In the State assessors office there
hang two pictures which usually at.
tract attention of visitors One of
them is of a fine set of farm buildings
and the other of potato field. Both
pictures are from the farm of Column
bus Hayford, Pressure Isle, Aroostook
county. Mr.. Hayford is one of the
prosperous farmers of that PROSPEROUS
county and his farm is in the same
high state Of tillage so characteristic of
Aroostook farms. Mr.. Hayford is a
, man some over sixty years of age, still
active and full of life, although he has
recently given over the active manage
ment Of the place to his son, NJ p.
Iiayford. and takes pride in having a
larm winch is as near perfect as it is
possible to get it. He is an active
member of the executive committee Of
the Maine State Grange.
TIE potato field, which is shown in
one Of the photographs mentioned
above, was 30 acres in extent and last
year produced $3.50 bushels, an average
of 3l2 bushels to the acre This entire
crop was harvested in ten days, which
was good work. They We're dug by
machinery, Il crew of men following be-
hind the machine picking The tubrrs np
and putting them into teams - be
hauled to the Storehouse.
~ the haying line Mr.. Hayford did 4
LITTLE something on his farm. which en-
braces about 800 acres, as he cut ana
housed 10 tons. The work of doing
this was pushed along at Il fairly rapid
rate and shows that the Hayfords have
tendency towards ten days for It took
but that number tc cut and house this
amount.
On the occasion Of the last visit of
| the assessors to Aroostook Clerk
Plummer who stopped at Mr.. nay
/ ford's. asked him how much honey he
got that year from his bees, for Mr.
! llayford keeps Il great many hives of
| bees. He expected that the amount
| would be large but he was not fully
prepared for the answer which h.. re-
| ceived.
We'll, l won't get as much as I did
last year" said Mr.. Hayford, for l
had 22G0 pounds then, but will do pretty
| WELL as we shall have at least 1900
pounds"

| a very fair amount of honey for one
man 10 rdlSe III u single year.
But while speaking of pictures,
which was what lead up to the fore
going about Mr.. Hayford's farm. ii
would not be right to omit a word con-

Edwin Hobson, whose impersona-

Mr.. Rork happened to be In Port
land at the time of Mr.. Hobson's hit
as Constance, and when he learned that
a similar part had been written into
The Filibuster,' he at once thought OF
the Portland man for 1t. The result was
an exchange Of terms by telegraph and
Mr. Hobson will leave about the first
of the month for the bean city to be-
gin rehearsals.

| The old building win be torn down
to make room for the new. The pres
ent eastern wing of the hospital will
be used as laundry. but the main
building will be removed. The present
structure is very old and not at all
convenient in its arrangements.
While plans for the new building
have not yet been prepared, It is an
nounced that the main entrance will
be on Sixteenth street. There will also
be an entrance on Duane and Ex-
change streets. 1t is the present in
tention to commence construction work
early in the spring, and, once started,
it will be fastened to completion.
Will Attract lnvalids.
A commodius. modern hospital at
Astoria win be the means of bringing
many outside invalids to this city. |
Astoria's climate is not surpassed else
where in the United States, and it is
believed that hundreds OF
patients will come here yearly from
other places for attention. When the
new building is finished, they will be
ible to secure the best attention. and
the delightful and healthful climate
will make ST. Mary's a popular place
or invalids from all parts of the north
vest.
Even at the present time many in
lalids come annually to the coast to
enefit by the ocean breezes. They are
Inable. however, to secure the atten-
ion that is necessary, but with the
ompletion of the new hospital this
will be removed.
Public Will Be Called Upon.
The public will be asked to assist

listers are without funds, but they
ave already received many encourag-
ng offers Of financial assistance. Con- ,

while St. Mary's is now, and will .

ity for financial assistance. The pres
ent hospital is inadequate to the needs
of the city and surrounding country and
must be replaced with a larger estab-
lishment for the care of the sick. 1t
Is the intention to get the work of con-
struction under way within a few
months, and by January l, 1906, the
new building will be ready for oecu-
pancy.
st. Marys hospital has rendered ex-
cellent service under the management
of the self lf-sacrificing Sisters, and for
many years has been an Indispensable
adjunct. 1t is capable of accommodate
ing so patients, but frequently the
Sisters find it impossible to care for
all who seek admission. Nearly always
the hospital is crowded, and for some
time past the need of larger hospital
has been felt. Astoria has outgrown
the old hospital and new and larger

Here's something at the back of you.
What is 1t?
This is a snap shot of old John Wat
kin, the hermit of Smole's mountain.
He lived thirty years in a wretched
cabin in the edge of the woods and in
all that time was never known to speak
TO a woman. 1t was supposed an I'M
happy love affair soured him in his
youth, but nobody knows. Some said
too, that he had money, but none was
found in the cabin or anywhere around
it, though gold hunters dug into the
earth all about the hut. He used often
10 be seen leaning upon the window
SILL just as he is in the photograph
He actually died at last in that posi-
ton, and his body was found thus one
morning, with the dew wet upon his
beard"
So he's dead, is he? Rest his soul!
That's the managing editors writing.
l wonder why he couldn't have told
me to look at the back of the photo
graph and get my clew from what was
written there. Now, my old Dick Dead.
