Il in knitted things as
often as in woven
fabrics, and sometimes as

Certain colors will have
their day, become the rage,
then are dropped for some
thing different.
Tricks of stitch spring
into popularity, and eccen-
tricities in the way of color
combinations are in fashion
till something newer take
their places-so the afghan,
the cape, the hood, the
shawl or other yarn thing
you made last year begins
to look old and out of fash
ion beside the newer, fresh
er and always better crea-
tons of more recent date.
And this is well; it is the
life of the yarn business,
the only thing that keeps
it going from one years
end to the other. Every
body wants the latest; the
latest colors, the newest
stitch, the freshest ideas,
and information on the sub
ject of yarns and how to
use them.
To furnish all this is the
province of our yarn de-
partment.
No need to study the

Why a Pond ia Maine Was Named Alter a

Why Pond ia Maine Was Named After an
Old Settler.
The question is frequently asked,
Whence the name of Thompson pond, a
sheet of water in western Maine extend
ing through four towns and lying partly
in three counties? Tradition says it was
named from the first settler, Joe Thomp-
son. During his soiourn here he was
seriously troubled by rats He first pro-
vided himself with a stout leather bag of
the capacity of four bushels. He then
placed an empty hogshead in his log
hovel. leaving the bunghole open.
through which he dropped a small guam
tity of meat scraps and crumbs of bread
Bag in hand he retired outside to
watch proceedings. peelSing through a
small crevice between the logs Pres
emily he espied an old gray veteran APP
preaching the bangilo!e lie takes
peep, then shifts looks cautiously
about. and then enters He soon
energies from the hogshead and quickly
disappears In a trice he returns, fol-
lowed 10y a drove amounting to hun
drcds, which. one by one, disappear
| through the bunghOle.
Now" chnclllcd Joe, SIS my fun as
he skipped nrnbly through the door and
adjusted the open mouth of the bag to
the small aperture. at the same time
rapping the hogshcad with the toe of
his boot, which produced loud ringing
sound With loud squeals and fierce
struggles the frightened rats began to
| scramble through the bunghoIe, all
landing in the bottom of the bag
His first thought was to drown them
by sinking the bag in the pond, but be-
ing in a rather gamcsome mood, as was
often the case, he concluded to put the
bag in his boat and after rowing to a
good distance from the shore then re-
lease them, and with his oxgoad have a
good time knocking them in the head.
Rowing out several rods from the
shore and being in high glcc at the
thought of wreal<ing vengeance on the
''varmints" which had given SO much
trouble, he, without hesitation, united
the bag, expecting to see the frightened
creatures at once leap into the water
but he quickly found himself mistaken
Instead of fleeing or even retreating,
the rats charged in body, and with
teeth and claws 50 severely lacuriited
his face, neck, and hands as to cause
him to leap from the boat ana swim
for the shore, leaving the craft in the
possession of his one titu. victims -
