Name GOSSIP
Afterwards.
(By Samuel Valentine Cole Of the
Figilantes.)
When the wars last battle is done and
the smoke has rolled away,
And the things that were hidden from
sight stand forth il the glare OF
day
When reason returns to its place, and
YOU balance accounts again,
The loss and the gain together-pray,
how will it seem to you then?
II
When everywhere ruin on ruin comes
solemnly out to view,
And the nations of all the earth are
pointing the finger at you
When the vision OF souls of the slain
rises silent as mist of the sea.
And they ask you the cause Of il ALL
oh, what will your answer be?
When the records no hand can erase.
and the motives all hearts must re-
veal,
Go up to be Judged at last in the Court
of the Final Appeal,
Where only the truth will survive, and
every falsehood and fraud
Must vanish like chaff in the flame
then. what can you say to God?
The small boy is again realizing that
considerable pocket money may be
picked up by gathering scrap metal and
waste paper. but we don't hear much
about gathering refuse bones, as was
custom years ago.
Listen! Some Bath people are already
talking about "annexing Brunswick"
Wow,
Many people from Boothbav harbor
to Waterville have been heard to re-
mark that during last weeks magnifi-
cent display Of Northern lights, they
thought at first that q. very powerful
searchlight was being used somewhere
to throw its rays of light into the
heaven. so sharply defined and powerful
was the shaft of light seen. coming
from a westerly direction. Some are
now wondering if they did not see the
light from that machine the n an was
testing on Mt. Washington and for
which he was hauled up by the authori-
ties, having neglected to secure permis-
sion or even notify them of its intent.
Prospects for road building in sew
eral towns that are traversed by the
Ossippee Trail are brighter and it is
probable that Cornish Parsonsfield
and Porter will build their portions
and possibly Limington also. Steps
are being taken in these three towns
to organize crews sufficiently large
to undertake these enterprises and to
begin work at once. 1t is said that
residents off the lines which the trail
follow, both from Gorham by way OF
and from Standish by way of Bald
win. Hiram, Brownfield and Frye
burg. oppose this highway improve
ment through fear that it may inter-
fere with traffic on another important
line in some degree parallel. There
is little likelihood that the project
will be checkmated, however, even if
in any section this summer or fall.
The gross fund. State and town COM
bined, is on deposit in the bank and
expenditures are wholly within the
control of the State Highway Com
mission.
1t is reported that DR.. Lionel e.
Dudley, undoubtedly the most famous
prisoner in the State prison at Thom-
aston, broke his leg on Sunday while
playing baseball. DR.. Dudley was
tried for the murder of Mildred Sulli-
van. a pretty Houlton girl who was
visiting in Presque Isle. He pleaded
guilty to manslaught at the close Of
the fourth day of the trial and was
sentenced to from 10 to 90 years.
Recent visitors to Georgetown who
were berrying in the vicinity Of Cros-
bys mills, ran across a grave stone
which bore the date of 1911 and the
name of JeWett was all that was dis
cernible on the stone, which had be-
come moss covered and gray with
age Older residents thought that
this must have been the grave of Ste
phen Jewett who would have died
about that year. It stood alone un-
der a tree, and proba bly, at one time
was near his home, long decayed.
The Sea and Shore Fisheries Com

practically all of the fish wardens on
the Maine coast held a conference at
Eockland recently to discuss syste-
