Mr.. BOWKER GAVE UP
Concluded He didn't Need No
Vessel Prop'ty Anyhow"
Possibly Fact That He Had Already
Spent Almost Twice the Amount
He Was EndeavorIno to Collect
May Have Induced Him.

When Capt. John Haskell left the
schooner Maria, fifty-six years old, but
still able to anchor of L~incolnville
Beach, Maine, while he went home to
Owls Head for Easter, he owed ED
enezer 3owker, ship chandler, $26 tor
supplies. But 1t didn't worry Ed
enezer any. Captain John had been
trading with him for more h a 30
years and had always paid his bills 10
the last cent. And it would have been
all right had Captain John come back
but he didn't; he died Of pneumonia
a few days after reaching home.
After trying vainly to find someone
who felt like paying the bill for stores
Bowker got out an attachment. He
hired a Belfast lawyer to draw the pa
pers and got Constable Seth Pease to
serve them.
Next morning when MI. Bowker got
to the store he found Constable. Pease
sitting on the steps waiting for MIN
with the information that the Maria
had dragged her anchor in the night
and was aground two miles down The
beach, and just over the line into
Knox county, where he Constable
Pease) "ain't got no iur-is-dic-shun."
This made it necessary to go to Cam
den and get a new set of papers. While
the legal arrangements were being
made a southerner came along and
took the ancient coaster over to Isles
boro, back into Waldo county. An
other revamping Of the papers was
then necessary, and Constable Pease
went wei to Islesboro, only to ind
that some fishermen, having found the
Maria adrift, made sail on her and
took her to Stonington, Deer Isle,
which is in Hancock county.
If MI. Bowker had foreseen all this
trouble he would never have bothered
about hi1 $26, but now that he had paid
out $3.50 in legal expenses, and been
"joshed" by the entire community for
his inability to catch an old tub like
the Maria, his dander was up and he
swore that he would get the old crit
ter if he had to send for the United
States navy to help. He got some more
red tape unwound to fit the Hancock
county necessities, and employed a
constable at Stoningte- to serve the
papers. After a day or two word came
back that a nephew of the deceased
skipper, who had been working in the
quarries, had settled with the fisher
men who brought the Maria to port
and taken possession Of the old tub in
the name of the rightful heirs of Cap
tain Haskell, and had sailed two hours
before the constable arrived, bound
to some port ito the west'ard."
Upon receipt of this news Mr.. Bow
ker gritted his teeth and looked over
his expense account. He had paid out
nearly $40 in a vain attempt to col
lect $26. Then, with energetic strokes
of a scattering stub pen he crossed
the account OFF his books, saying:
Let the burned old sled go to Chiny
Z she wants to. She needs calkin'. n
some new p~lankin', n new deck
frames, tar n pitch, new main standin'
riggin', n a few sails n new runnin'

Balkans.
Captured All GaIicia
The capture of Lemberg was one of
the earliest important successes of the
Russians. Following 1t they pushed
onward rapidly through Galicia. The
high water mark of the invasion found
almost all the province in their hands.
They appeared within striking dis
tance of Cracow. at the western end
of the province, close to the German
frontier; stormed the heights and
passes of the Carpathian mountains,
which separate Galacia from Hungary,
and, to the east, toward Buckawana.
All this has been changed by the
steady succession of Austro-G German
victories of the last few weeks. The
change began with the launching of
tho great drive from Cracow eastward.
Great numbers of German troops were
sent in to assist the Austrians, as we'll

use of artillery by the Teutonic allies
has been described by correspondents
as on scale never before undertaken.
It's effectiveness was relatively in

the part of the Russians, which is be-

the weakening of their resistance.
Terrific Bombardment

captured Przemysl, June 3, and then.
without pause, struck at Lemberg from
