Old Books at the
State Library,

State Librarian Harry c. Prince is
attempting to gather a complete set of
books, generally known as the Maine
Civil officer. These date way back
into the zoos and are generally filled
with instructions, relative to the law,
to the municipal officers of the towns.
They were first started at the time
when Maine was only a province of
the State of Massachusetts.
The earliest he has secured is 1891,
entitled THE Town officer" This issue
was edited by Samuel Freeman and
printed in Portland by Benjamin Tit
comb, Jr., and contains instructions
to the town officers as to the inter-
probation of the law, and especially
for benefit of those officers, who are
not lawyers. One of these books con-
tains the interesting law on "Dueling."
The law was one of the state of Mas
sachusetts and related to Maine only
at that time when the Pine Tree State
was province of the Bay State. The
excerpt:
For private malice, displeasure, fury
or revenge, to engage voluntarily in a
duel with rapier or small sword, back
sword pistol or any other dangerous
weapon, to the hazard of life although
death doth not therebye insue To be
publicly (spelled publickly) carried in a
cart to the galows with a rope about his
neck, and set thereon for the space of
one hour with the rope about his neck,
and be committed to the common gaol of
the county without bail or main prize
for the space of twelve months, and find
sureties for the peace and good behavior
for the space of one year after the ex-
pration of the said IL months or in lieu
of said Imprisonment, to be publicly
whipped thirty-nine stripes
The law continues, ITO kill another
in a duel, death, and the person killed,
as we'll as the person convicted of the
murder, shall be burned without a
coffin and have stake driven through
his body, and may be delivered to a
surgeon to be dissected and anato-
mized.
This issue contained ITS pages.
In 1895, the Massachusetts Justice
was published. This defined the power
and duties of the Justice of Peace Of
Massachusetts. In 1912 the Court Of
ficer of Probate was published, defin-
ing their duties.
The general contents of the books is
forms of election returns, laws for the
benefit, and governing of towns, forms
used by county commissioners, and
proceedings by which the government
Of towns are regulated.
The book published in 1871 is the
earliest in the possession of the State
Librarian, and he will be pleased to
learn Of ways by which he can COM
plete the set.

Prosecutions Under
The Game Laws.

Comparatively few prosecutions
have been returned to the Fish and
Game Commission office to date for vi
oiations of the laws during the open
season on deer and moose. One vio-
later was hailed to court for the 1lleg-
al transportation of a calf moose. but
out side of that no cases have been
reported.
The Sunday hunting law is being
enforced by the commission and the
wardens are on the lookout for such
violators. A list of the recent prose-
cutions follows:
Ernest A. Howard of Danforth paid
fine for guiding without license.
He was arrested by Warden George +.
Foss and the fine was $25.
Wradens Z. H. Lowell and j. e.
Wilcox report the payment of $40 and
costs by Gerald A. Harrington for the
trapping of sable and fisher in close
season. The case was tried before Trial
Justice Arthur L. Oakes. Rangeley
Wardens George E. Goss, F. Ray
Neal and F. M. Perkins report the ar
rest of Sid Putnum of Van Vert for
the killing and illegal transportation
of a calf moose.
Russell Grant of Yorkshire was tried
in the Yorkshire municipal court at
South Berwick, and was fined $40 and
costs. The cause was for hunting game
on Sunday.

Regular Meeting of the Governor and
Council, at 10 A. M, Tuesday, Dec. %.

at is only within recent years that
the real causes and corrections of our
enormous fire waste have been clearly
understood" remarked State Insur-
ance Commissioner J. w. Blunt when
asked about this important movement
recently. This campaign" he contin-
ued, "is of decidedly recent origin.
About ten years ago the plan of a
state officer empowered to investigate
and regulate fire waste was first
adopted in Massachusetts. BY 1906
about half a dozen other states had
followed suit.
During the past five years, a mark
ed awakening is manifest throughout
all circles of the country concerning
the size and character of fire waste in
life and property, and the fact that it
is in large part needless and prevent
able. During this time 40 states have
installed fire marshals Cor other Of
ficers with similar powers), and many
municipalities having realized that the
bulk of this danger and loss was in
their congested areas, have begun to
eXercise>police power more freely and
intelligently through varying agencies
to control and abate it. OF late, es-
pecally, civic and commercial bodies
are recognizing their responsibility in
the matter, and are beginning to take
determined hand in bettering fire
waste conditions.
Telling a merchant or householder
that the fire loss of the country, each
year, amounts to more than the ma
tional debt does not start him to think
ing very earnestly about the matter,
but it should jar him into action to tell
him that the fire loss is $500 a min
ute, every minute of the year and
every year as it comes and goes. If
each storekeeper and householder
would take just the common precau
tions against possible fire we believe
the average would shrink to something
less than $50 minute and that, even,
is too high.
Look to your chimney flues, furn-
ace pipes, stoves, ash cans and fuel
bins. See that matches are kept in
closed tin boxes. Keep no oils or in
ffammable liquids, like gasoline, in
side the building. Do not allow rubbish
to accumulate anywhere in the store or
cellar Be very careful about allowing
smoking on the premises. Look well
to the position and condition of your
lamps, if you use them, and don't try
to get your wiring done eheaply if
electricity is used, for defective wir-
ing is one of the most common causes
of loss by fire. And bear this in mind:
When all this preventable fire loss is
eliminated. down will go your fire in
surance cost to a remarkable degree.

