to Portland TO have the knot tied.
They were soon joined by the fathers

The historical landmark known as
the Crosby warehouse in Hampden,
five miles below Bangor, used at ono
time as a British prison, was de-
stroyed by fire early Thursday morn

Crosby at the head of the then extern

ports from the West Indies and other
foreign ports were landed. II was tho
most pretentious building in the Pc
nobscot Valley at that time. In 1914,
when the British feet came up the
building was used for a prison, and
many native prisoners were confined
there. II had been used for various
purposes since, but for some years had
been unoccupied. The Bangor His

property, and a plan to preserve 1t
and establish a museum was under
consideration. The property was
owned by J. y. Towle and the ]. C.

about $1,000. The origin of the fire is
unknown. The building was not in

An interesting fact has just been
whenever an American enlists in the

The death OF Toma Joseph at Dana
Point Indian settlement of the Passa-
maquoddy tribe Of Indians removed
from the reservation one of its best
known and highly respected members,
says the Eastport correspondent Of the
Bangor News. His age was 70 years
and he was former governor of the
tribe and had twice been a representa-
tive Of the village to Augusta where
he had looked carefully after the well
fare OF his people. Toma Joseph, was
a familiar figure in Eastport for more
than half century past, and he had
been regular visitor every summer to
Campobello Island. n. B., for more
than 80 years where he sold baskets
and other Indian novelties to the Am

residents knew Toma personally and
had always found him square and hon.

ness dealings and he was always a
leader among his people and was held

Hypnotic Him.
Hypnotic Him.

New York, July 13.-The state rest,
ed this evening in the sanity trial OF
Harry Thaw, and the jury's verdict,
which, if approved by Judge Hen
drick, will determine whether the
slayer of Stanford White will be re.
turned to Matteawan or have his
liberty restored. The case will reach
the jury tomorrow. After the an.
nOuncement by Deputy Attorney Gen
cral Cook that the peoples case was
closed, ThaW's chief counsel stated
to the court he will request about Is
minutes for reading at the opening
tomorrow. He said he had no other
witnesses to be called.
A new angle regarding the mental
calibre of ThaW was given by Dr..
Austin Flint, the a~lienist, who resum-
ed the stand today. Flint told the
court that Thaw attempted to hypno-
tie him. The Judge regarded the
tlicnist with some interest and then
asked if he really believed Thaw was
trying so.called hypnotic powers?
With great emphasis Flint repeated
the statement, declaring Thaw s,arcd
at him for 10 minutes. The courts
gavel was used vigorously to restore
quiet.

RHu6ARB IN THE SPRING
Enthusiast Glasses Vegetable as Com.
posIte of Early Sunshine and the
Song Of the Robin.

There are many "rhubarb recipes
Tor spring days" They are for fritz
tiers and pie. And their very sounds
put a smile on life. There are some
people who affect to look down on
rilubarb as a sort Of pIebeian dish,
unit for patrician palates. Such peo-
pie defraud themselves. They revel
in their w prejudices. Rhubarb is
the very essence Of spring, a happy
composite of the early sunshine and
the song Of the robin. OF course, hard
hearts cannot see it thus, for rhubarb
was made for gentle souls.
But the f~ritters and the pie are not
so much the melody of spring as the
sauce, when brought forth by a grace,
a smile and a sweet thought. 1t is
these that awaken the morning II
in the plant and melt the dcws and
start the birds to singing. Prejudice
and vanity will never do it. That rudy
glow in the sauce is the reflection of
the heart, and if it is not there the
heart is not in it. Oh, there be rhu-
barb sauces that are an insult to
spring and make the appetite banker
for kraut and turnips, but the real
sauce, from which the spirit Of the
opening year sings it's song of faith
and love-that is the sauce that turns
rugged life into tender sentiment and
changes hunger into delight.-Colum-

ing to answer letters.
Letter writing is decidedly not a
forte with some WOmen-they think
it a bore, and keep their correspond
ence as far as possible within the very
narrowest limits. Others don't trou.
bic even to answer letters when they
get them.
"Oh! you know I'm a wretched cor.
respondent" they will say in excuse.
The woman who can talk on paper
to the person to whom she is writing,
almost in the same way and with the
same fuency as she would talk to her
were they together in the same room,
is by far the most successful letter
writer.
A good correspondent nearly always
writes as she speaks.
1t is one of the unwritten laws Of
etiquette not to begin a letter with
the pronoun a."
This is always a point which should
be remembered in letter writing.
It is always a wise plan to answer
letters within a few days. In this way
there is no danger Of your laying them
aside and forgetting them. This is
especially important where invitations
are concerned.-Camden Daily Cour'

WORKMAN SHOWS
PLEASE PUBLIC
Good Sized Crowds Attended Per.
fcrmances Yesterday Shows
Are Clean.

