J. w Amazeen Of CornYille has been
operating his hay press in and about
Skowhegan recently. Mr.. Amazeen
commenced to work around the press
es when he was nine years of age and
has scarcely missed year since. He
has been actively engaged in the bust
ness for something like twenty years,
and for the last five years the enter
prise has been entirely his own. He
has pressed hay in many of the towns
in Somerset County, but chiefly in
Cornville and Skowhegan. Mr.. Anna
zeen uses crew of five men and three
horses in his hay pressing operations
He plans on pressing so tons per week,
which allows a reasonable time for
moving from one barn to another.
Last year Mr.. Amazeen commenced
The independent-reporter. [volume] (Skowhegan, Me.) 1909-1955, 1913-10-16

to press early in September, this
year about the middle of the same
month. Last years run up to the 18th
of February was about 1000 tons, and
he afterwards pressed for three or
four weeks during the spring months
Mr. Amazeen thinks that the crop
throughout this section was a little
under the average, and that there is
a slight shortage throughout the en-
tire country. This shortage, however,
is so little below the normal that he
does not look for a marked raise in
price. He looks for little more hay
than usual from Canada under the
new tariff schedule, but does not be-
lieve, as yet, anyone is prepared to
say just how much the tariff duty on
hay will affect our market.

STIRRED HEARTS OF MILLIONS
Worshipers Of Buddha Highly Ex-
cited Over the Finding of tho
Bones Of Their Saint.

OF all the treasures unearthed by
nrchaeologist's spade from the hidden
recesses of the earth, no find has ever
thrilled more human hearts than the
recovery of the bones of Gautama
Siddartha Buddha from a mound near
Peshawar, India's northwest frontier
stronghold
The effect of this discovery upon the
votaries of Buddhism, who are esti-
mated to number more than 500, ,000,-
000 and form a large percentage of the
population of Japan, Formosa, Korea,
China, Tartary, Siam, AMMAN. Cam
bodia, Tibet, Burma, Nepal, India and
Ceylon, and who look upon Buddha as
their emancipator, their god of gods,
can be appreciated only when 1t is
considered what sensation the find
ing of the remains of Mohammed
would make in the Mohammedan
world. The unearthing of the bones
Of their revered saint, 1t can be easily
imagined, has stirred the Buddhists to
the depths of their being In a way that
nothing else could have done.
What adds interest to the romantic
find, not only for Buddhists. but for
men and women OF all creeds and
climes, is the fact that the exact To-
cation where these particular relics
OF Buddha had been inferred was
shrouded in mystery. hidden in an al
most impenetrable mass OF oriental le-
gendary lore. No one knew definitely
where the shrine had been erected,
and consequently the hunt for the pre-
cious bones was no sinecure, but It
had to be based to large extent on
pure guesswork.-Wide World Maya

CoLORS NOT BORNE IN WAR
British Troops Go Into Action With
out the Inspiration Of the RegI-
mental Colors.

The colors of the British army are
made Cf silk, with gold-fringed edges
and col Dis and tassels of crimson and
gold, M ,unted on a stan eight feet
seven inches long.
To insure their absolute correctness
In matters of detail and pattern, an
official of the Heralds College acts
as inspector OF colors." He has to
furnish drawings and designs. and is
responsible that an unauthorized de-
parture is made from them.
Every infantry battalion has two
colors-"the wings" and the regi-
mental" The former is always Of the
same pattern. and shows the union
jack on a blue ground, while the lat
ter has a wreath OF roses, shamrocks
and thistles, with the regiments motto
and crest. surrounded by list OF the
various battles in which 1t has taken
part.
Regimental colors are no longer car
ried into action, but are now left be-
hind at headquarters when battalion
proceeds on service This has been
the rule since the Boer war in 1881. A
couple OF years earlier two young OFF,
GERS OF the South Wales Borders
were killed while endeavoring to pre-
vent the colors, of which they had
charge. from falling into the hands of
the enemy at the battle of Isandhl-
wana.

MlSSIVES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dur
Ing Siege Took Years to Reach
the Consignees.

