sASANoA AND THE WOOL WITCH.
A Romance of Legendary History by Rev.
GEORGE S. De1ano.

George S. Delano.
This beautiful story in verse tells US in
vivid Imagination of Sasanoa who was an
Indian Princess at the time when the
Wool Witch held sway in the valley of
the Kennebec, from Kineo to Seguin,
and from the Bay of Fogs to Machigonne.
The Wool Witch was no mere necro-
mancer; she was prophecies, seer,
and priestess; her power was absolute
throughout the land wherever her name
was known. She it was who turned
Indian cruelty and vengeance upon them
selves, and by her marvellous insight
into Natures mysteries, brought about
the concentration of volcanic forces
which ploughed from the Kennebec to
Hockamock bay the path where now,
between Arrowsic and Woolwitch is
lands, Sasanoa river winds its way
among marshes ad through He'll Gates
rock strewn channel. Arrowsic,- the
young Indian, was the Wool Witch's con-
trolled, visible power among the Indians.
Around him and Sasanoa, weaves the
romance of legendary history of days
when Egyptian touched hand and heart
with 1sraelite in the land now Maine.
The volume is bound in Indian red
cloth, stamped in gold on back and COW
er, with gilt top and uncut edges, and
they Biography and binding do great
credit to the publishers, Smith & Sale of
Portland. 1t is put up in neat slide
case. Price, 81 net.

HON. NORMAN H. WHITE
Appointed to 5000 Office by Gov. Foss.

Norman H. Whites nomination for
chairman of the State Finance Commits
sion has riled and surprised the old guard
Republicans, and one hears of dire
threats to refuse him confirmation by
the Governors Council. AS the matter
now stands, it is said, none of the Re-
publican members of the Executive
Council are willing to take individual
blame for starting movement against
Norman for confirmation, but there are
members of the Executive Council who
assert that if men higher up in the party
councils will issue the orders they will
refuse to concur with the Governor on
the White appointment. White, it is
said, away along last June, secured the
Endorsement of prominent Republicans
for the position, including Lieut.. Gov.
Luce.
If White is refused confirmation it will
be purely political move, of course.
His rejection means a lot more trouble
for the cold Guard" which he has been
fighting for the past two years. Some
of those who profess to know say that
the Governor would be tickled to death
to have the Council refuse White con-
frmation on the ground that it would fan
the Progressive flame and help keep
alive the feud between the "Old Guard
and the Bull Moosers.
While member of the Legislature,
White said some pretty harsh things
about Gov. Foss. The two were at
swords point most of the time relative
to State finances. The general impress
sion about the State House is that the
"Old Boy" slipped one over on the "Old
Guard Republicans when he picked out
Bull Moose White for this $4,000 State
job. Boston Globe.
Mr.. White is summer resident at
Saturday Cove and has many friends in
this city who will be interested in the
above announcement. His appointment
has been confirmed by the Governor
Council.

Though cold skies frown.

Of summers roundelay,
And burst of glorious sunshine,
Is over the darkest day

A few stars dimly shining,
And November's as sweet as June
For hear through the wonderful stiffness,
The music of other days,
With humanity's best in its sweetness,
And humanity's faith in its praise
think of thee.
When do think of thee?
A steep rough path is winding
All the way up hill;
Weary my feet with climbing
Tagging are courage and will
A CLINT as of gold on the hill tops,
A CLEAN as of angels wings
The thought of dauntless spirit,
And hope in my heart up springs
