Old Landmark Gone.

The Blaine schoolhouse in Mars
Hill up on the hill, the one James G,
Blaine honefed years ago by giving
a bell, which still hangs in the belfry,
is no more. 1t has been converted
into a storeroom and moved to an
other site. A good many bright boys
and girls, now old men and women,
graduated from this historical build
ing, and no doubt there is a feeling
of sorrow as the old schoolhouse
leaves the foundation it was builded
upon years and years ago.-Kennebec

anced in outline, or whose hairdress-
ers know how to conceal any defect
in that regard
The pretty hair-dress pictured here
is so easy Of arrangement that any
one may undertake it. The chignon
at the back, Of puffs and curls, is
pinned to a coil of hair twisted firmly
and fastened close to the head to
serve as a support. No attempt at
regularity in placing the pufrs or
curls is apparent
The front hair is loosely waved,
parted in the middle and rolled back
at the sides. The ears in this, as in
all the fashionable coiffures, are con-
cealed It is the softness Of the hair
about the face and the charm of curls
at the back that make this style al
ways admired and never passe.
A coronet of filigree silver is worn
in this particular instance. For this
style only coronets or bands are in
strict keeping. They add immensely

TABLE DELICACY OF GERMANY
WestphaIIan Ham Is Given It's Plquant

Wherever a German table delIcacy
is in demand, there is the Westphal

peculiar piquant taste by the use of
juniper berries In smoking the meat
The Juniper shrub is indigenous to
northwestern Germany and so plenti-
full, especially in Westphalia, that to
Its presence is due the growth, during
the past several centuries, OF two
principal industries Of this German
province, the distillation of gin and
the preparatioc of hams. After weeks
of preparation the hams are ready to
be smoked. The smoke houses con-
sist sometimes of two, and sometimes
of three stories, the fire being kindled
In the lowest and the meat hung in
the second and third, to which the
smoke ascends through holes In the
flooring. Westphalian hams are I'm
yariably smoked over a bright fire
made Of beech-wood only, except that
juniper twigs and berries are constant
ly thrown on the fire. Beech-wcod
sawdust is strewn over the fire In
case 1t becomes too strong. The
smoking process requires on an aver
age about eight days.

Baseball Managers.

Americans will comport them
selves with dignity at a political
meeting, prize fight or in a theater
or on the street. The same Amer
leans will, at baseball game, de-
mean themselves like savages.
Why the difference?
Why will the American who treats
an actor, a politician or a prize
fighter with due courtesy loudly
abuse and vilify a baseball player on
the field?
Without the slightest desire to i'm
pugn the courage of any person,
why will some men feel privileged to
call other men names on the base
ball field that they would not dare
apply to them on the street?
Baseball badinage had its origin
In friendly banter at neighborhood
games. The people who learned to
kid" a friend while playing on the
lots carried the none-too edifying
practice to the great public games,
where it went to extremes. 1t is
noticed by persons who frequent
baseball games that the so-called
rooster" Those who cali players
names, shout, etc.-are usually
people of pronounced neurotic type.
The noisy fan yells at a baseball
game as the noisy dog barks and
pants at the passing automobile,
through sheer nervousness.
1t has also been noticed that the
Large, good-natured person, espec-
tally he who has played baseball and
knows a good deal about it, rarely
makes any noise at all. To the man
who really understands baseball, the
game is TN all-absorbing study. The
man who tries to guess what par
ticular batl the pitcher should pitch,
what ball the batter should strike
at, what plays may come up, and
when the base runner should steal
has no mind for vacuous vituper-
alton or silly shouting.
Baseball is wonderful and beau
tifnl game. 1t is called the National
Game of Americans. The funny part
of it is that few Americans know
even the rudiments of their Natl
onal game.
| If they did, they would have more
respect for it, for its players and
for themselves. AS things are, a few
special policemen judiciously dis
tributed among the spectators would
very quickly put an end to the silly
and shameful abuse of players and
umpires.
The owners of baseball clubs have
been seriously derelict in their duties
to their patrons, to their players and
to the great American pastime.
The employment of three special po-
licemen in each park, at cost OF
81, 900 a season to each club, would
at once put an end to practice
that has been a disgrace to Amer
lean manhood, to fair sport and to
the greatest game in the world
Republic.

ONCE more the poor old consumer
has to dig down into his pocket and
pay tribute to trust. This time
it is the coal trust, and the excuse
given for this trusts latest scheme
to gouge a few extra dollars out of
the public is the fact that the coal
miners went on a strike. There is
no evidence that the coal strike,
which was not, strictly speaking, a
strike, cost the trust anything ex-
cept the profit it would have made
had the men not laid down their
tools pending a readjustment of
their contracts. But with this
weak excuse for basis, the trust
has decreed that there shall be no
usual spring discount of 80 cents
per ton on coal this year. 1t is
also announced that the usual
summer discount will not be al
lowed. Thus the consumer pays
not only the loss in profits suffered
by the trust during the strike,
but he also pays for the slightly in
creased cost of mining, due to the
small raise IN pay granted the
miners. Does anybody pay the
miner for the money he lost in
wages during the lay off? Not that
anybody knows of. The miner is
not in a position to gouge the long
suffering consumer.
