tablet and keep his money to put in
his bank. Thank you" said the boy,
IF you are giving them away / guess
I will take another" so he returned
home with hts dime and two tablets.
When his mother asked an explana-
ton and told him he should not have
taken the second one he informed her

A rough passage of IA days from
Avonmouth, England. was reported
by Capt c. Hughan of the White
! Star Dominion freight liner Turco-
man., which arrived at 3 Portland
about o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
! She will begin loading at once for
her return trip to Avonmouth. and Is
| expected to get away on Saturday
noon. She will stop at Halifax to
take on cattle, the shippers for some
reason, seeming to prefer that port to
Portland this Winter for the ship
| ment of cattle. Heavy westerly and
northwesterly gales were encountered
on the passage, and although the big
freighter was badly battered by the
heavy seas she came through with

That the 18th amendment will be
| neither annulled nor modified. is the
| belief of Hon. Seth May Of Auburn.
| Federal prohibition agent for Maine.
| who recently addressed a union SER
vice of the Baptist, Methodist and
| Congregational churches at kenne-
bunkport, held under the auspices of
| the w. c. T. U. Mr.. May declared
that the success of any law Is de-
| pendent very much upon public
| sentiment and cooperation and too
often the public Is weakly SYM
pathetic toward criminals. He said
| in connection with all law it was
necessary that some give up what
| they might consider their personal
rights in order that others might not
| suffer as they would were 1t not for
the regulation of law.
| Mrs. ]. w. Meserve of Bar Mills,
| former president of the Dorcas So

| Cary and many others. This cloth
will be on exhibition at the Dorcas
fair and lawn party to be held at
| Quillcote during the coming sum-
mer. Also there will be many more
autograph photographs of literary
| celebrities from the late Kate Douglas
Wiggin. The autograph tablecloth Is
unique as a storehouse of celebrated
| names. On great occasions when
some grandee of art, music. drama,
literature. or the world of affairs was
to be present, the table was laid with
this beautiful cloth, and the guest
asked to write his name upon 1t be-
fore the meal was completed. Next
morning the autograph was taken to
an exquisite needlewoman who en-
broidered it and thus fixed it on the
cloth for posterity. In the course of
20 years of married life the Riggs
autograph tablecloth gathered up 100
| names. all of the most eminent in
their several lines. until it might al
most be used for volume Of who's
