physical exercise. And as life was too
sweet in the garden to be wasted
Bulge would not sleep till nature took
4 mean advantage of him.. More THAI
once he was found asleep. But when
ever he opened his eyes he would get
out of his "pram' to make explorations.
/ think we would have let him pass his
nights here as we'll as part of his
days, but what mother would let her
baby sleep in the open yet? In such
matters M has to go very gently.
c in the mornings do the babies
round our doors look fresh and we'll.
Their life is degringolade from the first
hour. And as summer drew on Bulge,
like the others, began to droop like
flowers in "a dust storm. In vain did
he go to bed in a safe, dark roonl. under
the protection of his mother. In vain
was ne shielded from cold-if not from
heat. He dropped visibly. And as
every mother in our ne%ighborhood
thinks at once of diet in face of disease,
Budge's mother wanted to know if it
would not be wise to change his food.
1t was changed: but he still moaned
and dropped in his sisters or mothers
arms.
! BY July all the babies round our
doors were i'll. First one died. and
then another. Fast they fell, like pet
| ais in the wind. The Angel of Death
came and gathered them away. Soft.
delicate little things. with skins like
the petals of a white flower. it was
passing strange to see them in a world
of squalor and neglect. Nature had
got them ready for human life with
such refinement. such exquisite prep
araticn and device.
Brave little Bulge had certainly put
up something of q fight for health and
happiness. We saw hin now carried
| info the Garden n small white little
form, very much smaller. as it seemed.
and very quiet. The children spread
a rug on the grass for him. and he put
out n tiny hand and touched the
green blades. and turned way again.
Up in the great elm and beech trees
there was a flutter of wings and the
low. sweet music of happy mothers.
| Bulge did not zeal it. He had come
into this great. busy, noisy. wonderful
world two years CO.. and for two years
something in him had tried to live. to
learn. to grow. 1t was striving now
but very feebly. 1t would strive to the
| end.
1t would have been easy to save
Bulge. Given any open space. with
shelter. 9 little food Chat would cost
less than the price of a moderately
cheap hat in a good shop) and a friend
to give a little help by night and day,

| ergy that strives in the unborn. that

hood $50 that children's progress is more
rapid in the first year than in the 40th),
that spares the brain that it may use It
later. this energy woul a achieved
much in Bulge. And in what a sea of
blissful sensations would all this
growth have taken place. No wonder
the mere memory of it drew his hands
to touch the once owe garment Of
! earth. even in death.

GO ON BASEBALL STRIKE"

Old Town, Me-. May 12.-Something
OF a baseball strike" is on at the
box mills of the Jordan Lumber Co.,
where 80 employees, mostly young men
and boys, have quit work because the
company would not grant Saturday
afternoon off so that they could play
baseball or see games.
The men presented petition to the
management to the effect that they
would be willing TO work overtime
five days in the week to make up the
Saturday afternoon. The management
refused to grant the petition on the
ground that the change of schedule
had been tried in tffrfes past and did
not work we'll. The men then quit work
and most of them have been paid off
and discharged. They are unorganized
and unskilled employees. receiving
from $50 to S1.75 a day.
The strike does not affect the OPP
Grafton of the mills to any great ex-
tent.
Another concern in the same bus
mess has granted the Saturday after
noon off by requests of its employees.

BASEBALL NOTES.

The next game of ball on the Cony
High schedule is that with Abbott
School of Pennington Wednesday on
the Reuel Williams field. Although
this is not a Bowdoin League game
the boys will come through with win
if possible In addition to this game
the local high school will have another
home game Saturday, this being with
Lisbon Falls. This, however will be
a league game.
1t has been suggested that the Au-
gusta Trolley League baseball team
play a game with some other team in
the league on Memorial day, either in
the forenoon or afternoon, according
to the time that Cony has the dia-
mond. If two of the teams could play
a game and divide the proceeds, which
no doubt would be large, it would
help matters quite a bit financially.

FRENCH BEAUTIES
ALL SLENDER

In Paris (the city of the world S
most beautiful women) the first thing
the tourist notes when studying the

sence of plumpness or flesh. They
are always slender and graceful and
so active and attractive. Their nerv-
Gus. emotional temperament of course
affects somewhat their physique, but
most of them keep up continual fight
against increase of weight One
of the many good fat preventives and
cures is easily made at home by mix
ing ounces parnotis (aH good drug

water. When cool strain and take

safe, harmless method of fat reduc-

which he has been sent to the States
prison at Thomaston were excessive
Fred w. White, who was indicted In
the supreme judicial court for Oxford
county in 1908 for an assault with
dangerous weapon and breaking, en-
tering and larceny, has applied for a
pardon or a communication OF sentence
and a hearing on the petition will be
held at the next session of the Cover
nor and Council, which will be held on
May 81.
White was indicted with Edward A.
Flnnan for an assault with danger

kill and for breaking, entering and
larceny of gold watch and chain. He
pleaded guilty to both indictments and
was sentenced to serve three years In

and 10 years on the second indict-
ment.
The petitioner represents that the
sentences were excessive: that he has
been sufficiently punished and that ne
has shown by his conduct in prison
that he has reformed; that he is now
and will hereafter be a law-abidlng
citizen; and that he has two half
brothers, whose parents are dead, Tor

The Cow Road from Washington,
D. c. to Atlanta, Ga, to be Built

Washington, May 12-The first prac-
tical experiment in government main
tenance of interstate highways, now
being undertaken on the stretch of
road from Washington, D. to Atlanta,
Ga, will be well under way before the
assembling of the American Road
Congress at Atlanta, Nov. 8. according
to an announcement made by the Am
erican Highway Association, today.
Every state in the Union and es-
pecially all the farmers and automo-
bilists are awaiting the outcome of the
experiment with keen interest in order
to determine whether the government
cannot, in this manner, aid in making
the road improvement work of all the
states homogeneous.
The American Highway Association,
which originated the governments ex-
pertinent, has already taken steps, in
conjunction with the American Bar
Association, to make the road laws
of the different states more uniform,
and the practical experiment on the
road from Washington to At
lanta is designed to make the roads
themselves more uniform and bring
about continuity in improvement and
maintenance.

Orono, Me-, May 12.-Maine will play
her first home baseball game on Alum
nj field Wednesday afternoon with
Bates, a great fayorite This is not
true, Maine has lost two games in the
championship series, but they can not
be called great victories The first
was to Bowdoin in a 10-inning game.
The second to Colby by the score of
to l. Colby was not able TO coma
through with the winning run until
the ninth.
Maine supporters are going out with
the team Wednesday and help it to
victory. There seems no reason why
this can't be done. Maine has a
strong team but has not yet struck
her stride. Bates has a good fielding
team by reports and a strong pitching
department. 1t will be one of the
hardest fought games played on Alum
nj field fer some time. The results will
decide wheuher Maine shall be in the
championship race or not.

American Highway Association, have
been turned over to the engineers as
signed to the Washington 4 tlanta
highway, and are now covering the
entire stretch of mileage. The Ameri-
can Highway association, which, with
the American Automobile Association,
holds its annual convention under the
general title of the American Road
Congress, is now confident that the ex-
pertinent in maintenance will bear full
fruit before November 8.
Arrangements are being made for
tours over the road to the congress at
Atlanta. Anticipating that the con-
gress will be the largest ever held,
more than fifty exhibitors have al
ready applied for space in the Audito-
rum in Atlanta, which has been set
aside for the display of machinery and
road material. The Mayor of Atlanta
has arranged to close two of the
streets adjoining the Auditorium and
build a roof over them for overflow ex-
hibits.

several weeks ago, intend holding Their
