A Distinguished Maine Family.

At the time of the second war with
England, before Maine became State, in
the little town of Livermore in Andros-
coggin County, Martha Benjamin Wash
burn began to rock plain cradle of paint
ed pine, ,-mightiest combination of earth
ly forces. She had eleven children; one
son died in infancy, but seven sons and
three daughters lived to carry the name
to ten states, to South America, to the
dying Empire of France in the days of the
Commune and to the quarter deck of a
war vessel in the rebellion.
This wonderful family were born from
1918 to 1888, and the last one to die lived
to 1920. The three daughters married and
lived to be 80, AZ and 81 years old, and
made their homes in Minnesota, North
Dakota and Louisiana.
The seven sons lived to be 20, 65, II. Ga,
81, GO and 79 years old, and the record
they mace and the imprint, they left, not
only upon the eisht states and our Nation
which GA signally honoured them, but
upon two other countries is without paral-
lei in the history of this country.

The cradle in which Martha Benz jamn

the Washburn Memorial Library at Nor

still owned and lived in by her descend

the Washburns and one of her. To read
of what her children did, one would know

The Liberty..Tree.

There is giant tulip poplar tree on
the campus of st. Johns College at An
napolis, Md, in whose branches the birds
were nesting when Christopher Columbus
was wearing little flannel petticoats. 1t
is estimated to be n the neigh borhood of
600 years old. 1t measures 81 feet in cir
conference about two feet from the
ground. Some years ago the tree was
threatened with death by decay, but was
accidentally saved through the prank of
some mischievous boys. One dark night
they exploded two pounds of powder in
the dry rotting hollow of the tree hoping
to have some fun. Instead of iniuring
the tree the fire saved its life BY burning
out the decaying portions.
According to tradition, the treaty with
the Susquehannock Indians was made un-
der this poplar in 1902. The shade of
this tree was favorite gathering place of
the citizens back in olonial times, In
1924 when Lafayette visited this country
he was given a public reception beneath
this ancient tree. 1t stands on the cam
pus of college that was founded in 1904,
then known as King Williams School.
The Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton have placed this inscription on the
tree:
"This tablet placed upon the Liberty
Tree by the Peggy Stewart Tea Party
Chapter, Daughters of the American Re-
volution, of Annapolis. Maryland, Octo
Der 10, 1907, to commemorate the first
treaty made here with the Susquehan-
nocks in 1862, and that George Washing
ton in 1871, and General Lafayette in 1874,
visited st. Johns College. Through the
munificence of James I. Woodward, of
New York City, this tree, estimated to be
ovei 600 years old, has been preserved
from decay" azSaas

BIRD LIFE IN MAINE.

The long, heavy rains in New England
this year have resulted in tremendous
loss of bird life, according to State Orni-
thologist Edward II. Forbush. The rains
have been more severe "down east" than
in Massachusetts,, and reports to Prof.
Forbush relate that In places in Maine at
least two wheelbarrow loads of dead
chimney swallows have been taken from
single long chimneys.
The catastrophe to the chimney swal-
lows, or chimney swifts, was directly
due to the heavy rains which drove to
the ground the insects on which the birds
feed, causing the birds to starve to death.
These birds catch their prey on the wing
and cannot subsist otherwise.
Prof. Forbush said that most of the
loss of life, however. was among the
birds which nest on the ground or make
their nests low in bushes or on banks OF
streams. Either the nests have been
swept away by the torrents and floods or
the young birds have been drowned in
their nests.
In western Maine and in Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island and Connecticut
there has been great destruction OF red
winged blackbird, wrens, swamp SPAR
rows, and song sparrows. Some birds
which never raise more than one brood
year are already flocking for their return
trip to the south, though this is unusuai-
ly early.
A similar catastrophe occurred In this
district in 1908 when there was an abund-
ance of rain, together with cold weather.
