"cavs-Man Stuff"
, We love it. yes indeed-in books
. This subtle wooing with a hammer,
Though hard upon the ladys looks.
Excitement lends the thing glamour.
For We adore these savage lovers;
We have lot of them at home
Each safe between two pasteboard
covers.
We love it. yes indeed-in plays.
Bring on your cave-man-we are will
ing.
His brutal. rough-and-ready ways
Are, frightfully DIRECT and thrilling.
We SILVER while the lovely Maude
Is rudely banged about by Cyril.
And as we fervently applaud.
We COO in ecstasy, How virile:'
But should our men take your advice
+ I'd hate to see the dears begin IT'D
a very little would Sufhce-
/ We couldn't stand it for minute.
OF Spanish maids l cannot speak
But ours would find it past endurance.

; winter and that during the fall of
1910, more than nine years ago, is
rather striking, as shown by a dis

received in October. 1910, which Mr.
Smith recently showed the editor

cost Of raising potatoes isn't much
the same now as it was in 1910.
| Isn't it the height of absurdity for
good hay to be shipped from this
station to Boston and other hay
shipped into Pennington from Ken
nebec points for sale and consump-
ton here? The marketing question
is big one and involves the cost
queStion.-Farmingto Journal.
! The law sometimes seems to do
funny things. Listen. Three men
are taken into court at Pennington
! from Bemis. on the charge of lille
gal possession of intoxicating liquor.
They were discharged. it being
shown that they had no liquor at
| all. They had found a hidden bot
! tie and sampled the contents. with
the result that one had a burned
mouth and throat, with his swallow:
while the others had burned noses
from contact while smelling and
guessing what the contents might
be. The stuff proved to be some
kind OF cleaning fluid. composed
| largely of some powerful acid. And
they were hailed into court.
Said a X. j. man to Supt. G. w.
Bowie, Of the A. & X. Street Railway:
Say, you've got a regular seaside
summer tan and are looking as fit
as a fiddle" The super, who is
known as Bill" laughed. as he re-
piled: It's funny one. l was
sick abed with what seemed like a
double distilled dose of the Flu on
the 4th day of February: got out of
bed at 3 o'clock that afternoon and
got into the game of fighting the
snow, ice. rain, Sleet and wind; been
at it day and night ever since, with
pick and shovel, on foot, teams ana
plows; wet through TO the skin day
after day, sometimes without having
my clothes off for two or three days;
forgot all about the Flu; haven't had
a sick day since; worked off about
IL pounds Of surplus flesh and am
hard as nails. Coin some, eh?"
Police Officer Tanning was active
in the operations which resulted last
fall in Selling several stocks of ex-
tracts from Lubec stores, on sus-
picion of illegal sales. Selectman

anonymous letter. warning him not

penalty of having all the public
buildings in town blown up with
dynamite. Somewhat Bolshevistic
