to pay for the risk Of fitting out ship

The Knowles first tried her luck off
the coast of Chile after right whales,

Unless renewed every six months such a

the metal pencil attached to an electrical

Relic of an Old Tavern.

Mrs. Aiyah j. Hildreth of Topsham.
has in her fine old ancestral mansion
MANY unique and valuable relics Of for
mer DAYS and bygone generations which
she guards with jealous care. What
she most prizes is the representation of
a bunch of grapes carved out of wood.
The wood has been cracked by the pass
ing years. and long exposure to the
weather of many summers and winters
has worn away the paint. 1t is a nota-
bic piece of carving for all that, and it
has history which makes it of great
vaIue in the eyes of lovers of the an
tioue. The bunch of wooden grapes
was originally one of cluster of four
lunches which hung as a sign on the
famous old Bunch of Grapes tavern in
King street. now State street, Boston.
as early as 1872 Two of the other
punches are preserved in a steel vault in
the Masonic temple, Boston. They We're
given to the Mas0ns in 1885, when st.
Johns lodge celebrated its 10th ami
yersary, as the first lodge of Freemasons
in America was instituted in the Bunch
of Grapes tavern. That which Mrs.
Hildreth has is believed to have been
the middle bunch. the other three hang
Ing around it in the form Of a triangle.
II was taken from Boston TO BowdOin-
ham on the deck of a schooner about
1910. and was used as a tavern sign
hv Mrs. Hildreth's grandfather. Adam
Paften. This tavern was situated in
what is now the town of BOwdOinham,
near the Topsham line, overlooking Mer-
rvmeeting bay, but was formerly Top

"No"' exclaimed Mr.. Clark. surprised.
Fact continued the other. Butler
was an officer in the Confederate army,

had a leg shot off. Before leaving the
hospital he was supplied with an arti-
fetal leg. Eventually he again went TO
the front, and this time n bit Of shell

senator. IF Butler had been a Union
officer he would now be drawing a dou-

Of its waters.
In addition to being perhaps the crook
eldest river. It Is also the most treeleSs.
1t is necessary therefore for the crowds
of hathers to come in the evening, for
during the day the sun beating down on
the wide sand beaches makes the river
anything rather than a place where ono
may be refreshed or invigorated. Bur
frons6 p. m, until midnight the Cimarron
is the bathing place of hundreds and
thousands OF people.
This is in summer, but in time of flood
the omnipreSent quicksandS make the
Cimarron dangerous. The bottom of

nary times, becomes a whirling current

such periods the river is stunned by
man and beast alike.
The Cimarron's waters obtain their
salt from the two saline plains in north
western Oklahoma ana from a tributary
Salt creek. which drains another salt
plain in Blaine county and is fed also
by salt springs The two salt plains in
the valley of the Cimarron are in Wood
ward county.
These sale plains as Il rule are fed by
salt springs which are near the surface
of the plains IN a majority of cases

water 80 per cent. salt The plains are
composed of loose sand and the salt wa

the plains are a. white as though COW

On the south side of the Cimarron are
salt springs There are some primitive
salt works in Blaine county. The method
of gathering the salt is very simple. A
hole is dug in the loose sand aud as this
fills the water is pumped into watts and
the liquid evaporated. Three bucketfuls
of brine makes one of salt.
The only use TO which the main salt
fields have tn usfar been put Is that OF

ducks and geese congregate ON the plains,

Lost Popularity Of Billiardq

Are billiards dying out, and are motor.
ing and golf killing them? In 1894 the
French treasury returns noted $4,000
billiard tables in the country. This year
the figure is only $4,000 The treasury
laments the fact, not from any disinter-
ested love for the grand old game. but
because every billiard table pays a
heavy tax. Motoring, Of course, con-
tributes its full share to the inland rev.
enue here as well as elsewhere, but SO
far the royal and ancient pastime, which
Is quite. new here, pays nothing to the
state. However. that may come in due
course. and golf clubs, balls, caddies
and links may be taxed to make up for
the shrinkage in billiard tables.--L London
