men; Jonathan Wilson, Town Clerk:
two from each side of the river. James
Nesmith was Postmaster, and the office
was kept in the counting room in~his
store at the corner. There was then but
one mail per week from the West; it was
brought, via Camden. on horseback.
The postage on single letter from Bos-
ton was seventeen cents: from New
York twenty cents; two sheets or pieces
of paper constituted a double letter and
on such the rates were double those be-
fore named. Thomas Whittier, Esq,
succeeded Mr.. Nesmith, and while he
continued to be Postmaster the office
was kept at his house; Madam w.,
named in previous chapter. having the
principal charge of the mails. Thomas
Whittier was succeeded by his son Ben
jamin; during his term of office the Post
office was kept successfully in the base
ment of the Major Chase house, next
northerly from the North Church, in the
northerly end of the building now the
Phoenix House and in the store which
stood where tine store of Mr.. F. M. Lam
caster now stands. Mr.. Whittier held
the office until his death in 1922; Joseph
Williamson, Esq, was his successor.
There is no single particular, probably,
in which the great changes wrought in
the lapse of three score years and ten is
more apparent than in the increased ia
cilities of postal communication. Then,
solitary rider ON horseback, his advent
announced by the footing of his horn,
brought here once week all the mail
matter from the West for this place and
the vast territory lying east of us; now,
the rushing locomotive, heralded by the
shrek of the steam-whistle, brings us
twice in every secular day the same
matter multiplied hundred fold. The
letter which was then a week on its way
from Boston at cost of seventeen cents
for transportation, reaches its destina-
ton now in eleven hours, at cost of
three cents Our evening paper, instead
of bringing to US news week old, is
damp from the press when it comes to

lated, it is true; but what miracles,

cord, is beyond the grasp of the most
fervid imagination.

MUSIC IN INDIAN NAMES,
There is Much Rhythm in Names of Maine
Rivers and Lakes, Although They Appear

Clumsy.
The beautiful rivers and lakes of
Maine almost without exception retain
the sonorous and marvellous names by
which they We're known to the Indians
before the white man set his foot on
the soil, remarks an exchange.
Why, if an aboriginal Tarratine of 300
years ago could slip into a schoolroom
desk ir this year of 1913 he could pass
a better examination than most of the
scholars on the subject of the streams
and ponds of Maine. More than that.
he could tell how each got its name,
from the tumbling Androscoggin to the
placid hmquassabamtook and tortuous
Apmoojenagah
And these very words that appear
crude and repelling to the stranger are
to the Maine man, who knows the
places, as simple and as expressive as are
Minnehaha and Winnipesuke.
Where in all geography are there two
more rhythmical and flowing names
than those of Cobhosseecontee stream
and Pennessewasse pond? And the
River Songo-''Nowhere such "a devious
steam has been sung by Longfellow ::
Silent stream! Thy Indian name
is 10 idLlG,
For thou hidest here alone.
" ell content to be unknown.
1t is just as George B. Wallis wrote
many years ago:
For light serenading the blue "Moselle,'
Bonnie Doom and Sweet Alton may do
very WELL
But the rivers of Maine in their wild solitudes
Brings thunderous sound from the depths of
the woods
The Aroostook and the Chimmenticook,
The Chimpassaoc and Chmguassabamtook
Behold how they sparkle and flash in the sun,
The Mattawamkeag and the far Mussungun,
The kingly Penobscot and the wild Watastook
kennebec, Kennebago and Sebasticook.
The pretty Presumpscot and gay Tulanbe,
The Esquilsagook and the little Schoodie.
Away down south the Cherokee
Has named his rivers the Tennessee,
The Chattahoochee and the Ocmulgee.
The Congaree and Ohoopee;
But what are they or the Frenchy Detroit
To the Passadumkeag or the Wassatoqult?
Lake Leman Como, what care for them
When Maine has the Moosehead and Pongok-
wahem;
And sweet the dews in the vioet's kiss,
Wallagasqueamok and Teosimis;
And when l can share in the hshermans hunk
On the Mooseucumaguntis or Molchunka-
munk
To the strange eye some of these
names perhaps appear uncouth, but that
is merely because of their strangeness.
Surely, such Indian-named islands as
Matinicus. Monhegan and the Che
beague are better titled than Great Hog
Island, Little Hog Island, Ram Island
and the Junk of Porkl
Yet when the Algonquin mask is strip
ped from the Indian place names they
are found to be almost as prosac as the
English named places. For even if Win
nipesaukee does not mean The smile of
the Great Spirit (Which it Doesn't,
the fact that it signifies beautiful
water (in) the high place" shows that
the Indian names were thoroughly de-
scriptive as well as pleasant sounding.
Then what does Cobbosseecontec means?
And Androscoggin? And kennebec?
And Penobscot?-Detroit Times.

