Captain Scott was one of Deer Isles most
prominent citizens, and was always inter-
ested in any good cause, especially in edu-
cational affairs. For fifteen years he was
Master of Deer Isle Lodge, A. U. U. w.,
and was a member of all the local Masonic
Lodges, and one who will be greatly missed
from their meetings, and by the community
at large. The funeral occurred at the
church April 18th, attended by Pine Tree
Chapter, Marine Lodge, and Harbor View
Chapter, O. E. s., i'll their respective bodies,
the Rev. L. M. Bosworth conducting the
service. The floral tributes were profuse
and elegant, among them handsome pieces
from the several orders of which he was
member Mrs Macomber went down to at
tend the funeral services.
Maynard C. Bean died at his home, 80
Waldo avenue, Saturday, April 18th, at $50
p. M, after long and trying illness with
tuberculosis. He was the son OF the late
Willard B. and Mrs. Nellie +. Bean or
Thomaston, and is survived by his widow,
his mother and one brother, Charles Everett
Bean of Thomaston. His brother James
died in Somerville, Mass, last June. The
deceased was clothing cutter and came to
Belfast seven years ago to work at his trade
and was last employed in Estabrooks' fac
tory, which he left last winter to enter the
Waldo County Hospital for an operation.
He seemed to rally for time, but the dis
ease was too far advanced to be arrested
and he failed gradually until the end, being
confined to his bed only two weeks. He
was apparently unconscious of his danger,
and looked forward to his plans for the
summer with unusual interest. In October,
1902, he was united in marriage with Miss
FlosSie Pearl, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
John b. Myrick of this city. When he first
came to Belfast he had remarkably good
bass voice and sang in several of the
churches, but the approach of his disease
was noticed first in impairing his voice and
he was unable to sing for several years.
The past winter he joined Timothy Chase
Lodge, F. and A. NJ, and that body gave a
beautiful set piece, and the large number
of flowers sent testified to the love and re-
spect for the departed and sympathy for
those bereft. Rev. David L. Wilson, pastor
of the Congregational church, held prayer
service at his late home in this city Monday
at O'Clock and the remains, accompanied
by the family, we've taken to ThomastOn,
where the funeral took place Tuesday after
noon at $50 O'Clock and the interment was
in the family lot at that place. He made
many friends during his stay here and the
deepest sympathy of all is extended to all
the sorrowing ones, especially to his young
widow, who has been most devoted during
his illness.
News has been received in this city of the
death of George W. Myrick at his home in
Sacramento, California. Mr.. Myrick was
former Maine man and well known in these

points Of the fancy breeder are not
worth consideration by the practical
sheep raiser, who is interested alone
in producing the greatest number Of
pounds Of wool and mutton at the
least expense possible.
To the ordinary sheep raiser it does
not matter whether the fore wool Of
the Shropshire extends entirely down
to the muzzle or in the Southdown that
the wool extends to the knee, etc. In

dogs. OF course there were no at
tacks as long as the sheep were kept
indoors at night, but when the wealth

way Of treating this tinid and inno-
cent animal.
External parasites were soon pres

apparent that something must be done
else disease and death would result.
These pests were constantly sapping
the very ufeblood Of the helpless ami

All necessary preparation, Including
the installation Of large tank, was
soon made. Now the persistent para

unceremoniously ushered away by the
sulphur or tobacco route, never to re-

one of my principal crops, and never
fail to see that the sheep have access
at all times to the cured leaf. It is

they will even learn to consume the

Slowly have we increased the size Of
our flock. An additional hundred acres
Of land was recently purchased and is
now being fitted for pasturage. Alfalfa
was included among our farm crops,
which plant to a great extent dispenses
with the necessity Of purchasing costly
mill feed. The use of corn and stover
has by no means been abandoned.

those who desire to render unto Caesar
that which is Caesars even as to the
calendar.
New York city has considerable
population Of Greeks, Russians, Ar
menians, Syrians, Servians, Poles, Bull
gartans, MOntenegrins and Vlachs, all
OF whom observe the Julianic Christ
mas. For forty days prior to Jan. Z
they observe a fast, eating no meat,
neither beast, fish nor fowl. They eat
fish eggs or caviare, but draw the line
there. Their principal diet for the for
II days. fasting Is made up Of olives,
beans, caviare bread and crackers.
But at 6 o'clock on the morning Of
Christmas day. Jan. z, the Julianlst
hint that these people count the days
till Christmas or that they rejoice and
are exceeding glad when the annivef-
Sary arrives. These facts are obvious.
Christmas means for them a glorious
feast, square meal, several square
ueals-in fact, round of square meals.
Our Julianist friends go to church
early on their Christmas morning, but
not too early. They eat breakfast
drst. High mass is celebrated in the
Greek Orthodox church at 8 o'clock
The forty days. fast having ended two
hours before, the Julianists are JOY
fully full Of the good things Of this
world before they enter the house Of
worship. The chief Wand, 20 far as
Ito symbolic character goes. is

died with walnuts, with 4 Cross cut

b not to be doubted that beefsteaks,
fowls. fishes, saddles Of mutton and
Dther substantials are devoured Here
and there one Of the presumably faith
ful proves faithless and falls before
Christmas, his craving for a meat diet
being too strong to resist. This weak
brother Is ignored by the faithful.
It is In the cafes in the sections Of
the city where the Julianists dwell
that this Christmas day is celebrated
with the most visible gusto. The Greek
young blO0ds'' gather in the little RES
taurants and sit long over tables heavy
with edibles and light with wines.
