On exhibition in Hubbard Hall. Bow
doin college, one Of The sledges which
! aided Robert +. Peary on his famous
! dash for the pole is attracting much
attention. This sledge is especially
interesting as ii is enc of those which
actually reached The. pole with Peary.
| lt has been Peary's custom to name his
sledges, and this sledge was appro-
lpriately named General Hubbard, 50
after Gen. Thomas H Hubbard. Bow
dom, 1857. who was president of the
Peary Arctic club at the time of the
trip north. and who is one of Bow
doin's leading alumni. The sledee is
built almost entirely Of oak and looks
capable of standing the hardest knocks
possible in the polar regions although
somewhat battered now. 1t is the So
called "Peary sledge" a model which
was first used on Peary's last trip and
which was especially designed by him
for his polar explorations. 1t is much
longer and of better construction than
the Eskimo sledge, which was former
ly used by Peary. Its length is l.
feet. while the Eskimo sledge was hut
nine feet. The width is the same as
in the old model-two feet: and the
two are also alike In height. the body
Of the sledge being seven inches from
the ground. The sides of the sledge
are built of solid oak, seven inches
wide and an inch and quarter thick.
The wood is rounded al both ends. \
feature distinguishing the Peary sledge
from the old model is a strip of ash,
two inches wide, which is fastened to
the bottom of the side pieces. The
ash runner is covered with steel shoe,
two inches in width. The body of the
sledge is covered over with oak strips
and the whole is bound together with
strong seal skin thongs.
The Duck Pond Improvement Asso-
ciation' at Portland plans for good
fishing in the body Of water, which
supplies its name. as there is in any
place in the western part of the State.
The organization has taken a hand in
stocking the pond and has made other
arrangements whereby the supply of
the fish may always be preserved.
This fall, through the kindness of the
S. d. Warren Co. of Westbrook. the
dam IN Duck pond brook has been en-
tirely rebuilt 50 that it is better than
it has ever heen before. Not only that
bet the gate has been made larger so
that the association has been able TO
install a screen to keep the fish in the
lake. This screen, which weighs zoos
pounds has been declared by those
who have seen it, one of the finest in
Maine. 1t is built in four sections
and set on an angle. In the spring if
any logs are TO be driven. one of the
sections may be hoisted out to permit
the logs TO pass through. During the
past few years salmon and red spot
ted trout have been placed in the
pond. Only this fall. 1000 of these fish
were put in. They We're from six TO
eight inches long and in a year or so
they win be large enough TO catch.

Maine Gossip
To All Men Greetings.

Again the months that make the year
Reacn their allotted goal and here,
In all his wintry panoply
Gay Christmas bids grim sorrow flee.
Happy are they who hear the voice
That bids this dun old world rejoice.
Men are too solemn nowadays;
Each far too busy long the ways
Reputed best for growing rich,
Regardless of the "How'' and which,
You'd better far forget yourself
Choose other goals than place or pelf.
Hold out braVely helping hand,
Ring IN more kindness in the land,
Insist on giving folks a chance.
shake off the bonds OF circumstance,
Take each hour as ii comes. and 50
Make all hours better as they go.
A season such as this should be
Sure preface to felicity
To one and all we voice the wish
OF plenty in the drawer and dish.
And happy hearts, aud minds at ease.
Let discord and discomfort cease;
Let one and all know only peace.
