1t is to be regretted that the strawberry festiva
at the G. A. r.. Hall last Thursday evening wa
not better attended. The appearance of a storm
however, detained those from abroad from coming
and the attendance was very small.
The preparation for the celebration of the fourth

rade of antiques and horribles in the morning with
tub race, wheelbarrow race, potato race, sack
race, and athletic exercises in the forenoon base
ball, running match and balloon ascension in the
afternoon, and fire works and grand ball in the

ELBupGE wATERIoUsE, OF sEARsPoRT, FOUR
YEARS OLD LOST IN TIE WOODS. HUNDREDS
OF PEOPLE JOIN IN THE SEARCH. FOUND AT
TER An ABSENCE OF TWO DAYS AND NIGHTS.
Scarsport and all the surrounding towns were
thrown into fever of excitement last week by
the disappearance of Elbridge, the four years old
son OF Mrs. Asa Waterhousc The family live
the shore road one mile west of Searsport village.
Opposite is the family of Andrew Allen. Thurs
day forenoon the TWO Of Mr.. Allen, the oldest
only nine Years of age, started for days fishing
III the James Smith brook. Their path was up
what is known as the sawyer lane, across pas
turc, and through the woods in a well defined
road. These woods are said to cover 5000 acres,
and the trees and underground are very dense.
The Watcrhouse boy, Just four wears old on that
day, followed the Allen boys up the sawyer lane,
but was ordered to 70 back The boys say he did
turn back and they continued to the trouting
brook This was the last of Elbrdge until
lac WAS found saturday morning, FORT. eight hours
later, three miles from homc. Mrs Waterhousc
supposed her son was with the Allen boys and
gave herself ne uueaoine~S until the afternoon
when they returned without him. The Allen boys
tolt conflicting stories. The Older one said he
drove tho Watcrhousc boy back at pair of bars
leading of from the sawyer lane and in open
sight, while The second Alien boy said it was done
At another pair Of bars you enter the woods.
lI a-o said The Waterhouse BOY followed them
bat they ran away from HIM

Ancient writing Material.

When the Prophet Ezekiel was com.
manded to write about the city Of Jeru-
salem, he was compelled to write his ac-
count on smooth tiles, and we find frag-
ments OF such tiles to this day. The
heaps of broken pots and crockery Of all
sorts, which are now so abundant In all
Eastern towns, prove that bits Of smooth
stone or tiles were constantly used for
this purpose. The Island OF Elephant
inc. on the Nile, Is said 10 have furnished
more than hundred such specimens.
One of these is a soldiers leave OF alb
sence, scribbled on fragment Of an old
vase. How little those scribes and ac-
countants imagined the interest with
which their descendants would one day
treasure their rough notes! Still
quainter were the writing materials OF
those ancient Arabs who, before tie
time of Mohammed. used To carve their
annal, ON the shoulder blades OF sheep.
The "sbCcp- p-chroniclcs' were strung
together, aud thus preserved. Aiter
awhile Sleeps bones were replaced by
Sleeps skin, and the manufacture Of
parchment was brought to such perfec-
tion as to place II among the refine
ments of art. We hear of yellums that
were tinted yellow, others white. 9th
ers were dyed of a rich purple; and the
writing thereon was in golden ink, with
gold borders and many colored decora-
tions. These precious manuscripts
were anointed with the oil Of cedar TO
preserve them from moths. We hear
of one such IN which the name or Mo
hammed is adorned with garlands Of
tul ips and carnations painted In vivid
colors. Still more precious was the
silky paper of the Persians, powdered
with gold and silver dust, whereon
were painted rare illuminations; while
the book was perfumed with altar OF
roses or essence OF sandalwood. OF the
demand for writing material, one may
form some faint notion from the vast
manuscript Libraries of which records
have been preserved, as having been
collected by the Caliphs both Of the
East and the West, the former In Bag
dad, the latter In Andalusia, where
there were eighty great public libraries,
besides that vast one at Cordova. We
also hear of private libraries, such as
that of a physician who declined an in
vitation from the Sultan Of Bokhara,
because the carriage Of his books would
have required 400 camels

Reference to the Vanderbilt pictures
recalls a good story OF the dead million.
aire, who was more famous for good
nature than caustic wit. One day when
his gallery was open TO visitors, along
came man with glib tongue, lots Of
enthusiasm, and dirty hands. He posed
critically before picture after picture,
and bis soile3 hands again and again
came Ia contact with the rich frames
and even the canyasses. Mr.. Wander
bilt looked on askance; he did not like
to say anything Iiarsh, and yet feared
for bis pictures. Finally the visitor
turned to Mr.. Vanderbilt, who near BY
was conversing with personal friends
while he furtiveIy watched the spotted
hands and draped finger nails.

