DEATH REVEALS NAME
OF A GOOD WILL DONOR

Hirckley. Me, March 13.-(SpeciaD.-
In the Spring of 1914, G. w. Hinckley,
supervisor Of the Good Will Home AS
sociation announced the gift of a new
home for girls. The structure was to
be built at once at the cost of $4,000,
and the donor. following the example
of Mr.. Edwin Bancroft Foote Of New
York City. who gave the Bancroft
Foote House. ard Mrs. Tracy w. Nc
Gregor Of Detroit. Mich, who gave the
Whitney Home" both of these for
boys, the donor of this home for girls
pledged an endowment of s45,0O0. OF
this amount $4,000 was to be paid in
1915 and 100000 in 1916
The nime of the donor was TO be
withheld from the public until the final
pledge rad beer made. Ground was
broken for tho building in commence
ment week 1914 and the building was
completed to tie satisfaction Of all CON
cerned and dedicated in 1915 and opened
TO the girls on September I.
Because the name bv which tha
building was 10 be known could not be
annoEnced without making known the
identity Of the donor, the structure. ha~
bcen Known as the New Hall" ana il
has tooE occupied since the day of its
deGicatioD. by Il family of fifteen girls
at Coco VIII! it has also been home
for the teachers in the girls depart
ment. in the Coed Will schools.
Before il was dedicated the donor
provided bronze tablet which is to he
placed in the vcstibule of the home
this tablet fixes the name of the home,
and Of course reveals the name Of the
donor. The tablet has been IN the GUS
tody Of Supervisor Hincllley and his
wife for the past two years. and so far
as they know not anyone but the donor
and Themselves knows the inscription
which il bears.
The name of the donor would have
been made public in the closing days of
nouncement made until the final pledge
Of 100000 had been paid and when the
time came 10 pay it the donor was
unable to attend to the de-
tails and it was evident that matters
must rest as they were during the do
nor'S lifetime.
Ore Of the greatest benefactors Good
VIII has ever had. was the donor Of tho
New Hall" SO called, Mrs. Caroline {;
Redineton who died in Skowhegan
Friday, March 9, and whose obituar,
has already appeared m local papers.
Many years ago. Mrs. Redington sent
a check for fifty dollars to Good Will:
this was followed a year later by
check for two hundred dollars. and one
day the Supervisor received a request
that he call on Mrs. Redington, who. at
that time was living in Brooklyn. n. Y.
He responded to- the call and Mrs Red
ington informed him that in her will
she had arranged for an endowed home
for girls al Good Will Farm. and it was
possible that she might decide to build
it during her lifetime. In 1914 Mrs.
Redir.gton instructed the Supervisor to
build and the structure which has
been called the New Hail. is hence
forth to be known as the "Gilman- Red
ington." The bronze tablet reads as
follows:
"The Redineton- Gilman Memorial
Erected and endowed
In loving remembrance Of Isaac Red
Ington, and his wife Elizabeth Gilman, !
Of Waterville Maine.

A song of sorrow as wild and shrill
As the homeless wind when it roams
the hill,
So full of fears, so loud and long,
That the grief of the world seemed
turned to song.
"But soon there came through the
weeping night
a glimmering angel clothed in
white,
And he rolled the stone from the
tomb away
Where the Lord of the earth and
heavens lay,
And Christ arose in the cavern's
gloom
And in living luster came from the
tomb.
Nov, the bird that sang in the
heart of the tree
Beheld this celestial mystery,
And its heart was filled with sweet
delight,
And it poured a song on the throb-
bling night.
Notes climbed on notes till, higher
and higher,
They shot to heaven like spears of
fire.
when the %glittering, white robed
angel heard
The sorrowing song of the grieving
bird
And heard the following chant of
mirth
That hailed Christ risen again on
earth
He said, Sweet bird, be forever
blest-
Thyself, thy eggs and thy moss
wreathed nest!'
and ever, my child, since that
blessed night,
When death bowed down the Lord
Of light,
The eggs of that sweet bird change
their hue
And burn with red and gold and
hire,
Remindin7 mankind in their simple
way
Of the holy marvel of Easter day"

