HAWTHoRN's BoYHooD HOME
House on sebaeo Lake is to Be Pre-
served as a Community
Center.

The house on the shores Of Sebago
lake at South Casco, Me-, in which Ma
thaniel Hawthorne lived as a boy and
where he made his home when he was
attending Boudoin college, is to be pre-
served as community house. Citi-

formed corporation for the purpose.
Robert Manning Of Salem, Mass. who
owned thousands Of acres of land
about Sebago lake, built the house In
1914 for his sister, who was Haw-
thorne's mother. Mrs. Hawthorne had
lost her husband at sea and lived after
wards In retirement. Hawthorne was
ten years old when he came to the
new home with his mother. and this
continued to be his home until after
his graduation from Bowdoin college
In 1925, when he returned to Salem.
The building was used as a board

Then one night. just as the moon rises
above the roof of the jungle and casts
pale eerie light over the village
square, the trembling hoyices, denud-
ed Of all clothing. are conducted by
the elders to fhe edge Of the square.
They see before them long lane OF
crouching figures queerly garbed-the
devils" which are to test them The
crouching figures spring into action;
blood-curdling yells fill the air. Small
groups of demons" clutch the shrink
ing lads and stamp UP and down.
round and round the village, rubbing
their bodies and throwing them In the
air. The din Is internal. One can
scarcely credit that sounds such as
these could come from human threats.
Up on the scaffolding they cast their
human "hand-balls," but before the
terror-stricken lads can climb out OF
reach they are pulled down again. The
mothers of the lads, weeping and
shrieking, rush into the groups to try
to rescue their boys. "Oh demons"
they cry, "do not harm my boy; he
is worthy" "He is not worthy" they
shrek in reply, "this is his death
dance" He sees others rushing at
him with clubs uplifted to strike, but
before they can fall rough hands
snatch him away and he is tossed and
whirled through the air over and over
again. Deadly tired and semi-dement-
ed, he is placed on the scaffold for a
brief respite, but acrobatic demons"
spring to his side and perform strange
inhuman catherine wheels" and other
movements, as they chuckle and Jeer
ut him and mutter horrible threats.
Demons" in the trees overhead upset
vessels of ley cold water over him. and
again he is dragged from his resting
place and almost torn asunder. But
nj last the demons" consent to let
him rest. Then he is covered from
head to foot with large cloaks Of
bark cloth. With his back turned he
clings to the scaffolding In fear and
trembling while the bullroarers ara
brought In.
For hours the novices stand on their
lofty perches with their heads hid
den from the devils voices" Then
they are proclaimed worthy and the
demons" are explained to them. Food
is distributed to guests from other
tribes by the elders. who move quickly
from man to man with queer trot-
ting gait.
These depart for their own villages
and the youths return to their houses
of learning for instruction In the bull
roarer, the sacred flute, and other mu-
steal instruments Of the initiation.
Here they remain until the conditions
Of the ceremony are fulfilled, when
they become entitled to the fruits Of
their course--manhood and marriage.

SOFT ANSWER IN SWEDISH

A pretty young Swede and an Ameri-

CARELESS of lettered warning to keep
off the grass. A bicycle policeman
wheeled up to ask If they couldn't see
the sign. whereupon the American
whispered to the other to answer him
in Swedish. The little foreigner burst
forth in excited mystifying language
and the other girl Clipped in with the
few words Of her own acquired stock.
Realizing the impossibility of enforc-
Ing the law on two young and attrac-
tive aliens, the officer not only per-
mitted them the right of way but
took the trouble to point out the monu-
ment, government buildings and like
public views.
When she got the chance the Ameri-
can girl asked her friend what she had
said to the policeman-and that up
holder Of the law may be interested
In the answer.

The younger man was busy replace

the young man, breezily.
Violet observed that while the quail

That night she struggled with her

There was no comparison In the two
