POLLY TO GET A TABLET.
Little Two-Masted Schooner Earned it in
War of 1912.
New York Tribune, November 2nd]

New York Tribune, November 2nd.]
Beating her way up the Hudson river
against a stiff tide and buffeting wind,
yesterday morning, trim little two
masted schooner valiantly nosed her way
through the water until she reached a
point opposite the foot of 50th street.
Here she poked her bow into the face of
the wind, tapped her sails like a gull
about to alight, and tied up to pier.
AS soon as she had come to a stop a
scene of activity became apparent on
her decks. Men ran to and fro, carrying
buckets of water and blocks of holy
stone. The pieces of brasswork at her
ratings and at the entrance to the tiny
cabin were FURNISHED until they reflected
the rays of the early sun in binding
fashion. In few minutes her sails were
furled, her decks made to CLEAN with
cleanliness and her outer works received
thorough scrubbing..
She was now indeed picture to delight
a sailors eye. To add touch of CO.
quetry myriad flags and bits of bunting
were run to her masthead and along her

Dangerous Rocksf and Shoals.
90 BAexAcAe K'pNEvs A~ ,

A dangerous shoal and some very dan
gerous rocks have been discovered on
the Maine coast according to the weekly
publication of Notice to Mariners"
issued by the Bureau of Lighthouses
on the coast and Geodetic Survey.
The shoal that has just been accurate
ly located two-ffths of a mile, POP de-
grees true from Kimball's rocks on the
eastern side of Isle au Haut bay. This
is a particularly dangerous spot. The
least depth found to date is Is feet at
mean low water and the greatest depth
is about 1856 yards between the six-fath-
ON curve, in an E. N. E. and w. S. w.
with the shoalest part near the eastern
end, and a depth of % feet near it's west
ern end.
The rocks that have been reported are
in Deer Island thoroughfare, Penobscot
bay. An examination of the bar between
Crotch and Moose Island shows an aver
age depth in the channel of 10 to Is feet.
There were found several powders or
small pinnacles-t three with depth over
eight to ten feet close to the northern
edge of the buoyed channel and three
with depth over them Of from nine to
ten feet within the channel and along the
usual course of vessels. Craft of nine
feet and greater are cautioned against
using this channel at a low stage Of tide.

Of the fighter about the little boat.
This small schooner which slipped SO
quietly beneath the frowning walls Of the
Palisades was formerly famous ship of
war. Only sixty feet in length from the
curve Of her graceful stern to the stubby
nose of her belligerent bow, the Polly
was great factor in the war of 1872.
Her decks once ran with the blood of
martyrs, and eleven British ships were
forced to lower their colors to the little
fighting Yankee.
The Polly is said to be the oldest vessel
afioat Of American registry, and before
the first gun had been fired in the war of
1872 she pointed out to sea, where she
made herself terror to all British ship
ping. After the close of the war the
Polly dotted her privateer garb for the
more peaceful accoutrements of mer-
chairman, and as such made six trips
around Cape Horn. the first journey in
1919. She also circled the globe on two
occasions.
The Polly is now commanded by Cap
tain j. H. Weldon, and is used in the
coastWise trade, running to various ports,
with Boston as her home port. Although
she was built in 1905, the boat is still as

Another Libel on the Golden Rod.

Last Thursday in the United States
court at Portland, as sequel to the case
in which Fields S. Pendleton filed libel
against the Eastern Bay Steamship Co.,
owners Of steamer Golden Rod, for wharf
age amounting to over $1,000, hearing
was started before Judge Hale on libel
filed by the Islesboro, Castine & Belfast
Steamboat Co. against the Golden Rod.
1t is brought by Winfield S. Pendleton in
the sum Of $3.50 for wharfage at Brooks
vile.
As in the Islesboro case the defend
ants made denial of all the plaintiff 3
charges. They claim that Charles F..
Tapley of Brooksville was paid at the
rate of SIS per month for the use of the
wharf, and that he and not the plaintiff
company was the owner.
The plaintiffs claim that by permission
Of the selectmen, and by agreement with
Tapley, they built wharf and were
given exclusive use of it. and that the
rate of $50 per month was the amount
the defendant company was to pay.

From the Law Court.

