Maine G. 4. r. Notes.

Bosworth Post. G. A. r.. Portland, re-
ceived $500 from the Walker fund, and
Thatcher Post, also of Portland. $3.50.
Heath Post. c. A. r.. of Gardiner,
which at one time had a membership
of $50. now has less than 100 members.
This decrease is due to the many
deaths among the veterans.
An exchange says that there is no
place like Grand Army post, with a
membership of men who knew what it
was to go through the experiences of
fighting soldiers, for unwritten war
history and entertaining stories.
Shepley Camp Of Portland, gets the
prize sword offered by the Maine Sons
of Veterans to the camp making the
largest gain in membership. AS has
before occurred in other competitive
affairs, Portland and Bangor We're tied
for the trophy. but the division officers
decided in favor of the Portland camp
because of it's previous high record in
gaining members.

The Shakers Ideas Of Medicine.

to a thorough examination as to all
the why's and wherefores of their be-
ing there.
Their stories are quite in keeping
they both alleging that a third party
was the cause of their being in the
| barn. They say they were drunk,

which they found themselves, about
midnight. 1t was this third party who
then, with evident knowledge of the
barn and its Accommodations, had Of

the barn. Tommy and Lorenzo knew
nothing of the place. In fact, they
allege that they sleep at home, nights,
and. moreover, arn't in the habit of
getting drunk.

a short while. He it was who had
