Commercial Travellers, Excursion

The eleventh annual outing of the
Maine Commercial Travellers took place
at Spurwink Saturday despite the wealth
er. About forty went over in Fairfield s
barges The game of base ball proved
exciting, interesting, and at times lu-
dicrous. The Hustlers and Laggards
were opposed to each other and owing.to
the erraticism and personal preference of
Umpire Durham in favor of the Lag
CARDS, the score stood to II at the close.
The clam bake, like all Mitchell serves,
was most toothsome. The usual funny
stories were told and while the rain
dampened the sports it didn't dampen
the spirits of the party. They all declare
they had splendid time.

In a Tub to Harpswell.

Gus Frates, who recently went from
this city to the Casco bay landing at

cate his feat by going in a tub from Port
land to Harpswell. He will be allowed to
stop twice at Peaks and Long island
Saturday while not entirely resolved to
make the attempt, he was inclined to
think that he should try it. He does not
expect any considerable trouble before
reaching Long island His only difficulty
will be that he will be cramped up in his
narrow space. On his first attempt he
was unable to move without assistance
when he reached Peaks and the long run
from Long island to Harpswell might be
TOO much for him

Some Curious Poetic Effusions Found
Craven on Tombstnnes.
Here are some epitapbs brought back
to town by summer tourist. The first
three were found in GAINESVILLE, n. Y.
Henry Gay had three wives-So-
phronia Emeline and Jane. Sophronia,
died November 5, 1880. Her epitaph
reads:
Don't mourn for me; the die Is cast
Our life is like fading rose
Prepare for ded tn and follow me,
And in your Saviour take repose.
Emeline died November 80, 1892
Upon her tombstone was this verse:
Submissive to stern decree
l come, SophrOnia, after thee;
To rlingle dust and join thy spirit,
In that blest world that saints inherit,
May Henry and our progeny
Join us In blest eternity.
Jane joined the others on September
II, 1916:
The bonds Of earth are severed:
Thou art numbered with the blest;
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest.
.Gother epitaph at Plymouth reads
briefly:
To father,
Parted below.
To mother
Joined above.
Two children have this unfeeline

Here lies two babes,
AS dead as nits,
What shook to death
With ague fits.
