riaEMEs:s BANQUET.

The firemen's banquet, held in
the X. of C. hall last evening, was
one of the greatest successes
held here in long time. Tho
storm prevented a number from
attending, but about 100 men,
women and children were there
to enjoy the evening. The menu,
prepared under the direct super
vision of Chief Kemper, was ono
to stimulate the most jaded ap-
petite and the way the good things
disappeared surely proved to
those in charge that their efforts
were fully appreciated. After the
members had all gathered they
were invited to be seated at tho
beautifully decorated tables and
the following menu was served by
several of our most popular young
ladies':
Radishes Onions Celcry
Pickles Olives
Roast Pork, Roasted Whole
Cheese
Bread and Butter Sandwiches
Ice Cream Cake
Cigars Candy
After all had moro than done
justice to the fine spread j. n.
Fitzgibbon, chairman of the en-
tertainment committee, intro
duced DR.. r.. D. McEvoy as chair
man of the meeting and he, in a
few brief words, very nicely ex-
pressed the thanks OF the assem-
blage to the committee for the
excellent work 1t had done, and
also limited that every one pres
ent would be glad to see this
made an annual affair. After his
remarks he called on Z. +. James,
president of the fire company for
many years, who gave n nice talk
on the work of tho department
through his many years of serv-
ice. Mr.. James was followed by
DR.. E. T. Giddings, ]. N. Tamisiea,
C.. II. Deur and F. A. Heath, all Of
whom We're loud in their praise
of the excellent banquet and tho
coed feeling which prevailed
among the members. Heretofore
the ladies have not been invited,
but all agreed that the evening
was much more pleasantly spent
with them present.
The duet of Misses Dorothy Nc
Evoy and Tiny Hearn was very
nice indeed and was appreciated
by the guests.
Next years banquet will DO
anxiously awaited by the men,
bers of the fire department and
their families.

The Prince of Yesterday" at
the Majestic last night was very
beautiful hand-colored picture.
The storm is sure bad for the
picture shows, as it has kept many
away from seeing one of the best
weeks programs we have had for
some time. Mr.. Moreland of the
Majestic has chosen a splendid
set OF pictures for every night
this week and they are among the
very highest class that he could
secure.

One of the most quoted Of
President Wilson's recent savings
is this: Legislation is work
of Interpretation, not Of origina-
ton It contains within it all
the implications that go so far to
explain the relative decline Of
Legislative sa compared with ex-
ccutive authority the world over.
President Wilson, viewing the
matter historically, did not set the
pace in this direction at Wash
ington. It was Mr.. Roosevelt
who began, in anything like a
wholesale way, to como before
congress with legislation orig
mating at the White house and
only needing Interpretation" or
formal statement by senators and
Representatives,. S. Monitor.

The Owen Engineering and
Construction company received a
shipment OF 1000 feet or one and
one fourth miles of conduit for
the new high school building,
which they will install as soon as
work is resumed on the building.
They also received several new
electric ranges, which are beau
ties. The light plant of this city
has made new low rate on cleo
trio current for cooking purposes.
On account of this low rate Mr..
Owen has many prospects Of sales
of electric ranges.

