fifteen reptiles were taken from the

were carefully coiled into great glass

There was some excitement in town
during the forenoon when it was known
that a consignment of reptiles had ac-

Snakes have never had a chance in
these islands as the authorities pro-
hibit their importation. For that rea-

hitherto been free to roam the hills,
the forests and swamp lands without
fear of being confronted by the Shiny

Good Will Farm and the Trolley.

Two Of the boys who are now study

ships were brought up at Il home for
poor city children in Maine called Good
VIII farm. This hom" was established
on trolley line between two towns,
since only thus could be combined free
dom from bad influences. opportunity

good schools. The founder Of the home
attributes much Of the success Of the
enterprise to the trolley which enables
his charges to enjoy privileges of both

vantage to hundreds of thousands of
families all over the land.-Boston

statements and misleading comment
has been going the rounds of the news
papers for the past year or two. and
has even appeared in several Maine

are not to be denied, but there is not
the slightest justification for any az

prosperity of Good Will Farm to any
trolley line. 1t was not established
upon trolley line, and Nd trolley car
has ever gone within half dozen miles

vast amount of good work it is doing,
but no trolley line has ever figured in
the development and progress of the
