THE wITcH's CURSE.
A Bucksport Legend Of Colonial Days
In Maine,

In Maine,
Close by the road on the outskirts O
the old seaport town Of Buekspoft, o.
the Penobseot river, Is a small FANNY
cemetery. Within It's Enclosure sieeI

first settled the town and beqneathed
Ii their name and legend.
/ The largest and most conspicuous
monument IN the cemetery Is a tai
granite shaft, which is IN plain sight OF
the highway. On one side is the in
scription: "Col. John Buck, the Founder
Of Backsport. A. D. 17G2. Boru in
HaYerhill, Mass, 1918. Died March Is,
1895"
On the other side Is the single word
Buck" and also something not
wrought by the marble worker. On
the smooth surface Of the pedestal Is
a curious outline, which can. be easily
Imagined to be foot OF normal size.
The people who say that il IS a foot
believe in the legend which has oft
been told in Bucksport
The story Is that Colonel Jonathan
Buck was very harsh man and the
leading spirit in his day and genera
ton. He was the highest in civil au-
thority, and his word was law in the
community In which he resided lie
was an out and out Puritan and to
him witchcraft was the incarnation of
blasphemy. Thus, so the story goes,
when certain woman was accused of |
at the first clamorings Of /
the populace Colonel Bdck ordered that /
she be imprisoned, and later she was
to be executed as a witch
The execution day came. and the
woman went to the gallows. cursing
her judge with such terrible words
that the people shuddered, but the
magistrate stood unmoyed. All was
'eady, and the hangnan was about to
perform his duty, when the woman
urned to Colonel Buck, and, raising
me hand toward heaven. she said:
Jonathan Buck, listen to these
words, the last my tongue shall utter.
t is the spirit Of the only living God
which bids me speak to you You will
Don die, and over your grave they will
rect a stone, that all may know the
pot where your bones lie and crumble

Upon that stone the imprint of my
cot shall appear, and for ali time aft

She then turned to her executioners.

court upon the duties of district
judges in this particular. If the
court holds that the district judges
must consider applications for drug
gists permits and pass upon their
merits, then an order denying per-
NIT may be an appealable order, and
the druggist may go to the supreme
court for relief. This would put the
matter Of final decision of the drug
permit matter in individual cases
upon the supreme court. 1t was, we
think. the intention Of the last legis-
lature, to raise the standard Of the
drug business so far as it applies to
the sale of liquor by requiring the
applicant for a permit to satisfy the
district Judge that the applicant was
a man fit TO be trusted with the sale
Of liquor for medicinal purposes. We
cannot say that we blame district
judges for not desiring to get into
the business of deciding these drug
permit applications, and yet it seems
about the best means of deciding
these important questions. =

Bowman, Nov IA strip of terri
tory twenty miles in length and from
four to seven miles wide lying to the
north of Bowman was swept by fire
Friday afternoon and hundreds OF
dollars worth of property, consisting
of hay. grain and buildings was de-
stroyed.
The fire started near Ives, station
on the Milwaukee road east of Rhame
by sparks from locomotive. A high
wind was blowing and the fire swept
along in the tall grass at the speed of
fast horse. Many of the farmers
had fire guards broken and burned
but they were not wide enough, the
flames jumped them, and all the
owner could do was to watch his
grain. either in stack or granary, go
up in smoke, with faint hope OF be-
ing remunerated for his loss. Thous-
ands of acres of range were burned
over and some bands of sheep will
have to be moved elsewhere.

A Curious Old School Report Made Il
Boston In 1722.

A Curious Old School Report Made Ia
Boston In 1722.
In the town records Of the city OF
Boston there is curious passage
which records how scho0lmaster was
examined aud what happened. The
manner in which the visit Of inspection
is recorded makes one incline to the
view that the unlucky schoolmaster
may not have had fair play, although
If he was really inefficient he may be
said to have been judged by his peers.
In the record for the 22d Of May,
1922, it is set forth that:
"Coll Pen Townsend, Jeremiah Al
len Esqr. & John Edwards together
with the Select men, Vissitted the
wrighting School at the Southerly End
Of Boston on Thursday the Oath apll
1922, and Examined the Scholars un-
der mr. Ames Anglers tuition as to their
proficiency in Reading writing Scy-
phering s. the masters ability Of teach
ing & 1nstructing youth his rules &
methods therefore And are of Opinion
That it will be no Service to the Town
to Continue mr. anger in that Employ"
Whereupon it was voted that the
said Mr.. Ames Anger should not con-
tinue master Of the Said South
school,"
1t is true that nothing Is said Of the
methods of spelling inculcated at the
"wrighting School," and it Is also pos
sible that a clerk rather than khe CON-
mittee was responsible for the errors
of the record, but there Is certainly
something absurd in the passage as it
stands.-Exchange.

