The Rockland Opinion declares that
the good people of that city wouldn't toll
crate q sea serpent less than goo or 300
feet long with eyes as big as soup-plates
and heads the size OF beerbarrel. If a
miserable little 15-foot serpent came into
the barbor, we would set the dog on
him
To the credit of Rockland people it
must be said, however, that they are not
accustomed to see snakes as that described
by our contemporary.
After man has worked at trade all
his life without an accident it comes
pretty hard for him to lose thumb in his
SD year; but that is just what happened
recently to William Kinds, veteran
Calais ship builder
One of our Bath business men, SAYS
the Times, has rather peculiar pet
which few people would care to handle
1t is copper headed snake and its owner
is George Parks. The vicious animal was
captured by Mr.. Parks on Centre street
several days ago. After some difficulty
it was placed in box and taken to the
owner S room, where 1t now enjoys life
Mr.. Parks has tanned the animal and
handles it with all the case of graceful
snake charmer, much to the surprise and
admiration of his friends
There is no city OF its size in the country
that looks after the needy so well as Port
land. The charities are all organized, and
there is no need of anyone suffering for the
necessities of life. The women who have
the management of these societies labor in
saason and out of season for the benefit of
those in Iced, but it is fact that strong
healthy men daily refuse jobs because they
know that their families will be provided
Tor. This is a social problem which is a
troublesome one to solve
While holding court mt Bath recently,
His Honor, Judge Haskell, had a some
what novel experience and received, from
an unexpected source, some information
about the law that he had probably never
heard before, There being nothing to do
at court he, with stenographer Hayden,
had paid a visit to Woolwich and had
strolled out into the pasture belonging to
Mr. Myers Reed, who has the distinction
of being the Oldest man in Woolwch and
of having been mixed up with the courts |
a good deal. But Mr.. Reed failed to |
recognize the Judge and seeing, as he |
supposed two trespassers on his grounds |
he hurried out and proceeded to give them |
= dressing down" While impressing |
them with the seriousness of their offense
he emphaticaily remarked lyon don't |
know what the law is in this case you're |
liable to fine of $50 90" The Judge |
refrained from correcting the |
old gcntlemans opinion of him and the
two walked away as if fully realizing for
the first time the serious nature of their |
Offense.
Two young women, who were well |
dressed and had the appearance of ladies
considerable attention recently |
by riding in the smoker from Biddeford |
TO Portland and smoking cigarettes Can
this be the new woman?
The new Shore Line road will bring |
lots of prosperity to owners of the magni-
cent hardwood forests through which
it will pass
Two wolves were recently seen In Letter
A plantation, Aroostook county, by a
gentleman who was driving through |
there with team. His horse was fright.
5ned ut the sight of the animals, who for |
= time stood their ground, but soon after |
took TO their heels and disappeared in the
woods This Is about the same place that
wolves were reported to have been seen
about year ago. 1t is supposed that the
Increase in deer of late years is drawing
iheir old enemies back into this State
igain.
