Ik would be refreshing to see two pictures of the next vice-president wbicb looked as if the same man sat for them. It la all right for the cartoonist to rep resent prosperity in the guise of a farmer carrying his scythe, but he should get out somewhere and observe the subject, and not represent him as carrying the implement in a position which is at once awkward and dangerous, such a# no farmer would ever do. Under the head of "Ideal Place for ι Honeymoon," an exchange relates the bringing out of a big bear which he bac shot by a man who had been oo a wed ding trip into the Maine wood· with hit bride. Ideal place, no doubt; bat is il an ideal groom who spends the honey mooo days hooting while the bride atayi alone in camp? The whirl of évolution haa now pro doced a new thing in college life. A well-known institution Is the "smoker/ a gathering where college men talk ovei matters in an informal way, to the ac com pan! meat of each smoke as any maj deeire to contribute. la a co-education al college the oiLc? night the younj women of the institution held a "smok erine." Now don't gasp with horror The gathering was held at the home ol one of the faculty members, and it isn' likely (though not state*)) that the yoonf women were allowed to smoke even i they were so disposed. Doubtless th< term applied signified merely that tb< general social character of the assembl; is the same as that of the masoulini form. An accidental shooting in the Main* woods the other day bad two onnsua features. One man was shot by anothe by mistake for a deer. Unfortunate)] th«»re is nothing unusual abont tba feature of the affair. But the injure< man was not killed, which is decidedly unusual. And the man who did th< shooting ran away as soon «g Qe fount out what he had done, and before hi could be recognized. It is at least pleas aut to say that such a cowardly ruooinj away is also unusual. A revision of the equity rule* of fed eral courte is announced by the Unite< States Supreme Court, affecting tbe mat ter of injunction*. The court has em bodied in the uew rulea many of thi point* of a bill for which labor leaden have been fighting, which ha· pallet tbe national house and now waita on th< senate calendar. This is the first chaogi in the equity rulea made in fifty yeara and la a step in the direction of reforn of our judicial procedure, which ia un questionably needed. Of course. It la related that one ο Woodrow Wilson's teachers predicts* forty years ago that be would becom president. But think bow many thou sands of bright boys have bad that sara< prediction made for them. And tbinl that only twenty uightof them have eve fulfilled the prophecy. Maine men hava good courage. Om writes a letter to a Boaton paper quotioj figurer tu show that tbe prices of man; ataple article· of food in no higher thai ten years ago. It would be hard to con vince some people tbat there la a singl item that haan't gone up. In anticipation of Thanksgiving, tb Democ'ats are smacking their lips at tb list of federal offices. But it looks as if Turkey (in Europe would be done long before the Thanks giving table is spread. Tbe Taboo on Moderate Drinking Tbe use of alcohol is receiving so m hard knocks these days. A prominen railway system, not content with thi general rule heretofore in force on rail ways forbidding employee· to drinl while on duty, now forbids employees ti indulge at all in drinking out of employ ment hours, or in any other conduci which will impair their health or maki them leaa alert and less capable while 01 duty. The owner of one of the natlon'i pets—a prominent base ball team—an nounces that moderation in drinking ii not sufficient; the players on hia tean must leave alcohol entirely alone an< abandon cigarets. Tbe justification foi aucb rule· may be found not only in thi diffioulty of being moderate in indnl gence, but alao in the cumulative an< after-effects of dissipation. The worlt i· moving; tbe old fetich of "peraona liberty" at whatever coat ο# danger U tbe pnblio at large aeems to be losing iti Eiwer. Tbe Journal of tbe Amerlcai edical Association think· that tbe tim< may come when every man to whom thi life and safety of others are entraate< may be expected or even required to b as abstemious as ball-player· and rail way employee·. Sorry We Told Oars First. (Mala· KxcbLage.) Rising to fortune in a night'· time wai the experience of Jeeee Herri η of Canaan Monday. John D. Rockefeller with hii wealth, or Lord Byron riling to fame never felt happier iims did Mr. Herrii when on' going to hia trap· Monda] morning he found a black (ox valued al $2,000, a gray fox valued at 91,000 anc two red fox··. Bnt that iaa't all. Whil< Mr. Herri η was looking after hia trap* in the wood·, Mr·. H«rrin who waa la the road waiting for him, aitting la th< carriage holdiag her rifle la ber lap, thinking she might see a partridge, suddenly aaw the head of a big buck s abort diatance away. She deliberate!] but aiowly railed her rifle and aimed ai near to the deer's shoulder as she could and fired. Tbe deer dropped but ro«« •gain, but after leaping but a tew rodi fell dead.

