Ia building on Northport avenue the
first section of State road regard was
had for the fundamental principle in
constructing highways-that of drain
age. In times past, and indeed up to
the present day, that has been the last
thing thought Of. Thousands, yes hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have been
wasted in work on dirt roads, because
no provision was made for drainage.
The water was allowed to stand in pools
on each side of the road to work under
meath the travelled way, and when the
frost came out there was a quagmire
through which horses f1oundered while
vehicles sank to the hubs of the wheels.
In very many cases drainage was com
paratively easy; but easy or hard, cost
what it will, if we are to have good
roads there must be drainage. In the
section of Northport avenue just COM

was about found the heavens studded
with stars and went back to bed with
the comforting assurance that there
would be glorious weather for the Clio
rious Fourth. And so it proved. The
sun shone brightly next morning, and
from the tall flag staff on the lawn Old
Glory tioated proudly in brisk wester-
ly breeze.
The morning was spent in drives and
walks, welcoming the coming and
| speeding the departing guests. and just
before one o'clock the party were treat
ed to what proved not altogether
pleasant surprise to some of them. 1t
was a fire drill. When the whistle
sounded the alarm, ont darted the fire
brigade with their hose reels and coup
led onto the hydrantS. One Belfast
young lady. at the first sound of the
whistle, started for what she supposed
to be the scene of the fire and running
like a deer fairly distanced the fireman.
The man from Gardiner was rushing
upstairs to rescue his family when he
was seized by the coat-tails and the
situation explained. Some one said
the tiremen were four minutes get

we'll to add here that the kineo House

from the ground to the upper stories.

display of fireworks on the lawn. and

cake walk, and did it in professional
style, but Mr.. c. II. Bowden of Fox

And now the time had come for

Saturday mornings boat for home, and
all leaving kineo with regret. 1t is an
ideal resting place, and the pure air
and pure water are the best of meui-
clnes.
The sail down the Jake was beautiful.
Not breath of air was stirring. The
water was like molten silver and reflect
ed the passing clouds. the wooded
shores and the mountains which sur
round this noble lake. The views of
kineo as it receded into the distance
were particularly fine, the gay colors of
the hotel harmoniZing well with the
green grass and foliage, with sturdy
Mt. kineo as a back ground.

Since the Boston Herald styled the
stars and Stripes flimsy rag, or words
to that effect, thereby arousing the i'll
riignation of its esteemed contempo-
raries, there has been no public dis
paragement of Old Glory until the Lew
iston sun the other day said it failed to
see any choice between the American
flag and the British, etc, and wanted to
know what the flags of the several
nations stood for 1t would seem that
the average school girl, or boy, might
readily answer this question; and that
the Lewiston sun, which usually shines
brightly, is under what we trust is only
a temporary eclipse.

HOME NEWS. MORNING WHIST CLUB. AN ENJOYABLE GATHERING AT MRS Nj.
 A. TODD'S.

Last Thursday m orning the Ladies' Morning Whist club was held at Mrs
 M. A. Todd's in Newtown Street. The
 members were given delightful sur
 prise through the generosity of Mrs
 Wesley Hayes, who presented the club
 with "bangle holders'' for the chips,
 both convenient and pretty. Whist
 was especially enjoyed that morning.
 The prizes were won by Mrs Harry
 Nichols of Newtown, Mrs Charles Coe of Bridgeport and Miss Allys Todd.
 Mrs Nichols secured the first prize, a dainty gold crescent pin, the second was won by Mrs Coe, lovely silver hat
 pin, and the consolation, Miss Todd, very pretty stick pin of old silver.
 A short business meeting was held af-
 ter the conclusion of the game, Mrs
 Allen being unanimously reelected president. Mrs Allen tried hard to persuade the club to elect some one else, but the ladies were obdurate; Mrs Allen they wanted, and Mrs Allen it had to be. Mrs Thomas DeForest "do ttloO uildIllIuOuSly Te-clcCUcu VICE. president. Her consent to take the office was highly appreciated, as last year she took the responsibility under protest, and merely to be obliging. It was voted to have the bylaws printed and hung up at the hostess home who was the entertainer for the morning. Once more Mrs Hayes cour-
 teSy and kindness assisted the club. Mrs Hayes will have the bylaws print ed in proper form and ready for use next year.
 The success of our whist club is greatly owing to the perfect harmony among it's members, and their willing ness to enjoy one another in spite of whist. Polite irrita tion, and side lec- lures as to how to play this hand is unknown, and when blunders, com icalIy stupid, are made as the result of preferring little pleasantly to exact playing, "Never mind" is the invariable comment. Of course we are an Exceptional Club. "-[C. A. H.
