The deer season in Waldo county opened at
midnight, Nov. 18TH and will continue for 80
day, when it will be legal for anyone to shoot
one deer. Herbert Seekins, who lives short
distance out of the city, on the Wales Miller
road, shot a fine, fat doe. at daylight Saturday
morning not far from his house.
Rev. David L. Wilson of this city went to
Islesboro last week in the interest of the Boy
Scout movement and addressed large and
enthusiastic audience in the town hall Through
the endeavors of the teachers in the public
schools, assisted enthusiastically by the BUSH
ness men of the town, much interest has been
awakened in the movement and the boys of
the island will become members very soon of a
regular Boy Scout organization.

get in. She got the door closed and the man
finally went away. She notified some of the
neighbors and they called the police, who
found the man. He had been drinking, and
seemed to be confused, but was peace full
enough, and said ne would do anything if the
officers would only let him go home. He came
from neighboring town and was started on
his way home. This is one of the effects of

1T WAS FORGERY. Grand Army and social
circles were stirred last Tuesday when it be-
came known that L. C. Putnam. commander of
Thomas H Marshall Post, g. A. R., had receiv-
ed this exceeding curt note from the Mayor:
Let your hall according to the lease" This
was understood to forbid the use of Memorial
hall to outside parties, and as the Universalist
society had engaged the hall for Friday, Nov.
22nd for its annual fair, one of the church
members telephoned the Mayor to ascertain
what his intentions were in the matter. The
Mayor replied that he had sent no such letter
or message, and the letter is clearly rank
forgery. The city marshal has been instructed
to ascertain the writer, if possible, and it is
hoped he may be successful. 1t is difficult to
conjecture what the object of the sender could
have been. The Universalist fair will be held
in Memorial hall tomorrow, Friday, as adver-
tised.

Mrs. Florence Collins Porter.

Some of the residents of Aroostook
county, Me-, are feeling unusually
pulled up just now, and all because Mrs.
Florence Collins Porter, now of Califor-
MIA, is at the the Republican National
convention at Chicago as delegate-at-
large from that State. Mrs. Porter is
we'll known in Maine, and especially at
Caribou, where she was born, and in
adjacent towns. In her younger days she
was school teacher. Her late husband
supplied his pulpit for him. In Maine
she was prominent in temperance, edu-
cational and philanthropic work, and also
in the women's literary clubs. For sever
al years she was the superintendent of
schools of Caribou and then became the
editor and proprietor of the Aroostook
Republican, weekly newspaper, which
she eventually sold out, and then she
moved to California, settling in Los An
geles. Boston Globe.

MARK TWAIN'S FIRST TYPEWRITER.

1t was in 1874, during a famous trip to
Boston with DR.. Twitchell, that. Mark
Twain saw for the first time what was
then a brand-new invention, type
writer; or it may have been during a
subsequent visit. week or two later.
At all events, he had the machine and
was practising or it December 9, 1874,
for he wrote two letters on it that day,
one to Howells and the other to Orion
Clemens. In the latter he says:
Il am trying to get the hang of this
new-fangled writing machine, but am
not making shining success of it. How
ever, this is the first attempt ever have
made, and yet | perceive that | shall
soon easily acquire fine facility in its
use. | saw the thing in Boston the
other day, and was greatly taken with
it."
He goes on to explain the new wonder,
and on the whole his first attempt is a
very creditable performance. With his
usual enthusiasm over an innovation, he
believes it is going to be a great help to
him, and proclaims Its advantages.
This is the letter to Howells:
you needn't answer this; | am only
practising to get three; another slip-up
there; only practising to get the hang of
the thing. | notice | miss fire and get in
a good many unnecessary letters and
punctuation marks. | am simply using
you for target to bang at. Blame my
cats! but this thing requires genius in
order to work it just right"
In an article written long after, he
tells how he was with Nasty when he
first saw the machine in Boston through
window, and how they went in to see
it perform. In the same article he states
that he was the first person in the world
to apply the tpye-machine to literature,
and that the story of Tom Sawyer was
probably the first type-copied manu-
script.
The new enthusia SIN ran its course and
died. The typewriter was not perfect in
those days, as it is now, and the keys
did not always respond readily. He de-
clared it was running his morals that
it made him want to swear" He of.
fered it to Howells because, he said
Howells had no morals, anyway. Howells
hesitated, so Clemens traded the machine
to Bliss for side-sadde But perhaps
Bliss also became afraid of the influence
for in due time he brought it back. How
ellis, again tempted, hesitated, and thi:
time was lost. What eventually became
of the machine is not history. -Alber
