THE FAT FROM THE FLOWER.

There is not a single kind of animal
food which We might not replace with
a vegetable counterpart. In most
cases il is merely a matter of choice
which is preferable. the animal or the
vegetable. In the matter Of cooking
fats. however. the vegetable has by
far the advantage. Lard is made from
the fat Of hogs,-often impure and
unclean. always indigestible Cotto-
lene comes from the cotton fields Of
the Sunny South. II makes food that
can be digeSted with ease. even by
invalids- Cottolene IS recommended
alike by physicians and noted cooking
experts as much more heaIthfuI and
desirable than lard.

Generosity of Richmond Man.

William H. Stuart, cashier of the
Richmond National bank which is
now winding up its affairs, is the
owner of the Blair cemetery in that
place and has made the lot owners
an offer which Is meeting with in
stant favor and universal commenda-
ton. He proposes that the lot own
ers form an association to which he
will transfer, without cost or fee, his
ownings in the cemetery, the only
proviso being that sufficient sum be
raised to insure the perpetual care of
the cemetery. This amount is al
ready in hand or pledged. All future
sales of lots will be devoted to the
same purposes and owners of new
lots will become mutual sharers in
the association. Mr.. Stuart's gener-
osity is meeting with great praise
from Richmond citizens as we'll as
those directly interested.

Wiscasset Woman's lOlst Birthday.

Lincoln countys oldest person, Mrs.
Betsy Decker, or Aunt Betsy" as she
is familiarly known to hundreds Of
friends, has reached her 101st birth
day She was born in Wiscasset,
daughter of Daniel and Hannah Bak-
er and when 16 years old made her
first and only trip to New York, or In
fact any large city. She married
Joseph Decker at the age of "a and
has spent most of her life upon a
farm. She has never travelled on a
steam or trolley car and although she
remembers distinctly when the old
Knox G. Lincoln railroad was built
through Wiscasset, she did not even
take the pains to go to the station to
see the first train pass through. Mrs.
Decker is now living with her niece,
Mrs. Sam Isenor. She says she
wants to live to be 112, SO she can
equal the age of an old Indian squaw
whom she remembers when she was
a girl.

Rare Stones Found.

While the workmen were blasting
for the sewer pipe that is being laid
on Carnage avenue in Auburn a peg
metite vein was struck that contained
smoky quartz, acquamarine, beryl
and tourmaline. Some of the crys-
tails are very fine and rare. The vein
was struck just off from the steps
leading up to the new residence of
Amos Fitz and extends right across
the lawn of N. B. Lord ON the other
side OF the street. N. B. Tracy Sc
cured one beautiful specimen of
aquamarine, that will cut into gems.
1t is astonishing how this entire
section Of Maine is underlaid with
gem strata and veins says the Port
land Express. OF course this vein on
Gamage avenue cannot be followed
up as 1t is right in the streets and
the heart of the city. Undoubtedly 1t
extends across the big gully and
could easily be found on the Perry
Vile side. To all appearances this
vein is fully as rich in gems as Mount
Apatite.

Observer of Nature.

Asa L. Young of Auburn, Is one of
the closest observers of wild life In
that section. He has closely watched
the habits of birds and animals and
there are but few with which he Ia
not thoroughly familiar. In speak
ing of the autumn flight of birds he
said that the robin Is about the earli-
est to reach Maine, while the king
bird is the last. At this time of year
the birds are all uneasy and are get
ting ready for their southwark fight.
When you see a flock of birds just
scare them up and you will see them
fly in a southern direction. No matter
II the flight is only for few rods it
is always towards the South. They
keep edging that way until they are
ready for the final fight.

They Are Married.

Portland has a newly married cou-
pie who are spending their honey
moon worrying. The cause lies in
the fact that when they applied to
City Clerk Cummings several days
ago they made a false representation
as to the name of the prospective
bride, and also gave the wrong names
of her parents. There can be no
doubt that the couple are legally mar
ried. The law protects the sanctity
of the marriage contract in such a
way that the mere falsifying OF
names cannot vitiate a ceremony per-
formed by a competent magistrate;
but playing fast and loose with such
solemn matter Is discouraged by
the imposition of heavy penalties and
no end of trouble. Mr.. Cummings
has written to State Register Young
at Augusta for instructions.

