Lake sebago and the Crooked songo

DRlDGTON, July 20, looJ.
To the Editor Of the Press:
We fear that tourists have not proper ap
probation of the superb inland scenery af-
forded by trip across Sebago, up through
the Songo and into the lakes nestled among
the hills of Naples, Bridgton and Harrison.
There Is no excursion, excepting only that
up the Hudson, which surpasses this. Ma
ture has done her utmost, and land and wa
ter are rich in romance and history. All the
sentiments of ones being are aroused, and it
is just the excursion for lovers who desire to
bring matrimonial inclinations to crisis.
We Portlanders are easily enthused over our
local attractions by the sea. Bar HarbOr,
Old Orchard, and our islands are justly fa-
nous, but have Sebago and the Songo the
summer visitors to place this trip on their
itinerary. They will find
Around Sebago's lovely lake
There fingers not breeze to break
The mirror which its waters make.
And passing into the serpentine Songo they
will be reminded of Longfellow's song;
Nowhere such devious stream,
Save in fancy or In dream,
Winding slow through bush and brake,
Links together lake and lake.
A constant panorama of surprising inter-
est greets the eye of the traveller from the
time the steamer Hawthorne leaves the lake
station until the terminus of the four hours
trip is reached at Harrison. We never can
forget the recital Of that historic tale of
Capt. Frye's remarkable escape from the In
dians, as he leaped from Indian Rock and
swan TO the opposite shore. and as we be-
held from the deck of the steamer the scene
of this incident saw what appeared to De
real Indian creep from the thlcket upon
the rock, discharging his firearms, and as we
viewed the rocks, covered With pictures
painted by the red men illustrating Incl
dents in the history of their tribe, we were
thrilled with interest Here, too, Is Indian
Pulpit and the Hawthorne Cave, which pos
sesses a peculiar interest from the fact that it
was the favorite boyhood haunt Of Haw-
thorne We will not weary the reader, but
cannot refrain from mentioning such attrac-
tions as the picturesque flock" at the con-
fiuence OF Songo and Crooked rivers, Lake
Wyougomic, the bay of Naples" Chnte,s
river. Long Point, Bear Point, L0vejoy' s
Island, Mast Cove Landing, Pleasant Point,
Mt. Henry and the drawbridge at Naples.
Plainly in view along the route also are the
White Mountains, Kearsarge, SaqdleDack
and Peaked mountains. Bridgton, Harrison
and Waterford are the summer homes OF
many of our citizens, and they are all enthu-
siastic in praise of the unexcelled advantages
of these beautiful villages. Il.

this afternoon, from the back raft furnace.

lives The building and machinery were
total loss in thirty minutes.

next building north, took fire, but it was put
out. A coal vessel at the wharf also caught
fire, but was put out with little loss. On the
opposite side of the street people moved out
their furniture. but their houses did not
burn.
The loss was $4,000, as follows:
johnson KniIght,building Ig and machinery $1,000;
ST. Clair Spear, sash building, $1,000; no insur-
ance.

Rollins Ogier, storehouse and stock somewhat
damaged.
Several neighboring buildings took hre, but
were not much damaged. The sash and
blind building was supplied year ago with
Grinnell sprinklers at a cost of 5000. They
did not throw over three feet. The water
supply was partly shut off for half an hour.

telegraphed to the water company at Rock
land, and Rockland shut off her supply, draw
ing only from the reservoir, and giving Cam
den the full benefit.

Christmas.
From the Century


The intensity of modern life and the
deepening of consciousness through in
telligence breed sadness. We think too
much and work too hard to have time
tor enjoyment; and if we suddenly dis
cover t. at we have need of it, we take
IL IN lnordlnate quantities, rather than in
SIMPLE and natural ways; we 60 out and
buy pleasure at so much the hour in
stead OF somehow contriving to live q
mirthful life. Close observers of mod
ern society, like Walter Besant, have
discovered that main lack in the lives
OF the poor is that of cheer, and he
urges that philsnthropic plans should
embrace measures for daily Frightening
experience of pleasurable sort. 1t
would be somber fact if the number
of those, who live through day without
laugh or even a smile could be ascer-
talned-a strange miscarriage of Nature
since man is the only being within her
dominion who is capable OF that action.
Christmas has rendered the world this
good service, that now for many centu-
ries it has called men to sympathetic
cheerfulness. It comes, indeed, but
once year, but for some days the cloud
on the brow Of humanity lifts little and
the wall dies out of its voice. At times
it has been too obstreperous in it's mirth
and called for puritanic check, but for
the most it has been true to its origin
and stirred the human heart to sympa-
thetic gladness and hope. We shall
soon hear the growls of the pessimistic
critic, over the wastefulness of Christ.
mas gifts and the irrationality of Christ
mas m!rth. Heed him not; he does not
know that the keynote of the universe
is JOY, and that Christmas laughter is
only stray echo of an eternal hymn,
and nearly the only one that has
reached us, and that is we'll worthy of
being caught if we would ever hear the
whole. Therefore, fathers, give gifts to
your children, even if you have to less
en- the daily portion, remembering the
wisdom OF Mahomet, who said that if
she had two loaves of bread he would
sell one and buy hyacinths. for they
would feed his SOUL" And, ye children,
stir up your fathers to mlrth; Christmas
comes but once year, and the years
LETT to them may not be many.
