Pardon Granted Maurice r. Foss.
MRS. PorvIN's PETITION AT SAME
TINE REFUSED.

OF six pardon cases heard by the
governor and council at their meeting
last Tuesday, three were of interest to
this county. Maurice r. Fogg of East
Sumner, now serving sentence OF -four
months in jail in addition to fine OF
300 for liquor nuisance, was pardoned.
In the case OF Mrs. GeOrgianna Potvin
of Rumford, serving six months SEN
tence for nuisance, petitioners were
given leave to withdraw.
Frederick R. Dyer of Buckfield ap
peared as counsel for Fogg at the hear
ing, arguing that there was no evidence
that Fogg had sold liquor, and that the
sentence was the heaviest ever imposed
N this county for a first offence under
the nuisance law. Considerable evil
fence was introduced as to Fogg's
general good character and standing IN
the community, and numerous petitions
for his pardon, including one signed by
about four-ffths of the voters of Sumner.
County Attorney Ralph T. Parker ap-
pcared in opposition to the pardon, Cit
ing the evidence in the case, and arguing
against asking the governor and council
to act as court of review in cases where
the respondent considered the sentence
excessive.
Fogg was granted pardon to take
effect Dec. 20, when two months OF bis
sentence will be completed.
In the case of Mrs. Potvin, the petit
TONER was represented by Matthew
Mccarthy, Esq of Rumford. He stated
that the case was an old one, continued
during good behavior, which was
brought forward by the county attorney
at the October term of court. He read q
statement from a Rumford police officer
to the effect that Mrs. Potvin had not
recently been engaged in the liquor bust
ness, also kilograms from physicians
stating that her physical condition was
such that further Imprisonment would
endanger her life. She had already
served forty days.
The pardon was opposed BY County
Attorney Parker, who stated that the
woman was persistent offender, who
had nine liquor convictions against her
since 1908. In executive session the Pc
iitioner was given leave to withdraw.
Lee K. A. Fowney, sentenced to twelve
years in state prison from Franklin
County for robbery under the name of
Leroy A. French, was granted pardon.
This case is of interest in Oxford County,
as the transaction took place on the
border of the county, in rather Sensa-
tional manner, aud the man who was
held up was w. G. Harlow of Dixfield.
The man has for some time been in the
insane department of the prison, and it
was stated by DR.. Miller Of the state in
sane hospital that he is suffering from
an incurable mental disease. He is resi-
dent of another state, aud it is under
stood that his family have means and
will care for him.
Petitioners were given leave to with
draw in the case of Daniel Patrick
Murphy of Mars Hill, serving life sem
tence for killing his father with an AK in
1900. The cases of Clara Emma Getchell
of Sidney. serving life sentence for the
murder of her husband, and of Stephen
j. Flaherty of Portland, sentenced to five
years for manslaughter in 1909, we're
tabled until the next session of the
council.

Mothers!
Give the teacher her duel
For her heart IL true-blue,
And with more than undergraduates
She labors for you.
She has more than her share
OF dull, nerve-racking care;
Let all mothers appreciate,
And help her to bear.
Think of her evening hours
The waste Of vital pow'ra,
While those long rows Of rank cards
Her attention devours.
Think Of the anxious night
On what Il due to right,
When some trouble In school makes

Put your arms around her,

And fortify her soul 'gainst the
Trials that wound her.

May good angels guard her life-path

of Minnesota aud not narrow,
hide-bound sectionalist. If the
Democrats must have someone to

Fourteen Mistakes

A prominent speaker has given
fourteen mistakes of life which are
as follows:
To attempt to set up Our own
standard of right and wrong and
expect everybody to conform to it.
To try to measure the enjoyment
of others by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion
in this world. " - s
To look for judgement and exper-
fence in youth.
To endeavor to mold all disposi-
tons alike.
Not to yield in unimportant trifles.
To look for perfection in Our
own actions.
To worry ourselves and those
about us with what cannot be
remedied.
Not to alleviate if we can all that
needs alienation.
Not to make allowances for the
weaknesses of others.
To consider a thing impossible
that we ourselves perform.
To believe only what Our finite
minds can grasp.
So live as if the moment, the
time, the day were so important
that it would live for ever.
To estimate people by some out
side quality, for it is that within
which makes the man.

Geo. A. st. Clair

The Mining Stock News of Du-
1uth in the last issue says the
following:
After all these long years, be-
strewn with first, legal battles, and
more lately with attempts at mining
the notorious Section 80 mine at
Ely has been brought into subsection
and compelled to yield up its hidden
wealth, and the man who has
accomplished this is George A.
St. Clair.
The history of this property is too
well known to need repetition.
Its earliest history was submerged
by cloud of perjury and fraud and
before thes Interior Department
yield tardy recognition of the
rights of the fee-holders as against
the array of claimants, over three
quarters of a million of dollars had
been expended and score of men
had seriously imperilled their
chances of successfully passing
St. Peter.
But Mr.. George A. St. Clair
had nothing to do with all this.
He is miner and a good one at
that. He has proved this, again
and again, both in Michigan and
in some almost hopeless looking
propositions on the Mesaba range.
Mr.. St. Clair wins out because he
goes mining. He goes into the
game to win, and by the exercise
of ability, industry and integrity
he comes out winner. He took
