This Is accepted by the real estate sharps
as natural for the reason that May Is the
month Of fitting and for those who have
the desire and the accompanying amount
Of currency necessary to pay for projected
fittings. May is distinctly the one best
month Of the year for this class Of realty
movements.
The biggest realty item OF the past
week was the recording Of the 800 900
mortgage upon the properties Of the
Washington National Baseball Club. In
this transaction q deed Of trust to secure
a bond issue was placed on the group of
city lots comprising American League
Park. In all there are s2s of these lots
to be covered by the big blanket mort
gage.
It was this loan which 30 swelled the
loan account. The total figures for the
week were 1886, 1858.

HIS FAvORITE AMONG HIS OWN
POEMS.

In the current number of the Christian En-.
deavor World in list of forty-eight poems bv
as many authors-each the authors favorite
among his own works. Col. Thomas Wentworth
Higginson presents the following verses, pre-
pared for Grand Army Post in Cambridge on
May rs, 1888, as his favorite. And this was
probably the last expression of a choice that
he ever made:
WAITING FOR THE BUGLE
We wait for the bugle; the night dews are cold.
The limbs Of the soldiers feel jaded and old.
The field OF our bivouac is windy and bare,
There is lead in our joints, there is frost in our
hair,
The future is yelled and its fortunes unknown
As we lie with hushed breath till the buele in
At the sound of that bugle each comrade shall
Like an arrow released from the strain of the
string;
The courage. the impulse of youth shall come
back
To Danish the chill of the drear bivouac,
And sorrows and losses and cares fade away
When that life-giving signal proclaims the new
day.
Though the bivouac of age may put ice in our
veins,
And no fibre of steel in our sinew remains;
Though the comrades of yesterdays march are
not here,
And the sunlight seems pale and the branches
Though the sound of our cheering dies down to
moan,
We shall find our lost youth when the bugle is
blown.
[Bugle then to be blown.]

A BOY SCOUT SHIP,

A. A. Carey of Waltham, Mass, who
bought Gloucester fishing smack for
the Boy Scouts, has remodeled it into
scout ship named the Pioneer, with
cabin amidships and 10 folding canvas
berths, of which IS will be occupied by
the boys and the other by the scout mas
ter, Stanley Cady.
When at anchor in suitable places the
boys will have boat practice and boat
games, with swimming and diving. While
at sea they will be divided into watches
and taught as much practical sailing and
navigation as possible. During July and
August there will be four cruises of near
| ly two weeks each, and the cost will be
about equal to that of a summer camp.
Mr.. Carey is hopeful that other men
interested in the Boy Scout work will
take up sea scouting. He is ambitious
to have fleet of scout ships along the
Atlantic coast and another along the Pa
| cifc coast.
Mr.. Carey looks upon sea scouting as
OF Importance to Americans, and believes
that if American boys can be aroused to
an interest in the sea there will be
greater chance for the development of
our merchant marine. Aside from that
phase, however, he thinks that his scout
ShP, Cdleu IHe TloHeeI, Will PROVIDE
plenty of fun and helpful training for
the boys.
Speaking of his ship Mr.. Carey says:
Her cabin amidships will contain 10
folding canvas berths, Of which 18 are
to be occupied by boys and one by their
scout master, Mr.. Stanley Cady. There
will, be three small patrols of six boys
each, so that a single patrol will man one
of the two boats, which will be slung on
the davits over the side.

FREEDOM ACADEMY.

A Time-Honored Educational Institution
The FreedomAcademy catalogue for the
year 1911-1912 is now out. 1t was estab-
! lished in $780, The Academy building
was thoroughly renovated in 1898, largely
through the instrumentality of Dr. and
Mrs. A. billings. In 1908 girls dormi-
tory was built and opened for occupancy.
Freedom Academy is a member of the
New England Entrance Board of approved
schools.
The purpose of Freedom Academy is to
furnish those pupils who have satisfac-
| torily completed the studies prescribed
for the grammar schools with opportuni-
ties to pursue a thorough course of ad-
! vanced study. The enumerating subjects
are offered with the idea of combining
/ mental discipline and culture with the
acquisition of a useful body of informa-
ton. The course Of study includes all
subjects as required by the colleges.
One of the chief advantages of Free
dom Academy is it's location 1t is gen.
| orally conceded that the small town is
the place for a private school, Its loca-
ton cannot easily be surpassed-a coun-
try village where all the citizens are
united in the purpose of maintaining a
! community free from conditions banefu
! to the school,
Freedom Academy is the only school of
the kind in Waldo county, and it is CEN
trally located in the group of towns that
compose the county. Freedom village is
| sixteen miles from Belfast and four from
| Thorndike Station on the NJ c. r. R. 1t
| is connected by various stage routes with
surrounding towns.
| Three courses of study are offered.
The College Preparatory is designed to
afford a complete and maximum prepara-
| ton for any classical college as candidate
for either the A. B. or B. S. degree.
| The English course is a practical and
comprehensive course, particularly adap-
! ted to those who do not contemplate en-
/ tering higher institution of learning,
but desire a good preparation for life.
By electing such branches as Business
Methods, Commercial Law, Book Keep
ing and Commercial Arithmetic the stu
dent receives thorough training in the
principles of business.
This course is also intended to fit stu
dents for the University of Maine and
other technical schools.
i The Normal course This course is
conducted by a normal school graduate,
who not only gives instructions in meth
DDS and pedagogy, but also demonstrates
in the teaching of other branches how
the latter should be taught. The pupil
+ is given practice in the town school which
is attached to the Academy.
In order to enter upon the work of the
prescribed course, the applying candidate
must pass an examination in arithmetic,
English grammar, geography, U. S. his
tory, elementary physiology, reading and
spelling.
If certificate from superintendent
is presented, stating that the applicant
has been examined in the above mention
ed studies and is qualified to pursue a
course in a standard grade secondary
] school, no other examination is required.

