FELL FROM SECOND STORY
Frank Nasworthy Has Rib Fractured
and Knee Shattered by Fall
in Birmingham.

Wednesday afternoon Messrs. w.
P. and Millard Nasworthy left for
Birmingham in response to a tele-
gram stating that their brother, Mr..
Frank Nasworthy, had fallen from a
second-story window in that city and
been badly injured.
Mr. w P. Nasworthy returned
home Friday, and reported that
while his brother was seriously hurt
his injuries, unless internal trouble
arises, will not prove fatal One of
his ribs was broken and a knee
bone shattered by the fall.
Mr.. Nasworthy was at his boarding
house when the accident happened.
He was leaning out of a window
talking to fellow-boarder in a room
just above him, when he lost his
balance and fell to the ground. Fort
unately the sidewalk was not paved,
or his injuries would have been more
severe.

over 100000 SPENT IN BUILDING IN
SKOWHEGAN DURING YEAR 1910
One of Most Important Projects---Extensive
Work on Savage Tissue Paper MIL

There has been no tremendous
boom in building In Skowhegan in
the year just past, yet the building
operations have been more than nor
NAL. 1t has been a good year for
building dwelling houses In particu-
lar and there has been marked pro-
gress along industrial building. 1t
can be safely estimated that over
100000 has been spent in building
here in the year 1910. One institu-
ton alone has cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 One block has been complet-
ed that cost at least S25 900.
One of the most important building
projects has been the extensive work
on the E. l.. Savage pulp mill. He
has completely remodeled his build
ing and will soon be ready to begin
the manufacture of tissue paper. This
will add to Skowhegan the only mill
of it's kind in the State. Another
manufacturing place that will mean
much to Skowhegan is the new cas-

also been added a new electric saw
mill which mems a great benefit to
the people living north of the village.
The farmers can bring their lumber
to this place and avoid hills which
would otherwise confront them
The county Jail has been among
the new building additions and a
workshop has been put up at a cost
of $4,000. A new railroad bridge has
been entirely built here in 1910.
Among the Institutions that have I'M
dergone extensive repairs and addl-
tons have been the First Baptist

has been done extensively, a new car

A good report comes in for the
year of 1910 from the herd of high
grade Jerseys, owned by NJ. G Ba-
Ler of East Madison During the
first eight months of the year he fed
six cows, the remainder of the year
five. For the whole year he made
2lf9A pounds Of butter which makes
an average production from each
COW of about 1922 pounds. For the
prices obtained it amounts to $70762,
u an average income from each COW
. about $I24.87 for butter alone
An account was kept of everything
the herd consumed in the way of food
nd reckoning everything at the mar
set price he found that the average
etst Of keeping the herd was about
Sol per COW, making net profit from
'aeh COW of about $6@.S7.

|DON MORRISON WRITES
OF LONDON
Interesting and Characteristic Letter
Received Tells of Various Expert
ences.

Don Morrison is in London, and a
recent letter from him to local
friend is so interesting ard charac-
teristic that we have persuaded the
latter to let US print part of it, as
follows:
First of all let's discuss that uni
versal subject the weather" What do
you think of a country where in De-
cember the official bulletin for the
first twenty-five days recorded two
and one-half hours of sunshine, sixty
five hours of rain mostly driZzling)
and the rest of the time sky just
about like the back Of an unwashed
sheep. The weather is certainly &C
countable for the English expression
nasty as that is the only thing that
anywhere near expresses It, But
after you've decided to be good
friends with the slush and fog, and
the water that leaks down the back
of your neck, you find London to be
truly the greatest town on earth
Everywhere you are conscious of
the iron stamp of Imperialism. The
statues and tablets in the halls of
fame are in memory of the soldier
fighting for king and country. Well
ington and Nelson are the two Grants
of the British hero world, and way
down in the crypt of st. Paul. stood
by the side of their magnificent rest
ing places. while far above rose the
dull roar of the great city they had
served and saved.
1.-The first week after arriving /
attended a concert in Queens hall
and imagine my surprise and pleas
ure when the orchestra broke into
the strains of MY Country 'Tis of
Thee" l Immediately got on my feet
like a true son of the Pine Tree
State and began to applaud, much to
the satisfaction of my neighbors-
About a week later | had the sad
news broken to me that My Country
etc is sung to the English tune of
God Save the King.
However you will see that London
is not guileless in the way of Dor
rowing music, and I'll name few
of the $50 called new popular songs
that are most heard just now: Down
in Jungle Town School Days Che
colate Soldier etc.
Here is also a non-eXpurgated ex-
perience that will certainly interest
my bosom friends | attended a
boxing exhibition at Hugh MacIn-
tosh's new Olympia arena, in which
one named Bill Lang did things to a
relative of the late Bobbie Burns. But
the exhibition between Lang and
Burns was merely a little side show.
| The big show was one named James
Edward Britt, who made remarks and
held the lime light. While he was
faultlessly dressed in his English
clothes, there was no Disgusting the
Jimmy Britt of old. He is immense
| ly popular here in London, is MacIn-
! tosh's right hand man of affairs, and
the crowd certainly would not be-
lieve they had their moneys worth
without the Great American jolly.
1T would hardly do to leap from
the prize ring into the sanctity of
Westminster, so possibly some other
time. In the meanwhile, A Happy
| New Year
Yours,
