AN OLD DIRECTORY.

John B. Reed, real estate agent of
Portland, is showing directory of that
city of the date of 1897. 1t was loaned
to Mr.. Reed by a friend who has refused
an offer of 500 for it. The directory is
three inches wide and six inches long
A peculiarly is that the names of the
streets begin with small caps. William
Pitt Fessenden is put down as a coun-
sellor at law, the firm being Fessenden
& Willis, the latter being Hon. William
Willis, who was mayor in 1857. The
office of Mr.. Fessenden is given as on
Middle street and his house on Main,
near High. Neal Dow is put down as a
tanner and his house on Main, corner
of Dow street. Thomas B. Reed, father
of Speaker Reed, who was cousin of
Mr. Reed, is down as a packetmaster,
his house being on Hancock street.
This directory was published two years
before Speaker Reed was born. The
back pages are filled with few adver-
tisements. 'There are some 1920
names in this book and don't believe
there's single one of this entire list of
men who is now in the land of the liv-
ing said Mr.. Reed. "Their bones are
scattered all over the EARTH

THE PORCUPlNE BOUNTY.


The Town of Crawford has Bill For 81 900
One of the amusing features of the
much-discussed porcupine bounty law
which has been in vogue the last two
years are the returns from the town
of Crawford, "a miles north of Machias,
in Washington county
There are only 1l2 people in the town,
and the entire valuation is but s26, 0OO
yet the treasurer has sent in bill for
porcupine bounties amounting to over
$1,000, which means that 1000 of these
fretful animals have been killed in that
neighborhood, or about 36 porcupines
for every man, woman and child in the
town.
Crawford is the nearest town to a
wide tract of wild and unincorporated
territory, and it is suspected that hunt
ers for miles around have fiocked into
the town to present notes for payment.
The payment is said to have some
what cramped Crawford financially,
and the town is anxious to get its
money back from the State as soon as
possible.

SPAR IN COURT

Judge William T. Warren of Lin
coin county, who is presiding in the
Spokane superior court, adopted a
novel method to suppress a war of
words and threatened hostilities be-
tween two belligerent attorneys in
his court yesterday afternoon
The incident occurred in the trial
of the action brought by Alfred Lee
son against the Sawmille Phoenix for
II. Graves has charge of Lessons in
terests and is conducting the trial in
his usual energetic way Every point
sought to be gained by Graves is
strenuously opposed by Frank T..
Post and r. ]. Dawson, who represent
the sawmill company.
In heated argument between At
torneys Post and Graves over the adj
mission of testimony the contestants
temporarily overlooked the fact that
they were in the temple of justice
and seemed about to turn Judge War
ren's court into a prize ring. In
stead of committing the lawyers for
down the gavel with force and grave
1y remarked Gentlemen, the ath-
letic club has recently fitted up a
modern arena where fights can be
pulled off. The court suggests the
propriety of adjourning to the club
house."
The effect was magical. The tenn
per of the disciples of Blackstone
disappeared at once.
'Td go in a minute" said Frank
Graves, with a smile. but the trouble
is you couldn't get Danson to at
tend"
"Ill place my refusal to meet you
on the same ground" said Attorney
Danson as he turned his smiling face
toward his former foe.
The dignified court allowed coun-
sci, jurors and spectators to enjoy
a hearty laugh.
Then the trial proceeded in prop
er manner.
