Its use is universal among all bicycle
tourists.
This tour has thoroughly convinced me
that
The Bicycle Offers
by far the best means of seeing foreign
country, if the roads are at all good, and
nearly all Europe is blessed with good
roads. Mounted on wheel he can go
out of the beaten path of travel, can see
the people of the country and towns, as
well as the large cities. A country seen
by the wheel is different place from the
same country trayersed in a railroad car.
For health and pleasure it is without
compare. At the end of the tour we
were brown as berries, and were blessed
with appetites that only an elaborate
table d'hote could satisfy; and in spite
of the vigorous exercise the party gained
in weight.
This brief sketch can convey but a
faint idea of all we saw and enjoyed. Nc
day was without its novelty and pleas
ure, no evening without something worth
the seeing. We have gained health,
strength and friends; we know some
things we never knew before, and have
recollections that money could not buy.

IN BLUE GRASS STYLE.
Yesterdays Sale of Horses at the Barrett
Farm in Deering.

Although Maine is one of the greatest
horse raising states in the country and
her products IN the equine line have been
notable for more than half a century, it
is seldom that she has ever attempted a
public sale of her we'll bred stock. Such
sale took place yesterday afternoon at
the stock farm of the Barrett Brothers
in Deering.
They offered at auction some of the
best bred stock in Maine and there was a
goodly attendance. Not only were the
best known horsemen of Maine but
manyrepresentatives from Massachusetts
and other states were represented in the
two or three hundred present at the sale
in East Deering. 1t was notable event
to see so many horsemen assembled,
among them Mr.. G. H. Nelson, the
owner of the king of stations.
There were two hundred people at the
grounds, and a large proportion of them
horse buyers if there was "money in it. !"
The horses were shown in true Ken
tuckian style, and for the most part
brought good prices.
The sale took place from an elevated
position and fair chance to show the
stock. 1t was conducted under the
/ auspices of an experienced horse auc-
tioneer, Mr.. Conant of Lowell, Mass.
Sir Junius, a four year old brought
1910; Mamie w. and Gideon Girl $685.
Everene W., 1920 and Westland, Jr..
$500. The colts were sold almost at ran
dom. The four month old FLY, Carrie
T., brought $50.
Mr.. E. e. Cross peid $50 for foul
months old Westland colt, beauty with
great action.
Mr.. Edward Fletcher purchased pair
fine bay colts and a number of Massachu.
sets gentlemen present secured colts and
fillies of the choice stock disposed of al
this sale.
For commencement it was a fine be-
ginning for Maine in the way of well
bred horses and the fillies were largely
sold to people out of the State.

STRICKEN AT HIS POST.
Sudden Death of MI James Harris, for
46 Years in the Portland Post Office.

A familiar. figure will never be seen
again in the Portland iPostofice. For
nearly half cententury Mr.. James Har-
ris has been; a. faithful servant of the
government. He was first appointed to
a position in the Portland postoffice 46
years ago, and in one capacity and an
other has been connected with the offic e
ever since. Years ago, he used to go out
on the road at times, but of late years he
has been letter clerk and has been daily
at his place in the big marble building.
Mr. Harris was the first man who ran a
postal car from Boston to Bangor, and
from Portland to Island Falls. In the
sixties Mr.. Harris, as the result of politi-
cal changes, lost his regular position.
But even then he was veteran in the
business, and his services were so valua-
BILE that, while not regularly on the rolls,
he found employment in connection
with the Office until reappointed to a
clerlship during the postmastership of
the late Judge Goddard.
Mr.. Harris virtually died at his post.
He was at his work at shortly after 8
o'clock last evening, when he slipped
from his seat to tne floor, unconscious.
He was removered to his home on Cot
ton street suffering from apoplexy and
died at 100 o'clock this morning without
recovering consciousness.
Mr.. Harris was Is years of age He
was the son of a prominent Portland
family, his father, Deacon Harris, having
been leading merchant. In early life
the deceased was clerk in his father S
store. Mr.. Harris is survived by Mrs.
Harris, a son who is a resident of Massa-
chusetts, and daughter who is one of
the teachers in the School for the Deaf.
He was member Of the Citizens
Mutual Relief. Mr.. Harris was a
genial man whose jokes and bright say
ings made him general favorite among
the force in the post Office. DULY about
an hour before he was stricken down,
''Uncle Jimmy as he was called, laugh
ingly challenged Mr.. Heffon, the janitor,
to foot race on the new mile track.
Mrs. A. V. Thompson.
Mrs. Martha Thompson, wife of DR..
A. V. Thompson, died Wednesday OF
spinal meningitis, which caused a stroke
Of paralysis. Her age was 40 years. She
was woman OF lovely disposition and
fine attainments. A large circle OF
friends mourn her loss and extend sym
pathy to DR.. Thompson in his great be-
reavement. There were prayers at he1
late residence yesterday morning and the
body was then taken to Eaton, N. H.,
for burial, accompanied by DR.. Thomp-
son, who will be away until Saturday.
