This will be a great year for hunters
In Maine II the deer are az plentiful I'M
the woods next fall as they are now re-
ported to be in the grain fields, or
chards and vegetable patches all over
the state. Farmers have been telling
all summer Of the notable tameness OF
the animals and lately they say the
creatures hav become actually bold. A
Caribou farmer says that last week he
saw four fine deer In his oat field. and
drove them out. AS o as he had
gone way they came right back. This
was repeated several times. OF course
he dared not shoot them. Othel m
tell like stories. A party of girls picK-
ing berries near North Rockport a few
days ago left their pals for a few min.
utes and on returning for them found a
big buck eating the berries. And he
continued eating until actually driven

An immense quantity of music, some

court from the middle to the end of the
eighteenth century. The work of sorti
ing and editing the collection has just
been completed and the catalogue con-
sists of nearly 400 pages. 1t includes
may forgotten operas, a quantity oil
ballet music. early symphonies and
chamber works, folk songs and dances
and a splendid collection Of military

Although clockmakers use Roman
characters in making the hours on The
dial, the ourth hour Is written III In.
stead Of Nv. This error originated from
a command by Charles V of France
known in history as Charles the Wise
who having ordered a clock from Henry
Wick, a famous maker, declared that Nv
was wrong and that iii must be sub
stituted. The maker protested. but
obeyed when he was told that he wouio
be beheaded If he stood out against the
Judgment of the king. Ever since that
incident clockmakers the world over
have used iii to indicate the fourth
hour on the dial.
Allen Pettibone of Connecticut, who
recently committed suicide at the age
of "a years, was a ollower of William
Miller, the famous prophet. who pre-
dicted that the world was coming to
end between the years lS4S and 1874.
and who claimed, up to the time of his
death, that the wind up was coming
very soon. The supposition is that Mr.
Pettibone, after waiting a good many
years for the world to quit, became
impatient. and finally decided to get
out himself.
