OLD FRANKLIN
HISTORIC CRAFT

The wooden warship Franklin, which
is now hauled in at Coney's beach to be
burned>for her metal, has had an in
teresting career, She was built at Kit
terry. Maine. in 1855, six years before
the outbreak of the Civil War, and was
at that time one Of the show ships of
the navy. She is 266 feet in length, 54
feet in width. and "a feet deep, with
portfolios along her sides for several
| tiers Of guns. The timbers used in her
construction were Of live oak In ac-
cordance with the principles Of naval
practice at that time, they were of ex-
tremely substantial proportions, in or
der to Withstand the shattering power
OF the round shot" and shrapnel Of an
enemy's guns.
In the Civil War the Franklin was
| used for blockade duty, and also took
part in several of the commandments of
land ports like those at Mobile and
New Orleans. At the close of the war
she remained one of the most powerful
units in the fleet excepting the iron
clads, and was later used by General
Grant when he made his famous trip
| around the world.
In later days the Franklin was used
as naval training ship. but tw years
ago was found worthless and con-
demned. She filled and sank shortly
, after that, but was raised and finally
sold to the Henry A. Hitner g. Sons
Co.. of Philadelphia for s16,76S. 1t
was necessary to spend considerable
money in making her ready for the sea
trip to Eastport and for the cost of
towing her. SO that she stands her
owners the neat sum of S25 900 and
possibly a little more.
They plan to get much more than this
back. however, in the metal the old
ship contains The Government
stripped her of 45 tons of metal. taken
from the bottom and the interior be-
fore disposing of her, and the present
owners have already taken out about 40
tons in addition to that. She still con-
tains much copper in the form of riv-
cts, etc. and in order to secure this it
is necessary to burn her
To this end, she is being filled with
infiammable material and soaked with
oil. There is large amount Of finish
ing material, cabinets, doors, etc,
about her. which is being removed first,
and this is being bought by local people
for use in the homes and in camps,
etc, for which it is especially we'll fit
ted.
Three other warships Of the Ameri-
| can navy in the days before ironclads
were built have been brought here for
burning. The Wabash was the last,
nesota finished their careers here

School is Worth So a Day

Every day spent in school the chill
dren earn So"
This statement was made by the State
superintendent, c. P. Cary, who bases
his estimate on the official records Of
the bureau Of education at Washington.
Here is what he offers as proof Of the
statement:
''Uneducated laborers earn on the av-
erage $500 year for 40 years. total
of $4,000.
High school graduates earn on an
average $1,000 a year for 40 years. Il
total Of $4,000. e
This education requires twelve years
Of school Of $50 days each, total of
21so days. If 2,160 days at school add
5000 to the income for life, then each
day at school adds $9.o2..
''Forceful as this summarization of
earnings is" said Mr. Cary. ut tells but
one side Of the story-the money side.
Back Of this can be seen improved stan
dards OF living, more Intelligent and pro-
gressive communities and stronger ma
tional ife."-Madisdn ,(Wis.) Dispatch

MAINE j0TTINCS

This Is about a drum 121 years old
Bunker Hill. To be sure, the man who
plays it now wasn't at that famous fight
but he owns the drum and has traced
Its history back through the years S.
A. Mcdaniel, better known as Doc
in Kezar Falls, Me. is the man. The
drum was played by Major Eastman
throughout the Revolution. After the
war the Major, with many other SOL
diers from Massachusetts,, went to
Maine. For many years the drum re-
manned a treasured memento of his
descendants. A dozen years ago Mr..
Mcdaniel secured possession Of it. The
present owner a quarter of a century
ago was one Of the most famous snare
drummers Of Boston and played with
leading musical organizations. He tired
of the life and went to Maine, where
he practiced his profession Of veter-
mary surgeon.
II tell yer I be the homeliest man
on these grounds and them dishes be-
long to me-" shrill Yankee voice
rang through the exhibition hall at
the Cumberland county fair in Co.
ham Thursday. 1t attracted instant
attention. Everybody within earshot
crowded around two men who were
shaking their fists under each others
noses. Both men were red-faced with
anger, and a fight seemed certain.
Charles Baxter of Gorham was the
shrill-voiced one and the other con-
tender for the prize that had been
offered for the homliest man on the
fair grounds was John H. Hughes of
Westbrook." l tell you what I'll do, I'll
leave it to the crowd over there in the
grandstand to decide who is the home
lest" said Hughes. Wen go out
there on the track, let the starter an
nounce what the contest is and the
fellow who. gets the most applause
takes the dishes" This didn't appeal
to the Gorham man. who insisted that
he was not only the homelest man,
but the best fighter thrown in. The
Judges saw trouble ahead, so they
effected a compromise, giving the
dishes to Hughes and smoking set to
Baxter.
