NATIVE, CARIBOU Res
DENT, DIES, Los ANGELES

The following brief sketch of a native
West will be of interest to our older
readers:
Caribou, Me, Dec. Gin the death of
All Hardison, which occurred last month
in Los Angeles, Cal, the town of Carl
bou loses one of it's earliest settlers and
most highly respected citizens. MIR. Har-
olson was born in Winslow, Me, in 1895,
coming to Caribou. then. known as Lyn-
don with his father. Ivory Hardison, in
lS4l. And all the old settlers well know
the name of Ivory Harrison, and closely
associate it with many of the towns
events in the pioneer days. The subject
of this sketch made Caribou his home,
worked for it's interests and always had
its welfare and advancement at heart.
He had been one Of the towns most sue
cessful farmers; he was hard worker,
honest and upright in his dealings, pro-
gressive and well liked by all. In early
life he was married to MISS Josephine
Pratt. and eight children blessed their
union: Archie Hardison of Geneva, Ind. I;
Mrs. Eliza Lotus of Whittier. Cal; Mrs.
Lenna Scott of Los Angeles, Cal; Mrs.
June Stevens Of Portland, Ore: Claire
Hardison, a nurse of Los Angeles, and
Edith Hardison, a sister. living in the
same city, and Bert and Ivory HardisoR,
living in California

yielding to their wishes he sold his farm
in this town and moved to California
eight years ago. Soon after moving
there he met with the loss of his wife,
which affected him considerably. and
making him disconnected in his new
home. He made three trips back to the
home of his boyhood. each time return
ing to Los Angeles, where he made his
home with his daughter, Mrs. Anna
Scott, where he had the best of care.
Three sisters and one brother survive
him, Mrs. S. w. Collins Of this town,
Mrs. Bishop and Mrs. Ida Brown Of San
ia Paula. Cal, and James Hardison Of
Geneva. In. All of his children were
present at the funeral. During the latter
part of our Civil War the deceased joined

ures to he added by Lieut.. l. $. Clark,
L. S. A., to the military department of
the University of Maine. The war de-
partment recently passed orders to issue
six sets of authorized bayonet fencing
equipment for each company in the uni
versities where a regular army officer is
located. Last week Lieut. Clark received
sc masks, 81 plastrons and 81 sets OF
gauntlets with which to start the bayonet
fencing work Tuesday morning. Special
fencing muskets provided by the univer-
sity will be used.
The bayonet fencing and bayonet COM
bat will be chiefly for the members in
the battalion from the Sophomore class,
who have had the work in the manual OF
arms last year. The purpose OF TINS kihd
of work is threefold; First, it will broad
en- the students in this particular line,
which is becoming more useful every day,
especially in the infantry. and make them
more capable as officers, second, 1t pro-
yides a man with excellent facilities OF
self-defence: third. every man who takes
the work should be in the best of phyS
cal condition.
In addition to this part of the training,
however there is another opportunity
for this work. If the students feel that
the work should be taken up as q sport
and that Maine should have Il fencing
team. Lieut. Clark will do all he can for
the success of such a thing. This seems
to be a possibility very soon as some of
the students are already discussing the
matter. The theory of fencing is simple
enough in itself, but mastery Of it de-
have some of the Sophomores who have
become skilled in fencing take on some
of the Freshmen who are in the best of
physical condition but who have not be-
come proficient in fencing. to demon
strate the great importance of skill in
this work. ..et
The two new courses which were
added at the beginning of the year for
Juniors and Seniors are accomplishing
a great deal of work. These are ele-
mentary courses in minor tactics and
administration. Next year the course
for Seniors will be an advanced course
in minor tactics, continuation of the
course now given. There is a good OBJ
portunity at present for the men that
