ENTIRE TICKET SENT
 IN WITH GOOD VOTE
Frank HaWley is the Lone Dem- ocratic Representative on the Board of Bur
 gesses.

The borough election at West Haven yesterday proved a republican land slide. The campaign was bitterly fought on both sides There had been frequent charges. and countercharges between the opposing candidates. The entire fight seemed to center on the wardens office. Both candidates had pr v.ously served in that capacity and fought their battle on a comparison of past records
 Yesterday many republicans voted as soon as the polls opened at noon and watchers declared that at no time dur ing the voting was the republican ma iority less than 16O. The democrats fought hard battle, however, for they canvassed everybody who came in reach and tried to induce them to sup port the Peck ticket. They seemed cheerful all the afternoon, declaring that when the workers came home from the oity at night the tide would turn and the republican majority would b. reduced.

 Morris Franklin Tyler was strong and hearty child, ana early showed his interest in books and study. He was brought up in the city and was afford- ed every advantage that could serve to train his mind, and. after leaving the public grammar school was grad uated at the Hillhouse high school and at once matriculated at Yale univer- sity, where he was graduated A. B. 1870, A. M. 1873 and IL. B. 1878. Adopting the profession of law was the result of circumstances which seemed to lead up to it, and he was admitted to the bar immediately ass1ter taking his bachelor degree at Yale University Law school He opened law office in New Haven July ], 1878.
 His early political affiliation was with the republican party, but the in- cidents attending the campaign be- tween the republican candidate for president James c. Blaine, and Gro- yer Cleveland, the candidate of the democratic party, compelled him to vote with the democrats, and from that time he had remained independ- ent in politics. His church affiliation was with the Congregational denom- ination. In March, 1883, he was elected president of the Southern New England Telephone company, and the growth of this enterprise has occurred under his management. He served as executive secretary to Governor Ho- bart B. Bigelow, of Connecticut, in 1881 and 1882. He was instructor in Jurisprudence in Yale university, 1893. | 94; full professor of law, 1as4-ss, and treasurer of the corporation, 1899- 1904.

AMERICAN MARKSMEN.

After travelling through fourteen
countries, meeting and competing with
the best marksmen of each country, l
can safely say America leads the world
in shooting. l know that some who
have visited the vaudevilles and seen
the imported so-called colonies and cap
tains giving their marvellous shooting
exhibitions will not agree with me in
this, but could they get back of the
scenes and see how it was done, then
would they say no truer words were
ever spoken than those of the late z.

can people like to be humbugged"
Not only does America produce the
best shots, but produces more of them

a family of any size where one of them
at least did not own some kind of fire.

with the rifle or shooting at a mark or
watching a chance to get shot at some

State alone issued more than $4,000
game licenses. OF course the Ameri-
cans have many advantages over all
other nations to become expert marks
men. In nearly every other country
only the very wealthy can afford to
own gun or use one, as nearly all the
shooting there is in protected game
preserves, and it requires license to
even own a gun. We have very few
such preserves in this country, and
there always will be vast forests and
marshes where the sportsman can find
game.
Next to America I consider England

me say right here there is no better nor

Old Maine Homes Kept on The Move
Map Makers Have Had Them in Two
States, Two Counties and Three Towns.


STOCKTON, April 6. There are hall
dozen old houses in the northern part
of this town which, having been assess
ed and mapped and taxed in two States,
I two counties and three towns, are
gradually working back to their Older
! relations to Maine geography.
The buildings were constructed about
a century ago, in what was then then
the province of Maine, a part of the
commonwealth of Massachusetts,, and
specifically in the town of Frankfort,
which then reached along the western
bank Of the Penobscot river, from Bel
fast to Hampden, stretch of % miles.
The first change i'll geographical posi-
ton was when Frankfort was set Off
from Hancock county to form part of
the new county of " aldo.
Later on the town of Prospect was
created from the south end of Frank
fort, taking their neighborhood of aged
homes along.
Another geographical upheaval slic-
ed Maine off from Massachusetts and
count.
Finally, the group of old homes was
moved again by the creation of the
town of Stockton from the dismember-
ment of Prospect, leaving the travelling
neighboIhood with the newer town.
All this happened before 1856.
For nearly half a century the ancient
homesteads OF the Stapleses and Stow
erses and Grittins and Harrimans were
epermitted to pay taxes and shelter cltI-
zens in the town of Stockton, county OF
Waldo and State of Maine.
The water in the aged wells, which
was presumed to have grown muddy
from much moving, became settled.
! The cellar walls grew knitted together
with vines and roots and hardened mud.
Local predictions said the Showers
neighborhood would never move again.
This belief had scarcely hardened into
a conviction before the Postotfice de
partnlent started IN to expedite the
rural free delivery mail routes and
! abolish many of the country postotlices.
The aged and very highly honored
postotiice at andypolnt-Where the
residents of the Showers community re-
ceived their mail-was among the first
to go. There is no longer any such a
postoffice as Standpoint in Maine.
Letters intended for former patrons
of this office must be addressed to 'R.
F. D. Route No. 1, Bucksport, Me-
The United States of America, in its
official capacity, recognizes the Showers
neighborhood as being in Bucksport,
though Bucksport is on the other side
of the Penobscot river and in another
county.
AS the latest designation places the
much moved district back in Hancock
county, whence it was removed by act
of the Legislature something like a
century ago, the local gossips are won
dering how long it will be before the
settlement shall move back into the
commonwealth of Massachusetts,
where it was first named and whence il
was started on its geographical wander
ings to places right at home.
Such survivors as were born in those
ancient houses are unable to explain
why they have been travelling so fal
and so long without having to cross
their own hresholds.-Boston Herald.

HIS LENTEN SACRIFICES.

My neighbor Brown away last May
Took my lawn mower, saying he
Would like to use it for day
And it has just occurred to me
It's keeping lent.
He never brought it back at all.
He may have kept it through mistake
But when the summer turned to fall
He came and borrowed my big rake.
That's keeping lent
A hoe of mine two years ago
He came and borrowed, then he made
A little garden with the hoe
And simply had to get my spade
They're keeping lent.
A clOthesline and prop or two,
A pound of new tenpenny nails,
A hammer that Was almost new
lie borrOWed-and his mem'ry fails!
They're keeping lent.
My good snowshovel's at his house,
A book that would like to get,
A trap he got to catch mouse
lie borrowed, and they're borrowed yet
Still keeping lent.
l can't exactly call to mind
The lot of things I've lent to Brown,
But if you'd ever search his house
You'd find stuff from all over town
That's keeping lent.
Umbrellas, tools and overshoes,
Ash. sifters,. monkey wrenches, stamps,
A dollar BILL won't say whose
Electric bulbs and coal oil lamp
All keeping lent.
Folks tell me should sacrifice
Some Injuries. They touch spot
That's tender, with this good advice
Since almost everything I've got
Is keeping lent!
