The front cover of the American
Boy for April, showing boys shooting
at mark, will prove of fascinating
interest to every boy. This number, by
reason of it's varied and interesting
contents, is one of the best yet pub
lished: Chapters XI and Mi of For
the Mikado," by Kirk Munroe, is full
of interest; Chapters II and Ill of
the English school story, "a French
Frog and an American Eagle" telling
about the initiation of new boys into a
secret society, are full of fun; ''Tur-
key-egg and Shuck," another school
story, with its apt illustrations, will
also make the boys laugh. Among the
larger articles and stories are ''What a
Boy can do in Town Lot" and the
boys will be surprised to find what lot
of fun thay can have even within limit
ed space; "Ivan Ivanovitch," telling
how Russian peasant lad relieved his
village from taxes; IRON Cameron's
Pickerel Shoot" story of fishing with
guns, etc.

The Isuilder of LongfellOw's Ship Passes
Away at Sullivan Harbor.

Longfellow, in his Building Of the
Ship, has the vessel launched, you will
remember, all ready for sea with the
colors flying from the mast head. AL
+, ticipatiIs a criticism on this, which
was less common In those days than
now, he cites an incident in Ellsworth,
! Maine, where a vessel was launched
thus complete, and tells in the same
note of tits vessel sailing away to a
foreign country and never being heard
from again.
The subject of this memorial sketch,
Charles W. Corners, who died at his
home in Sullivan Harbor Monday
night, April B. in his eighty fourth
year, was the Worthy Master" who
built this strange and goodly vessel"
1t was he who with a gesture of com
mand waved his hand" as she leaped
not into the oceans arms, but into the
vessel was the Annie 5. Hall and she
was launched at midnight
The Annie :. Hall was but one Of the
many handsome schooners built by
Master Corners during his long and
busy life He was born in CORVALLIS,
n. s., in 1921, where he learned his
trade. He came to Sullivan about fifty
years ago and with his wife and small
family, which increased to seven, all Of
whom, with the exception of the
youngest, who died when child,
lived to bury both parents, and with
the exception of the oldest daughter,
Mrs. Merrill, who was detained in New
York by the severe illness of her daugh
ter, all were present at the funeral
which took place Thursday at the
home.
Mr., Conilers had been worthy tltis
zen OF the place all through his long
residence here. He owned and kept up
one of the best residences III the tcWf
lie enterprise tenaefihg toward the
good of the town in general. He had
not been actively engaged in business
during the past ten years. The last
vessel built under his supervision was
the handsome four-masted schooner,
Willie L. Maxwell, built for the late
John Paul Gordon at Franklin about
| ten years ago. Since the death of his
wife few years ago, he has gradually
failed, suffering but little and passing
away comfortably at the end. During
these years he has had the constant
care of devoted daughters, lacking
neither material nor physical comforts.
He is survided by two sons, David H.
Corners, Edward r. Corners; four
daughters, Mrs. Edna Merrill, Mrs.
Martha Carleton, Mrs. Jessie F. Law

Shot a Salmon.

BANGOR, April II. To Charles E.
Tefft, the sculptor, who is visiting his
former home in Brewer, belongs the
honor of killing the first salmon of the
season at the Bangor pool. He took
the fish on fly and finished him with a
rife.
Mr.. Tefft had been casting from the
Brewer shore most of the afternoon
and remained some time after the boats
had left the pool. He had no gait with
him, but he had small target rifle. At
4 O'Clock or whereabouts he got a rise
and hooked the fish. After a long
fight he got the salmon into shallow
water Having no gait he picked up
his rifle and by an excellent shot struck
the fish in the head killing him at once.
The salmon weighed % pounds.
This is the Sd or 4th first salmon
we have seen reported as caught at the
Bangor pool. Ed.)

Burnham's Big Boom.

BURNHAM, Me, April IA. The old town
of Durham has been slumberng in peace
fullness for the last 20 years, but has at last
awakened with a start, and now bids fair
to enjoy boom such as its inhabitants lit
tie dreamed of.
Burnham's fine water power has been
purchased by one of Augustus millionaires.
Charles A. Millken, and it is rumored that
a mill will be built soon that will employ
loo hands,
TO-DAY the carpenters hammers can be
beard erecting a fine new hotel, which is
being built by Mr.. and Mrs. John E. Hart
of this place. The hotel under construction
is to be located on the exact spot where the
old one was burned. The new hotel is to be
40 by 60 feet and three stories high, with
all the modern improvements. This hotel is
sure to be the pride of Burnham people,
During the last year, some new dwellings
have been built, two of them costing from
81 900 to $1,000 each
1t is the opinion of some of the Burnham
business men that in the near future Burn
ham will equal its rival town of Pittsfield.
Let the good work go on.

Mark Was Moving.

Mark Twain is very fond of smoking,
and some of the good things people are
fond of quoting from him are the
humorous and evasive answers he
makes to friends who feel it their duty
to demonstrate with him about the
smoke habit. "Why, how can one
smoke too much" he said on one occa-
sion, ''when there are only "a hours in
the day to do it IMP" When he was a
young and struggling newspaper writer
in San Francisco lady of his acquaint-
ance saw him one day with cigar box
under his arm looking in at shop win
dow. ''Mr. Clemens she said severe
ly, 81 always see you with a cigar box
under your arm. l am afraid you are
smoking too much" ooh, no! 1t isn't
that said Mark, I'm moving again. -

Spring Song.

Spring comes
For now the robins on the wing,
The sparrow, too, in sober suit of gray;
These tell US, in the wild, sweet notes they
sing,
That it Will soon be May.
Spring adhes.
For 10 on willows by the brook,
The early blossoms show their downy
heads,
And soon the maytlowers with their frag-
rance sweet ",
Will peep from out their covered beds.
Springs here!
And on the mornings balmy breath,
Is waited fragrance from the fields, now
bare,
A promise from our bounteous mother,
Earth,
OF the new beauties which she soon shall
wear
Springs come and CO.
But with fresh JOY we greet
Each in its passage, treasuring day by
day
From them new strength to meet our du-
ties all,
Pra sing the loving care which guides our
way.
