Dorset people are very much IN
teIested in the Turkish question on ae-
count of the family OF Ms. Carhart
living there, and also the fact that Rev
Cyrus Hamlin, founder OF Robert Col
lege at Constantinople, was also from
Dorset. Mrs. Carhait was born at
Balrut, and her childhood was spent in
that city Her education was complet-
ed IN this country and she returned 10
her old home where she remained until
Mr. Carhart was able 10 make her be-
ieve that Dorset was safer and more
attractive place than Balrut. Dr. Geo.
Il. Post, father of Mrs. Carhart, is
Senior Surgeon of the Syrian Protes-
pnt College at Balrut since its founda-
ton in 1866. Mrs. Carhart's two broth
ers are also prominent in work IN Tur-
key. DR.. b. V. ID. Post is professor
at Robert College in Constantinoplef
and DR.. w. NJ. Post is Medical Mis-
sionary at Cesarea in Central Asia
Minor. DR.. W. NJ. Post was. in the
United States several years ago and
completed his medical studies here. He
was for three years resident physician
at the Presbyterian Hospital, and it was
during that time that he came to Dor
set for his Vacations DR.. Post, Sr.,
is member of the Bairut Relief Com.
mittee. Thus it will be seen that Dor
set is in close touch with the far East,
and is very anxiously following the
march of events,

Maple syrup that was sold early in
the season for 50 cents gallon and the
casks shipped here to put it in, and fill
ed with the best ever made, failed to
be taken because the buyer hunked and
would pay only 80 cents. Result, we
are getting excellent syrup for rs cents
in bulk and the syrup hogs are squeal-
ing because they can't get pay for the
casks. 1t sometimes pays to be honest.
Next Saturday, May 18th, trout
fishing begins. Every fisherman should
become posted on what the law is and
then abide by il. There is no excuse
for catching and keeping fish less than
six inches long and every precaution
will be taken to prosecute all who do
so. The fish hogs have in years past
nearly ruined our small stream fishing
by keeping all they caught
1t does not seem just right to talk
about dead people, but the -paralleled
middle, blunder and confusion of the
laws enacted by our last un-lamented
legislature must be talked about some
as there are so many curious and half
made laws that one hardly knows how
To interpret them and the state officers
cannot find what is law or what is not.
But what better could we expect of the
timber we make our Legislators out Off
But II is vexatious TO those who must
put the laws IN force, crooked or
straight. and probably the courts will
have TO decide many points before an.
