a hawk in which the hawk was wor-

chickens and on hearing an outcry
among them looked up in time to see a
hawk rising with one in it's clutches.

A Rockland tailor shop is exhibiting
a vest made in 1915 and worn at a we'd
ding in that period. The vest is made
from doe skin, with applique work on
the front and lining. The work was
done entirely by hand, and with
skill which eXcites the ad-
miration of all who appreciate such
matters. The cost was probably not
less than $50. 1t will probably surprise

men of the period above referred to wore
much more expensive clothing than
that with which the youth of today so
complacently adorns himself.

man appeared upon the bank. Instant

up and he charged the intruder with
rush, the man escaping humiliation
by climbing a nearby tree. The moose
apparently was bound to get even with
somebody for real or fancied wrongs
and took up it's station at the foot of
the tree, paving the ground in decid-
eddy ugly manner. The folks in the
boat tried to scare the animal away,
hut he stuck tn his job until other mo-
florists appeared upon the scene and the
united efforts of the party were finally
