The pitcher had some funny pains
All up and down his wing,
And every time he tossed the pin
It hurt like everything.
Time after time he failed to check
The hostile batsmen's blows,
And ever and anon his slants
Were busted on the nose.
The manager made up his mind
This guy would have 10 go;
The pitcher knew his days We're short,
Sensed the impending blow.

And said. "YOur teeth are bum;

And out they'll quickly come"
The pitcher had his molars yanked
There Were at least a score.

He'd made a bad mistake

BEVERLY S. STAPLES

Beverly S. Staples died suddenly of
heart failure in Lynn, Mass, on Dec. 9th,
the day following his 74th birthday, and
one week after a visit to relatives in
Brooks and Monroe and to friends at
Citypoint, his former home Mr.. Staples
was born in Belmont, Dec. 5th, 1916, the
son of the Rev. Simon and Sarah Wood
bury) Staples. In 1850 they moved to
Monroe, where Mr.. Staples resided until
about 1895, when with his family he
moved to Citypoint, Belfast, living there
until last September. In 1868 Mr.. Staples
married Olive A. Rich of Monroe, who
survives him, with one son, Arthur B,
Staples Of Lynn, Mass, and one daughter,
Mrs Bradbury F. Gushing of Saugus,
Mass. He is also survived by two broth
ers, Asbury A. Staples of Winterport and
Charles B. Staples of Butte, Montana,
and by two sisters, Mrs. Rufus A. Colson
and Mrs. Nathaniel Twombly of Monroe.
Mr.. Staples was good citizen, a kind
neighbor and loving husband and faith
er. OF an unusually active an energetic
disposition he was always busy and dur
ing the last ten years of his residence at
Citypoint took great satisfaction in i'm
proving and beautifying the home which
he built there, making it and its sur
roundings delight to the eye and an
ornament to the town. Last September
Mr.. and Mrs. Staples moved to Saugus,
Mass, to make their home with their
daughter, and on the day of his death Mr..
Staples had spent the afternoon with his
son in Lynn. While walking to the car

Railroad Lease

A committee consisting of President
Selwyn Thompson, representing the Bel
fast & Moosehead Lake Railroad Com
pany; Alderman R. L. Cooper, Council
man Ralph H. Howes, and myself, repre-
senting the city, were in conference in
Portland on Saturday, December 1lth,
with Mr.. Maurice Mcdonald, President
of the Maine Central Railroad Company,
regarding the Belfast & Moosehead Lake
Railroad Company lease situation.
Mr.. Mcdonald outlined to the COM
mittee very frankly and fully the operat-
ing, earning and financial conditions
which confront the Maine Central at this
time. He advised that the Maine Cen
tral was in no situation at the moment
to consider permanent adjustment of
the relations by either lease or purchase,
but that it was the desire of the Maine
Central, when conditions were ironed
out, to purchase the road f r cash or it's
equivalent.
lie suggested temporary extension of
the lease at the same price of $36, 900 per
year, either party having the option to
discontinue the arrangement on six
months notice. This suggestion appeal
ed to the Committee as probably the
most practical course to be followed at
this time, and undoubtedly the City Gov
ernment will recommend to the Direc-
tors of the Belfast & Moosehead Lake
Railroad Company that such an extern
sion of the present lease be made.
The matter of obtaining appl OK imately
the correct estimate of the earnings of
our branch was also considered, and def
mite steps are to be taken to obtain that
information.
On behalf of the Belfast City Council,
c. w. WESCOTr, Mayor.
