Well Answered.

In the early part of this century there
lived in Nantucket young Quakeress
whose wit caused many ripple in the
demure circle of the Friends.
When this pretty Martha attended
yearly meeting in Newport at the age
of Is, her youthful spirits brought her
occasional grave looks from the elders
although her real goodness of heart was
never questioned.
One evening, during the session of
yearly meeting, Martha WAS the center
of a group of young people gathered
near the windows of the parlor in the
boarding house where some Of the
Friends lodged for the time. The young
people were playing the simple and
amusing game of humorous defini-
tons Martha s wit caused such fire.

son rose from his seat at the other end
of the room and asked, in loud. stern
voice

In the event that Speaker Reed retires
from Congress here is likely to lie nu-
merous candidates come into the field
for the Republican nomination. The
nomination belongs to York county
man if that county can agree upon q
man and hat man is acceptable to Cum
berland county. Cumberland, however
is the biggest, and as there are hut two
counties in the district, the biggest has
the decided advantage. Among the
York county men named are James o.
Bradbury of Saco, formerly of Hartlaud,
W. 4. Emmons, Geo. r. Davidson and
Amos Allen, M. Reeds private secre

Fruit Raising.

From present indications it is entirely
probable that much of the mountain land
within radius of 200 miles of Chatta-
Dooga will hereafter be turned to valuable
account in the production of fruits. For
a long time it has been known that soil
similar to that on much of this land is just
the kind best adapted to growing the very
best fruit. Where an effort has been m ,de
to use it ior peach and apple orchards, the
very best success has been met. The soil
and general condition in the region re-
ferred to above are just about the same as
they are in famous apple sections OF Viz
ginia and Northwestern Arkansas. as we'll
as in the Ozark mountains in The south
western part of Missouri. In the latter
region no doubt the finest fruits produced
in America are grown. They have the
color and size of the fruits of California
and are infinitely finer in flavor. 1t is
stated on good authority that quite wide
acreage of this mountain land will be plan
ted in peach trees this spring. Among
other instances $50 acres will be planted
on top of Chambers mountain, which is
quite high. Its altitude will no doubt
save the fruit from late frosts and as the
soil is eminently suitable, there is little
doubt that the project will be very snc-
cessful.