There will also be a large Democratic I majority in the national boaae, and I probably a narrow Democratic margin In I tbe senate, ao that the national govern I ment will be entirely in the bands of tbe Demoorats. Tbas for the first time la I twenty years the responsibility will rest I solely npon that party. I As far as the latest retnrns indicate, I tbe reanlt ia about tbas: Taft is assured tbe electoral votes of Utah a»d Vermont, I a total of 8, with the possibility if not I the probability of 4 more in Idaho, I where the official count will be required. I Roosevelt is sure of Michigan, Mioneso I ta, Pennsylvania and Washington, a to· I tal of 72. California with 13 electoral Ι votea ia so close between Wilson and {Roosevelt that apparently tbe offioial I count If not tbe courte will have to de· I clde It. With tbe possible exooption ol 1 South Dakota and Wyoming, the rest ol I the states will vote for Wilson, who will I have 400 or more electoral votée out of ι I total of 531. I In Maine tbe vote was, by presi figures: Wilson, 50,987; Roosevelt 48,450: Taft, 26,538; Debs, 2672; Cbafln 1681. Wilson's plurality in Maine ii therefore a little over 2500. His vote ii I less than tbe aggregate vote for Roose I velt and Taft by almost 25,000. I Estimates baaed on the early and In loomplete returns give Wilson 46 pei I cent of the popular vote of the entire I country, Roosevelt 29 per cent, and Taf 125 per cent. These figures will need re I vising with the full returns, and then I is yet no basis for any thorongb analyaii I of tbe figures of tbe popular vote. Governor Wilson, the president-elect I Is a man of high character, and of un Iquestioned ability along some lines I though without actual experience in an] I department of the national government I Whether he will have tbe wisdom anc I tbe backbone and tbe force to meet an< grapple with tbe difficult problemi I which any inoumbent of the presidency I must meet, Is the question with regari I to him personally. As far as tbe part] I problem ia concerned, It is tbe queetioi I whether tbe Democratic party, in ful I control of tbe government, will under II take to carry out literally its platform Ian essential and foundation plank ο I which is that protection Is nnconstitu I tional, and that the tariff should b I levied only for purposes of revenue II Time will show. 1 Elsewhere In this issue are given tb I figures of the vote for the Oxford Count I towns last Tuesday, also tbe figures ο I the September vote. Most of these ar I semi-official, having been fnrniahed tb I Democrat by the town clerks, but th I figures given for tbe vote of some of tb I towns at last week's election are unoflj : I oial, do not give tbe vote of tbe Socialii .

All the men were away, logging that winter. With the help of a sma. boy I did all the chores at the barn, bo was rather lonely and finally decided t invite some email boya to come in, and would give tbem aome leaaona. Ther were no achoola in that plaoe then. We bad bat few booka, and it did nc take many in that day. I think ther were five boya, and tbey seemed ver anzioaa to learn. There waa one poo little boy who came a mile through th snow, jnst a foot path; be said be want» to learn to read and make figures on state. The other boys would laugh s him for he could not speak without stul tering very badly at times. When b wanted any help he would call me "Si Sa-Sarah, cast an eye over here; am see If I do-do-do this right!" tbe boy would laugh and be would cry, poo little fellow. I used to pity him, am tried to belp him all I could in school hours. I tried to befriend him, for hi parents were so poor that he was thin I; olothed, and often did not bave enougi to eat. Though tbe boys made a goo many snowballs and snow-men whe tbey were out doors, they were quiet an well behaved in the "school-room" We had chairs for seats, and benche made of rough boards to put tbe scboc books on when tbey studied. Wha would the boys of to-day think of such chance as that to attend school? The little boy of whom I spoke wa trying to be a good boy. One night h rose Id a little prayer meeting and said "I want to be a good boy and not aweai but you are all la-la-laogbhg at me and grin-grin-grinning at met so can't" When he became older and went int tbe war, be was taken prisoner and po into Llbby Prison with others, and ther be suffered untold miseries. He lived t come back and I talked with him. H said one day a big dog followed his mai ter In where tbey were, and he did no notice blm when be went out. It wi only a few minutes till the dog wasdivic od up among the starving men. Tb boy bas now grown to manhood an lives in New Hampshire near where b once lived, and is quite proeperom Perseverance, and patience in sufferin will surely bring good results. No one lives In tbe little log hous< but there are good roads along tbe rive for miles and miles, and tbe little ateao era ply the lakes there, freighted wit city company, all through the long sun mer months. They have nice scboc houses, and In tbe "Lower Town", meeting boose. Mrs. S. B. Babtlhtt. * Miss R. T. Newell of City Point, Be! * fast, has been granted, by tbe Wester .
