THE RULE.
In the game of science YOU
Have a certain rote

THE MAN WHO DROPS IN.
When your ideas are scattered
And you cannot think at all.
When your nervous systems shattered
And you're staring at the wall;
When you feel so bum. and ratified
That you swear it is a sin,
Then you hear the airy greeting
OF a fellow butting in.
When you've tried for half the morning
Bent on pounding out a rhyme
Telling what you think of fishing
Or the good old summer time, a
And you cannot get together
It's enough to make you thin
Then you hear the airy greeting
OF a fellow butting in.
When you're feeling cross and grumpy
And you want to be alone,
When you think there's really nothing
Interruption will condone;
When it seems the fates are working
Helping petty care to win,
Then you hear the airy greeting
OF fellow butting in.
Just the minute when you're busy
And your time cannot be bought
When you're digging like a dago
For a bright and happy thought;
When you're sailing through the heavens
Where the atmosphere is thin,
Then you hear the airy greeting
OF a fellow butting in.
Oh, We have a lot of troubles
As we journey on the way
What's the greatest tribulation?
Well. I wouldn't like to say;
But I do not mind confessing,
With a sort of chilly grin.
That I never liked the greeting
OF fellow butting in.

WITH SOUTH JACKSON PIONEERS.
AN OLD SCHOOL DISTRICT AND ITS PEOPLE.
From the Waldo County Advocate

The southeastern part of Jackson
township embraced in old school dis
trict No. 6 has always been more close
lv identified, by reason of proximity
in business and social relations, with
Brooks village than with its own vii
lage of Jackson Mills. Into this terri
tory came, in the year 1900, Joel Rich,
who felled the first tree and built the
first house there. He was Revolu-
tionary soldier and neighoor in the
town of Buckfield of Joseph Roberts,
another 1916 man, who first settled
Brooks a year or so previous, ana
whose story of great opportunities in
this new country influenced Joel TO
sell his fine farm on top of one OF the
slightly Oxford county hills and seek
the land of promise in the kingdom OF
General Waldo. He drove across the
country, two yoke of oxen drawing
his household effects and family, and
many times did old Squire Farwell OF
Farwell's Mill, Unity, relate his first
meeting with this sharp spoken and
shrill voiced old veteran, who camped
for the night near his home and made
noise and commotion enough to arouse
the neighborhood in the early morning,
when watering his stock and preparing
breakfast for his brood.

There were no buildings on the laud
and buj little cleared and in grass. He
moved into log house on lot number
Unknown as the Nchosts llamlln lot,
that had been occupied by Elder
Samuel Barnes, Free win Baptist
preacher. who married Patty, daughter
Of Elder John Whitney of ThOrndike,
and who removed to New York with
Skillings and Gates.
Phineas Stiles remained in this log
house until he built a small frame
house on his lot, near the present resi-
dence of his grandson, Mark Saunders
Stiles, which he boarded and moved in
to the following July. The same sea
son he also built barn, partly covered
it and long shingled the roof, keeping a
part of his stock there that winter,
having been compelled to sell some OF
it for lack of hay.
His life was rigorous and constant
struggle with adversities for many
years, and he finally died at the home
of his son Mark, Dec. IS. 1913, on the
place where he established one Of the
good Jackson farms.
Phneas Stiles was born in Bradford,
Mass, in 1864 and married Betsey
Saunders in 1871. His father was a
soldier of the Revolution and the owner
of iron smelling works at Bedford,
which he left in charge of the boy Phln-
cas-, while he was at the front, who
continued to supply the patriots with
iron during the war.
