All the nearby places furnished their quota, while many from Augusta, Gardiner, Hallowed and Watqfvllle u ere seen. A big thing for this fair to bring up the attendance is the auto mobiles. The section reserved for the cars was overcrowded and many v. ere kept in other places. Teams be ing the principal means of conveyance were very numerous and were kept everywhere on the grounds, the Inte rior of the track, outside the Midway being nearly tilled. And it was a happy crowd and for the most part orderly.

Milner was the winner In the 3.00 minute class, taking three heats after Belle 1*. had won the tlrst heat. Every heat of the 2.24 class was an easy one for Arrow Belle, although Malcolm made a strong bid In the third heat with Marvel C. Teddle P„ the Watervllle horse, stood to take third money but got the flag in the last heat. Marguerite, C. \V. Jones’ roan mare, started off well but was in too fast company.

Terre Haut, Ind., Heb'f.' 1$.—After three days' of .campaigning in Illi nois, made1 Weary "by delayed trains that kept Governor ioWnson from f>ne to thpe® hours behindf" his sched ule at almost everj* stop, and by rain which drove the crowds to shelter and greatly weakened his voice, the Cal ifornia executive came into Indiana, tonight, to begin a tour, that will last a part of two days. His voice strengthened, during the day, and, tonight, he made his first long speech since he spoke in Peoria, un Monday night. Besides discussing the Progressive platform and reviewing the cause that led up to the formation of the new party, the Governor, tonight, paid a high tribute to Former Senator Al bert J. Beveridge, Progressive can didate for Governor of Indiana, say ing: "In the 1U years that he represent ed this magnificent state in Wash ington. ho was fearlessly right on ev ery important question that cams before the Senate. His election, this year, as your chief executive means not only the vindication of Progres sive ideas and principles In your state, but it means the return to pub lic life of the man in Indiana whom the people of this great country from ocean to ocean most need in t lie councils of the Nation at this criti cal period in our history.” FOOTBALL NOTES.

The Princton football coaches have practically decided that football, this vear. is to be an open game and they arc devoting all their energies to per fecting the candidates in wide shift* and forward, double and delayed passes. An innovation in the early games will be the extensive use of linemen as ground gainers. Head Coach Howard of thy Naval Academy football team will begin to cut Ills big squad of fourth class men within a day or two and only the most promising will Join the main squad, which will assemble at -Annap olis next Monday. The first scrimmage work of the season Is scheduled for Saturday of this week.

State of Maine baseball enthusiasts interested in the coming World’s Se ries of Baseball Games which are to be played at New York and Boston will l>e interested to know that begin ning October 1st the fare between Portland and New York which has been $10.00, $6.00 one way, $10.00 for the round trip will be reduced to $3.00 each way, thus affording those who so de sire an opportunity of visiting New York with its many attractions and at the same time witnessing several of the games between Boston and New York at a very little expense. About 1O0 fans in the city of Port land have signified their intention of going to New York to see the series rather than to Boston as the oppor tunity of securing seats for the games In the former city will be much better than in the Hub. Forty-two thous and people, everyone of whom was either in the grand stand or bleachers witnessed the first game of the series in New York last year while in Bos ton recently at the game in which Joe Wood opposed Walter Johnson only about 80,000 were able to gain admis sion and thousands of these were in the outfield making ground rules nec essary. At the first game In New York last year admission tickets were being sold at the Polo grounds as late as half past eleven the day of the game. This low rate of $3.00 will undoub tedly appeal to a great many people other than those interested In base ball. The man who has to go to New York on business can now make the trip at half the expense formerly In curred while those who have deferred taking a pleasure, trip to New York or. account of the heavy expense need postpone their trip no longer. October is the best month in the year to visit New York, and the trip from Portland on the magnificent steamers North Land and North Star of the Muine Steamship Line down the New England coast and up Long Island by day-light is one that no body should miss. MAKING READV. (Continued from Page One.) an employee was ottered money to ill- vert to one man a batch of 100 reserv ed seat tickets. A number of applica tions, obviously by or for speculators, also have been turned down. i It is announced that all of the 15.000 I reserved seats will le distributed in person, except in the general allot- I merits to the National baseball Com mission and to the i layers. No tick ets will be sent out by mail, registered or otto rwise No money is accepted •with applications and the club has Bent back thousands of dollars in checks and cash to persons who sent bills or checks with their applications. Only those requests for tickets for all th' games in ihis city are being noticed and onlv one ticket will be is sued for three games This is expe. ted to minimize the operations of the speculative element. Cincinnati, Ohio, Se pt. 1 y—Chairman August Herrmann of the National Baseball C umnission announced, to- j day, ihat Hie commission would meet 1 In New York, next Wednesday, and arrange for the world's championship series. Air Herrmann said all matters pertaining to the names would be placed in tbe hands of the National Commission. He lelieved the arrange ments for the distribution of tickets as tnadi by the Boston American League Cl'ib management, were pre mature and even if applied would not be successful. He is rather In favor of obliging mail requests as much as 'possible. NATIONAL. NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING. New York Chicago Pittsburg Cincinnati Philadelphia St. Louis Brooklyn Boston Per Won. Jjost.

BASEBALL NOTES. re ad the the and Fitcher Bill MeTigue, who was purchased from Montreal under optional agreement, will rejoin Braves, next Monday. Word comes from Chicago that White Sox will forsake Texas pitch their training camp at Paso ltoldcs. Cal., next spring. Hughle Jennings, manager of the Detroit Tigers, says that, in his opin ion, it is a toss-up between the Giants and the Ked Sox so far as the world’s series games are concerned. Metz, secured for the Braves in the draft from San Antonio of the Texas League, led his league in baiting with an average of .333. He made 21 home runs, this season, and last year lie made 22.

Floyd Kroh, who was given a trial by the Boston National Club, was never signed and did not come Hast with the club from Pittsburg. Kroh is at his home in Toledo, working in an automobile factory. Pitching .1 double-header for Savan nah against Columbus, recently, Heine Schulte, who has been secured by the New York Highlanders, allow ed only four hits in IS Innings, or two in each game. He passed only three men in the two games and struck out 17. After Fred Williams had pitched a no-hit, no-run game for Bridgeport, in the Ohlo-Pennsylvanla League, Sec.

