cal life and conditions in Maine. In or
der to get the true Maine character
Miss Barbara Dunn. daughter of Hon

Of the Philadelphia team for the season
of 1917 said in part: 1.-THE chances for
Lawry to make good this year are
very strong. He and another lad by the
name of Grover. will be alone at sec
ond base, and the honor of defending
the second sack will lie between the
two. Lawry last year was sick a great
err part of the season, and was forced
to quit along the end of the year and
undergo a surgical operation. He is, a
fast runner, a clean fielder and more
than the ordinary hitter, and his
chances for beating out Grover for sec
ond base look good.

this year as general utility man and

Boston: Maude Andrews Lincoln, an
aunt, Boston; Miss Laughlin, Port
land; Mr.. and Mrs. B. Stetson and Mrs.
Walter Clark, Houlton. The flowers
were most profuse and beautiful.
Quantities of them surrounded the

fragrance and consolation. The bear
ers were Harry Wellington, NJ. B. Hay

George Perry and George p. Larrabec,
who bore the casket tenderly to the
receiving tomb in Paramount cemetery.
During the funeral services the stores
