In some instances there are excep-
stions, and the raid upon ouF orchards
of the forest-tree caterpillar during the
past two seasons is one of the excep-
tions. All through this section of Ken
nebec County, including Hallowell
Manchester, Winthrop and. Monmouth,
the damage to the foliage, of the apple
pear and cherry trees was enormous.
Some growers attempted to destroy
them by other means than spraying.
yet, except on very Young trees, failed
to accomplish, much, Those who did
spray their orchards had some fruit to
sell, while those who did not had hardly
enough for home use.

A bit of landscape stretches out,
Lit by the Sunbeams fieeting
That CLINT the hill tops just beyond
Where earth and sky seem meeting
/ A strip of woodland lies between,
| Met by the yellow fallow,
| And where the hillside downward slopes
| A tiny brook runs shallow.
| A moss grown fence, now in and out
Adown the hillside passes,
To where the brook glides on below
Among the meadow grasses.

There has been a recent discussion
in Paris in relation to a drama entitled
La Belle Madame Hesselin," by M
Edouard Caller. In reply to a charge
of improbability brought against him,
the author Indignantly retorted that he
had placed upon the stage, without al
tering the slightest detail, 'un morceau
de realite, une tranche de vie" and
that the critics who had fallen foul of
him IN this respect were consequently
altogether in the wrong. Whereupon
the critics fell upon him again in a

"How long. Oh! Lord, how long," must we suffer certain few to furnish liquor to the na- tives in open defiance ofthe law?
 Last summer we suffered a heavy loss by fire. Nearly one half of the business portion of our town was destroyed. Cause: Drunken Indians.
 A few weeks ago murder was committed in one of our business houses. Cause: A drunken In dian.
 A few nights ago the sawmill had a narrow escape from fire. Cause: A drunken Klotchman.
 There is Il big house near the mill, owned by katashan, and there is or has been, so We are informed, a native woman living there and some person or per sons are supplying her with all the liquor she can consume and it is, for her, one long, continual drunk. Chief Shakes nad oc- casion to visit the house the other night and found her dead drunk and a burning candle on the floor. The chiefs $ visit probably saved the mill.
 The danger from fire isaprob- lem for our property owners to work out. The moral side is for our fathers and mothers to con sider.
 It is rumored that liquor is being furnished the young na- tive girls for the purpose of get ting them drunk so that certain immoral, interruptions and de- prayed persons could procure photographs of them in a nude state. We are going to look this matter up and as true as there is a God in heaven. if We find it is true, We will publish the names of all parties concern ed, so that the decent people may shun them as they would a rattle-snake.
 We heard a business man say that since he was 9 years old he had lived among Indians, but, never before had he seen the time or place where a native could walk right up to the bar and buy his whiskey the same as a white man.