to a number of sayings such as the
hot end of the bee and so on.
1t now appears. however, that the
bee actually is hot. The fever with
which 1t works sometimes develops
into a temperature so great as to
partly cook the honey in the hives,
and to actually bake the busy insects
themselves Bee raisers have only re-

We speak of people getting into a
fever over their work or worry, and
1t is true that both things do raise the
temperature of human beings. But
no human being ever gets into such
a fever over either as to cook himself
to death. This the bees really do.
The dominant, all consuming desire
of the worker bee is to work. 1t fol-
lows out this impulse until it dies. A
bee will literally work itself to death.
That. in fact, is how all of them die
except those who are destroyed by dis
ease or accident. The bees and the
ants are the most highly specialized
creatures in the world.
1t appears now that this highly spe-
cialized breeding of individuals with
single dominant idea only is attended
by dangers that carry their lesson to
man.
The concentration of energy upon
one task is so great that it keeps the
bee busy every moment satisfying 1t.
Suddenly there comes a time when
the energy outpaces the work. Then
up goes the temperature of the insect
and it burns itself up. In the same
way, If it's tasks are impeded the bee
worries. The unused work energy
stores itself up more and more, hot
ter and hotter grows the bee until II
dies of it's own fever. The extremely
curious thing is that. one hot bee can
apparently infect whole hive with
it's temperature. and the community
burns itself up.-Spokesman Review.

PEACH BRANDY IS
AGAIN TO DELIGHT

BALTIMORE, Nd. April 17-"Ac-
cording to the bloom in the peach
orchards there viii be a bumper crop
of peaches in Maryland this year"
said Gen Murray Vandiver, chairman
Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee. General Vandiver is one of
the most prominent peach orchard
owners in Maryland In his orchards
on Spesutia Island, in the Susque-
hanna River. are 14,000 trees, and this
year they have outdone themselves in
putting forth buds.
Indeed" continued General Vandi-
yer, who is jubliant over the pros
poets of an abundant crop of the
delicious fruit, "I shall not be sur
prised if the crop of peaches in Mary
land this year will be so abundant
that the market cannot absorb the
fruit at a profitable price and that
owners will not be able to take care
of the surplus The growers will
then have only one recourse left, turn
their peaches into brandy or let them
rot in the orchards"
General Vandiver's glance into the
near future and his prediction Of the
possibility of a revival of the manu-
facture of peach brandy bring delight
full memories to all Marylanders who
have quaffed the delightful beverage
and whose thirst Is long and linger-
ing, for % years have elapsed since
real, genuine, unadulterated, simon
pure peach brandy has been within
reach of those to whom its allure
ments have no substitute Scant
crops, depleted orchards and the de-
mands Of the market and of Gamers
have placed the peach beyond reach OF
the distiller. General Vandiver has
two gallons OF the stimulant in his
cellar which have been there un-
touched and uncorked for a quarter
of a century. II is doubtful If there
are a score of gallons Of real peach
brandy in all Maryland, where it was
once abundant and where il was sip
ped with as much complacency and
disregard Of the future as terrapin
and canvasback ducks were eaten in
former days, in days before their
destruction on a large scale began
The seductive juice of the peach
played no inconspicuous part in poll
tics in those days, when it was freely
dispensed. It is related of the late
III AtOiEt IL btuHlcf Ol ~DOLutIoHl
county. who was the father of the for
mer Judge J. Upshur Dennis, of this
city, that he owed his election in part
to the United States senator ship In
1872 through his generous hospitality
with his peach brandy At the time
of his election he was a State Sem
ator. 1t is said that every Senator
and every delegate who tasted his
brandy fell at once under its alluring
spell and voted forthwith for DR.. Den
mis-. It was the good fortune of the
late Governor Ross, of Delaware. to
have an abundant supply of the
brandy on hand when he was conduct
ing his campaign for the Democratic
nomination for the high Office, for in
those days-40 years ago-a Demo
cratic nomination in Delaware was
equivalent to an election.
Dear memories are revived, a thirst
long in allegiance and good comrade-
ship long smothered are revived and
! revivified by General Vandiver's
promise of peach brandy.
