When Moneyed Men Of Maine Feared
for Their Gold.

For two years, from 1912 to 1914.
the treasure of all the banks Of the
Forest City lay in the parlor of the
Marrett house in Standish village, and
as evidence OF the fact today upon the
parlor door can be seen the huge lock
which was placed there nearly a cen
fury ago to add safeguard to the
treasure.
During the war of 1912 the bankers
OF Portland thought their treasure was
in danger Of being looted by the Brit.
tsh forces. and In casting about for a
safe place their choice fell upon the
town OF Standish and the Marrett
house as depository for the treasure.
Loaded upon six-ox cart and guarded
closely, the money, thousands OF dol
lars of It, was transported 16 miles
and deposited in the place Of safety.
where It remained for two years With
a guard Of but one man to watch 1t.
The door OF the parlor in which the
money was placed was REINFORCED by
heavy lock having a brass handle,
and extra supports were placed under
the floor Of the room to sustain the
enormous weight of wealth. The house
Is still owned by descendants Of Rev.
Mr.. Merrett and is one of the oldest
of the town.-Lewiston Journal

The Touch of Nature.
Consider chickens!

In the market there are speckled
plymouths, and dominickers and fat
leghorns, clucking in many crates,
but they get no notice except from
customers who hold views concerning
roasts and potpies.
But take for instance the pullet
that the invalid boy carries in hia
arms when his mother wheels him
along the street in his rolling chair.
and you can't count the eyes that fol
low In his wake He is a little boy
who would be like other little boys If
he could romp in the street, and the
pullet is only an ordinary fowl, with

But If it were the cock that made
St. Peter cry, or the rooster that
crowed in the morn to wake the priest,
all shaver and shorn, or that good old
hen with yellow legs that laid her
master many eggs, the crowds couldn't
show more curious interest.

Cheering a Disease.

An Atchison woman who attended
medical college tells this story: In
lecturing, the professor would usually
wind up his remarks by saying, This
disease is peculiar to women" Final
ly, he told about Bright's disease.
This disease" he said, is peculiar to
men" Whereupon a woman student
in the back of the lecture hall arose
and said: There are seven women
present | propose that we seven give
three cheers that there is one disease
not peculiar to women. "-Atchison

Extraordinary Lightning Stroke.

Extraordinary Lightning Stroke.
Prof. A. Herschel, in the Quarterly
Journal of the Royal Meteorological
Society, described the extraordinary
effects produced by lightning in the
midst Of an open moor In Northumber-
land A hole four or five feet in di.
ameter was made In the fiat, peaty
ground, and from this half a dozen
burrows extended on all sides. Pieces
Of turf were thrown in various direc-
tons, one three feet in diameter and a
foot thick having fallen 70 feet from
the hole. Investigation showed that
in addition to the effects visible on
the surface, small holes had been
bored In the earth radiating from the
large excavation.

THE JOURNALS COUNTY CoRRE-
SPONDENCE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
Please allow me few words to your coun-
ty correspondents, some of whom l know
we'll l want you to know how much we
who are far away from our old homes and
dear old Maine appreciate the few items
that you send US each week. Many towns
are only heard from now and then. Now l,
for one, know just how busy you all are
down there. | can see you all hustling now
as l sit at my desk this present moment.
But you can surely spare a few moments
each week to make note of the news and
send to The journal, which is only too
pleased to print these bits of news, and we
are more than grateful to you. 1t also helps
your town or neighborhood to be represent
ed in The journal, as it is read from Maine
to California. We who are kept by business
in the large cities, and can only think OF
hills and mountains at home, find the news
in The Journal next to seeing and talking
with old friends in Waldo county.
So brace up and let US have live CORE
spondent in every town and village. Help
out to these poor homesick wanderers far
away. We cannot do without it and hail it
! with a smile each week.
With best wishes for The Journal, land for
old friends, we hope to hear from you all
each week.
