LOST WOMAN HERE.
Does Not Know Her Own Name or
Where Her Home Is.

Sheriff Wescott of Ellsworth is
still awaiting some clue to the iden-
tity of the woman whom he has been
caring for since Sunday, when she
was landed in Ellsworth by an auto
mobile party which picked her up
near Phillips Lake at her request,
and brought her to Ellsworth. After
wandering aimlessly about the
streets for some hours, Sheriff Wes-
colt took her in charge, and is still
entertaining her at the jailhouse,
though she is not under arrest.
The woman is about seventy years
of age, shabbily dressed, of large
build, and had with her a number Of
cheaply-bound bibles which she said
she was selling, She had rs cents
in money, She is apparently de-
ranged, and is unable to tell her
name, her home or her friends. When
questioned. she wanders off uncon-
nectedly and irrelevantly, though us
ing good language.
Though her detention here has
been given wide publicity in the pa
pers of the State, so far Sheriff Wes-
colt has not received one faint clue
to her identity

SPRINGFIELD EXPOSITION.
Maine Wins Honors in Big Agricul-
tural Show.

Maine was well represented at the
Eastern States Exposition of America
held at Springfield, Mass, last week.
The stock or pig demonstration team
from Hancock county, consisting of
Ralph Young of Hancock, Horace
Estey of Ellsworth and Donald Lord
of East Surry, took third place in
the demonstration competition
against teams representing all the
other eastern states. Considering
the short time which County Agent
Bridges had for training them, this
was a very good showing. The
potato-judging team representing
Maine3 and coming from Aroostook
county, took first place in the inter-
state competition in Springfield. This
once more brings Maine into the lime
light as the foremost State.
In the mammoth pageant of the
boys and girls clubs of the eastern
states, held at the exposition on Fri
day, Maine was we'll represented by
an excellent float, which was dec
grated in white and green paper and
bunting, all interviewer with pine
cones and branches. 1t was headed
by sign bearing the State motto
"Dirigo, I'VE lead, others follow. :"
The body was a forest of pine trees,
and this float was considered the best
in the pageant. Great credit for the
success of the float must be given to
Commissioner PhiIbrook of the Maine
State department of agriculture for
his assistance in preparing it.
The State of Maine exhibit, put on
by the department of agriculture. at
tracted great deal of attention and
praise, and will go a great ways in
advertising Maine as an agricultural
State.

Stevenson's Game

The life of Mrs. Robert Louis
Stevenson by her sister, Mrs. Sanchez
which the Scribners have recently
brought out is crammed full of inter
esting personal anecdotes about Steven
son. Here is one which gives a picture
OF his home life and his fondness for
his stepson.
For the long evenings of winter
we had game which Louis invented
expressly for our amusement. Llovd
osoourne, then boy of twelve, had
rather more than the usual boys fond
ness for stories Of the sea. 1t will be
remembered that it was to please this
boy that Mr.. Stevenson afterward wrote
treasure Island Our game was TO
tell continued story, each person
Deing limited to two minutes, taking up
the tale at the point where the one
before him left off. We older ones
had secret understanding that we
were to keep Lloyd away from the sea.
but strive as we might, even though we
left the hero stranded in the middle Of
the Desert of Sahara, Lloyd never
tailed to have him sailing the bounding
main again before his allotted two
minutes expired"

A Study of the Constitution

The Princeton University Press pub
llshed book last month which should
prove Of unusual interest and value at
this time. It's title is "The Constitu-
ton and What 1t Means To-day" The
author is Edward S. Corwin, professor
OF Jurisprudence in Princeton Uniyer-
slty. The title describes the book ex-
actly; it contains the full text of the
Constitution of the United States and
all~amendments, with simple explana-
tlons of all passages as interpreted
during the last 1870 years. When the
idea of this book first suggested itself
to the publishers they began to inves-
tlgate the possible demand. Surpris-
lngly few people own copy of the
Constitution. Apparently no work Of
fers the simple explanation of it that
people want. The pocket-sized book of
lao pages should be extremely valu-
able to every one who desires knowl-
edge and understanding of this great
document, the cornerstone Of our gov
eminent.

"Ladyfingers"
The Story of a Gentleman
Thief

TIME present year is witnessing
the production Of goodly crop
of novels dealing with the
criminal, especially with the gentle
man thief. Among the most interest
ing of these stories is Jackson Greg
ory's "Ladyfingers" (Scribner's), with
it's setting laid in California. The title
Of the novel is the NOM de-guerre of
young safe-breaker who gets away
with large sums Of money and always
eludes capture by the police. In him
is fine strain, that Of real blue blood.
evinced in love for poetry and good
music. His parentage is unknown,
and there is the key to his mystery.
"Ladyfingers" is double-crossed by a
detective in league with a gang Of
thieves, and is caught red-handed while
stealing a diamond pin at a reception
given by the elite of California city.
The old woman at whose house the
event Is staged saves him at the
moment of crisis and he is taken into
her home as secretary. He meets
the girl he later marries in a forest
near this home, and begins to build
life on new lines under the inspira-
ton Of her trust in him. -
Not to spoil this book for possible
readers by revealing more Of its plot,
we will say that while loosely built, too
rich in pages of moralizing, it is I'M
deniably absorbing. BY far the best
character between its covers is the old
millionaire grandmother, Rachael
Stetheril, cantankerous, caustic and. in
the end, magnanimous.

A Peace Conference Diarv
MIR. Thompson Gives Cheerful and Superficial
View of Events at Paris
By William L. Mcpherson

what was the cause Of Secretary Ian
sings painful observation, alluded to
in certain passages?
Extracts are given now and then
from the stenoeraphic minutes of the
council sessions. These whet the APP
petite. What became of the text of
the Presidents famous reply to the
protests of Rumania against the So
called minorities guarantees, on .he
ground that they were obnoxious to her
sovereignty?
The American public was kept in the
dark as to the extent and meaning Of
Mr.. Wilson's work at Paris. He has
since done what he could to withhold
conference material from the Senate
and the country. Every new revela-
ton Of the drift of things in the con-
ference is therefore keenly welcome.
Mr.. Thompson has written an interest
ing book. But it is too bad that he
hasn't added more generously to the
stock OF things which the public wants
to know His method also commits
him too much to the casual, optimistic,
conventional official view of what was
happening while the great task Of the
conference to make peace was being
frustrated.
What seemed cheerful and rainbow
hued enough in the spring of 1919 has
since taken on a sombre and melancholy
aspect
