The Legend

Inc Legend
Its legend runs like romance. In
the time of Aztec rule an Indian di-
vinity was worshipped on the spot
where the Church now stands. One
morning, in 1881, Juan Diego, a poor
Indian peasant started for mass. AS
he approached the hill called Tepeyac,
he heard the music Of angels, so grand
and so sweet that he was enthralled.
Falling on his knees uttering a pray
er and raising his eyes to the hill, he
saw a lovely vision-a lady, who in
gentle tones told him to arise and
tell the Bishop that 1t was her will
that in this place a temple should be
built in her honor Happy and con-
fused, Diego hastened to the prelate
and told his story. only to be dis
missed with incredulity. Diego was
discouraged and started to return
home when he again saw the lady,
more beautiful than ever. standing in
front Of q rock and for the second
time she commanded him to do her
bidding, but TO no avail for the prelate
was obdurate.

Shaken Up By High
Voltage Electric Shocks

While in the work of trying to To-
cate wire trouble between Augusta
and Waterville, two members of the
Central Maine Power Co. crew, Mr..
Trask of the Augusta crew and the
foreman of the Waterville crew re-
ceived shocks from electricity Tues
day morning The two men were
working on the poles, several miles
apart, and in testing out. the high
voltage became connected with the
private telephone wire of the COM
pany. Mr. Trask was not injured by
the shock. He simply slid down the
pole and on reaching the ground he
was all right. The Waterville man,
however, was knocked unconscious
from the pole and it was necessary
to give him artificial respiration to
bring him to. His only injury was a
burn on the fingers of one of his
hands.

Everything is ready for, the base
ball game at Brunswick this after
noon when Cony will cross bats in
the first out-of-town game of its
schedule. Brunswick High it is un-
derstood, has fine combination, but
the Augusta boys are ready for the
battle and will put up a great fight.
Brunswick won her first game with
the Cabots of that town on last Sat
urday and showed some great speed
on the diamond. However. Coach
Thompson has great confidence in the
ability Of his men and thinks that
they will be able to turn the tide in
their favor. Brennan will be in the
box for Cony. with Austin for his
back stop, and the rest of the line up
will be the same as in the game of
last Saturday with Morse High of
Bath.
The boys will make the trip by
automobile, leaving Augusta at IL

large bunch of loyal rooters will ac-
company the team.

TALLY the same declarations.
French unofficial opinion regards
the German proposals as vague and
as, tending to prolong the uncertain
ty and confuse the discussion rather
than to clarity the situation. 1.
No communication from Washing
ton regarding the German proposition
had reached here up to this evening
it was said at the foreign office. The
text as received here came from Ber-

commented upon officially until Prem
Ter BRAND gives the Washington
governments views Of them.
Copies of telegramse from Berlin,
giving the official summary of the Of

terms set forth were animatdly dis

that the offer was absurdly INSULT

1t was pointed out that the only
cash offered by the Germans was $780,
