The second entertainment in the
1yceum course under the auspices of
the senior class of the high school,
will take place at Hancock hall to-
morrow evening. The entertainer
is John MacCorison, a peculiarly
gifted young artist who is capable of
giving an evening of character de-
lineations that are distinctively types
of real live people-character that
exist; people we see in every day
walks of life. For years Mr.. Mac
Corison has been delighting audi
ences with his fascinating types"
His program moves with a rapidity
that is astonishing There are no
tiresome waits between character
izations. It IS all done with few
def touches of grease paint, the plac-
| ing Of wig, and perhaps the quick
| throwing on of coat. A character
stands before you-and you marvel
at the art of John MacCorison. In
addition to his portrayals OF the
! familiar folks Mr. MacCorison enter
tains with dramatic readings.
Visitors yesterday at the Red
Cross headquarters found rather an
unusual state of affairs. Heaped in
a pile in the center of the room
| were enough vegetables to keep an
ordinary sized family the better part
| of the winter. And besides the
vegetables and apples, there was
| goodly variety of groceries, pre-
serves, Jelly, and other things to
make Thanksgiving more joyous
occasion This pile of food was the
result of an effort by the Junior Red
Cross to provide better Thanksgiv-
| ing dinners to poor families of the
city. Supported by the district
nurse and members of the home
service committee, these young peo-
pie issued call for each member
| to bring either two vegetables or two
cents to the school they attended.
The response was splendid exam
pie of the interest taken in the Red
Cross here. In money alone, $2.62
was collected, and will be used in
this Thanksgiving work. Tuesday
afternoon the vegetables were packed
in baskets ready for distribution this
afternoon. Older girls in the Junior
Red Cross will see that the baskets
are delivered to worthy and needy
families. More than score of
homes will be made happier this
Thanksgiving day by the thoughtful
ness and cooperation of this branch
of the local Red Cross chapter.
Chief Game Warden J. H. Macon,
Der of Ellsworth has been turning in
some cash from Hancock county
game law violators, though the
cases were settled out Of court
One up-river guide lost his guides
license and perfectly good jack
light, and the Massachusetts sports
man who was with him paid over a
little matter of 5000. They got
caught out after dark while hunt
ing. 'Ehis is not an uncommon oc
curl en6e, but the other case con
tains some heW features that It may
prove profitable FOR others to study
Early last summer an, up-river mar
captured two fawns alive. He KEEP
them until recently, when he solo
| them to Bangor man for his
private game preserve. The trouble
is, he forgot that all wild deer are
wards Of the State, and did not re-
port them to the fish and game de-
partment, which might have given
him permission to keep them. He
was not prosecuted for this over
sight, but during the present hunt
ing season, he shot deer. The fish
and game department ruled that
the two live deer had completed his
quota for the year. The third deer
cost him, or rather Bangor friends
who paid it for him, $50. Two Deer
Isle men, who neglected to take a
calendar with them when they went
off on weeks hunting trip, hunted
Sunday, believing CD it was Satur-
day. When their memory was logged
by Warden Macomber they paid
SO each without appearing in court.