night next Saturday, when William
A. Brady Ltd, presents the pheno-
menal success, Ready Money" a
three act comedy of love. modern
romanse, thrills and laughter by
James Montgomery. Ready Money"
achieved the enviable record runs of
six months at the Maxine Elliott
theatre, in New York; four months
at the Court theatre in Chicago; three
months at the Shubert theatre in
Boston; and eight months at the New
theatre in London, England, where
the King and Queen witnessed two
performances. The final title comes
from the efforts, of the hero to obtain
enough ready money to marry a rich
girl whom he loves and who loes him,

in an ingeniously original manner.
The large cast contains many unusu-

With the announcement of the
management of the Elks theatre that
George Kleine's photodrama Quo
Vadis" is to appear for six perfor-
mances beginning Monday November
10, (three Of them matinees,) has
created an interest among theatre
goers seldom seen even with the legi-
innate Broadway attractions which
visit Pine Huff during the theatrical
season.
Since thessfirst announcement made
by Mr.. Hill that the big spectacular
photodramas would appear here, he
has received orders for seats from
many surrounding towns, proving
that the interest in the attraction is
far reaching.
Nothing In the amusement world
has ever BEEN complimented by news
papers and Sthe public in general as
has been distinctive of the visuliza-
ton of Seinkiewiczs famous story
It has been acknowledged by all the
prominent critics in the country to
be the last word in motion photog-
raphy.
Mr.. Hugh HUM, dramatic critic
Of the Commercial Appeal compli-
mented the attractions in lengthy
article and declared it to be a photo
dramatic classic, while the editorial
writer on the staff of the News SINH
ar devoted column on the ditorial
page Of that paper, and asserted that
quo Vadis" was worth $500 seat
instead of fifty-cents as asked by the
management.
Judging from the reports of various
newspapers throughout the country,
''Quo Vadis" must have merit out of
photodrama is unamamous in their
compliments.
The Little Rock Gazette, in review
ing the production presented at the
Kempner Theatre, says:
The production of the Cinesphoto-
drama, Quo Vadis," which opened
three-day engagement at the
Kempner yesterday, is a remarkable
illustration of the wonderful progress
that has been made in the motion
picture world in the last few years.
Perhaps most of yesterdays specto-
tors could remember when motion
pictures consisted of blurred, flick
ering representations OF simple
scenes, such as runs of fire depart

ments and railroad trains whiZzing
by. In Quo Vadis," the spectators
were taken back to the days when
ancient Rome was in her glory, in a
manner that would be impossible to
any other agency. The production
is probably the last word up to now,
of the motion picture art. 1t is per-
haps the most elaborate dramatic
production ever attempted, one in
which there are actors by the humid
red, and scenery which must have
cost thousands of dollars, while it
would seem that human ingenuity
must have been nearly exhausted i'll
planning a spectacle which would
thrill and hold spellbound the spec
tators.
ed, the immense advantage that the
motion pictue sceen has over the
stage proper. Hundreds of scenes
are shown, and spectacular features
are introduced, which, even the most
ambitious and daring playwright,
dares not attempt.
The stirring story of the novel,
Quo Vadis," is followed with little
deviation. Perhaps most of the spec
tators were familiar with the novel
which created SO great sensation
few years ago, but to see it's scenes
enacted before ones eyes, to be trans
ported back to the days when Rome
was mistress of the civilized world.
furnishes thrills to even the most
seasoned theater-goers.
Some of the more spectacular fea-
lures shown are Nero's banquet in
the imperial palace at Rome, follow
ed by the scenes of drunken revelry,
second banquet on the giant boat
on the pond Of Agrippa, the burning
of Rome and the final climax in the
scenes in the arena, when the Chris
tians are devoured by wild beasts
and Ursus, the giant, saves his mis-
tress, Lygia, from wild bull.
Throughout is interviewer the
beautiful romance of Vintitius, the
Roman PARTITION, and Lygia, the
Christian maiden.
