least the correspondent of a contem-

which hurt her considerably and later
in the season as Green Turner and wife
came into the village ball thrown
across the river struck Mrs. Turner in

was not killed outright. Last week

Buckfield should claim a record if not
the pennant. Ball passing is carried
on in the streets, over and across

unreasonable of all is the fact that il

Rockland Opinion: 1t is no exag-
geration to say that the lives Of three
fifths of the inhabitants of the United
States are rendered miserable during
the closing months of the year by the
terrible responsibility that rests upon
them to make suitable gifts to their
friends. Last Christmas, Mrs. So-and-So |
gave Mrs. Howdedo a worsted dog |
And now it becomes the imperative |
duty of Mrs. How-de-do to present Mrs |
So-and-sO with prairie chicken done |
in crewel work, or a canvasback cat. |
1t is custom that should be abolished |
by mutual consent. Let people give |
presents when they can do so with all |
their hearts, or not at all. Even gifts |
prompted by affection should be regu.
lated by common sense. The child |
that is surfeited with gifts, despises |
them; the young lady who receives Il |

forget the giver in the vanity of DOS

Her age-well, reckoning it with care.

Her bald head, her cap, her gown;
And woe unto him who should strive to

THE THIRTEEN Towns Of last

an interview with Frank Street,
on the result Of the long fight that
he had just taken such q leading

the followin" extract is taken:
1.-THE fight has been a long and
sometimes bitter one. Some Of
the pine land interests did mot
seriously oppose the measure until
dragooned into it by Mr.. Walker,
but when they did once begin
work along with II. B. they

been able to pass the house, az we
did, unanimously. After.enteTing
the senate Mr.. Walker followed
us like an unclaimed hunter,
seemingly not wishing to be salts
fled by any reasonable concession
in the way Of limitation Of taxes,
and it was while in the senate that
he secured the assistance Of the
Pillsburys and Weyerhanser, who
finally pursuaded him to With :
draw his opposition, as our friends
in the house were proposing radi-
cal legislation against all pine
interests. Representatives Harts-
horn and Ferris were Of great as ]
sistance To Us at this stage the
game, and with the aid Of Senator
Whitney's diplomacy enabled us
to secure not only Mr.. alker s
assent to, but his assistance in
passing the bill. And after an
agreement had once been reached,
it only took ten hours to get it
through beth houses, with the
Walker amendments.
@ ,sWe had some very firm friends
in the senate. Dr.. Dunham, Of
Anoka, Culkin of Wright, Nc
Hale of Scott, Hodge OF Pine,
and Stevens Of Ramsey, all gave
us valuable assistance on the
floor, while Senators Whitney,
Ringdal and Hennemann were

There are thousands of people in all
walks of life, particularly at this sea-

yet are not sick, for whom a single

of the best tonic, anti-bilious, diuretic

.sTHE NOES HAVE ITg'
No City of South Portland Just
Yet.

The Town Meeting Yesterday Calls Out
Very Light Vote But One Emphaticaliy
Opposed to Adopting a City Charter.
South Portland will not become a city
Just yet. The voters of that town SO
declared In town meeting yesterday by
most emphatic negative vote. The total
vote was surprisingly small considering
the talk which has been made In regard
to the matter. South Portland throws
normally vote Of some eight hundred
polls and at the last election the figures
approached twelve hundred. Yesterday
the total vote WAS only $40, evidenclng
surprising lack of interest on the part OF
the citizens.
1t will be remembered that the last
legislature granted city charter to South
Portland, provided the measure received
the endorsement of the voters Of the
town any time within i've ysars after the
passage of the act. 1t was upon this
question the voters were called by special
warrant to act yesterday.
The small vote yesterday WAS a great
surprise to most everybody syesterday.
One of the town officers said to the
PRESS:
1.-The people of South Portland as I'M
derstand it. conceived this idea. and 1t
was naturally supposed they would sup
port it earnestly. The residents of that
section evidently changed their minds,
for they were most conspicuous by their
absence today. Early in the day a num-
Der of South Porrlnnders who did come
voted solidly against the charter. This
undoubtedly had it's effect. Knightville,
Lig0nia and Cash's Corner went almost
solidly against the charter and the small
vote Of Ferry Village was about evenly
divided. Pleasantdale was the only
settlement that favored 1t strongly"
At six O'Clock the vote was counted
and declared as follows: For adoption,
yes" 1903. Against adoption, "no,"
