Talk" series of articles on various farm
topics, which was dedicated to 5. l..
Boardman, then an associate editor on the
Maine Farmer and a very close friend
For many years he made meteorological
observations for the department at Wash
ington; and had kept diary of the
weather and leading events of a lifetime.
He was well informed entomologist,
having made it study for years and had
several fine cases of specimens which he
presented to the University of Maine.
whatever concerned Belfast and it's best
interests. He always gave literally to
those in need and his personal comfort
was his last consideration. When about
10 years of age he had rheumatic fever
which caused hip trouble, leaving him
lame for life. Twenty-Five years ago he
had partial shock and since then he had
mingled little in public or social life. He
had been confined to his bed for ten
weeks and in this trouble and throughout
his married life he received the unremit-
ting devotion of a loyal and true wife.
Although deprived of social life in any
form he was still able to read his daily
papers and keep posted on all current
events, rejoicing particularly in the prog
ress of prohibition, his lifelong interest.
To know Mr.. Bracket was to know a
man loyal to the core, true to his friends
and to any and all causes he espoused.
He has always been a staunch Republi-
can and an ardent prohibitionist-alwa
with the lower-case "p" His home was
one-of the most peaceful spots on earth,
''The Three Elm Cottage" He is sur
vived by his widow, formerly Miss Eliza
beth L. Browne of Belfast and one
brother, Albert E. Bracket, who lives on
the Bracket farm in South Belfast. The
funeral will take place at his late home
this, Thursday, at 2 p. M, Rev. Walter
T. Hawthorne of the Congregational
church, where in former years he was an
attendant, officiating.

He was a reporter in the State Senate

was elected Register of Deeds for Waldo
County for five years. For fourteen years
he was a member of the State Board
of Agriculture and for about twelve years
he was one of the trustees of the Maine
State Fair, having charge of the hall.
His activities in Good Templary made
him known beyond the confines of the
Pine Tree State and wherever the Order
is known. Few men have exerted so
strong personality and powerful will in
the cause. He organized many of the
subordinate lodges and the jackson lodge
was named for him. He was Grand Sec
retary of the Maine Good Templars for
about thirty-four years and edited and
printed the Maine Temperance Record
for SO years. For many years he con-
Quoted the Brackett Printery on Main

journal under VIM. II. Simpson and the

CHAPTER XII,
The Rose Girl

you never done much fancy
Ipick handle exercise, did you"
asked Overland, the next morning,
as he and Billy were burning the
dead prospector's things. The
tramp explained 1t was better to
have no tract of a former locator
about. He shrewdly concluded
the claim had never been filed on,
and that he and Billy had a per-
feet right to stake 1t out as their
own.
Winthrop was busy poking the
fire, and smiling over his compan-
ions Joy in the claim which Over
land predicted would yield 5000 a
day IL they both worked. Win
throp not answering, Overland re-
peated his question about exercise.
"No, but I'm going to-" said the
fastener. This beats signing
checks all to pieces"
Meyer got cramps that way my
SELF" grunted Overland. But
l have from swingin' a pick. Three
of us could do a heap better than
two. | wish Collie was on the
job"
"I'm wiling said Winthrop.
"'Course you are, but you get
your half of this as agreed. Col
lies share comes out of my half"
Winthrop glanced quickly at
Overland's inscrutable' face. Sup
pose l should tell you that my in
come, each week, is about equal
to what we expect to get from this
claim"
makes no difference" growled
Overland. 1T wasn't your money
that stood off the constable-and
later out in the desert. 1t was
Iyou. They's some places left on
this old map yet where a man is
jest what his two fists and his
head is worth. This here Mojave
is one of 'em. Are you squeak to
Ithat?"
They worked steadily until even
ing. They staked out their respect
i've and adjoining claims, dropped
the rusted tools in a bottomless
crevice, and removed the last shred
and vestige of a previous occu-
lpancy.
This here's been too easy" said
lOverland, as he sliced bacon for
the evening meal. when things
comes as easy as this, you want to
watch out for a change in the
weather. We amt through with
the bunch yet"
The fastener, making the even
ing fire, nodded. "How are we to
II get provisions?" he asked.
First, was thinking OF packin'
'em In from Gophertown, over yon-
der. She's about 80 miles from
here, across the alkaH. But II we
,got to comm in regular, they'd
smell gold quicker than bees
findin' orange blossoms. I reckin
