The "PeopIes Kitchen"

The Peoples Kitchen" which has
been in operation several days has
been pronounced a success by those In
charge and by those who patronize it.
The kitchen was made possible by
contributions from several of New
forks society women. 1t is an ef-
fort to aid families with limited in
comes. The committee who organ
.@ed the kitchen found that there are
many mothers who work outside their
ONES. They have no time to pre-
pare meals at home. and it was to help
hem and their families that the kit
cnen was opened. All the food Is sold
al the actual cost. No food is served
n the kitchen, all the patrons being
compelled to carry 1t to their homes.
Long before the time for opening
there is a crowd lined up with kettles
and other household utensils in which
20 carry away their meals which in

me Illness Of EDITOR Bow,ss.

Many printers Of the old school in
Maine and throughout New England,
are today voicing their regrets because
Of the serious illness Of Samuel Bowles
the veteran publisher Of the Spring

,ury the name of Samuel Bowies has,
Deen prominent In the newspaper his
aory OF New England. and familiar
throughout the country. The year be-

started the Springfield Republican, at
The thriving western Massachusetts
city lie was a man of anal. tlcai
mind and strong characteristics.
auiong them the courage of his con-
.ictions He was imbued with a high
purpose, and an abiding faith in the
destiny Of America. and American
ideals. Like the men who placed the
roots of the Kennebec Journal in the
richest soil Of Americas finest type Of
citizenship, Samuel Bowles planted
publication that has grown in the
hearts and confidence or the people
Of the eastern states and has been
carried by them into the far corners Of
the utmost reaches of civilization.
The present Samuel Bowles. who is
reported as critically Ill, at his home
in Springfield, from cerebral hemorrh-
age, is the son Of the founder of the
Republican. He was born in 1851, and
became member Of the staff Of the
Republican in 1873. Like his father,
he has held the confidence and respect
Of the highest type Of America s
craftsmanship, scholarship and gen.
ius.
In Augusta, Lewiston and other
Maine cities may be found printers
who have served with Samuel Bowles.
and they always refer in terms of re-
spect and admiration to the able gen.
tleman so long at, the head Of one Of
New England's Greatest newspapers.
The late Congressman Dingley, we re-
.lember, often referred to the Spring.
field Republican as the greatest news
paper in New England, save one.
While Editor Bowles and Congress-
man Dingley disagreed on great poll
teal issues, Mr.. Dingley was a care
full and interested reader Of every line
Of the editorial page Of the Republi-
can. The writer has heard him pay
while expressing his disagreement with
the text Of an editorial.
Samuel Bowles was educated in the
schools of Springfield but failing
health prevented him from taking up
his college work in the regular order
He spent much time in travel and.
during two years in Germany, he ma
circulated at the University of Berlin.
He also took special course at New
Haven. and in 1873 became a member
Of the Republican staff. taking the
regular course" through the various
grades of the paper. In 1875 he sue
ceeded his uncle, B. F. Bowles las bust
ness manager, later adding to his
work the duties of publisher and edi-
tor-in- chief. To the work of ar
Bowles in the last 40 years, is due
much Of the prominence Of the SPRING

newspapers Of the country.

History is at hand. Its prominent feat
ure is a lengthy sketch Of Col. john
Allan Of Passamaquoddy. who was ap.
pointed by the General Court Of the
Massachusetts Bay Colony. superintend-
emit Of the Indian affairs in Eastern
Maine and served under General Wash
ington in that capacity. He had entire
control Of the situation during the period
OF the Revolutionary War. This Is from
the pen OF Mr.. Sprague, editor Of the
Journal, and wildly portrays the leading
events in Col. Allan's career. and the
important work that he performed at
that time.
The only other historical writer that
has ever given attention to Col Allan
was Frederick Kidder, in Eastern
Maine, and Nova Scotia" published in
1867. Since Kidder wrote have appeared
several volumes Of the Documentary
History Of Maine, compiled from the
vast mass Of documents gathered by
Hon. James P. Baxter. and known as
the Baxter Manuscripts" Mr.. Sprague
has evidently studied these vita great

subject which was not accessible to
writers at that time This matter re-

"Widower Dick" the famous eagle
of the lower Kennebec, has returned to
its perch on the dead tree on the river
bank near, Phippsburg Center and Is
watched with interest by the many who
have known for years Of the romance
and tragedy of his life. Dick has
been a summer resident of the Kenne-
bee valley for most of two generations.
For years he had a handsome wife, of
whom he appeared to be much at
tached, they being inseparable. An
out-of-the-S State hunter one day crept
up on the pair. perched on the limb Of
the dead tree, and after one shot the
female was dead on the ground. "Dick"
then became ''Widower Dick" and ever
since been true to the memory Of his
first and only love. coming year after
year, alone to his old visiting ground.
A West Rockport man says that he
recalls that the weather Of this spring

weather then was mild, there was no
snow and the wheeling was good. Thus
history repeats itself in the weather. as

are similar to those Of So years ago.
