Bath Independent: 1t now looks as
if the Maine game laws may have to
be tempered with again this winter.
moose We're scarce so special legisla-
ton was enacted to allow an increase
in the number of moose in the great
woods. Now there are complaints
coming that there is scarcity OF deer
and one of the causes given is that the
moose have become so plentiful that
they are eating much of the feed which
used to sustain the deer during the
winter months and consequently many
deer are dying.
Ellsworth American: The silly story
is going the rounds of the Maine news
papers that Hancock county, owing to
the loss of liquor fines, is embarrassed
for funds; that the situation is serious;
that the county tax must be Increased,
but that this cannot be done without
authorization from the legislature.
That such a story should be concocted
at all is absurd enough, but that II
should be taken seriously, and sOberly
discussed by some of our cOntempOra-
lid tS-t ftN.lr
the LIQUOR fines paid into the county
treasury are less than they have been:
that was to be expected under a regime
of strict enforcement; the cost of en-
forcement has been increased; that too
was to be expected, and nobody is
kicking" about it. No appeal is to
be made to the Legislature by the coun-
~ to help it out of it's alleged embar-
rasment 1t is amply able to meet it's
liabilities, as it always has been, and
always will be.
NJ II. Kelly, who has one of the most
complete farms and dairies in York
county, on the Ferry road. in Saco. is
an advocate of the pure milk idea and
to that effect he has made his stables
and all pertaining to them a model OF
neatness and cleanliness. He has eX-
pended Il lot of money in acquiring
these details and his money was spent
to good advantage as visit to the
premises will show. He has one of the
largest herds of registered cattle in
the county and everything about the
place is spotleSS and conducted ac-
cording to the most approved sanitary
foot nf N
which Mr.. Kelly takes particular pride
in and which no doubt would be hard
or even impossible to duplicate. is tn ,
model help which he has on his place
He says that he has four men work
ing for him who neither chew mol
smoke tobacco. use Intoxicating liquors

to use profane words. These attributes
all tend to the general betterment of
the farm and its buildings and are q
source of much qualification to their
owner.
The old soldiers of the Grand Army
of the Republic and all patriotic citi-
zens as well will be Interested in Il
book just published by f. p. Putnam
Sons of New York. 1t is entitled Get
tysburg and Lincoln and was written
by Major Henry Sweetser Burrage now
chaplain Of the Soldiers Home at TOgus,
who himself participated honOrably in
the Civil War. In the first part of the
book an animate and dispassiOnatc ac-
count of the battle itself is given. Part
two recounts the moving story of the
Naional Cemetery with perhaps the
most complete and animate account
that has appeared of the preparation
and delivery of President Lincoln and
of his address at the conservation of
the cemetery. The history Of the Get
tysburg National Park forms part
three of the volume. Probably few
who have not visited the Park are
aware of the greatness of the worl;
that has been done there or Of the
grandeur of the memorials which mark
a battlefield that will ever remain
shrine of American patriotism. AS
Maine held honorable place in the great
battle, we are glad to note that in eX-
penditure for suitable memorials of her
heroic regiments she is exceeded only
by tn states of Pennsylvania, New
York and Ohio.
