His Name was Murphy and He was
a Touch

His Name was Murphy and He was
a Tough
A fellow by the name of Tom
Murphy was arrested last Thursday
evening for stealing a coat. He was
caught by William Cummings and
John Baxter after a race of con-
siderable trouble. They turned him
over to U~ndersheriff Rankin who
locked him up in the county bastile
until Friday afternoon, where he was
given a trial before Judge Hill. The
theft of a $14.50 overcoat was proven
against him, for which the court gave
him 80 days in the limbo. He is a
broad shouldered, %rawboned Irishman
and when asked what his name was
he answered: me lame Is Murphy
and ON tough" The fellow from
whom the coat was stolen was asked
when on the witness stand, IL he
knew Murphy and he answered "Oi
don't know EN- from a sthick av
cordwood. OF don't know EN-, OF
don't want to know EN-. l don't loike

was then asked how he came to be

Murphy is doubtless an all around

before the 90 days expire there will
be inquiries for him from other parts
of the country.

which were: Others may hesitate
Others may procrastinate. others
may plead for further diplomatic re-
lations, but for my part am ready to
answer thee all of my country now.
Speaking on the mechanics of dec

are three great necessities In every
statement a man makes. They are
verify of facts, authority to give
opinion, and reasons. He told MS
hearers that the common faults OF
platform speakers are monotony OF
tone and lack of enthusiasm. He
mentioned the importance of infiec-

concluded his splendid talk with
plea. that every Rotarian prepare
himself for the time when he should
be called upon to stand on his feet
and talk.

lied the national association eleven

of that body in adopting a great ma
tional highway system running from
the Canadian border to the Gulf or
Mexico and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific Oceans. Mr.. Sargents re-
marks were most interesting IN that
he was able to tell the Rotarians that
Maine shared particularly fortunately
in the mapped national routes, with
highways numbering Ones Two and
Two Hundred and One, starting in
this state.

Religious Significance
OF Evolution at
Unitarian Church

A few of the deeper meanings OIL
life which evolution opens before us
regarding religion will be suggested
in the sermon on the Religious
Significance of Evolution" at All
Souls Church Unitarian on sun
day, November %. This is the third
and last in a series suggested by the
Dayton Trial of last summer and the
religious questions which it brought
into prominence.
In discussing this subject Rev. Mr..
Fem says: Evolution is virtually
taken for granted in every sphere
of life except religion. We do not
for a moment fail to believe that
the methods of education have
changed and become more and more
complex as time goes on; we do not
hesitate to affirm that the admins
tration of justice through the law
has undergone a similar history; the
very word history is an implication
of he process of slow unfolding and
revealing of change. And yet in the
realm of religion we are too likely
either to deny the process of evolu-
ton, or accepting it. to fail to ap-
preciate the tremendous significance
which such a doctrine has in the
enriching of religious conceptions"

Duplicate $4,000 Volt Line
Forms Connecting Link Be-
tween Farmingdale and Fort
Halifax Station - Will I'M
prove C. NJ. P. Service in Gen.
trail Maine

Holes nave been dug and poles are
set in position about half the dis
lance on the new $4,000 volt extension
line being built by Central Maine
Power Company between Augusta
and Oakland. A squad of forty line
men under the direction of T. j. Pei
key are pushing through the extern
sion, which was started about a
month ago.
Progress on the construction of the
new high tension line has been ham
,pered by heavy autumn rains that
have made the roads in the vicinity
almost impossible. In addition the
town of Sidney has passed a regula-
ton prohibiting trucks with loads
over two tons gross from travelling
on its roads until the ground is frozen
solid. Compliance with this ordi-
nance has necessitated light loads in
transporting material through this
township.
Nature has provided a solid foun-
dation for most of the poles set on
the hilltops outside of Augusta. 1t
has taken fifty pounds Of dynamite a
day to- open many of them. Because
Of the rocky nature Of the soil COM
pressed air drill has been required
among equipment carried by the men
as they advance along the right of
way The right of way for this line
extension Is 100 feet wide. 1t is the
widest right of way Central Maine
Power Company has acquired for a
line extension. The new 100 foot
limits provide ample space for clear
ing trees blown down by storms.
The new line is a duplicate of the
line on the east side of the Kennebec
between the Augusta substation and
Winslow. The new extension will
connect with the Fort Halifax sta
ton at Winslow by way of Oakland.
In event of trouble on the present
line between Winslow and Augusta
power for Augusta may be sent over
the new line, or power for Waterville
from the Farmingdale steam plant
sent up vice versa.
A new line between Union and
Maxcy tying in with the Rockland
transmission system will make 1t pos
sible to transmit power over the new
Augusta Oakland line from Fort
Halifax station to Rockland. Central
Maine Power Company's service will
be more secure in all points of Gen.
trail Maine when these lines are in
operation later this winter.
