stroyed by fire Thursday night Eight
valuable work horses and five hogs
were burned. The fire was discov-

The cause is unknown. Mr.. and Mrs
Delmont and a boarder who occu-
pied the house had barely time to es-
cape. Nothing in the house or GU.
buildings was saved. Mr. Sussi
bought the place two years ago and
had a large quantity of blankets.
camping outfit and tools which he
used in numbering operations and ex-
tensive farm work. The buildings
were partially insured. Mr. Sussi was
at his home in this village at the time
but arrived at the farm soon after

'The Worlds Most Popular statuary"

those who seriously study art in its
many expressions, and seek a deeper
understanding Of the underlying spirit
expressed by geniuses in their work,
and those who love art for arts sake
crowded into the First Baptist church
Friday evening to listen to the pastor
give his address on The Worlds
Most Popular Statuary." That the
phase of statuary that appeals most
to the human heart is the greatest of
all times. and not what art schools
have felt to classify as the best, is
the belief of DR.. Phelps. Womanhood.
manhood, struggle, pain, the spirit Of
the Orient were all expressed in these
wonderful exhibits of what master
minds found as mediums for carrying
their ideals to the people. AS one Of
the greatest productions Of the ages,
DIR. Phelps had the Venus of Milo
thrown upon the screen. 1t was
marvellous contrast against the early
Egyptian womanhood as shown in
their mummy cases and other figures
OF the ancient religion that showed
the development of the artistic spirit
in the early periods. In the Sistine
Madonna, where the most beautiful
mother and the most beautiful child
are TO be seen in the same picture, the
face portrayed was compared with the
beauty of Venus of Milo. and the soul
of Mona Lisa The German mother
fondling her child and the figure OF
Pauline Bonaparte posing as Venus
for Conova and the marvellous statues
Of Jeanne dare were other types Of
womanhood that contrasted with those
OF perfect manhood that followed, in
Guiding the Hermes of Praxitales, APP
ollo Belvidere. the Marble Faun and
the works of Michael Angelo with his
Moses. and David going to met the
Goliath. The concluding specimens Of
the lecture were the images and idols

Survey Of Kennebee Water Shed

There is a rumor afloat 10 the eff
feet that the Kennebec Log Driving
Company and some Of the large mill
owners along the Kennebec are con-
templating having a survey made OF
the kennebec water shed meaning the
main river and all its tributaries. This
would be done for the purpose OF de-
ter1nining whether it would be posi-
BILE to erect dams or reservoirs of
some kind to store the surplus water
that PUSHES through the valley in the
spring Of the year at freshet time.
Such an undertaking would require
almost a years constant work. and
in order to store this surplus water
there would necessarily be an expen-
diture Of many thousands Of dollars.