The Law Court, November End, handed
down a decision in the Waldo county
case of Augusta C. Mather ct al, appel
lants from the decree of the judge of
probate of Waldo county, in which the ex-
ceptions of the appellants are over-ruled.
Their case arises from an appeal to the
supreme judicial court from the appoint
ment of Albert w. Cunningham as ad-
ministrator Of the estate Of Henry H.
Cunningham, late of Shanghai. The ap-
pellate court made no decree respecting
costs and the law court disposed of the
case without allowing costs to either
party. The appellants claimed that the
question of costs could not be passed
upon by the law court in the case as re-
ported. and filed a decree at the April
term, 1900, for the allowance of one bill
Of costs for the appellants. The rescript
just received, which was drawn by Asso-
ciate Justice Albert M. Spear of Gardi-
ner, holds that the certificate of decision
in the original case is final and conclusive
in all questions of law and fact, including
that of costs.

God Will Sprinkle Sunshine.

If you should see a fellow man with trouble
flag unfurled,
An looking like he didn't have friend in all
the world,
Go up and slap him on the back and holer,
"How d'you do?"
An grasp his hand SO warm he'll know he has
friend in you,
Then ak him what's a-hurtin him, an laugh
his cares away,
An tell him that the darkest night is just be-
fore the day.
Don't talk graveyard palaver, but say it right
out loud.
That God will sprinkle sunshine in the trail of
every cloud
This world at best is but dash of pleasure
and of pain,
Some days are bright and sunny, an some are
slushed with rain,
An that's just how it ought to be, for when
the clouds roll by
Well just know how to 'preciate the bright
and smiling sky
So learn to take it as it comes, an don't sweat
at the pores.
Because the Lords opinion don't coincide with
yours;
But always keep rememberin'. when cares
your path enshroud
That God has lots of sunshine to spill behind
the cloud.

TO RAISE TROUT.
Ex-Gov. Hill Builds Large Plant at Sid
new to Hatch 25O,OOO Eggs

Ex-Gov. John F. Hill of Augusta has
been making many changes in The Mau-
rice Leighton farm on the Burns road in
Sidney, preparatory to the establishment
of trout hatchery similar to some in
southern Massachusetts and Rhode
Island. There is a brook we'll adapted
for the purpose running through the
farm.
A dam has been constructed which
makes possible the flooding of the basin
for 1900 feet back and gives pond of
an average depth of eight feet. The
dam is of concrete core with earth en-
bankments 80 feet high and 10 feet wide
at the top. 1t will be several days be-
fore it is fully flooded. Plans are being
made to take care of 200, 900 fish.
The hatchery itself and group of build
ings are some distance north of the dam
and include an ice house and meat room
and also food supply building as well as
a coal and wood shed. The hatchery
building is {two-story structure. 1t is
equipped with Sc Matching troughs and
the water is taken in by pipes through
the north end of the building.
The size of the fish will be considered
rather than the number and it is hoped to
produce trout that will mature earlier
and be of larger size than those ordinari-
ly raised.
The hatchery will be in charge of H.
w. Greeley of Winthrop, an expert in
trout culture who has been for some time
in charge of large hatchery. The
second floor of the hatchery building will
be occupied by Mr.. Greeley as living
quarters.
About $50, 600 trout eggs will be hatch
ed this winter. Some $50 feet above the
hatchery another dam has been built
across the main arm Of the brook. Here
pipe has been laid to furnish supply
of water for the hatchery. Workmen
have just built below the hatchery two
pools so feet long by seven or eight wide
for holding the fish, so the. hatchery will
not become crowded. Three more pools
are in process of construction above the
hatchery.
A half mile of road has been built up
the valley of the brook, connecting the
main dam with the fish hatchery. Much
cutting and filling was necessary in con-
nection with this project. From IA to 40
men have been employed in transform
ing the farm, which is far from being
completed. The operations will be con-
tinued until snow comes.
The temperature of the brook varies
but little throughout the year and its
volume is approximately a million and a
half gallons in "a hours. 6
One of the reasons that induced Ex-
Gov. Hill to take up the development of
the farm was the belief that an out-of-
door life would be of great benefit to his
health.
The farm grounds will be laid out in an
attractive style and number of artificial
pools will be constructed.

An English Author Wrote :

"No shade, no shine, no fruit, no flowers, no
leaves-November!' Many Americans would
add no freedom from catarrh, which is so ag-
gravated during this month that it becomes
constantly troublesome. There is abundant
proof that catarrh is constitutional disease.
It is related to scrofula and consumption being
one of the wasting diseases Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla has shown that what is capable Of eradi-
eating scrofula, completely cures catarrh, and
taken in time prevents consumption. We cam
not see how any sufferer can put off taking
this medicine, in view Of the widely published
record of its radical and permanent cures It
is undoubtedly Americas Greatest Medicine
for Americas Greatest Disease Catarrh.