DISGRUNTLES ALL. Gov. Plaisted’s Latest Appointment Makes Many Bath ^Democrats Wrathy. Rath, Me.. .Sept. 18.—(Special)-* Many local politicians aro trying to solve a problem following Gov. Plaisted’B appointment of John J. Keegan hr municipal judge of Bath. Col. E. C. Plummer said: "If a man devotes 30 years of his life, to say nothing of liberal campaign contribu tions to help along the Democratic party, only to be thrown down when he seeks a slight reward for himself, how many years must he work in or der to receive recognition?” Col. Pluritmqr referred to the rec ord of Hop. George K. Htftfhes who sought the municipal .judgeship. vMr. Hughes lies been a pillar of strength to the party in tills city and in the State as well. He has been 'chain man ol the Democratic Stale com mittee and once served as State member of the national committee, while the city has twice honored him with the mayoralty. To be sure he had opposition in his light tor the judgeship when County Attorney Arthur H. Stetson re nounced the Republican party and took his stand last spring as one of the leaders of tire Democratic party shortly 'after he had announced his candidacy for th-* Judgeship. Ktetsun vas in supreme command of a Demo cratic caucus last March when dele gate-: v.er control that caucus anei there was a spirited tiff on the floor between Mr. Stetson and Mr. Hughes. But all signs of hot rivalry afterwarels subsided between the two men and the general public awajted the pleasure of the governor in naming Judge- Dunton’s suecdSsor. The naming of Keegan comes *as a distinct surprise to many, in fafet to (almost cverytjody^ There are ai few who profess to say that they expected Gov. Plaisted would turn to him for harmony's sake owing to the peculiar conditions that prevailed. In fact they say that to appoint either Hughes or Stetson would have caused discord in tile other’s camp, but in appointing Keegan who was evidently :t dark horse dissatisfaction has -been aroused in both camps, for he was not known to he in the race and had not been considered as a possible candidate. Now comes the most startling phase of tile entire situation. Some are inclined to lay the appointment to the inihtenee of Congressman. Mc Gillieuddy, and go so far as to say that he was the only one of the Maine Dimocratic congressional delegation that did not write a personal letter favoring the appointment of M r. Hughes. Whether he did or did not write in favor of him. Mr. Hughes himself declines to state.

Y good loser that lie is, he said: ‘1 have no criticism to make. Gov. Plaisted had a right to appoint whomever he wished. He has made his appointment and that is all there is to it.” But local Democrats are stirred up. The two factions who were fighting each other seem to have united forces in criticising the governor. What the effect will be on the future vote of the pnrty none are able to pre dict, but il seems as if tiv result will be serious. No fault is found with Mr. Keegan because he was fortunate enough to receive the plum without being obliged to turn his hand over, but Gov. Flaisted’s methods are se verely condemned and had the ap pointment come before election in stead of after it is probable that there would have been a serious cut in the size of his vote in this city. (Hath Times.) Late yesterday afternoon "Clem” Murphy, private secretary of Gover nor Plaisted telephoned the Times that the Governor had appointed John J. Keegan, Judge of the Bath Municipal Court. The announcement Was received with pleas; -e hy the scores of friends of Mr. Keegan, but otherwise by the friends of 1 the other candi dates, Arthur H. Stetson and Hon. George E. Hughes and with resigna tion by the friends of ex-Judge Ar thur J. Duwtdsi. Mr. Keegan visited Augusta yes terday, returning on the five o'clock train and twenty minutes later the news of his appointment was re ceiv'd at the Times office. The throw down of Mr. Hughes seems to be one of the worst in the political history of the Stpto. Far more than JO years Mr. Hughes has been an active Democrat and for the past 20 years has been practically one of the pillars of the party in the Rate. Not only has he served th as mayor twice, hut several terms as member of the State committee and chairman of that committee. He was also na tional committeeman from Maine, succeeding the late Hon. Arthur Sewall. Ttie New Food Drink Instant Postu m s COSTS LESS AND ACTUALLY TASTES BETTER THAN MUCH OF THE COFFEE USED NOWADAYS.

He always refused to accept sal aried positions under dro party, though they weft- .r.Fert'd yr him in both the CteV Irtn l administrations, and invariably advised giving them to nv i who niight need them more ilv.n iie at that time. Twice when approached as a compromise candi date for Congress, he refused to abandon the interests of his lifelong friend, Hon. I). .7. McCJillicuddy, and by his influence swung the nomina tion to him. Now that he was after, and really wanted something of his party he was deliberately refused it by Gov. Plaisted, which is bound to result lit hard feelings against Plaistcd and his crowd of politicians who have been running the State for the past two years. It is said on good authority that Gov. Plaisted, no later than last Fri day, agreed to appoint Mr. Hughes if he wo%ld promise not to resign the position and run for any other or der. As for the appointment. John .1. Keegan is a young man, upright in dealings and of a disposition which has won him many friends in botn parties and on the whole his appoint ment meets with the approval of a majority of citizens. He will be the youngest jpdge of any municipal court in Maine, being but 27 years old. He was born in the town of Trescott, Washington county, in 1S85. the son of Thomas F. Keegan, a life long Democrat and who has held every town office in Trescott. ATHENS HOLDS ANNUAL FAIR. Fine Weather Calls Out Big Crowd— Exhibits First Class.

