The famous Glover's Band of Auburn
will never play again. This was decid-
ed at the reunion which commenced
Wednesday and closed Thursday night
of last week. Members of this old time
band are becoming scattered over the
country and while there are still many
cornetists and other musicians able to

eral of those who in the old days play
ed the BASES have now given up music
and it is too much of an effort to get
up a lip for one nights work. The

erie Haven, an island fifteen miles
off the Maine coast has a population
of Al people-14 men, 10 women and IA
children--and is pictured as modern
Utopia where everyone leads the SIM
pie life and is comfortable and happy.
Each of the family heads own small
cottage. These, with two summer res
fdence homes, few fish houses near
the tiny wharf and small schoolhouse
surmounted by miniature cupola 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 occur

this fair haven. Doors are never
locked, and the people pay only such
taxes as they themselves assess for
school purposes which. inasmuch as
there are no roads on the island. is the
only expense of a public character they
are called upon to bear.
