The current issue Of the Maine Law
Review contains several articles OF
value, chief Of which is one by former
Chief Justice L. A. Emery on Some
Inconsistencies in the Constitutional
and Statutory Laws of Maine. which
contains the interesting information
that the convention which framed the
constitution Of Maine was in session
only Is days. However, Names con-
stitution was not hastily or imperfectly
formed, as it was modelled from
that Of Massachusetts, which had stood
the test Of time for nearly half CEN
fury. An Inconsistency pointed out by
the chief justice is that the governor,
although deprived Of the power to re-
move the executive officials Of
county, is commanded by the constitu-
ton to take care that the laws be
faithfully executed" The chief justice
says: He is made to take an oath
that he is powerless to keep" and sug-
gests that the governor and council
should be restored the power of ap-
pointing and removing sheriffs and
county attorneys arguing that they are
state, not county officers.

An unconfirmed report comes from
Kittery Point that a resident of that
section has a shepherd dog that has
developed such fondness for hens
eggs that a neighbor of the owner has
notified him that he is unable to get
any eggs for his own use, as the dog is
making frequent trips to the hen yard
and carrying away, one at a time, the
eggs. Carlo-that's his name-deposits
the eggs on his masters doorstep, but
carefully carries them to nearby gro
Gerry store. He has never been known
to break an egg, but he takes the glass
nest eggs as we'll as the real article.
George o. Smith. the successful Car
ibou merchant, has invented a new
kind Of split-log drag, which is said to
be greatly superior to the old kind,
says the Fort Fairfield Review of May
10. It consists Of three scoops or cross
pieces, which are hauled diagonally
across the road, each piece being two
inches by nine inches and faced with
iron or steel. 1t is much lighter than
the old form, and is said to do much
superior work. The Caribou authori-
ties had ordered quite an addition to
the number Of their regular split-log
drags, but on the advent of Mr.. Smiths
new drag they changed the order. and
are now having them built according to
Mr.. Smiths invention. We hope the
Smith drag will get down this way
