Maine Gossip
Good and Clever.

If all the good people we're clever,
And all the clever people were good.
The world would be nicer than ever r
We thought that it possibly could.
But somehow, tits seldom or never
The two hit it off as they should:
The good are so harsh to the clever,
The clever SO rude to the good.
So, friends, let it be our endeavor
To make each by each understood,
For few can be good like the clever,
Or clever, so well as the good!

The death in London, Eng, Friday
morning, Nov. "a, of Sir Hiram Maxim
draws attention to our town, where he
was born Feb. s. 1910. His birthplace wae
at Brockway's Mills. the place which was
later owned by Cyrus Brockway. No
buildings are on the farm at the present
time, the early home having been taken
down and parts of it utilized in the con-
struction of the house now owned and
occupied by Clarence Richards. Sir Hi
rams parents at one time lived in the
house now owned by Mrs II. .. Gray on
the corner lot, opposite Sanders grocery
store in this village. Sir Hiram was
an own cousin to George II. Maxim who
formerly resided here, and visited this
town with his wife and daughter on his
last trip to this country in the summer
of 1898. 1t Is said Of Sir Hiram that he
never forgot the old friends OF his youth
and loved to relate anecdotes of his early
life in this locality. A letter written 20

SOCIALIST NEWSPAPER
NOT EXEMPT FROM TAX
Court Holds Forward" Is Not
Exclusively Educational.

A socialist newspaper is not within
the provision of the law that eIempts
educational institutions from taxation.
The Forward Association, publisher Of
the Yiddish newspaper Forward"
sought exemption on its property at
17S and 175 East Broadway on the
ground that the association "was or
ganized and existed exclusively for
educational purposes and for the moral
and mental improvement Of men and
women" The Appellate Division yes
terday handed down a decision holding
that this ground was not well taken,
thus sustaining Justice Platzek, in the
Supreme Court, that the socialist organ
did not come within the prescribed
exemption. The city taxed the FOR

AVIATOR TO BOMB

Thompson Will Show in

De Lloyd Thompson. who. with MS

ington an exciting ten minutes Jew
nights ago, is here 20 startle some OF
New York's chronic pacitists out OF
their coma. Some night this week,
probably when the theatre crowds are
on the streets, he will pelt the city with
explosives from his seroplane until
every one from the Battery to fonkers
gets an idea Of the dangers OF UMPIRE
paredness.
A warlike roar Of exploding bombs
will be the announcement OF his ar
rival. No one but Thompson knows
when the raid will take place. Some
night when conditions are best and ne
is so disposed he will Chamber into MS
Day Tractor and sweep over the city at
the rate OF seyenty-five miles an hour'
dropping twenty or thirty bombs tow
ard the principal buildings and streets

powerful to be heard for six miles.

real aeroplane and not kite.
BLEW White House Up
In Washington he theoretically blew
the White House off the map, reduced
the mint and the Treasury TO dust and
set fire 10 the business district, while
the government anti-aircraft search
lights tried vainly TO pick him out OF
the skies. In ten minutes, while the
population wondered in amazement
what was happening, he dropped twelve
bombs. He also showed the authorities
that their new searchlights were not
all that was expected OF them. After
the wreck, with magnesium fires burn
ing. he looped and pirouetted his ma
chine around the Washington Monu-
ment.
Thompson is one of the few "Supe-
rior Brevet" aviators in the country,
and he is also the youngest.
Thompson intends TO lombard the
twenty largest cities in the country be
fore he finishes his campaign for a
strong air force. His fights are fl
nanced by men who are working for
preparedness. The aeroplane with which
he made his flight in Washington IS
due here to-day.