After Maine Log Hanlers.


Two men from Australia, visiting
In the United States, and spending
August days touring Maine and New
Hampshire, passed through Norway
recently in their automobile on their
way to see one of the steam logging
outfits in operation, which they pro-
pose to take with them to Australia
for numbering operations there. They
said they had heard of the invention
of Waterville man in the far-off
tropics.
The steam logging outfit Is no nov
city to most Maine people, for 1t has
been exhibited at many of the coun-
ty fairs and has had service in the
lumber woods several winters.
The machine Is driyen by 100
horse power equipment. The boiler is
a regular locomotive boiler, fitted up
with the necessary injectors, water
tank and suction hose for taking wa
ter from springs or streams along
the road, also with cabin and wood
box in the rear.
The machine is reversible, the same
as locomotive, and will run one way
as we'll as the other.
The machine will travel about six
miles per hour and haul 10000 feet
OF spruce lumber. Wheels are used
In the summer and runners in the
winter; they have an endless lag bed
which makes the rear runner carry
practically the whole weight of the
machine OF about Is tons. with the
exception of about one ton that bears
on the forward sled.
The runner Ia driven by q pair OF
engines and takes its steam at five
eighths stroke, 30 1t can never get on
dead centre. The runner of the end
less lag bed Is made OF steel cast
ings, joined together In such a way
as to run over the sprocket wheels
with toe calks cast on them the same
as on a horse, 80 when they come in
contact with the snow or ground
there can be no slipping even II they
strike glare ice.
The runner is driven through its
sprocket wheel, which Is constructed
in such a way that the runner can
tilt at any position that the road may
require.
The entire weight of the machine
sets on a five-inch axle running
through the runner and hung loose
at the ends so that the runner al
ways tits easily over rough going
rocks or anything that 1t may come
in contact with, with a remarkably
easy and quiet motion. which 1t Ia
impossible to get from round wheel

Mrs. Fields Invades Home Of
Mrs. Dolan and H0stili-
ties Resulted.
FORMER IS UNDER ARREST
MRS. FIELDS At FIRST HAD BET
TER or BATTLE, BUT MRS. DO
Lam MADE GAME RALLY AND
USED TEETH WELL.

AS the result of a fistic encounter
in which two women of Cambridge
City tried out their pugilistic ability
with direful results to both parties in
volved, Mrs. Jennie Fields was brought
from Cambridge to the Home for the
Friendless yesterday, nursing badly
banged UP head and an injured arm.
The fight occurred between Mrs.
Jennie Fields and Mrs. John Dolan.
but the cause for the controversy is
not clear in the minds of the authorit-
les. According to Prosecutor Laid,
Mrs. Fields went to the home of Mrs.
Dolan in Cambridge City and started
the trouble. After taking few jabs
at the latter and playfully puncturing
various portions of the woman's ana
tony with dinner fork. the tables
were turned and Mrs. Dolan obtained
a strangle hold and half Nelson clutch
on Mrs. Fields which BODIED no good
to the latter. Rules were discarded
and seeing her way clear to bite a
huge chunk out of Mrs. Fieldss arm.
Mrs. Dolan took advantage of the OPP
portunity and got busy with her ivor-
les. From then on Mrs. Fields was
sorry for her visit as her opporent, be-
sides leaving the imprint of her
teeth, had most unpleasant way of
using her victims head as a batter
ing ram against an adjoining wall.
Fortunately neighbors interceded and
stopped the melee
If Mrs. Dolan desires it, an affidavit
will be filed against Mrs Fields, &C
cording to Prosecutor Ladd Mrs
Dolan is freed from all blame. it is
said, and was only defending her
rights, as Mrs. Fields was the aggres-
sor in the encounter.
