The RanseIeys In Autumn.

EAST SUMNEh, Oct. o, Ao'
Much has been said and written re-
qardinp the charms and scenic attrac-
tions Of the Rangsley Lakes region IN
summer, and its praises are sung oy
thousands of delighted visitors, yet few
are really cognizlnt of the fact that the
locality possesses charms in autumn OF
the superlative degree. -.
1t was our pleasure to visit the LOCALITY
recently when Nature had clothed the
towering mountains with the gorgeous
bues of autumn. The scene above Rum
ford Falls as one passes along Is divers'-
fed and constantly changing, reminding
one of views seen in the kaleidoscope
of our buyhood days. 1t was grand
beyond description. The inspired verse
of Longfellow, the sublimity OF
Whittier or the graphic pen Of Thoreau
cannot do it justice. The approach to
Bemis is wild, rough, yet there is sub
| Unity In It that inspires the heart OF one
that delights in Natures diverse charms:
Poets have sung Of the charms OF
Towering mountains" "primevai for-
ests," "babbllng BROOKS" and "siiVery
lax e." and here all can be realized In all
their inspiration. The rich colorings OF
the maple and oak mingled with the
evergreen of the pine and spruce, fur
nisb a picture that artists cannot fully
reproduce. think 1t was Henry Ward
Beecher who exclaimed-"Let artists
stand back when God stretches Ills can
vas"
The approaches to the lakes furnish
the greatest diversity of scenery that
Old Maine with all its charms can pro-
duce. One high mountain on our left as
we approach Bemis is a grand picture.
Its symmet rical sides are covered with
dense growth of maple, birch and OAK
save a rectangular plot of several acres
In the center, which is covered with the
evergreen hues Of the pine and spruce
thus making, as it were, huge green
emerald in setting OF the rich hues Oh
hard wood growth. Man with all his
skill cannot furnish such rare painting
for it ia the work OF the Divine hand.
The twenty-ei miles of railway be-
tween Rumford Falls and Bemis are soon
covered, and after admiring the unique
log station at Bemis with its huge wood
en- door handles made from the roots OF
trees, we pass on to the terminal at
Oquossoc. Here, where we passed over
the carry between the lakes twelve years
ago, with not a clearing or house to be
seen, is now quite little village With
stores and a church. Then, George
Church drove us from Haines Landing
over to Mr.. Bowley's at Mountain View.
Last week the same George" drove Ut
from the station to the lovely Mountain
View House, where we met Mr.. Bowley
and had only time to receive his hearty
hand shake and cheerful greeting before
we had to return for the next train.
On our way over We asked George
how long he had been with Mr.. Bowley
Clerk Plummer of the house, who wat
aboard, replied, "Ever since the war OF
1872" but George added that this was
his twenty-first season. Plummer Is
serving his thirteenth season at this de-
lightful hostelry.
n one wishes to behold the grand and
beautiful in nature, autumn is favor
able time, as the rush of summer visitors
is over and one can better commune with
nature In her happiest moods. Try il
and see.

The three days wind Just ended was
a much harder gale about here at least
than the one in which the City of Port
land was lost several years ago. Possi-
bly, that same boat had encountered AZ
violent winds before, but in that one
some part of the machinery broke which
caused the fatal calamity.
About a dozen men turned out and
harvested the widow OF Pearl Whitman's
potatoes and beans Wednesday, and a
severe time they had of it, especially in
the forenoon; as one man reported it,
1.-The cold and the wind were all We
could endure" However, it did no
damage about here so far as known ex-
cebt to blow down one telephone pole.
The corn crop is now practically har-
vested and fine one it proved to be,
quite unlike that of last year, then only
about oue-half the stalks had corn on
them, while this year nearly every stalk
contained one ear and often two, besides
being filled out to the end. That shows
the difference between a severe drouth
and plenty of rain.
In regard to ears of corn having more
husks on them some seasons than others
thus forecssting what the weather will
be the following winter, We have heard
the idea suggested frequently, but take
no stock in such nonsense. The fact ia
some ears of corn have two or three
times the amount of husks on them as
others, besides being much thicker and
more rigid, and this contrast can even
sometimes be seen in ears on the same
stalk But that any of them ever sug-
gest to US what the next winter will be
-whew?
Were well acquainted with George Os.
good ChicSering all through our young
manhood days, worked with him on the
road, but had no idea we were born the
same year, nor where he made a new
home on leaving Hartford. There were
two children in the family, a daughter,
Rosina, younger than himself, and would
like to know whether she is still living.
Ii is now reported that Charles B.
Brooks wife has become dangerously
insane, making it necessary to watch her
continually. A day or two ago she left
the house where she is stopping and
when found she was in a pasture quite a
distance from home. Last evening she
induced Mrs. Howe to accompany her to
the railroad, on reaching which she
threw herself across the track, saying
she wanted to die and was going 10 that
way. 1t is said that her first husband
persisted on the battleship Maine, and
she has been insane at intervals ever
since.

White Birch Not Decreasing.

The U. S. Department of Agriculture
is authority for the statement that the
paper birch, often called also white
birch, or canoe birch, is one of the few
timber trees iu this country which seem
to be holding their own against Ak and
fire The average citizen, however,
probably takes no particular interest in
the paper birch. Yet it is doubtful If
any other kind of wood on the face of
the earth is found in so many house
holds; for paper birch furnishes
most of the spools Esade in the U nited
States.
Maine is the chief center of spool
manufacture. Its factories turn out
800 million spools yearly, chiefly birch.
Few woods as hard as this can be work
ed with as little duling of the tools; its
principal recommendation lies in that
fact. 1t is handsome in color, and.
after the wood becomes seasoned, 1t
shrinks and warps very little. That is
an important consideration, because the
delicate machinery that winds the thread
would fail to work il the spool changed
its shape to percep,ible degree.
The birch wood for spools must be SO
lected and handled with care. The
trees red disk heartwoOd is objection
able because it will not turn smooth in
the lathe, and the color is not desired
Few industries waste more wood, in
proportion to the quantity used, than
spool making. Heartwood, knots, and
all other defects, frequently amounting
to more than one. half OF the tree, are
rejected. From one-half to three fourths
of the remainder may 60 to the refuse
heap in saving the bars and turning the
spools. Despite this waste the paper
birch does not appear to be threatened
with extinction. II is fire tree-that
is, it spreads rapidly over spaces left
vacant by forest fires. The most exten-
sive paper birch forests of Maine and
New Hampshire occupy tracts which
we're laid bare by the great forest fires
which swept the region from 1925 TO
1887.
The tree is short lived. At an age
when the white cedar, for example, l.
just beginning to lay on useful wood,
the paper birch has passed it's prime and
is ready for decay. 1t is placed at still
further disadvantage by being unable to
compete with other trees for light and
soil 1t prospers when growing alone,
but 1t gives up the fight after strOns er
trees begin to crowd it. Nevertheless,
it is believed that more paper birch is
growing in the United States to-day than
two hundred years ago.

other minor Incidents. The second and

Guiding one or two other smash-ups, a
fire and near-panic on the grand stand,
the lowering of the track record twice In
ono race, and two or three more pugilis-

serious results.
