SHOWS
DEVOTION

The Indian spent almost his entire
time with the little mare. He talked
to her In the Indian tongue and she
seemed 10 understand. He slept in
the stable with her every night for
fear some illness might overtake her
while no was away, some enemy
might try TO dope her or. worse still,
there might by chance be fire and
Useeit would perish. His love and
devotion to the little marc soon
brought results. Sc was as fleet as
the wind and she had almost an un-
canny ability TO get away from the
barrier ahead of her opponents and
leap over against the rail for the adj
vantage that every Jockey seeks.
Then terrible thing happened
Hoots entered Useeit In a claiming
race. under the rules OF which any
horse in tho contest may be bought
nj certain figure. 1t never occurred
TO Hoots that he might lose Useeit
Tho little mare showed tremendous
burst OF speed that day and flashed
under tho wire an easy victor Useelt
was claimed" Hoots was wild over
the thought OF parting from his ia
yorite. but the man was obdurate.
And when he learned that he must
either give UP Usceit or racing. he
took Useeit with him back TO his
home. barred forever from the turf
along with his favorite mare. Grief
over the outcome OF the claiming race
finally brought the big Cherokee face
to face with death. He called his
wife 10 him.

that, in place of the. purchase price
provided for. In the first charter. the
State would receive an annual rental
of ten thousand dollars per year and
that, in addition thereto, 1t would re-
ceive fifteen thousand dollars year
for the power rights which the COM
pany did not get in the first charter.
the Governor came before the Legis-
lature and delivered message stat
ing that he was Offering a new char
ter to the Legislature in which he
obtained a million dollars for what the
Legislature practically was giving
away under the origianf charter. fail
ing to point out with any prominence

were granted in the new charter were
not granted under the first, and leay-
ing the impression with the Legisla-.
ture that he had driven a very much
more advantageous bargain with the
company than that contained in the
first charter.F
The Governor further claimed that
the new charter established the prin-
cipe that the state should there;
afterwards obtain a rental from all
storage companies for the right to
store water, which of course was not
in any way borne out by the facts. as
in this case, all that was being paid
for was the right to use the states
land and the power incident thereto.
Fearing that the Governors inter
probation of the charter would be &C
cepted by the people as the meaning
of this charter, the companies refused
to accept it. and the Legislature was
so angered by the Governors attitude
that they repealed the original char
ter. The whole project thus failed
and the industrial needs for storage on
the Kennebec River still continue.
