hands. He didn't go very near
him. The moose turned, and went
back up School street Evidently
Mr.. Moose thought that a moose in
Main street, Ellsworth. would be
good subject for a photograph, so
he went up to try to arouse Embert
Osgood, but failed. He walked
through Mr. Osgood's front yard,
stepped over a fence into the gar
den in the rear, and prowled about
that, leaving his tell-tale footprints
in the soft soil. Then he came
back down Main street. This time
he came down as far as the Smith
& Head store. Joe's courage was
better this time. and he walked up
toward the moose for closer in
spectiOn. The moose reluctantly
turned and trotted up Main street
and around the Hancock hall
corner again. Several other early
risers CD about town also saw
the moose. 1t is suggested that it
was getting terribly dry in the
woods, and Mr.. Moose came out to
try to locate some ''home brew"

There was but a small attendance
| at the lecture given at Hancock hall
| last Thursday evening by Mrs Mar
tina Moore Avery of Boston, but it
was representative audience, which
| listened with interest to the instruct
i've analysis of social conditions pre-
sented by Mrs. Avery. The fact that
| the attendance was not larger, so that
| the addition to the high school build
| ing fund is small. does not detract
from the appreciation felt for the
| kindness of Mrs. Avery in giving her
| services for the benefit of her old
| home city.

so, to turn out for the meeting Mon
day evening. Be there Don't let
George do it,"
