Her Masy Desths.


 While some people have been un- kind enough to refer to women as cats. there is one member of the sex in this city who is in a fair way real ly to merit the application in one res- pect at least. In that she is showing a feline propensity to lay claim to more than one life. Heretofore the cat has been the only animal to which a null tiplicity of lives has been accorded, but the new contenstant for honors in this line has already died twice of- aciaily. Twice the friends of this re- markabie woman have mourned her death, once over her body; twice she has been oficially declared dead, and twice. like the cat. she has come back. Her first death occurred in 1907 when her husband was accidentally killed while she was In the hospital. Her whereabouts was unknown and she

 While there are not c few persons throughout the country--not counting the members of the Ananias Club--who for business or political reasons gave thanks when ex-President Roosevelt sailed for Africa, there Is one man here who is genuinely relieved for per sonai reasons That man is John H. storer, one of the most prominent bus mess men in the city and director In some forty four companies. His re- lief is not. however. due to such causes as may have animated Mir. Harrtmans but purely to his physical resemblance to the ex-President coupled with personal acquaintauce between the two men. For the past seven years Mir. Storer has played the unwilling part of Mr. Roosevelts double. During that time indeed he has had to devote much valuable time to convincing various and numerous people that no was not the man whom he 90 closely resembles and whose personal friend he Is. Now that everybody knows that the ex-President is no longer in this country. MT. Storer expects that de- mands on his time in explaining who he is not win be greatly decreased MT. storer has been embarrassed frs- quently by hearing cheers raised for Teddy" on his appearance in public places and by the attentions of en- thusiastic hand-shakers. The likeness between the two men has been ex- pehsive to the financier. his time in dollars and cents being considerably more valuable than that of the chief executive. Curiousiy enough Mir. Roosevelt and MT. Storer were at Har- yard together where they became close friendh. Their sons likewise attended the same school at which storer. IT,. defeated Roosevelt.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-04-11

Heroic measures are soon to be un- dertaken to save the famous Sandy Hook, the point of sand which marks the western end of the trans- Atlantic route The work Is not to ha insti- tuted for sentimental reasons. even though the Hook ia probably the most famous bit of property in marine an- nals, but for much more serious causes. For unless some plan Of preservation is hit upon, the Battery on the point of the Hook, which is of great strate- Elc value and forms New York's chief defense from attack by sea. may be lost and the city's famous skyscrapers left at the mercy of any invader. After every big storm on the coast tons of the sand which gives Randy Hook it's name--and sometimes hundreds of thousand of them--are washed away to make a useless bar on some part of the ocean floor. It is only of. late. however, that the government enSi- neers have succeeded in bringing about a realization of the seriousness of the condition on the part of Congress. Now surveys are being made, al- though much damge has already. been done? It has been found necessary to remove many of the targets sta- toned there for the use of battleship gun practice to save them from go. ing into the sea. In some parts of the peninsula the shore line has re- ceded 300 feet and many tons of val- uabie stone taken frSm the old fort reservation and placed to stop the erosion have disappeared with the sand it was meant Co secure.

Brunswick, Me. Nov. 12.-{SpeciaD
In the old days, when there was :,
long winter vacation at EoWGoin CO..
lege 1t was the practice OF many Of the
students at the institution to secure
a district school to teach in order to
not only add to their stock Of ready
money, but also for the purpose OF Sc
curing experience. Naturally the
schools of Brunswick Were much
Sought after and many men WHO ar"
now famous have taught in tie schools
OF this and neighbOrinS towns. Some
Of them have only taught for Il term or
two, while others have remained fer
several terms. In the latter class
would be found many Of those WHO
intended to make teaching their life
work, and who wished to remain in
q Brunswick school long enough to
secure a natterin% recommendation
from the school board. Nowadays the
students do not teach as much. as
owing to the shorter winter vacations
they would be obliged to lose too much
Of the term to teach for any con-
siderable length of time.

wick was at different times ruled over

is interesting from the fact that here
Rev Elijah Kellogg had his first eX-
perience with young scholars, and al
so from the fact that it las probably
been moved more times than any other
building in town.
The schoolhouse was originally
erected about 1900 on tie road leading
from Oak Hill to Benganuc, standing
on the land of J. Wilson. 1t was for
few years used as dwelling house
but soon after the dawn of the 10Th
century was purchased by the town
ana ever since has been used as a
schoolhouse. After being used for a
few years the attendance in that dis
trict so fell off that the town was no
longer warranted in keeping n school
there and the building was moved to
the corner of the Oak Hill and Bruins
WICK roads.
II was at this point that it stood in
1876 when Rev Elijah Kellogg, then
a fr, shman at Bowdoin, was appoint

A Book on Old Boston.

"Old Boston Days and Ways" by
Mary Caroline Crawford, is the lead
ing holiday gift book on Little, Brown
& Co.'S fall list. Miss Crawford has
studied ana delved into the history of
Massachusetts, until she is a perfect
mine of information on the earlier days
of that Commonwealth.
"Old Boston Days and Ways treats
of the period from the beginning of
the Revolution until Boston became a
city, and describes some of the most
interesting phases in the development
of the town. During this period came
the first theatre, the first street light,
the first modern newspaper, and the
first brick block. Social life was bril-
liant and gay, and through the genius
of Copley, the face of more than one
famous beauty of the day has become
as familiar to the present generation
as it was to her own friends Miss
Crawford gives us a picture of the
social, the political and the artistic
life. She has supplemented her text
with especially fine Illustrations, and
the book is a thing of beauty as well
as a fund of interesting and readable
material.
