A little tale has drifted in from
Cobbosseecontee within the past few
days which tells not Of the many
pleasures which are brought to one by
life along the shores of the pictures
que resort but rather of the trials
which are sometimes sandwiched in
between The trials in this case came
to a certain Augusta skipper who is
the owner of a launch and who spends
much time navigating the craft after
banking hours. He is quite expert in
the handling of the launch and is de-
sirous also that his wife should become
proficient in the art of gasoline naVi-
CATION. and to that end the other day
was instructing her how to make
landing She did not get the knack
on the first trial and he took the wheel
in order to show her how to do 1t.
There was another lady in the boat
with them and it was up to him to do
the thing just right. He came along
side the dock in good shape and pro-
ceeied to shut off his engine but In
doing so he did not throw the lever FAR
enough over and the craft commenced
to back. In the meantime he mad
stepped from the launch to the wharf
and as he saw the boat backing away
he grabbed the flagstaff on the bow
and tried to hold the craft that way.
but the horsepower of the engine was
fully equal to his and the boat kept
backing He is a tall man and has Il
good reach. but as he leaned out over
the edge of the wharf there speedily
came a moment when he lost MS
equilibrium and the inevitable happen
ed. Help was at hand in the person of
one of the other cottagers. so that me
launch and it's occupants were soon re-
turned to the wharf and the only
disagreeable consequence of the incl
dent was the wetting which was
monopolized by the owner OF the
launch. but it is not learned that the
lessons to his better half have been
resumed.

Most homes have many old photo- graphs too precious to be thrown away. yet of little interest to those outside the immediate family. To save space they are often packed away in boxes: so. often when we would gladly spend a little time looking over the familiar scenes and faces. it seems too much trouble to get them out. Here is a sffav pie solution of the problem:
 Put the photographs in clean. hot water; in short time the pictures can easily be removed from the cards When dry. either trim down, to econo4 mize space. or cut away the baclxgrouna entirely. This last. of course. requiraa great care. Mount them In a scrap- book; or, better still, book made en- pecially for kodak pictures.