Summer flirtations are ripe and falling off. Sometimes even the New York police catch a bad man—but they most always find some excuse to let him go again. Bowdoinham is only 150, but sho expects to be older and wiser and even belter looking, handsome as she Is today, in 2012. Read those letters to the great grandchildren of yet un born sons and daughters. From some of the expressions ac credited to Obadiah Gardner at til-* State House, the expediency appoint ment senator would not “come back" now, if he were urged. Some times it is a long way around to put even a flexible conscience in a state to openly advise dishonor and repudiation of principles. But con stant conjuring of a fetish is bound to effect it, eventually, with that class of mind. l Hearst Opposing Free Trade. It is gratifying to note that even so strong and partisan a Democrat as William JR. Hearst cannot approve the position taken by the Baltimore convention and Dr. Wilson on tho tariff, yuestipn, Mr. Hearst in ail Ills widely circulated papers is as calling the fallacy and the dishonesty of it’ all, and in the London press arc appearing letters ovef his own signature. Of this spectacle, George W. Perkins writes appreciatively. Among the striking points he makes we find: “How the Democratic party pro poses to reconcile its platform dec laration of the tariff with Mr. Wil son’s speeches on this subject ami yet not disturb business has been im possible for the ordinary man to un derstand, and Mr. Hearst makes it flear that such a program is impos sible of practical application. “Mr. Hearst says that he is almost irritably disposed to contradict. Mr. Wilson’s statement to the effect that our business men engaged in foreign commerce are ignorant and provin cial. Several days ago 1 called at tention to the fact that this was a most uncalled for and unjust criticism of our business men, who have fought so nobly to build up our foreign trade. ii nas not neon trie ignorance arm provincialism of our business men. It lias been the ignorance and pro vincialism of oUr men of public af fairs, governmental officials, appoin tees to consular positions and the like, that have kept the brakes on even a greater development of our foreign trade. There has been prac tically no co-operation between our governmental machinery and our business machinery to the end that our foreign commerce be built up to the highest possible figure, while any man who is not Indulging in theories, but is talking from practical experi ence, know® lull well that Germany, and England particularly, have al ways left no stone unturned to assist their merchants in the upbuilding of trade. If a man in England or Ger many wants to start even a peanut stand anywhere oulsidc his own country be can have almost any help at the disposal of his government up to a battleship. “It has- been in the face of such tremendous odds as these tiiat our American merchants have gone out Into the farthest corners of the earth and sold our wares, proving, as Mr. Hearst so accurately says, that they are the greatest business men in the worjd and have made America the greatest business nation in the world. I be trouble with the present Democratic campaign, as the Ameri can people are seeing it, Is that it is, up to date, a campaign of criticism, fault-finding and generalities—a cam paign that is evidently afraid to say that its soul is ita own. It is not holding out a scintilla of hope, noth ins of a constructive nature what ever. If the tariff, as the Democrats say, is the issue, let us know specfi cally what is going to be done about It.” It seems to us that the demonstra tion of the National House in Die last session of Congress is sufficient answer as to what would lie done should Democracy be given full swing. If that, reinforcing our mem ory of the Wilson bill, is not suf ficient it may be that the country is rlpn tor another bitter lesson. The Great Tuberculosis Wolf. Statistics put out by the Maine An ti-Tuberculosis Association show that 1000 people die of consumption in this State, every year; that we have an estimated 12,000 ill with the disease; that tiie disease is not hereditary; that it is preventable, and that it is curable if taken in time and handled with pro per facilities. Suppose that beyond tho Canadian border were no human beings, and that the vast timberlands were swarming with great, blood-thirsty wolves, and that so frequently were their on slaughts made upon the people cf Maine that 1000 persons were killed annually, and 10,000 others were in jured, to die in years to come—what would we do about it? Would we go on talking, about it mildly and resignedly, pitying the victims and ttieir friends? Wouldn’t we, rather, raise an army to go forth ami kill every last wolf? Would not the Legislature and the citizens furn ish barrels of money to pay for con tinuous campaigns until the cry of a wolf could not be heard this side the pole? Then, why are vie so apathetic over the ravages of this other wolf, whose stealtli is so marked that he may be in our own homes even while we are dis cussing his possible, sometime visit Good men and women the world over are devoting themselves to the thankless task of trying to arouse heedless millions to their danger. The wolf is at every man’s door and is licking at the glowing cheeks of the fairest and strongest, as well as the weak. Ana ao we still go on accepting tins preventable evil as we tlo the drink evil and the drugs evil—as though they were necessary and beyond avoid ance? No; something is being done by loyal souls but they are handicapped by lack of funds and popular interest and assistance. Even a horse makes his best race when the human spec tators are “with him” and cheer tiim on with their shouts and hand clap pings and enthusiasm. Among the best of the “'prevention” methods adopted against tile great white disease wolf, is the open air school. With the opening of the fall school term, over 200 open air schools and fresh air classes for tuberculous, and anaemic, children, and also for all children in certain rooms and grades, will be in operation in various parts of the United States, according to a statement published today by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. All of these schools, the association says, have been established since January, 1907, when the first institu tion of this, character was opened in Providence, R. X. On January 1st, 1910, there were only 13 open air schools in this country and a year later the number had inoreased only to 29. Thus, the real growtli in this movement lias been with in the last two years. Massachusetts now leads the states with 86 fresh air schools and classes for tuberculosis, anaemic and other school children, Boston alone having over 80. New York comes next with 29, and Ohio is ttiird with 21. Open air schools have now been established] in nearly 50 cities in 19 different states. Based on figures of population and mortality furnished by the United States Bureau of the Census, it is estimated that not less than 100,000 children now in school in the United! States will die of tuberculosis before they are 18 years of age, or that about 7000 of these children die annually from tuberculosis has had six years of schooling, the aggregate loss to this Country in wasted education each year amounts to well over $1,000,000. This loss and much of the incident suffering could be materially decreas ed if open air schools or clauses for these children and those who are sick ly and anaemic were provided.

Dr. Woodrow Wilson is the open en emy of tariff protection, than which nothing lias contributed more to the American wage worker's high stand ard of living and to the country's in dustrial greatness. He is not only a free trader but a theoretical free trad er, whicli is the worst kind of all; for theoretical free trade opinions arc formed and developed far from the practical affairs of life, formed amid tHe environments of wealth and aris tocracy, formed without any practical knowledge of the real operations of dailv industrial life and actual busi ness enterprise, formed by leaving the human being alone and figuring out abstractly imaginary theories that utterly collapse when brought in con tact with actual facts. Dr. Wilson is that kind of free trad er. He is now trying to conceal tbdt fact as much as he can, lest it should Interfere with his ambition to be Pres ident, cost hat it may in sacrificed convictions, but he finds the task a difficult one; and, in spite of the pres sure placed upon him to hold his tongue, the burden of the evangel of free trade rests upon him so heavily that sometimes lie cannot refrain from preaching It. Thus In New York the other day he burst forth with this: "Ah, if the workingmen of this country could only know, how they have been fooled about the protective tarifT work ing for their benefit. Why, If the pro tective tariff wait relieved at n great many points, tills Is what would happen— that American Industry would take on a new also and speed. There, would lie a bigger market for American labor than there Is now. There would be a greater variety of enterprise than there is now, and the skill of American workmen would dominate the markets of all the 'globe. That is what it would mean. I "And tin American workingman Is 'narrowing Ills own opportunities by standing for the tiling Which is said to I get him higher wages, when the only thing that ever got his wages raised was i his organized endeavor. Because it is perfectly practicable to prove by au thoritative statistics that in a great many unprotected industries the labor ing men are getting bigger wages than they are getting ill some of the pro tected industries: which in itself is proof enough that protection doesn't create the wage scale. It is the circumstances of the trade and the endeavors of the work ingman that make the scale of wages.’’ Now it would be extremely interest ing to see what would happen If Dr. Wilson and i thers who talk so glibly of the superior ability of the American workman would once in a while seek to inform themselves of the nativity of the Individual they are glorifying* Very frequently they would find that tliis "superior” person is one of those he speaks of so slightingly’ and whose superior ability was never able to get^ liigh wages tor hint until lie tame to the United States and got behind the protection of the American tariff. Likewise, if it is true, as Dr. Wilson says, that organization and not the tariff is what causes the high wages in the United States, why cannot ho find and specify at least one ease where organization availed to send wages up or to prevent them from go ing down in the low-tariff period of Cleveland’s second term? Dr. Wilson, at that time a salaried man, must have held himself coldly aloof from the world and the suffer ings of hundreds of thousands of idle and hungry countrymen, if he did not know and does not remember, or at that time did not understand the cause and effect. We cannot believe that Dr. Wilson is so cold-blooded that lie did not care. Of course his lixed sala ry would buy more of the necessities and the luxuries of life under such conditions, but we would not suggest that Dr. Wilson would be one to will ingly tlx adversity upon millions for the sake of the advantage to a com paratively few thousands like him self who live upon a fixed income re gardless of the times. But we would suggest that Mr. Wil son must have known of the disaster caused by the Wilson-Gorman bill, second in the suffering it brought, only to the Civil War. Would he repeat it to gain a political end9 For men of wide knowledge and un derstanding to claim that free trade would increase our markets and la bor’s opportunities seems Incredible, after the pitiful demonstrations which st> many of us remember.

