About Bermuda.

To the EQitOr:-
Dear Sir:-Eery gratifying are the
results obtained from our trip TO Bsr-
n4uda advertised in your paper. 1t

few in and around Augusta. If you
know Of anyone who is interested. If
You will have them write US. We will
furnish them with list of the names
OF those who are already booked from
Augusta and vicinity. ] must tell
you one Of my experiences while IN
Bermuda during Christmas week this
year: A lady by the name Of Mrs.
Bass while driving around the North
Shore in Bermuda asked the driv-
er to stop q moment. She stood up
charmed with the scene spread OUT
before her across the bay. and ex-
claimed TO the others in carriages is
they drove up. I have been twice TO
Italy. where I have seen the world
famed Bay Of Naples. but it was
never more charming than this
beautiful panorama before me- This
shows what contrast there is be-
tween Bermuda and the State OF
Maine and those who go with us in
March will have the opportunity Of
appreciating.
Yours truly.

AMERICANS ARE WARNED
TO OBTAIN PASSPORTS
New York Agents of Steamship
Lines Give Advice to Pro-
spective Tourists.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Americans
leaving here today on board steamships
for Europe were warned by agents OF
the various lines to provide themselves
with passports with photographs of all
members of their families more than
fourteen years old. This was in part
due to receipt Of Information that dur
ing the last month seventeen Ameri-
cans have been detained upon arrival
in Liverpool for failure to carry such
documents.
Any alien leaving New York for Eu-
rope is permitted to travel on steam
ship of his own nationality without 8
passport, but most of the lines reject
all other passengers not. so identified.
This rule it was learned. has been put
into effect by the Holland american.
French, White Star, Scandinavian
American and Italian lines. Consider
able delay in the landing of passen-
gers at Liverpool is said to have been
caused by persons, who, having been
naturalized in the United States, de-
clare when they arrive in England that
they are British subjects.

Maybe you're right Mr. Toad said

lucky to be caught by anybody else. :.
That's because you can't see beyon,
your own nose, Peter" grunted Old
Mr.. Toad Have you forgotten John
caught by Farmer Browns boy and
taken up to his house and then
wouldn't come home when he had the
chance because he knew he was better
off there? And have you forgotten
how Chatterer the Red Squirrel was
now is one of Farmer Browns boy s
best friends? I tell you those young
Possums are safe for the first time
since they started out to see the Great
World. They'll live now to grow up,
and that's more than l believe would
make. their own way in the Great
World"
You mean thar you don't believe that
Farmer Browns boy will harm them "
asked Peter.
who put cabbage leaves out for you
demanded Old Mr.. Toad, severely.
Peter looked a wee bit ashamed.
What do you know about it? You
were fast asleep" he returned.
II know all about it," declared Old
Mr.. Toad. "A little bird told me. You
winter l don't know what goes on.
How about the time that Farmer
Browns boy found Mrs. Grouse under
the snow and took care of her and
then let her go? l tell you again that
those young Possums are lucky. You
wait and see"
II don't know but you are right, Mr.
Toad. I don't know but you are right"
returned Peter, thoughtfully. "We'Il
hope 80, anyway
