Doubtless there Is an excuse for length
ening out newspaper dispatch report
ing the drowning of a person IN lake or
river with the unimportant statement,
1.-THE body was recovered; but why
should that be tackled on in the case OF
small boy who fell into cistern?
A distinguished addition to the list OF
practicing attorneys in Maine Is Hon.
William P. Whitehouse, former chief
Justice Of the Supreme Judicial Court,
with an office at the court house in Au-
gusta; and a valuable and trustworthy
counselor he should be.
Only a short time since we were told
that, with the enormously Increased
demand for rubber, the supply must
soon be insufficient, and the price went
I'D almost BY leaps and bounds. Now II
10 said that the demand has operated to
increase the supply, and the price of the
crude rubber has gone down in response.

the death of two ayistors who fell the
day before.
Ii 10 at least refreshing to learn that
the Priuce of Monaco, who has literally
princely revenue from the largest gam
bling house In the world, Is a gentleman
and scholar, and does not smoke,
drink nor gamble.
The latest suggestion ID that Colombia
shall enlist the help of European capital
lists to build a canal across Colombia TO
compete with the Panama canal. To
be sure, that would be rich piece OF re-
yeuge for Colombia, and the United
States has shown them how to build a
canal, but entirely aside from any ques-
tion of the Monroe doctrine, which
might be involved, it Is likely to be a
great many scores of years before Euro
pean capitalists are prepared to pull
Colombia's chestnuts in that way.
A congress of scientists in Germany is
making serious II not solemn tests of the
divining rod and the claims made for 1t
Perhaps next they will tackle the horse
chestnut-in- the-pocket for rheumatism.
In recent Maine wedding the name
OF the groom was Maine Hills and that
of the bride Geneva Heal. What a
chance for the puuster
Everywhere both the colleges and the
public schools are reporting their capsc-
ity taxed, this fall.
A New York state paper figures out
that In one Of the rural counties the re-
cent primaries cost the state five dollars
per vote. Two ways of looking at that
one as costly luxury, the other as an
unused privilege.
About time for Joe Knowles to finish
his stunt and appear, SO that We may
know whether he has been taking or not.