Latest returns from Monday's election, with unofficial reports from all towns and plantations, and more than one-half of these reports veri fied by mail returns from town clerks, give William T. Haines a. plurality of 8023. The election of Forrest Goodwin as congressman from the Third District, which was claimed to be doubtful by- the Demo crats Tuesday morning, is assured. The Republicans will have a small majority in the House and Senate, giving them control of both branches and assuring the election of Edwin G. Burleigh as United States Senator to succeed Obadlah Gardner. The Old Hale Way. (Bangor News.) Hon. J. Lucius Higgins, now a law yer in successful practice in Minne sota, but who was a Maine student, with a leaning toward the law, recalls a real scene, which took place in ail Ellsworth, Maine, court room, more than 40 years ago, when Hon. Arno Wiswell, the father of the late Chief Justice Wiswell, and then the ad mitted leader of the Hancock county bar, paid a very high compliment to the legal ability of Eugene Hale of Ellsworth, by confessing that Hale Iwas the only lawyer in Maine, whom he feared to come up against in court. Even then Eugene Hale bad won the highest reputation of any lawyer in Maine—feared for his great legal talent, really dreaded by other lawyers for his resourcefulness and ability. Senator Eugene Hale was constant ly adding to his reputation as a con summate master of pure English dic tion all through his career In both branches of Congress. He was the quickest member in the Senate t recognize One definitions and graphic speech. Naturally, whenever any admirer of the former senator gets ready to collect a book and label it "Gems from Eugene Hale,” that book must be certain to receive great and early recognition from ihe American reading public. For instance, noth ing finer in the English language can be found than Senator Hale’s brief and delightful eulogy of the late Llewellyn Powers of the old Fourth Maine District. It seems that Eugene Hale is not the only Hale in Maine who can "sling English” beautifully anil ex pressively. The remarks of Judge Clarence Hale of Portland a brother of the late senator, which were made at the centennial dedicatory services of an Ellsworth church, last week, were keenly alive and bristling with poesy and fact. At timeq the judge rose above the lawyer in his discus sion: again the love for Ellsworth and its sacred traditions entirely ov ermastered both the judge and the lawyer. His tracing the early settlers in Ellsworth from a happy blending of Cavalier and Puritan ancestry threw a new light upon Maine and upon the influence of the Congregational church in shaping the destinies of New England and of Maine. In the finest of word-colorings, the judge followed the career of the old orthodox doc trine under Increase Mather down to the parting of the ways with the Uni tarian church, and from the rigid doctrines of the Pilgrim fathers, to the wider liberalism of James Free man Clark, Minot J. Savage and Ed ward Everett Hale. It was a masterful discussion con cerning the growth of theological ideas in Now England at once a re view of faith and a guldepost for fu ture activities. Most assuredly the wonderful "Hale gift” has not departed from the name. --J Maine Gossip The Changing Days.

The Methodist church at Old Town, is planning the observance of its 75th anniversary about the time the corner stone is laid for the new building at the East Maine Conference Seminary at Bucksport, the date being planned in order that the same Bishop who is at Bucksport may ome to Old Town. Hcv. Mr. Morris, pastor of the Old Town church has the matter in charge. By invitation of the Fortnightly Club of Bath the 29th annual meeting of the Maine Federation of Women’s Clubs will be held at the Winter street church, in that city, Tuesday, Wed nesday and Thursday, Sept. 24, 25 and 26. There will lie a reception on the evening of the 24th, the business con vention opening at 9 o’clock on the morning of the 25th. The program promises to be one of unusual interest throughout. Mrs. Bertha Kunz Baker of New York City will give one of her unrivaled dramatic recitals on the evening of the 25th. Among othe Speakers of note during the day ses sions may be mentioned Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead of Boston, who will ad dress the convention on the subject of “Universal Peace,” and Mrs. Frederick Talbot of Providence, R. 1.. who will present the work of the Needlework Guild of America. An effort is to be made to retain the auditorium in Portland for fairs and conventions instead of turning it over to the State as an armory. The audi torium was built mainly for the use of the city and such industrial and mechanical fairs as tire held and it was merely as a matter of accommo dation that the National Guard was allowed to drill there a limited num ber of hours each week, according to a stat* ment made by ex-Mayor James P. Baxter, through whose activities while head of Ihe municipal govern ment the armory and auditorium were built. The opening of Bangor Theological Seminary, announced for Wednesday, Wept. 25, is deferred until Wednesday, Oct. 9. Tliis is due to unavoidable de lays in the introduction of steam Into the Chapel and Maine hall and elec tricity into Maine hall. All the func tions of the seminary's opening week will be deferred to dates, just a fort night later than those announced, ex cept that the opening annual address by Prof. Lyman wfth the reception to new students immediately following tliis, cannot occur on Thursday night, Oct. 10. because of the music festival at that time.

