It (lid not take Judge Gray of Dela ware a long time to put an end to the absurd rumor that lie would run as vice-presidential candidate on the same ticket with litvyan. Judge Gray Is not that kind of a Democrat. l _- -i,r __ Mexico is too respectable a member of the sisterhood of nations and has made too good a record in the past generation to spoil it all by imitiating its little neighbors on tlie south by go ing into (lie revolution business. The investigators have discovered that the Merry Widow hat is really nothing new after all. but that the style prevailed many generations ago. Probably some investigator will next tell the world that Eve herself was the original Merry Widow. Evidently there are tricks in Ihe sale of automobiles Just as there lias always been In horse trading. A few days ago a Boston gentleman bought an auto mobile of which the price had been marked down to $‘.’iio only to lind a lit tle later that the machine would go only down hill. In speaking of the proposed Of'9-foot sky scraper to be built in New York, the New Yolk Sun declares that “a view of 8n miles” will he obtained from Its summit, whereupon a scientist rises to remind the Sun that the visible horizon at a distance of 1000 feet is Id miles awey. Since he was first appointed to the bench over a score of years ago, Mr. Taft has never left any one of the half dozen responsible positions lie has held except as lie lias resigned to accept a higher position. He has just resigned his position as Secretary of War and the country will see to it that lie is allowed to keep up his habit of going higher. Says the New York Tribune, “The proposal to surmount graves with glass headstones enclosing photoghaphs of the deceased purposes to add a new ter ror to death and an added melancholy to the graveyard.” If the editor of the Tribune thinks there is anything new In this idea he should take a ramble some day through almost any old cem etery in this section. Half a century or so ago the fashion was in vogue of placing daguerreotypes or ambrotypes in little niches made for the purpose in headstones, sometimes sealing them ir behind glass and sometimes leaving them more exposed. In many of th( old cemeteries throughout the eountrj towns of Maine fhere are numerous gravestones of tiiis kind, and we hav-ven should thole be some exaggera tion of the weight, the other features of the ease are such as to make it val uable as a means of calling attention to Orr’s island as a bit of the coast in the waters around which disport strange and awesome creatures. The poor old sea-serpent is insignificant by comparison. Valparaiso is only about 5,000 miles from New Vork, but it requires from seventy to eighty days to get a reply to a business letter, and to get an order filled and delivered generally takes from live to six months, when it should he accomplished in one-half file time, as is t lie ease from Kuropc. TO THE PUBLIC. We Are Agents for Parisian Sage and We Know the Guarantee Is Genuine. —Bowditch Webster. Parisian Sage. tile quick-acting hair restorer, is guaranteed To stop falling hair. To cure Dandruff. To cure itching of the scalp. To put life into faded hair. To make harsh hair soft and lux uriant. To make hair grow or money hack. What Parisian Sage did for (’has. S Raker, it will do for you. Read the following: "I was so bald and such a shinins mark for my friends that 1. as a lasl resort, tried your Parisian Sage (aftei trying several bottles of the highly ad vertised and high-priced so-called hah restorers) and I am glad to say I now have a heavy growth of new hair. am now 44 years old and I have f. heavy growth of new hair after carry ing my shining mark for over sever years.

An idle youth one summer day Went wandering afield— Nor Hast nor West on any quest That eye or thought revealed. But in and on through bloom and shine, And down by shady streams. Through lane and wood, until he stood Beside the Gate of Dreams. What saw he there? Nay. rather ask What saw he not and heard. Hath mind perceived? Hath heart re ceived? Hath soul been deeply stirred By radiant things, by whisperings From better lands? It seems All these he saw and heard in awe Beside the Gate of Dreams. What brought lie back that summer day From wandering afield? Naught lie can show or tell. I know Of things on earth revealed. But more than gold, a million fold And all the world esteems He holds the day lie strayed away Beside the Gate of Dreams. —Clarence Ousley, in Uncle Bonus’ Mag azine. The Fourth is followed by the usual grim statistics of accidents, fatalities, and fire loses. The yachtsmen along the Maine coast are preparing for the visit of tlie Bos ton Yacht club next week. As a result of the recent school of in struction there will be a lot more effi cient work done when the soldier boys if Imp (Vimti iii Aucrust. The Maine Democrats arc watching tile work of the national convention at Denver this week with mingled emo tions, among which it is hard to lind any trace of joy. Brewer was not content with a one day celebration such as other placet indulged in, but made a three-day af fair of it under the name of‘‘street fait and carnival.” This is the Monday after the Fourth and according to all traditions Haying begins today. The unusually wet Ma> made the prospects of a big hay crop very bright, but the excessive dryness of June has given another color to the outlook and it is expected that the cror will be considerably below the average throughout Maine. Fred Small on ins farm in Swanvilh iias a very successful method of sear ing crows from his corn-field, having a bantam rooster in a wire cage with nest attached, and as everybody know; the cockerel is a very early riser anti starts in crowing at once, which keept the crows from interfering with Liu corn. Guy Murcliie, who has just been pro moted from the rank of captain to that of major on the staff of Governor Guild of Massachusetts, is a Maine boy, being a member of the well known Murchit family of Calais. He is now a lawyet in Boston where he has won a high place in his profession. Mr. Murchit is a Harvard graduate and while ir college was active in athletics. I,atet lie was with the Hough Riders in Cuba and is a close personal friend of Presi dent Roosevelt. This is the week of the excursion ol tlie Maine Press association to Aroos took, and it is to be hoped that a large number of members and their ladies will be able to participate. A trip t Aroostook at this season of the year it an experience to be remembered. That section has several times entertained the Press people, always proving them selves highly hospitable and giving the visitors the time of their lives. Those who can go on tiic excursion this ycat will be much envied by their less fortu nate brethren who have to remain at home. Donald B. McMillan, a teacher al Worcester Academy who lias started northward with Peary on his expedi tion in search of the pole, is a Maine hoy and is made of just the stuff need ed by a man who is going to accom pany the great Arctic explorer.
