Stood the Lashes Very Well.

Ohio Spencer, colored, who was SEN
fenced to 80 days in Jail, and to receive
10 lashos on his bare back, received the
lashes on Tuesday morning, March 10th.
from the hand of Sheriff ohn Conard.
The lashes were laid on with an even
firm hand and persons who saw the
trashing say that the whipping will be
one long remembered by Spencer.
Sheriff Conard had Spencer handcuffed
to the iron bars in front of one Of the
windows of the Womens Department at
oo'clock. The whipping was to have
taken place at go, but the sheriff had
received an intimation that a large num-
Der OF persons were coming to witness
the ordeal and he decided to whip the
prisoner half an hour ahead.
DR.. VIM. c. Johnson and DR.. B. o.
Thomas reported after an examination
that Spencer was physically able to be
whipped. DIR. u. G.. Bourne also stated
that Spencer's condition was all right.
He was then handcuffed and stripped to
the waist and fastened to the iron bars.
The sheriff used small whip, shaped
like wagon whip, and while the physi-
Clans counted, he laid on the lashes.
Spencer turneds and squlrmed but he
made no outcry. Blood was not drawn.
Spencer was hnruedly placed back in
the Jail and appeared little Che worse for
his experience.

KIND WORDS

They never blister the tongue nor lips
and we have never heard of anv mental
trouble arising from this quarter
Though they do not cost much. they
help ones good nature and good will.
SOFT words soften our own soul. Angry
words are fuel TO the flames of wrath.
and make 1t burn more fercely
Kind words make other people good
natured. Cold words freeze people and
hot wordssscorch them. and bitter words
makes them bitter, and wrathful words
makes them wrathful There is such a
rush OF all other kind of words in our
DAYS, that it seems desirable to give kind
words chance among them. There
are vain words, and idle words, and
hasty words, and spiteiul words, and
silly words. and empty words and bois.
ferrous words, and warlike words. Kind
words also produce their own image in
mems souls. And beautiful image 1t is.
They sooihe and quiet and comfort the
hearer They shame him out of his sour.
morose, uukind feelings. We have not
yet begun to use kind words in such
abundance as they ought to be used.

THE BUSINESS OF LIFE.

The task appointed unto us is admir-
ably stated in a recent issue of Col
lier'S." Nothing finer as to the stern
business set out before us has recently
appeared in print
To hold the vision of a final arrival
at some fitting destination; to maintain
undimnished sense Of personal worth
mess; TO be defeated in each foolish
dream of the Younger life, and SO to be
disciplined into larger vision, made
more sure by adversely; to be delayed
for most Of life time and yet to believe
IN the strength of human spirit, to sur.
mount pain. outlive sin and defeat malice
and envy; to believe in the gradual but
all conquering power of good will; to.be
saddened but not embittered to be
beaten but not conquered. That is the
stern business set before u.s."

LOVE-.

Love is the flower of the soul. It is
the holleSt and sweetest of the heart
forces which prompt our actions. 1t is
more precious to most men and women
than all OF the wealth in the world. be-
cause II is priceless, and il is one OF the
joys of heaven. Though without price
love Is gift and can bear no relation to
selhshness. Love is the sweetest, purest.
and yet the strongest Of all human influ-
ences. twill endure suffering, withstand
trials and overcome temptations Love
lifts us out Of oursordid selves, and then,
only then, we realize that the outgoing
OF love and helpfulness is but the lncom-
ing of "a peace which passeth under
standing" Joy which fills the fountains
of the heart.
The idea of character as the sum of
the tastes and fixed choices, indicates the
way in which we are to strive for posi-
ton among our fellowmen. We are to
strive for position by means of fitness
for it. The world is full of men who
are aiming at high places instead Of
good preparation. We need to aim first
at our best selves. The ambition of too
many young people terminates on some
coveted position, when it ought to ter
inmate on preparation and fitness. The
man, who by diligence and faithfulness
makes the very most of himself, and
makes himself fully equal to a station of
honor and usefulness among his fellows.
is the man who will get the place and
adorn II. Let no young man fear for
his place in life if he is thoroughly COM
petent TO fill it. There are scores of po-
sitions everywhere, into which crowds
Of applicants are trying to press, which
still wait for the men that can fill them.
The only certain royal road to success
is through character and manliness.
*x
After all, so much in this world de-
pends upon the way that you look at
things. 1t may seem a little thing this
looking at life from cheerful or dismal
point of view but it is in reality a very
great thing Put on pair of blue spec
tacles and everything looks blue; green,
and everything is green. And so it is
with the eyes of our mind. If we take a
and far brighter. We shall not see the
iduitS III pCOplC. Dut tucli VlIluCS. III we
look for pleasant things we shall hnd
them, or at least, we shall think that we
shall find them. which is much the same.
We are very apt to find what we look for;
therefore. let us look for light and hap
pness. 1t is all habit. And it is Just
as easy to cultivate cheerful habit as a
gloomy one. And when once a habit
takes strong hold of us. we all know
how hard it is to shake it off. Let us
then cultivate habit Of cheerfulnees in
all circumstances of life. and a habit of
not finding fault. 1t is not the fault
finders who are going to do the great
deeds and make the world richer because
they have lived in it. No; these fault
finders who have no time to do any
thing but fault finding. 1t is the cheerful
people who help the world along, who
makes its great inventions and laws,
who builds its monuments, write its po-
ems and novels, and who go down to
the grave lamented with honor.

