Seated on the piazza of her pretty
home at Falmouth Foreside, Me, en-
jaying the bright sunshine and the
song of birds. Mrs. Sarah Farr was
found by the reporter quietly celebrat-
ing her 91st birthday by being out OF
doors for the first time this Spring
Ninety-one years is a long time to live,
and in this case they have been years
Of usefulness. Mrs. Farr was born in
Brunswick. May 3, 1922. the daughter
of David and Norcissi CVeseotD
Cripps, and spent her girlhood in that
place. At the age of 10 she married
Alexander Farr of Harpsweii and they
moved to Portland a short time before
the great fire there in 1866 and for
many years Mrs. Farr kept a boarding
house on Franklin street, which Was
Well known for it's homelike atmos-
phere and the kindly personal atten-

of her guests and it was from this
house that Mr.. Farr passed over to the

A saloon has been established near a
Lewiston school. Now it is a question
which will have to move. According to
the doctrine of the personal liberties

Bates College students were not ex-
actly disappointed in the showing their
athletes made in the Intercollegiate
meet at Brunswick, Saturday. Bates
won -nandily and their loyal supporters
made known their satisfaction in sun
dry and various ways, most noticeable
of which was their night shirt parade
accompanied by the college band. Doz-
ems of nighties of varied hues, patterns
and styles of cuts We're Haunted TO the
wanton breezes Saturday evening.
Those students who do not apparent
ly) hold with the modern effeminacy of
wearing robes de moot, put on what
came handiest. They paraded the
streets, whooping like Comanches, did
the snake dance plentifully, and left a
dark blue wake of noise a quarter of a
mile long. About nine o'clock they in
vaded Music Hall where three or four
rows of seats We're reserved for them.
They overlooked the seats into the
boxes where they were packed about
seven deep, roosting on the box rails
or wherever there was a chance to
cling on, sat in the aisles, on the stage,
anywhere. On account of the applause
coming in the wrong places the actors
couldn't seem to remember their lines
and We're forced to improvise much,
which was entirely satisfactory to the
boys. The College Trio made up an act
especially for the occasion and the
Bates boys sang the songs with mich
gusto and some tunefulness. The boys
left after the show without taking the
roof off and departed audibly to the
college confines.--Lewiston journal.
