A Book of interest to Fryebnrg.

Miss Elizabeth Porter Gould, one of
the brightest literary ladies of Boston,
and a well-known authoress, has just
published book that will attract wide
interest to the general reader-and to
Fryeburg, specially, on account of its
local interest. The fame of Webster
grows as years glide away, and the de-
hghtful story Miss Gould has wrought
into her volume entitled "John Adams
and Daniel Webster as Schoolmasters"
will hold the attention of the reader as
he ponders and thinks of the noble am
bition that filled the early life of those
distinguished patriots. Miss G. has
made a study Of these illustrious men,
and she has the distinction of being the
only woman who has ever been made an
honorary member of the Massachusetts,
Webster Historical Society.
Miss Gould has given her lecture upon
Abigail, the wife of John Adams, before
nearly hundred woman's clubs. The
volume is illustrated, and has dainty
picture in gold on the cover of the little
Webster Academy that stood near Pine
Hill. Miss Gould was the poet at the
Fryeburg Webster Centennial last sum-
mer.

Sneezfng.

A snecze may mean various things IN
some parts of Turkey. 1t Is regarded
rs confirmation Of what the person
Speaking has just said. In that case he
interrupts himself in order to address
the sneezer as follows: Health be to
thee, for thou hast proved that l am
speaking tie truth" 1t Is sometimes
taken as a sign that absent enemies are
speaking i'll of the sneezer and the
bystanders express the pious wish that
those individuals, whoever they be,
may split" Sneezing Is also consid-
cred as an indication Of health, espe-
cially If the sneezer is just recovering
from an illness.

Johns Letter.
IN WHICH HE SAYS HE NEVER YET
LINED A BEE.

LINED n BEE.
We fancied that your West Paris cor
respondent is one of the fair sex. AS we
have never seen her in the flesh nor
anywhere else, we will suppose her to
be the fairest of the fair. Ii will be but
fair to give her the benefit of the suppo-
sition. We think we know her name,
and that she wears a white ribbon on oc-
casion. So far so good. We thank her
for the kind invitation, and if we never
come she will have one the less plate to
wash-and some girls detest dish wash
ING, but we don't know why, unless it be
n greasy skillet or mackerel plate. We
draw the line sharply at hog-fat and
mackerel.
As a matter of fact we never lined a
bee, but in our bOyhoOd days we have
had observation-disclosures mostly-line us
all over the hay field. We know how II
feels to have hot one under the lining
sinking his little shaft for our hearts
blood. Doubtless there have been no
improvements in their methods since
then. The old stone heaps have disap-
peared and with them many of the nest
ing places of the Bundle.
We have seen the licensed bee
hunter with his little box of sweet, as a
decoy, watching the coming and going
of his intended victims. If it be fact
that the average maiden's lips are a salts
factory substitute for a little dab OF
honey, we cannot see the necessity OF
our taking along box of the article, ii
the bees of Paris are as appreciative as
the bees of Buckfeld.
Why, we talk like boy, Well, that is
what we are inwardly. We shall never
grow old. We bid defiance to time. We
only yield the outside of us.
A few weeks ago we wondered II we
would get hay enough to furnish our
COWS with full cud through the winter,
and now we wonder if we shall have
barn room enough for the crop that
Old Reliable is yielding; and We also
wonder if we will get it under the
shingles before the snow flies. But we
are not complaining. We decided never
10 utter word of complaint of the wet
when the sharp drouth was upon us.
The times and the seasons are in His
hand, and the thought and the fact
should satisfy US.
When our housekeeper went away she
left many houSe-plants in our care-with
instructions. The most of them were
booming when she returned, but few
had jaundiced look. We are apt to
forget when the cares are many. We
thought if little water is a good thing
little more is little better. When we
aforementioned we gave an extra dose.
1t takes woman to care for flowers, but
it takes a man to fight potato bugs, fill
the pot and keep it boiling.

A Bucksport correspondent notes the
interesting fact that farm property in
that section has taken sudden jump
upward within the past few years.
Some of the older residents claim that
their farms are worth rs per cent more
than five years ago. What is true of
Bucksportjis true, for the most part, of
the entire state. Farm property in
Maine has never been in more demand
than at present, and the day does not
seem far distant when the so-called
deserted farm" will be practically un-
known in Maine.
