Something came 10 my soul today
Out ~ the misty past,
As a spar from a wrecked ana suhkeh
ship
May float 10 the shore at last;
A vague ana shadowy vision.
That vanished as soon as IL came,
For memory could not grasp ~,
or give 81 place and name.
III seemed lilg q dirn remembrance
or life ia another sphere.
And left me ~ silent wonder,
Waiting ~ a 30 hear
' voice I had long forgotten,
With message OF welcome sound,
Lifting me nearer heaven
As yapors rise from the round.
There may be times when the spirit
ESCAPES from the house OF day,
And flies 90 it's native heaven
AS n child goes ont TO play;
And the glimpses that nit so oimly
At times across memorys track.
Are something 81 finds in heaven
That il longs 90 carry back.

George n. Lawrence, general manager
Of the American Ice Co. for Maine. in an
interview, Saturday evening. spoks as fol-
lows in regard To the ice situation.
Five thousand tons have thus far been
harvested on the Kennebec and that at
the Hodges house just below Richmond. AT
that place the ice is II inches in thickness.
while further up the river it varies from
1c to u inches in thickness. The ice is as
clear as crystal ana as good product
as have ever seen. If the weather holds
cold operations will be begun at the Other
houses on the river the middle of the
coming week. 1t has required great
amount of scraping to place the fields
in a good condition. 1t surely looks at
present as If the Company would fill the
capacity of all :he houses, making the
harvest about 100000 tons.

Foxy Quiller.''

The famous Klaw and Erlanger Opera
Company. healed by Jerome Sykes. will
appear at the Opera House, Thursday.
Jan. 30, presenting de Koven and Smiths :
new comic ope.a success. Foxy Quller.
OF Mr.. sykes it may be said that he is
the only comedian who has ever been hon
orer by having an entirely new comic
cpera named after one of his creations.
Several years ago Mr.. Sykes sang Foxy
Quilier" in "The Highwayman' with
most remark able success. The charactef
was entirely new to the stage Under Mr.,
sykes guidance. it's unctious. oily drol-
lery rolled over the stage followed by rip
ping laughs and long. surging splashes
of merriment. The bombastc. blundering
detective with his absurd. third-person
speeches became an impersonation of de
lightful Importance. so when the KIaw
and Erlanger Opera Company was organ
lied it was determined to takeothis char
acter bodily out of the old opera and
place 1t in an entirely new one De Ko-
ven and Smith. who wrote ''The High
wayman," were commissioned to prepare
a new comic opera to be called Foxy
Quiller" This they have done with ex-
traordinary success. Foxy Quiller'' has
been introduced into new scenes and sur
roundlngs; he deals with new characters
and he has new adventures of kind
which delights the beholder. To these
Mr.. de Koven has added the best score
he has ever written. Those who have
been looking for a successor to Robin
