Maine GOSSIP
Garden News.

ister)
The latest floral news is out.
And butterflies will spread the story
Sweet Pea delights to CAD about
And gossip with the Morning Glory.
The Pansy with her pretty face
STANDS still upon the garden border
To watch Nasturtiums run a race
And struggle back in gay disorder
The Mignonette SO small and shy,
Has really such a sense of honor
That she returns a sweet reply
Even to those who tread upon her
The Honeysuekles greeting sends
To Hummins-B Birds, who answer gayly;
And all the flowers ask insect friends
To come and call upon them daily

Some of the Portland police officials
are wondering whether they were the
victims of a hold-up Sunday, or
whether it was purely a happen

gines came over the Congress street
crossing and both of them stopped and
stood on the crossing for more than
two minutes when they were making
