Game and Protective Association now visit
ing 10 Bar Harbor. They have found tha'
| some fashionable restal rant, in Bar Har
Dor offer as high as $3.50 pair for
young partIidges now to serve on
their tables, when the birds do not
dress larger than robins. Hunters
coming upon a flock of young par
| tridges at this season are able to secure
them all, when later, after the law is of
and they have grown larger, some can es-
cape from every flock to breed for next
seasons supply of game. Messrs. Higgins
and Norton, the Game Protective Associa-
tons officers now in Bar Harbor, have no.
titled parties interested that the association
will vigorously prosecute all such violations
of law that may come to their attention.
A Portland lady who has been engaged in
the business of keeping boarders for several
years comments on the fact that with very
few exceptions no houses are built for the
accommodation of such establishments.
The houses obtainable for the purpose are
as rule inconvenient and make the work
much harder than in house designed
somewhat for such needs. 1t would seem
that few houses built in conformity with
the idea of experienced keepers of boarding
houses might fill a long felt want.
Tristram Goldthwaite is reported by the
Biddeford Times to have INDUCED in re-
marks of the genuine Texas variety at the
recent Democratic county convention in
York. 1t says: "Mr. Goldthwaite's oratOry
was of the spread-eagle, sky-scraping kind,
and he couched in vocabulary decidedly
his own. He raved about the "sherif .
swill-barrel." the contemplate Williams
| and "curs" and the "rottenness" OF the
State legislature. His style of oratory
helps to make a Democratic convention
picturesque. He wins applause, but his
exaggerated declarations have no weight
especially with those who know him best.
He is political humorist. A convention
without him would be like circus without
its clown"
A Fish and Game Association was re-
Gently formed in Houlton to protect the
game of that section. 1t is already report
ed to have large and influential member
ship.
The Somerset Reporter says that as the
evening train was entering that town few
days ago, little child living in one of the
houses beside the track, about one-half mile
out from town, had a miraculous escape
from horrible death. The child, tot of
not more than three or four years, had
gained possession of baby carriage, and
in its play had reached the track with it
just as the train came along. The engine
struck the carriage demolishing that, which
in its fall threw the child off rather than on
the track. As it happened the little one
escaped unframed.
the following story of Ellen Terry's ready
wit She had offered to introduce news
paper man to Mr.. Irving. but unfortunate
ly, when the opportunity of doing so pre-.
scented itself, she had utterly forgotten
his name. Naturally, however, she felt
that it would be a poor compliment to
tell him so. Her ready wit did not
forsake her in this trying emergency,
and she promptly said to him: "Do
you know that I've made wager with Mr..
Irving, and you can decide it. He says you
spell your name one way and l say another.
Write it for me-" All unaware of the
trick that was being played on him, the
gentleman wrote down his name and hand
ed it to the actress. She glanced at it hasti-
ly, laughed, and said gaily; "I've won the
bet" 1t was such realistic bit of acting
that the newspaper man, although it was
his business to criticise plays and players,
never detected it.
