smart enough to Run the Fair.

good story is told of little girl, whose
mother is member of Bosworth Relief
Corps, which goes to show that even at her
tender age she is smart enough to run fair
The little miss is only nine years old. She
is very pretty and lady-like. When the Re-
lief Corps decided to hold fair of course
the ladies, as is customary, asked the friends
to contribute articles to their various tables.
Now our little miss thought she would do
business on her own hook. So she called
on many ladies she knew, interested them
in the fair and, when it was time to open
the fair, this little miss had secured so much
and of such variety, that a cart had to be
sent to collect the contributions.
This little miss was very active during the
fair. One evening Mayor Deering came into
the hall. The young lady waltzed up to him
and said-her bright face and sparkling
eyes attracting the attention Of listeners
mayor Deering, | am collecting some
money for the fair; won't you contributor"
The Mayor put his hand in his pocket,
took out some money, and, without looking
at it, handed it to the little miss She
thanked him and went off, but in few
moments was back again and said:
Mayor Deering, l forgot to tell you that
we proposed to print the names of those
contributing the money am collecting and
when you gave me some money you didn't
stop to look at it, and / thought you ought
to know you gave me seven cents, because |
didn't believe you would want it printed that
the Mayer of Portland gave seven cents to
the fair"
A broad smile overspread the Mayors
face and drawing his pocket-book he handed
the little miss crisp So bill.
"Now," says our little miss, 81 hear Gov
ernor ROBBIE is here, Mr.. Mayor, and / would
like ever so much to be introduced. Won't
you introduce me?"
Certainly" replied his Honor, always
gallant ''come with me-"
So the couple walked up to where the
Governor was, and the Mayor, addressing
him, said:
Governor, here is little girl who is very
anxious to know the chief magistrate of the
State"
The Governor turned, shook hands with
our little miss, asked her her name patted
her head and asked her what he could do for
her.
"Why, Governor Robie," she replied, II
am collecting some money for the fair; won't
you contributed"
"Of course will, !" replied the Governor;
what shall | give you?"
'Well, you see," said our little miss,
mayor Deering has given me So, and of
course the Governor of a State would wish
to give more than the Mayor of city,"
The Governor was quick to see the joke
and laughingly drew his wallet and handed
our little miss bill to ad the other con
tributions for the Relief fund.

AS Priyates Dennis and Hannaford, of the
Portland Cadets, were indulging in fenc-
ing bout with swords Monday evening, at
their armory. Dennis was so unfortunate as
to receive an ugly thrust through the hand,
which came very near seyering an artery,
and which necessitated surgical attendance
The following were among the guests at
the Falmouth Hotel last night: Charles W.
Welch of Philadelphia; G. d. Bisbee and
wife of Buckfeld; w. Fl. Whitcomb and
wife of Norway, J. B. Hosford of Haverhill,

Narrow Escapes.

Yesterday afternoon pair of gray horses,
attached to hack owned by Henry Taylor,
took fright on Bracket street and ran, turn
ing into Congress street As they neared
State street. a lady was crossing and the
team just grazed her in passing, but she
escaped injury. In Congress Square the
hack pole struck a glancing blow upon the
fender of sleigh containing woman and
little boy The woman yelled with force
that curdled the blood of the spectators, but
no damage was done except the breaking Of
the fender. The horses were then caught.
A telephone wire, which ran from the
Union Mutual building to the top of the
wooden building on the opposite side of
Congress Street, fell across the street yester-
day afternoon, at about the height of mans
shoulders, supposing him seated in wagon.
The wire was not easily discernible by
drivers of teams and several people narrowly
escaped serious injury. Two gentlemen
finally broke the wire in two, and carried
the ends to either side of the street.
