Are only things to dream about;
The bright flowers withered long ago;
Stilled are the voices that once
MY art. I knew it would be so
The while my star in splendor
blazed.
But I have tasted sweet applause;
And love and Joy belonged to me;
I've known life's ecstasy because
I've danced until 1 seemed to be
A wee part of the whirling spheres.
A flame that burned, light that
I keep my memories through the
1 pity you who have not danced!

The existance of two very black
and good sized bears in the gorge at
Bar Harbor seems to be an establish
ed fact, the animals having been
seen by various folks at various
hours of the day. In several cases
the people who saw thes bears were
in motor cars. Mr. Riner. manager
of the Frank Shoe Store, driving out
through the gorge in his car the 9TH
er morning about o'clock, saw one
Of the bears. standing upright at the
roadside and then dropping and
walking across the road to disappear
into the woods, just beyond the turn
Of the road for Seal Harbor. Others
have seen the animals together or
separately.

them next morning. This is in great
contrast with last year, when a SIM

quents The officers were very cour-
teous in their work. ut Is neces-

to know how many woud skip 1t 1t
there was no check-up OF this sort
now and then"
