SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
Wednesdays Session Was Brief-Im
portant Cases Assigned for Today.

The kennebec county supreme jul
dicial court opened its Wednesday
session at $50 A. NJ, Associate Justice
William =. Whitehouse presiding, but
as there was no business assigned
recess was declared until $50 Thurs
day morning. This is due to the
fact that the two assigned cases for
Wednesday We're disposed of before
session. the case of Dutton VS.. West
was settled outside of court to the
satisfaction of both parties and the
other case Of Towne vs.. Goodrich, was
defaulted.
Although there are only two assign
ed cases for today's session, they are
likely to prove interesting ones as
many points of law are involved and
they are scheduled among the most
important ones ON the assigned list.

A SNAKE STORY.
The Wonderful Old-Time SERPENT
That Talked Like a Man.

The Wonderful OId-Time Serpent
That Talked Like a Man.
In John Ashton's Curious Great
ures of Zoology there is a quotation
from "a little Latino booke printed
at Vienna in the yeare 1851" which
tells most wonderful story. Ash
ton quotes as follows: There was
found in move or rycke of corn al
most as many snakes, adders and 9TH
er serpents as there was sheafs, so
as no one sheaf could be removed
but there presently appeared heape
Of ougly and fierce serpentes. The
countrie men determyned to set fire
upon the barne, and so attempted to
do, but in vaine, for the straw would
take no fire, although they labored
with all their Wits and policye to
burn them up
AT last there appeared unto them
at the top of the heap a huge great
serpente, which lifted up his head
and spake with mans voyce to the
countrie men, saying: Cease to
prosecute your devise, for you shall
not be able to accomplish our burn
ing, for wee were not bredde by ma
ture, neither came we here of our
owne accord, but were sent by God
to take vengence on the shines Of
men. ,"
Ashton leaves us in the dark as to
what the "countrie" men did, but it
is natural to suppose that they sur
rendered at once.

Missourian Is Waiting For a Demo-

tied Barber Since 1896.

MACON, Mo.-Thomas B. Robert
son of this town expects to get a
haircut and a shave in 1912. He
hasn't visited the barber since 1896,
when he made a solemn and public
VOW never to permit shears or razor
to touch his head until a democrat
was elected president of the United
States. Robertson was one of the
original Bryan men, but he has al
most abandoned hope of seeing his
hero in the white house.
BILLY Bryan of Nebraska is the
smartest man who ever ran for the
presidency" said Mr.. Robertson, "but
don't believe we can elect him, not
this time, and we must put up a man
we can elect. In 1896 when l took
the oath l was sure Bryan would be
elected, just as l have been every
time since, but now l got another
guess coming, and it seems it must be
somebody else. Oh, yes, I'll give the
barber a job, whether it's Bryan or
not. If we elect any man that lets
me out, but l wish it could be Billy
Bryan"
Mr. Robertson is 70 years old, and
he says he expects to live to vote at
several more presidential elections.

Paris and Berlin and the other con-
tinental cities now wears one of more
skunk skins on at least one of her
dresses as trimming around the bot

started the demand. Two years ago
the price of skunk skins suddenly
jumped from 80 cents to 81, and it is

Isaac Finkelstein knew nothing

the concrete and steel walls of the
bank vaults, no adequate idea of the
elaborate precautions constantly on

him, no revolver for the ever possible

And the dream collapsed. That is all

if it were not so pitiful.

A Baltimore dog wears a diamond

There are several institutions in

they are to wholly fulfill their func-

deaf, the Tech and other institutions
are now crowded to overlooking. with
many applicants on the waiting list
who cannot be accommodated until

have any hopes at this session is now
questionable. They may, however,
get half a loaf.

just been turned over to the legis-

annexation, but whether the legis-
lature will consent to the expenditure
OF $4,000 or more necessary to make
all the annotations is a matter that is
in serious doubt.

FROST is CHARGED TO COMET.
Historian Says We Will Have Some
Winter All Summer.


John P. Arthur of Asheville, N. c.,
historian and student, after an inves-
tigation of the weather conditions of
1885, and comparing them with those
of this year, says:
Frost will occur every month of
the year in which Halley's comet
makes it's appearance. In 1885 there
was frost every month, and there has
been frost every month of this year.
In 1885 the crops, due to cold wealth
err, were a total failure, and starva-
ton of the inhabitants was prevent
ed only by heroic efforts in hauling
from Charleston, S. c., enough food
ssuffs to tide them over. Halley's
comet is undoubtedly the cause of the
extremely unreasonable weather this

AS we have been predicting, the boycott of
beef has not reduced the price to an extent
worth mentioning.
At jersey City, where one of the several
investigations of the Beef Trust is going on,
it was shown to the Grand Jury that the Beef
Trust makes practice of keeping meat IN It's
refrigerator cars at the big terminals for
weeks at time for the purpose OF boosting
prices
Each of these cars is a small cold-storage
plant in itself, and all the Trust has to do to
keep the meat in goor order is to keep the car
well iced Ice is cheap and the trackage that
the Trust has to pay on It's own cars amounts
to very little
In BROOKLYN, New York, one day this week,
SIX carloads of meat were sold that had been
standing on the track for one week. When
this meat arrived at it's destination, the
Trusts agents refused to open the cars. The
retail meat dealers begged for the meat at
the market price, but the Trust agent refused
to SELL After starving out the retail dealers
for week the Trust raised the price of the
beef one cent per pound, pork one cent per
NH DOnnO
The dealers either had to have the meat at
that price or 90 without and they paid the
increased price for it.
In these six cars there were 100000 pounds
of meat, and the Trust made an average
profit of one and one-half cent per pound,
or $4,000.
When the Beef Trust is able to treat the
people this way in big city where the boy
colt is the strongest, isn't it plain enough that
it is useless to try to whip them out by boy
cotting meat?
How are you going to remove the condition
without removing the cause?
Repeal the tariff and you will see the prices
of meat drop, for then the Canadian and
Mexican steer will be able to compete with
the Beef Trust steer.
The farmers of Ohio, Iowa and some of the
other Western States seem to be waking up
to the fact that their farmers independent
telephone lines have about slipped from their
ownership into Morgan's hands.
