f. c. Allen is emulating the example of
the wise man and placing his new six-story
building on rock. The foundation will ap-
parantly be as durable as the pyramids. Jo-
seph Nicholas has charge of the job. The
granite for the foundation comes from tho
LoveJoy quarries on the Winthrop road. The
walls are to be some thirteen or fourteen feet
in heighth, tapering from six feet in width at
the bottom to two feet and eight inches at the
surface. The cellar is to have concrete
floor. In the northwest corner a chimney
81 feet high is to be built. This will rest up
on a foundation of stones imbedded in the
ground four feet. Nothing short of an extra
sized earthquake can shake down the struc-
ture when completed.

ries OF successful pictorial sketches of the
State steal. Governor Garcelon stands at a
table, looking around at his council, with the
declaration, "Whatever was done l think
must have been done by some Judas in the
camp" In front of him are bills for count
ing out the statute of 1877 with an expunyed
mark on it, and the opinion of the Supreme
Court nearly obliterated by an overthrown
executive inkstand. Each member of the
council, whose likenesses are remarkably
good, = pointing to some other councillor as
the Judas Before each lie doctored re-
turns and bills for ''extra services" At the
top Of the cartoon are several significant
illustrations of various features of the
count-out, while pair of cowhide boots with
a big white hat pulled over them, is labelled
"Remains Of pure Greenbackism." Another
represents Eben F. Pillsbury skedaddling to
Massachusetts, to escape the Hale bombshell
which is all ready to explode. Altogether
the cartoon is a most successful HIT and will
be relished by everybody-who does not en-
dorse the State steal
