BULL P0UT QUITE AT HoAl
Yarn Furnish Something New in
Piscatorial Stories.

One feels almost like apologizing for
telling fish story that isn't bit like
any other fish story ever told since
good excuse for the unfqueness of this
fish story. 1t Is gospel truth, says
George l.. Brown, according to the
New York Sun. The scene Of 1t is
Elizabethtown. a village completely
surrounded by Adirondacks.
The streams and ponds around
Elizabethtown have been famous In
their day for speckled trout and more
recently for pickerel, perch, black bass
and bull pout.
Let the humble bull pout be the he
ro of this yarn the Sacramento cat"
as he has been named in California,
the sluggish browser of weedy ponds
that will live wherever frog can and
Bite Anything FROM IA ahgfsw6fni to
a piece of tin dinner pail. And the
bull pout's tenacity of life may be
credited with good share of the
uniqueness of this unprecedented fish
story. 80 err, ''-.7s:.
In the days when the thing hap
pened the young fellows of Elizabeth
town used to go fishing for bull pout
Saturday nights in Lincoln pond or in
the ''marsh" not far away. And on
Saturday night Carl e. Daniel and his
cousin, the late Arthur II. Norton,
went out and brought home a fine
mess after midnipht
Carl was tired and he just dumped
his bull pouts with the grass in which
he had carried them home, into
dishpan. Then 1t occurred to him to
put the dishpan the kitchen sink
and turn on the faucet a little, and he
did SO before going to bed.
That's where the story begins. The
rest of 1t happened while Carl was
asleep. You see. the grass overlooked
with the water from the dishpan and
clogged the drain of the sink. And
then the sink filled up and overlooked
And then the whole Of the ground floor
Of Carl's home, Colonial Cottage" be-
came a pond. And when Car. got up
on Sunday morning and went into the
kitchen he found all his mess of bull
pouts swimming around over the floor
as happy as if they were back in Lin
coin pond.
That's the story, and If you doubt
that it happened in just that way You
can ask Carl who is now head Of the

The next legislature should re-
move the restriction on killing of
gray squirrels within city limits, for
the sake of bird preservation. The
squirrels have no economic value, eX-
cept as a food which few people in
Maine relish. while the economic
value of birds is unquestioned. The
destructiveness of the gray squirrel
among birds surpasses that of the
house cat. They not only DESTROY
nests and eat the eggs. but, appar-
emily from pure righteousness, kill
the young birds, biting off their
heads and leaving them. They even
seem to take fendish delight in
destroying nests from which birds
have flown. In Ellsworth last year,
three different species of birds burt
near one home. The squirrels killed

GILES-HAYNES.

| The First Congregational church
eof Ellsworth was the scene of a
pretty wedding last Wednesday
afternoon at o'clock, when Miss
Hazel Gertrude Giles became the
Both these young people, of we'll
known Ellsworth families and them
selves prominent in social circles,
have many friends, and the church
was filled by guests.
The church was effectively deco
rated with daisies, clover, butter
cups and locust blossoms, which
made a very pretty setting for the
wedding party.
The bride entered on the arm of
her brother-in-law F. Carroll Bur-
rill, as the Lohengrin march was
played by her cousin, Miss Erva l..
Giles. The bride ware a beautiful
gown of white satin crepe with an
overdress of Chantilly lace, with
court train and veil, and pearl trim
mings. The veil, caught by orange
blossoms, was that worn by her Sis
ter, Bernice, at her wedding to Harry
c. Achorn. She carried shower
bouquet of lilies-of-the-valley.
Mrs. Burrill, sister of the bride,
was matron of honor. Her dress
was of orchid English wolfe, beaded,
and she wore a hat of orchid horse
hair with foliage trimming. She
carried Ophelia rosebuds. The
bridesmaids were Mrs. Harry l..
Lamster of Los Angeles, Cal, and
Mrs. Harry c. Achorn Of Brookline,
Mass. sisters of the bride, and
Misses Rachel and Alice Haynes, sis
tiers of the groom. They wore orchid
organdie, with hats to match, and
their bouquets were of snapdragons
and iris.
Little Julia Lamster, niece of the
bride, was flower girl, and carried a
basket of forget-me-nots and roses.
Her dress and bonnet were of orchid
dotted swiss Robert G. Achorn
and Harry Carver Achorn, jr., of
Brookline. Mass. nephews of the
bride, were ring-bearer and train
bearer respectively.
Robert Haynes of Ellsworth, |
cousin of the groom, was best man. |
The ushers were John J. Whitney !
and M. Ludike Hall of Ellsworth, |
Harry G. Achorn of Brookline and ,
Harry Patterson of Boston.
Rev. George S. Brookes, pastor of |
the church, officiated at the wedding,
using the double-ring service.
After the ceremony, a wedding
supper was served to the wedding
party and the immediate families,
at the home of the bride. The house
was attractively decorated with
snapdragons, roses and
wild flowers.
After the supper, the bride and )
groom left for a motor trip to Port
land and the White Mountains, but
not until they had been forced to
capitulate to persistent parsuers,
after a roundabout chase.
The bride is the youngest daugh-
ter of Mrs. jeremiah T. Giles. She
is graduate of the Ellsworth high
school, of particularly pleasing
and active in church and .
social work. The groom is the son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry w. Haynes. He
is a graduate of the Ellsworth high
school and of the University of
Maine, where he took a civil en-
and forestry course. He
served in the World war, and was
overseas for some time with the
army of occupation. He is now
building up practice as a surveyor, .
