The lad la coming within tha next few days to Maine as a hunter and hopes to go away with the law's allowance of two deer and one moose, dose time on big game banting In Mala, will close the ' last day of November. , Not since Theodore Booserelt came to Mr. Sewell'a camp In 18&0 to recu perate from orerstudy at Harvard has the little town of Island Falls been so much stirred up, with the possible ex ception of the departure of Bewell to Washington to participate la the Inau guration of Mr. Booserelt as president ' That day was even more important than the one on which Sewell and his wife and daughter arrived home from - tiie capital or the receipt of the mall ' which announced the appointment of the president's friend as collector of easterns for the district of Aroostook . after a bard light against Thomas ti air of Fort Fairfield, the starch king ' of the world. -V ;,Vv. .

But the president promised Bewell then and there that If Kermlt expressed a desire to hunt moose in future years Mr. Sewell .would hare the honor and duty of looking after the lad. It waa not until a few days ago that the moose lust secured control of Ker mlt Going to bis father, the sugges tion waa made that the time was ripe for a trip to Maine. The president wrote a letter to Sewell and asked if a few days' time could be given to the boy at the camp by the shore of Lake Mattawamkeag. Sewell didn't stop to answer by let ter he telegraphed and preparations were at one started to welcome Ker mlt Sewell will let revenue collections take care of themselves while Kermlt Is la Maine and will devote all his time to trailing big gam. Into a corner where Kermlt can easily bring it down with his rifle. The camp where Kermlt will spend his eights looks not much different to day than It did a quarter of a century ago, when a freckle faced, consump tive looking lad wearing eyeglasses dropped off the stagecoach and mad. 'for Bin Sewell's house. The boy kept by himself, and neighbors spoke of blm as "Teddy the Beady." Sewell told those who spoke disrespectfully of the young man that bis guest would some day be president and he was right There Is little that Is attractive about the camp. : Its Interior consists mostly of bunks ranged along the side and covered with fir tree limbs for pil lows and quilts. On on. side them Is aa open fireplace, on the opposite a Tough table, where th. guests take their meals, and along the walls there are a few trophies of the bunt: The exterior Is of pine boards In the rough. sod several holes have been patched up wm pieces of tar paper sad th. Ilk.' For blinds to th. windows there are thick boards, which an fastened on the inside with hooks when th. snow gets to blowing la too fiercely. The chimney Is on the outside of the building and Is built of stones, which bar. been dug from the boles made by trees blown over in. windstorms. The outside looks anything but cheery, but It la In direct contrast with that of the Interior. - Bewell will go to Bangor to meet Kermlt when be comes to the state. Mrs. Sewell and Miss Sewell win go along and probably "Wilbur Dow, who was with Sewell and Kermlt s father on the ranch in the west back In the eighties. . - . - ... : Xatlaaal Aapla Bar. -At the Jamwtowa exposition, to t held next year, there win be a special exj et aside- to be known aa apple day, MTi th American Fruit and Nut Journal.

Special; A party . of congenial spirits , b a d foregathered in Senator ; Tillman's apartments one recent rainy bunday alter noon and the conversation ! drifted to a discussion of music and popular songs. To my mind. ! remarked the" South Carolina Senator, the tenderest and truest sentiments are expressed in . the second verse of John Anderson, My Jo Jonn.:Vr;;x-:'-;c-:r ! It describes in quaint but unmis takable -r language the feelings of an aged couple who have trod iif' n.rhwv h M anA are going along the same path o-rHr. t, ca, n.th' hand In hand, over ' the great divide. They rebuke in t heir homely, old fashioned style the fads of these later days when the tendency of the times seems to be devoted to tearing; asunder family ties and relationships as shown in some of the recent divorce suits instituted through out this country.To all who love wives and firesides let me call attention to the following lines: "John Anderson, my Jo John, We clamb the hill thegither. And many a canty day, John, We've had wi one anither. Now we maun totter down, John; But hand in hand we'll jto, And sleep thejcitber at the foot, John Anderson, my Jo. "Nothing has ever been written in prose or poerty," con tinued; Senator T i 1 1 m a n which surpasses in affection and sentiment these lines, and they have made an indelible impres sion upon my mind ever since I first read them." On the sub ject of music Mr. Tillman said, while he bad been charged with being a proficient piano player and bass singer, his. sole accom plishment in either "line was an ability to play tunes on the har monica, or mouth organ. His ear foi music is cultivated to the extent that he could iaithfully reproduce on his instrument any tuues he ever heard played or sung. - When he was younger he had on numerous occasions help ed out in the choir, of a Presby terian Church but he had never made any pretence as a "tenor robusto or basso profundo.'f Just good old fashioned hymns are in cluded in his repertoire and he bad a fondness for Ben Bolt, the author of which was the late Congressman English, of New Jersey Edition For The Blind. American Press, The Daily Mail, said to be the most popular paper in Eng land, has made au entirely new departure, for it published Dec. 10 an edition for the blind. There are 40,000 blind persons in the British islands, and this edition, printed in Braille characters, will carry to those people a ray of new hope and alleviate the sad monotony of their darkened lot.
