Conference at Vincent
Improving Streets
Inmheriack Stons a Rore

From the Skowhegan tMalne) Cor. New
 York Times.
 A new method of rebuking a bore was applied the other day to a young New York travelling salesman, whose trip took him to one of the little villages in this part of the great Maine forest.
 At all these villages every travelng salesman must rub elbows at the one ho- tel with the men of the lumber camp and log drive. The young man from New York was one of those fluent youths who feel that they can tell the natives some thing because the natives have not been to the metropolis He got started a lit tie after supper and none Of the others had much chance.
 He told all about things old and new from the statue of George Washington in front of the place where the Father of the Country took the oath of office for his first term, to the East River bridges the Pennsylvania station, the Singer building and the immense population
 Some of those present notified one of the lumbermen working with pen and ink over a large strip of cardboard. He care fully drew on one end of his card a cir ele about an inch in diameter and worked the pen to and fro inside the circle until the ink covered it all Patiently he watched it dry and then with jack knife and foot rule trimmed the card board to two inches wide and foot long with the big. round black spot at ons end Then he turned around to the talkei and in the blandest of tones remarked:
 Mister, it's time for me to go to my camp, but I want to thank you for the information you have given us tonight and to assure you that it Is appreciated I appreciate it so much that I am sorry for you in your predicament. I find from listening to you that you came away iron home without bringing any period witf you only commas and semicolons, anc unless somebody helps you out with 2 period I am afraid you would have tc talk until you get back to New York anc find one for yourself. Allow me 10 offei you this nice. large. new period and tC express the hope that you will find | useful. And I wish to say Good night :
 He handed over the strip of cardboard with the big, black circle.
 The New Yorker. dazed and hardly comprehending, took 1t. and the makei and donor of the period clapped on hii cap and disappeared into the night.
 The recipient of the period went to bet at once while his listeners chuckled fortf a lullaby.

FALLS FROM HOUSE
 AND BADLY INJURED
Charley Lindsay Perhaps Fatally Hurt as Result of Falling Into
 Brick Pile

Athens, June Special )-Last Saturday afternoon Charley Lindsay, a popular house builder, fell from the top of a tall building he was super visng at Rowland, five miles south of Athens, and sustained a number of in- juries, which may prove fatal and which are likely to leave him a cripple for life, if he survives the shock. He was standing on the plate 30 feet from the ground when he lost his balance and, falling, went into a pile of brick and lumber. He sustained a badly crushed arm from the elbow to the wrist, and the physicians fear this will have to come off His right shoulder was thrown out of place, number of ribs broken. and bad hole knocked in his forehead.

Who Owns the Birds?
n the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 Wild game birds are the property of all citizens. under the Roman and con- tinental law. On this principle of com mon ownership the states of this coun- try have enacted their laws. But what of birds that aiight but a short time within one state. then fly to another, and to yet other states? Are they not the property of the people of the union? Be- cause no state cares for them. the mi gratory birds of the United States are going the way of the great aux, the pas senger pigeon and the parrokeet. Will liam S. Haskell of the American Game Protection and Propagation association argued before the Senate committee that, though the title to the migratory birds has never been adjudicated. common sense would suggest that 1t belongs to the feoeral government. and the authorities at Washington should give ample pro- lection to this fast vanishing wild life.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Let Justice Prevail Edito1. nf The A pa- Hara Id

{ro the Editor of The Age-Herald: | The decisions in the Alabama railroad ate cases are wrong in principle, and if Fllowed to stand, wrest from the people he power to legislate on this subject A Dangerous innovation.
 The English judges from the time of ustice Hale to this good day hold, that when a thing is effected with public |ase it is judicial question to condemn |he thing. but legislative question to E ay how the thing shall be used and | he maximum price for it's use.
 For instance, you own and run dray. It Is judicial question to confiscate the |lray and take it out of your possession, but it is a legislative question to say how much you charge for the use of the dray. Such was formerly the decision in Amer |lca, but alasl by switching the meaning Eff the word property" from the thing |to the use of the thing" our courts have decided that the regulation of property ef- fected with public use Is judicial ques- tion, and that all regulation of public ht,lity corporations by the legislature is subject to the supervision of the courts, |and thus the courts nullify the legislative |act.
 Nay, our courts have not stopped at property affected with a public use, but have gone away and beyond this and have usurped the power of the legislature to Regulate morals and health. For instance, Ia man rents a one room tenement, lives sn it, his wife bears children in it, and he manufactures tobacco in II. y-.e Amer |ican courts hold 'the use of that tene- |ment is property" and for the legislature |to forbid its use for the manufacture of |tobacco is conf1scation of property. The leasehold is property, but a particular use of the leasehold is a matter of police regulation. Mir. Editor, this thing means revolution. bloodshed, or complete loss of our liberties and civilization.

How White Bear Forages

From Answers, London.
 The great right paw of the bear, with it's 6-inch claws. slashed through the icy air five inches behind a shadow. But five inches is lot where such folk are concerned and the shadow went on un- hurt to pull up after bit on an ice hum mock, and mock the bear from afar. It was an Arctic fox.
 But the bear did not say anything at all He was snifflng in a crevice among the ice where the shadow had sprung from and presently he crooked in his huge paw and hooked out a seahird of some sort. frozen hard. This the bear ate slowly-it splintered in his vast jaws

A Good Use for An Attic

Frcm the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
 Desperate crises call for desperate meas ures. There is that Ithaca couple, for in stance, which locked all the wedding guests in an attic in order to make a com fortable. orderly escape after the cere- mony The originality of the device is only equaled by it's justice. Wedding guests too often deserve exactly that kind of treatment This man and woman had just taken a step approved by the wisdom of centuries-they had married. They had done nothing meriting, persecution, nothing deserving ridcule or mental tor ture And yet, If experience counts for aught. this same abiding husband and wife would have been subjected to all the scandalous devices known to a post-nuptial "humor." Their auto would have been festooned with old shoes and bedraggled with ribbons; they would have been pursued through town by another auto filled with horn blowing friends" :; they would have been jostled at the train by riee-throwing barbarians and they would have been made uncomfortable, ridiculous and angry. They would finally have got away cursing their guests and revilng a social custom that permits such outIawry. A convenient attic with a spring lock on the outside is recommend- ed for every house which has a marriage able daughter, or for any other reason Is likely to become the scene of wedding The Ithaca man merits discoverer's medal.

 An enterprising tailor has taken the trouble to count the number of stitches in the last coat he made. He found 32,937- 23. 800 machine stitches and 9137 hand stitches The coat was of the jacket va riety. g inches long. A frock or evening coat would require many more stitches. This is how the counting was done: T kept a little tablet with me at my work. and every time I counted 100 strokes of the needle I made mark On my ma chine I found four and one-half stitches were taken at every stroke of the pedal. That was 45 stitches to 10 strokes, and so I put down q mark at every e strokes"