ONE SUMMER IN MAINE

AS the Italians say: Good company
| in a journey makes the way to seem
| the shorter.
We were in truth teThree Jolly Bur-
schen'' when we started out with our
seven league boots to see and do
Maine. Stevenson has written 'sland-
scape on walking tour is quite aces
scry" and Stevenson is the artist of
artists where walking is concerned.
| No one can read his Travels With a
Donkey" without feeling at once the
delight of the open road and the
breath of the air in his lungs.
Maine is a. grand, wonderful country
to the true lover OF nature; there are
SO many varied Kaleidoscope changes
tC suit the moods of the tourist, from
the placid waters of its lakes to the
huge waves that dash in fury over
"the stern and rockbound coast"
Rock-girt Monhegan has certainly
attained a fame among artists and
nature lovers, that few islands possess.
This grand old island is twenty miles
out to sea. quite alone in it's isolated
grandeur. AS the little island is only
two and half miles long and one
mile wide, the bracing air of the At
lantic blows right over it, from shore
to shore, unpolluted by any land
breeze.
Monhegan consists of a hamlet Of
QnG nSaoI AUX, Will only Oll0
rough street very attractive in its
hemeiy quality. with it's undress, shirt
sleeve effect. One small white church
a. the top Of the hill looked like q
mother hen summoning her brood I'M
der her wing. The live stock consist
ed of two horses, three cows and a
much bewildered fly that had CHANGED
into our very Immaculate dining room.
In my arm chair reverieS I have only
to close my eyes and the beautiful
island looms up before me, with its
great rock fortresses over one hundred
and fifty feet high, that the sea bat
ters against madly. as if trying to
bring them down from their towering
heights. Sometimes friendly rain
bow would make fairyhke bridges
Fl ON rock to rock. and when the spray
mixed with these prfsmatic colors the
effect was indescribable.
The sun, spray and foam formed q
castle of rainbow tints until Mother
Nature in that firm but mild way one
reads about gathered them all up in a
cloud and all drifted away into space.
Right across, at the left of AIonhegan
ing over one hundred feet from the
water like a great sentinel of the
harbor. Fishing is the only industry
on the island, and the Monheganites
mint the sea into treasure ample for
their use. 1t is by the largess Of the
sea they live, and day after day we
watched the dories return laden with
cod, paddock, and mackerel, and list
ened spell-bound to the many incred-
ulous tales told by the doughty fisher
folk. as they proudly showed us their
haul.
"a most simple people. They have
increased their freedom by relaxing
their wants. and for them life has
few complexities. Surely the sea and
their own traditions and ideals have
given them a certain wealth Of con-

tent which is lacking in many better
known communities.
At the southern end of the island
is q detached rock called Washer
woman's Rock because Of the thumb
ering surf that dashes against it to a
never ending symphony of sight and
sound.
1t is certainly inspiring to see this
gray, grim laundress send away to
the eternal wash the suds of the At
lantic.
II we are surfeited with water
views, we have only to cross TO the
other side of the Island, where the
beautiful Cathedral woods lure us on
to greener fields and pastures new.
Peter Pen, himself from the Never
Never Land could not find more de-
light among the trees than did we in
those sylvan woods, with vistas of the
ocean. framed thro' the interstices of
the trees. like some wonderful ma
rine Painting, whose brush is welded
by Divine Hand. The shadows of
the leaves played and fecked in
the sunlight like a shadow dance of
little birds, while overhead the woods
were filled with the many songs of
''The Choir Invisible"
How true it is that pleasant trifies
make the sum OF pleasant hours?"
We are told Captain John Smith
made call on the island and it was

Before he anchored in its little harhor
other explorers had been there, among
them the Pilgrims from Plymouth
for the corn tina. saved them from
starvation in 1922. Our sojourn was
only too brief we felt, the morning we
took the May Archer" that makes
its daily trip from Boothbay Harbor
to Monhegan. Such wonderful sail,
past Christmas Cove and many IN
teresting bits of Maine and later on
that recalcitrant river, the Kennebcc,
with it's fascinating wooded island
all along the route.
Portland, our next objective point is
wen termed the Venice of America
Located on peninsula and crowned
by two hills, the city and It's envir-
ons are so varied in their scenic
charm; that they form view Of blue
sea, silver sands and green capped
mountains. In its extreme beauty we
lost sight of its commercial value as a
port of export and import for both
America and Canada, with one Of the
finest harbors in the world. AS a
place of residence this Forest City,
SO appropriately called because of Its
beautiful parks. and trees is ideal.
The broad elm bordered streets are
clean and well kept and there seems
TO be none Of the s,xualor found in
other towns. Like Puck we girdled
