NE SET THE PACE.
An Augusta Business Man Who Gave Points 10
the Haymakers.

There Is an Augusta gentleman who
owns quite farm which is located
not more than mile from the Man
chester forks. He was raised on the
same farm, and in memory of his boy
hood days, he went out, last week. to
live over again the joys of the haying
season.
Accordingly he engaged a crew of
men for the occasion. and before COM
mencing the work he gathered them
together and addressed them some
what after the manner in which
Spartacus did. in his celebrated speech
to the gladiators, in the old Roman
days. only the speech was perhaps not
so boastful, and more of a cautionary
nature. He told them that he was 60
ing to work with them, and that he did
not want them to overwork themselves
that they would not be expected to
do more than he did. himself.
Now, he had a secret desire to get
out of them all the work that he posi-
bly, could, 50, taking up couple of
holes in his belt, he sailed in. and it is
doubtful if the sun ever shone on a
more animated scene than was enacted
in that bayfield,. He set a pace that
even the horny handed farmers found
some difficulty in following.
Eventually, he raced himself of the
feet, as horsemen say, but it would
never do for him to allow the fact. so
at II o'clock he told his men that they
had done enough for the forenoon, and
that they might go to dinner, and to be
ready for the continuous performance
which would take place in the after
noon. After dinner he Unexpectedly
had to return to the city ION business"
and it has since transpred that the
real reason was that he was so sore
from his forenoons labor that he could
hardly lift a pitchfork. OF course the
facts of the case have leaked out, and
his friends are enjoying many quiet
laugh at his expense. The haying still
goes on, but at more moderate pace
and the crop will be housed in day or
two.

Aroostsok's Splendid Crops.

In connection with the reports Of
short hay crops received from most
sections of the State it is pleasing to
learn that the crop in Aroostook cOun-
ty. this year, will be large a man
who is in position to know. stated
to Bangor Daily News reporter.
Tuesday. that the crop in that county.
this year, would be the largest ever
known there. From this, with promise
of large crops in other products. nota-
bly, potatoes. it is apparent that 1900
is to be a prosperous year for Aroo-
stock farmers.
From August /, 1899, to date. there
has been shipped from Aroostook
county to Boston and other New Eng
land points outside Maine, about 22Oe0
tons Of hay. The price paid for this
on the cars at the shipping point aver
aged $1,000 ton, giving "a revenue of
about 1921 900 for the county from this
source alone.
In addition to this many tons of hay
We're shipped from AroostOok county
to points in Maine. and to lumbermen
which will greatly swell the grand
| total of shipments and the revenue
| from hay for the year.
1t was fortunate for Aroostook farm
! ers that very little hay was down dur
ing the recent heavy rains in that sec
| ton. If the present dry weather con
! tinues until the end of the harvesting
| season ArOostook will certainly agar
be one of the chief sources of hay sup
| ply for New England. Bangor News.

Not All in China

There are thrilling tales from shanghai
And some yarns from Tien-Tsin too
Then, again. comes word from Pekin
That the stories are untrue
But the fakirs are not always
In some foreign country born.
We have read some first-clas fibbing.
Telling us of Kansas corn
All the cables are kept busy
Bringing news from far Hong Kong,
First "A rumor, then another
Saying that the first is wrong.
And We talk of Chinese liars
While our truthfulness we boast
Till we read of big sea serpents,
Splashing on the Jersey coast.
Canton, China. keeps us guessing
With its contradicting news
All the rumorS are so varied
We believe which e'er we choose
Every spring from old New Hampshire
Or the region of the lakes.
Comes the tale that some backwoodsman
Finds bali of frozen snakes
All the world is fun of liars.
And their tricks are just the same,
And their stories only vary
With the bigness of the game
We should give chance to China
For her liars are Just found.
While our homegrown native liars
Keep i'll trim the whole year round.

are considered to be the best trained
elephants in all the land. Prof. Gentry
imported. them from India last winter at
an enormous cost. They are more valu
