When to Lock the Stable

To magazine readers, Homer Croy the thor of When to Lock the Stable, needs no introduction. He has long since found warm place in their hearts through his quaint, human expressions in Golfers Weekly and the Lese-Judge publications. His originality and individuality al ways refreshing, and his natural, spon- taneous humor and unexpected mode of expression are reminiscent of immortal humorsts.
 Mir Croy is fortunate in being able to tell exactly what he sees-nothing more, noth- ing less-and to interpret life in his own inimitable way without unnecessary adorn- ment. He offers plain tale of simple folk that is by turns deeply pathetic and delightfully."- udicrous as life itself.

RECORD FLOOD
REPORT ABOUT
WATERvILLE IN
LAST 36 HOURS

Waterville, Me-, April 21-(SpeciaD.
Not since the freshet of 13 years ago,
when the Ticonic foot bridge was
washed from it's foundations, has the
water in the Massachusetts been so
high Within four hours Monday eve
ming, from until 8, the water of the
stream rose two feet, while all day 1t
had remained practically the same. AT
P NJ. it was six feet above its nor
NAL pitch and the water within three
feet of the floor timbers of the bridges.
Its banks are overlooked on both
sides, and the water has extended far
back into the fields. Boat and ca
noe houses along the banks are in
accessible, and slips used as landing
places have been lifted above the ex-
ira stakes and wires that were put
i'll, Monday by cautious owners. to
prevent them from being washed
away.
A rainfall of 1.41 inches and the
melting of the snow and ice in the
Sandy and Carrabassett rivers and
other tributaries has brought the Ken
nebec river to a pitch nine feet above
normal It was believed Tuesday that
this is as high as the river will rise
this spring, although the snow up
country has not all melted. From
now on the river will probably re-
main about the same pitch until the
snow has entirely melted. The rise
was very sudden, but Monday it re-
manned about the same.

Death Bed Statement
VeteranICe Merchant
Celebrates Birthday

Bath, Me-, April 21.-tSpeciaD.-
Wcrrall. Reed, the veteran ice mer-
chant of the Kenebec river, today
celebrated his S9th birthday at his
home in Woolwich. He was visited by
many friends throughout the day and
seemed to enjoy the event.
Mr.. Reed was born in Woolwich at
the Days Ferry district, son of
Samuel and Mary Reed. When small
boy he shipped before the mast in a
square rigger and was away from
home for eight successive years. When
he returned he decided to stay at
home and later went into the ice bus
mess and for upwards of 80 years cut
from Lake Nequasset.
Mr.. Reed has always been interest
ed in the ice business on the Kennebec
river and feels that some day this COM
modify will be cut on the Kennebec
even in greater quantities than in the
years of long ago He feels that when
this day arrives ice houses will be
constructed of concrete to make them
practically everlasting.
Mr.. Reed has three sons and four
daughters.

EYES OF A PIG.
Did You Know They Closely Resemble
Those of a Human Being?

Your eyes are like a pigs. If any
body told you so you would doubtless
feel insulted And yet such a statement
would be quite correct. Your eyes are
very much like a pig's-more so indeed,
than they are like any other animals.
This is one of the most curious truths
of physiology. A pigs eye so closely re-
sembles that of human being as to
serve very important practical pur-
pose. Young men who are learning to be
eye doctors are taught the rudiments of
their business with the help of pigs eyes.
They dissect them and practice all sorts
of operations on them, from removing a
cataract to the shipping of the muscles
which control the movements of the eyes
in their orbits. If an oculist happens to
be puzzled about an operation he ex-
poets to perform, he sometimes gets one
or more fresh pigs eyes from the butcher
and makes experiments with them.
"A pigs eye in a live pigs head does not
look much like a human eye. 1t is small
and not very intelligent in expression.
When the pig is dead, however. and the
eye is taken out it is hardly distinguish
able from the eye of person.
Human eyes do not vary much in size,
and In themselves they have no express
sion whatever When it is said that a
person has large eyes it means simply
that the opening between the lids is larg
wholly responsible for ocular expression.

tions-New York American.

been such that out-of-door practice
has been impossible to any great ex-
tent. Many of the boys will be seen
in their last years positions. The fol-
lowing il the probable lineup: Cusick
and Sugar will probably exchange in
the box and j. Talbot act as back
stop. Wiley will be at his old stand
at first, while O'Brien, who has here
tofore played in the outfield, will
probably cover second. Phil Talbot
will be seen at short and Capt. Mac
Farlane at the third bag. The out
field will in all probabilities be Brisk,

pretty good to us. Turn out and give

HIS STATUE TO MARK HIS
GRAVE.
Old Soldier Will Be Shown in the
Uniform of the Pennsylvania
"BucktaiIs."

To perpetuate his memory after he
is dead, Melville H. F'reas, of No. 24s
East Haines street. Germantown, is
preparing to erect life sized granite
statue, depicting himself in the uni
form of the Pennsylvania 'Bucktails,"
which he wore through the Civil War.
The veteran closed the contract for
the chiseling of the stone figure,
and he is to pose for the photographs
which are to guide the hand of the
sculptor, and in about four months
the statue on a five-foot pedestal VIII
rise above his burial plot in Ivy Hill
cemetery.
Freas is 73 years old, and in spite
of the plans he is laying to mark his
grave, he is as hale and vigorous as a
man in his prime. Through the dec
AIDES that have passed since he fought
with the One Hundred and Fiftieth
Pennsylvania volunteers, the regiment
usually known as the Bucktails, he
has lost nothing Of his erect carriaSe
and military bearing. The one mark
of his age is his long patriarchal
beard, snow white and reaching nearly
to his waist.
The old soldier lives in the past. This
walls of his home in Germantown are
covered with photographs of battle
scenes of the Civil War. A piece N
confederate bareback which ne
brought away from Belle Isle prison,
in Richmond, and two cannonbails
from the field at Gettysburg are
among his mementos. Freas is fond
of telling the story of the struggle over
and over again, weaving into his
graphic narrative the collection of pic
lures and souvenirs. When he at
tended the Gettysburg reunion he took
with him his eight years old grant,
son, Russell Johnson, dressed in min
iature copy of the Bucktail uniform
worn by the old man. Every Me-
mortal day he visits his burial plot in
Ivy Hill and fires a salute over the
bodies of two of his comrades who are
inferred close by.
The statue of the soldier will por-
tray him in the Bucktail uniform, AMI
his attitude will be Parade rest"
The stone figure will be feet IL
inches in height and will be carved
from Barry granite. The five-foot
granite pedestal on which ii will rest
will bear the following inscription:

With continuing rain lasting I'M
til early Tuesday morning, the city
was awakened to find the river at an
unusually high pitch, with the water
only a few feet from the stores on
Water street. The Eastern Steamship
wharf at the foot of Central street was
fully two feet under water, While the
dock at the foot of Central street was
also submerged. The floats and waiting
houses of the Hallowell- Chelsea ferry
were securely tied, but it was feared
that they might go out with any fur
Their rise. At A. NJ, the water was
about eight feet above the normal
pitch. while at high tide Il P. M, it
was about 10 feet higher than usual.
At low tide & P. NJ, it had not fall
en- any, and at P. NJ. a slightrise
was perceptible. River men are of the
opinion that the water will reach its
highest pitch at high tide at about
A. NJ. Wednesday and then will begin
to slowly recede. Thus far the dam
age along the waterfront has been
quite slight.
The barge Bast of Philadelphia,
which went up the river Monday in
tow of the tug Ariel and which was
forced to anchor before reaching Au-
susta, owing to the swift current, was
brought back with the assistance of a
second tug, and locked at the Hal
