Miss Brush of Cambridge.
Robbins has got nicely settled in his hotel,
and indications are that it will be run in
good order. New furniture from cellar to
garrett has been put in, and everything about
the building is clean. By the Way one of the
finest spreads" ever given in the county was

were taken care of. Everybody present en-
joyed the feast.
Bill Doane is the owner of a handsome Ian
tern and as he does not put his light under
a bushel" he always keeps it well filed and
trimmed. The other night he had it at the
hotel, and while it's owner was enjoying the
sumptuous banquet, some of "boys" took
the wick out and quietly awaited further de-
velopments. In the course of time Doan pre-
pared to go home, and picking up the guide
to his feet +" proceeded to light it. Match
after match was burned before he caught on
to the joke, and then amid the shouts and
laughter of a room full of witnesses, he quiet
ly lighted a cigar and departed He now
keeps one eye on that lantern when there are
any boys around.
