AIxosr A cENrENARIAN.
Mrs. L. C. Clark of Belfast 10 Ninety-Six
Years Young.

Years Young.
The late John Perley of Unity was wont
to answer, when asked how old he was: II
am not old. am eighty years young" The
same might be said of L0visa Chandler
Clark of Belfast, with an addition OF six
teen to the number of years. Mrs. Clark
was born in Searsmont September II, 1907,
and is consequently nearly ninety-seven
years of age She was one of seven chill
dren of John and Abigail (Ladd) Bartlett,
who came to. Searsmont from the Kennebec
when this section was wilderness and the
only road across the country was bride
path. They cleared the land, built log
house and established their home in the
forest. The daughter Lovisa, the subject
of this sketch, married Samuel B. Clark of
Northport, and they lived in that town
about. year after their marriage, when
they moved to Lincolnville and lived there
until his death, which occurred twenty
years ago. Mr.. Clark was farmer and
blacksmith, one who worked early and late,
tilling the soil by day and working at the
forge and anvil at odd hours, often by the
Ii.
behind him in industry, doing all the work
that fell to woman's lot in those days. The
older ladies will realize this when they learn
that she often spun ten skeins of yarn in
day in addition to doing the Homework for
large family She was the mother of four
teen children, and three sons and three
daughters are now living. The survivors
are: George O. Clark of Lowell, Mass :;
John Horatio Clark of Rockport, Maine
Francis Ansel Clark, with whom the moth
er makes her home; PAMELA, widow of AL
fred Miller of Rockport; Lucy Jane, wife
of Ephraim Knight of Lincolnvile; and
Mary, wife of Frank Dorman of Belfast.
Her Oldest son, James Clark of Belmont,
served in the army, and was accidentally
shot few years ago while riding home
Rock port Her father was soldier in the
war of 1872 She has thirty-fve living
grandchildren and fifteen great grandchil-
dren. OF her fathers family one sister re-
mains, Mrs. Dorothy Crommett of China,
Me. Mrs. Clark is in good health and
spirits; her hearing is good, and she can
see to read coarse print without the aid of
glasses. If nothing unforeseen occurs she
bids fair to round out a century of life, all
the years OF which have been filled with
her command, for those near and dear to
her, and her children are seeing to it that
her last days shall be passed in comfort.

DR.. Alden's Appointment.

DR.. Carlos C. Alden of New York, a
grandson of the late Hon. Hiram O. Alden
of this city, has been appointed dean of the
Buffalo Law School and will assume charge
of the school in September. He was the
unanimous choice of the faculty. The Buff
falo Illustrated Times says
DR.. Alden is one of.New York's foremost
lawyers. He is IS years old and has been
an active practitioner before the New Y ork
bar for Is years. For number of years he
has been Instructor in practice and plead
ing in the New York University Law
School. He has been successful practic-
ing lawyer, and he has been engaged in liti-
cation affecting labor. Among the eases in
which he was interested was that before
the Court of Appeals affecting the constitu-
tionality of the eight hour law. His long
and successful career before the bar has
led him to seek honors in another field. He
has decided to give up his practice. He
will devote his time to teaching and writ
ing text books on law. He has already
written several important text books which
are well known to the lawyers of the land.
Personally DR.. Alden is genial and cul
throughout the State, made by his quiet
and unassuming manner. He comes from
old Puritan stock, being direct descend
ant OF John Alden. He is from an old
Maine family. His loss to New York will
be Buffalo's gain. The removal of the dis
tinguished lawyer to Buffalo will be pleas
ant news to the bar association here. The
accession of the new dean will place the
Buffalo Law School on footing that is sec
ond to none in the country. The Buffalo
Law School will be prepared to give d
course of two years which will be credit
to the city. DR.. Alden himself will lecture
on "Practice and Pleading" He is emil
nently conversant with theis, the most
technical and difficult subject in the law
curriculum.

A BELFAST BOYS DISCOVERY.
A Novel Use of Bicycle Tire in DAN
Work.

