Old Orchard. July "A clever
swindler, who represented himself
Henry e. Allison Of the St. Johns Com
mandery of knights Templar of Proyi-
denoe. r. l., attempted Ito work his
game on D. K. Swan, the proprietor of
the Imperial house today. He came. he
said, to make arrangements for a party
Of rs from the st. John Commandery,
who were to arrive here tomorrow with
ladies and band of 50 pieces and remain
until Monday noon. The fellow told
Proprietor Swan that bis house should be
decorated for the occasion and offered to
go to Portland and secure the necessary
flags and bunting for the purpose. He
took the train for Portland. but returned
in the afternoon and told Mr.. Swan he
must have s75 as deposit to leave with
the Portland decorator to insure The re-
turn of tho decorations. Nr. Swan
smelled rat, telephoned to Providence
and found that the mans story was q
fake Before he could be arrested the
fellow had escaped, with the woman who
accompanied him. On west bound train.
Mr. Swan is very jubilant over his
escape from the trap which was laid for
him, but bemoans the loss of the outlay
for provisions and the extra help hired for
the occasion.

about the battlements of Fort George,
recently erected by them on the high hill
overlooking the little hamlet, which
was the scene of desperate encounters

French and the English made 1t the
theatre of warfare. The Castine of still
later date, presents to the mind of the
visitor another picture in which the red

and, being unable to be present at to,

Mrs. Dole:
MRS. DOLE'S POEM.
Baron Vincent de st. Castinel
The name rings out full stately and fair,
But the Baron is no longer there-
Gone-with his beautiful Indian queen.
All the dusky maidens have fiibrad and
flown,
And the pale face is left to dwell alone, -
But the name still lingers-Castine-
Castine-
Sweetest Of oil sweet names weenl
And fair and stately indeed is she
AS she sits ip her beauty beside the SEA.
And the sounding waves roll on-roll on
And hundred years have come and
gone,

woe,
Bearing souls out to the great unknown;
Desolate wrecks over unknown seas

it is not the fact that the town is 100
ysars old, perhaps, which gives today's
celebration it's chief Importance in the
eyes of the visitor. It is rather that this
occasion serves so recall to his mind the
romantic history Of the place. He sees
the little settlement Of French peasants
with their masters. the members of the
nobility, who were the rulers of this lit
tie fort in the Wilderness. He sees the
Baron of st. Castine, ''swift as the mind

The eventful dawn of centennial day

May we not ask ourselves in serious mood
Why we are here? OF good what have

For the quick passage of hundred years
So marks for us the rapid flight of time
Wore startled as we pause, and think
that they
Who with US lived and loved and thought
and planned
We're our own friends, perhaps our very
sires.
Come then, go kindly back with me in
thought;
Well say tits seventeen hundred and
ninety-six.

sake,

Meagre indeed the records of the past
From then to later time when Britain

Oar own fair land now counted 1T as hers
But England tieroely claimed it as her
