MADE STERILE SOIL RICH
How an Industrious Finn Prospered in
Maine.

A Finn with the un-Finnish name of
Jacob McKeen-has revolutionized farm
ing along the banks of the Androscog
gin river, in Oxford county, Maine.
Taking an old abandoned farm six miles
went to work with will and intelligence,
and now has one Of the most productive
farms in the county. In addition he
has brought many of his countrymen
over until there are now forty of them
pursuing his methods and making the
Wornout farms of Maine yield goodly
revenues
McKeen had only seventy-fve acres
at first and it v7ould yield hardly enough
for one cow. He cut down all the un-
derbrush and let it lie on the ground,
where eventually it rotted and helped
to enrich the soil. He dug up the rocks
and rolled them into the hollows, then
covered the rocks with earth until his
farm became as level as prairie. He
is industrious and resourceful as we'll as
intelligent.
The colony Of which Mr.. McKeen is
the leader is an experiment, and he be-
lieves it has been success. Of the
forty or more Of his countrymen he in
| duced to settle in Maine, nearly all are
prosperous. Some have married and set
tied on farms of their own. Others are
at work either for Mr.. McKeen or other
Maine farmers. I'LL
The Firms have become quite popular
among the Maine people, and the farm
ers freely admit that they have learned
| considerable from the newcomers.

PETITIONS TO ROOSEVELT,
They Are Criticised in Many Quarters
as Injudicious.

There has been some criticism
against the movement to circulate petit
tions praying President Roosevelt to
recognize Norway as an independent
nation on the ground that no permanent
government has been established and
the petitions will only tend to en-
lbarrass the president. AS far as is
iknow5 none Of the petitions ask for
at least, request action at the earliest
opportunity, leaving to the discretion
Of the president when. the proper time .
may be. Inasmuch as Norway has not
sent out any ENJOYS and presumably
will not until king has been crowned
or a president inaugurated, the earii-
est opportunity" may be some time
ahead. N

COMIC OPERA FOR
LODGE'S BENEFIT
WOMEN OF W00DCRAFT TO
PLAY PRINCESS PH0SA"
REHEARSALS IN PROGRESS.
TunefuI Piece VIII Be Presented at
the Mason by Cast Which ln-
eludes Many Clever
Performers
REHEARSALS IN PROGRESS.

One of the most interesting society
tation Of the delightful comic opera,
The Princess Phosa,' at the Mason
opera house on the consecutive evenings
of Thursday and Friday, May 4 and s.
Many of the principal characters in
the cast will be presented by prominent
society people Of this city, and the event
promises to be one of the most success
full of the season. The opera Is under
the auspices of Poinsettia lodge, Women
of Woodcraft, and Is staged under ef-
f1cient management.
The scenic effect Of the play will be
magnificent. as more than 300 costumed
characters will be upon the stage in
many of the scenes. 1t is an extrava-
ganza in three acts with the following
plot, sympathetically executed in every
detail: king Mimos and Queen Eu-
phrosyne Of Altruria, having been child
less for many years, are at last blessed
by the arrival of little one, the Prin-
cess Phosa.
LII CldtIull luty prepare IOT lle CIlTlS-
tening. The scene is one of great pomp
and display. The mighty people of the
court are invited with the humble
peasants and the fairies, but unfor-
tunately the cousin. the chief of wiz
ards, is forgotten, and thus through the
curse of the offended wizard comes the
plot of the play The princess is to wed
one Pierrot, the son of a poor shoe
maker. The queen declares that all
will come right after eighteen years,
and the act closes with a good night
slumber song by chorus. The second
act opens with the same scenic effect,
but with Phosa and Pierrot grown to
youth and maiden. Pierrot is madly In
working of the curse or blessing as
the case may be. Duke Macmillan of
Thrace appears on the scene. The king
desires his daughter to wed the wealthy
noble and Phosa is not averse to the ar
rangement. Pierrot determines to take
his own life. The king is smitten with
fear, since the curse has said that he
(the king) shall die twepty-four hours
after anything fatal occurs to Pierrot
The betrothal fete closes in mingled
strain Of joy and wailing. The third
act finds the king prepared to die, while
Pierrot remains in hiding. Phosa dis
covers that she loves the peasant and
not the duke. She rushes into the hall
where her father supposes himself to
be dying and announces the fact of her
love and the safety of her lover. The
scene ends with the recovery of the king
and the double marriage of Phosa with
Pierrot and Phosa's friend with the
duke" The opera is filed with action
and scenic display from beginning TO
end. 1t is after the manner of the re-
cent society success, The House That
Jack Built" and gives promise of as
great popularity.