Some of the district judges of the
state have refused to grant druggists
permits to sell intoxicating liquor up
on any showing whatever. The
ground upon which the refusal is
made does not seem to be exactly
clear, but 1t seems the general be-
lief that these district judges hold
that the legislature has imposed up
on them q duty not contemplated by
the constitution and that IT is not ne
cessary for them to assume this duty.
The druggists Of McHenry county
have appealed from an order of the
district Judge denying permits to the
supreme court and we shall some
time have a ruling Of the supreme

The Tribune is making an especial
effort to keep the people of this Sec
ton of the state in close touch with
the work being done by the farmers
Institutes now being held through
the Missouri slope country. There
is no more important work in the in
terests of the farmers themselves.
Through the addresses of qualified
speakers they are kept in touch with
what is being done along the lines
of advanced agriculture. They are
kept informed upon the latest dis
coveries with relation to scientific
farming. They are enabled to meet
their fellow farmers and exchange
views and experiences. One of the
troubles with the farming class is
that it keeps itself too greatly iso-
lated. The demands upon the time
of the busy farmer are such that he
feels he cannot spend the time neces-
sary to visit with his neighbors or to
attend farmers Institutes. But the
time thus spent is repaid many fold.
We think it greatly to be regretted
that the railroads are no longer able
to grant special excursions when the
farmers of various counties are taken
ina body to the state agricultural
college to see what splendid work is
being done there in the way of scien-
tific and experimental agriculture.
But if this is not possible, it is pos
sible for the farmers to attend the
farmers Institutes and learn what is
being done at the state experiment
station. The press Of the state can
well afford to give good share of its
time and space to the dissemination
of the important truths now being re-
vealed by agricultural experts at the
farmers institutes.

THE BLUE WHALE.
A Monster Skeleton That Is Eighty
seven Feet In lenqth.

A Monster Skeleton That Is Eighty
seven Feet In Length.
What is claimed as the largest ami
NAL in the world is represented by a
colossal skeleton in the museum Of
Christchurch, New Zealand, says the
London Globe. This is the remains Of
a large specimen of the blue whale
stranded on the coast Of that country.
This whale is probably the largest Of
all living animals. The length Of the
skeleton is eighty-seven feet, and the
head alone is twenty-one feet. The
weight of the bones is estimated at
nine tons. This gigantic whale gets
its name Of blue whale from the dark
blush gray Of it's upper surface. The
tinge Of yellow on its lower part has
led to the name sulphur bottom" by
which it is known on the western side
Of the Atlantic. 1t is otherwise known
as Sibbald's rorqual (Balenoptera stb-
baldiD.
The chief food Of this gigantic ami
NAL is a small marine crustacean
Thysanopoda inermis), known to the
whales as "kril." Another species of
the same shrimplike group has been
obtained in thousands from the stom-
achs of mackerel caught on the Corn
ish coast. The nearly related opossum
shrimps found in enormous numbers
In the Greenland seas form the chief
food Of the common whale. Some Of
the thysanopodae are phosphorescent
and contribute to the luminosity Of the

Some experiments with ignite coal
briquettes will be made at the state
mining experiment station at Hebron.
These experiments will be watched
with special interest. Ignite bri-
quoting in the state in the past has
been largely carried forward. with the
view to selling stock. A good many
plants have been started and about as
many have proved unsuccessful, and
the shareholders have little to show
for their money but experience. It
seems, specifically, that means Of
making Ignite briquettes should be
discovered that will prove CONNER
cially successful. There is plenty of
carbon and fuel in the coal, and the
thing necessary is to get means Of
removing the moisture and binding
the crushed particles together, the
completed product to be put ON the
market at a fair price. Briquetted
Ignite ought to be. equal to anthra-
cite in fuel value. If, therefore, it
could be completed and put on the
market at less price than anthra-
cite, there ought to be a splendid
market for the fuel. The expert
ments to be made by the state will be
purely in the interest of scientific
discovery, and not with view to
selling stock. It is understood the
latest briquetting machinery will be
used, and the most recent methods
of COMPRISING the coal. If the min
ing experiment station shall discover
a means of briquetting Ignite that
shall give US a practical, moderately
cheap and disable briquette, it will
have repaid the cost of its establish
ment thousand fold.
