Inland in Maine, away from the sea-

Poland Spring and Moosehead Lake.
No one has really seen Maine until
they have visited Poland Spring and
seen the water flowing from the solid
ledge at the summit of one of the
highest hills in the vicinity, which
water carries the name of Maine all
around the world. The grounds Of the
resort here are especially beautiful and
marvellous views of the various peaks
In the White Mountains are obtainable
from the porch Of the hotel.
Then there Is Moosehead Lake and
| Mount Kineo. OF all the Maine fish,
| ing resorts, Moosehead Is one of the
most popular. It is the largest lake
in the State and considered to be the
most beautiful. Winding in and out
among wooded islands, now through
narrows, now through bays 10 miles
| Ing up by boat from Greenville is al
ready 1000 feet above the ocean tides
and in the heart Of great forest. The
lake Is 40 miles long. A little more
than half the distance up the lake
from Greenville Is Kineo. There Is in
the Summer life at Kineo a flavor all
its own, Q something which marks it
as different from other Summer resorts,
which is caused by the influence of the
forest.
