The open season on deer in eight
counties of the State will begin next
Monday, Nov. 2, and continue through
the month. they being Androscoggin,
Cumberland, Kennebec, Knox, Lin
coin, Sagadahoc, Waldo and York,
and hunters are now waiting more or
less patiently for the arrival of that
date. So far as Kennebec county is
concerned it is reported that deer are
plenty in some sections and Augusta
hunters who have camps on the shores
of some of the lakes within few
miles of the city have for some time
had deer Spotted" with the idea of
going out and getting one-which is
all that the law allows to one indi-
vidual in one season in this county,
as soon as the open season arrives. but
whether the deer will still be seen at
that time is a matter of conjecture
Kernebec county deer are more de-
sirable than their cousins of the big
woods further north because of the
fact that Kennebec deer get better
feed and are consequently fatter. Deer
are reported plenty down in the
southeastern part Of the county
and it is probable that one of the
first parties out will take the trai
for that section.

The local management feel very
proud of this seasons course which is
the elimination of six years or study
and experience along lyceum lines
combined with the cooperation OF an
appreciative public.
The most conservative statement
that can be made concerning this sea-
sons attractions is that their equal
has never been offered on any lyceum
course in New England.
When it is considered that by the
cooperative plan of this course one
can for 16 2-3 cents per evening enjoy
a concert by the finest orchestral CLUB
Boston symphony in the world there
is absolutely no argument left against
buying a season ticket. One cannot
afford to miss such an opportunity.
The other five big attractions Will
please equally as well. all being the
cream of Americas lyceum entertain
ers.
The subscription season ticket sale
positively ends next Monday night,
Nov. 2. AS from $500 to $3.50 tac-

ment tickets (50c.. 75c. and $1.00 for
each) will be on sale.-Adv.

fully realize that this years series is
not only far superior to the excellent
courses of former seasons. but that
the annoying objections Of the past
have been remedied. The entertain

from comfortable seats in City hall.
while the troublesome necessity of at
tending advance reserved seat sale
opening during business hours is now
thing of the past.

the fact that extra cars are to be

MERE KID TO HANDLE
MILLIONS FOR CITY
anpoint sidlo.

When in doubt, appoint Sidlo.
This golden rule, followed consist
emily by Mayor Newton D. Baker. OF
Cleveland, has precipitated a discus
sion of Oslerism in Cleveland which
bids fair to eclipse other important is
sues of the day.
Sober citizens are shaking their
heads, n other citizens are making
the dice over the question of tender

whether a mere lad of 26 can conduct
the business projects OF a great city
with a sufficient degree of infirmity.

that he would make good. And n

The department of public service,
which Sidlo will shortly head, is by
all odds liz most difficult and largest
job in the mayors gift. 1t involves
all The details of public improve
ments for a city Of 900, 900. The ply
steal property brought under Sidlo's
control by this department is worth
5000 900 at a low estimate. He must
decide questions of policy affecting the
most complex phases of street inn
proNementS, water upply, lighting,
sewers, harbors. etc. The construction
Of a new 100000 lighting plant and
the adoption of filtration for city water
are two of the propositions which he
must separately grapple.
Nor is large expenditure the chief
embarrassment. A law which limits
the of cities in Ohio has
particularly handicapped such growing
towns as Cleveland, and the new d.
rector must nave first of all to grapple
with the problem of making public
work fit the public revenues.

Mayor Baker first acquired the Sidlo

nine OF DIAMONDS
CURSE OF SCOTLAND
Several Explanations of Origin
of Superstition Are
Offered.

Why the nine of diamonds should be
called ''The Curse of Scotland" has
been satisfactorily explained. Like the
birth OF a celebrated literary person
age, it's origin is "wropt in myStry."
Several explanations have been put
forward from time to time, but very
few of these "a be said to be a real
solution.
The three most plausible suggestions
are these: L. In the game of corNete,
introduced into Scotland by Mary of
Lorraine. daughter of the Duke Of
Guise and second queen of James ",
the nine of diamonds is the winning
card. The game was the curse of the
country, from the fact of the large
by it; 2. In the game of Pope Ivan. the
nine of diamonds is called the pope,
who was considered by the Scottish
Presbyterians as a curse; 3. And one
which is generally accepted as correct.
The card got it's name from it's resem-
biance to the nine lozenges or, ar
ranged satire wise on the armorial
bearings of Sir John Dalrymple, after
wards of Stair. He was secretary of
state for Scotland during the reign
of William I'LL. and was the chief au-
thor of the massacre of Glencoe, which
left such a stain upon his memory and
upon the Kings as we'll. Dalrymple's
AietitS pSStliuc uIleIly dOIiOIIeLt 10 Ikl0
people, being regarded by them as a
curse. Chambers encyclopedia gives
his as the real explanation.
OF the other suggestions, the most
noteworthy arc these: 1. Diamonds
imply royalty and every ninth king of
Scotland has been a curse to his coun-
try. This explanation is rather far
fetched to say least. 1t is an example
of how far people will go in their de-
sire to find a reason for the tenn; 2.
The word curse is a corruption of
"cross" and the nine Of diamonds is
so arranged as to form a st. Andrews
cross. Another example of the pre-
ceding: AS the nine Of hearts would
answer this just as we'll, the suggestion
must be placed on one side as useless;
8. Some have 1t that it was on the
PACK OF a nine Of diamonds that the
Duke OF Cumberland, the Butcher
wrote the order for the merciless execu-
ton OF tie highlanders after Culloden
Sl'4o). However much this suggestion
may appeal to national sentiment, it,
LOO. may go the way of the others.
t inc Term was used in the year lbs, as
the Justice Clerk Ormiston was nick
named by the ladies 1.-The Nine of Dia-
monds." There is also a caricature of
the date October 81, 1745. which repre-
sents the young chevalier attempting
TO lead a herd of bulls laden with papa]
curses, accommodations, ETC., across
the Tweed. Such are some Of the com
mon explanations OF this term and IL
could be wished they were a little more
satisfactory. One cannot saw with
certainty that any of them is the cor.
rect one, but they are the best that
nave as vet been brought forward.

for a week. word went forth that
Thomas L. Sidlo would garner that
particular plum. Meanwhile Editor
Sidlo was publishing the city record
and finding spare time to attend to his
old duties in the street railway de-
partment. One man, one salary, four
jobs-naturally some patriots were
peeved.
At first, captious critics protested
that if he could fill four jobs salts
factorily he could not have been very
busy with job, or vice versa.
But they have learned on closer ac-
q%uaintance that Sidlo has an India rub
Der capacity for work. No matter how
busy he is, he can always take in a lit
