JUSTICE SPEAR.
Gov. Hill Names Gardiner Law
yer for Vacancy on Bench.
Nomination Was Made on Saturday
on Return from 0rono.
Confirmation Will Come Before Council
on Saturday Next.

When Governor Hill returned from
Orono on Saturday morning, he imme-
diately placed the name of Albert M.
Spear of Gardiner on the nominate
book for justice of the supreme court
of Maine, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Justice William H. Fogler
Of Rockland. The meeting of the Coun-
Gil will be held on Friday next. but the
question of confirmati Of Mr.. Spear
will not be considered until Saturday
as the full seven days notice must be
given. 1t is proba BILE. there, that the
Council will remain in session until af-
ter midnight of Friday and that Mr..
Spears confirmation will then be con-
summated.
After it was discovered that Hon.
Wallace H. White of Lewiston, was in
eligible for the Office, on account of the
fact that he is member of the pres
ent Legislature which increased the
judges salaries from $500 to $4,000 a
year, Mr.. Whites strong support went
to Mr.. Spear, supplementing that which
the Gardiner gentleman already had
and making him the leading candidate
for the nomination. All day, Friday,
the telegraph and telephone lines of the
State carried messages of endorsement
, for Mr.. Spear to the Governor. and so
on Saturday morning Governor Hill
nominated him to the position.

SERIOUS PROBLEM.
How Will kennebec Lumbermen Get
Logs to Market?

A serious problem confronts the lum
Der operators on the kennebec waters-to
get the entire cut of logs to the landings.
One of the greatest operators says thar
only about two-fifths of the cut has been
hauled to the landings, and-that 1t will
take until well along into April to get
the balance there. Many of the operators
feel that a large amount of timber will
have to lie where it has been yarded till
next year. The teams are being worked
as hard as they can be. and every effort
Is being made to get through before the
snow goes off or the swamps thaw out.
No chopping is being done. and all the
men are at work getting the logs to the
landings.
The cut this winter will run consider
ably over $50 1000 900 feet-one Of the larg-
est that has ever been kpown on the riv-
er. To get this great quantity of logs
down the streams 20 the main river seems
to be more of a problem than usual, as
there is less than the usual amount OF
snow in the woods which will make the
driving very difficult unless there are
heavy rains in the spring. Many fear a
similar condition to. that of last year
when a large amount Of lumber was left
over that could not be driven on account
of low water.

Trees as Rain TeIlers.

sign does not seem to be very sure

like the silver leaf poplars, in fact all
poplars. the maple and some Of the
oaks, which turn their leaves up when
ever there is fairly strong, steady
wind. but they do it as much in clear
weather as in rainy. 1t has been sug-
gested to me that possibly the belief
may have arisen from the fact that
winds capable of turning leaves over
very often precede or follow rain
storms, and as people are usually on
the alert when the general atmospheric
conditions favor rain, looking for signs
to confirm the general feeling they
have that Il is going to rain, 1t might
be that the turning up of the leaves
would be especially noted at such
times.

RARE JOY FOR A FIEND.
Mean Man Causes Mlx'up OF Tvs
Messenger Boys,


A small messenger boy ran down
Fifth avenue this morning, caroling
blithesome tune, his small heart al
peace with all the world Some thirty
feet behind him sped a second boy
likewise at peace with all creation
and whistling as he trotted on. Upor
the sidewalk stood a heartless man
nibbling large apple, and apparently
the last person in the world to pay
any attention to the doings Of a mes
senger. The boys passed him, and,
with a maleyolent grin, he raised his
hand. The half-eaten apple whizzeo
through the air, passed over the head
of the rearward boy, and smote the
leading lad full in the neck, and dis
tributing its core, pulp and seeds over
his shoulders and inside his collar.
With yell of surprise and rage
the insulted youth whirled around
and the second boy ran into him. The
pple.battered one let go a fierce right
Jolt upon the innocent lads visage,
and then they closed, For five min
utes they battered each other all over
the sidewalk, while two kilograms
luttered in the trampled mud, and
the heartless man, holding his ribs to
prevent absolute demolition, howled
with glee.-New York Exchange.

at least this would appear to be SO
from the official income tax returns

According to the returns these six
teen persons make the sum total of
the individuals in this country who
enjoy incomes of over 100000. and
this Is about the millionaire level.
Ii is true that there are 1S4 people
with incomes of between 100000 aud
100000, and, Of course, a considerable
number Of these are Just ON the line
across which they would be classed as
millionaires. Incomes Of between

Unfortunately the great majority OF
the smaller income people have DO

are people with salaries, and the in

not salared man. For thesmost part
he pays on an assessment provided by
himself, and the quoted figures
'givc one TO think
Down the scale the numbers gradu-
ally increase until Of incomes between
f160 and E200 there are no fewer than
1873, 456: while of smaller incomes not
exempt from taxation there are
112,397.
But there is one singular exception
10 this steady graduation. There are
comparatively few incomes Of he
tween $500 and 5000. the number he
ing 1889 in Great Britain, whereas the
hgures Immediately above and below
are 3935 and 2641.
There appears. indeed TO be a
strange fatality about this particular
size Of income, for we find that it is
rare, not only in the case of private
persons. but also Of firms. public com
panies and municipal corporations.
The return gives startling evidence
Of the large proportion Of the burden
which is borne by the comparatively
poor man. OF incomes between EGO
and 1000 the gross amount assessed
is t2J, 1913, 5l3; Of the incomes between
1000 and $500 the gross amount as.
sessed is G24,215,614 But of incomes
between ElO00 and G2000 me gross
amount assessed was only fS,252,524.
1t is interesting TO note that there
is in Great Britain eighty-siX firms
with an income Of over 100000. but
not one in Ireland; and that in Great
Britain there are CSC public companies,
and in Ireland nineteen, which have
incomes of over $4,000 London Mail