Also many highly productive farms are soon run down with care less Handling. The ranted farm or the rented Held, as a general rule, soon becomes so poor that nobody wishes to ’rent it. In all of these cases the trouble is the lack of humus in tlie soil. Humus, which Is decomposed organic matter, is the very life of the soil, and when it lias been allowed to waste or has been worked out, the soil becomes lifeless and refuses to yield good crops under cultivation. norao m me aeep, uiacK river um toms and prairie lands are richly sup plied with humus, tilt black soil being several feet deep. Such soils are difli cult to exhaust because the humus content is so great that many years of successive cropping would be required to U3e up the store of decomposed or ganic matter. Some of the so-called thinner soils, and much sandy land, are very deficient in humus, yet these same lands contain abundance of plant foods and be made to produce large crops of a variety of kinds with the right sort of handling. Thin and infertile soils, lacking in htlmus, can be made productive and highly profitable under cultivation by supplying organic matter in sufficient quantities to make the soil retentive of moisture, and for liberating plant foods. Tldn clay soils and sandy soils under favorable moisture conditions will grow good crops. But the aver age year, when rainfall is variable, the crops are short and unprofitable. If a few wicks of dry weather come, the soil quickly loses its moisture, the roots of the growing crops no longer are able to secure dissolved plant foods, and hence the crops are stunted nnd yield poorly or become total fail ures. Organic matter for ameliorating the condition of infertile soil may be ap plied either with stable manure or green manuring crops, or witli a com bination of both. All know ttie good effects of supplying stable manure on poor land. Tlie poorest kind of land can quickly be made the richest kind of land if it is heavily manured and the manure well worked with and in to tiie soil. The good farmer who keeps any considerable number of ani mals is careful to make, save and use all stable and lot manure possible. It is one great means by w hieh lie is aide to grow more feed to feed more live stock. But the farmer who keeps a considerable number of animals andi makes as much manure as Is possible from them, finds every year that lie hti^ not enough of this cheap fertilizer I The Little Today N means the Big Tomorrow It's today's penny, the nickel, dime, dollar, transplanted in an investment which grows through the addition of added interest that means tomorrow's relief from financial strin gency.

He could use twice us much and often five times as much as he makes in the stables. Those who realize the value and Im portance of stable manure never can make or secure enough for all needs. A few purchase from towns and cities, but the supply from this source is lim ited. Manure from animals is partially digested organic matter mixed with other dead organic matter as bedding. The I Kidding itself without the drop pings from the animals is a good fer tilizer when mixed with the soil. The mixture, of course, is better If we could produce enough of it every year to cover ail the fields. But it is possi ble to fertilize all the fields every year, or almost every year, with green ma nuring crops. By such crops is meant any vegetation, green or dry, that is grown on the land and plowed under. A progressive farmer with strong views on green manuring took charge of very sandy and infertile farm a few years ago. So poor was this land that he purchased it for a mere song, hut now the land is worth more than MOO an acre, and on it the owner pro duces from two to three tons of hay per a^ro, 60 to 100 bushels of corn and other crops in proportion. His secret, if It is a secret, of making barren sand produce liountiful harvests is in green manuring. He plans his crops so that every field is working to its fullest capacity every season, but ev ery season he plans for a cover crop to be plowed under. Cow pc as are sown In corn to be hogged down with the corn in the fall or to be plowed under with stalks and stubble later. Hairy vetch follows potatoes and other truck crops. Clover and rye are grown in the same manner, the catch crop taking possession of the soil as soon as a regular crop is laid by or taken from the land. veicn, clover, cowpeas aim some in the other legumes are not only good as a general cover crop, but their roots loosen the soil and supply nitro gen. The farmer who understands anjJ uses these legume crops can (urn bar ren clay and cheap sand irtto fields that will smile with bountiful harv ests. Rye is good and so arc weeds, stubble, stalks and trash of all kinds. If thi field is to he made fertile and kept Increasing in fertility, organic matter of some kind must be turned under and mixed with the soil every year. Tills organic matter will supply phosphorous, nitrogen and potash, and it will gradually make the stiff clay loose, friable, easy to work and re tentive of moisture through dry weather. Pernaps the greatest value of green manuring is that the organic, matter supplied quickly decays in the soil, giving up Us plant foods, and through decomposition and chemical changes inert minerals are dissolved and made available plant foods Even pure sand soils are made productive by yearly green manuring, and although pure sand is highly insoluble, yet green or ganic matter, decomposing in the soil, liberates acids that readily react and dissolve very refractory soil minerals. I.imo and organic matter worked into the average soil have beneficial etlect upon both the chemical and physical condition, making the soil ideal for tillage -and large crop growth. Stable manure and commercial ferti lizers are limited and expensive. Green crops and lime are practically limit less and both are Inexpensive, rela tively. Any farmer with a smalt out lay of cash, and frequently with none, can keep his fields covered with catch crops when other crops have been laid by or removed. Constantly working organic matter Into the soil will con stantly Increase itfe fertility and value, —by H. H- H. SOME HARD WORDS. Chog-emek-wakthla-mok-emmik an tanthal-ma is 13. Shakespears and Dickons are by no •’if./.np the only authors who are dif ficult to put into other tongues, trans lators of the Bible often complaining of the obstacles they have to sur mount. How, for example, render such a phrase as "whiter than snow” in the language of equatorial Africa, where snow is unknown? In the language of tlie Lengua, a tribe in Paraguay, they were obliged to translate the word “eighteen" “chog-emek-wakthla mok-emmik-antanthal-ma.” the literal meaning of which is "finished my hands, pass to my other foot-three." H. Ottewill Bruce cites the ease of a translator in New Guinea, who, get ting stuck with the phrase "Far be it from me to do this thing,” consulted an intelligent catechumen, who gave him tin precise idiomatic equivalent in a phrase that meant "May I speak to my mother-in-law before I will do tt.is thing!” For it seems that in New Guinea it is an unpardonable sin for a man to speak to his wife's mo ther. A book could be filled with curiosi ties of translation. It is. however, far easier to criticise than to write a translation, and any one who has to do much of such work must take off his hat to masters like Gilbert Mur ray for his Euripides, to Charles Eliot Norton for his Dante, to Jowett for his Pinto, to Swinburne and Rossetti foy their bits from Vilon, to Mallarme AUGUSTA LODGE DIRECTORY CUSHNOC CHAPTER.

SLOW TRACK BUT GOOD RACING AT GRAND CIRCUIT. Princess Todd Driven by Murphy Proves The Best in Field of 3=year=olds==Joe Patchen II Wins 2.12 Pace==Kobert Milroi Takes 2.12 Trot. Petrol l, Mich., Sept. is.—Princess Todd, owned by the Cruickston Stock Farm. Bait. Ont., and driven by Mur l»hthis aftcrnon, proved herself the best in a Held of splendid 8-yeiir-oids by Winning the major portion of the Horseman FutdVity purse of $10,000. Brighton It., Manrico and the Cana dian'Idly each won one of the three beats In this event, the feature of to dny'fc Orand Circuit program, but Princess Todd's standing in the final summary was highest. The track was muddy and about eight, seconds slow when racing was starred, late in the afternoon. None of the race* on today's original program was reached, and one of Tuesday's evems, the Futurity pace, was unfin ished after two tame heats. Five heats were required to decide tlie 2.12 trot, which was started, yes terday. Robert Milroi, with the best I average after the fifth heat, was de clared winner. Joe Patehen If, with one heat of the] 2.12 pace already to his credit, won two more, today, in easy style. He was ne\ r urged and finished both rounds slowing down. Brighton B., winner of yesterday's one heat in the 3-year-old Futurity, started odt well in 'the second heat, today., He led to the three-quarters, with Manrico alongside. The pace was too hard and at the last turn Brighton 15. lopt his stride, Manrico taking first position' and holding it to the wire. Princess Todd, fiiird, on Tuesday, came strong at tile end and was boat er by a length. In tlie third and final heat Manrico and Junior Watts raced out ahead of the tftdd to the far turn. Brighton B. then took the lead and looked like a winner. Half way down tlie stretch Murphy made a magnificent drive He took Princess Todd out of the bunch in a rush and in a whipping finish sen) her under the wire a half length to the good. The $10,000 purse was divided as follows: $2500 to the winners of each heat, $400 to seconds, $200 to third, a $500 cup to the horse, standing; liest in the summary and $200 to the nomi nate! of the winner's dam.

