THE ,AIODERN SPECIALIST.

THE ,MODERN .SPECKALLST
Apropos of the competition that
now marks every avenue of trade,
the following story from every day
life, taken from the Galveston Tri-
bune, serves as an example of the
special training necessary i'll this
day of hustle and push. The young
man or woman who starts out in
lie with a smattering Of all avoca-
tons, and no special ability along
any one line, must sooner or later
step aside for the individual who
is prepared by special training to
do a specific work and do it well.
The moral to this story is, if you
want to succeed in life and make
yourself a factor in the offairs of
men and the world better for your
having lived in It, prepare for the
journey ere you start. and when
the final summons comes, YOU viii
go, not like the galley slave, at
night, scourged to his dungeon,
but libeone who wraps the draperies
of his couch about him and lies
down to pleasant dreams, with
the secure feeling that upon the
marble slab that marks your allott-
ed space in the silent city of the
dead might be inscribed the wei
come plaudit, Well done, thou
good and faithful servant"
This IS the story:
Mrs. Bell sat rocking comfort
ably on her piazza, while the chill
dren, four of them, warked below
in the garden beds. Mrs. Prim-
rose, who had come to make a call, /
famed herself with her hat, and
noted the industrious little figures.
What on earth are those chill
dren doing?" she asked.
Wedding, said Mrs. Bell.
But can you trust them?"
Perfectly -
I couldn't trust my Nell and
Grace, and they're older than
yours.
You mean they wouldn't know
the weeds from the seedlings
Precisely
Mrs. Bell leaned forward i'm
pressively. She had on her intel
ligent look-the one she assumed /
when she addressed a club on civic /
rights. My dear, said she,
this in the age of specialists.
Each man, each woman, is or
should be, devoted to one depart
ment. Children may not be cap
able of learning to distinguish all /
weeds, but any child can learn one. /
l have taught Kate pigweed, Annie
pusley, Gladys chickweed, and |

bed and selects his or her specially. +
I sit here on the piazza and rock. "

OUTLOOK AT sEBEc LAKE.
Prospects of a Lively Season at This
Beautiful Piscataquis Resort.

II is generally acknowledged that if
present and past indications amount to
ANYTHING that the coming season will
be one of the best in the history Of Sc
bee lake.
Nearly each year for the past few,
there has been usually two or three
new cottages built on the shores of the
lake by private parties for their own
use and it is understood that there are
several who are now thinking seriously
of building this pear Al the hotels
the coming season gives promise of be-
ing equal, if not better, than that of
last year.
Il. NJ. Packard of the Packard House
has recently issued folders advertising
his popular house and its surroundings,
etc, and it is highly probable that per-
sons, who desire quarters at this hotel
during the spring fishing season will
have to get their orders in at an early
date owing to the fact that it is thought
that the fishing will be above the aver
age at this lake this year. thereby at
tracing a large number of anglers from
other states. Each year the number of
sportsmen coming from Massachusetts
has been larger than that of the pre-
Vious year and this year will be no eX-
ception to the rule.
Fifty-two lakes and ponds empty in
to Sebec lake, which is 13 miles i'll
length. Handbook salmon, pickerel
perch, trout and others OF the finny
tribes abound. Some of the angling in
the vicinity of Sebec lake and the dis
tances from the hotel and the other cot
tageS are as follows:
Little Crindstone pond. 3H by buck
, board; to Benson ponds, six miles;
Bucks cove one mile by water; Tins
cove. three miles; to Bennett ponds.
, three miles; Bear pond, 215 miles; Mill
, Brook stream. seven miles: Mill Brook
pond. five miles, water and land; But
termilk pond, three miles; Crooked
pond. five miles; Fourth pond, six
miles; Rurdn pond, five miles.
Although for the past winter there
has been numerous rumors abroad
, about the proposed building of an cleo
trio railroad to teh lake from the viii
lase ut the present time. very little
Is heard about the scheme, although
, some of the travelling men who visit
these towns have kept the people guess
ing by telling around that they Were
here on business connected with the
new electric road etc.
! 1t is thought by those who are well
, acquainted with the lake and the sur
rounding country that if such a thing
ever comes to pass that it will cause
a great change to take place at once
about the lake and that what at the
present time is woods will be occupied
by cottages and hotels and that it
! would be one of the foremost inland
resorts in the State in a short space
of time.

TROUBLE OVER GRADING LAND

Former Commonwealth Attorney
W. II. Bradshaw came near being shot
and killed yesterday afternoon late
by Mr.. Philsnder Pool Is q result Of
dispute over the right Of Mr.. Brad.
shaw to grade and remove some dirt,
from q street or roadway which WAS
being laid OF near Mr.. Pools home.
Mr.. Bradshaw resides on West
Broadway and owns considerable
property in that part of the city. Mr..
Pool has for fifteen years or more
lived near the old Rhsa Boyd place,
on what would be Kentucky Avenue,

II seems that Mr.. Bradshaw and
his son, Mr.. will Bradshaw. Jr., went
out yesterday to see about some grad
los that was being done on property
al joining Mr.. Pools. intending to
have the dirt hauled away after it was
removed from the street.
According to their story, . son first
came out aud demonstrated and then
Mrs. Pool came. Mr.. Pool then came
out himself and protested. He de-
mauded to know what Mr.. Bradshaw
WAS going to do, and Mr.. Bradshaw
told him, and claimed 1t was his land
and he was not trespassipg. Mr.. Pool
raised shot gun he had brought out
with him and started to shoot, but his
wife seized him and prevented his
pulling the trigger. Mr.. Bradshaw
came to the city and swore out a
warrant against Mr.. Pool. This
morning the defendant failed TO show
up at police court, and an investiga-
ton was made, revealing the fact
that Mr.. Pool had gone stark mad
during the night, ii is supposed from
the excitement.

The Matter of Extending the
Franchise Comes Up.
Jefferson Street Work Received-Mar-
ket House Plans Ready In
Another Week.
ELECTRIC WIRE ORDINANCE.

The Board of Public Works held its
regular meeting last night, but did
nothing of unusual INTEREST,". There
was q conference with the street rail
way people for the purpose Of talking
over the double-trsck matter.
1t was decided to leave il to the
general council, and an ordinance
providing for the extension Of the
franchise two years will probably be
introduced at the Board of Aldermen
meeting tonight.
The street car company, to do uble
track its Broadway line, must issue
bonds, and the bonds must be twenty
year bonds or they cannot be sold.
The company's present franchise
has eighteen years to run. and by
exchanging il for a new franchise
making it twenty years, or adding
two years, the new bonds can easily
be issued. The Board of Works is now
through with the double track project
and it is up to the general council
The architect reported in regard to
the new market house plans. that
they would be ready to examine next
Wednesday, and that the contract
would probably be ready to let not
later than september 1.
The Jefferson street work was re-
ceived and the general council will
now allow Contractor Charles Robert
son the amount due him on the work.
In regard to the west end drainage, il
was decided that pipes would have to
be laid, and the engineer was instruct
ed to have the matter attended to as
soon and as rapidly as he possibly can.
The bids for storm water sewerage
on Broadway will be opened Monday.
In case there are no bids the city will
itself do the work, as it has on other
streets.
Tonight the boards ordinance re-
quiring the removal OF all electric
poles and wires from Broadway, will
come up in the board Of aldermen,
and it Is thought will be passed with
out any difficulty. IL does not require
the wires placed underground, but re-
quires them taken from Broadway,
leaving it optional with the compa.
MES whether to place them under
ground or run the through the alleys.
