"MAINh'S GONE DEMOCRATIC."
Malinda attho washtub heard her man's
voice far away
Shout something on theautumn air that
seemed to make him gay;
The cchoes shook the woodland and
when he came dancing home
His eyes were full of sunlight and his
lips were full of foam:
"Maine's gone Democratic,
Yes, the good old State at last
For Tippyranoe and Tyler too
It's mighty vote has caat!"
Upon the tall akyscraper where the
workmen inthe sun
Toased rcd-hot bolts arrosa the hlue and
caught them one by one;
A atreet ery rang around them like the
music of the bird,
And nVr the romping engine's voice
thia melody they heard:
"Maine's gone Demorratii*,
She has, for sure, done that,
And soon the grand old party
Won't know where in jail it's at!"
The engincer leaned out his eab aa on
the engine flew,
And heard at ninety miles an hour a
erowd'a wild hullaloo;
Into the atatiaa when ba raa and shut
his ataaaa ehcat oiT,
Vhe Baaaaaajfl rang ahove Ihe roar arul
? hiitl' and chew and rough:
"Maine's gone llenw raiir,
If it hasn't I'll stand pal
And eat my shirt and eat my ahoes
And eat my old straw hat."
liie preacher paused a moment in hia

As o'er the sacred hynin of praise there
hurst some rugged rhyines;
rhe newsboys' Itmgs wete shoiiling and
through windows rineine, dear
Ahove the old pipe organ ros-.e tln- ditty
on the ear:
"Maine'a gone Democratic.
llere's yer extra, how 8he's went
Fer Tippy and fer Tyler
And hnoray fer Tiov'nor Kent!"
Wherever civjljzation .on jta daily mund

In tiny backwoods piaces 'neath a soft
andtjuiet sky,
ln roaring strceta of < ;lje*. far and near

And fiflcen million timeH a day tbe world

and many of (he passengers got uerv

FIRE RULES FOR MOTORBOATS.
An important ruling whieh was sent
to theCollector of the Port of Baltimore
by the Department of Commerce and
Labor regarding the fixing of the fines
in r.-.ses where motorboat owmrs fniled
to comply with the reviaed act of July
9. 1910, regarding prompt and effective
means of extinguishing burning gaso?
line was announced yesterday. Under
the provisions of the act the fines for
the violations of this section cunnot be
remitled hy the Sooretary of Commerce
and I.alior.
In the ruling given by the department
the oollertor is instructed that in eases
were motorl>oHts whieh did not have
meana ready for immediale use the
matler should hereported to the United
States District Attorney of that city.
The law on this subjer-t and the line
provided for under the not is as follows:
"Section G. That every motorboat
and also every vessel propelled hy ma?
chinery other than by steam more than
PT> feet in length shall earry ready for
immedinte use the means of prompt!y
nud ctfeetually extinguishipg burning
gasoline.
"Sertion 7. That a fbjft r.nt exceed
ing $1(M) may be im|M>s*'<l for any violp
tion of this aet. 'lhe motorboat shall
be bable for the said penulty and may
Ua aaHneal arul nraa^andad against, hy
way of lilvcl, in lhe Phatrfet Court of
the United States for any distrirt with
in whieh such vessel may be found.