THE BOY SCOUT MANUAL.

The hundreds of thousands of Bow
Scouts throughout the country will be
greatly pleased to learn that the new
Manual of the Boy Scouts of America will
come from the press on June LIST, and that
at the same time the new badges also will
be ready. The Editorial Board, of which
Mr.. W. D. Murray is chairman, an
nounces that all the chapters have been
completed and will go to the printer
within few days.
The Manual covers almost every ac-
tivity of interest to the active, growing
boy. 1t treats of life in the woods,
games, chivalry, citizenship, life-saving
and first aid to the injured and tends to
make the boy healthful, alert and whole
some. 1t will be of unusual interest to
the boys. While the old Manual was
written chiefly by one or two men and
largely adapted from the Manual prepar-
ed by Sir General Robert BadenP Powell,
the originator of the Boy Scout Move
ment, the American Manual has been
prepared by many men, every one of
whom is an expert in his special line.
Among the interesting features of the
new Manual will be subjects which never
before have been treated in a manner
suitable for boys. Ten or twelve of the
ablest government experts in Washing
ton have prepared this material. They
have spent much time in writing these
articles because of their interest in the
Scout movement and because the sub
jects on which they write have not been
placed before the boys hitherto in
popular vein.
For instance, there will be articles on
insects and shells, never before treated
in of To
In the same style, experts in the Geologi-
cal Survey, the Smithsonian Institution
and Department of Agriculture, and
various other bureaus in Washington
have written articles. Such subjects as
fish, birds. rocks, flowers, butterflies and
the art of angling will be discussed
thoroughly.
The new Manual is arranged in nine
chapters. The first chapter, by John L.
Alexander, expert in boys work, treats,
in new manner. of "Scoutcraft and
How to Become Boy Scout" Wood
craft, by Ernest Thompson Seton, men,
Der of the National Audubon Society and
Government Experts, is Chapter No. 2.

craft and Outdoor Life" by H. W. Glib

chusetts, and Arthur A. Carey, of Cam

REGARDS INSECURE
AS A MIRACLE
This Illinois Man Had Stomach
Trouble and Was Becoming
ParaIyzed.

Mr.. J. F. Bennington, OF Dallas City,
H., regards his cure by DR.: Williams
Pink Pills as a miracle. He is well
known both at Stronghurst, H., where
he formerly resided and at La Harpe.
For years he has been recommending
the pills that cured him. He says:
"My stomach trouble, which afflicted
me for about two years, began with a
general weakness. | didn't have
strength enough to hold up my head
and could eat nothing but lactated food
for over six months, while it was more
than a year before could eat any solid
food. l had palpitation OF the heart
and my breath was short. My left leg
and hand gradually became numb and

my sickness but had no hopes OF ever
getting we'll. took electric treatment
without any help and many medicines
with no better result. My home doctor
came to see me one morning after he
had been treating me for three months
and told me that he couldn't do any
more for me and that ought to 60 to

Inc Farming Special has been termed
an agricultural college on wheels and has
come to be recognized as an important
means for the promotion of agricultural
interest and practice. In the west. where
the farming special idea has been devel-
oped more fully than in the east, manv
such trains are run each year, and the
tendency toward specializing on such
trains is growing. Milk trains, grain
trans, etc., are frequently run. 1t NAV
be that such plan will eventually be
adopted in the east, but for the present.
so far as Maine is concerned, it appears
advisable for farming special to devote
its efforts to the promotion of general
agriculture. While at every stopping
place the public is cordially invited to
visit the train and inspect the exhibits.
A special invitation is extended to school
children.
