AN ISLAND THAT is BLESSED.

New York World
Crie Haven, an island fifteen miles
off the Maine coast, has a population
of fcrty-one people-fourteen men
thirteen women and fourteen children
all of whom lead the simple life and
are comfortable and happy. Each OF
the family heads owns a small cot
tage. These. with two summer resi-.
dence homes, few fish houses near
the tiny wharf and a small school
house surmounted by miniature Gu.
pola and a little bell comprise all
the buildings on the island.
There are only two graves in the
graveyard, and the visit OF a doctor
is an event Of rare occurrence. Sui
fering and hunger are unknown. The
mosquito. the rat and the potato bug
have no abiding place In this haven.
Doors are never locked and the people
pay only such taxes as they them.
selves assess for school purposes.
which. inasmuch as there are no roads
on the island. is the only expense of
public character they are called upon
to bear.