burning gasoline the depnrtments ar

quantity. Just what is ronsidered aa a
sufftVient quantity has not as yet heen
delinitely defined.
FIGHTING THE FLY.
With tho Btaaaa that is pasaing there
eaaaaa to a baaajaaraiy eaaalaaiaa th?
most vigornus, concentrated, deter
mined warfare ever waged against the
house Hy, more uppropriately and cor
rectly known of late aa the "typhoid
fly." It seems that if anything delinite
about this pest has been diacovered, it
is that the fly spreads contagion, and
especially tho typhoid feyer gernj. In
Albany the authoritjescame tothis con
clusion and in Washington, where there
bas been an outbreak of typhoid, the
ductora in general share tbis opinion.
Hy aystejnatic work carried on by
medical men and others intercsted in
the general welfari., tlje public has been
systematically advised of the dangerous
character of the fly and has been taught
how to fight it. Its life hiatory has
been explained, and tbe necessity shown
of destroying its breeding piaces. The
season is not yet onried, but jt is not
too soon to consider the mannerin which
the fight against the Hy is to bf carried
on next year.
Medical acfence ln theae days ia con
eeraed even more with the problem of
preventing diaease than it ia with cur
ing it. The brightest minds in the pro
fession are engaged in aoeking out and
localizing thegermsof dilTerentdiseases,
and then in learning how to deatroy
those germs. lt haa been found that
innoculation is practicable in combating
other diseasea than smallpox, and there
is eonstant advancement. Sometimes,
however, the effotrs of medical science
are baHled by the inditTerence of the
public, and until lately this seemed to
be the caae with the common fly. Now,
however, the public is uwake, und it
has been making a splendid light. In a
few years, with continued well-directed
effort, the disease-carring fly may
beeome a positive rarity.
NURSING A GRUDGE.
A had memory ia often the adjunet of
magnanimity. personal injuries fade
t>ut of the normal mind even when they
are not forgiven, but where we get a
good memory and a bad heart tliey
rankie forever. There are few recol
lections whieh any of us would consent
to lose if we were consulted; but the
pleaaure to he gainod from the going
over of grudges, whlle it is undeniable,
is fearfully unwholesome, ia liahle, in
fact, to undermine the moral health al
together. To thia form of intemperance
the man with an exceptionally long
memory ia most prone. "How badly I
was treated," he saya to himaelf. "The
truth is I am too good-natured, too
scrupulous, too highly strung. In this
rough world every man should look out
for himself" -and he proceeds to teach
aome one else the same unfortunate
lesson. The constant renewal of his
sense of injury has made him think bet?
ter of himself and act worse hy his
neighbor than he would ever have done
had he been more forgetful. But all
these troublesare unknown to the person
whoae memory is, as it were, porous.
From any expression of determined
revenge all decent people now shrink.
It ia a passion w?th whieh persons above
a certain level of cultivation hurdly
count. Hard work, more especially
mental work, destroys the worst forms
or rancor. A continual msh of fresh
thoughta tends to flush the memory and
to wash out personal spite. Neverthe
less the instinct is still active though it
finds an attenuated and as a rule a
vicarious expression. The average man
who is not exceptionally good or bad
returns to the world * the treatment he
has received at the hands of the world.
so faras in him liea. If he is a saint?
and aaints are far commoner than cynios
think?he returns good for evil; if he is
a villain, he returns evil for good; hut
the average mnn is guided hy hia ex
perience he givesbaek "good nnasure,
preased down and running over. "?The

If you value your sweet wife,
Tell her so!

The bond to which the seal is set;
She's of life's sweets the sweetest yet,
Tell her so!
Whenday as dark and deeply blue,

Show her that your love is true ?
Tell her ao!
Your love for her ia no mistaKe ?
You feel it, dreuming or awake?
Don't conceal it for her sake,
Tell her ao!
Don't act, if she haa passed her prime
As though to please her were a crime
If e'er you loved her now'a the time?
Tell her ao!
She'll return for earh caress,
An hundredfold of tenderness!
Hearts like hers were made to hlesal
Tell her so)

Well you know she's all your own.

NO LONGER PITIED.
Not so very long ago the married wo
man lookeddown with pity upon her un
married friend as she gave entertain
inents and went to balls and theatre
partiea and had a good time generally
while the unmarried one stayed at home.
Now things have grown so much in
the favor of the single woman that her
married friend often envies her liberty,
her youthful appearance, caused by the
absence of household cares. and, above
all, her income, whieh Hhe can spepd as
3he wills without aaking any one'a per
ipission. And indeed t,here are worse
thinga than being a bachelor girl pow
adays. Women are firrply eatabhahed
in the busjness world, and they are
beginnjng to be paid large aalaries,
whieh would aatisfy many a man. They
can go almost anywhere without an
escort- to the theatre, to dinner at
many of the restauranta and to nearly
every kind of evenlng affair.
The prosperoufl, clever bachelor girl
is in as great demand as the bachelor
man for week-enda. She is much more
entertaining than the stayathome girl,
and her bright ways and smart costumes
make her a dangerous rival for the
married flirt, who has had thiegs her
own way for so long.
Last and not least, she is able to lay
aside money for her old age, whieh
many a married woman worries over,
and perhapa buy a home in the country
whieh may be here no matter what
befalla. ?Boaton Herald.

This ia the hejghts pf ourdt-serta:
A little pjty fqr life's hurts;
A little rain, a little sun,
A little sleep whep work is done.
A little righteous punishment,
Less for our deeds than their intent.
A little pardon now and then,
Because we are but struggling men.
A little light to show the way,
A little guidance when we stray;
A little love before we pass
To rest bepeath the kirkyard grass.
A little faith in days of chaqge,
When life is dark apd bare and atrange;
A aplace when uqr eyea are wet
With teara of longing and regret.
True it is that we cannot claim
l Jnmeasured recompense or blarae,
Heeauae our way of life ia small;
A little is the sum of all.

