A FORTUNE
At Last In Grasp of
Galvin P. Graves.
Sells Invention, Studied Ouf
While In Slate Prison.
Accepts $100,000 For Improve
ment to Sewing Machine.
Fiangor, Me., June 3.—Within n coin
paratively short time, unless some dis
appointment intervenes, Calvin I*
Graves, until two years ago a prison
er in the State prison at Thoinaston
serving a life sentence on a charge of
murder, will he a comparatively ri.-h
man. as rich men go in Maine. The ill
years Calvin Graves passed within tin
prison walls wire not spent for
naught. He suffered as only a man
can suffer who lias always known the
freedom of the woods and nature’s
beauty spots and is suddenly torn
away from them all and confined in
a gloomy prison for the rest of his
days, but the decree id' the Governor
of tlie State and Ids Council have
made him a free man again and now
lie is about to realize the fruits of the
ingenuity which in- put into play
while in confinement.
On Nov. S, ISSti, Calvin Graves shot
and killed Lyman (>. Hill, a game war
den. and Charles Niles, in the woods
in Hancock county. Hill took a log
Graves had with him and killed tin
animal, claiming Hie dog was chasing
deer. In the passion of the moment
Graves killed Hill and Niles. He was
tried only for the murder of Hill and
was sentenced to imprisonment for life
in the State prison on April -0, 1XS7.
At the meeting of Gov. Hill and his
Council on Dee. Hi. H»0t. Graves’ sen
tence was commuted to 2"- vi-ars and
with time off for good behavior lie was
released from prison in lihiC, having
served mor-> than HI years. 1!*0G, hav
ing returned to his old home in North
Hancock, where his wife and a crip
pled son awaited him.
While in State prison Calvin Graves
worked in the harness shop, one of
the best paying institutions the State
lias in the State prison. It is usually
the smartest and brightest prisoners
who obtain employment in the harness
shop, for the work requires consider
able ability. Calvin Graves was a
good harness maker anil all the time
he was making harnesses for the State
he had an eye open for his own ad
vancement. He worked well and obey
ed all prison rules and he kept in his
own irind a secret which now appears
about to bring him a small fortune.
While using his harness sewing ma
chine in the prison an idea entered the
biain of Calvin Graves, an idea which
now seems destined to produce golden
fruit. lie saw a way in which Ihe
sewing machine might lie made to do
double its work, saving many hours to
the operator. Time is money and
Graves knew it and set to work to
perfect a device lo make tile sewing
machine more of a time-saver. Graves
liad many hours in the solitude of his
e.-ll in which to rack his brain over tin
problem and one may imagine bow tin
man worked and tile thoughts which
surged Ihrnugh as lie saw the possibil
ities opened to him through the per
il*. ■* ion of la's device.
11•'i< 1 set *.nt to (lo. He perfected Ills de
vipp, with only tin' tools whipli tlip
prison workshop afforded iiim. TIip dp
vipp, ns noiirly ns it is understood by
:inj of Graves' friends. for In- hns snid
littlp nl>ont it. is n sewing machine nt
taphnipnt whiplt will allow tho machine
lo spw lioth ways of flip cloth. The
yalttp of such .m attachment will read
ily ho sppn hy anybody who iisps a
sew ins machine.
<Iraves kept bis invention a secret so
far as he could. Mis light of hope
never went out and he thought always
if a time to pome when lie might once
more walk among men, a free man.
Hut the news of bis invention leaked
ait, as things will even in prison, and
it was not long before agents of one
if the best known sewing machine
manufacturers called to see Craves in
prison. The sewing machine agents
saw tiie models of Graves' device and
immediately saw the value of it. They
made offers for the invention. It is said,
and conies from good authority, that
one sewing machine company offered
Craves $20.0011 for his invention when
he was in prison. Hut Craves was
waiting for something. The $20,1.00 was
of no use to him in prison and he told
the agents so It is said they offered
to give the money to Graves’ wife and
son or nse whatever part of it was
necessary in obtaining a pardon for
Craves. Hut Craves would accept none
of their offers. Possibly lie was afraid
his position as a life prisoner would
render any negotiations lie entered
into illegal. At any rate he kept his in
vention to himself.
After his sentence was commuted
with his freedom and till his time his
jwn, Craves at once set to work to
r.ake his invention perfect, fie re
urned to his wife and crippled son,
.vailing for him in his old home at
Vortli Hancock. The sewing machine
•ompanies had not lost sight of nor for
gotten him. They came with more
iffers and with his legal status re
stored Craves felt ready to negotiate
,vitii them. A free man now, Graves
rained his invention much inure highly
ban tiie sewing machine agents did
vhile he was in prison. Repeated offers
vere refused and tile sewing machine
■ompanies found themselves obliged to
iid against eaeii other and boost the
irice.
Monday of this week Graves came to
langur. He stopped in Brewer, where
le lias friends, and to some friends
litre he said he was on his way to
slew York to sell his invention, having
iccepted an offer of $100,oon. Calvin
5raves left Bangor Monday on tiie
iteamer City of Bangor for Boston,
vlienee he will go to New ’i ork. and
vhen lie returns to the wife and crip
iled son at North Hancock, unless
rate at the last moment turns her;

long duration, and each succeeding trustee is entitled to .an addition

Unsuspected ,.urms are the
cause ot numerous little things
that go wrong with children.
When a child is sick you
rarely think that its sickness is
caused hy worms, yet worms,
either directly or indirectly, are the
cause of three quarters of all the ills of childhood.
Children, and often-tinies adults feel out of sorts, are
irritable, feel listless and unrefreshed in the morning; suffer with
Indigestion, have a variable appetite, foul tongue, offensive breath ;
rd and full belly, with occasional gri pings and pains about the navel; eyes
heavy, and dull; itching of ther.ose; short, dry cough ; grinding of the teeth;
slow fever; and often in children, convulsions—in the majority of cases the
cause of all the trouble is worms though you may not suspect their presence.
