Maine Fish and Game Notes.

A. F. Hoffses of Mapleton, has re-
turned from Big Machias" where he
had been acting as guide for parties

"a skunk is the biggest fool in the
world" says Mr.. Charles O. Cappers
the cleverest amateur trapper in Lew
iston, who can catch a skunk every
night in a flour barrel. All he does is
to incline an empty barrel over stone
or something that will slightly tilt il
and drop in a hunk of bread or almost
anything to bait it. Along comes a
skunk in the night; he smells the bait
Jumps into the tilted barrel, his weight
TIPS it up, and there he is and he can't
get out. Besides having no brains, the
skunk is no jumper. Then Mr.. Frank
Jcpson. Lewiston's expert skunk-skln-
ner rides up and carries the silly little
beast off in a shorts-sack for the sake
of his pelt and his grease. He makes
2 handsome thing out of this little side
line. Indeed, skunk farming has be-
come, a successful speciality in several
Maine towns, and the farmers" find
quick market for their wares.-Lewis-

ing in our city:
To the President and Members of the

l beg leave to submit report of work

for the past year
There has been expended by the COM
mittee during the said period, ,s67S.Se;
1923 families and individuals have been
assisted: more than so tons of coal have
been furnished: about 20 cords of wood
about 40 pairs of shoes have peen fur
nished to children. These are some of
the larger items.
AS you are we'll aware, your eXecu-
tive committee, which consists of lf

The public FUZZY realizes the amount Of
good this organization is rendering 10
those who, in times of extreme need,
appeal to our charity, and we owe to the

ever been sufficient to meet our eXpen-
ditures, and particularly to those three
kind hearted women who have each
sent to US, for number of years, their
yearly subscription of 800. Your COM
mittee has exercised careful discrimina-
ton in rendering assistance, and par
ticularly have we aided aged people,
widows with families, and destitute
children.

The Boomerang Effect Of Hoodumism.
eastern Argus }

The closeness of the vote in Kentucky
furnishes an impressive object lesson
of the boomerang capabilities of
blackguardism in politics. The intense
Indignation aroused among the sound
money Democrats of the State by the
rotten -egging of Secretary Carlisle at
Covington. transferred a large number
of Democratic votes from Palmer and
Buckner straight to Mckinley. But
for this idlotic work of the hoodlum ell
cment it is more than likely that Ken
lucky would have been found in the
Bryan column today.

Years ago Mrs. Cayanaugh took in

vested it in the then mission sand wastes.
When the city grew and her property be-
came valuable, she was in comfortable
circumstances. Then. too, to add to her
prosperity. she recently won quite a snug
SUN in lottery.
After this stroke OF good fortune her
troubles began. for her husband refused
to work, and her son Induced her to exc
cute q decd OF trust. placing all her prop
erty in his hands. He aud his father then
took her forcibly from the house one night
and conveyed her to an asylum, from which
she was released by another man. stu
