| Many people acquainted with the
late DR.. Fitzgerald believed that he
was under the control of an Indian
| spirit 1t is said that he did not in
| his youth want to become a doctor but
was compelled by the spirit to employ
his extraordinary powers for healing
the sick.
Ii is told that once DR.. Fitzgerald re-
fused to go out on a terribly stormy
night and retired. Later in the night
he arose, dressed. went to the stable
and harnessed a horse generally con-
sidered unmanageable and drove to the
bedside of the patient he had refused
to visit before morning. Several hours
| afterward the team returned and was
put up, and the doctor again entered
his room and went to bed. The next
morning he was up at his usual hour.
| Going to the stable the words he ut
tered would hardly look well in print.
| His carriage was covered with mud.
| and his harness was sight to behold.

and wherever it could be strengthened
by the addition of rope twine it had
been attended to. The doctor never
knew but little about what happened
that night outside of what he has told.
The black horse took him to Dover in
less than an hours time and to the
door of the house where the person was
lying ill unto death all of which was
learned by comparing notes. His lam
guage at the time was ''pigeoned Eng
lish" in which more or less Indian
words We're mixed Medicine was pre-
scribed and he returned home. The
patient was saved and he was given
an illustration that another power
above his own will could use him when
so disposed.
A woman living a mile and a half
from ROckland, who once taught school
and run a store there, has many near
and dear relatives living there, and is
active and energetic. has not been in
Rockland for 16 years. Probably she
thinks herself too busy. Some people
are too busy to live and some too busy
to get any enjoyment out of what of life
they do not succeed in squandering.
Unfortunately there are those who
have to devote their bodies and almost
their souls to incessant grinding or
else depend upon someone else for sup
port. Sometimes this is because they
have not the faculty of turning off
work" But in the case of this Knox
county woman the habit of close appii-
cation to toll, habit that has become
second nature. appears to be RESPONSE
BILE for the tenacity with which she
clings to the immediate environments
of her home.
Some dreams do go by opposites. A
Brewer man the other night dreamed
he set a trap and caught rats. He
woke, set the trap and caught skunk.
But some dreams don't. A Deering
man lost diamond, went to bed and
dreamed 1t was caught in the folds Of
a certain rug. He woke, went to the
rug and found the diamond
