Old orchard has come to believe that
the big conflagration was an act of
Providence and that the unequalled
beach will shortly arise from the ashes
bigger and grander than ever before in
its history. Plans have already been
made for the erection of a magnificent
100000 hotel on the site of the old
Fiske which persisted in the big fire;
ordinances have been passed prohibit
ing the erection of any ramshacltle
houses on the beach. An ordinance
was also passed shutting out the fakir
element which has done much in past
years to give Old Orchard n bad name
and hereafter they will not be allowed
within the town limits. One thing is
certain, that after years OF sleeping
Old Orchard people are now thorough
ly wide awake, the board of trade is
booming things. and it is confidently
expected that in the near future Old
Orchard will claim the position to
which it is justly entitled of being the
biggest and best summer resort on the
Atlantic coast.

At the time his health failed him the
late George S. Kimball of Bangor was
at work on another book which was
almost ready to go to the publishers.
1t was another one of his stories of the
Maine woods. and shortly before he
was taken to the hospital, Mr.. Kimball
told a friend that it was to be his
masterpiece. The title Of the book on
which he was working was "The Tale
of the Seven Guides of Kineo,' and it
was to have been modelled after
Chaucer's Canterbury Tales In it
he dealt with the early life of the
Indians in Maine, taking the Abenaki
tribes. and intended to show how the
Indians preserved the forests, cOmpar-
and devastation which the white man
is now accused of following in the
great forests Of the country. The pre-
servation of the Maine forests, which
the author knew and loved so well.
was one of the aims of Mr.. kimbalfs
work in writing his charming tales
about them. The fact that death has
left his last book uncompleted. his
masterpiece unfinished, is greatly to be
regretted. His books. Jay Gould
Harmon "Piney Home" and THE
Lackawannas at Moosehead," are We'll
known to all Maine people and to
people all over the country who are
interested in the tales of life and ad-
venture in the great forests of the Pine
Tree state.

Avoiding Bowed Legs

Is that many young mothers are SO IN

soon. before the little. soft bones have
become sufficiently strong 10 bear even
SO light a weight.
OF course, when the baby first shows
an inclination TO stand upon his own
feet. he should be allowed TO do and
should even be provided with a chair
10 keep him from falling. Then the first
LITTLE step must be encouraged, too, and
the child should learn TO the best Of his
ability. but slowly. AL Of this exercise
is natural and should. therefore, not be
checked.
The carelessness that particularly
deplOre is not the innocent play Of a
child who will rest when he is tired. II
is the walks that he is forced TO take
hanging to the hand OF his mother. You
have no idea how much more difficult il
is for people TO walk a long distance on
a stone pavement than one on a wooden
floor. Furthermore. mother walks. per
haps, slowly but steadily. There is no
lettering on the way to rest the aching
little feet Mother is not tired herself
and she therefore forgets that to every
one Of her steps baby must take about
four, and that he will soon be tired. 1t
Is then that the strain comes upon the
legs, and even the bones themselves are
not able to Withstand II
