find them.
Don't think, you men who make the
city dailies, that you create all the ideas

when one reads, in the light of current

from his poem entitled 'The Lapse of

Mass, in 1925: E
"The years that DER each sister land
Shall lift the country of my birth =.
And nurse her strength till she shall stand
The pride and pattern of the earth;
"Till younger commonwealth, for aid,
Shall cling about her ample robe,
A nd from her frOwn shall shrink afraid
The crowned oppressors of the globe"

The Lewiston Sun having insinuated
that the Maine secret orders must have
liquors to carry on their work, Major
H. A Shorey of the Bridgeton News
comes to their defence in the following
paragraph:
The senior, now on duty as the editor
ial pencil-pusher, is considerable OF a
''secret order" man himself. He has
taken the degrees in the old Sons OF Tenn
perance Order, the Temple of Honor,
Good Templars, Masonry up to and i'll

ship including the Encampment Branch,
Knights of Pythias, Grand Army-and
has been in the grand as we'll as the sub
ordinate lodges of each. This connec-
ton has extended over period of over
forty years as to some of them. With
out mental reservation or equivocation
we unhesitatingly affirm that we have
neither never encountered or even seen
or heard in any of these lodges any of
the iudulgences intimated by the Sun.
They would not be tolerated for a mo-
ment as to any of the 'secret orders"
mentioned; in many them the drink
traffic if not the drink habit are specl-
tically under the ban.

HAD A NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
In A Runaway Accident Mrs. William De-

Many Severe Bruises

In A Runaway Accident Mrs. William De-
vries Sustained Two Broken Ribs and
Many Severe Bruises.
Mrs. William Devries, of Cumber-
land, who is the guest of Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Wilson Humbird at their summer
home in Oakland met with an acct
dent Monday evening which might
have resulted in the death of that
lady.
Mrs. Devries, in company with a
number of other ladies and Mrs. Hum
bird, were out on the road leading
from Oakland to Crellin being convey
ed thence by a livery team. At a
point just beyond the farm of Mr..
Stephen Browning the party alighted
from the carriage for the purpose of
gathering some berries. Mrs. Devries
reentered the conveyance for some
purpose when the horses started at
breakneck speed down a sharp encline
in the road. Whether sic endeavor-
ed to get out of the carriage or wheth-
er she was thrown out is not known
butin some manner she was caught
between the wheels and dragged for
a distance of hundred feet or more
over the rough stones and was picked
up in an unconscious condition. As
speedily as possible the injured lady
was conveyed to town and DIR. Legge
sent for to attend her. Upon an
examination of her condition it was
found that she had sustained frac-
ture of two ribs and was a mass of
bruises all over her body and limbs.
She was unconscious several hours
after the accident occurred and this
morning, though suffering severely,
is much better. Her escape from Sc
rious injuries is something remark
able.
