\ Dishonest Princeton Waterman.
Thomas Holmes, night Waterman over the
business houses Of Princeton, was bound
over to the grand jury last week On a charge
of burglarizing the grocery store OF Deleno n
Son while supposed to be engaged in the
discharge of his 6uty protecting the prop
erty of his employers, Goods we're missed
from the store at diverse times, and it was
at length decided to set a trap for the thief
withou, letting Holmes into the scheme. The
doors Of the store were connected with the
Office of Judge Knox, aud a man named Burr
was employed to sleep in the rooms. On
Monday night just before twelve, the bell
rang. and Burr rushed down, and reached
the north door of the store, just in time to
see man approaching from the front door.
II was Holmes, and the city marshal being
called, placed him under arrest Some fine
cut tobacco and few cigars were found in
his pockets. The citizens Of Princeton are
divided as to his guilt or innocence, As he

A CHAT WITH THE GIRLS.


Remember girls this is leap year and if
Charles Augustus is rather backward about
coming forward, you have the great oppor-
tunity to help him out without being at all
rude" ANY ambitious girl who goes over
into 1889 without being able to write Mrs"
before her name will show herself sadly
lacking in womanly strategy and diplomatic
art And right here. girls, while we are
talking in this confidential way about this
matter we might as well view it from a
practical standpoint You should bait your
hook for the right fish, always bearing in
mind the cold, frosty fact that ability to sport
high collar and toothpick shoes will never
fill the -four barrel or run the furnace, and
although Charles Augustus may be able
to twirl his cane in thirteen different ways
and look as sweet as chocolate cream, yet
this fact will not fill the potato bin or cause
the pork barrel to bulge at the sides. 1t is
also an excruciating fact that the ability to
dance like an angel" and look as languid as
last summers grasshopper will never buy
the baby new pair Of shoes or pay for ball
of darning cotton.
These are small crumbs of truth that are
often overlooked in the absorbing ecstacy Of
graade passion. But there are many brutal
things in this world that love is powerless
change. And grocers, milkmen and butchers,
are just those hard hearted ruffanly kind of
individuals who will insist on having cash in
exchange for their goods. BY all means
girls drop your lines into the great sea of
matrimonial possibilties-but be extremely
cautious in hooking your fish that you do not
catch sucker.

A Correction.

To the Editor of the Kennebee Journal
My attention has just been called to a
statement going the rounds of the papers that
there are over 10000 paupers in Maine, en-
tirely supported by towns and cities, and
6,378 partly supported at an annual cost of
1861, 1929
These figures are so far from the true
ones and so misleading that deem it proper
to make the correction at once in the tempo
rary absence of Mr.. Matthews. We have
returns from every city and town in the
State, and the exact figures are as follows:
Number wholly supported, 2,544; number
partly supported, 6,9sS; total cost for one
year, 1852, 1926. This includes insane
paupers, boys at the Reform School and
girls at the Industrial School.
