pounced upon it. Then there
ensued a lively scuffle. This
caused great commotion in the

eager to witness the fight,
scampered toward the scene Of
action. They crowded around
the two chickens, cheering
them on, and such a cackling
and growing was never heard
before.
When the excitement was at
its highest pitch, there was
a sudden hull in the storm, for
around a corner of the barn
came strutting the rooster, the

BABY IN BASKET.
Two Alma People Have Strange Present
Left on Doorstep.

Alna Me-, Nov 2.-When former Coun-
ty Commissioner Albert b. Erskine, who
lives at Alma village opened the ell door
of his home. early Friday morning, he
was surprised to find box on the door
step. Mr.. Erskine picked up the box and
began an examination when d peculiar
noise from inside surprised him. Mr. Frs
box into tine house and. taking off the
cover, came to a quilt nicely folded from
the interior of which the faint Squeaks
seemed to come. The quilt was carefully
unwrapped when their astonished eyes
beheld a wee lit of n baby. They child,
who was apparently not over two days
old, was tenderly cared for by Mrs. Frs
kline.
The affair caused great excitement in
the usually quiet village and though an
investigation has been made and is SIN
going on, the person who left tho baby
at the Erskne home is vet unknown. the
only clue at present seems to be that at
an early hour a team was driven rapidly
across the Head Tide bridge, which
crosses the SheepSCot river n mile above
Mr.. Erskine's house.
Why the child should be left at the
hnme of Mr.. and Mrs. Erskiae is easily
solved as they are people of means, and
while they have a grown-up son and
daughter, they are particularly fond OF
children, and many &. child, with his pa
people to the ErSkine home for q visit
which is always thoroughly enjoyed by
the little people.
The waif was taken in charge by the
town fathers and is being tenderly cared
for by Il good family.

Conditions and General Forecast.

Washington. Nov. 2.-Observation
has shown that periods of low barOmet-
rc pressure over the British Isles are
attended by stagnated weather condi-
lions over the western Atlantic and the
eastern part Of the American continent,
and that five or six days after a re-
establishment of normal barometric
pressures over the eastern Atlantic the
usual progression of areas of high and
low ban ometric over the United States
is resumed. Today the high barometer
area that recently occupied the east
Central part of the United States since
last Tuesday shows signs of dissolu-
ton. The effect of these barometiic
changes viii probably be shown in a
gradual breaking up of the quiescent
weather conditions that have prevailed
since the 9th ultimo over the eastern
part of the United States. There are
at present, however. no indications Of
the development of Il well marked
storm in the United States. The tenn

MASSACHUSETTS.
Most Heated Campaign for Years-i
Big Vote Expected.

Boston, Nov 2.-he most heated cam
paign that has been waged in Massa-
chusetts in years ended, tonight, and,
tomorrow, voters will ballot for their
candidates for all the states and county
officers. The day before election was
observed in different ways by the Re-
publican and Democratic campaign
managers. The Republicans devoted
the day chiefly to routine matters, ap-
parently satisfied that all signs pointed
to the success of their ticket. The
Democrats wound up the day with an
example of almost unprecedented ac-
tivity and, tonight, held further rallies
in many different meeting places about
the city.
Both sides count on getting out a
very large vote. The weather indica-
tons for tomorrow are favorable for a
big vote.
The managers of both parties are
confident of success, but estimates of
probable pluralities have not been given
out since Saturday. Col. Edward +.
McSweeney, the campaign manager of
William A. CASTOR leader Of the Demo-
cratic ticket. said, today: I'VE are per-
fectly satisfied. The voters will tell
our story"
Major Thomas Talbot. chairman Of
the Republican state committee, has
this to say of the prospects of the Re-
publican success: tissues have passed
away, but the people of the state can
be depended on, tomorrow, to recog-
nize honesty and fidelity such as Mr..
Bates has given"
