gone through more exhausting cam-
paigns than most OF his Indian fight /
ing comrades, but as long as he vas
able to be on his feet he kept his
greatness and a semblance of his old
yigor His body was literally COW
cred with scars received in the many
enga gements he had fought with the
Indians. Knife wounds. lance thrusts,
tomahaNyls blows and bullet wounds
had hacked, gashed and pierced him,
but old age and natural inlrmities
killed him at last.
But few of his comrades were left
when he passed away. Nome of them
attended the brief funeral exercises
that were held over the Scared re-
mains Of one of the most picturesque
characters of the vanishing West. He
had outlived most of them and the
West itself had wel-nigh forgotten
his existence.
Even the books of which he is the
hero have almost gone out of ex-
istepce. The yellow back" publish
ing business is not profitable any more
and a newer class of cheap literature
has taken its place. Little boys are
being spanked for their literary sins.

ODD FACTS ABOUT SLEEP.
Larger the Brain tho More Sleep 1t
Requires.

All the organs of life rest in some
way or other. The heart has an in
terval of rest between each combined
act of contraction and expansion and
the beginning of fresh act. Between
each expiration of the lungs and the
succeeding inspiration there is a Pc
Fiod of repose Psychologists have
calculated that the heart reposes dur
ing about one-fourth of the time
Certain of the other organs suspend
their activity in part during sleep.
old Psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the pressure of the
blood on the brain. But modern phys
ioiogy, with tendency to regard the
brain as the origin of all force and
of all functions of the body, inclines
to the view that sleep is caused by a
withdrawal of blood from the brain.
AS a rule the larger the brain the
more sleep ii requires. Webster went
to bed at o'clock and rose at s..
General Grant used to say, during his
campaigns. II can do nothing without
nine hours Sleep"
A curious trait has marked men of
large brain-that of sleeping at will.
Bonaparte used to throw himself on
the ground and go to sleep within a
space of two minutes. Pitt was a
sound sleeper. and slept night after
night i'm the house of commons while
his colleagues watched the debate, and
reused him when it was necessary
that he should speak-New York

from people who pretend to own it, all
of this township. irrespective of the
deeds which we got from the State.
After this we were obliged to pay to

brought forward by S. w. Philbrook
of Skowhegan. And it is my judgment
that there are two or three other lots
yet In that township to which there
are outstanding Revolutionary sol
diers titles which may be brought
forward and which are better than
those of the present owners, notwith-
standing that they have bought and
paid for the lots as we did.
Now, that gives little idea of my
connection with "Soldiertown," and |
want to ask the Waterville Sentinel
what there is about it that is wrong.
what | have done that is not straight
and regular as citizen of Maine or
as public officer. to wit, as attorney
general. | want to state fact which
but few people know, and that is that
the land agent of the State of Maine
as far back as 1878 reported all lands
sold. and | think there are but few
men living who ever bought any wild
land of the State.
The story of the title to this town
ship is probably one of the most COM
pick to be found In the records of
Maine. ! think | ain within bounds
when | say that there have probably
been given, from one time to another,
nearly 500 deeds. mortgages. convey
anees and attachments affecting the
title to these different lots. There
have been thousands of dollars spent
already in examining its title. The
attorney of the present owners at the
time of the purchase | know spent
more than two weeks of time at the
records at Skowhegan, trying to pick
out the real ownership.
Now. how easy 1t would have been
for the Sentinel. or whoever wrote
the article. to have given the public
the benefit of these deeds which [
have referred to, and which show how

township.

