Three Amherst Children Lost More
Than Twenty-four Hours.

Riding like heroes on the
shoulders of happy searchers, three
little Amherst girls came out Of the

Mrs. Wilbert C. Durham of Amherst.
They had gone into the woods to pick
flowers Saturday forenoon. They
were accompanied by dog, and
when the dog ran off after a
partridge, they followed, and wan
dered farther and farther away from
home, lost.
When they did not return for din
ner. their mother, after snort
search alone, gave the alarm, and IN
the afternoon all the men and many
of the women of the town and some
from nearby towns joined in the
search. which continued without sue
cess until dark. Saturday night the
news was broadcast to neighboring
towns, and early Sunday morning
about 300 men were on hand to re-
sumo the search They came from
all the neighboring towns, and from
as far away as Ellsworth, Brewer,
Bangor. The Boy Scouts of Ban

children were found. They said they
had wandered Saturday until dark,
and then lay down to sleep. In the
morning they could not awaken
Katherine, and thought she was
dead so left her to resume their wan
behring's.
The children were none the worse
for their experience, except for a
few scratches. There was rejoicing
in Amherst Sunday night. The lit
tie girls were so happy to find their
dog had got home safe.

COMMENCEMENT.
Ellsworth High Has Interesting and
Successful Week.

| Last week was commencement
week for the Ellsworth high school.
Good weather favored the class of
|1925 until the final night, when a
severe thunder shower enlivened the
graduation ball, but came too late to
keep anyone away.
The week opened with the bacca-
laureate sermon at a union service
| at Hancock hall, as reported last
week. The school and alumni ball
game Wednesday afternoon fur
nished a close and exciting game. A
report of it may be found elsewhere
in this issue.
Thursday forenoon there were
class day exercises at the high school
auditorium, when the senior class
assembled in the school for the last
time as a class, and enjoyed the fol-
lowing program;
Prayer ......... Rev. John e. Besant
Helpful hints ........ Horace >. Estey

Reading .. Mercy b. Garland
Instrumental solo ..... olive G Eaton
Class Will ..... George a. Partridge
Essay on motto, NO Victory

Then the scene of festivities was
transferred to Hancock hall, which
was beautifully decorated with the
class colors-American beauty ana
gray. Flowers, kindly donated by
Miss NJ. A. Clark and Mrs. Henry
Wood, added to the decorations.
The class play, Wanted, A
Chaperone," drew a large audience
Thursday night, and was well re-
ceived, all the parts being we'll pre-
scented.
Friday afternoon, the regular
graduation exercises took place at
Hancock hall. 1t seemed as if all
feminine Ellsworth was out in gala
attire, and the hall was filled with
friends of the graduates. The after
noon program was pleasing one,
the class parts being of exceptional
excellence. Rev. J. A. Germans ad-
dress to the class was eloquent and
inspirational. The program was as
follows:

being printed in The American last
week.
The week closed with the gradu-
alton ball Friday evening, and again
the hall was filed. Excellent music
for dancing was furnished by Fogg'
orchestra, which also played for the
afternoon exercises. Altogether, the
week was most suspicious for the
class of 1925 OF Ellsworth high
school-the first class TO be gradu-
ated after a full school year in the
new high school building.

Making inquiries, Mr.. and Mrs,
Baker learned that two young men
had started down the road toward
Ellsworth, and so turned their car in
that direction. Soon they overlook
the two men, who were very glad to
accept Mr.. Bakers proffered lift.
Mr.. Baker came near spelling the
little surprise in store for the men
when he asked one of them, "Nhere
did you get that shirt?" He had
recognized it as one of his own, But
Mrs. Baker prodded her husband IN
the ribs with her elbow, and the
conversation stopped there.
Arrived in Ellsworth, the car sud
denly turned into the jail yard, and
the men realized the laugh was on
them. Sheriff Maeomber found the
stolen goods upon them, Including
three of Mr.. Bakers shirts on each
mantle handiest way they had of

of priceless value to Mrs. Baker