What would Americans say IL they
received mail matter that had been de-
layed in transit for a lifetime? In
France, few years ago, letters for
800 persons were delivered-to as
many of the addresses as were liv-
ing-that had been mailed years be-
fore. They were delivered, moreover,
at the earliest possible moment; al
though the distance between the send
er and the receiver was in many cases
only few miles.
During the siege Of Paris by the
Germans in 1870 the postoffice admin
istration hit upon the expedient, in ad.
dition to the balloons, of inclosing let
ters in small zinc globes, water tight
and hermetically sealed, and dropping
them into the Seine. There they float
ed, If they were not captured by the
Germans, down the river to the French
lines, where a net stretched across
the river gathered them in, and they
were sent on their way.
Unfortunately for the French, the
Germans discovered the character OF
these zinc floats, and as they could not
hope to see and fish out by ordinary
means all the letters that went down
thus, they stretched across the river,
at Villeneuve Saint Georges. a net OF
their own and effectually stopped this
system of postal communication.
The zinc balls and their use were
pretty nearly forgotten, when. some
years ago, a fisherman found in the
Seine, near Villeneuve, a queer looking
globe Of zinc. With a large knife he
opened it. and found 500 letters, still
legibile, and all dated December, 1870.
They were delivered to the postal au-
thorities, and after this long wait in
the river went on their way.-The
Sunday Magazine.

Concerning Men With Tails.

1t would not be wise to build upon
the story Of the coast natives that in
the interior of Papua there are men
with tails. Similar beliefs have been
held in many parts of the world and
many ages, sometimes from impress
sions of apes, sometimes from more
or less spiteful credulity about a peo-
ple's neighbors. For centuries 1t was
a common gibe on the Continent that
Englishmen had tails. 1t originated
from the story that the people of
Canterbury or Strood, having Knocked
at st. Thomas riding upon little ass
and cut on it's tail, were punished
with the curse that thenceforth all
their boys should be born with tails.
And the SCOTS of other Englishmen at
the "Kentish longtails" rebounded up
on the whole nation, so that even in
the time of Edward vi. Englishmen
abroad suffered from the taunt

Baadad and Queen Of sheba.

The Bagdad OF the Arabian Nights"
still exists, but in greatly diminished
form. In fact the grand old palaces
and mosques OF its prime are nearly
all in ruins, and only a small popula-
tion lives where once was a city of
100000 people. A new city is
gradually coming into existence on
the opposite (east) bank OF the Tigris,
the site being Walt. able from a COM
mercial point OF view. The inhabitants
number about 100000, and are mainly
Bedouins. The famous palace OF Har-
oun-al-RRschild has disappeared, and
the foreign consulates occupy its site.
1t is only a tradition which asserts
that the queen OF Sheba, who once
visited King Solomon, lies buried un-
der an eight-sided brick tower bear
ing her name in old Bagdad. The citi-
Zens have ceased to venerate it, we
are told, and the tower is approaching
a state Of ruin.

CLEMSON BEATEN
BUT STILL GAME
Class Football is the Next Thing
That the Boys Will Turn Their
Attention To.

Clemson College, Dec. l. Glenn
sons last football game of the sea-
son was quite a disappointment to
the corps, yet we feel that the defeat
was not because our team does not
compare favorably with Techs.
At least two hundred boys from
here attended the game. They left
on a special train from Calhoun
Thursday morning about O'Clock,
returning that night after II.
Glass football is the next thing
that the boys will turn their atten-
tion to. a prize is offered each year
to the class that can turn out the
best team. All games between the
classes are played on the home field.
Our present senior class holds a
rather remarkable record for class
football; they have held the prize
since their freshman year. The
senior class is never eligible to class
football however, so the cup Will pass
to some of the under classes.
Track and basket ball practice Will
begin in a few days. Our basketball
team will make a better showing
than it did last year, but 1T is most
too early in the season to tell exactly
what material we will have for track,
since none of the new boys have been
tried out.
Our track team has been making
a remarkable showing for the past
few years. They have been bringing
back at least three important prizes
from the S. 1. A. A. meeting each
time for the past four years.
About FIVE hundred of the boys
spent Thanksgiving off from the col
lege, about two hundred of these
went on the special train to Atlanta.
Many of the boys went to see the
Clemson scrubs play Furman in
Greenville. Both games were lost
after a hard fight. The Clemson
boys who coached on the side lines
of both games, showed more spirit
in their cheering than they ever have
before. Every man fought for his
team until the end, even if we did
lose. 1t is always the Tiger spirit
to fight until the end, and this is one
time that they did it. Each man in
college is going to stand b ythe team
we send out to represent us, even If
they are beaten The Tech boys did
not fight for their team as we did.
1t was remarked by some one i'm At
lanta that "if those Clemson boys
fight for their team that way, when
they are losing, what will they do if
they should win the game?"
Greenville man said after the Fur
man game, that the twelve Clemson
boys on the side line over there, had
more cheering and noise than the
whole Furman bunch together
This shows what the Clemson boys
do for their teams, even when they
are losing. C. G. b.