Probably one Of the most interest
ing features of the entire Workman
Shows is the exhibit where the Fill.
pino Midgets reside; they are two OF
the most curious little people and
the smallest humans known to live
on earth. M, s....ta
What makes them the more curious
is that they must not be regarded as
a race OF people, as their parents
were average size, and there is no
particularly diminutive race in tn.
Philippines. The little man is but
a inches in height and the little wo-
man q, their ages being 81 and 40
years, respectively. Ia. .,.
At the st. Louis Worlds fair they
were the features Of the government
exhibit and are probably the most
talked of people in the world today.
They have been exhibited before the
lat King Edward and court, at Wind
sor Castle, England, the Kaiser and
the great novelist, Emil lola, once
held a reception at his Partisan home
Whar he introduced them to the lead
ing lights Of French literature and
art. The Filipino Midgets are like
the rest Of the Workman attractions
Of a novel character.
sAncther Lilliputian is seen in the
shows, in Princess Carita, who was
one Of the Barnum and Bailey fea-
lures for a number Of years. This
little lady is most perfectly termed,
exceedingly small in stature and is
a clever entertainer. In addition.
there will be found the Algerian head
hunter, Prince A~lagazuma, who seems
to thrive On eating fire and who real.
~ is entertaining with his reminis.
cences Of his early days. The human
mermaid is another novelty in the
same show, and this lady eats, drinks
and sleeps at the bottom of a large
tank of water. Other human freaks
and curiositics make up a zig enter
tainment under n canvas, without
one repulsive feature.
Neptunc's Daughters is the name
OF the water show, where Miss Lillian
oCOiCy, LHC tl'llS NCIluS, tCiilOh'
strates that she is al expert swim
mer and diver, giving all exhibition of
trick and fancy diving that is inter
esting to witness and includes some
exceedingly clever stunts. Reckless"
Russell, the one-lagged swimmer, is
her companion in this entertainment,
who holds up his end Of the show
with plenty Of action and skill.
The Trip to Mars will probably
cause more laughter and fun than
any other show on the midway. The
journey must be pleasant, to judge
from the expression N eVerycne's

n DEMONSTRATORS
GET $4,000 ACRES
Less Than 100000 Acres of Gov
eminent Land Remains in
Williston District.

Williston, N. d., July 12.-Nearly
$4,000 acres Of government land, the
equivalent of $50 quarter section
farms, were obtained by homesteaders
in the Williston land office district
within the II months ending June 80,
according to the annual statement
made public by Receiver Thomas B.
Murphy to-day. As a result of this
hig demand fer free public land less
than 100000 acres Of government
land remains in the five counties
comprised in the local land district,
and in spite of the fact that much Of
the remaining land is rough and
broken and suitable only for grazing,
1t is now being taken up by prospec-
tive lomesteaders at the rate of 300
to 800 acres a day.
More than half of the land still
available for homesteading in the
Wiliiston district is situated in Nc
Kenzie county and is in the bad lands
along the Little Missouri river. Un-
der the enlarged homestead law this
]aand is being taken in 320-acre tracts
and will be used almost exclusively
for stockraising. However, many
settlers are finding tracts of land
with from so 10 100 acres which may
be cultivated.
Williams county still has something
more than 10000 acres of unclaimed
land. Some Of it is said to be suit
able for small grain farming, but the
most Of it Is either very rough and
broken land or brush-covered river
bottom land.
The remaining land in this district
comprises scattered tracts in the
three counties Of Mountraill, Burke
and Divide, parts Of which are in
cluded in the local land Office juris-
diction.
There. has just been opened to set.
Element about 5000 acres O t land

cation project was built. This land
Is; river bottom land, mostly within
a mile or two Of Williston or other
towns. and although brush.covered
land, is very desirable.
