IMPORTATION AND IMAGINATION

We say il in a whisper that We
heard that one Of the defeated can
didates in our recent municipal elec-
ton when asked the next day how he !
felt replied that he felt like Lazarus |
that he had been licked by dogs"
We hope that We will be parioned |
III saying that the young man did not |
display the grit of the true Amer |
lean. No one ought TO suffer HIM |
self TO run for an office unless he can |
be a gracious loser When man is |
good loser it shows that he is |
made Of good stuff. It shows that
be wastes no time in nursing a
crouch" and rather than a SOU"
he possesses a sunny and happy dis
POSITION. It shows that he feels that
he is not the pivot on which depends
the welfare OF the community. In
other words he feels like there are
others" Then he is no better than
his fellows and a man feeling that
way generally will triumph over de-
feats and misf0rtunes and in the end
come out trium Banner.
This is another result of our es-
teemei contemporary speaking on
information it believes to be cor
rect" That Lazarus joke is at least
fifty years oil. and is regularly trot-
tel cut after every election. The
truth in this instance is as follows.
Several gentlemen met in one o. our
drugstores the morning after elec-
ton. and were swapping Jokes about

venerable Lazarus gag. with which
some defeated statesman solace1
himself some time before the war, 1t
caused a general laugh, and spread

Used to Hunt Bears

Harry f. Smith is the possessor of
gun which was the property of his
great grandfather Capt Churchill,
and which is at least 1876 years old.
1t has been handed down from genera
tion to generation until it has become
the property of its present owner by
whom it is highly priced. The old
gun is an odd looking specie of fire
arms compared with the modern i'm
plements of the huntsman and war
rior. 1t originally had flint lock but
this was changed long ago to cap
shooter, and it has trimmings made
from horn. The story that goes with
it is that Mr. Smiths ancestor who
was its first owner, and the captain
of a sailing vessel, purchased the gun
in London and used it to shoot bears
with up in the northern part of Maine.
Among other ancient relics Mr.. Smith
is in possession of is trunk which is
brass tackled and which is probably
1875 years old, while he is also the
owner of candle stick $50 years old.

Yes. the town still lives and the

much smaller scale than formerly.
Every available place is being utilized

Some of the business of the town is
being conducted at the homes as there
is no place on the streets. Only A
few of the business men of the town
are located on the street and those
that are, are doing business in small
quarters and laboring under difficult

of Sk0whegan Party Re-
turning from Bingham Fair

An automobile party of local horse
Bingham Fair races, Thursday of last
week, had an adventure on the way
home, which some of them relate with
much pleasure and the balance are
apt to look upon with some chagrin.
The machine was stalled on hill in
Embden and some trouble was expert
enced in starting it. Five of the party
losing faith in the automobile, started
to walk to Madison, hoping to catch
the nine o'clock car for Skowhegan.
The chauffeur kept at his machine,
however, and in an hour after the
pedestrians set out, got things work .
ing all right. He and those who had
pinned their faith to him set out at
once in the machine and overlook
their companions just before they
reached North Anson, they having
walked about four miles. The weary
trampers were taken into the machine
and the journey resumed but trouble
overlook the engine again, and the
whole party finally took the electrics
for Skowhegan.
Anyone wishing to know further
particulars of this adventure or how
the party of five enjoyed their four
mile tramp along the Embden pike,
should consult the President of the
Somerset Central Agricultural Socie-
ty. 1t is reported the time spent on
the road was not wholly lost as the
loyal Skow wheganites continued to dis
tribute advertising matter for the
coming Skowhegan Fair.

Complaints Should be Signed

few months since, Humane Agent. by
Governor Haines requests that COM
plants sent to him should be signed
by the sender He understands his
duty requires him to investigate all
alleged cases of cruelty to animals,
and prosecute where the eircum-
stances justify. Citizens of the county
may properly make complaint to him
in person or letter. If by mail, how
ever he feels the complaint should be
signed, otherwise he does not regard
it as of Importance enough to warrant
his attention. He does not wish it
understood that the names in such
cases will be made public. In the
majority of cases that would not be
necessary, but it does seem proper to
him that the complainant should be
willing to give the communication au-
thority by signing his name.

WHAT WILL ANSON DOl
The Question is Answered by the Acti-
,ity of All In Bringing About Bet
ter Fire Protection

This is the question that, is being
asked by all observers, but the inter-
est taken by its citizens and the acti
yity of all in bringing about a better
and more reliable fire protection ans
wers the question that she will come
out from her blackened ruins a new
town. well protected and prosperous.
For a hundred years and more this
village has been the seat and center
of thriving and prosperous people.
Located at the confluence of the Ken
nebec and Carrabassett rivers it is the
natural place for manufacturing busi-
ness and trade and although the entire
business portion has been swept away
by fire, it still has an existence on the
map of old Somerset that cannot be
obliterated. There was a time in
the memory of some who still reside
here when it ranked mong the first
towns of the state in its agriculture.
It's fine sheep, cattle and horses were
known all over Maine, and for that
reason alone, if nothing else, it must
come and rebuild itself.
Already plans for rebuilding of a
new North Arson has commenced. F.
W Bunker, who is one of the heaviest
losers, has a crew at work on the
ruins of his large block with the hope
of saving a part of the walls and the
carpenters will soon be at work Por-
ter & Marston will rebuild their large
store in the near future. 1t is re-
ported that several other large build
ings will be erected on the site where
the fire swept so destructiyely, and
that new hotes will go up to take
the place of the old Somerset, which
went down in the early morning
hours of the 18th inst. One by one
