NORTH CAsTINE. Me-, Aug. 26, 1904.
The pluck and Drawn of two girls saved
the lives OF TWO young men whose salboat
had capsized four miles from land yester-
day. 1t was thrilling rescue against
heavy odds. For three days heavy south
west gale has been blowing, causing a
wicked cross chop sea to run in Penobscot
bay, yesterday morning Miss Goldie E.
Dunbar, of North Castine and Miss Cora
Packard of Brockton, Mass, both expert
with the oars, decided to go over rowing in
North Castine harbor. Because of the gale
and heavy winds they hung close to the
shore and were enjoying the sport immense
ly suddenly looking seaward they saw a
small boat careen and capsize, four miles
away: They were too far from any house
to call for help, and the girls realized that
II the occupants of the boat were to be
saved it would have to be done quickly and
by them
They put their boat about, and with wind
ana tide strong against them, pulled for
the capslZed boat. After desperate strug-
gle, they succeeded in reaching it, AS soon
as they were near enough and could stop
long enough to glance around, they saw
two young men clingng to the wreck.
Mark Smith. one of the boys, could not
SWIM stroke; the other, Blaine Perkins,
was a good swimmer, but preferred to stay
py the boat and his companion. Both boys
We're nearly exhausted. The girls soon had

Miss Bickford's Concert.

InOse who expected a musical treat at
the Belfast Opera House last Friday even
Ing, and who also hoped for substantial
benefit to our deserving young towns
woman; Miss Katherine Bickford, were
disappointed in neither respect. The audi
ence which filled the house was one that
testified to the high esteem in which Miss
Blckford is held in this, her native city, and
the interest felt in her welfare and in her
future. The stage was very tastefully dec
GRATED for the occasion with golden rod and
golden glow, and with the dainty toilets of
the many ladies IN the audience and the
young lady ushers who performed their du-
Ties so gracefully, the general effect was ar
tlstic and refined The program, which was
published last week, was all that could be
desired-varied in its selections to meet all
tastes and at the same time showing the
singers at their best. Miss Bickford has
never before been heard here to such adyan-
tage and the power and range of her voice
was surprise to many of her hearers, This
was particularly evident in the prayer from
Der Freischutz;" and in striking contrast
was her sympathetic rendering of the plain
tive Scotch songs. Mr.. Self also gave full
expression to his fine voice in the selection
from Tannhauser and in sentimental and
humorous songs, while the duets by Miss
Bickford and Mr.. Self were charmingly
rendered. Every number was received
with applause, but only two encores were
given, one by Miss Bickford and one by
Mr.. Self. The accompanist, Mr. Robert
Gaylor, was an accompanist, and that is
perhaps all that need be said of his skillful
manipulation of the keys, as sometimes we
have had the singers accompany the piano
and only heard at intervals above the in
strument. Miss Bickford was presented
with two large and handsome bouquets, one
of Jaqueminot roses, while in the other
sweet peas predominated. The program
closed with the duet, "Good Night by
Miss BickfOrd and Mr.. Self, and the audi
ence in departing were enthusiastic in their
comments On the evenings entertainment

LETTER TO w. A. SWIFT
BELFAST, ME.

Dear Sir: Would you rather have your
customers speak of your shoes as wearing
well, as not running down at the heel, as
turning water, and taking a shine; or wag
their heads and say nothing?
We'd rather have ours, at long intervals,
say: "We want some more paint, and we
want Devoe." We know it isn't in human
nature to paint very often; we don't expect
them to come very often don't want 'em to.
All we want is to paint what they have to
paint, whenever they paint it; the longer
the time, the surer they are to come back.
There's business enough in the world :;
there are houses enough to paint; let 'em
take their time.
If we were shoemaker, we'd make shoes
to last lifetime, and shoe the whole town.
Yours truly,
F. W. DEvoE & Co.
New York.
P.S. Mason & Hall sell our paint.
