Says the Brunswick correspondent
of the Bath Anvil: Never before in
been SO many summer visitors within
its borders as during the last few
weeks. Every hotel and boarding
house has been crowded beyond it's
capacity and hundreds of applications
for board and room have been turned
away. The experiences of this season
show that a large modern hotel of
about Il hundred rooms should be
erected at Mere Point and a somewhat
smaller one could without doubt be
profitably erected on the New Mead
ows shore in the vicinity of Gurnet."
Women are curious creatures" re-
marked n conductor of the Portland
The remark was not original with
him, but he had a new instance to
prove it by. He then said that on
Wednesday when the car arrived in
Brunswick seven women, all strangers,
made a rush for the front seat. SIX
secured seats but one fat woman was
forced to stand. Finally she picked
out the most insignificant looking
woman on the seat and planted herself
Suuarely in her lap. The woman was of
course indignant and the conductor
was called to settle the dispute. Both
women claimed the right to the seat
and both had witnesses that the other
woman had crowded her out of 1t. At
ter arguing for some time the con-
ductor left the women to settle 1t for
themselves. Possession is nine points
in the law and after travelling for
about four miles the fat woman decided
that the knees of the thin woman were
| too sharp to make comfortable seat
| and gave in, taking a seat in the rear
| of the car. She could not help saying
| THE mean thing" she went way
| back and sat down.
