Pennsylvania People Pass Through
Somerset County

Two big cars were among the host
of machines which passed through
Somerset County last week. The
two referred to were travelling to-
gether and in them were: Morgan S.
Kaufman of Scranton, Pa, David Il.
Kaufman and Joseph kaufman of
Towanda, in the same state, DIR. A. l..
Culture and Judge Leon Greenfield OF
Philadelphia. They had already
visited Lake George, Lake Placid and
Lake Champlain in New York state
and had come to Maine via Montreal
and the city of Quebec. Their jour
new home was to include lunch at
Augusta and several days stay at
Poland Springs. On their way from
Maine they were to pass through the
Berkshire Hills section of Massach-
usetts.
Joseph Kaufman is widely known
as the manager of the kaufman
Hotel system, doing business in the
large cities of Pennsylvania. One
of the other gentlemen of this name
is the owner of stock farm of more
than 400 acres at Towanda, making
a specially of purebred Holstein cattle
They speak of Hotel Lake Cham
plain as the finest to be found in the
states. In Montreal they stopped at
the Mt. Royal and in Quebec at the
Chateau Frontenac. None of the
party had previously visited the city
last mentioned. They were surprised
at the number of beautiful churches
found everywhere in Canada. Crops
in the Provinces as they observed
them were especially heavy. They
were delighted with the scenery from
the Canadian boundary southwark and
charmed at the wide expanse of forest
which was decidedly new to their
eyes.

Changes and Improvements ut May
nard's camps Since Last Season

This fast growing Maine camp is
becoming very popular. During May,
one hundred seventy-three Q73) per
sons registered at camp over fifty
being there ON the opening day, May l
Many improvements have been
made: a new ice-house with a capa-
city of 1000 cakes has been built. also
an up-to-date storehouse, in which
has been installed a new refrigerator
with capacity of two tons of ice. A
full line of groceries, candy, cigars
and soft drinks, also fruits and meats
are carried.
A Fordson tractor has been added,
to haul wood, ice and provisions.
Three new attractive cabins spring
house and diving floats have just been
completed.
A fifty acre wooded tract of land,
adjoining the camps, was recently
purchased by Mr.. and Mrs. Maynard.
Prospects for the coming hunting
and fishing season are very good; the
water in the river is higher than
usral. and the weather being cool,
natives look for an exceptionally good
run of salmon this Fall. Deer and
partridge are both more plentiful
around the camps than they have
been for several years.

Replica of Human Hand Discovered

A most extraordinary reproduction
of the human hand has been found
by Chester Wentworth of West Ath-
ems on his farm near Wentworth Pond.
1t was upon the top of a hill, one
hundred feet above the pond level.
The soil in that locality is stony, very
much like that of many a Maine ridge
The object was picked up in his gar
den where Mr.. Wentworth was Gull
tivating at the time. 1t is of stone
Az inches long by IL inches wide.
The thumb and fingers. together with
some of the joints in the wrist, the
cords, and the bones of the hand or
paw, are reproduced with startling ac-
curacy. There is no question but
what it is the stony replica OF a small
human hand, or the paw of some ami
NAL. The fact that the index finger
projects beyond the rest seems to
mark it as of human origin. The
object will impress anyone as the
fossilized remains of an infants hand.
This is to remain on exhibition at
the Office of the Independence Reporter
for a brief time and will then be sent
to some scientific institution, prob
ably the University of Maine. After
the scientists there have passed upon
it, 1t will returned to Mr.. Wentworth.
as 1t is very highly priced by him.

school on Long Island, n. Y, Robert
Hudson, also of the Lakewood Stock
Co. and Roy Sylvester Of Skowhegan
arose Friday morning at an early
hour and left at three-thirty a m. for
the big woods. 1t was an enjoyable
trip up with the rising sun playing its
part in entertaining the travellers.
They motored as far as Dead Water
and then walked five miles into the
West Carry Camps. At West Carry
all the cabins were filled and the
boats were all in use. Finally through
the courtesy of the management one
boat was procured for the accomoda-
ton of part of the party, while MI
Sylvester flshed the beaver ponds.
The days catch amounted to a col
lection of brook trout and togue,
while not the least interesting feature
were two beaver dams which the
party saw during their iourneyings in
the wids. The participants reached
Lakewood about five-thirty Friday
night and Messers Kingford and Hud-
son were in readiness to play their
roles at the evening presentation OF
east Is West in Lakewood theatre.

The Dignity Of Man.

How much then is a man better
than a sheep.-Matt. 1912.
Christ reveals to us the dignity of
man by speaking to us as beings who
are capable of holding communion
with God. and rejecting the divine
holiness in our hearts and lives. And
here His doctrine gains clearness and
force when we bring it into close
connection with His conduct
I suppose that there are few OF us
who would not be ready to admit at
once that there are some men and
women who have high spiritual
capacities.
For them. we say. religion is a
possible thing
They can attain to the knowledge
Of God and fellowship with Him.
They are born good.
They are saints by nature. But for
the great mass of the human race
this is out of the question. They
must dwell in Ignorance, in. wicked
But to ali this Christ says, MOI :.
He takes His way straight to the
outcasts of the world, the publicans
and the harlots and the sinners: and
to them He speaks of the mercy and
the love of God and the beauty of the
heavenly life.
And He does this. not. to cast them
into black despair, not because it
was impossible for them to be good
and to find God, but because 1t was
divinely possible-because God was
waiting for them, and because some
thing in them was waiting sfor God.