"ROASTING EARS."
We do not know what the Indians
talhd roasting ears, but there is no
question that this was one of the prin
ciple articles of diet of the aborigines
when Capt. John Smith and his fellow
colonists established themselves in this
virgin country. A man who was born
in Maine and has lived all about said
that the term was first used in New
Kngland. hut we doubt that, as the
records would nppear to shovv that we
were ntaking lawa in Virginia btfore
the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Koek
or thereabouts, one writer saying that
the first legislative assernbly that ever
ronvened in the country was held in
Virginia "17 mor.ths before the eter
nally lauded Pilgrims ever landed B?ao
Plymouth Kock and 10 years before
lhe rolony of Salem and ftaatiia increas
ed their meager numbera beyond the
hundred."
In Bruce's "Economie Hi.story of
Virginia in the Baeentaentb Centnry,"
page 173, vulume 1, we are told: "The
custopi whieh lhe Indians followeil in
eating their meals was simple. A mai
was spread on the ground and on this
thedisb was plaeed, the broiled fish
and roastiog eara being laid near at
hapd/' Agaip ip the samc hook, page
17-% there is thia note: "In June, July
and AuKMHt they fed on fish, the roota
of the tuekahoo, hafiiea and masting
?ar?."
The rhanees are, therefore. that rorn,
wbich was so important an Bftieb, ,,f
their diet, was call.vi "ranaHnj. ears"
or the eqqivalent in the Indian lianflnt.
aait js reaaonahh* In ananane that they
d'd not eat it raw or uneooked. We
are of the opinion that "roasting ears"
ia "a good Virginia iTfannaion." imis
much as in Virginia lhe white man tirst
uaed corn on the table or mot after the
manner of the Indians. and as it was
roauted before it was eaten the pre
sumption ia that it was called "roasting
ear?." The term appears to have been
used in Virginia aince the seventeenih
century, and doubtless before there
were any Duteh in Pennsylvania. -

"KETCH-AWLS'TROM EVERYWHERE

like most other diseases it is mental.
Lazy people make excuses inatead of
deliyering the gooda. Most excuses are

Uuring our brief atay on earth we have
seen many just such young men cold in
death. We have seen the atheist at
rest in his caaket, but before being
conaigned to their last resting place
they have all been carried through the
doora of a church and had prayera said
over them. This young man could
acoff at ieligion in his strength and
beauty, but if the dark angel should
get after him he would instinctively
regret what he said and look into
lhe future with fear and trembling.
When one stands before the open door
of eternity his desire to acoff at religion
vaniahes. We admit there are bad
men in the church, but even theae

blacker if they were outside. No

WHAT TO DO WITH A BAD TEMPER.
Starve it. Give it nothing to feed on.
When something tempta you to grow
angry, do pot yield to temptation. lt
may for a minute or two be diflicult to
control yourself; but try it. Force
yourself to do nothing, to aay
nothing, and the rising temper will
be obliged to go down because it haa
nothing to hold it up. The person
who can and does control tongue, hand,
heart, in face of great provocations, is
a hero. The world may not own him or
her as such, but God does. The Bible
say8 that "he that ruleth his spirit ia
better than he that taketh a city."
What is gained by yielding ta temper?
For a minute there is a feeling of relief j
but Hoon comes a sepse ol aorrow and
shame with a wish that the temper had
been contrplled. Friends are separated
by a had temper, trouble is eauaed by it,
the "jain ia given to others as well as to
self. The pain, too, often lasts for
days, even years, sometimes for life.
An outburat of temper is like the burst
ing of a steam-boiler, it is impossible ta
tell beforehand what will be the result.
Theevil may never be remedied. Starv*
your temper. lt ia not worth keepiog
alive. Starve it. - Excbange.

Not Cougfaing Today?
Yet you may cough tomorrow! Better be prepared for it
when Jt comes. Ask your doctor about keeping Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral in the house. Then when the hard cold
or cough first appears you have a doctor's medicine at
hand. Your doctor's approval of its use will certainly
set all doubt at rest. Do as he says. He knows.
No alcohol in this cough medicine. JlT7uf9TCo..L<x*U.Ma^
