A small yellow butterfly, doubtless
the only one alive at the present
time in New England made its ap
pearance at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Manley T. Pooler on Sunday last. 1t
is supposed that in some earlier stage
of development, it must have been
brought into the house, unnoticed, on
some plants that were out of doors
through the summer, and that it has
now mistaken the warm indoor air
and the sun of a southern window for
the approach of the season which is
not due until June 1909. The little
animal has seemed to enjoy his sur
roundings and is, of course, of great
interest to all who visit the Pooler
household.
Deputy Sheriff E. H. Cook of
Athens took the train from this sta
ton on Monday morning, having in
his care two boys of about eight and
ten years of age that he was convey
ing to the State School for boys at
Cape Elizabeth. They were once
residents of Skowhegan but had
moved to Hartland with their parents
some yeare since. The municipality
of Athens is responsible for them in
some way and a hearing before JUS
tice j. F. Holman in that town on
Saturday, resulted in an order that
they be taken to the State School.
Sheriff Cook had been trying to in
terest the boys in the opportunities
they will have, in the care of the state
and had succeeded in arousing in
them quite a little enthusiasm. Far
from being reluctant to go, they were
eager to set out, and discussed with
Mr.. Cook what trades they could
learn and TIE various advantages of
each. They will really have better
home and better care, in many ways,
than they have previously known,
with a chance to develop the best
that is in them.
