Element of Portland, and the 107th celebration

The Marston Tavern House Of IT'S,

The Marston Tavern House of ITS.
Among the historic spots in the city very
properly marked on Independence day for the
information OF passers, was the ''site of Mars
tons tavern to which Capt. Mowatt was taken
prisoner by Col. Thompson, June 1775."
This is on the south side of Middle street, Mar
ket Square. The hat store, and the two Others
west of it, occupy the lot The old tavern
house itseJ might have been pointed out as a
relic Of past age. 1t now stands on the south
side of State street, next above the corner of
York street, numbered 80 and 49, After Mag
ton, it had several landlords ON its original
foundation. In 1916 it was kept by Timothy
Boston, and the first elephant ever exhibited
IN Maine was shown in shed yet standing
there in the rear, adjoining the stable The
elephant was called Betsy" and was way
laid and shot in the woods in Alfred soon after
from spite to the Snowman. Next after T.
Boston the house was kept by Israel Water
house, who afterwards, in company with Sam
uel Hale, owned the eastern stage line. The
Office for all the stages was kept at this house
up to 1926. Then Kept by Asaph Kendall.
That year Hale and Warehouse, stage proprl-
etors, built the elm House, using as nuc
leus the brick house on the north corner Of
Federal and Temple streets. To the new house
the stage office was removed
Land on Market Square was becoming valu-
able for stores; this, with the loss CT the stage
business, sealed the fate of the time-honored
tayern-it must CO. 1t was purchased by Caleb
Lord, who, with the assistance of Eli Weob
and large team of oxen, moved it to its pres
ent Locations occupying two days in the transit,
from its great weight in timbers. There it was
made into two tenements; the only alteration
made in the exterior was new front entrance
and the four-sided roof was built up at the
ends to modern twc-sded roof. II yet main
tains its ancient dignity, and Is now owned by
Mr.. Charles B. Rogers.
On the removal OF the original massive cen
ter chimney, whose open fires had warmed and
cheered the cooked hats of the town for three
quarters OF century ,one OF Mowatts shot was
found imbedded Ia the masonry. II was said
that this house was the target for the shots Of
the flagship on the 18th of October, 1775, sew
eral Of which crashed through its wooden
walls This will account for the early burning
OF the Bayly house, nearly opposite. 1t was
undoubtedly the arrest and detention Of Now
att in June BY the hot-headed Col. Thompson,
of Brunswick, that brought him here with his
squadron in October TO burn the town He
had broken his parole of honor, and sought TO
wipe out the memory OF it. Besides the Mars
ton tavern there are several others not includ-
ed in "the lisL of FIVE houses now standing
which survived the burning Of the town in

SOOTHING SYRUP should always be used when
children are cutting teeth. 1t relieves the lit
tie sufferer at once; it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and the

wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best
known remedy for diarrhes, whether arising
from teething or other causes. Twenty-Five

She became unconscious and died soon

erty, and one morning sweet William
overheard the boy bowling dismally.
Why howleth the kid?" inquired
Bill.
He was bad boy and 1 have been
whipping him. But I made him kiss
me afterward to show him that it was
more in sorrow than in anger that 1
punished him.
Did you really ask that poor child
to kiss you?" said Bill.
YES" answered his wife.
.How could you be so cruel,'' said
Bill, ''as to add new tortures to the
punishment already inflicted?"-

MALONE.

Come not, o bold Malone,
To Washington to grumble and 20 gYoau,
When chill NOvembers vote
Shall leave you screaming in sinking boat.
Just then our handsome President will
frown
And let you drown.
Ohio tells the tale!
No wonder that your bearded face grows
pale,
No wonder that your tools
Begin to call themselves the worst of fools,
AS vanishes the guerdon of their toll,
Virginia's spoil.
And whittier will you go
When Genes your first and final overthrow
What can you ever claim
From those whom you have overwhelmed
with shame?
How gladly will they then repudiate
You and your fate!
You represent abroad
A shameful bargain and a wretched fraud
Race war and neighbor's hate,
The civil service in its worst estate:
And no repentance ever can efface
Your dark disgrace.
The President will then
Be always busy with his facile pen;
And your so recent friends,
Because no longer you can serve theil
ends,
Will sneer at you when you are over
thrown,
Too bold Malone!
