In the past flfty years, thousands Of

Gorham was selected ns a summer

home OF Sheriff Drew. The sheriff is
an elderly. stout and good natured Of
iicial. whose duties do not appear 10
weigh heavily upon him. He spends
such time as suits his convenience In
the Thaw suit and the balance where
he pleases-usually at home.
Bodyguard Stevens Is a bit more at
tentive 10 his charge. but his cares
have not whitened his hair. Possibly
the only time he has been at all wor-
ried was few days ago. when Thaw
got lost on trout fishing trip. He
struck In at one point on Nineteen Mile
brook and Stevens on another. Along
about o o'clock In the evening. when
nothing had been heard of Thaw. the
deputy sheriff called up the hotel. and
searching party was organized.
This was led by Rice. With the aid
OF lanterns Thaw was found about 2
o'clock In the morning seated ON rock
In the middle of the stream, calmly
and with good sense waiting for some
one TO come for him. He was hungry
and wet. but not otherwise the worse
for his experience.
He might have been deeply buried In
the Maine woods by that hour had he
been so inclined. This episode. as we'll
as others. is pretty good proof that
Thaw can escape II he is so minded.
When Thaw first came here all the
year round residents evinced great Gu
riosity In the slayer.
Visitors from the city are equally
curious upon their arrival. but their In
quisitlveness shortly subsidies. They
find Thaw to be very much like the
other guests. save that he is somewhat
more exclusive. Much of his time Is
spent In Offices he has established In
the Noyes building. centrally located
on one OF the few streets this little vii
lage boasts. The rest Of his day is
occupied In automoblliDg. fishipg and
tramping.
Thaw recently bought five passen-
ger car The report that he mixes
with the guests and takes them on his
outings Is erroneous
Thaw is too busy with his liberty
campaign" to pay much attention TO
the guests Of this hotel or to the res
idents Of the place.
He doesn't seem TO have changed
much since the days when he was a
well known character on Broadway.

The plan Mr.. Purdy has In mind Is
explained la n report he made 10 the
mayor. Purdy says in part:
'rhe unit values Ia he published Oct
I will be the tentative values fixed by
the deputy tax commissioners. There
will be opportunity for persons inter.
ested 10 study maps ana then make
application To the commissioners for
reductions. when the values are regard

cry taxpayer has been Invited 10 give
Information concerning his own prop
erty or the property Of others by the
use OF blanks provided by the tax de-
partment or otherwise. All persons
having knowledge OF values have been
solicited 10 submit their. opinions OF
values. especially by marking page
of the land value map with the units
they regard as proper in every case
where they believe the units for 1914
were either too low or too high,

gether with the detailed information
freely offered TO taxpayers. is all de
signed as n complete system OF pub
liclty to the end that the most effec-
tive cooperation may be secured. with
all persons Informed as 10 value and
Interested in assessments.
1t Is confidently expected that this
wide open policy of the fullest pub
llcity will both tend TO the correction
OF errors OF fact or OF judgment and
TO the satisfaction Of all property own
ers. All fair minded men are willing
TO contribute their fair share. and
when they can see for themselves that
their share is fairly determined and
that their property is assessed In har-
mOny with all other real property they
pay willingly. Suspicion and dissatis-
faction are dispelled by fair treatment
and the knowledge that the treatment
Is fair.
unfortunately an erroneous notion
still persists that taxpayer must en-
ploy lawyer or real estate expert TO
mediate between him and the tax de-
partment Nothing could be further
from the truth. While the department
welcomes the assistance OF well In.
formed lawyers and experts represent
Ing taxpayers. every taxpayer can pre-
sent his own case, both before the ten
tatiye assessment Is made and TO the
tax commissioners after Oct. II the
tentative assessment Is unsatisfactOry

There Is some likelihood that Presi-
dent Purdy's plan will he extended 10

And never a drop of rain;
There was never a carol sweet
That was sung and sung in vain.
There was never noble thought
But through endless years it lives,
And never a blacksmith's blow
But an endless use it gives.
There was never child's laughter

That there is no wasted love

Epworth League Social.


Four-score Epworthians gathered
at the Methodist church Tuesday
evening and enjoyed a valentine
party. The new room adjoining the
League room was thrown open and
both rooms made use of by the mer-
rymakers. Paper hearts about the
size of a goose egg were distributed
among the guests, the girls getting
red ones and the boys being served
with the white variety. After being
autographed the hearts were eX-
changed and verses written upon
them, each line beginning with the
letters of the surname engraved
thereon. The resultant rhymes were
then read to the company, creating
much amusement. Various games
were then INDUCED in, the younger
set being divided from the older ones
by closing the partition between the
two rooms From the new kitchen
the social committee next served re-
freshments, which consisted of most
delicious fruit sherbet and various
kinds of sweetcake. The fun lasted

FEATS OF MEMORY.
Ono Man Who Astounded Wesley by
His knowledge of the Bible.

His knowledge of the Bible.
One of the most astonishing mnemon-
ic feats on record is recorded by John
Wesley. II knew Il man about TWEEN
ty years ago." writes Wesley, who
was so thoroughly acquainted with the
Bible that If he was questioned as to
any Hebrew word in the old, or any
Greek word in the New Testament, he
would tell. after little pause, not only
how often the one or the other oc-
CURED in the Bible. but also what it
meant in every place. His name was
Thomas Walsh. Such a master of
Bible knowledge never saw before,
and never expect to see again"
Walsh had close rival in Macaulay,
who, according to James Stephen.
could repeat "all Demosthenes by
heart, and all Milton. as we'll as great
part Of the Bible" ga
A strange instance of freak memory
is recorded in the case Of a servant
girl In a Scottish manse She was al
most illiterate, yet when delirious in
fever, surprised those around her by
repeating long passages of the Bible in
Hebrew. The kitchen where the girl
spent her evenings adjoined the min
ister's study. He was accustomed to
read aloud. The girl had not under
stood or consciously taken heed OF the
reading, yet her mind had seized upon
and stored the phrases. London
