"What queer pumpkinI looks more
like squash, don't it?" remarked one
Lewiston woman to her visitor, lately.
"That's just what thought" replied
the other, letting her work drop into her
lap. "I looked and looked at my can,
but it was labeled Pumpkin and 30 I
supposed it must be pumpkin and made
pumpkin pies Of it; but Tom declared
they were queer pumpkin pies" "Well,
it says pumpkin and belieye-why, see
here!'' Her little girl had torn off the
outside paper and on that next the can
was q picture of a squash, and under
meath: "This squash, ETC." Henceforth
these women put no more confidence in
labels. And perhaps when Tom gets
over saying, queer pumpkin pies" one
Of them will feel more kindly disposed
towards the manufacturer whose squash
is pumpkin il pumpkin will sell better.

In these days of hurry and rapid tran
sit the dining car has become an essential
element of every through train. The
Pennsylvania Railroad was the pioneer
in the East of this branch of the service,
and Its dining cars have won well-merit-
ed reputation among travellers. In order
to better provide for the comfort of its
through passengers dining cars will, on
and after June 18th, be added to the equip
ment of all through trains running over
the lines west of Pittsburgh between the
East and Cincinnati, Chicago, and st.
Louis. The principal trains on the lines
East of Pittsburgh are now equipped with
these cars, and their addition to those of
the Western territory will greatly enhance
the convenience of passengers destined to
the three great Western termini.

in the shape of the fact, called to their at

Mr.. and Mrs. Fl. E. Pratt, of Clinton
street, gave very enjoyable entertain
ment on the evening of June I'd, consist
ing of music and Rotations. All the Sc
lections were of high order, and well rem
dered, and were listened to by an appre-
ciative audience, which numbered about
forty ladies and gentlemen.
The soloists were Mrs. H. E. Pratt,
Miss Ida Pierson, Miss Nellie Hunt, Mr..
Harry r. Barber and Mr.. A. L. Plerson.
Mrs. Pratt has very fine soprano voice,
rich, flexible and sweet, and shows high
cultivation, and she sings with taste and
feeling. Miss Pierson sang in her usual
pleasing way. She has sweet, sympa-
thetic voice, and we always listen to her
with pleasure. Mr.. Barber was in good
voice, and sang ''The Tempest of the
Heart" with great success. We are al
ways glad to hear him. 1t is needless to
add that Mr.. A. L. Pierson played the
violin finely, as usual. He is talented
musician. Miss Nellie Hunts piano solo
was played with much taste and skill. She
shows talent as pianist. The accom-
panyists were Miss Annie Leech and Miss
Nellie Hunt. Both played well. There
cannot be too much praise given to Miss
Lille Williams and Miss Ida Stout for
their Rotations. The audience was con-
yulsed with laughter at the humorous piece
entitled "The Suppression of the Press''
recited by Miss Stout. Miss Williams
selection was from Shakespeare. All
are familiar with her superior style of elo-
cution.
Many thanks are due to Mr.. and Mrs.
Pratt for the pleasant evening spent in
their house. We wish there could be more
such pleasant and instructive entertain
ments.
Yours Very Truly,
