forest homes, We're wonderful women.
Yet two Lubec girls showed last week
that they were made of the same ma
terial as our ancestors, sayc the Lubec
Herald. Minnie Matthews and Mil
dred Goodell were visiting at Char
lotte, when they took a walk to a
nearby stream accompanied by little
dog. Hearing him bark excitedly,
they went in his direction and soon
found him engaged in a desperate
struggle with a large black animal,
which was getting the best of the
fight. Both girls seized an edging
and rushed to the dogs assistance.
With several good blows they dispatch
ed the animal, which proved after they
dragged it home to be a four-foot OF
ter, one of the finest specimens seen
in that section for years, and worth
$50.

Skowhegan, who is passing some time
in Florida:
The rural mail carriers as rule are
not pleased with the parcels post law,
and the department at Washington is
hearing from them in the way of loud
and long kicks. A Georgia carrier
registered his complaint in the follow
ing letter to his congressman: q
seat myself with pen in my hand to
write you few lines to let you know
that you have played the devil with
me. When | took the contract to carry
the mail the express company was do
ing a pretty good business and | got
10 cents for each express package and
l0c and drink for every jug. You
fixed the law so | couldn't carry the
jug, and now you have fixed up thing
called the possum post law, and the
express company don't handle any
