New School Books.

The people of this county will feel
the burden incident to q change in
school books quite severely this year.
Last year the matter was so managed
that few OF the new books were pur-
chased, but now there is no lodging
change, the old books must go or
the teacher will suffer the penalty of
the law. This will involve great
expenditure of money and there is
much dissatisfaction among patrons.
The Pollard system will be used in
all the town schools,

MADE A FLYING LEAP,
An Aroostools County Horse, Unused to
CITY sights, Makes Confusion ON Street.


Bishon Healy recently purchased of a
Hou]ton farmer handsomeihorse and the
animal was delivered to his new owner
last night under exciting conditions.
Messrs. Walsh and Bovine, employees at
the Bishops residence, were sent to the
railroad station with an express wagon
to meet the Aroostook man who had
brought the horse. The animal was I'M
loaded from the car, and was Immediately
started for his destination, being led by
a halter in the hands of his former own
err, who sat on the rear end of the ex-
Bovine occupied the seat.
The Aroostook horse had never seen an
electric car, and his former owner ne
elected to caution his friends against
driving near the car track. When they
were in fronu of the Congress Square
hotel Stroudwater car came along.
The big Arootook horse pricked up his
ears and began to prance. The motor
man applied the brake and ran his car
with great caution, but the instant the
horse got sight Of the headlight he made
circus leap into the express wagon and
bounded over the front seat on to the
other horse.
Then ensued gensral mix.up of horses,
men and rigging. Bystanders succeeded
in stopping the horse attached to the
wagon before he had gone 20 yards, but
the Aroostook horse got clear from his
custodian and ran to Monument square
where he was captured.
Messrs. Walsh and Bovine were badly
bruised. The former had his head and
chin cut and he was bleeding profusely
at the nose, while his companion received
an ugly cut on the leg, just below the
knee, the cash extending to the bone.
Both were also shaken up and sustained
numerous bruises. The Aroostook man
escaped without scratch.
The two injured men were taken into
Simmons & Hammond's drug store and
from there to DR.. Keating's residence on
Congress street, where their wounds were
dressed.
The horse which caused the trouble IS
said to have been as gentle as kitten,
but after his long jaunt from his. Aroos-
took home his nerves were. in no condi-
ton to admit of his being introduced to
so many strange sights of the city, all
at once.

THEY FED ON MUSSELS.
Wrecked Seamen Brought to Portland
on the Frank Jones.

Schooner Two Brothers Driven on to the
Racks at Little Duck Island-Her Can
tain and Crew Spent 80 Dreary Hours
There.
Six Nova Scotia seamen we're landed
here among the passengers OF the steamer
Frank Jones, yesterday. They were the
captain and crew of the British schooner
Two Brothers, which left Winthrop, N.
S., for Portland, last Friday, with
cargo Of lumber.
They were conducted to the once =. OF !
British Vice Consul j. B. Keating, VINO
after listening to the story OF their exol1-
ing experiences, furnished them with tne
means of transportation back to melr
homes in Nova Scotia.

Joseph Amero, Mate Sherman Gossan,
Steward George Melanssn and Seamen
Elben Frotten, Charles Leblanc and B.
Saulinier. When they were of Southwest
Harbor: Saturday they ran into furious
gale. They dropped anchor off Duck
islands, but both anchors dragged and
during the afternoon they were driven
ashors on the rocks of Little Duck island.
The men succeeded in lowering dory
an making their escape form the wreck,
though they were able to save none OF
their personal effects, except the clothes
they had on. After series Of narrow
escapes from laundering, they managed to
land their dory on the easterly side of the
island. They were drenohed and cold,
and their first sendeavor after reaching
land was to find a place of shelter from
thelrain and wind. They came acros
an old fish house, which they took tenn
porary possession Of. Luckily they had
some matches in their pockets. A fire
was started and after they had got warm
they set out to reconnoitre for something
to eat. 15e5f A
The island was uninhabited. The only
thing they could find that had the least
semblance to food was the mussels upon
the rocks. They gathered supply OF
these and cooked them over the fire in
their temporary abode. While they were
thu. engaged, . spark from their fire
ignited the old fish house and it speedily
went up in smoke.
They remained out all night, but on
Sunday found another old tumbled down
shanty that afforded them shelter. Mon
day morning they were sighted by the
keeper of Duck Island light, who sent
out dory and took them to Southwest
harbor, from where they were conveyed
to Mount Desert and: then took passage on
the Frank Jones for Portland.
The schooner Two Brothers was owned
by Miss e. B. Ever EFT Of Somervil1e, and
her father. .E. N. Everett of Winthrop
acted as managing owner. She was In.
sured. Both the vessel and cargo are
total loss.

as whole, but there are complaints OF
too large percentage of poor stock even
at that. The Maine pack is quoted at SO
cents to 81, according to quality; State
pack, so to 70 cents; Maryland, 90 to Ct
cents ~
