more they were obliged to perform the
operation as a last resort for his life. but

the operation, they found not only the an

MAJOR sHoREY, EDITOR AND FARMER

In writing of the summer (?) excursion
of the Maine Press Association to Bridgton
we find we omitted mention of pleasant
visit to the home, and farm, of Major
Shorey, the veteran editor of the Kridgton
News. AS side issue the Major does
little farming-that is, he keeps two COWS
and a calf and ID flock of hens, and he would
report at The Bridgton after breakfast that
he had fed his hens and milked the cows.
A few years ago he became victim of the
get.rich-quick mania aud was fully con-
vinced that the keeping of Belgian hares
would bring him untold wealth. The
wealth is still untold and the hares are no
longer in evidence. What became of them
the Major did not say. But the hens were
there, and on our way to the shore of the
lake-Highland Lake-acc0mpanied by Mr..
and Mrs. Shorey, they came forward to
meet US. Later we were introduced to the
two cows and the calf, and the Major told
which he considered good story on Mrs.
Shorey in connection with the proposed
purchase of COW. The sequel, as told
later by Mrs. Shorey, was certainly one on
the Major. The attractive home of the
Shorey's fronts on Highland avenue and
the grounds extend to the outlet of High
land Lake, where there is stone wharf, a
boat house and casino. From this wharf
little steamer makes trips to the head of
the lake. but the season was over and we
had to content ourselves with look, in
stead of sail, up the lake.

Dear Sir: Josh Billings never said any
thing truer than this: "Sucksess duz not
konsist ov never maxim blunders, but in not
maxim the same wun twist"
N. Il. Watkins of Lott, Texas, had his
house painted some years ago, and it took
13 gallons of what he believed to be paint;
he bought it for paint, and it looked like
paint, the painter said it was paint.
He has had it painted again; it took
gallons Devoe.
1t cost $65 before now $35.
He knows it is painted now, and he's got
that $50 in a safe place. He's got his
knowledge in safe place too.
Yours truly,
