A village Built Of Stolen Lumbe


Eddington Bend, an unincorporated set
tlement in the town of Eddington, three
miles above Bangor Me-, on the Penobscot
river bears a remarkable distinction; riy-
er men say that it was built wholly Of
stolen lumber. Above Bangor the river
makes a generous bend above the bend
there have stood for more than fifty years
big mills in which logs from the Maine
forests have been sawed into lumber and
RATED below to the city for shipment Be-
sides filling up the bed of the river with
sawdust, these mills have from year to
year sent down a good many stray
boards, which, detached from the RATS by
the swift current, have been borne into the
eddy in the bend and lodged there.
The first mills In the locality were estab-
lished before 1910. Early in 1915 the land
about the bend was wholly uncultvated
and Unbiased. In the summer saving the
river men going up and down saw sin
gle individual at work upon the bank, and
before the snow blew down the valley
there had grown up on the river shore
comfortable shanty built wholly of fine,
new boards. The mill men laughed at the
enterprise of the newcomer. They enjoyed
the way in which he picked up their stray
stock and made it into a house.
But the enterprising settler was not
alone long. The rafters had carried his
fame. The story set other poor but active
men that way, and in two years the bend
contained six huts, all built from the lum-
Der CLEANED from the eddy in the RIVER
Since then the mill owners have seen the
half-dozen huts replaced by more than d
score of well-built dwellings, a church,
and several shops. Although in the last
fifty years so much lumber has been con-
sumed, the amount picked up in any one
season is so insignificant that never ye.
has any owner seen fit TO go in chase Of
his stray stock The bend is now the SIZE
of a prosperous little village, much ire
quented by the Bangor folk. Some OF US
houses and some of it's occupants are OF
high and respectable class but every one
of them is subject to the remark oil tne
mill men up the river. The residents OF 20
bend are named "the river rats" by the
mill men.-Boston Transcript.

Cd yesterday from a business trip to

fever scare at that place, Mr.. Menzies
says that rigid quarantine is maintained
on all trains approaching from the infect
ed regions. The country people Of that
section do not visit the city as often as
they usually do for fear or in some way
contracting the disease. although no cases
nave as yet developed. They seem to think
there is danger in the air, however, and
do not so to Montgomery. The way the
country people fight shy OF the place is
said to be cutting off the cotton receipts.
Instead OF the cotton being taken to Mont

AN OCEAN VOYAGE.

The Proper Fees to Pay ON Board IN
Atlantic Liner.
Fees are too indefinite to be regulated
by rule, but certain amounts are GUS
tomary at sea. The voyager, If he Is
not seasick, Is dependent for comfort
first on the table steward. To this man
It seems to be the rule to give %. so for
one. or IS for two or three persons In
party, whether one Is served in regular
courses or orders what he pleases from
the bill. Late suppers might increase
the fee.
Ones next best friend is the deck
steward. If he Is attentive and has fol-
lowed out suggestions about the steam
e1 chair and rugs. Sometimes one can
eat on deck when it is fatal to go below,
and then, if the deck steward Is ob1ig-
ing. he deserves the larger part Of what
would go to the table steward In reg
ular course. II the weather is at all
fair, it is most agreeable to find ones
chair well placed and the rugs dry ev-
cry morning, especially if one is In
olined to seasicness. Moreover, this
steward is the one who continuously
brings sandwiches and broth ON deck,
and, as he is obliged himself to fee the
cooks assistant to get these articles pre-
pared. it is clear that he should be well
remembered at parting, il any one is.
On many lines his pay, like that Of
most of the stewards, is not higher than
$12 month, and the company, ON gen.
eral principles. keeps back one-third to
pay for breakage. Another third goes to
the cooks in fees. Where, therefore,
would he be without dps?- Lewis Nor

A poor old widow living in the Scot.

by gentleman who had heard that she
was In need. The old lady complained
Of her condition and remarked that her
son was in Australia and doing well.
"But does he do nothing to help your"
inquired the visitor. "No, nothing. was
the reply. 'He writes me regularly
once month. but only sends me lit
tie picture with his letter." The gentle
man asked to see one Of the pictures
that she had received and found each
one Of them to be draft for $40.
That Is the condition Of many Of
Gods children. He has given as many
exceeding great and precious prom
ises" which we either are ignorant Of
or fail to appropriate. Many of them
seem to be pretty pictures Of an ideal
peace and rest, but are not appropriated
as practical helps in daily life. And not
one of these promises Is more neglected
than the assurance of salvation. An
open Bible places them within reach Of
all, and we may appropriate the bless
ing which such a knowledge brings.-