known by Many Somerset County
People

The following obituary notice, taken
from the Dexter Gazette, will be Of
interest to many Somerset County
people who were acquainted with the
deceased and her family.
MRS. EMILY PORTER SAVAGE
Mrs. Emily Porter Savage was born
in Augusta, Maine, in 1892, the
daughter of Frederick Pishon and
Betsey (Porter) Pishon. Her girl
hood and young womanhood was
spent in that city until 1863, when she
was united in marriage to Henry
Knabe of SaXony, Germany, and NOV
ed to Hudson, Mass. Here Mr.. Knabe
died in 1874. To them were born
three children, Isabelle, Fred and
Annie, the latter now Mrs. Charles IL.
Wyman being the only one living.
She married for her second hus-
band Captain Elbridge G. Savage of
Solon, where she lived until the death
of Mr., Savage.
Twenty-one years ago she came to
Dexter to make her home with her
only daughter, Mrs. Wyman, and has
lived here until her death, May IA.
She was widely known because of
her social qualities, and her wide
circle of friends, both here and else
where, will regret to learn OF her
passing out. She was one who never
spoke i'll of anyone and who was ap-
preciative of all that was done foI
her. Her life was an active one and
she was never happier than when
busy. For several years she has
been in failing health and missed the
social gatherings of which she was
so fond. Genial, courteous, nelghDor-
ly, she will be missed by all who knew
her.
She was member of Martha Wash
ington Rebekah lodge and faithful
member of the w. c. T. U. She was
a constant attendant and loyal mem
Der of the First Universalst church
of Dexter, and, in her daily living,
tried to exemplify those broad prln-
ciples in which she believed.
She was faithfully and tenderly
cared for by her daughter and hus-
band, Mr.. and Mrs. Wyman.
Funeral services were held at the
late home Saturday at one O'Clock,
her pastor, Rev. S. G. Spear, officiat-
ing, assisted by the pastor of the Con-
gregational church, Rev. w. M. BoaZ.
The remains were taken to Waterville
where interment was made in the ia
mily lot.
Weep not that their tolls are over,
weep not that their race is run;
God grant We may rest as calmly

MADISON TEAM Won. -.
But THE SCORE
What Was IT. Lewis Made taVey
Fan Three Times and Also Head
Likewise

Madison Won? Yes, sir, IL you
don't believe it, ask any one from that
town and they Will tell you. We nave
been unable to find out just what the
exact score was. perhaps due to the
fact that a score book has a limited
capacity and only one man Is supposed
to come TO the bat in an inning. But
all precedent was broken at Madison
and so many men came to bat ana
inning that the scorer quit in disgust
and simply marked down notches on
a stick to keep track Of the score.
When he had nicked the stick up
twenty-five times for Madison he had
used up all the space there was and
stopped giving Madison any more
runs. While Madison scored twenty
five runs Skowhegan scored none.
Lewis who pitched for Skowhegan
had the unique distinction of striking
out five men in one inning and yet
not getting a strikeout in the score
book. This came about from the
fact that the catcher either let the
third strike get away from him, drop
ped the ball or didn't touch 1t at all.
With any kind of support the game
would have been interesting. AS
proof of the fact the score book shows
that Lewis made Cavey fan three
times and also made Heald do like
wise. Anyone who can make those
two batters strike out, is pitching
some ball.

acts and four scenes, while the mo-
tion picture drama is in two hundred
and sixty-four scenes and required a

people.
The first two reels of the picture
were made at Shedham. England. just
outside of London. The Third and
fourth reels were taken in lower Cal
ifornia at the Lasky studios. while the

Many excellent plays are under con-
sideration for the season. plays which
are not usually available for Stock
Companies and which are among the
recent New York successes. For the
second week a play will be produced
for the very first time on any stage
called "0ne Hour of Life. This play
promises to be heard from later and it
will be tried out" at Lakewood at the
request of Mr.. Brady who expects to
produce it next Fall in New York.
Arrangements have also been made
for another favOrite of the past sea-
son Miss Louise Alcotts Little Wo-
men which delighted audiences in
New York and Boston last winter:
Baby Mine" which had run of an
entire year at Daley's Theatre in New
York; THE Brute" Just TO Get Mar
ried', THE Woman of it" and The
Best People These and others are
the plays under consideration. 1t is
possible that not all who go to Lake
wood realize that these same players
The independent-reporter., 1914-06-11

are not found in the Stock Companies
except in the summer season. all of
the members are in the large dramatic
productions that play TO $150 and
500 prices. and the plays which We
have mentioned are the latest
The management of Lakewood
Theatre has in the past been able to
produce these plays at a very low
cost partly by reason of the income
received from car fares and partly
because it has been possible to engage
a desirable company al salaries much
lower than they receive in the winter
season because the players enjoy the
summer al Lakewood and often refuse
much more desirable engagements
from financial standpoint. For the
past year or two the income received
from car fares has been much less
than in the past on account OF the
large number of people who go to the
theatre by automobile. II will be
appreciated that such a Stock Co can
not be supported by the sale of tick
cts at ten and twenty cents. With
liberal patronage and the help of the
car fares the Somerset Traction Co
has never found the theatre business
much more than barely profitable. Il
the business is to be continued in the
future ii must have generous support
and those who do not ride to the thea
tire on the cars must pay ten cents
more to go to the theatre this year
For those who ride on the cars ther,
will be no change in the prices what
ever To accomplish this the thea
tire prices are advanced to 20c and SOC
on the floor and 35c in the balcony
and all who ride on the theatre cars
on or after p. m. will receive a re
/ bate check good for ten cents in the
purchase of a theatre ticket
