In the old. sweet South.
Though Love. the Sprinstimc misses,
Agiow with Autumn's kisses
lie drinks where deeper bliss is
In the OLD, sweet South.
Blue bend the skies above us,

With love. through Faith far-Siven
on fields where Love hath strivcn-
Fair fields that sing to heaven
In the Ola, sweet South,

! Anna Foss Donnelly, of Caribou, the
| author of Honest Hearts," received
| notice from the publishers last week
| that the first edition of her book WAS
| practically exhausted and that til"
second edition was in course of prepa-
ration. This is very gratifying to the
author, and Aroostook people take just
| pride in that one of their citizens is
meeting with such signal success in

! Hats off 10 the culinary prevaricatOr
of the New York Sun Did We ever
eat hot gingerbread with soap in it?''
| asked Frank Brown. the oldest camp
cook on the West Rranch, Maine. who
boasts that he has made more than g.
000 barrels of -four into cream of tar
tar bread in the course of tWenty-Si&
winters in the forest. 'Ef We hain't ct
it, you don't know what's good. Why
a lumberman would no more think of
eating gingerbread without soap into it
| then he would think of drinking new
rum without molasses. They always
go together-soap int. the gingerbread
and molasses into the rum, and both
are jest about as good as is made. My
rule is to dissolve n hunk of hard soar
as big as hens egg in a gallon of wa
ter, then pour in a gallon of molasses
Il half pound of baking powder and stir
| in the flour until the dough will almost
run. Then grease yer pans, slap in the
mixture and chuck it into red hct
oven. When it comes out all golden
brown and full of sweet bubbles tina;
smoke when you break them open-the
man who won't eat such food isn't I'll
to live or die. You can't tell me that
soap gingerbread amt fit to eat. I've
eat it more than twenty-five years, and
and I'm jest as sound to-day as I was
when / first tasted the food"
A Calais man who attempted to play
ghost on Halloween, had a thrilling
and painful experience that Will doubt

again to counterfeit the nocturnal wan
derings of disturbed spirits. Covered
/. by the ample folds of a sheet he en-
joyed himself hugely in his own pecl-
liar way in witnessing the cOnsterna-
ton caused in the ranks Of tinlid pc
destrians until he encountered young
Main street merchant, who was enjoy
ing drive in company with a lady
friend. When the ghost" suddenly
appeared at the side of the carriage
while it WAS coming down Church
street the lady was considerably scared
but her escort promptly wound the lasf
of a whilebone whip around the neck o.
the apparition, and the howl of agon,
which followed proved conclusivel,
that the spirit was of the earth earthly
