THE KENT BREEZES PLAY THE
 MISCHIEF WITH MERRITT.
 Merritt W. Hill, the genial jeweler and photo artist, came off the train in raging frame of mind, the other day. It appears he went up to North Kent and Skiff Mountain to take views for George Page, and had all sorts of ex- periences and rough time. He bought a ticket for the city of North Kent, slowed it carefully away in his pocket, and set out with a light heart at the prospect of a day in the country. When Clark Lane came along after the paste board he got rattled and took an inven- tory of every pocket. Finally as the train was pulling out of Kent he found it wrapped up in a tract a Salvation Army lassie had given him. On arriv- ing at North Kent he went up the mountain and photographed the school house which is 187 years old. The fact of meeting the polite teacher so rat tied him he went away and left part of his camera standing up against the schoolhouse. This necessitated long tramp back again. He then proceeded to Dr Skiff's farm to photograph a pond and the Skiff farmhouse. A great gust of wind came along and seized MT Hills $100 camera and dashed 1t down to the ground. With his heart in his mouth he picked it up and found it somewhat smashed. This necessitat- ed trip to Dan Tobin's blacksmith shop where he made the necessary re- pairs, took his pictures and went limp ing down the mountain. Kent is a mo- license town and Merritt is a temper ance man. but when he got on to the train he collided with the car door and took another reef out of his camera. But he got some good pictures, was used with the best of hospitality by the good folks of Kent, despite the ups and downs of an exciting day.
