Tune, America.
We meet to celebrate
The date we joined the State,
The State of Maine.
From ev'ry vale and hill
Let them break forth who will,
And sing the songs which thrill
Hearts of Montvlle.
hundred years ago,
Let all the country know,
We joined the State.
A hundred years of toll
On this, our fertile soil;
We've come to claim the spoil
OF old Montvlle.
Beneath these leafy boughs
We now renew our vows
And greet our friends.
No fairer town of hill
And vale and rock and rlll;
Of welcome drink your fill,
To dear Montville.
A cent-u-r-y since we
Clasped hands to ever be
A loyal town.
A century hence will tell
OF honor guarded well
And Waldo county swell
With pride of Montville.
Mr.. Bartlett, in his address of vel

Mr.. Phillips, the poet laureate of the
South Montville Club, then read the
following poem:
PROLOGUE.
The bard sat on the steep, and he was gray
He looked upon the stars with eyes OF clay
The stars that rose and sank beyond the
hills;
Twas there he tuned his harp to sound of
And as their cadence fell upon his ears,
Fires, kinding in his heart. burned out his
fears,
And lit his late dull eyes with visions flame
That urged his thought astir, and gave 1t
name.
And then he sang of mount and mead and
OF me pln Whose i&ty wills could not incline
To bow unto oppression's CALLING yoke,
Who in the wild Freedoms glad pathway
broke:
OF men who lords and kings disdained to
be,
" no felled the virgin wood and cleared the
Built in the wilderness the shrine of right,
And cleft Wrongs letters forged in feudal
might.
He smote the quivering strings and sang of
Made where the ancient forest used to
gloam,
Foreshadowing sheltered lawns and stretch
ing leaS,
With apple bloom and hum of busy bees,
Ancestral hearths, lamp-lights, thankglv-
ing boards,
The rarest worth that jealous memory
boards
OF TOYS and books, Of rural song and lore,
The tear-dimmed eye, the blessing at the
door,
AS one by one the grown and scattered
brood
Essayed the worlds wide field of i'll and
good;
The hand-thrown shuttle and the spinning
wheel,
The flax and wool wound on the elbow
reel;
Quaint sounds and sights were mingled in
the lay,
AS sang the pastoral bard the bygone day;
But most of all he joyed that feudal power
Had there no castle built with moat and
tower.

John L. Goss of Stonington has a
contract for church in New York. It
is small stone. There will be five large
columns, each in three pieces, and three
feet, 10 inches in diameter. These will
be roughed there, then taken to Vinal-
haven to be turned and polished. They
also have some large square stone to be
polished. There will be over so feet of
polished work in each stone.

Ours is the day that burns as ovens burn,
And proud and wicked hearts to ashes
AS stubble; so the Hebrew prophet told:
The dross shall disappear, leaving the gold.
If for that heated fray one takes the field,
True pride shall hail him back bearing
his shield,
Or on it dead, since for the right he fought
And none shall speak his life as come to
naught,
But all about him shall his loss bemoan,
And they who knew him say in undertone,
GLOW is the strong staff broken, and the
rod
"Of beauty. as they turn reluctant
sod.
It's better thus to go than wistful stay,
And guard the paltry hoard for LIES i'll
day.
Heaven holds the priceless treasure time
has lost,
Counts him who fights for right more than
host.
Valor like that gladdens the century past;
Honor thus bright awaits the goal at last.
He who shall sing the next centennial song
VIII own this truth | fain would watt
along.

a GENUINE NEW YORKER

The author of Pigs Is Pigs"
whose turkey story in the American
Magazine for November contains such
an amusing surprise, describes one
of his characters as "a genuine New
Yorker" And this is the picture:
HE lived in a hotel, and he dress
ed like a fashion plate. He gave the
walters, always, a good fat tip when
he ate, and he expected the best SER
vice in return. He was the kind OF
New Yorker that runs in grooves, in
pleasant grooves, but in grooves, and
the general impression is that that
kind of New Yorker will never will
lingly get out of his grooves, and that
if he does get out he is lost and mis-
cradle. He was the kind of New
Yorker that you cannot imagine will
ingly straying above One Hundredth
street. When he agreed to cross the
raging East River, and spend a whole
afternoon in a suburb, his prospective
host was thoroughly surprised"

NEW SOURCE OF pApER.

A big opportunity for southern
farmers is offered by the perfection
of a new method of making paper
namely, out of cotton stalks-accord-
ing to Frank N. Bauskett, who has
an article on this subject in the No
vember Technical World Magazine,
entitled New Source of Paper" Ac-
cording to this authority, the practi-
cal effect will be to increase the pres
ent value of the cotton crop of the
south by nearly 100 million dollars
annually. Mr.. Harvie Jordan, Pres
ident of the Southern Cotton Associ-
alton, declares that the manufacture
of paper from fiber of the cotton stalk
is one of the latest and most interest
ing inventions oof the new century.
Fol- many years, expert inventors
have been busily engaged experiment
ink with the cotton stalk, and recent
developments give assurance that
their labors are to be rewarded with
signal success. Paper manufactured
from the cotton stalk is of the strong
est texture and softest finish. Sever
al plants will be erected during the
next few months in the south, which
will be in full operation within the
next year. Mr.. Bauskett's article is
illustrated with reproductions from
photographs showing the machines
used in this new process of manufac-
turing paper.

HUGE BRIDGE ADRIFT.

We are familiar with many differ
ent kinds of moving. Even Office
buildings are moved in these days.
But when 10000 tons of steel begins
to move of it's own accord it is a very
difficult matter to prevent it from
going as far as it wishes, says Henry
Hale, in Technical World Magazine
for November. He then describes
the drifting o fthe big Williamsburg
bridge that stretches across the East
River, New York. This great bridge
cost, approximately, 20 million dol
lars; and owing to an accident and
fire, it has started to drift down
stream. Some of the most noted
bridge engineers and constructors in
the world have been called to make
an examination of the structure, but
are at a loss to know what to do to
prevent it from further shifting. Ow-
ing to the great strain upon the ca
bles caused by the movement, 1t is
impossible to use the bridge except
for ordinary traffic, and no railroad
cars of any kind are allowed to cross
it, as it is feared the vibration and
weight might cause a portion OF the
bridge to collapse utterly.
