Oxford County Scenery.

In the very commendable effort being
made this season to call attention to the
diverse charms of Maine scenery, and to
advertise the present and future posi-
bilities of the old Pine Tree State, il is
we'll to keep in mind that dame nature
has been lavish in her gifts in Old Ok
ford County. She has her share of beau
tiful lakes and streams, and more than
her share of grand old hills that form a
striking feature of her grand natural
scenery. Not only has she dotted the
landscape with hills of her own, but she
can look over the border and behold the
famed White Mountains in New Hamp-
shire so widely known and admired.
Despite its rough, rocky hillsides,
there are many fine fertile farms, pro
ductive apple orchards and the most
hospitable homes. The county has also
produced its share of intelligent noble
men who have made noble history at
home and In other states.
No locality excels Oxford County for
the loyalty and patriotism of her sons
and daughters. The benign influences
that tend to morality, temperance and
the sanctity and happiness Of the real
New England home exist here In mark
cd degree.
Good healthful air waited from her
lofty forest covered hills and pure water
from her many hillside springs, give
health and vigor to her citizens, and in
spire hope in the invalid visitor 20
fortunate as to sojourn therein. While
~ vet she boasts no city charter, yet she
has many beautiful lovely villages with
modern improvements. Among these is
the old historic famed Paris Hill, once
the "hub" OF western Maine and still a
place OF endearing, quiet, ideal homes
What time honored associations, politi-
cal, literary and otherwise hover around
this beautiful spot. It is still honorsd
in memory and for what II is to-day. II
Is still popular quiet place affording to
the weary, rest.
Then there are the twin villages OF
South Paris and Norway each OF which
keeps pace with the demands of the
business aud educational world. Neat
pretty residences aud substantial bust
ness blocks adorn the places and the
visitor 10 at once most favorably impress
cd with their up to date appearance.
Oxford, Fryeburg, Bethel, Waterford
and other places are patrouized BY sum-
mer visitors, who delight In pleasant
environments. In fact, nearly every town
Ia the county can and does entertain
summer guests who are always pleased
TO come again. The hill and mountain
views are indeed grand and inspiring to
all who love to commune with nature In
its best garb. The people are noted for
their generous hospitality and courtesy.

MAKING STEAM WORK.
Unfortunate Inventors Who Annotated
Wakk

Unfortunate Inventors Who Antedatss
James Watt.
James Watt took out patent on his
steam engine in 1860. but as far bach
as 1913 there WAS captain in Spain
who constructed q vessel Of 200 tons
and propelled It ut Barcelona in the
presence Of the Emperor Charles "
and his court by an engine, the con.
strucdon Of which he kept a secret.
But an old document says that In II
was monster caldron Of water and
that there were two movable wheels
on the outside Of the vessel. The em-
peror was satisfied with its operation,
but the treasurer Of the kingdom OBJ
jected to It. and 80 no encouragement
was given to the enterpriRe. The poor
inventor. whose name was Blasco de
Guerrero. wearied and disguised at the
want Of patronage. took the engine out
Of the vessel, and the secret of the
machine was buried In his grave.
The incident was almost duplicated
In France Il century later. The IA
nous Marian de rOrme, a celebrated
Frenchwomln, who lived to be 1874
years old, told IL a letter to an admir-
er. dated 1G41. Of a man confined in a
madhouse Of Paris for urging that
anything could be done by the force
Of steam. The mans name was Solo
mon de Coste. a native Of Normandy.
and 1t was because he had persistently
followed Cardinal Richelieu, implezing
him to take an interest In his inven.
ton, that he was put behind bars

The question before the people Of Maine is a
question OF changing the constitution OF Maine.
Argus.
Yes, that is favorite cry of the advo-
Gates of license-that they should not be
which do not pertain strictly to ques-
ton of constitutional law" Yet the
only organization which is openly advo-
eating q change 10 the constitution does
not limit itself to the question of consti-
tuition, but advocates "legislation"-thst
is, license. II you want to limit the dis
cussion to the propriety or expectancy
of having prohibition in the constitution,
1t is up TO the Long Named League to
get together and repeal its declaration of
principles as a starter.
1t is really almost touching to see the
resentment displayed by Boston papers
at the interference" In Maine affairs OF
those eminent foreigners who have ex-
pressed the hope that prohibition will be
retained in the Maine constitution.
Terribly touchy the license advocates
are with regard TO any expression OF
opinion favoring prohibition from any
one outside Of Maine. And their own
campaign "literaturen is largely made
up of expressions from men who never
lived in Maine or any other prohibition
state.
One result Of the overhested spell has
been to call attention anew to the alb
surdity of the approved masculine hot
weather costume. With endurance
strained to the limit, all rules have been
disregarded, but when the first breath
of relief comes, convention triumphs
over comfort, and instead OF trying to
devise and adopt some sensible form OF
hot weather attire, men again smother
themselves.
A recently published article on un-
written laws names several which have,
for those to whom they apply, the force
of q moral even though not statutory
code. The frat named Is the law that a
captain must 60 down with his ship, and
the others are somewhat like unto IL.
Most OF them involve wholly needless
waste of human life, and they ought to
be, not unwritten, but written out OF
existence.

TO STOP PROFANITY

Masons in Iowa have taken steps
to eliminate profanity from the order.
M asons of Tennessee are also consid-
ering the matter. This great order is
to be commended for this move.
Profanity is ungentlemanly to say the
least Of it, Some men imagine it
strengthens assertions they may make
to emphasize them with blatant oaths.
In doing so they show contempt for
God and man, 1t is a low down dirty
practice and no gentleman should
ever let an oath pass his lips. A
prominent official of the Masonic fra
ternity has this to say on the subject:
There is one matter to which | de-
sire to direct your attention. The
strongest portion Of the foundation
upon which Masonry stands is rever-
ence for the Divine Being, the Grand
Master Of the great universe in which
he op crates. No man can be a Ma
son unless he believes in God and
looks to Him in worship. This being

ANDREW AIRED KILLED..

Andrew AIread, a white citizen, re.
siding several miles west Of town. was
shot and killed by his nephew, B. Nc
Clair, on last Friday morning.
The trouble arose over some ac-
Gus atoms concerning some communl-
ty thefts. The trouble was agrava-
ted when Constable S. R, Neal, arm
ed with a search warrant, searched
the premises Of Aired last Wednes-
day. On the morning Of the killing
Mr.. AIread rode up to McCIair's home
armed with a shot gun. McClair
opened FIRE with a revolver, four shots
taking effect in Alread and one in his
horse. Both Mr.. AIread and his
horse were instantly killed.
H, C. CockreII, Of this place, was
passing the premises at the time oil
the killing and reached the scene
just in time to arrest McCIair as he
was escaping out the back door, and
brought him to town and turned hin
over to officers.
Mr.. Cockrell will get the $10(
statutory reward in such cases.
The circumstances seem to indicate
that, wherever the blame lies for the
beginning Of the trouble, McCIair sho
in self defense. His committing tria
