WATERvIL.LE MAN
DESPONDENT, TAKES
own LIFE FRIDAY

George I. Soper, II, ended his life
yesterday morning at 11.30 o'clock by
pressing the muzzle of an old SO cal
ible Spencer rifle to his forehead and
pulling the trigger. At the time Mr..
Soper was in the storage room of the
little store on West street which he
has conducted for some time. . The
cause of his act is attributed to de-
spondency over failing health.
Mr.. Soper had been greatly worried
for some time past. especially as to
the condition of his heart, but yester-
day he had given no one the impress
sion that he was thinking of commit
ting suicide. DR.. p. S. Merrill had
seen Mr.. Soper at 10 o'clock and he
says that at that time the man seemed
much depressed.
Sanford J. Topper, former owner
of the store, and the two daughters of
Edward Kelly We're in the store with
Mr.. Soper when the elderly man reach
ed to the wall and took down the rifle
which had been kept there as a relic.
He went into the storeroom and min
ute later the report of the gun was
heard. The shell entered Mr.. Soper's
head between the eyes but did not
cause instantaneous death. DR.. C. w.
Abbott was Immediately summoned
and he found the man lying on the
floor unconscious. 1t was thought
best not to move him and he died in
the storeroom at about l o'clock. In
what manner Mr.. Soper discharged the
rifle is not known.
He had been a resident of this city
for many years and his home was at l6
Morrill, avenue. Several years ago he
purchased the grocery store on West
street from Mr.. Topper and since that
time he had conducted the business.
He is survived by son, Fred Fl. So
per of 16 Morrill, avenue, and by two
grandchildren. Funeral services will
be announced later.

ing on trial three days and was taken

WINTHROP
s'wINTHRoPD

dedicated to Portland winthrop
ians," by Mrs. Juliet Marion STAN
ley Warren.)
o Winthrop! ancient, beauteous town,
which art so fair to see!
The hearts of absent ones, tonight,
turn fondly back to thee;
Glad childhood's gleesome days re-
turn, and happy-hearted youth,
When life oped bright and rosy-hued
with naught of care or ruth.
Imagination, in the west where sinks
the sun to sleep,
Sees hoary-headed Pisgah which doth
ceaSeleSS vigil keep;
His crown of primal rock and the
lonely wind-swept tree
Which standeth like a sentinel, they
all come back to me.
Still nearer yet looms up Clarke's Hill
which patiently looks down
On the winding, shady streets of the
busy little town;
While Town-house Hill, across the
vale vale; stands up with higher
And bids us HE to Sunset Rock to
view the glorious west.
Where Oxford's Hills, and old Mt.
Blue, and Abrams loftier height
Look up to heavens blue expanse and
the everlasting light;
While distant far the shadowy peaks
of old New Hampshire rise
And lift their mighty SUBMITS high as
if to kiss the skies.
The numerous lakes that scattered lie
all UP and down the town,
Clean bright and sparkle in the sun
like Jewels in a crown:
And wood and rill and vale and hill
and many a stately tree.
Pondtown, fair to see.
Grand Maranocook whose broad face
reflects as in glass
The fieecy clouds and ever-changfng
shadows as they pass:
Now smiling sweetly as the breeze
blows gently DER it's breast; -.
Now dashed to fury by the storms and
gales that ne'er bring rest.
Dear Annabescook, gentle mate, with
shores so picturesque,
Adorned with wood and field and
flower in pattern arabesque;
How memry calls to mind glad days,
when out on pleasure bent,
We joyous picnicked on Cobbs shore,
or on the Island spent.
Next come to mind the Narrows Ponds
twin lakes so oddly shaped,
Reminding one of spectacles. their
SHORES Win WOOQldnQ QTdpeO,
Their peaceful waters lily-crowned,
their banks so lone and still:
While homes of thrifty farmers dot
green mead and vale and hill.
Among these lakes, with wooded isles
Cobbosseecontee reigns the
queen:
A lovelier sheet of water was by NOR
tai never seen;
And cottagers from grove and isle
sail it's waters DER and DER,
And catch the gamey bass and trout
as they swim from shore to
shore.
Tween lakes the pretty village stands,
built up and down ''the Stream"
Its shady streets and cool retreats
seem like a poets dream;
But dearer yet to exiled hearts is the
place that we called home;
The old, sweet home" We'll ne'er for
get, no matter where we roam.
0 Winthrop, gem of Kennebec, thou
art most fair to see!
And we thine exiled ones, this night,
renew our loyalty;
Well treasure every memory. We'll
~ hold thy welfare dear,
And for thee, grand old Winthrop,
we'll e'er stand true to cheer.
