Under the law giving State aid for roads,
towns receive from the State, up to $500,
one-half the amount expended by the
town on piece of highway set apart as
State road. The towns expanding $500 or
more, and therefore receiving the maxi
mum aid Of $500, are as follows: Bucks
port, S603.50; Castine, S617.05; Eden,
5000; Ellsworth, S92S.96; Franklin, 1886;
Hancock, $500; Mt. Desert, $898.53; VIM
ter Harbor, $500. The other towns in the
list above expended twice as much as the
amount received from the State.

With country securing touring cars
storming the gates without, and auto
buckboards making the dust fly within,
Bar Harbor seems doubly threatened.
Bot how came the autos within the gates?
That's easy! A special act of the legisia-
ture and town ordinance make it illegal
to use automobiles on many of the town
roads, the law making it impossible
legally to get car into the village by land.
But man may bring his auto in by boat,
and run it around the streets of Bar Har-
Dor to his hearts content, and that is
what Harry Wiley and Robert Seymour,
of Boston, are doing. m

Hancock county deputies were on the
alert Saturday night when it was reported
that Francis, the escaped convict who is
leading the officers such a merry chase,
had stolen a rig at Orrington and was
supposed to be headed for Dedham or
Holden. The report proved groundless.
Francis on Monday night stole rig at
Prospect, driving to North Bangor, in
which vicinity he was captured to-day.
His feet were badly frozen, and but for
this fact there is little doubt that he would
have led the brave sleuths who camped on
his trail many another weary mile.

The Question box" at these teachers
conventions brings out some funny school
room experiences. At the convention in
Ellsworth last week one of the questions
which State Superintendent Stetson found
was: "Whst would you advise in case of
boy who insisted in putting dog in the
stove during the noon hour, and who was
upheld by his parents?" Supt. Stetson,
with characteristic ready wit, replied:
''Take the dog out and put the parents
in" He then went on to consider the
question seriously.

A West Trenton correspondent writes:
'sThe South Bluehill clam boat has made
its appearance in our bay, and the Goose
Cove clam diggers are slaughtering the
clans by wholesale, sending away several
hundred bushels week. Unless there are
laws passed at the coming session of the

the time is not far distant when it will be
impossible to procure even the small

The kinc's Chaffeur.

The king Is probably the only mo-
torist who has evez been regularly
driven by policeman Fer some time
past his majesty's motor-car has been
in che hands of the police, II in that
form it may be explained that the king
has been employing skilled policemen
chaffeurs from Scotland Yard. a1s
majesty, as Is well known, is accompa-
MED by policemen wherever he goes.
When he Is making a motor-car tour
it is not easy or convenient to have
his police attendants following In q
second car behind him, and IN the
royal car no place could possibly De
given to q policeman. The difficulty
has been overcome by engaging
drivers who combine the positions OF
3olice attendants and chaufeurs- The
men who have driven the king have
been chosen from among those chauf-
feurs who drive the Scotland Yard Of
fetal motor cars. At the same tine

his father, who owned chateau In

with credit all his examinations at the
university and his parents thought x
would do him no harm to see the great

consideration that Ia not always

man the handsome sum Of $1,000 to
keep him out OF the hands OF the
noney-lenders. The youth soon made
a hole in his capital, aided In 50 doing
by a lady acquaintance, who, meeting
the young man on his arrival in Para,
had thoughtfully agreed to act as pro
fessor OF "chic" to the unsophisticated
provincial. And it must be admitted
that she did 1t we'll She very soon

scholar had to say good bye-that Is to

course OF instruction In Partisan chic
necessarily came to an end-the
motor-car formed the subject Of liti-

the motor-car, having been bought
with his money, was his property,
while his ex-professor maintained that
he had given it to her as a present foE

Heavy Receipts,

The cotton market tried very hard
last week to climb to and above twelve
csnts. but the farmers kept piling the
cotton on the market until the mar
ket gave way aad the price declined
considerable. Every time the market
starts up the cotton Is rushed on TIE
market, which IS found to hold the
price Of cotton down. The cotton
growers sre now the worst cotton
5esrs In our country they are the
men shat keep prices from rising by
dumping on the cotton every time the
market starts on rise. We are not
blowing TIRE farmer, because many CT
them are compelled to sell their COT
ton, but we are only giving q reason
for ths depression in the price OF cot
ton. All who can should market
their cotton slowly, and IN that way
kesp up prices.

Wanted Negro who Assaulted Her

Mrs. E S. Chaplin has besn waited
on gays the Aiken correspondent OF

nent gentlemen of that city and ad-
Ylssd to leave Aiken. Mrs. Ohapin is
the person upon whom the negro Isaac
Knight committed criminal assault,
and for whom she signed petition
for E communication Of sentence to life
i'm
Some time ago Mrs. Chaplin movsd
into the city and has been stopping as
Mrs. McCullough's, next to the post
office. She had snnourcsd her intsn-
tion OF leaving the city some tine in
the near future but after conVerSing
with the gentlemen who called upon
Ger, she took their advice and LETT
here for New York at once.
The gentlemen who had cslled upon
Mrs. Chaplin were friends OF hers and
we're requested to do so by number
OF gentlemen, who, after hesring ahat
she had petitioned the governor to
save the life of her sssailsnt, though
sss had outli7ed her usefulness In the
community, and that it would be bss5
for her and for the community that
she should leave.
The sction of the gentlemen who
called upon her was prompted by the
action OF Mrs. Chap;n In petitioDtng
Governor Hayward to commute the
sentence OF the negro who ASSAULTED
her mors than anything else. Toe
impression In Aiken is that the lady
1as entirely too sympathetic In her
feeling for the fsnd who was justly
hung for the dastardly crime be COM
mitted on her.
