Unless 1 miss my guess, ON such an
occasion she will be there with the
goods. Do you think that l, born
and reared in Bluehill, do not know
the expansive genius of a Hancock
county woman in an emergency?

A. S. D. In reply, I will adopt the
answer of little boy to his aunt In
Oregon City. She was bringing him
up, and doing it right. too. He
called her "Step"-short for step
mother. She had him sleep in a
small bed beside her so she could
reach out and keep him covered.
One night she felt around and could
not find his head. Finally she asked,
"San, where is your head?" He
answered, "Here it's, Step, right by
my face" And that is where l am
at this present moment
1t is not improbable that l may
make visit to Maine by and by, and
when l do, l shall wish to meet Aunt
Mary's John, but l am telling you
that the obstacles will have to be
pretty formidable to keep me from
seeing Aunt. Mary.

Swans Island.

The three masted schooner,
Frances Parson, of Parrsboro, N. S.,
which went ashore near Southwest
Harbor during the last gale, is but
little damaged. The crew remained
aboard. She will be easily salvaged.
Notices have been sent to all the
stockholders of the Swans Island
Telephone & Telegraph Co.. of the
annual stockholders meeting to be
held at the Office of Morse & Son,
Swans Island, on Tuesday, Feb. 3.
The cable has been boon to the
people of the island during the inter-
rupted steamboat service and de-
layed mail, caused by the ice in bays
and harbors.
At Mackerel Cove, ice has covered
the water to and beyond the islands
and far into Bluehill bay. Placentia
Sound has remained clear. Old Har-
Dor has been frozen over, and the
Frenchboro mail had to be landed at
the eastern side of the island and
brought overland.
Mr.. and Mrs Henry Sager have
closed the Casino at Atlantic, dis
posed of their property, and plan to
return to their old home in Canada.
Capt. and Mrs. Emery Joyce, of
Atlantic, are visiting Capt. Barbour,
formerly of Swans Island, at Abing-
ton, Mass
Radio reception has, in general,
been remarkably good on the island,
and to many families having sets, the
nightly concerts and lectures have
been a big advantage during the long
winter evenings. Reception from
distances up to 1000 miles or more
has been good, and from Cuba and
balmy Miami Beach, to Regina, in
cold Saskatchewan, we have been
able to listen to the goings on
over a large area of country.
The last snowstorm has put an
end temporarily, to automobiling.
Calvin Stockbridge and family, OF
Old Harbor, are visiting at the At

Dear Aunt Madge:
When I broke into the NJ. B. col
umn a few months ago, | mentioned,
in an apologize vein, that | was
not a woman. | did this to bring to
the front my qualifications as cor
respondent to the column, because |
did not wish to sail under false colors
or to be taken, either literally or
metaphorically, for a skirt.
In my preliminary, | alluded in
cidentally to a man who had engaged
in knitting as an avOcation, and to
his wife, who was reputed to have
donned his pants. Though | men
toned no names, | seem to have
smoked out, as it were, an estimable
gentleman, who for some reason,
considered that he was the man re-
ferred to. He sOlemnly averred that
he had his pants on then and there
His saying so was sufficient for
me, as | was most kindly disposed;
but the wicked thought would in
trude that he may have put on his
pants for that particular exigency.
However, he showed himself able to
take a joke in good part, which is
an evidence of complete sanity.
Should he ever make a will, I shall be
willing to testify to his testamentary
capacity, and the fact that | was a
legatee or devisee in that will for a
handsome amount would not lessen
in any degree the positiveness of my
testimony. l am sure that he is a
lovable and interesting gentleman
whom it would be pleasure to meet
pants or no pants.
But in a recent issue of The
American, he mentions me, and
states, with an air of loftiness and
superiority, that he has just bought
a new pair of pants. He intimates
that the contrast in circumference
would not permit Aunt Mary to APP
propriate said pants to her own use
and behoof. But if the exigency
should arise. you watch Aunt Mary!

Dear M. B. Friends:
l am now about 800 miles from
home, and have the privilege of read
ing The American again. It's like
the greeting of an old friend. I was

health was so improved, and that
jasmine was with them. A loving

for here in Newport, R. l., 1 was
right in line for the wonderful view.
In the west, as the darkness came on,
it resembled much a dark shower
cloud arising in the east, the slow,
darkening of the sun. The birds
fitted here and there, seeming some
what frightened or confused about
where to 60, many of the smaller
birds alighting in the trees and put
ting their heads under their wings.
The seagulls few back to their night
quarters, not understanding why the
day was too short for them to get
their breakfast; and as the strange
light grew deeper, it seemed as If
all the dogs in the city were barking,
hardly stopping long enough to take
breaths between barks. At the dark
est time, the light was about the
same as the first night the new moon
casts a shadow over our old earth.
During the few seconds of totality,
the planets Venus, Mercury and Jul
piter were visible near the sun.
Others said that other stars were
visible, but l did not see them, or
the fine waves of light and shadow
that fitted over the snow. Was up
too far above the ground to see any
thing so fine, being in third-story
window. At the darkest time there
was what looked like a narrow fringe
of gold round the moon, with little
streams of light flashing out here and
there, like fire. Then, in a few
seconds, the edge Of the sun flashed
out so brightly! Soon all was back
to normal-the birds happy, the
dogs quiet, and the busy tramp on
the city streets resumed.
But that wonderful hour is one
long to be remembered. Who can
doubt the guiding hand of the Inf
mite? He has promised 81 will guide
thee with mine eye" and perfect
trust and love in that guiding will
lead US all safely home.
With kind regards to all the Mu-
