When Days Grow Longer.

Ta'lin' things easy
An driftin' along.
When the SKY is a smile
An the wind is a song.
When the moon seems to Waken
New life with it's glnam
When the night is athrill
And the day is a dream!
Loiterin' lazy
On high goes the sun:
The song and the smile
Make him hate to be dove
With the world when it's June.
So he Joins with the throng,
Takin' things easy
An driftin' along.

Names strawberry crop promises to
be satisfactory one this year, consid-
ering the small acreage that is devoted
to it. Our farmers have never devoted
much time or care to the cultivation of
Strawberries, yet those who have given
freely of their time and labor in this
direction have found it prosperous
Names total strawberry production is
a triile over a million quarts of berries,
which at All average of 10 cents quart
possibly a high estimate, shows that
Names strawberry crop is worth in the
vicinity OF 100000. Those who have
made a study of this branch believe
that it would be considerably to the adj
vantage of the Maine farmers, posses
sing fair facilities for reaching a mar
ket, to devote more attention to straw
berry culture.

Dick Chase of Biddeford considers
that he owes an apology to the cats
and dogs in the neighborhood. He has
been losing chickens and ne laid it to
tine cats and dogs, but he knows now
that ii was an unjust suspicion. Chase
was gazing with pride on the rem
nants of his flock of chicks. Sunday
Whe n down sWOoped a hawk and lifted
one of them and flew off to his nest in
d tree a little distance. In few
minutes back flies Mr.. Hawk and went
away with another chicken. Back
again and another gone, again and an
other gone again and again until five
trips had been made and five chickens
carried off, reducing the flock just so
per cent Dick did not try to scare the
hawk off. He said he thought he would
see how many trips he would make
without getting tired.
Somerset Reporter:-It is well, as we
stand upon the threshold of another
vacation season, to call attention to the
fact that the State of Maine contains
no less than 5000 streams and 1900 lakes
and ponds, in nearly all of which there
are to be found game fish. from the
thirty-pound salmon-which often
brings a dollar or more a pound-to
the smallest and juiciest brook trout.
These places are all easily reached by
railroad and steamboats,. In all these
inland towns board at reasonable rates
may be found as we'll as all the pleas
ures. and comforts of country life.

Firemen's Tests.

During the past week the firemen of
the several companies were given a
chance to respond to whistle alarm,
without previous notice. AS rule the
response was prompt.
The first call came about S O'Clock
Monday evening, when the whistle OF
the Mason Manufacturing Co. indicated
that Hose 4 was wanted. They were all
ready for the call, and had stream
going in one minute, twenty-eight and
one half seconds.
About an hour later Hose was called
out, and had stream on in two minutes
and seven seconds.
Not only the flremen but others were
startled by call for Hose 8 at fifteen
minutes after midnight Wednesday
morning. Quite a number of people
showed up on the street to find out
where the fire was. Notwithstanding
the firemen were all In bed, they had a
stream going in four minutes and twen-
ty.eight seconds.
Thursday night Hose was called
about 10 O'Clock, and got water on In
| two minutes and nineteen seconds.
Friday evening Hose 2 and the hook
and ladder company were called to
assist In q trial OF the "Paciflc" hand
tub. The tub Is respondent in red paint
and varnish, and her performance that
evening fully justified the paint. After
two or three trials to see that she was
working smoothly, the nozzle was point
ed from the Square over Odd Fellows
Block. With the brakes fun OF men, q
stream was thrown some twenty feel
above the ridgepole, so. that 1t went
clean over the building and wet thu
roof of the Congregational parsonage.
Then the engine beat hydrant stream
though no measurements were made.

Base Ball.

WEST PARIS u; SOUTH PARIS s.
The newly organized South Paris ball
team lost its first game to West Paris at
the high school grounds Saturday after
noon. Both teams hit the ball hard, but
the fielding of the South Paris team
especially in the first two innings, was
very ragged, and this with Parlin's lack
of control gave the game to West Paris
before South Paris got settled down to
business.
Cole went into the box in the third
inning and pitched one inning to allow
Rich an opportunity to warm up, and
then iu the fourth inning Rich went in
to pitch, Cole went back TO second and
Parlin took II. Shaw's place in center
field. This combination worked much
better and the game was well played
after this change.
Richardson pitched very steady game
for West Paris, not giving pass to first
or hitting a batter. Rich did well for
South Paris, holding West Paris to five
scattered hits and striking out four men
in the five innings he was in the box.
A very timely two-base- hit by Wheeler
started the scoring for South Paris in
the third inning, when with three men
on bases and two men ont he hit the ball
over Emery's head in center field, three
runs coming in on the hit. In the
seventh inning Cole drove the ball into
the edge of the woods, scoring home
run in spite of the fact that he slipped
and fell in turning first base.
The score:
