REFERRING TO THE "BoWDoIN"

HOW many OF those VINO may READ
about the good ship "Bowdoin" com
ing to anchor in Wiscasset harbor
after an absence of fifteen months
among the Arctic foes. Will appre-
ciate the full sicnificance of her
name. the singularly happy applica-
ton of it to this craft built Of
staunch timbers and enduring ma
terlal from keel to top-mast, and
manned with like enduring fibre?
Remember it was at Bowdoin Col
lese that Teary dreamed of conquer
ing the Businesses Of the frozen
North. It was when student at
Bowdoin that lie trained himself to
withstand rigors of climate. resolved
in his mind that he would be fit for
the undertaking he was determined
upon. 1t might he we'll to remember
that he found nothing in his life at
Bowdoin, which weakened his re-
solve: rather he found there such in
spiration that his college and his
fraternity We're in his thoughts when
at last he stood on the top of the
world and It was their colors along
with the colors of his country which
he there set up.
Later there were two Bowdoin
boys who underwent hardships at the
peril Of their lives in exploring Lab
rador. and then came the sturdy,
resolute Mac MILAN. trained at Bow
doin and in exploring under Peary,
Yes. the good ship "Bowdoin' is
rightly named.
All this. too. may be a suggestion
that somewhere in the Bewdoin
training has been found that which
fits hardy. resolute men possessed
OF vision and a will to accomplish
to overcome dIf1iculties.
1t is. especially at this time when so
many seem to have forgotten the old
saying about there being no royal
road to learning. when educators are
trying to susar-coat the educatioal
pellets and assume the child may be-
come a scholar unconsciously, it IS at
such time rea ssuring to believe
that some OF our higher institutions
Of learning have not been led astray
by these false doctrines.
At the opening Of Dartmouth Col
lege this week President Hopkins
asked the students to recognize the
fact that all education is self-ac-
auired. dependent on self effort: that
this cannot be divorced from what is
eNaetinx and dificut. He reminds
them that 1.-The great reservation
which an anxious world feels today
in regard to college men is not in re-
gard to their culture or their social
polish. but in regard to their STAN
ira,--mental. moral and spiritual"

With the breath of blossoms sweet;
And the brooks begin to babble

Then the blood begins to quicken
In each eager, tinilling vein.
AS we linger down the pathways.
In the lovely State Of Maine.
The Summer brings us blue skies
And sunshine warm and sweet;
With green things all about US
To shield us from the heat.
There never were such apples,
Such fields of golden grain.
Such paradise of good things
AS at Summertime in Maine.
Then the Fall with all the beauties
OF woods and hills and shore,
With more alluring colorS
Than most mortals ever saw.
The barns are full: the home folks
Still smile at Summers Wane,
For fortune surely blesses
Just everyone in Maine.
And Winter? Why the landscape
Is a gem-strewn carpet white;
With the snow-capped pines uplifting
Their fingers to the night.

MIDDLESBORO, Ky.,-"All 7

and maybe buy stamp when I want
it."
Gustave Salomez shifted his hat to
the back of his head, leaned back in
his chair and thought.
Before people found out that I
had a million dollars coming they
wouldn't think of me"-his ewes grew
moist-'hardly pay any attention, but
now they just poster around. Cad,

I've hid for thirty-two years and.
II people don't quit this abothering me

Salomez, II, former inmate of the
Middlesboro poor farm, has fallen heir
to a million dollars worth of French
and Canadian real estate. Positive
Identification was established through
peculiar V-shaped tattoo under his
arm-a family mark. He has been
known here as Steve White
Sure, knew I had it coming all
the time, says Salomez. But ah l don't
want it. | think more of real friends
than all the money on earth.
"Old John Brown, over there is
the only friend | ever had, and he nod
ded his gray, wrinkled head in the
direction of an old negro who has
been his inseparable buddy for twenty
five Years.
Yes-s-s, trembles the old negroes
voice, Steve here had been living with
me for three whole years When I see
he was getting old and couldn't get
around much, well-what's mine WIS
his.
You know it's like if a man goes
long and makes friends with a dog
and the dog follers him home and you
take him in and give him something to
eat, well-you aren't going to have
the heart to kick out the dog. What's
the use of living without heart?
| met Steve when he was across
the street painting, years ago. He came
in the store where I was working and
got something and we talked a while
and we have been friends ever since.
He's always welcome at. my house.
Then they come and took him away
to the poorhouse
But when Middlesboro heard Steve
could have a million for the asking
they let him leave the poorhouse and
he went back to John Brown.
He never said anything about his
business, Brown continued He talked
of Canada but never until this thing
come out did he show me the mark
under his arm.
Never talked of his money, but boy,
if I had just thousand dollars I'd
think I had all the money they was in
the world"
