Biddeford mourns the loss of the
historic pine tree, which for longer
than the memory of the oldest Inhabi-
tant has stood guard at the First Con-
gregational church. Passersby early
Monday morning found it PROSTATE, it
having been blown dowE during Sun
day night. 1t is said to have been as
old AS the church itself, which dates
back 100 years. There are many
stories of interest connected with the
old tree. 1t is said that the Indians
often met for council under this tree,
that later signal station was estab-
lished in its topmost branches, and in
confirmation thereof the writer remem-
bers what appeared to be wooden
seat and small flagstaff fixed in its
upper branches. 1t was also said that
beneath this tree Captain Kidd buried
some of his treasures Further has il
been said, and The story was believed
by some of the inha bitants of years
ago, that one man digging. found the
Kidd treasures and from that day he
worked no more It is at least known
that this man suddenly gained wealth
though from what source it would now
be impossible to prove.

A Maine woman-name not yet made
public-recently had an experience in
Boston that may or may not teach her
a lesson. The Traveller says: Two
eminently respectable women from
Maine who were visiting Boston de-
eided to go to matinee at one of the
theatres. The only seat they could get
on the floor We're two aisle seats one
behind the other. They took them.
Noticing a man beside her who SEEM
ed to be alone, one of the Maine wo-
men turned to him just after the cur
tain rose and whispered Are you
alone?" No response. The man gazed
steadily ahead Thinking that he had
not heard her. the woman turned to
him q minute later and again whis-
pered Are you alone?' Still no re-
sponse. A third time SHE turned and
whispered Are you alone?' The man
nudged her with his elbow and replied
in whispers, Be careful, my wife is

It is only a few years ago that
churches and banks thought they had
nothing to advertise. Today they are
discovering that their very founda-
tion lies In public confidence and pub
lie intimacy with their affairs.
The bank today which takes advan-
itself of the cheapest medium that
satisfies the letter of the law. only ad-
vertises itself before the most intelli-
gent citizenship as in readiness to
avail itself Of legal technicalities. to
escape part Of its responsibilities
to the local public. That bank has
failed to recognize it's opportunities
or to obey its own injunctions.
Like the church which waits for
the Lord to do it's work, II lie putting
its tools in the hands Of more active
rivals.
Our neighbor who complains that he
is not supported by the business insti-
tutions Of his community in the same
broad manner in which he is expected
10 support the entire community, un-
doubtedly has just cause for complaint
