Found Refuge in Por,Iand.

The other day woman left Manchester,
N. H., for Lewiston, under peculiar clrcum-
stances. The woman's husband died last
spring, leaving her in condition that prom
ised posthumous offspring. Some few weeks
ago the woman's father died, leaving her
destitute. She had, or supposed she had, a
sister residing in Lewiston, and thither the
Manchester authorities sent her. Upon ar
rival at Lewiston the sister could not be
found, and the Lewiston authorities shipped
the woman to Portland. She applied at the
police station for aid, and asked for bed
and physician. Deputy Marshal Sterling
didn't send the woman off with gruff ans
wer. he sent over to Ruby's, bought hot
supper for her out of his own pocket, and
then, after consultation with Dr. Way, sent
her to the Greedy hospital. where she will
probably remain some time. as DR.. Way says
1t would be dangerous to remove the patient
even If such thing was thought of.

The Cream disagreed with Them.

The other evening, Mr.. Malcolm Robinson
who lives on the shore road at the Cape, was
sitting In his parlor reading. His mother
had gone to her room. The house sits close
to the road, having but small front yard,
and in the yard large tin creamery mad
been placed to keep the milk cool. A noise
was heard in the yard, and Mrs. Robinson
who few minutes before had looked from
her window and seen a picnic wagon pass,
thought some of the party had entered the
yard. Mr.. Robinson, however, VINO mad
heard the noise, was sure OF 1t, for ne mad
stolen out quietly and seized young man by
the nape of the neck, who had broken into
the creamery and was passing the cream TO
his comrades in tin dipper.
Mr.. Robinson is young giant in strength,
and before the young thief had chance to
know what had happened Mr.. Robinson
marched him into his parlor where he had a
good look at his face. and told him he could
pay for the cream in the creamery which he
had spoiled, or it would be hot weather for
him. The culprit asked what the damage
would be, and was told So. The culprit and
friends demurred at the price, but were told
1t was So or trouble. Finally, after thor
ough search of their pockets they produced
the requisite sum, and the young men drove
eff in their wagon to the city. They won't
probably rob any more creameries in a
hurry.
