l have Just got home from the old Bay
State. planned only to visit Portland
but | had such good luck with my
friends In Portland that it gave me
courage to keep on to Boston and

and made out to get home fairly sober.
On my way / stopped at Haverhill over
night and visited friends there. To say
that had good time there would be
putting it mild.
The next day went to see relatives at
Jamaica Plain, who fell upon me like
unto a thousand of brick, but it didn't
hurt any. Then l went to Plymouth
County, clear down on Cape Cod.
There everybody was picking cram
berries for dear life, old men, old maids,
young maids, niggers, the halt and the
blind. Some embraced to such an ex-
tent it fairly sprung my knees, but
did not complain.
Next visited Rockland and Abingdon
where found only three alive who used
to work with me in the shoe shop fifty
years ago. There is more shoe business
carried on in one shop now than there
was In the whole town fifty years ago.

Herbert Clinton Bacon.
BRYANT's POND, Oct. 2S,

BRYANT's POND, oct. rs.
The funeral of Herbert Clinton Bacon
took place here this afternoon at the
Universalst church, with the Rev. Mr.
Rideout of Norway officiating. The
service was participated In by the Grange
and Odd Fellows, and in spite of the
rain was very impressive.
Mr. Bacon has for many years beer
one of the towns most prominent and
highly esteemed citizens. He was born
in Woodstock, Aug. 10, 1851, the son oil
Abel Bacon and Cordelia Barry; was
educated in the public schools here, and
afterward settled on his fathers farm
He married Alice Hathaway; TO the
coupe three children were born-H
Alton, Ralph and Myrtle, all of whom
survive, as we'll as Walter Bacon, his
brother. His wife died two years ago.
In many ways Mr.. Bacon was active in
the life of the community. Always 9
Democrat, he served for some time or
the local Democratic committee; he was
for a number of years chairman of the
board of selectmen and also served or
the school board. For years he taught
schools in Woodstock and adjoining
places, and of his ability, tact, patience
and popularity as teacher, all have the
highest praise. In addition he was a
member and active worker in Franklin
Grange, having held various Offices in it
among them Secretary, Treasurer ant
| Master. At the time of starting the
Grange, his efforts were instrumental il
establishing it firmly. He was also ;
member of the West Paris lodge of Ode
Fellows, having belonged to it for thu
past 25 years, and having attained TIT
rank of Noble Grand.
For some time previous to his death
his health had been uncertain. On (
visit to Auburn, in search of relief, the
end came, Friday, October 25th. Mr.
Bacon is sincerely regretted by his rela
tives and many friends, his numerou
pupils and associates in the Grange, tn
Odd Fellows and others. A man of tn
highest integrity, amiable, kind ant
loving, he leaves vacant place in tn
com munity which cannot be filled. Hi
untimely death proves source OF pro
found regret and sorrow to all.

That great oaks from little acorns
grow is something that Nature demon
strates in very satisfactory fashion, but
it remains for Sagadahoc county
woman to carry this law still further and
show that the process is not confined
alone to that little acorn. In the spring,
this matron planted handful of potato
Feelings, and woman like, thought no
more about the matter. This fall she
was surprised when her husband insisted
one day that she visit the vegetable
garden, where he set her digging pota-
toes. 1t finally dawned on her that it
was her own special row of potatoes she
was digging. At the end of her task,
she had 100 potatoes as result of the
few Feelings she had planted in the
spring.
A man who has has been staying in
Maine this summer, tells this story to
the Maine Woods: One day as he was
driving over the hills he saw beautiful
deer drinking out of the trough by the
wayside. So intent was she that she did
not seem to notice dog which was trot-
ting down the road towards her. Fear
full lest harm should come to the grace
full little creature the man tried to
drive the dog away. What was his sur.
prise to see the deer, when she had
finished drinking, turn to the dog, greet
him by rubbing her nose against him,
while he responded by licking her face
Then together they trotted away over
the fields, evidently on the best of terms.
He spoke of his adventure to his Maine
host, and was told that the deer was
tame, that it had been brought up by a
farmers wife, who found it, just new
born baby in the field by her farm house.
The mother had been killed by some
accident and the tiny creature would
have died from exposure had not the
woman rescued it. She took it to the
house and brought it up and it became
household pet, devoted to its mistress
and all the members of the family. But
its dearest friend and chosen playmate
was the hunting dog, and together the
two ranged field and wood, the dog con-
stituting himself the protector OF the
fawn. This is one of the occasional
strange friendships of the world, and it
is valuable as proof of what propinquity
will accomplish.
