1.-THE Captains Wife," by w.
Clark Russell, a tale of a sea voyage
in. which a mans desire for another
mans wife plays an important part.
The story deals with Captain
Mostyn Of the Dealman, a seven
hundred and fifty ton full rugged
sailing ship which has been charter
ed by an insurance company to re-
cover a matter of 10000 sovereigns
in gold which was lost by the
foundering of a steamer at Staten
Island: and with his wife who ac-
companies him on the voyage.
Just married, she can not bear to
be separated from him and in spite
of the refusal of the company
which chartered the Dealman. to
allow her to go on the voyage, she
hid herself away until the ship had
sailed.
Mr.. Benson. representing the in
surance company and Mr.. Dipp, a
deep sea diver, are also passengers
on the ship which takes some
time to make the trip from London
to Staten Island. Several interest
ing incidents occur during the
voyage, but the real adventure
comes after the ship has safely
reached Staten Island. although the
recovery Of the gold IL comparative
ly easy.
Benson who was, a gross man,
well satisfied with Mr.. Benson,
although very circumspect In his

Seems to me. we ought to meet
some other animals" said the Circus
Elephant. But before he could say
more. the little rabbit answered:
'Tm so glad to see again the friends
I made here last week that I've al
most forgotten there is anybody
else"
1--WE might look in at Mrs. Zebra
and her baby colt" suggested the
polite old elephant.
Well, although Mrs. Zebra was
very polite, Mr.. Zebra wasn't. On,
dear me, no. He kicked up dread
full row, snorting and braying and
behaved in a most unfriendly man
ner.
perhaps he doesn't like my jack

stripes like Chippy Chipmunk's-
maybe he doesn't like checks."
Just then the baby colt zebra came
up to the fence. and pressing close
whispered something in the bunny
boys ear. Now. what do you sup
pose it was? Why. you'd never guess
If gave you until the S0th Of Feb

bit. ~ must be careful not to do any
thing wrong. But what do you like

"We-l-l," hesitated the little baby
colt zebra, latter you like dear I'm

Big Brown Bear is nice, too. So is
the Yellow Dog Tramp. Oh. dear,

Maybe pretty soon he'll come to
visit all you animals" said the little
rabbit. "Just wait till tell him all
I've done" And then, goodness me.
all of a sudden that dear little rabbit
gave a hop. skip and jump. and
hoped right into tomorrow's story.

the roads, where they would
render the most service and without
being dependent on the support of
all the people. AS conditions are,
however, the problem is not so easy
OF solution. Effort must be made
to have the burden bear proportion
ately to service rendered, to insure
permanent, constructive policy
which may not be upset by political
exediency. to protect both the pres
emit and the future, to do that which
will be most serviceable, as only
part may be done.
There are many things to con-
slider. The amount of money we
would like is only one of them; in
deed our judgment on that point
would be more enlightened If we
knew how we were to get it and
from what sources it should come.

WHERE GET THE MONEY

Inquiry comes to this Office, re-
ferring to the endorsement by the
directors Of the Maine Automobile
Association of bond issue Of
fifteen million dollars by the State
and the expenditure of three mil
lion dollars for a bridge across the
Kennebec at Bath; Where Is the
money to pay the interest on those
bonds and for the maintenance of
the highways that are built copfng
from?" The inquirer did not ask
about money for any sinking fund
to retire the bonds, perhaps assum-
ing we would leave that to the COM
ing generations.
Such report as we have Of this
meeting does not reveal any ex-
preston of opinion by the Associa-
tion on this very important feature.
It would seem they have overlooked
something. 1t is comparatively easy
to say what we ought to have, at
least there are a lot of folks doing
1t, and rather hard to tell just how
We may get it, at least there are
few willing to declare themselves on
that point. We think the Maine
Automobile Association should and
formulate a few suggestions along
that line. These might come in
handy for the next Legislature.
AS a general proposition it is be-
coming quite clear that a State
wishing to have its full share in the
trafiic of the country. and in all
that which this gives rise to. is COM
PEELED to provide good roads II it
would attain its desire. 1t is equally
clear that It must provide for keep
ing those roads in good condition or
the last plight will be worse than
the first. But, while all share In
directly in this, all do not share in
like degree.
It would be practically impossible
to build state roads to remote
places of the line of heavy trafic,
a. much 90 as to attempt to pro-
vide them with all the facilities Of
the dcnsely populated community,
yet these remote places may be aid
cd In securing q better share in the
benefits Of the main thoroughfares.
The problem would be simpler II
some autocrat were given the
authority and the money to build

PROTECT AGAINST CAR
THIEVES
CAR

Wits all over the world are sub
jected to strain to devise methods
whereby automobile thieves may be
outwitted. 1t Is said that America
Is behind some Of the foreign coun-
tries, as she undoubtedly Is with
regard to checking other crimes.
In London quarterly licensing and
display of license certificates are
required. and the officials also keep
a log book in which the name of the
first owner of each registered car
is catered together with list of
subsequent owners.
In this country people would chafe
under such requirements but they
better chafe IL there be no other
way Of checking crime. And these
are not all the requirements the
situation demands. assuming some
way be not found to improve on
those previously mentioned. There
is the matter Of liability insurance,
which IL insisted upon would tend
to check car thefts.
Under existing conditions a rattle
brain with money enough for the
first instalment on any old car may
sally forth to cut a swath In the
motor world-and sometimes it is
the swath of the grim reaper. None
may collect damages from him be-
cause he has nothing. This should
not be. Every car should be ac-
companied by liability insurance to
protect the public in some degree
for the damage it may do. II there
were such requirement in motor
dom this would contribute to the
detection of car thieves.

So the stockholders had a re-

that the receiver was crooked.

Mother Shipton's Prophecy

The following, which is known as as
Mother Symptoms Prophecy" was first
published in 1883, republished in 1641
and again in 1875. 1t will be noticed
that all the events predicted in it ex-
cept the last two lines have come to
pass:
Carriages without horses shall go;
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thoughts shall fly,
In the twinkling of an eye;
Water shall yet more wonders do:
How strange, yet shall be true.
The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no horse or ass be at his side.
Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in water shall float
AS easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and shown
In land that is not known.
Fire and water shall wonders do,
England shall at last admit a Jew
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
