Gallagher, quartermaster and COM
mssary; DR.. w. e. Efwell, the surgeon
in charge, and A. l.. Stephenson, post

The hospital OF the Home, of course,
is one of the most important depart
ments. There the CHIEF surgeon IS
assisted in attending the 1886 patients
by Drs. B. D. Ridlon of Portland:
Ralph H. Hunt of Bangor, and c. p. r.
Borden of Portland
The hospital is taxed Just about to
it's capacity. There are 6S attendant
who are kept busy enough. And, as
would be expected, as the years roll By.
the veterans troubles become worse.
During the past five years the per-
centage CT toGal sick to the average
present at the Home has very consid-
erably increased.
comparatively new departure at
the hospital is the dietary system, so
that the convalescents can receive Just
the food necessary for their progress.
Then, in connection with the hospital.
there is matron, Mrs. A. j. Whit
redse. She with six assistants admin
listers care to the veterans who are sick.

The winding road leads through the

to turn his hand at some diversion.
There is also masterpiece of little tin

On the hill stands the monument which
is a remarkably imposing one. 1t is sit
uated among the trees and in place
suggestive of an eternal rest OF peace,
free from war and its disastrous results
as here can be seen, among the dead and
the living of those who fought for their
country.
Rev. E. A. Horton of Boston, who gave
the Memorial address in June, then spoke
to just 140 who were residents about Is
years ago. when he was at the home be-
fore. Death and removal from various
causes makes many changes in the city

morning. Ruel Seekins and Boyd Har-
kline were arraigned before Judge An
drews, for intoxication. Both pleaded
guilty but they afterwards made state
ments that caused trouble for the ones
who sold them the liquor. Seekins was
discharged upon his telling the court
where he brought his liquor. Harkine
was fined 50 and costs which he paid.
The clerk at the City hotel was
brought before the court charged with
selling the liquor to Seekins. He was
fined $50 and costs and was given until

A visitor passing through the streets
of this complete little city, ifa stranger,
finds much to see that is all new.
1t is early in the day and the sun
shine falls across the wide meadows
that lie to the south and east of the
main throug'hfare. The breakfast ourls
passed and one of many days, all much
alike to the veterans, has commenced.

Some alone, some in groups, they
come out for a walk and smoke. Or,
perhaps, on the sunlit piazzas they
breathe in the fresh morning air. And
at the hospital, the broad verandas of
which face the east, the patients, those
who can, are seated where they can
get all the out-of-doors possible; and
of that the convalescent cannot receive
too much in the summer time.
So the time passes until the noon
hour when it is dinner time. Once
again the men gather at the long tables
