Waldo County as a Game Preserve

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The
antCipatons of the citizens of Waldo county
who five years ago petitioned for close
time on deer are fully realized in the west
ern part of the county at least. Deer have
been seen on many farms in Unity, Freedom
and Burnham, all through the summer and
fall. One farmer recently told your corre-
spondent that the deer had become so tame
that they often came very near him when he
was at work about his farm, and We're
source of great interest to his visiting friends
from Boston. So far ten have been killed in
Burnham and vicinity, eight in Unity, and
about the same number in Freedom.
What would please large majority of the
citizens more than anything else in the mat
ter of game protection would be to have the
close time on deer extended twenty-t We
years. Chain up the hounds, and with such
law Waldo county would become one of
the most valuable and attractive of game
preserves. W. G. FULLER.

Accident at Mt. Waldo.

At the works of the Mt. Waldo Granite
Company at Frankfort, on Monday afternoon
at about 2.20 o'clock, there occurred an acci-
dent which may result in a fatality An en-
gine was hauling a derrick and a car
loaded with stone along the track at the
cutting shed, and the derrick car suddenly
left the rails. The loaded car came up heav-
lily against the car before it and James Kel-
ly, one of the companys faithful employees,
who was on the front of the car, was caught
between the ends of the two cars and severe
ly crushed. His hip and a number of ribs
were broken and he received internal iniu-
ries of severe character.
He was in critical condition at last ac-
counts and it was thought that his injuries
might result fatally. He is man between
so and 80 years of age and has family.
Michael Leonard, another of the Com
pany's efficient employees, was on top of the
car which was loaded with stone, and the
stone fell upon him in such way that one
of his legs was broken in two places, be.
tween the knee and hip. He is Of about the
same age as Kelly.

which she planted From il was raised 243
beans, which Were planted last spring, and
the crop therefrom was ON exhibition in two
large bottles. The person who guessed near
est to the number of beans was 10 be given a
handsome oil painting. The bean story was
offered in verse, as follows:
THF STORY OF BEAN.
Tan oaks from little acorns grow,
And many bean the product of one bean show ,
That bean, of age two years with quite history
Plain and bespeckled without any mystery.
1t happened thus, one night in planting time
A granger brought to the hall the subject of my
rhyme,
Aud deftly threw 1t midst crowd of girls
With laughing eyes, and hair in clustering curls.
AS luck would have it, it hit the merrest of the
lot,
Quite near the eye, a yel, tender spot;
She quickly seized and bore it to her home,
Fully determined it should cease to roam.
round,
She placed the bean within the warm, moist
ground,
And left it there to slumber deep
Until the sun should call it from its sleep.
1t sprouted grew and reached the poles tip. top,
Tt en- onward went if i'll heaven to stop.
While many pod hung from the trailing vine
To grow, and ripen in the warm sunshine.
a goodly pint OF speckled beauties lay
Within dish upon the harvest day.
W a hEI UGrl from tnt,,
To plant again in spring time mild and warm.
This time they made Just twenty hills in all,
And twined around Just twenty bean poles tall,
FlOurished and grew on the year before
Until to night you see this bounteous store.
Now Grangers all, am prepared to SELL
The noted Shaw bean that have tested we'll
Send in your orders and prepare to raise
Beans that deserve from all the Grangers praise
A lucky hit you made that pleasant night
When throwing that bean you aimed so near
Alright,
Thanks, Daddy Shaw and may YOUR Jokes all be
As well aimed and from all malice free.
The count of beans showed the number to
be 1925. Miss Bertha Blake guessed 3,84O
and took the prize. The lowest guess was
945; largest, 1901.
Mrs Geo. W. Lewis had an auction of oil
and water color paintings
A large quantity of fancy articles pictures
bedding, etc, disposed of by tickets.
The affair closed with dance which was
kept up until the we sma hours.
