later the boys were astonished to see
one of the dogs appear at home weak
from lack of nOurishment and scarce
ly able to walk. His nails literally
were worn off from constant digging.
The boys then went to the cave-in
and dug in the hope that they could
save the other dog. After digging
about two feet in the earth they heard
means and soon the other dog was
rescued, after he had dug himself that
close to liberty.
Neither of the dogs would eat at
first and would only drink milk. Then
they began to seek food and ate it
ravenously.

HISTORICAL PAGEANT OF SEARSPoRT In
place of graduation exercises the school chill
dren of Searsport are to present an historical
pageant of the town this, Thursday, evening
under the direction of Mr.. J. A. Linehan Prln-
cipal of the High school. The pageant was ar
ranged and coached by Mr.. Linehan, with the
assistance of the other teachers, and the enter
tainment offers pleasing change from the
customary graduation exercises. A large num-
Der of children from the different schools are
to take part and each group is being trained by
its own teacher. Situated on one of the most
beautiful bays in the world. Searsport is rich in
historical and nautical lore which furnishes
excellent material for pageant. The towns
history is counterpart of the history of United
States shipping. Searsport is one of the Oldest
and most famous of the old shipbuilding towns
on the coast and has built many famous ships.
At one time in its heyday Searsport had built
one tenth of all the ships then in the carrying
trade. The Pageant first represents the Indians
who spent the summer seasons along the coast
of this wonderful bay: the coming of the ex-
porers Smith and Verrazano and the possession
of the. land by Gen. Waldo are then represented.
The coming of the settlers. the establishment
of the town. the churches, and the schools will
be fittingly represented. The Age of Prosperity,
when shipbuilding its height, is mostly
presented in allegory, Increased interest is
derived from the fact that many of the children
taking part are the direct descendants of the
men who made the name of Searsport familiar
in every port in the world.
