Smiths Farm

When George K. Smith, register OF
deeds for Kennebec county in Maine.
Formerly Somerset County NAM pur.
chased an old. WORKOUT farm 10 Vassaboro
two years ago, he did so with the pupose
of making it pay.
Some OF his friends gave him the merry
ha-ha then, but they have now quit their
jocular laughter.
One of the first things MIR. Smith did
was to plant about 1900 fruit trees with a
view some day oil making an extensive
and profitable orchard.
In 1908 he planted all the land IN be-
tween the trees TO potatoes. He raised
1000 bushels and he struck the market at
a most favorable point He got SI.o5 for
every bushel delivered at the depot.
For fear that the operation of digging
the potatoes would injure the roots OF the
trees. Mr.. Smith tried a new crop last
year which has quite astonished the neigh
boring farmers. He practicly turned the
whole farm into squashes OF the Hubbard
variety. He planted this vegetable for
two-fold purpose. partly because it is toler-
able profitable and partly because 1t serves
to kill off the witch grass ADD weeds. But
10 solid acres OF squsshes has made the
eyes of the people open with wonder.
VIVA, on earth he vas going 10 do with
90 tons OF the product no one could con-
lecture, unless he was going to can them.
Mr.. Smith intends to sell them direct
10 Boston and other places. Finding
that the barn on the premises would not
begin 10 hold them, he has erected on the
farm a frost-tight storehouse 3oxoo feet,
and there he will keep them till well into
the winter. Mr.. Smith says that last win
ter squashes were selling at $40 to $50
ton. and he expects to make good profit,
although he raised Io,I37 squashes in
1904.
Mr.. Smith has one more wrinkle plan
ned for this year from which he expects to
realize another large sum. He expects TO
plant the same land to onions. Just by
way OF experiment he raised I25 bushels
last year to determine upon the variety.
II The onions prove successful he will
plant beans in 1906. He has also been
experimenting with this. and thinks ne
has discovered just the variety that the
people will tumble over each other TO get

crops, and is having great loads of luck 10

The Canal and Health.
lScientific American

There is a widespread belief that the
climate OF Panama is so fatal that the
of the canal can only be
at an enormous sacrifice
of human life. Both 10 laria and yellow
fever may be said 10 be today practically
under control, aud these are the TWO dis
eases which are most TO be dreadt WIN L
the great construction camps are Ms
sembled aud work is in full swing
the whole length of the
canal. According 10 General AbbOu,
+ he records Of the hospital Of the OLD
Panama Canal Company show that the
total death rate among the laborers WAS
far less than Is commonly supposed, be-
ing In fact from ID TO 81 per 900.
Ii seems, moreover, that the rainfall
has been the subject of as gross exag-
geration a. the diseases. II varies from
about 100 inches on the Atlantic to 80
iDches on the Pacific, record tina
can be duplicate in the United SfateS,
where the average rainfall on IN Attain
tic coast is about fifty inches, aud the
fall on portions OF the Pacific coast com
pares In total precipitation with thar Ut
the Atlantic terminus Of the canal. Fur
thermore, il will be news TO manV resi-
dents of our more nOrtherly latitude 20
Panama from 20 degrees To 80 degrees
Fahrenheit and that IL ia very rarely
that the thermometer reaches the high
temperature which ia experienced when
a hot wave passes over the United States.

To Stop Tail-dOcking.

Humane people the country over will
rejoice that unusual interest is being
taken In bill that has passed the House
and ia pending in the Senate to prevent
the cutting off the fleshy and bony part
of the horses tais-dockinR, as IL is
called. The operation is really sever
ing of an extension of the vertebral col
umn, and besides causing excruciating
pain, 1t renders the horse defenseless for
all time against tormenting flies. 1t is
urged by the societies for the prevention
of cruelty to animals that all humane
people shall write to their members and
senators, urging their support of this
bill. 1t is known as Senate bill 2,0S6,
and applies only to the District of Col
umbia, but it is probable that inasmuch
as some States, led by Colorado, have
passed such bill, similar bile will be
taken up and passed in different States.

fReporter-Journsl, Gardiner. ]

