went references were asked for.
Finally he gave the names Of former
employers and in due time returned
for a decision. Some of the letters
were read to him. in which he was
praised very highly and his work and
loyalty greatly lauded. The old
mans eyes opened wide with surprise
and pleasure as he remarked.

All the details of English methods
for maintaining law and order are
not above criticism, and right now
the London police are receiving it..
Some satisfaction, however. may be
found in the fact that the criticism
is because of their earnestness in
conducting Investigations, regardless
of whose toes they tread upon.
London would seem to have an excel

criticism it is possible to make.

of the Aroostook Association OF Con-
Rregational Churches.

In a group Of letters to the Manu-
facturers' Record, Arthur j. Dunton
of Bath. a member of the class OF
1887, Colby. has the following to say
concerning world prohibttion'
II am more than ever convinced
that absolute prohibition IL the only
sensible and satisfactory way to oeai
with the liquor traffic. ,
"While in this particular locality
we had a very good enforcement Oh
our state prohibitory law before the
advent of national prohibition, II
has made the enforcement OF our
state law a little less difficult ana
more effective to have no leganzeo
sale of liquor in the neighboring
states. although we still have many
miles of Canadian border which mas
to be looked after.
"INorld wide prohibition should be
our aim now, as we'll as the retention
and STRENGTHENING of the present
law, While in many ways we per
haps should not try to interfere WIN
our neighbor's affairs, still when
they interfere with us by sending IN
LIQUOR that causes so much trouble,
It certainly cannot be improper TOT
us to use moral suasion and such In
fluence as we can bring to bear 10
induce other countries to adopt pro-
hibition. At least this Is my view OF
the matter.
Secretary CRUDE B. Cornish OF the
State board of charities and correc-
tons gave an interesting discourse
IN tbe I1riyersalist church at Gull
ford the other evening under the
auspices of the Women's Club OF
Guilford. He spoke particularly OF
children who were taken from par
ents who ill used them and were
given a home and, also on the
Mothers Aid question: He told OF
the percentage of these children
who were normal and sub-normal
the course of treatment they received
and illustrated his talk by pictures
He stated that the appropriations
made by the legislature were insuf-
ficient to do as much as they had
done in the past and asked the Wo-
mans lub to use their influence for
larger appropriation by the legisla-
ture. He also asked for assistance
in sending Christmas presents to
these children. Each child in the home
writes the names of three Christmas
presents which he or she really
wants and it is endeavored to give
each child one of these three pres
ents. Secretary Cornish spoke Of the
difference between the children OF
some of the club members who had
probably twenty or thirty presents
and Of these children who could
have but one which they really
wanted.

The Honest Teacher.

Seven-year-ol Johnny's mother
had given him handkerchief to give
to his teacher as a Christmas present,
but when Johnny was told about it
he curled his lips in scorn and said:
Jaw, mother, I don't want to give
1t to her. She won't let me do nothin'.
It's always Walter and William that
get to do everything. Let them get
her handkerchief. I'll give it to
Miss--(his last years teacher).

PROBE ON COTTON
New York Traders Fear e.
fect on Business During
Any Government Inquiry.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. March 4.-The New
FORK Cotton Exchange, through its
president, Edward e. Bartlett. jr., has
sent kilograms urging Senators from
ne" York to oppose the demand of
senator Smith of South Carolina, in
congress, that the Department Of
agriculture Immediately begin re-
ciassincation of raw cotton stocks in
New York warehouses.
We call your attention to the fact
mat this reclassification lies within
the jurisdiction of the Department of
agriculture, which Is undoubtedly
competent to handle the matter with
out the grave disturbance which
would probably be produced If under
taken as suggested by Senator Smith"
saio the Cotton Exchange chiefs tele-
gram to Senators Copeland and wads-
worth
We earnestly beg that you will op-
pose the passage of any such resolu-
tlon. In supplementary state
ment, Mr.. Bartlett said:
II cotton were reclassified on du-
pllcates, the time consumed might be
at least a month, and IL owners Of
cotton demanded recIassihcation on
reorawn' samples, as they probably
would do-and rightly so on cotton
received in some cases months ago
the time possibly would be stretched
to two months.
Meanwhile the greatest confusion
would prevail and all trading in local
cotton would be thrown into disorder.
The effect on the market would be
most unfortunate"