man CALCULATED, "a wonderful gallery,

Occasionally n mighty Nimrod from
the city comes out To hunt game Ia my
neighborhood, said Greenfield farm
er yesterday. "a few days ago saw
swell of chap edging up through my
sugar bush to the wheat field. He had
on long legged boots, and was toggled
and strapped out In regular hunting
fashion. He looked just too purity for
anything. lie carried n darling OF n
gun, and he went dodging around as if
he expected to start up a Bengal tiger
from behind every stump. took y
short cut to the barn and turned the old
peacock loose. The old bird understood
what was wanted Of him. lie pulled
down his eye at me and started for tho
back lots. followed down along the
fence. and pretty soon saw the swell
hunter break cover from the woods.
He was after quail, and he soon sig 2hted
the peacock. The bird had his tail
famed out and his head mp, and could
be seen half mile away. Nimrod got
his gun of his shoulder aud began to
creep up, and by and by he blazcd away.
| saw the whole charge Of shot tear into
ground yards away from the old bird,
but he knew his business. Down he
fell, wings and legs Hopping, and pretS
ty soon he expired. The young man
with darling OF gun reached him
about the same lime did.
Beautiful shot, says he.
81 reckon, says I, but what are
you hnntingE
'Grou-e, says he, and this is the
finest one ever saw.
"'Grouse, you numbskull, but yeu
have killed my peacockH
"Well, the usual results followed.
His chin began to culver, and cold
sweat started out, and he wanted TO
know how much would take TO let IL
him of. sent him TO the house TO see
the old woman. She has got way Of
wiping her eyes and choking her voice
over the death Of that peacock which
always brings In s. extra. She lets this
young swell of for SO, which Is the
usual price, and as be started down the
highway for Detroit the bird got up
and marched back to the barn with a
chuckle that set every hen to laughing.
That's five times we've played IL on the
swell Nimrods within six months, and
expect more fun this summer than e
horse can draw. ."-Detroa Free Press.

MY HERO.

What signifies the outward show!
What signifies his wealth or place?
When we the heart have learned to know
What do we care for form or face?
And what care we for name or creed
That buried ages may unroll,
II under all we clearly read
The record of dauntless soul!
nloyal to his sense Of right,
Ifprompt and sure at Duty's call,
He walks, as walking in Gods sight,
His aim the manifest man of all;
II helpful as the sunbright day,
fpitiful OF others woes,
He follows in the Masters way
And bears blessing where he goes.
II, gaining much, he loses all,
While summer friends go coldly by,
He proves his courage by his fall
Resolved to win the day or die;
With hope alive, in God his trust,
He keeps spirit kind and true,
And rises bravely from the dust
To fight his weary battle through;
II, working on through pain and loss,
His earnest soul be not cast down;
He beareth patiently his cross,
While winning steadily his crown;
The mans hero! and we give
The need of love, which is his due,
No idle praise but while we live,
The wreath of bay. the knot of blue!

A good one is told upon a countryman
who went TO the city and attended the
opera. Securing seat, he was intently
viewing the stage when some one at his
side, thinking from the squint OF his
eyes that he was near-sighted, kindly
handed him an opera-glass. The old
fellow was profuse in thanks, hiding
the glasses behind his hat, turned 1t up
to his lips for moment, and then hand

SHE KILLED HIM.
Capt. Hall, q Famous Secret Service
Oflicer, Comes 10 Tragic End
in Chicago.
He Tries to Kin His WIFE but In the
Struggle He Receives
Fatal Wound.
BrrwEEN MAN AND WIFE.

CHICAGO, ILL, Aug. Capt. Wallace
w. Hall, until recently high officer IN
the secret service OF the United States,
was shot and instantly killed in his home
at NO. 47G Wabash avenue at ll5 this
morning. The fatal bullet was fired
from his own revolver while engaged In a
struggle for its possession with his wife,
Mrs. Annie Hall, who is locked upat the ar
mory. The woman claims that the shoot
ng was accidental. Capt. Hall was mar
ried in Chicago three months ago. His
friends were aware that he was not enjoy
ing domestic peace, but did not anticipate
so terrible an ending. Hall met his
wife while engaged IN the secret service.
While living in the same house an init
macy sprang up between them, which
eliminated in the woman accompanying
him to 81. Louis when he was transferred
To that station early in the present year.
lie was dissatisfied with the station and
protested with such effect against his po-
sitlon that he was recalled to Chicago
But few weeks ago he quit the govern.
ment service, his resignation being called
for. When he found himself out OF EN-
ployment, Capt. Hall began drinking
heavily.
Mrs. Halls father, James NJ, McCoX,
was a member of the household There
was little happiness, Mr.. aud Mrs. Hall
quarreing frequently, especially when he
was in his cups. The woman claims he
frequently threatened her ltia. Yester-
doy the couple Quarreled several times
about business matters. This morning
neighbors heard loud words and crashing
Of furniture followed by pistol snot.
when the police arrived they found Mrs
Hall in front room, alfred In her night
robes, walking eXcitedly about In
back room they discovered the body
Of Capt, Hall, lying face upward on the
door, blood slowly trickling from n
wound Ia the middle OF his breast about
the heart A few feet away lay re-
volver with one empty chamber. la this
room the furniture and bed clothes gave
clear, evidence Of hard struggle Capt.
Hall was attired only In his night shirt,
His feet lay partly under the bed, with
his hesd toward the center of the room,
and the blood which ran from the wound
over the carpet showed that he had died
without changing the position In which
he fell.
His bociy was taken 20 the morgnei ahd
Mrs. Hall was tGken to the Arniory sta
ton. Her father cOrroborated her story
OF the affair, which was that Hall attacked
her and, after bea ing her, took the re-
yolver TO kil her. La the struggle which
ensued the weapon was discharged the
bullet entering Hall - breast.
