a local florist estimates the value
of the flowers presented to the Rock
land High school students at about
SITS. The custom of giving flowers at
graduatiOns was once looked upon as
a kind of useless appendange to the ex-
ercises, but year after year the bou-
quets appear to increase in number
and gorgeousneSs. At Camden and
Thomaston the spectators were more
impartial and the young men gradu-
ates were also made the recipients of
bouquets. The Rockland custom of
giving the bouquets one at time seems
| to possess some advantage over the
style of Camden and Thomaston where
| the flowers are rendered to the gradu-
ates in an indiscriminate armful.
The Maine railroad commissioners
have recently granted charter for an
electric railroad from Pressure Isle to
Perham. both in Aroostook county. The
road is to be sixteen miles In length
and when completed will run through
an exclusively agricultural country.
| The road is an experiment, in way,
for its chief purpose is to be for farm
| freight carrying, though incidentally
passengers will also be accommodated.
1t is interesting to observe, fact that
| we learn through Commissioner Chad
bourne, that this road will be built al
| most wholly with local capital. AL
ready large blocks of stock have been
taken by the farmers along the line,
one small community having subscribed
| for $4,000 worth Of stock, and it is
deemed probable that all will be taken
and paid in before the work Of building
the road begins. Agents of the road
have returned to Aroostook after hav-
| ing bought the rails and bridges in
Western market. The agricultural
wealth Of Aroostook county is not fully
understood in the State. This road Will
give an idea of what is being done
Their, and will probably be the fore
| runner of many more. 1t is the pur-
pose Of many of the large farmers along
| the route to have sidings laid directly
into their barns to facilitate getting
away their crops In the harvest time.

Odd Fellows atcedar Rapids.
Special to Times Republican.

Cedar Rapids, April SO.-The dis
trict meeting of Odd Fellows at Iowa
City yesterday was a success, despite
the threatening weather of the morn
ing. The lack of halls of sufficient
size prevented an exemplification of the
work of the subordinate lodge, and the
fact is that there is but one hall in
Iowa where the work can be done for
such u meeting in a satisfactory way,
and that is the Auditorium in this city.
This fact had something to do with
securing the permanent headquarters
of the association for this city. The
meeting of next year will be held here
at about this time, altho the future
meetings may go wherever the dele
gates decide. This meeting is really
of as much Importance as the grand
lodge of the state, and altho it is for
but one day hat fact serve to draw
many visitors and to make the gather
ing more easily accommodated.

about 15 years old. The liveryman said
boys were all he could get. This boy
was none too good and could hardly
keep the team in the road, but in M
day he had three offers from farmers to
and board.
One thing particularly more noticea-
Bile than n other is the supreme faith
in the seasons results that is possessed
by the average farmer. In calling on a
young man who had only been farming
for himself a short time / found that
last year he cut his oats only to watch
the rain rot them; that ne woke UP one
morning and found the frost had killed
his corn, and yet he was not disheart-
eued. He had a nice bunch of hogs
with which to recoup his losses, but be-
fore they were fat enough to sell all
took sick and died 1t would seem to me
that a man who could sit there day
day and see the wreck of his
hopes must be possessed of the stuff
that makes heroes. and now he is going
on again putting In oats and corn and
has fifty young pigs running around and
has faith that he will come out on top
year. There is no occupation on
earth whereby a man is so absolutely
at the mercy of the elements as farm
ing. and If he comes to town on a rainy
day and kicks about the weather all
1 think he is entitled to all the
he wants to make of this
kind. GEORGE +. THAYER.
