Paradise Of Departed Heroes.


The way In which the departed
Scandinavian heroes passed their time
In valhalia, or in the palace Of Odin,
Is described In several places in the
Edda.
They have every day the pleasure
of arming themselves, marshalling
themselves in military order, engaging
In battle, and being all cut to pieces
but when the stated hour of repast
arrives their bodies are reunited, and
they return on horseback safe to the
nall Of banquet, where they feed
heartily on the flesh Of boar and
drink beer out of the skulls OF their
enemies. until they are in a state Of
intoxicatlon. Odin sits by himself at
4 particular table. The heroes are
served by the beautiful virgins named
Valkirie. who officiate as their cup
bearers. But the pleasures OF love
do not enter at all into the joys of this
extraordinary paradise.

Made No Hit That Night.

A certain actor, who walked across
the stage in q street scene of a third
rate drama, was very fond Of telling
his friends what he would accomplish
when he had speaking part. No
matter how small it was, he would
show them what real acting meant.
Eventually his opportunity came.
He was to appear in one of the scenes
and say two words-"It u.s.

Gov. & Council
Investigate State
Pier Expenditures

Tho expenditures Of the State Pier
Commission, which have been dis
cussed considerably at the State
House. were the subject Of an investi-
cation made Saturday at Portland by
Governor Baxter and Councillors Cecil
j. Clark OF Hollis and ]. J. Clement of
Montville. No report of this investi-
cation has yet been made.
That the salary list is too heavy
burden at the present stage is the
criticism frequently made by members
Of the council and others. Four men
are now employed as pier commission
ers at salaries of $4,000 each and the
itemizcd bill which has been submitted
calls for tho employment of a man.
ager at a salary of $4,000 annually.
1t is pointed out that while the in
come of the pier is but $4,000. the adj
miniStrativc expenses for the past
year We're approximately $4,000. The
long list of bills for banquets, bands
and excursions met with severe criti-
cism and prompted the action by the
executive council that all receipts be
turned into the State and all eXpendi-
lures be directed by the State.
Tho sum of $4,000 year has been
HSkeu Dy lic lOI Hlditllce
nance and in addition to that S165.000
for the sheds which have to be built
If the new structure is to be Of any
service at all. There is said to be some
question whether the people of the
State may be legally taxed to meet this
deficit which this Semi-private inStitu-
ton seems bound to encounter until
after it gets on its feet but it is prob
ably true that a majority of the leg
islators are in favor of developing the
pier now that the State has it on its
hands and has invested so large amount
of money in it. There are, however
those who do not hesitate to say that
1t will be cheapest in the end to let it
drop.
The fact that the pier project had
the overwhelming approval of the peo-
pie of the State gives it a status be-
fore the Legislature which a majority
of the members take as a mandate to
support it with necessary legislation.
