O'Clock, the following evening, the
man saw the flashes again, but there
has been no repetition of them for
the last night or two, unless it has
been at an hour when the people who
saw it before, were asleep. 1t has
been suggested that the flashes were
from warship patrolling the Maine
coast and the answers from some
heliographing station on a pronounced
elevation far inland, from which per-
haps, the messages might be sent by
relay to the Canadian side of the
Maine boundary

light flashes, one from the interior,
the other far off to the eastward, per-

Two boxes filled with apples were
noted in a Bath grocery. One sort
was yellow and the other red, but the
red ones had been packed in dusty
barrel and looked like 80 cents. In
reality they were 35 cents a peck. A
customer looked the apples over and
decided to buy the yellow beauties,
which he had tried. The proprietor
suggested that he try the red ones
and he did, after carefully rubbing off
the dust with an orange cover. He at
once decided to change his order and
took the red ones which were the best
favored apples he had tasted for many
a year. But the moral is that the
wonderfully excellent eating apples
nearly missed a sale because, in the
first place the grocer was not prepos-
sessed because of the bad appearance
of the apples. Had greater plans been
taken to have shipped these apples neat
and clean, they would have command
ed a better price and been more salea-
BILE. The Washington shipper gets five
cents for his red apples which are not
one tenth as luscious and appetizing
as these red apples Of Bowdoinham.
Our Maine apple dealers have much to
learn in the apple business before
they make the fortunes in this noble
Maine fruit, which beats, in flavor, the
world

Maine Gossip
The Girl | Left Behind Me.

The danes of France are fond and free,
And Flemish lips are willing,
And soft the maids of Italy,
And Spanish eyes are thrilling;
Still, though | bask beneath their smile,
Their charms fail TO bind me,
And my heart falls back to Erin's Isle,
To the girl l left behind me.
For she's as fair as Shannon's side,
And purer than its water,
But she refused to be my bride
Though many year l sought ner'
Yet, since to France l sailed away
Her letters oft remind me
That | promised never to gainsay
The girl l left behind me-
She says, MY own dear love, come
home,
Ny friends are rich and many,
Or else abroad with you III roam,
A soldier stout as any,
If you'll not come, nor let me go,
I'll think you have resigned me
My heart nigh broke when answered

the details of the conquest of Liege. Loucin, the strongest fort, was bonn barred by the newest Krupp guns, which were stationed in the market place, in the middle of the city. Every window pane in the vicinity was broken by the concussion, and pieces of roof fell from some of the houses. The fort soon surrendered. A division of Jaeger were the first men to enter the fort. The destruction was terri ble. About 400 corpse lay piled in- side the stone walls. The stench was unbearable. About 200 wounded were counted. The only man uninjured was the commandant. A wounded man, who evidently was about to be operat- ed on, lay in the lazarett. He had been killed by a shell. Liege had altogether thirteen forts. Nine were taken by infantry storm, the others were re- duced by artillery. The forts are be- ing repaired for German use by the inhabitants of the city who get six francs a day for their work"

Patrols marched through the city. The beautiful shops across from the university were a field of ruins. was told that two nights before, on Aug. 2lSt, shots came from these shops as if by prearrangement. The inhabit- ant of the houses were dragged out, the women were torn from the men, and whoever had a weapon in his hands was shot. In few minutes the streets was Sown with corpseS.

on these obscure features. If, as

it will mean a saving of in the
