is quoted as proving by series of rock S
at North Haven. that Knox county once
was the seat Of great volcano which was
subject to as violent eruptions as Vesu-
yius. Even to the present day lava sheets

Necessity Is the mother of invention
and the tramp Is no exception to tho ap-
plication of this rule. One called at a
kennebunk bakers last week and said
Mrs. Smith wanted cake and jelly roll.
She was in hurry for the jelly roll so

took that carriage for ride to Winnie
gance. To Winnegance they went with
the old shoes humping about and the
white ribbons fluttering in the breeze.

Just out of Fort Fairfield there Is 100
acre field planted with potatoes this sea-
son. 1t was cleared two years ago. How
is this for enterprise and hustle down east?
About SO, 600 worth of potatoes was sold
off this farm last year so that every dollar

to write with view to matrimony. The
young man who found the note considered
the matter in all its phases and decided

the answer with considerable anxiety he