Ia 1914, Captain John Smith, of Poe
ahontas fame, made trip to what is
cow known as Gardiner. Me-, but there
WAS an incident that occurred during
that visit that is known by few people.
The Cabassas were presided over by n
chief having headquarters ut what Is
now Gardiner, known as Cabassas, who
had a daughter named Schools, famed
among her tribe for her beauty and
grace. She was, unfortunately, smitten
at once with the gallant captain, who
was, by the way, the first white man to
visit these parts, and vino was received
with great cordially. Smith had with
him lieutenant named Hunt, who was
OF rather a quarrelsome disposition ana
prone to mutiny. When the time c4mt
for the party of whites to depart Hunt
mutinous spirit showed itself, and with
small party of followers he left Smith,
going 10 the opposite direction. Hi.
party took with them as captives several
of the tribe of Cabassas.
The chief, considering the whites ont
party, by great mistake followed Cap
tain Smiths loyal band, which campeu
that night about four miles from tn,
present location of Gardiner, in an east
CRY ulGHCiibH. OeDbolS, llluhlHS u
warn the captain, hurried on before tn,
party of enraged Indians, but arrived
too late, for as she arrived at the canI
the first voley OF arrows was delivered
Thinking to save Smith, she fled |,
him, threw her arms about his neck, and
in that position received an arrow in thu
breast that caused instant death. The
chief was palsied at the accident. anf
ordered hostilities to cease. This allow
ed Smith an opportunity to explain thai
it was the other party who did the kif
mapping.
After sorrowful return and the buI-
ial OF Schools near the Randolph church
he party OF red men went in search Of
HUT. He WAS overtaken near M.
ridgewock and his band exterminated tC
man. Capt. Smith had the murdertt
Schools to thank for his life, for the
arrow that reached her heart was mean
for him. The grave of Schools Is un'
marked in fact, its exact location is un
known.

lished is nor known. II WAS sent to u'
bv Robert II. Gardiner, who found il
among some old papers. It is good

Startling But True.

People the world over we're Mortified
on learning of the burning of Chicago
theater in which nearly six hundred peo-
pie lost their lives, yet more than five
times this number or over 5000 people
died from pneumonia in hicago during
the same year, with scarcely passing
notice Every one of these cases of
pneumonia resulted from a cold and
could have been prevented by the timely
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
A great many who had every reason to
fear pneumonia have warded 1t off by
the prompt use of this remedy. The
following Is an instance of this sort:
"Too much cannot be said in favor of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and es-
pecially for colds and influenza, l
know that it cured my daughter, Laura,
of a severe cold, and believe saved her
life when she was threatened with pneu-

UNDER TWO
FLAGS TO Be
GIVEN TONIGHT
A DRAMATIC VERSION OF OUIDAS
GREAT NOVEL TO BE GIVEN AT
THE ORPHEUM.

The patrons of the Orpheum have a
great treat in store for themselves to-
night when they will witness a grand
version of Ouidas great play Under
Two Flags"
Il have taken special pains with this
production said Mr.. BUTLER this morn
ing and l feel sure that very satisfac
tory results will be obtained tonight.
We will have new scenes and fine cleo
trical effects. Miss Fowler will play
Cigarette" one of the best parts ever
written. The members of the company
all like their parts in this play so 1 am
looking forward to a very harmonious
performance this evening. Since the
management of the theatre having
changed its policy and in future we on
ly play two plays instead of three
look for better results. Putting on three
plays a week is virtual slavery and
the continual study and rehearsals pro-
duces brain and physical fatigue that
detracts from the actors work in the
evening. Now he will have more leis-
ure and more time and the absence OF
strain will lend new zest to his work
and the theatre-going public will bene-
fit thereby. 1t was out of consideration
for the public as well as ourselves that
the change was made.

WELCOME FOR
NANCE O. NEIL
EVERY INDICATION THAT THE
BRILLIANT YOUNG ACTRESS
WILL BE GIVEN AN OVATION.

That Nance O'Neil is to be accorded
a rousing reception in Honolulu when
she gives her matinee in the Hawaiian
Opera House at noon, a week from
TOMORROW was amply demonstrated
when the box plan opened at Wall,
Nichols Co. There was a rush for
seats that denotes a packed house and
the early purchase of both loges by
prominent society people shows that
the matinee will be a social event
wherein Honolulu's elite will be out in
force.
Among Nance O'Neils support are
CASTOR Merivale, Mr.. Glendinning, Mr.
Robson, Miss Jane Marbury and the
great Australian favorite, Mrs. Henry
Bracey.
Freat interest is being manifested in
the play THE Fires of st. John" which
has created such furore in Melbourne
Sydney and Auckland.
Miss O'Neil made her first hit with
this great production when she was
playing, almost unknown, few years
ago, in an obscure theatre in Boston.
The critics began to awaken to the
fact that a great artist was in their
midst and began to rave about her,
Miss O'Neil was obliged to take the
largest and finest theatre in the city
and played an unprecedented engage
ment. Since that time Nance O'Neil
has played with phenomenal success in
various parts of the world, winning
the highest encomiums everywhere.
She has an especial aloha for Hawaii
and has said a great deal in favor of
this city in many interviews on the
mainland. Her visit here few years
ago was a great source of pleasure to
herself and to Honolulu as we'll. A
rousing welcome awaits her when she
comes.
