The Anglers Wish.

Ut, on the DaNk, 1eel tne west "Ahu
Bear the health and plenty; please my
mind,
To the sweet dewdrops kiss these flow
erS,
And then washed of by April showers;
Here, hear my kenna sing a song;
There, see a blackbird feed her young,
Or a laverock build her nest;
Here, give my weary spirits rest.
And raise my low-pitched thoughts above
Earth, or what poor mortals love;
Thus, free from lawsuits and the noise
OF princes courts, I would rejoice.
Or, with my Byron and Book,
Loiter long days near Shawford brook;
There sit by him, and eat my meat:
There see the sun both rise and set;
There bid good morning to next day;
There mediate my time away;
And angle on, and beg to have
A quiet passage to a welcome grave.

Hon. Asher C. Kinds, member Of
Congress from the First Maine Dis
trict, arrived home yesterday and
will pass the summer in Portland and

welcomed by many friends who con-
graduate HAN upon his improvement
in health which has been very marked
since his last visit home.-Portland
Express, June %.

the coolest June 20 in the history Of
the Portland Weather Bureau. The
minimum temperature Wednesday was

Charles r. Favor, who has long
been recognized as the champion
gardener Of lions Hill, Dexter, broke
all previous records Monday when he
enjoyed his first mess of green peas
| from his garden. Although he has
most always beaten his neighbors
his record this year exceeds that Of
all past seasons and it is barely pos
sible that his picture will be sought
for as an addition to New England's
hall of fame which seems to have it's
headquarters around the Back Bay
section Of The Hub. Mr.. Favor is,
however, eligible, and his friends both
in Dexter and in Massachusetts, will
make an effort to have him given rec
ognition among those listed in Who's
Who in America.
Four young men from Wilton, who
were on their way home from trip
| by auto to Lewiston, recently had an
experience that they probably do not
care to repeat They arrived at
i Strickland's Ferry and, the night be-
ing dark and foggy, mistook the ferry
boat for a bridge, drove onto it and
drove overheard, into about II feet
Of water. Three of them could swim
and quickly got to land. The other
called Justify for help and was rescued.
The party walked to Livermore Falls
and telephoned for another machine
to take them home. The car was
pulled out Of the water the next day.
apparently uninjured. 1t was fortu-
nate that the top was down when they
went overheard. as they would have
gone down with the car and possibly
not all Of them saved.
| The quarantine which has existed
| for some time on the shipping of
Christmas trees from Maine owing to
the presence Of gypsy moths in the
State has been removed and shipments
may now be made after the trees have
been inspected by government agents
and found free from the pests. This
will not only carry pleasure to many
homes but will enable many people
throughout the State to do a profitable
business in furnishing the trees.

pointed postmaster of Bath, was Sc

AS far as known, the largest, and
the only war order received in Bangor
or immediate vicinity Is that Of 1,500.-
900 feet Of deals. now being shipped
from the mill Of the Eastern Manu-
featuring Co., to Boston, and to be
taken aboard a tramp steamer there
and destined for point somewhere on
the Irish or English coast. Naturally
the exact destination is not given out
as the submarine commanders might
see it in the papers and lay for the
cargoes. They may run across 1t &C
cidentally, anyway. AS the deals are
said to be used in snoring trenches and
for other military work, there would
be no scruples Of conscience in the
minds Of the Germans as to whether
the cargo was contraband Of war or
not.
