from time to time to hold in the var

costumes of Provincial, Colonial. 18th

Mr.. Reynolds feels that the matter
of preservation has never been pre-

and it is this means. partly. which
he would employ to stimulate their
enthusiasm. Newspaper clippings
dealing with ancient buildings or

ION A HoME.LiKE INN"

Tribute to "A Home-Liks Inn" II
the theme which Arthur G. Staples
discusses after his inimitable and
fascinating fancy in = recent issue
Of the Lewiston Journal. A right
good flavor permeates the whole
article so a nibble from it may con-
vey some conception Of its pleasing
quality.
TN my rounds" writes Mr..
Staples, "here and there are various
taverns where I like to stay. There
Is something about them that seems
home-like; rare of welcome; a flavor
of the old English inns. around
which hang the romance of the past
and their mellowed memories. They
are like old well-built furniture.
One OF these is the Old Augusta
House which Is not olo except in
flavor OF the sweet old past. This
80 years old. One evening in
January. 1899, they dedicated it with
dinner where 160 sat down and
old chronicles say the evening was
spent in great glee.' have no
doubt. For Augusta was looking
forward to its first session of the
legislature in town, and this hotel
had been built for 1t the preceding
summer. Moving the legislature to
Augusta from Portland meant a lot
Of housekeeping and Augusta al
ways tried to be q good old
fashioned host"
The writer tells of the reconstruc-
ton of which Charles s. Hichborn
was the moving spirit, Of his first
experience there half a century ago
and of scenes he has there witnessed
and heard.
"Today-well! I have tried to say
it is both modern and traditional.
l have tried to say that 1t is both
as new and fine as any hotel in the
land and yet old enough not to be
new" in the sense Of modernity. 1t
has the flavor of absolutely settled
convictions. People really live here.
Here Augusta dances and here 1t
comes away from town to the
sweeter remoteness of its purlieus,
to rest and have change and see
the rest Of the world. There Is no
red-tape in its management and
never has been. You can't blow out
the gas-because there is none. You
don't have to ring for hotwater as Of
old, because 1t is in every room."
But you can want to come again
and that's the happy impression "A.
G. S." leaves with the reader.

SHOULD MAKE FULL USE OF 1T

1--WE know that public health
work definitely diminishes sickness
by prevention and we know that
public health work actually extends
the living days Of the individual"
writes Secretary Thurber of the
Maine Public Health Association
and the annual report bears out his
conclusions.
This should be all the inspiration
required for public support, for CO.
operation. 1t will be, assuming that
we live up to our convictions.
Experience is evidence, however.
that we need spur. The activities
Of this Association afford this. 1t
will be the part of wisdom to make
use Of it. Reading the report one
understands how enthusiasm is
born of such convictions. The
secretary and officers of the As
sociation appear to have it. En-
couragement at least Is ours to give
and there should be no hesitancy
in the giving.

1.-The Voyage of the Arrow" by +.
Jenkins Hams, author of Bahama
Bill "The Windhammers," and
other stories; illustrated by II. c..
Edwards.
A thrill in every chapter and a
story that draws the readers in
terest like a magnet! This is the
narrative as related by a rough and
plucky sailorman, First Mate Gore,
the hero of many an adventure in
fiction. Speaking for himself he
says: IF l offend, l crave pardon
for my knowledge is only that of
the sea and my manners are ocean
bred"
AS first mate on merchant vessel
sailing for Hong Kong, he finds the
ocean paths for that particular
voyage beset with difficulties. The
climax is reached when the ship Is
boarded and captured by the
criminals aboard an English prison
transport used for carrying convicts
from England to the outlying
colonies. The crew of the good ship
Arrow puts up plucky fight against
great odds. but Is defeated by the
convict gang who had overpowered
the guard on the prison ship by
sheer force of numbers. In the
fight the captain of the Arrow is
killed, and after the capture of the
Arrow other members of the crew
are forced to walk the plank while
the second mate is set adrift in an
open boat.
Gore. the first mate, and Brown,
third mate on the Inflated ship, are
forced into an agreement to navi-
gate the captured ship, the Arrow
TO the coast of Patagonia. Romance
is found in the story in the love of
the first mate for the niece of the
captain of the Arrow, who with her
mother are on the cruise when the
ship is taken by the convicts.
/ With a keen knowledge of tricks
of the ocean-bred men, First Mate
Gore heads the Arrow for a British
gunboat which, in the distance, the
convicts think to be a merchant
tcat which they can capture for
booty. Miss Waters, the niece of
the captain of the Arrow, and the
two mates of the ship are rescued
the convicts are rounded up in the
fight and are made to pay the pen
atty for their crimes.
The story, filled with the SAVIOR of
the sea. should be on the book
shelf of every lover of ocean yarns.

"Judse Not Lest Ye Be Judged"
Editor KeRpebec Journal
1t was with a great deal of sur
prise that / read the letter of a Mr..
G. Rogers Of Litchfield in your paper
this morning in regard to Gordon
Smell of Gardiner. From the tone or
the letter the average person would
place q wrong Interpretation upon
the home life of the parents of this
boy. AS a matter of fact I have per-
sonally known the parents Of this
them to be God fearing, Christian
people, highly respected in their home
city, who have endeavored in every
way to bring up their children and
guide them in the proper way; and
exercised that happy home influence
so essential to the receptive minGs
of growing children. If the boy came
under the influence of others I think
1t rather out of place to judge the
parents or schools of Gardiner;
which by the way are among the very
best with instructors who work to-
gether to exert the proper influence
upon the pupils intrusted to their
care. l agree in every respect with
the views of Mr.. Purves in his re-
cent letter published in your paper.
A few kind words spoken at the right
time will sometimes change the whole
current of a persons life. And in
stead of some interested person trac-
ing the ancestors of this family I
think it more fitting that some in
terested person would extend the
Christian spirit of sympathy and
kindness to these parents and sister;
who in their great trouble are de-
serving of that kindness and SYM
pathy. That can be and is their right
tul due.
Respectfully.
