fists and enters into the three-round
contest with all the vim and science
of pugilist. and his knock out blow
is a corker, consisting of sitting on
his enormous tail and dealing his
antagonist a blow with all four feet.

bar and trapese performances. The
races we're also exciting and interest

1t is strange that certain news
papers which ought to know better
are confounding polygamy with Nor
monisn in their holiday discussions
Of the Roberts case. They do not
seem to understand that the Utah
Congressman is guilty of no otfense
against the law or constitution by
simply being Mormon. The agita-
ton against his admission 70 seat
in Congress has not arisen because
of his religion, but because he has
more than one wife, and is therefore
a criminal before the law.
1t is not true that all Mormons arc
bigamists or polygamists any more
than it is true that all bigamists and
polygamists are Mormons. 1t is
known by citizens of Utah who are
not in sympathy with Mormonism
that the Roberts case is exceptional,
and it is also known that some of the
most influential Mormons of Salt
Lake favor his punishment because
he has nagrantly violated the law
and mt the same time brought down
upon Mormouism the renewed hos
tility of the American puplic. Many
of the leading Mormons are endeav-
oring through their press to set the
church right in the eyes of their fell
low citizens. They contend that
Roberts neither deserves nor receives
the friendship of Mormons in good
standing, for the reason that his acts
have impaired the confidence Of the
national government in the good
faith Of the Mormon citizens Of Utah
who sought admission to the Federal
Union under II pledge that the state
government would not tolerate po-
lygamy.
4 meeting Of Mormons held at Salt
Lake recently adopted n resolution
10 the effect that the Mormons, as a
religious scot, would make no effort
whatever to defend Roberts, who, if
guilty as charged, had taken himself
outside of the jurisdiction of the
church, aud was not therefore euti-
tied to any more consideration thau
should be bestowed upon a law
breaker Of any other creed.
1t is well that some of MIR. Roberts
fellow citizens in Uah have taken
such steps TO show BIN in his true
light. 1t would be we'll for Utah if
others would follow their example.
The more generally it is understood
that Mr.. Roberts is denied a seat in
Congress, not for believing "A certain
creed, but for defying deliberately
the laws of the land, the better it will

case

FORTUNE IN SPONGE CAKE.
Immense Business Worked Up In Sale
OF This Eatable.

The mention of the name Of Ber-
wick, Me, in connection with its re-
cent robberics, recalls TO many the
days when its sponge cakes and Gus
tard pies carried the fame of North
Berwick as far as civilization went,
The history of the industry is Gu
rious one. About 1915 an employe of
the Boston & Maine railroad named
William G. Briggs, had the misfortune
to be caught in an accident, and lost
one leg. The company were somehow
TO blame, and when he threatened a
suit they were more than willing to
settle the matter out of court Vari-
Gus offers were made to him, but he
would accept none of them. At last
he made this PROPOSAL If the com
pany would start a restaurant at North
Berwick, and place him in charge of It,
agreeing TO stop every train before its
door for five minutes. he would not
institute proceedings. This was agreed
to, and the restaurant was started.
Mrs Briggs was one cook in thou
sand and her meals were already well
known to the patrons Of the road,
when she set her brain ut work and in
vented new kind of sponge cake, She
was famous before; she was immortal
now. That sponge cake was lighter
and SWeeter and more delicate than
any other known in history. ana 1t
sold. Every one passing through Der
wick bought some, whether he wanted
II or not. 1t came in enormous loaves
incloScd in wooden boxes, and the
wealthy bought these For simmer
purses portions were sold of graduated
sizes down to the single mouthful
wrapped in tissue paper for 10 cents.
Restaurants In distant cities served ii,
and regular shipments were made to
New York and Boston. Others tried
to initiate il, but failed The secret of
its making was kept religiously. Ev-
cry batch that went into the oven was
mixed by Mrs. Briggs own hands and
behind closed doors. Even now moth
ing is known of the process. beyond
the fact that a churn was used for
beating the innumerable eggs which
went into its composition.
or course the restaurant prospered.
II was before the days Of dining cars,
and passengers from PASSPORT and
Portland had good appctites when they
reached North Berwick Besides the
sponge cake. the almost equally IA
nous custard pie was sold and a gen
eral dairy lunch served Briggs man
aged the restaurant for twenty years,
finally grew rich, and gave up the
business, moved to Newburyport, lost
his money by speculation ana in other
ways and died The restaurant was
given mp when he left. ana the only
man who knew the secret OF the
sponge cake died a year or two ago.
That is the story which the old In
habitnutS tell TO the casual visitor. but
the younger generation deny that there
was anything mysterious about the
sponge cake of the old days or that"
was any better than what is sold ~
the corner bakery today.

How Europeans Travel.

The Germans are beginning to form

much patronized by the children Of
the fatherland, but that has changed
now and II is said that the Reyer

Germans, who spent much time there.
And it was not time alone that the
foreigners spent while in the beautiful
district. They Were free with their
money and it is said that this advance
guard of Germans who are beginning
to scatter over the entire European
continent, is lavish in the matter Of
money.
The English who have grown into
the habit of considering themselves
the best and most untiring travellers of
the world, have come in for no end of
criticism, especially from the Swiss,
for their close watch on their pocket
hooks. One pension proprietor in the
Taurus Wald was heard to say that
