True love means all that is finest most tender most

Money, in its purchasing capacity is restricted to
the material things of life, those that appeal to the
senses in some way, to service, comfort luxury and
position. Just little way beyond these is clearly
marked deadline that money cannot cross.
Mere money can buy none of the eternal realities

material things that it can buy what it will
Justice the eternal principle of the true relation of
man to man, cannot be bought. Money may buy
judges, but never justice. When they tell us that
great corporation, with millions in its control,
has bought justice in vericts wrongly delivered in
its favor, they are incorrect in their statement.

Lies Greatest Things

THE really greatest things in life being beyond the

all who will pay for them in the consecrated energy
of body, mind, heart, soul. Let seek to escape
the masma Of to-day that has crept the land the
it merely synonym for money making. In the
oden days they used to measure mans money by
weight; now we measure his weight by his money.
in the world IS that of those brave souls who
made hard fight, the battlefield of life for char
acter and won Character is the only real life; every
thing else is either getting ready for it evadng it.
Let regard money in its true light give to it its
just due, and throw shadow of cant it's pos
session. Let realize in all fairness that money is
might-but not almighty.

Decision from the Law Court.

Clerk of Courts Wadlin has received from
the Law Court the following rescrlpt in a
Waldo county case.
Wilson G. Staples, In Equity, VS.. Oliver r.
Bowden.
Rescript, Whitehouse, J. Upon issue of fact
framed for their determination, the jury found
that it was not the intention of the plaintiff
that the conveyance to Orilla Bowden should
be gift to her but that it should be held in
trust by her for the plaintiffs benefit. These
findings of the jury were confirmed by the de
cree of the single justice and the defendant
ordered to convey the property to the plaintiff
The case comes to the law court on appeal from
this decree.
1t is familiar principle in equity that the
beneficial estate attaches to the party from
whom the consideration comes. Hence when
property is purchased and the conveyance of
the legal title is taken in the name of one per
son and the purchase money is paid by another
generally resulting trust will be presumed in
favor of the party who pays the price, and the
holder of the legal title becomes trustee for
him.
In the case at bar it is not in controversy
that the consideration for the property was
paid by the plaintiff out of his own money and
it is not suggested that there was any legal or
moral obligation on his part to make this pay
ment for his sister. The burden is now upon
the defendant to show that the decree OF the
single Justice is clearly erroneous.
After careful examination of all the evi-
dence the court does not feel justified in saying
that the decision of the single justice affirming
the findings of the jury was mantestiy wrong.
The certificate must therefore be
Appeal dismissed.
Decree below affirmed with costs.

MORRILL,.
Miss Adelaide Merriam, the little foar-year-
old daughter of Herman Merriam, had re-
markable escape from drowning February
23d, near her fathers mill. With an older
sister she was sliding down hill a few rods
above the dam, when her sister was thrown
from the sled, which at once turned and went
over the bank into the river. The older sis
work in the mill, as well as others, fastened to
the rescue. He jumped into the river and
shortly saw her floating under the water and
caught her as she neared the sluceway. The
little girl had foated 12O feet under water, 40
feet of the distance under ice which reached
from shore to shore. She came out CRYING
but perfectly conscious, and in a short time
was seemingly as well as ever. She is very
bright little child and says that while she was
travelling under ice and water that she saw
snake and frog. "A very pleasant feature
of the meeting of the Ladies' Aid Society with
Mrs. A. M. Hatch last Tuesday was the pres
entation of a fine mahogany music cabinet to
Mrs. Bertha Mears, who recently became a
bride. The Aid meets afternoon and evening
at the grange hall. March 9th they will fur
nish supper and have sale of fancy articles
with musical and literary program At our
recent town meeting the Aid furnished fine
dinner under the hall, of which our voters par
took, leaving the nice little sum of Sl1 in the
Aid treasury. Miss Florence Cross is visiting
relatives in Quincy, Mass. Miss Phebe Cross

was held last Saturday evening, to rescind the

THE WALDO COUNTY HOSPITAL.
Directors Withdraw their designations and
HARMONY is Restored.


At meeting of the corporators of the Waldo
County General Hospital, held at the court
house, March End, it stated that it had
been found that the directors could not legally
resign in body, but must resign individually,
their places to be filled by the board of direc-
tors until the next annual meeting. 1t was
also stated that the resolve in favor of the
hospital had been held up in the Senate pend
ing the settlement of differences in the drec-
torate. 1t appeared that the directors consid-
cred that article l of the report of the commit
tee of investigation, adopted February 18th,
deprived them of the authority they should
have and the article was amended as relates to
the admission of patients, so that "in any
event the decision of the Board of Directors
shall govern; and by striking out the word
designate" in relation to the advisory boards
duties and substituting the word suggest"
The directors then stated that as all points of
previous legislation of which they could not
approve as directors had been adjusted to the
mutual satisfaction of the physicians, corpora
tors and directors, and as it appeared by the
discussions in this meeting that it was the
unanimous wish of the corporators present
that the present directorate should be con-
tinued, they would withdraw their designations
On motion it directed that DR.. J. E. Cook
be authorized to report to the Senate that the
directors of the Waldo County General Hospi-
tai, after consulting with the corporators in
meeting assembled, and with the advisory
board of physicians and surgeons, withdraw
their designations, and that perfect harmony
prevails between the doctors and directors in
regard to the hospital.