Second “Game.” Yes, friends, you've got to hand it to the Augusta baseball team as a consistently, hard-hitting, fast-play ing aggregation. They certainly knov baseball—all brands in the rule book, and then a few—ask the umpire! Did you ever know that if a man gets walloped on his hearing while he's carrying a cough in the right side of his throat he isn’t entitled to more than a two-base hit in the score” Sure! Know baseball? Leave it to those! Eight runs to four for their opponents in the first game—and 14 for thereabouts) to one in the sec ond. And Bowdoinhant had lost but four games, this season! Of course there were slight drawbacks. McNeil might have struck out another man and made it an even score; New bert tried to pull a new one—like this; You run right up a little hill and run right back again and then right up again and get the ball. New bert was down while the ball was up —then Douglas fell over second base once or twice, but lie covered it to perfection. What? Oh. yeah, Bow dolnham had the 14. Box score? (let out of here! Tug of War. Just before the second baseball game and following a long series of various contests, confined for the most part to small boys, a tug of war took place.

The history of Bowdolnharn dates hack to the time of the Plymouth colony, when the territory was claim eil by them, and by them there was conveyed to William Bowdoin of Bos ton, governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. At that time 3:100 acres were conveyed to Bowdoin. In 1637, Sir Ferdinando Gorges had granted to Sir Richard Edgeeomb a tract of S000 acres, situated near Merrymeet ing Bay, then called the Lake of New Somerset. In 171S John Edgeeomb of New London appeared for the heirs of Edgeeomb, to whom Sir Georges made the grant of land, and he en tered a minute of the grant in the book of claims. About 40 years lat er, in 1756, Lord Edgeeomb, one of the heirs, revived the claim, he en trusting the business to Sir William Pepperell of Kittery. Sir William Peppered died before settlement was reached, and Lord Edgeeomb empow ered Nathaniel Sparhawk to continue in pressing his claim. The Bowdoin heirs, claiming tills from the Plymouth proprietors, brought action to sustain their claim, and showed a title front the Ply mouth proprietors, and a quitclaim deed from Abagadusset, an Indian sachem, who had his residence on the point of land which lias for several years bore his name. This point lies between the Abagadusset river and the Kennebec, which bounds the town of Bowdoinhum on the east. The court ruled that the title and the quitclaim deed should prevail against the obsolete and indelinite grant made by Sir Gorges. The Bowdoin heirs won their case. The town received its name in this way. I i ThlF ruling: and decision were In 1758 and 1768, but Home years later the case was again tried at the in stance nf (be Edgeeomb heirs, the superior court ruling that this town was not included in the original pat ent, the north line of the town being fixed as the south boundary of the patent. History also reports that tra ditions has it that the Pejepseot pro prietors claimed this territory and built mills within it. The settlement of Rowdoinham dates hack to soon after the building of Fort Richmond, in 1719-20, within the present limits of the village of Richmond. The present town of Rich mond was for some years a part of the town of Rowdoinham following the incorporation of the latter town in 17(12. Following the incorporation of tiie town the litigation between tlie eli'iinanis under the Plymouth Pat ent 'nd those who held property un der the purchase of Christopher Law son, who in 1649, purchased a tract of land on the western side of the Kennebec began. The settlement of Rowdoinham was much retarded by the wars with the Indians and the dispute’s which* arose about the own ership of the land. Rowdoinham was for a number of .Mars one of the places that shared the State renown as a shipbuilding place, and several fine vessels have been launched in the waters of the Cathance river. In former years then were also several manufacturing es tablishments, they including clothing manufactories, boot and shoe shops, carriage and harness manuf e turies. A* one time considerable ice for con sumption in the larger cities of the Last was harvested on the fixer with in the limits of the town. The valua tion of the town in 1S70 was $616.422, or about $40,000 increase over I860, while 10 years later, in PSO, the valu ation had dropped back to a little aheve $614,000. The population In 1350 was 2382, arid in 1860 was 2343, while 10 yex rs later had dropped to 1804. The census of 1910 show a population of 1385. COLLEGE NOTES.

Paecual Orozco, Sr. or an> of the other Mexican Itt surreetos captured on American soil has been received by the state de partment, which is the only agency authorized to act in extradition cases, nor has the Mexican embassy been instructed to apply for warrants. Col. Orozco and four other rebel leadfers, Flores, Caballero, Valdez and RoChim, were sent, today, by Capt. Mitchell, whose men captured then,, from Presidio to Marfa, Texas. Oth er prisoners of less importance have been released. While the t'nited States has not yet decided what to do with Orozco and others of the same kind, it is quite certain that they will not he allowed to resume their activities against the Mexican government. If they were arrested without arms, or not as constituting part of a military expedition, probably they cannot bo held as military prisoners. There is no doubt that they can be held by officers of the department of commerce and labor under the im migration laws, on a general charge Of being undesirable aliens. If they should threatep trouble or refuse to abstain from further acts of hostility against tile Mexican government. American immigration officials would tie at liberty to deport them at any point they chose which might easily be some place in the possession of the federal troops. McCombs’ Health Is Restored.

