Ruth Discovers the
Christmas Secret

Ruth had a lot of money in her
little bank. When she opened it
she found five dollars in it,
II was about Christmas time she
had an idea. IF l would spend
my money on fruit and flowers and
give them to the sick people in the
hospital, that would be a nice pres
ent. could even buy little books
for them" So she told her mother
about it. Her mother said, why,
Ruth, you don't mean TO spend
your money on that do you?" "Oh
Mamma, yes Well, then you
may"
So the next time she went to
town, she bought fruit and books.
On Christmas Day her father and
mother took her to the hospital,
and she gave the things to the sick
people. When she was through
her mother took her to a little girl
who could not eat fruit nor look at
books, but there was one thing
Ruth could do for her. Her
mother and father did not tell her
what it was.
But Ruth had q beautiful voice
and could sing very we'll. She
stood beside the little girls bed for
a long time, then she walked slow
" up and began to sing one Of the
beautiful songs she knew. The
little girl was so pleased that she
could not talk. Ruth was very
happy, too.
When she got home, she said,
"Oh, Mamma, | did not know it
would make me happy. l only
thought " would make the sick
people harry"
! think this is Z good lesson for
us: give to others makes one happy. !

misfortunes. II the sheriff can dnd
this unfortunate speculator. a great
light may be shed upon recent hap
penings.
1t is known of all rum runners
along the Canada road that someone
has been furnishing to Sheriff Mooefs
information as to the movements OF
the rum cars over the border, result
ing in the cars over the border, re-
sulting in the seizure of much liquor
and several cars, but this does not
apply to BARLEY. He would be the
last man to tip the sheriff. and Nd
man could have felt revengeful To-
ward him on that score. or course
Rartley might have been mistaken a:
night for an informer, but there
seems no likelihood that anything OF
the kind occurred.
BARLEY was shot by someone ac-
tuated by a very strong motive. and
the crime was evidently planned with
deliberation and with knowledge o:
the man, his affairs and habits. Bart

the other through the back Of the
skull. Whether he turned after the
first shot, or the shot that entered the
back of his head was fred after he
fell. face down, is a matter OF specu-
lation. No revolver was found. sc
the officials say.
On Friday the case into Canada
was explained as undertaken in quest
of man with whom BARLEY had a
fight on the railroad station platform
in Jackman a little while ago. He
gave the man a good licking. and il
was conjectured that the victim may
have felt revenseful enough to get
even by attacking the hotel man q:
night. 1t was reported on TUESDAY
that the victim of Bartley's fists had
been seen in Jackman on the night II
the murder. but this seems to have
been unfounded. He was, according
to latest reports. far over the border
in Canada at the time.
A brand new element was injected
into the story on Friday. when a ran
who from his official position should
know what he is talking about, de.
clared that two married women fig

The BARLEY case has made one
thing perfectly clear. and that is that
the same degree of energy expended
in cities like Gangor, Portland. Au-
gusta and Waterville in running
down stray quarts and pints would
yield wagonloads almost anywhere
along the border.-Bangor News.

RUM ELEMENT
ENTERS JACKMAN
MURDER MYSTERY

Jackman, Oct. 25-Enough has
leaked out from various reservoirs OF
inside" information within the last
"a hours 20 make it appear that the
murder of Nelson w. BARLEY. the
Jackman hotel keeper, is directly
traceable to a speculation in snug
gled whiskey in which the dead man
and two others were concerned, and
which was characterized by some
astonishing trickery and brazen
double crossing"
Men who are we'll informed of all
that happens il the whiskey traffic
along the Canada road say that not
long ago BARLEY and two others
made pool of about $4,000, invest
ed the money in Canadian whiskey,
brought the stuff over the border in
motor cars and hid it in the woods
around Jackman. The stock being
too great for the needs of the local
market, one of the members of the
speculating pool was sent to Water
Vile and Augusta to make arrange
ments for the sale of most of it in
these cities, where thirst for strong
waters is proverbial and perennial.
In all good faith, and with visions
OF big profits before him, the am
bassador started out on his mis-
sion, and it is said that he found
the market down along the Kenne-
bee ready and eager to absorb
floods of Canadian rye at high
prices. But when he got back to
Jackman bad news awaited him. The
booze cupboard was bare The hide
had been robbed of every drop.
That let him out, and also down

First Auto Trip over
New Greenville-Lilly Bay
Road Made on Friday

Greenville Junction. Me-, Oct, 25-
The first auto passed over the new IA
mile road from Greenville to Lily
Bay on Friday, Henry BARLEY. pro-
prietor of the Piscataquis Exchange,
making the initial trip in a Ford.
He left Greenville Junction about :
A. NJ. and was some one and a half
hours reaching Lily Bay. This was
rot due entirely to the condition of
the new road, but to the fact that Mr..
Barley did not take more powerful
car, fearing he might have trouble
with heavy one as the road has not
yet been entirely completed, as the
road is still soft from the recent
rains. This road will revolutionize
conditions as far as travel to Kokad-
Jo. Grant Farm, Chesuncook and
Ripogenous. the big million dollar
dam is concerned for it will enable
the traveller either for the jojy of
the ride or for hunting to reach these
places in his own car. without the
expense and bother of having it put
a
Moosehead lake. 1t is expected that
the section connecting Greenville
with Lily Bay will be ready for pub
lie use early in ovember and this con-
meets at the latter place with the So
mile road to Ripogenous dam. This
beautiful road through the deep
woods was built some years ago by
the Great Northern Paper Co. over
which it hauls in big trucks produce
and supplies to its lumber operations,
or at least to its big farms from
which it is distributed.
In going over the new road on
Friday Mr.. BARLEY encountered but
