Started Fire In Bed

The fire alarm was sounded from
box "a at Oakland recently, the fire
being on the second story of the
house of Harry Dearborn. His A.
year-old bog had lighted the bed In
his room with matches and had gone
downstairs. The fire had smouldered
about half hour before it was dis
covered. Smoke was pouring out of
the chamber windows in two rooms.
Before the company responded, Mrs.
Dearborn had attempted to throw the
bedding out of the. window, but was
prevented by the screen, the bedding
falling to the floor. The carpet was
burned. also the curtains and some of
the wood work before the blaze was
extinguished by Clyde Soule and a
bucket brigade of women from the
neighborhood. The water and the
smoke caused as much damage as
the fire. No one was injured.

South Gorham, not far from Portland.
Mrs. Asa Burnham, the wife OF a
farmer. was drawing water from the
family well when the plank gave way
and she fell into the icy water Is feet
deep. She sank once but on reap
pearing on the surface grabbed the
bucket chain and began to shout for
help. No men were in the neighbor-
hood but two women. Mrs. RIGGS and
Mrs Marsh, heard the cries OF the
frightened woman and rushed to her
rescue. They secured a rope and
made ii fast around Mrs. Burnha,GA
body. This gave her support until
her two friends could procure lad
der which they placed in the wen
Mrs. Burnham was able to climb to

Norway to Lose Shoe Factory

The B. F. Spinney Shoe Company
which has maintained a shoe factory
at Norway for several years, has de-
cided to remove to Lynn, Mass, and
consolidated with that of the Faunce
& Spinney Company The removal
will affect 500 shoe workers, now en-
ployed there, and will increase the
combined capacity of the two con-
Germs to $4,000 pairs. The consolid-
alton was brought about by the death
of Lewis b. Bartlett, Boston banker
who was interested in the local com
pany After his death it became
question whether the Norway business
should remove to Lynn or the Lynn
business to Norway. Many of
the employees will sell their homes
and move to Lynn. The removal
means severe industrial loss for
Norway.

Celebrates 91st birthday

Mrs. Dorcas w. Nutter the mother
of 10 children, who worked in the
York Mills in 1885 for so cents a week
or 10 cents a day, informally cele-
brated her 91st birthday recently, at
the home of her daughter, Mrs,
Georgia Macomber, 80 Spring street,
Saco, with whom she has lived since
the death of her husband some years
ago. Mrs. Nutter was born in Grove
vile. near Portland, July 1922. The
first school she went to was kept by
Samuel Eden of Buxton, the young
est pupil being five and the Oldest 25.
In 1885 she came here and secured
manufacturing company which was
then in its infancy. At that time less
than 300 hands were employed, while
today the number Is about 5000.
There were no labor unions and in
spite of the fact that she and the 9th
or spoilers received but 60 cents a
week there were few strikes. The
corporation boarded the mill girls in
the big corporation boarding house,
which has long since been torn down
to make room for new mills. The
board, Mrs. Nutter admits was moth
ing to brag about. They had broth
and water, "applesass," and bread and
butter for supper. They had meat
and fish sometimes for dinner but it
was served in such small quantities
that none of the factory hands ever
suffered from acute Indigestion.

Falls to Support Himself

An unusual case was heard before
Judge Lancaster at Augusta last week
in the municipal court. A young
man was charged with misspending
what he earns and not providing for
his own support. 1t appeared from
the evidence that he had been living
more or less upon the bounty of his
parents. Judge Lancaster sentenced
the man to 30 days in Jail. sentence
being suspended to give him chance
to get work and take care of himself.

about go years old. says the Farming
ton Chronicle. When saving up the
limbs Mr.. Lane sawed into a wood
pecker's nest containing three small
birds, one of which was already
dead, evidently from the jar of the
falling tree, and the other two soon
died. The nest is real curiosity
and according to bird books is the
work of the red-billed woodpecker,
not common in these parts but some
times found as far east as Massa-
chusetts. The limb containing the
bored nest was some six or seven
inches in diameter of almost perfect
ly solid growth; the opening to the
nest was as round as though bored,
some over one inch in diameter. ex
tending into cavity about three by
six inches. The work is surely mar
velous, the inside of the cavity being
smooth, a comfortable home for the
fedglings, and well protected from
all harm, as not even a human hand
could have robbed the nest of its eggs
or its birds.

.EVERS ONE OF GREATEST
MEN In GAME-MURPHY

Johnny Evers. manager of the Cubs,
is classed as one Of the greatest play
ers ever known TO baseball. by Charles
W. Murphy, owner of the Chicago Ma
tionaI League Club.
when Mathewson picks Cobb. WaS-
rier and Evers as the greatest thres
baseball players in the world, 1t means
something" says Murphy. Praise from
Caesar. is praise indeed IL Is wen
known among the players however, that
Eyers is always at his best, when there
is most at stake 1t is not generally
known, but It is a fact, that Capt. Larry
Doyle. of the Giants. who was awarded
an automobile last fall as being the most
valuable player on any National League
team. Is a protege of Evers.
when Doyle first came TO Chicago
as a New York Giant, he was very
crude second baseman. but. had the
GOOD sense to ask Evers for some
pointers on how to play the position IN
major league style. Evers went out OF
his way by taking Doyle in the MORN
ing and worked with him for protracted
periods, showing him how to cultivate
the underhand snap throw to first base
after stopping a grounder. and hundred
and one things about playing second
base. Doyle has never forgotten this
Blindness. and In a measure he gives
Evers part OF the credit for his present
standing among major league infielders.
The Chicago club is indebted entirely
to Evers for the discovery Of 'Heine'
Zimmerman. II he does not soon stamp
himself a. one of the greatest managers
of all time, j shall be very badly mis-
taken In the man, and 1 have made a
careful. and might say analytical. study
of his qualifications"