Hersey AUGUSTA, MAINE Board of Trade Hears of Boston i Electric Show's 1912 Plans. 1 T!it» leading feature of the ‘“Smoke Talk” of the Augusta Board of Trade, which was held, Wednesday evening, at the Augusta House, was the talk upon '“Electrical Possibilities and the Boston Klee trie Show of 1912,” by Kol lin H. Perley of the advertising de partment «>f the Edison Electric Illu minating Co. of Boston. The 1812 Boston Electric Show is to be held. Sept. 28 to Oct 26, inclusive, and will he me of the greatest events of its kind that the world lias ever seen. Invitations have been extended to Boards of Trade of various cities of the United States, and to tlie ambas sadors of foreign countries to attend. Two years have been spent in com pleting the organisation of what pur poses to be tlie largest electrical shows ever held in New England. It is to be given under the auspices of the Edison Electric Co. of Boston. Al ready $50,000 has been spent in adver tising and $200,000 will be spent for that purpose. In the outside decoration of the hall in which tlie exhibition is to be held I 10,000 incandescent lamps will be used, which will be the largest outside dec or; lien ever had there and more lamps I will be used than in connection with any similar decoration. The two prin cipal objects of the exhibition will be to show the people of New England what is new in the electrical field and the use of apparatus, and to bring the people together and introduce them to a new world of electrical de velopment. The Smoke Talk" was held in the dining hall and largely attended and much enthusiasm was manifested in regard to the matters under discus sion anti the future work of the board. Walter S. Wyman, general manager of the Central Maine Power Co., gave a practical talk upon the possibilities of electrical development in Central pay $1.98. She learned afterwards from the firm that the order had been raised to $3.96. Mrs. William Hartung of Manchester told a similar story, except that in her case the order had been raised from $1.98 to $.94. It was admitted in cross examina tion by Mr. Harvey that he had heard from one of his delivery, Mr. Geer, that McDonald was going into busi ness for himself. A great deal of time was taken by counsel in discussing the meaning of the contract entered into between the portrait concern and McDonald, and as to whether an ad vance of $75 a week provided for in the contract was commission or whether it was "for the convenience of the parties in financing tlie busi ness.” McDonald took the stand in his own behalf and testified that he had sup posed Katz was all right until on Thursday of last week he had receiv ed a telephone call from Mr. Harvey, telling him that there was apparent crookedness In regard to Katz's or ders. He told Harvey that he had sent in some orders previously from Katz but since receiving the telephone call had sent in no further orders. Cross examined by Attorney Fish er, as to why he had not verified Katz's orders taken in Augusta he stated that he was waiting Mr. Har vey's arrival and planned to go over them then. Witness stated that he had received no commission on the H.irtung and Cummings orders. Judge Lancaster, at the close of the long hearing, declared that he had received no evidence that either Mc Donald or Katz had realized anything as yet from the raised orders and said that, although there appeared to be something very peculiar about the or ders, he could not find probable cause. The respondents were Immediately discharged and Deputy Marshal Per hani, before the adjournment of court, arrested Katz upon the forgery war rant. Non-Support Case. William W. Soiett, a barber and in surance agent, appeared in court to answer to a charge of non-support brought by his wife, Mary Soiett. Mrs. Soiett testified that she had been married eight years and that her hus band deserted her in this city and went to Bath. She said that her husband was fre quently intoxicated and that he had obtained a mortgage on furniture be longing to her to-, help repay money 1 that he had spent which did not be long to him. He had told her when lie had Jiecn drinking to “go to the work ~houpe.” She stated that when he was not drinking lie had been accustomed to spend money freely upon her. Soiett stated that a great deal of what his wife said was true but ob jected to some of her statements as not true. 'He was given the option by the court of paying a fine of $100, to he contributed to the support of his wife, serve six months in jail or give a bond to pay $4 a week for one year for the support of his wife. Soiett was unable to furnish the re quired bond and was committed to jail, late Wednesday evening. Juvenile Garden Thieves. Three juvenile offenders, ranging in ages from 8 to 14 years, were before Judge Doncaster on the charge of damaging Mrs. Fred Day’s garden at Cushnoc Heights and taking corn and potatoes th-refrom. It developed that the bovs were members of a party of 10 that had a camp near Mrs. Day’s premises. The other seven boys, who failed to show up in court, Wednes day’, were ordered to appear, Saturday morning, in the municipal court. Five Cases of Intoxication. Five men were arraigned for intox ication. Orrin Brooks, an old offend er, was given a 90-days’ Jail sentence. Eddie Harvey, who was alleged to have been drunk and created a dis turbance in a local restaurant, was represented by Samuel Titcomb as counsel and pleaded guilty. He was given a jail sentence of 30 days, which was suspended during good behavior. Harry Bonenfant and Peter Ran eduit, who were arrested in an intox icated condition at Togus, were each assessed a fine of $2 or 30 days in jail. In Rancourt’s cose the costs also were imposed. Roth paid. Joe Go colte of Bumford was given a jail sen tence of 30 days, which was suspend ed upon his promise of immediate re turn to Bumford. Mail'!' tt>.iiss Anna Dutffen and Mrs. L. O. Teague visited at H. F. Corson’s, Pittston, Friday. Mrs. Joseph Newman is reported on the sick list. Regular services will be held at the Methodist church Sundays with Itev. Mr. Reebee of Clinton as pastor. Lucien Beaudoin, the 12t year-old eon of Francois Beaudoin of 19 Pino street, Biddeford, was drowned, Tues day afternoon, in the Saco river, shortly after 4 o’clock. Coming di; rectly from school, he went on the river alone In a boat just above the Somesvilie bridge. Standing up, In lost his balance and fell Into tho wa ter. Many were attracted by his screams, but not Soon enough to save him. After several persons had grappled for the body for an hour, it was found by J. K. -Trombley.

If so, let that person walk reverently beneath the old elms of Bowdoinham, aware that the spirit alone survives. If so. let him recall that when on earth be fore, he thought this age modern, whereas he now knows it to have been old-fashioned, quaint, remote. Turn about! O Friend, housing my soul in 2012. Face the on-coming tide of the ages! Know that were you and I linked in a thousand ties through a thousand bodies of the flesh, for 300 centuries, this same soul will yet be reaching out as it does with him who writes these words— each yesterday, medieval; each today, modern; each tomorrow, mystery! Know then the truth—that of all these only One is modern—and that is God. The Purifying Process of Years. Or it might ho the sentiment ex pressed by a “cold, calculating busi ness man” who greeted coining gen erations thus: Greetings to our Sons and Daughters of 2012: Xot unmindful or our sturdy pioneer sires who endured hardships strangers to us, who cleared our fields and built our homes, who laid the foundation for our present prosperity, we art' proud of our present day achievements, believing we have made and are making strides of progress such as the world has never seen: yet we are not building our hopes of fame or perpetuity on our past or our present. We are looking across a century, and in you, our chil dren, we hope to find a monument which ahali be an honor to your fath ers and mothers and to our fathers and mothers. This monument must he construct ed of a moral, intellectual and social fibre, liner, richer and more sensitive than ours. Ten decades should refin: and consume the dross we are leav ing, so your character will be as gold, and your manhood and womanhood so woven into the life of the ‘Man >f Galilee” that your stand for right will he as unchangeable as the granite hills of our State, standing as senti nels of ail ages, watching the passing generations as we watch a passing cfoud. Our hopes, our pride, the summit of our aspirations are in you. We be lieve you will not disappoint us. la fancy let us shake hands across the chasm of a hundred years. As we clasp, and our eyes meet, and I hear ypu ask "Have wo met your expec- tations, have we proven worthy ot our inheritance,” may 1 be aide to answer back through your conscience and your standard of justice and right, if not in an audible voice, “Our fondest dreams are realized, the labor of your fathers was not in vgiu, for today I behold the noblest men, the grandest women, the pur- eat homes, the world has ever seen. May the next one hundred years erect as worthy a monument to your memory as you have to ours. From ,»lsn Nearing Century.

