When the Cid Tell Bridge was Made
Free

Eugene w. Chase OF this city has a
copy of the old Kennebec Reporter or
Dec. 5. 1885. nearly 81 years ago.
which is of considerable interest be-
cause IL contains an account of the
,o.e Of Gardiner and Pittston on the
question of whether the Gardner ana
pittston toll bridge should be pur-
che sed by Gardiner ana Pittston ana
Us use made free to all persons. The
bridge was constructed by a private
eorporation ami toll charged so that
the stockholders might be reimbursed
d their investment. The town of RAN
dolrh had not then come into being,
IL being n rart of Pittston. Much of
the space in the Reporter is occupied

eagle with outspread wings and UNI
darncath it says, This Eagle
Screams. 4 Free Bridge" under this
comes largo rooster and the words,
Gardner rolls up 792 yeas; only 60
opposed" Then follows another and
smaller rooster with This bird is not
50 large. but crows just as loud for
plttston's 3iS yeas to 33 nays"
The story of the election says that
the advocates of a froN bridge have
every reason TO feel well satisfied
with the resrit { the voting. Every
thing was quiet with no excitement.
The result was evidently surprise to
the advocates of tho free bridge move
ment.

by Plttston to act jointly with COM

the day did come when he left the
noisy city far behind and, with Miss
Carter. rode on the train to the coun-
try he could hardly believe was real
The first night in the sweet white
bed Tim slept but little for fear 1t was
all dream, but il wasn't and there
were weeks OF happiness ahead.
Tins cheeks grew round and rosy,
his eyes bright and such walks and
talks as he had with Miss Carter and
he met all of her animal friends. but
best of all was pretty yellow war
bier that built nest In the fork Of
the apple tree.
Tim watched this yellow fellow fly
ing hack and forth into the tree and
one day he asked: Miss Carter. what
does that bird carry in his mouth and
what does he do with it,"
IF you win promise never to touch
bird nests. Tim. or. take their eggs, ]
VIII show you something very pretty
said Miss Carter.
And when the yellow warbler had
flown away again, Miss Carter and
Tim placed n ladder by the tree and
carefully climbed up.
Tins eyes were wide with wonder
for he had no idea what he was to
see and when Miss Carter whispered
Look" and showed him nest with
four little birds in 1t, their mouths
wide open for food. he was not able
to even, ask a question.
When they were on the ground
Warbler made the nest from bits of
straw and horsehair, with which II
was lined, and this was brought TO
her by her good husband, Mr.. War
bier.
"And didn't you help them at all?"
asked Tim, for he could not believe
that anything so wonderful could have
been made by anything but hands.
And then Miss Carter told Tim how
wicked It was for anyone, to take q
nest or the eggs and harm the baby
birds when the little mother and Ia
Their birds had worked so hard to
make their home and loved their chill
dren just as little boys and girls were
loved by their parents.
When II was time to return to the
city Tim was made happy by being
told that the next summer he could
go to the farm when school was over
and again meet the Yellow Warbler
and all the other friends he had made
while there.

others than with oneself, And 1t is.
just as true that when one goes around
looking for trouble, he's likely to miss
more serious difficulties Of his own
making. IL
Neglect is never excusable. If one
is fair to his fellows, as well as him
self. he will always have his own
house In order before he starts out to
make others clean house. If one
wishes to find fault with the treatment
accorded him by his fellows. he should
survey his own record OF actions to-
ward his fellowmen.
Many persons are constantly making
their own lives miserable and adding
to the sorrow of the world by COIN
planning that "the world Is going to the
bow-wows," and contending that moth
ing short Of another deluge viii bring
siffulness to an end. They overlook
entirely oil the many good things and
good deeds which are constantly being
brought about by self-sacrlficing indi-
viduais. Because people spend so much
time discussing the sordid side of life,
they come to think little of the better
side.
With all the disappointing evidences
OF lawiessness and disregard for moral
laws and modesty. it is still fact
that the vast majority are clean
minded, hard-working, law-abiding,
God-fearlng men and women. II they
were not, there would be nothing new
in the wicked pathways about which
we hear so much. II the majority were
following the wrong trail the story of
sin and misery and missteps would at.
tract but passing attention. The ex-
ception, as usual. proves the rule.
If all those who are worried about
the tendencies" of the age would
keep their own course straight and
would try to encourage others by their
cheerful examples, there would be less
sin in the world. For there are few
who Intentionally take the wrong
path. = I.
One always will make his own life
happier and the world more cheerful IL
he keeps his thoughts and words
focused on the better side.
1t never pays to play with fire or to
occupy ones time reading trash.

THE statement that there is a d.

strange, but 1t Is nevertheless true
The human anirnal--fnafi- vent
to a series of sounds originating IN
his throat when something causes him
pleasure. TlG.se sounds we character
ize as laughter Very. much the
same process takes place when a hen
lays an egg. The presence of the egg
in the body Of the hen causes the bird
some discomfort. When thfs is re-
lieved, she is naturally pleased and
announces her pleasure to the world
by a species of laughter of Joy which
we have termed 'tcackling."
If we remember that many persons
"chuckle" when they are pleased the
relationship between the laughter of
human beings and the cackling Of
hens becomes even more apparent and
IL should be. borne in mind that every
living thing expresses its pleasure in
some animate and usually vocal. man.

THE RIGHT THING

By NARY MARSHALL pUFFEE
PARENTS FORGET


THERE is rule of good, form that
= tells us that we should never re-
prove a servant or other employee In
the presence of outsiders. A waitress
perhaps breaks a dish at dinner and
the confused hostess exclaims hastily
that she should not be so awkward or
tfat she has been very careless. Now,
the perfectly well-bred hostess does not
do this. She does her best at the time
to draw her guests attention from the
mlshap and, IL she feels that any re-
proof Is necessary. she waits until she
is alone with the servant.
Now. IL we are as considerable as
this TO servants. ought we not to be as
considerable to our children? Yet.
truly. know plenty of persons who
would not think OF reproving servants
in my presence. especially nowadays,
when servants are so independent and
hard to get, who would not think II
anything amiss to scold their children
In my presence.
Sometimes the scolding is delivered
In half-teaslng, testing manner.
"John. will you be carefully" exclaims
the mother to her ten-year.old son.
when he is trying to bring her some
article that she has sent for. s"You are
the most awkward creature in the
world. Your feet are so big It's no
wonder you trip over them" And then,
10 her guest: "Just imagine, John
wears shoes that are larger than mine
already, ! suppose he is going to have
enormous feet like his father"
1t may be that John is sensitive. He
was doubtless trying to do the errand
gracefully and carefully, and it hurts
him to be reproved for his failure TO
do So. Moreover, he feels sensitive
about those big feet. He knows that
the only reason his parents tease him
about them is because he cannot come
back at them and make teasing re-
marks about their infirmities.
Now. really. does it seem fair1 If
you want TO reprove John and humble
him-perhaps you are justified. but
you ought at least to be as consider
ate to him as you would be TO serv-
ant-and do 1t when there is no third
person present.