Women's Jobs for Men,

The cutlery over women invading
mems fields of work has lasted 20
years. Before that it was mostly o.
laugh; since then It has been half a
cry and half roar. Meanwhile the
women have been invading.
Yet inyasions haven't been oil
on one side. Where some ambi-
tious. industrious ors-more com
monly-hungry woman has snapped up
the job some man has thought himself
too good to I'll, or proved himself unfit
to fill, there has usually been another
from which man has grimly should
cred the weaker worker or into which
she has eheerfully invited him as her
successor.
The Government selected about 300
familiar occupations-303 was the act
uai cumberland undertook TO find out
how many people of either sex were
employed in every one of them. We
have only to turn to the old romantic
literature of half century ago to con-
front period when the countryside
was a-bloom with buxom nilkmaids:
and any farmer need only talk To his
mother tic learn of the harsh, unro-
mantle reality that prevailed when
milking was the regular duty of wives
and daughters. 1t is now, for that
matter, in thousands of country house,
holds; but, in so far as dairying has
become a distinct occupation. the milk
maid or dairy woman is all but ex-
tinct. AT last reports the regular dairy
men, who make business of such
work, had left only 1896 women with the
milk pail, the mems numbers have
grown to 1908. A woman's work, de-
spised to men only a generation of so
ago, now distinctly q mans job. and
yet so distastefu to most of them that
hands for dairy farm can be secured
only on payment of wages higher than
the average.
The danger is still more noticeable
in that more picturesque of womans
farm Ia SKIS, butter and cheese making
Jennie isn't at the churn so that you
can notice her nowadays: Jennie's
kicking about the price of butter and
1853 men workers, and only 74S of her
own sex still cling to the old calling,
once so conspicuously theirs.
And Bookkeeping? Time was when
womans gentle soul was supposed to
be the brand of spirit peculiarly sooth-
ing to bees. But the beekeepers who
make speciality of it number, 1875,
and only 81 of them are women.
1t is worth while to note that these
are all features of farm drudgery. once
the housewives own, and now taken

FLOWER AND PLANT CHAT.
A Garden to Satisfy the Eyes and
Appetite.

There are no Towering shrubs that can
equal in beauty the blossoms of the fruit
trees which occur before the frost has
really gone. This is followed by the
fruiting of the Strawberries in June
By the middle of June cherries are ripe
and raspberries are ready in July. Then
follows the currant and gooseberries and
blackberrles, while the early varieties of
peaches are ripe in August. and so are
some apples and succession is main
tanned until the heavy frosts arrive.
A fruit garden is just as permanent as
any trees or shrubs, and more permanent
than most herbaceous borders-for in
these you do not have to dig up and sep
arate the plants as is necessary with the
Iris and Peony for instance.
One is accustomed to thinking of
fruits as being produced by large trees,
and consequently requiring large area
of ground, but it is entirely possible to
grow bigger. better favored fruit and
more highly -colored on dwarf trees
These trees lend themselves so readily
to pruning and training that they can
be grown in almost any conceivable
forms. They can be trained in fan or
any fiat forms, against buildings, fences.
porches. arbors or trellises. They can
be trained low on trellises to form
hedges or to screen unsightly objects.
Apples, pears, peaches, plums and cher
ries can all be had In dwarf forms.
The leaves of the grape are large. and
their beautiful green color is as attrac-
tive as any of the ornamental vines
grown. The grape makes an excellent
vine for training over porches, arbors
and summer houses or pergolas.
In planting dwarf trees to be grown
in bush form, they should be set about
10 feet apart, but when planted against
a building they should be set closer to-
gether.
A good trellis on which to. train fruit
10 feet apart. on these wires are strung
about nine inches apart
The trelllses should be put in before
planting the fruit trees. and the trees
should be planted up close to the wires.
The small fruits. raspberries, black
berries, gooseberries and currants, can
be used singly. just as one would a
shrub. The currant bush being particu-
larly decorative, treat them as though
they were towering shrubs. There is no
reason why they cannot be arranged as
beautifully as the ordinary shrub, and at
the same time yield you good return.
There is no reason why one cannot place
the small fruits according to the same
general Instructions for planting shrub
berry borders. of course with certain limi-
tations. While the dwarf fruit trees
have wonderful possibilities in decora-

few women tagging on behind or, If
they have developed initiative of their
own, among the ranks of the manufac-
tuners themselves. There are many
other household duties which women
have abandoned or men have appropri-
atcd. How many women bake their

country, once made at home in all but
some few instances. is furnished by
22,0o9 men eonfectioners, although here
9,219 women have succeeded in hold
ing their own. The canning and pre-
serving of meats and fruits, once
wholly home task of women, was
first seized upon by men and more or
less gladly relinquished by the women.
But popular prejudice in favor of hon
