A., they are residents o! neither town nor county, have no government, no bosses, no improve- ments, expenses or taxes. In fact, Hibbert's Gore folk are political or- phans, occupying a little slice of land wedged in between Waldo, Lincoln and Knox Counties—a patch of field ard forest left out in the cold by an error in surveying. This 500 acres should have been included in Lincoln County when that great section of old Maine was divided into several counties in the year 1827. No one ever took the trouble to rectify the error, and so for 85 years, the inhab- itants of Hibbert's (originally Ilib- bard’s) Gore have been going on their own hook, or, as the natives say, “ain’'t nowheres! ™ It lies between the towns of Liberty, Somerville and Washington, and is about half way Letween Augusta and Penobscot Bay. At one time a dozen families lived on the Gore, but being somewhat re- rote from schools and stores and the land not fertile, they gradually sold their holdings and moved away, leav- ing three of the farms occupied by ac- tval residents, 12 in all, including four youngsters who are sent to school in Palermo, the parents pay- ing their tuition, aided by a state ap- propriation. The balance of the ter- ritory is owned by people living in adjoining towns, who cut hay and pasture their cattle on the once or- cupied farms, No taxes are raised in Maine's or- phan township; the one bit of high- way which runs through the Gore is kept in repair by the residents and SHODIOILOSEOPLOTIOFH: SO, PHOFSOHOFUHOHH0SS05408T, % MEN WITHOUT A COUNTRY g SPECIAL TO THE LADIES: land owners. Schooling is paid for by the individuals as stated, and that iz all there is in the municipal line. Nobody seems to want the Gore, and the Goreites seem to be contented to stay where they are. If they join some other town they willhaveto pay taxes, which will cost them more tkan they pay now for schooling and roads. If any town takes the Gore in —and some have considered the mat- ter—the town will get less in taxes from the Gore property than it would pay out in keeping up the roads and establishing a schoo] or providing for the education of the scholars in the Gore. So both sides are content to let the Gore alone. The peculiar status of Hibbert's Gore has brought about some amus- ing situations in the past. The fact that it is in no county and in no town has led to the false impression that it was out of the jurisdiction of 2l law and its territory could be a paradise for freebooters of all kinds. A smart man, who owned land on the Gore, drove all his stock there from his neighboring town just be- fore Assessors came around in April. When the Assessors called they found his home barns deserted They assessed taxes on the stock on the Gore just the same, and threat- ened to sue him if he didn’t pay. It was rather a game of bluff, but the man thought it better to pay than to run the risk of having the cause of Gore go to the State Legislature and perhaps have his land there attached to some town where the taxes were high. Lincoln County stands as a sort of protectorate, as the land was originally a part of that county, al- though the Gore is altogether outside the county lines, but the titles toI ==PHONE 669399 FOR For Fresh and Clean Goods at All Times PURE FOOD E: B WZP.IPILLANS STORE (AT the TO THE VICTIM OF TIRE TROUBLES: .THE GREAT PROBLEX 4} LAST SOLVED?

Youth must have its way, and it was the part of wisdom, to trust youth's vigor rmh-l er than maturity’s counsel. There is much to be said on both sides of the question. One may re- mark that Alexander conquered the world before he was 30, but Napo- leon was beaten by a man past 10 and Jackson was 45 at the battle of New Orleans. The fortunes of the Southern army were intrusted to Robert K. Lee, aged 54 and certainly no one will claim that any command- er could have donc better, while the Northern armies failed again and again until Grant who had turned 40 also turned the scale of victories.

Strong protest is being made in South Australla against the continual slaughter of such rare birds as the ibls, the egret, cranes and spoonbllls to sup- ply the demands of milliners. The slaughter renders South Australla even more prone to plagues of grass- hoppers, and is a prime cause of the decline of its fish resources.