The postman came on hors, back witii our newspapers In saddle bag and threw them out by the roadside and we would run for them. Our pens were plucked from the winks of a goose and our little hoods were often trimmed; with the -oft, downy feathers that grew upon their breasts. W e braided our j straw’ hats for men and boys. My 'mother carded, spun and wove cloth for i men’s wear and a trained taUoress j [would cut and fit them out for Sunday service, as well as for week days, jur j school dresses were made in the same! way, colored and pressed and maue ready for school; with a new calico I apron and vandlke w e were ready for our most pleasant pastime. Our shoe-I I makers came with their stock on their' backs and stopped until all were shod, i The little shoes were made from the tops of father’s boots. My first and only j doll was made from a mortar pestle, j our limner came to the house while In cut and carved our profiles. in winter some of the boys went to the barn witii bare feet, taking with them a piece of I hot plank to stand oil while doing their work.

One oi the leaning business men oi the town would appear to be justified j in his enthusiasm over the discoveries since early in 1^0. He writes for the box rf records as follows: “To the citizens of Bowdoinham in 2012: “You who. read these lines, exclaim I not at our ignorance. Many wonderful discoveries and improvements have been made the past 100 years, and our present utilities in common use, are far fceyonu the comprehension of those who lived 100 years ago. Doubtless our more recent [inventions will, to you, seem crude and out of date. The past 100 years have given us pretty much everything in **»e mechanical line, the most wonderful of which is the wireless telegraph, a very recent invention. Is there a limit to progress? As the telescope is used to discover unseen planets beyond, so, in my opinion, will each new discovery b» used to bring others into service; and in reviewing what wonderful progress has been made the past 1«K) years the mechanical utilities at the service of you who read these lines in 2012 are beyond my contemplation. The same beautiful Cathance, the same hills, the same sun. moon and stars will be here then—all j else may be changed—but the kindliest thoughts of those who have gone on be i fore an- now freshened and perchance you will have discovered a means of communication with us in which event you will find us as enthusiastic as your self over I he ceremonies of this day. A Lay of the Oldest Families. Will the people of the 21st century recognize the names cleverly injected into the following rhymes which ac companied a substantial addition to the fund: THE RIVER ROAD. ’Tis in the year of 1!>12 We gather our thoughts this *rhyme to tell, That when long years have rolled away, Future generations may read this lay.

Our Ideas of Things Sacred. An eastern attorney writes: "I have been Invited to make record of thoughts for the perusal of people in Bowdolnhum 100 years hence. Even 50 yejirs appear long. That period of time seems short when we have passed its milestone hut has n strange appearance of great length when we view it the other way. Fifty years ago 1 was i:i years of age and this country was in the throes of the Civil War which result- i ed in over-throwing the, then, funda- mental idea of the divine right of owner- j ship in human beings. We now lqok back to that with abhorrence and amazement, yet we believe in ihc sacred right of individual ownership oi other property which, as now conditioned, is an appalling state of inequality. That the next half century will readjust con ditions more equally, I believe. How it will be done I have no conception; neither has anyone else in our genera- j tion. The school children of 1912, when j tin y are men and women, will grapple with their problems as we have and are doing with ours, and will settle them upon the lines of eternal justice. So you, gentlemen of 1962 or 2012. perchance may glance back to 1912 and view' with as much wonder some of our ideas of what is sacred as we do those of 1X62.1 VW now take a man born in a foreign land, who has no property, character or education, and clothe him with the sov ereign right of suffrage, because he is a man. and deny it to a woman born on American soil, possessing wealth, edu cation and noble qualities, because s.,« is a woman. Xo doubt this will astonish you gentlemen of 2012. Your civiliza tion will be 100 years riper than, ours, 1 hence you will take a more personal in terest in the early history of Maine, care j more for preserving the wild life of the woods and love shade trees and bird life I much more than we do. Where 1 shall j be in 1962, 2012 and 2112 is a matter of un- 1 certainty with me now, but if I am a spirit l shall surely attend all of your celebrations.” To the Reader One Hundred Years Hence. Strange thought that I can speak to you This word across a hundred years; Can hid my spirit send to yours A gift of laughter or of tears. And yet. tis only this I write: If my slight gift shall bring to you One hour of hope, or ease or mirth One moment’s gladness fresh and true, Then send it on across the years. Fife’s way looms steep and rough to see; if I have lightened thus your load Then lighten his who yet shall be. It is my belief that the century periods of the future are only milestones in our existence, and that in our never ending life we shall know of the fruits of our earthly gifts.

To 2012: What can 1 say to you that others have not said better? What can 1 tell you that will add ever so little to-, your knowledge? It is almost closing time for the mall that, with but one short stop, is to travel tho long, shining way to a century’s end, still 1 find no message I could wish would be helpful to you. I w'ould believe that the best In me is the worst in you: that the sum 1 and substance of what l have learned in my 00 years’ existence is as but a drop in the ocean of your knowledge: that you are doing and daring greater things for your brother man than 1 In my utmost compassion ever dreamed; that you are using your every energy, even, as we ask you to use our contribu tions, for the uplift of humanity. To the People of Bowdoinham September 18th, A. I). 2012: When these few lines are presented lo you, the writer of them will have uedn smouldering in his grave nearly 100 years, which seems like a very long time when we are looking into the hereafter: but only a very brief period when we are looking backward. The most of us who have participated In the process of plac ing these trlviul sums of money to your credit, were residents of country towns, claiming no particular traits of excel lency in any of our various avocations. Those of us who could not call our selves wise and learned have been most devoutly thankful that, however impos sible It may have been to compete with these highly favored ones in obtaining the prizes of earth, we have been at no disadvantage whatever lri striving for the prize that comes from the spiritual realm, where competition, monopoly and rivalry have not been very noticeable If we possess anything of merit or any traits of excellency, it is partly because of our lofty aspirations for the future welfare and happiness of humanity. The great brotherhood of man, the occasion nf u century ago, afforded us the oppor tunity. ns well tis the pleasure, of doing some little inexpensive act of kindness width we hopeu would result In great good to you, us well as to others of the never ending-future.
