some Of the things they

Is giving Mr.. Brewster his loyal sup
port and complete endorsement.
That Mr.. Brewster IL always found
willing to vote as he talks.
That he has reason to be proud OF
his record as a Legislator
That he has been before the people
Of Maine In the limelight for several
months and has so conducted himself
as to command respect.
That when the. fortunes Of the
primary seemed against him he
showed q sportsnanlike spirit.
That he has never resorted to
abuse though the constant target Of

That he stands upon the Republic

Quibbling and is entitled to the sup

Is just to hop in"

replied the old gentleman rabbit, and
seating himself on the front seat. h
gave the horn hoax or two and
then away like comet he new.
Beg pardon, I mean away he drove

BY and by, after a while, and near
y a mile. he stopped before the

saleswoman, a nice little duck, to
show him some blue ribbons.
What are you going to do with
them?" she asked. These narrow
cnes are for babies; these big, wide
ones for ladies'
Can you tie up bobbed hair with
them?" asked the dear. perplexed old

NO, indeedy," answered the lady
duck, with smile.
Dear. dear" sighed Uncle Lucky.

about a little girl whose Johnny had
gone to the fair to buy a bunch of
blue ribbons to tie up her bonny
brown hair"

the lady duck, Il guess she had long
curls."

POOR Uncle Lucky. Maybe I'd bet
ter buy Miss Mousie a lollypop."
and he took out a carrot cent and
laid it on the counter.
Then, hopping out with the tiny
paper bag in which the lollypop was
safely hidden. he climbed into the
Luckymobile and turned off toward
home, wishing that Miss Mousie had
long curls so that he could have
bought a bunch of blue ribbons to
tie up her bonny brown hair. And

happened after that.