A Novel Use of a Bicycle Tire in Dairy
Work.
A Belfast farmer boy is using novel
and highly effective anti-switch on the COWS
in his charge. There are many devices in
use for preventing cows from switching
their tails while being MIXED, but all are
open to more or less serious objections
Some require too much time for adjust
ment, some hurt the COWS and make them
kick, and others are dangerous in case of
an accident The youth above referred to
takes worn-out bicycle tire and places
one side over the cows back just forward
of the hips, the other side hanging down
behind just above the gambrels. The tire
holds its circular form, but is flexible enough
to allow for any ordinary movement, but
holds the tail firmly in place. 1t can be
changed from one COW to another instantly
and does not annoy the animals. The
writer of this saw it in use and even ner-
vOus young heifers paid no attention to it,
but it did what was required of it to per-
lection The device is not patented as an
anti-sWitch, although most bicycle tires are
patented SO far as their original use is
concerned, and the diScoverer gives it out
for the benefit of his brother mixers.

Aroostook for Cobb.

Hon, VIM. I. Cobb, we believe, without
doubt, will be the choice of the Aroostook
delegation that will be sent to the Conven-
ton charged with the nomination of a Re
publican candidate for Governor. Aroos-
took county likes a candidate who repre-
sents breadth, business ability and clean
ness of character.-Presque Isle Star-Her-
aid.
One of the strongest things to the credit
OF Mr.. Cobb in his canvass for the COVER
norship has been the unanimity with which
those who have been closely associated
with him in business or political affairs are
supporting his candidacy y. The campaign
on his part and the part of his friends has
thus far been fair, dignified and free from
any and all personal attacks upon other
candidates. His course has been clean, up
right and manly. From the beginning Of
his campaign up to the present time not an
unklnd or disparaging word has been said
singing" and innuendoes have been left
for others. Candor, fairness and courtesy
have characterized his every word and the
words of his upporters.-Aroostook Re-
publican.

The Cabbage Trust.

Is it vision? Is it truth? The farm
ers about Racine, Wis, can tell better
than we, who must be content to swear
by the dispatches. They are sure that
a knot of those farmers made small
fortunes by forming cabbage trust
and changing on to their cabbages.
The sauerkraut factories had to buy
cabbages or shut down. The farmers
held on, sold only in small lots, and at
last forced the price to $50 a ton
Three of these cleared $4,000 and a
dozen others smaller amounts" If the
story of this Cabbage Trust is not true
it ought to be. 1t will be solemnly be-
lieved in this shop until a ton of atfida-
Wits to the contrary appears.-With the

BELGIAN HARES.
Once Flouri>hing Business in Maine
Which is No More.

Which is No More.
In Maine paper a few days ago there
appeared small advertisement setting
forth that the one who inserted it had Bel
gian hares for sale. To many newspapers.
as well as great many people of Maine
engaged i'll other pursuits, this brought
recollections OF d former tlourishing bust
ness, it might be called an industry, of the
State, which made quite furry and some
thlng OF scare. 1t was i'll 1900 that the
business reached its zenith. Belgian hare
companies sprang up in all parts of the
State; scarcely settlement could be found
that did not have its breeder of the animals
ed the business, and others had only ridi-
Guile for the claims of the enthusiasts.
An ASSOCIATION was organized by the
breeders and they could see only the golden
shower that was coming their way They
were going to become immensely rich at
once through the medium of the hares.
And then some Of those who had invested
and raised few marketable animals began
to look around for place to sell the hares.
Customers were lacking and the great de-
mand which had been talked about was not
in sight. They began to wonder where ali
the money which they were going to make
out OF the business was coming from. About
this time the annual report of the fish and
game commissioners came out. In it they
called attention to the Belgian hares, also to
me danger which would result if they were
to escape and went on to say that i'm South
ern California, where the business had
hourished, the people quickly became sa-
tlated with the hares as Il food and the
price had fallen to so low a point that there
was no profit in raising them. The commits
sloners also printed reports from various
parts of the country to show that they were
not safe animal to introduce into Maine
After this the business declined very rap
idly until now it is in the ''also ram class.
