HARVEST FOR HOTELS.
Landlords Smile With Glee at Thoughts Of
Poor Rations for Soldiers.

With another week of questionable
food for the soldiers at Camp Powers
the hotel and restaurant keepers would
reap harvest, that is if the bounty
money held out long enough. Ever
since there have been complaints from
the soldiers that the food is poor the
names of soldiers have appeard more
frequently than ever on the hotel reg
listers. 1t is very seldom that the num-
Der of a room is placed opposite the
names on register but in almost all
cases it is the letter indicating some
pears most frequently is D indicating
that a boy in blue could not stand the
Those who have occasion to go to the
hotels with the soldiers open their eyes
in wild surprise at the manner in
which the soldiers tuck away food.
While the men do fairly good piece
of work on the meats yet it is when the
walters are thinking of going to the
pantry and store room for the desert
that the men set in the heaviest work.
1t IS in the same manner that the
soldiers appear at the boarding houses.
The civilians who have friends in the
regiment seldom miss the opportunity
to invite the boys in blue to take din
ner with them and it is safe to say
that an invitation of that kind is sell
dom refused 1t is at these times that
the soldiers care very little about join
ing in the general conversation.
Even the man who is considered at
other times an interesting talker and
who generally prefers 10 do at least his
part of the entertaining is only toe
glad to hear other people talk if they
will only string out the time Of sitting
at the table so that he may clear away
the food placed near his plate.
All the time the boarding mistress
smiles at the soldier in a most en-
couraging manner as she thinks it her
cooking and not the half starved con-
dition of the man that gives him such
an abnormal appetite.

HEBRON WON'T ENTER.
An Interesting Meet Expected in WaterviIe
June a.

Judging from the present outlook no
athletic team will be sent from the
Hebron academy this year. to the in
terschoolastic meet in Watervile. On
account of the delays in receiving the
team entries of other schools the time
was extended and during this time no
notice has been received from Hebron
letter from a friend Of the school,
which has been received in this city.
says that Hebron's failure to enter is
due to lack Of funds, the most Of the
athletic money being used in the sup
port of a base ball team.
Although entries have not been re-
ceived from Waterville High yet it is
an assured thing, judging from what
has been said to Cony High students,

the enterprise and push of the east. it
