The probate office of Washington
county enjoys the unique distinction of
having enrolled on its records the last
will and testament of the lamented
Charles A. Dana, editor of the New
York Sun. This circumstance is sup
posed to have come about through
some business transaction in which Mr..
Dana became involved through his
brother. David Dana, who is still living
at West Lubec in this county. 1t is
said that a few years ago David Dana
was very i'll and that some of his
townsmen wrote to his distinguished
brother setting forth the circumstances
and telling him that David was in re-
duced circumstances financially and
was in consequence in need of many of
the comforts of life. Charles A. Dana
was in Europe at the time, but his son
Paul Dana took steps to secure his un-
cle's comfort and freedom from want.
1t is supposed that in some way and
for some purpose a piece of property
was transferred from David to Charles
either because the former would not
accept help from his brother gratui
touSly, or for some other good reason,
and it was this ownership of land in
the county that made it necessary to
have the will probated here. David's
name is not mentioned in the will.
David Dana has long had most su-
preme contempt for the abilities of his
famous brother and has held the dis
tinguished editor in no great esteem.
He is now employed to look after the
West Lubec lead mines. which are soon
to be started up again after several
years of idleness.

Union Advocate: Next Tuesday is
Arbor day and it is gratifying to see
that the day is more generally observed
from year to year. Ii requires no great
expense nor time to plant few trees
every spring and in the course Of years
the yards and highways will present a
beautiful appearance. 1t was a fault
of the first settlers and generations
later TO cut everything they come 70,
and many old men today seem to con-
slider il a duty to destroy every shade
tree on the farm. This idea is all
wrong and Arbor day is rectifying this
evil in a large degree. Let's all plant
at Least one tree and as many more as
rossihe.

The youngest as we'll as the most
unique paper in Maine is the Quoddy
Herald. a sheet 9x12 inches published
by two 1l-year-old school boys in Lu-
bee Its opening editorial tells its read
ers what they may expect from two
school boys, II Years Of age. We have
seen fit 10 give the name Quad ~
Herald, also a motto, United force s
stronger and So with the united force
we have gotten UP this paper. You will
here find something instructive by way
of history; there a scrap of fun, for
who does not like the humorous side
of life, current events in both poetry
and prose, but as this is our first at
tempt to anything Of the kind YOU can
scarce expect anything very brilliant,
for We are building this. as with united
force ana busy minds we are building
up our lives. but if we set faith to lay
the corner stone. and hope 10 mix the
cement, and fun enough To make t
lively: perhaps our next papers Will ba
the means of overlooking the failures
of this one. Editors Guy F. Drawn,
Martin Il, Foster" This paper is a
unique specimen. and when it is taken
into consideration the difficulties under
which the boys labored. their first at
tempt is to be commended. The press
used is by 2l2 inches and the font of
type would admit the printing of three
or four lines at a time. and when the
type was ready for the form the little
brother. Earl, would knock it into pi.
and with merry laughter ringing
through the house. they would gather
up the fragments and try it again. The
paper is filled with all kinds of matter
collected by the boys during school in
Permission. and while the boys continue
this kind of work. the mischief about
town will not fall upon them and praC
teal knowledge will be gained for flu
ture use.

Pennington Chronicle: The intent
of Arbor day is to beautify our good
old State of Maine. and the suggestion
that trees. shrubs, and the like he
planted. is a good one. But wouldn't
it be well to live up to the spirit rather
than the letter Of the institution and
eXpend not Il little labor on Arbor day
and many other days by clearing the
roadSides and lots of other conspicuous
places, of bushes. stones and other UNI
slightly objects? In many parts of our
county and State there seems to he
more need of DISCRIMINATING than of
nurturing trees and bushes. which
have grown too plenty to be ornamen-
tai. There is more sentiment than
sense in the old song "Woodman, spare
that tree" Too many have been spared
already and now cumber the ground to
an extent at variance with the laws Of
beauty or utility.
