Horse Raising In Maine.

(Le'riston Journal
The forthcoming report OF Labor Com
miss Toner Matthews Will contain All in
teresting historical sketch of the horse
industry in Maine. Accompanying it are
several letters from prominent Maine men
who agree that the aim should be TO raise
good driving horses.
From this report it appears that the
height OF the horse breeding industry i'll
this Sta,e Was reached in 1898; and hat
during its most fiourishing years it
brought into the State more than n half
million dollars in a single year The
business is improving again and the
opinion is expressed that the time is near
at hand when the breeding OF horses in
Maine will regain its lost vantage.
The recorded history of Maine horses
begins with the advent of Winthrop Mes
senger into the State in 1916. A little
later came the Morgans and the Quicksil-
vers. Later the Brandywine family, the
cations and the Drew family became
noted. In 1855 Gen. Knox and Winthrop
Morrill, We're fosled. The story OF many
OF her famous horses, including the great
Nelson, is also given.
An interesting feature consists OF the
replies to n circular asking questions in
regard to horse breeding. Frank H.
Briggs, OF Maple Grove stock farm, in
Auburn, considers the gentlemans road
horse the best type for Maine farmers to
breed j. :. Sanborn OF Elmwood stock
farm, at Lewiston junction, believes the
best type for the Maine farmers to breed
is the good sized, hig "a stepping, carriage,
road or coach horse; {. 2. Drake, OF
Lewiston, advocates the high-class trot
ting bred horse; Editor Twitcheli, OF he
Maine Farmer, advocates the carriage
horse, with style, courage, speed and
action, but thinks extreme speed is not
to be desired.
Mayor Beal, of Bangor, also advocate
the French coach horse, While Col. Wal

best type is the gentleman's driving

A LANDMARK GONE.
Amos +. SmalPs House at Sunset De-
stroyed by Fire.

Amos 7. Smal's house at Sunset was
| burned, with nearly its entire contents,
last Thursday evening between and 10
O'Clock.
Mr. Small and his wife had retired
early, and soon after O'Clock they were
| awakened, and saw a light in the room
where they slept, which proved to be fire
just bursting through the ceiling of the
room. In a minute, as it seemed to them,
the fire spread the length of the room,
aud they hurried out to get water with
out stopping to dress.
Before anything could be done the fire
| had gained such Roadway that they could
save nothing from the chambers, and
turned their attention below. The
flames spread so rapidly that very little
was saved, the smoke being so suffocating
as to make it impossible to enter the
rooms. All OF Mrs. Smsll's clothing was
in the chambers, and WAS destroyed all
she saved being an old wrapper W hieh she
hastily threw on as she left her bed. A
suit OF clothes belonging to Mr.. Small
was below, and was saved.
MIR. Small had S110 in a bureau drawer
in the sitting room below, and he went
into the room to save it, but he took the
wrong drawer, which contained nothing
OF value, and left the one containing the
money to be burned. Mrs. Small did not
stop TO put on her shoes, In the panic,
and was out during the fire in the wet
night bsrefooted, and is now quite i'll
from the effects OF the fright and expos
ure. They are stopping Tor the present
with their son, Walter Small, who lives
near.
The barn, which was very near the
house, was threatened, but the wind
blowing away from it, it was saved by
being kept wet The neig h bors all turned
out and did all they could to save things.
The house was he Oldest in that part OF
the town, having been built by Thomas
Small, one OF the early settlers, and after
his death it passed into the hands OF John
Small, the father of the present owner.

THE "SEBENOA- ASHORE.
Struck Rock near Lighthouse of
Hancock Point.

Last Friday morning the Maine Cen
trails steamer "Sebenoa", OF the Bar Har-
Dor and Mt. Desert Ferry route, went
ashore in heavy fog on the rock on
which is situated the lighthouse off Ham
cock Point.
The steamer, which lies over at Bar
Harhor at night, was on her way from
that port to Mt. Desert Ferry to meet the
passengers on the early morning train
from Bangor, which arrives at the ferry
at s,35 O'Clock. 1t is supposed that in the
dense fog that prevailed on the coast on
Friday the captain lost his bearings.
Immediately after the boat struck she
was backed off, and although her bow
was badly stove in, the captain succeeded
in making the Hancock Point wharf.
AS soon as the accident occurred the
steamer Hector" was engaged to go on
the "Sebenoa's' route.
This is the first accident for many years
to the Maine CeDtral's boats.
The "Sappho', which was hauled up at
Rockland, was at once put into shape, and
WAS put on the route Saturday night.

thereby set an example which all

marks that thoughtless people of each

The Use of Time.

Time cannot be held, or hidden for
safe keeping, or put out at interest or
bestowed upon friends or posterity. We
can spend it, waste it, use it as We will,
but never keep it for ourselves or for
Others. The moment slips away, the
hour has sped, the day is over, the year
is closed, life itself is gone, and, thong h
results are left for good or for evil, he
time has passed away forever. 1t has
been spent, and its only value lies in the
way in which we have spen: it from
moment to moment.

peoples would be fruitful for the cause
of humanity and civilization, and
that "the cooperation of the two

treaties or written obligations, but
upon a much deeper and more lasting
basis