among our prisoners that the epidemic
of typhus did not have more victims.
In her hospital she continually nursed
20 per cent of our soldiers. Those who
recovered were well nourished and CIV
en- clean linen and shoes before they
were sent to the prison camp. The at
tendants in her hospital she recruited
entirely out of u soldiers, who were
well fed and housed. She always gave
them clean linen, good clothes and good
shoes. Lady Paget repeatedly visited
our prison camp and did all she could
to induce the Servians TO be humane in
their treatment of our people. The
lady herself was the soul of the mis-
sion.
"As a result of Lady Paget's friend
ly treatment of the Austro-Hungarian
prisoners she became the victim of sus-
picion in England and had to justify
herself In a London meeting. There
she declaFed-for We have read the
speech which she made there-that she
would continue her activity and if the
standpoint that she took was not ac-
ceptable she would give up her post as
the leader of this mission"
Lady Paget is American born, the
daughter of Paran Stevens, at III
time owner of the fremont House in
Boston. Her husband is General Sir
Arthur H. Paget. Lady Paget's bene-
factions have been remarkable. Dur
ing the Boer wal she equipped a hos
pital ship and called it the Maine. She
made a great collection of furniture of
the period of James 1. for the James
town exposition. She has been ex-
tremely popular in British society, par
ticularly in the reign of Edward VII.

FOR THE CHILDREN.
How to Make Raffia Dolls on Stormy
DAYS.,

If you have been making raffia bas-
kets or picture frames save some of
the leftover pieces of rafia for the
children. They can make a whole fam
lily of dolls from them.
For a good sized father or mother
doll the strips should be about four
teen inches long and plain colored.
Just in the center tie them with a
colored bit of raffia. The number of
the strips you use will depend upon
how fat you want your doll.
Next double the raffia over exactly
in two and tie again about an inch
from the top. Now you have the dolls
head. Tie again at the waist and cut
the skirt off evenly at the bottom If
it is to be a lady doll.
If it is a man separate the raffia
at the waist and tie his trousers at
the bottoms.
For arms put a few strands of raf-
fla through the body and tie at the
wrist and shoulder. Your raffia must
be long enough Tor both arms.
The children of the rafia family will
be made the same way, but smaller.

Legend Of
easter Gggs

Tn~ RINITY bells, with their hol-

And their vibrant lips and their
brazen tongues,
Over the roofs of the city pour
Their Easter music with joyous roar
Till the soaring notes to the sun are
rolled
As he swings along in his path of
gold.
Dearest Pans" says my boy to me
As he merri4y climbs ON his mothers
knee,
"Why r these eggs that you see
me hold
Colored so finely with blue and gold?
And what is hat wonderful bird
that lays
Such beautiful eggs on Easter
days?'
"You have heard, my boy, of the
Man who died,
Crowned with keen thorns and cru.
Gifted,
And how Joseph, the wealthy
whom God reward
Cared for the corpse of the martyred
Lord,
And piously tombed it within the
rock,
And closed the gate with a mighty
block.
"Now, close by the tomb a fair tree
grew,
With pendrlous leaves and blossoms
of blue,
And deep in the green trees shad-
owy breast
A beautiful singing bird sat on her
nest,
Which was borderel with moses,
like malachite,
And held four eggs of an ivory
white.
"Now, when the bird from her dim
recess
Beheld the Lord in his burial dress
And looked on the heavenly face so
rale
And the dear feet pierced with cruel
nail,
Her heart nigh broke with a sudden
pang,
And out Of the depths of her sorrow
she sang.
"All night long till the noon was up
She sat and sang in her moss

A reading of the card, which is.

hardships. The rules are concise and
simple. Less wheat, meat, milk, fats,
sugar and fuel. More fruit, vege-
tables, foods that are not suitable to
be sent to camps or firing lines. No

no eating by anyone Of more food
than is needed. Buying food that is
