Sierra Leobe-kn5H L. !.tlHe as the
white mans graYe"--viewed from the
deck Of an incoming steamer presents
an appearance distinctly attractive. As
to climate. the sobriquet white mans
grave" is sufficiently instructive. Snf-
fee it to say that the first Of the daily
reglmcntal orders ran thus: Funeral
parade at G 80 a. N. tomorrow" and 1t
was seldom indeed that the parade
was dismissed for lack of victim to
the pestiferous climatic conditions.
Indeed. so arduous became the duties
Of sepulcher that, whereas II was Gus
tomary In the beginning for the entire
regiment and band TO attend, only the
rompany of the deceased and the firing
party did SO later on. Sierra Leone IS
infested with snakes, large and small.
The former are of the constructor spe-
cies; the latter are all extremely ven
omous The most deadly Of all per-
haps is the yellow jack beautiful
yellow and black reptile, whose bite Is
reputed to prove fatal within space
of twenty minutes. -Westchester Coun.

The State Legislature.

Strange to say, it remained for a
member of the delegation from Ken
nebec county to be the only gentle
man on the floor of the House TO OPP
pose the appropriation for enlarging
the State House. Mr.. Pattangall of
Waterville did his best to accomplish
the defeat of the measure, but met
his Waterloo. His motion to indie
tinitely postpone was defeated, 81 to
55. and the resolve passed to be en-
crossed. In the Senate, assigned to
Wednesday, when it will also pass
Greatly to the regret of many per-
sons, who have expressed kindly in
terest with Mr.. Donigan in his labors,
the Donigan bridge bill was killed in
the Senate, by vote of 18 to IL, by
the acceptance of the minority re-
port, which was laid on the table for
consideration to-day Thursday.
The minority bill allows counties to
have charge of bridges, instead of the
State. Senator Howes of Somerset
spoke against the Donigan bill
At the urgent request of the Gov
ernor, some of the resolves appropri-
ating money have been cut down, the
aggregate whiting being about
100000.
Ex Cleaves, Forrest Goodwin
and others made able arguments the
other day before the Railroad COM
mittee on the policy of the State re-
lating to its railroads, more specially
to the Somerset Railway Company
The State, 1t is argued, had no right
to compel this company to use its
property for the public without just
compensation.

brook and Keay pond and tributaries

An Act to regulate fishing in Dead

servation of forests, is before the
for hearing.

The State Legislature .

The members of the House refused
to be swayed by Mr.. Pattangall's elo-
quent persuasions, and declined to
cut in two the S47, 800 appropriation
for fish and game.
Apportioning the State tax on the
basis of land values exclusively-as
recommended by majority of the
tax commission-will not pass the
Legislature. There is doubt about
such an act being constitutional, any
way.
The Senate followed the example of
the House in turning down the bill
proposing the election of the Attor-
ney General, the State Treasurer, and
the Secretary of State by the people,
instead of by the Legislature,
The committee on the Judiciary
has voted unanimously in favor of the
bill to retire Justices of the Supreme
and Superior Courts when they at
tanned the age of 20. The retiring
members to receive half pay, if they
have served for ten years.
Committee on feeble minded re-
ported ought to pass in new draft on
resolve reporting 100000 annually
for the next two years to provide for
power plant, construction of new
buildings, construction of new sewers,
water supply, running expenses, sal
aries and wages at the Maine school
for the feeble minded. The resolve
further provides that any of the APP
preparation for the year 1909 remain
ing unexpended at the end of the
year may be available for the year
1910.
Two reports were received from
the judiciary committee on the bill to
repeal the Sturgis law. The majority
report would give the governor power
to remove sheriffs, with the rider
that il the people accept the amend
ment to the constit ution the Sturgis
law will be repealed. The minority
report is for the repeal of the Sturgis
law.

That the methods Of public school
instruction as applied in one city at
least do not always meet the approba-
ton of the parents Of the pupils was
evidenced when German man whose
bristly blond hair was standing per

Baltimore school one day and, ap-
preaching the principal, demanded.
"Vot is 1t. lobster|
The principal explained in bis SuaY-
est tone that a lobster was a species
of shellfish.
"How many legs has it-der lob

The number of legs was promptly
stated.

Skowhegan Grange.

The first and second degrees were
conferred by Skowhegan Grange last
evening, following which the warrant
for next Mondays town meeting was
taken up and discussed. The time
consumed for degree work left less
to be devoted to the program than
could have been wished and only a
comp aritively few of the SO articles in
the warrant were entered upon.
Those which received attention were
that in relation to highways, on which
the principal speaker was w. 3. Whit
tier, and the question of water supply
including the proposition to provide
spring water from aqueducts or
springs for the larger school build
ings.
The Somerset reporter., 1909-03-04

During a great food at Hadarabad
native banker. oyertaken by the sud
den rush of water, made his way on
to a mound. where he was quickly iso.
lated The water rose, and the bank
er's legs were covered to his knees.
Fifty rupees about fS Isl, SO rupees,
he shouted, ito any one who will save
me- When the water reached his
shoulder he was shouting, Zone thou
sand rupees' When envsloped to his
neck. with death staring him In the
face, he yelled: Help. help! All that
have will l give to any one to save
mer Shortly after the water began
to recede. When once more he was
covered only to his knees an offer Of
rescue came. But the banker. pluck
ing up his courage, cried: Keep off!
Keep off! l will not give rupee"
and succeeded In making his escape
free Of charge.-St. James Gazette.
