POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democrats of Rockland have nom
mated for representatives to the legisla-
ture, Thomas Glover of Ward 6 and
Obadiah Tolman of Ward I.
The Portland daily press., 1892-07-26

At the caucus of the Republicans of
classed towns of Falmouth and Cumber-
land, held last Saturday evening to NOM
mate candidates for representative to the
legislature, Samuel Ross was nominated.
1t is announced that Franklin G.. Pay
son, ESQ.,, has declined a denomination to
the legislature from this city. This de-
cision is to be sincerely regretted, since
Mr.. Payson made an excellent record in
the last House, and would have welded
still greater influence in this.
At convention of the classed towns
Yarmouth and North Yarmouth held
Saturday the 23d, Clarence L. Buchanan
of Yarmouth was nominated for repre-
sentative to the legislature. At the
caucus held the same date E. d. freeman,
N. D. Buchanan, Joseph Young and Ly-
man B. True were chosen delegates to
the district convention.
The Republicans of Buxton have
chosen F. A. Smith, J. f. Warren, j. M.
Leavitt, W. S. Bradbury and A. W. Han
son as delegates to the District conven-
ton, and j. A. Fellows, A. J. Perry,
Charles Butler, Thomas Tarbox, F. j.
Leavitt, John Bergman, W. S. Bradbury
and F. A. Smith to the county conven-
ton, Thursday. Delegates from Hollis
are G. P. Harmon, Baxter Smith, FL. N.
Bradbury Jr. and Howard Wakefield.
Phillips Democrats have made two
unsuccessful attempts to hold caucus
to nominate candidate for representa-
tive to the legislature. Their first call
was brief in the extreme, and to it no
names were signed, simply ''Per Order,
Town Conn., Again trial was made, but
this time, although the notice was some
what more extended, a mistake was
made in the date and the names of the
committee and secretary were lacking.
Still undaunted by these two failures,
another call was posted Saturday night.
This is quite lengthy, but some think
that tthere is still room for improve
ment." If they fail to nominate on this
notice, there will be no Democratic can
didate, as the month Of July will be fin
ished ere they can call another.

HIS TIME WAS VALUABLE.
A California Banker Paid 81 a Minut. bv
an Insurance Agent.

For two or three years a tall vouno
man representing an eastern. life in.
surance company has been stavino
from time to time at a San Francise0
motel. his name was Fenneu and
many people have been smiling audi
oly lately over an experience he had.
Vne morning recently, according to
the San Francisco Examiner story. he
rushed into the Anglo-Ca bank
ana said to the president, who was
very busy writing;
\ would like to see you, sir, just for
few minutes"
Il can't talk to you this morning.
said the president. @My time is too
valuab bic. I've got an immense amount
OF work to do and can't possibly stop.
Minutes are money to me now"
hat is your time worth, anywayf"
demanded the agent, with slight as
perlty, lily eoncealing his disappoint-
ment
"A dollar minute responded the
banker with equal promptness.
"All right" said the agent, reaching
into his pocket and drawing forth Z
twenty-dollar gold piece. @1'll take
twenty of them and talk twenty min
utes
go ahead" said the man of money,
raklng down the coin.
Then the insurance man rolled off
beautiful story with scarcely punctu-
alton mark in it, the banker all the
time holding his watch.
"You can't insure me-" said the
banker.
"All right; but you 1isten," was the
response.
He talked till the full twenty min
utes were up. Then the financier put
his time piece in his pocket, firm rs
ever as to his conviction that he need
ed no insurance. Moreover, he kept
the 500.
Mr.. Fennel went away disgusted.
Since then he has not paid anybody for
his time.

II was one of the party Of eight
once held up by lone highwayman,"
said 2. j. Marlin, bridge contractor.
to a Gtobe-Democrdt man. Il was
travelling by stage in Montana. The
party consisted of two army officers, q
speculation, four miners, and myself.
The stage had been held up pretty
frequently, so we all went fixed for
trouble. Every man had q brace of
six-shooters and we were just aching
to have the road agents tackle us, at
least we talked that way. We COM
mented very unfavorably upon men
who yielded to the demands of the free
hooters without struggle, and prom
ised them warm time If they tackled
was the speculator, a red-headed man
with squint. Finally one of the
army officers asked him what he would
do is the robbers attacked US, and he
replied that he did not know.
Gas we swung around sharp bend
in the road the stage pulled up with
and almost before we knew it we wese
looking into the barrel of Winchester.
Well, sir, that lone robber marched as
out and stood US up in line with our
hands above our heads. Then he
threw each man small sack and made
him pull it over head. We all COM
piled but one. The red-headed specu-
lator pulled his gun and shot the
bandit so full of holes that he died be-
fore he could touch the ground. Then
he climbed up, knocked the driver of
the box and drove the stage into the
next, station with the most crestfallen
lot of braggarts aboard that ever wore
a gun and neglected to use it"

Not on the Bill of Fare.

Fritz is his name. Failing to sue
ceed as horse-car driver, he sought
and found employment as waiter in
downtown restaurant. 1t did not
take the customers long to learn that
Fritz was green hand at the busi-
ness, and they proceeded to guy him.
Fritz stood the storm we'll, but the
proprietor of the place became angry,
particularly when Fritz was ordered
to serve impossible dishes. One day a
solemn looking man told Fritz to bring
him a sirloin steak, fried potatoes, and
a cup of coffee. Having finished that,
the patron said:
"Now let me have slice of water
melon pie and some muskmelon tarts.
Be sure to have them hot"
Fritz hurried off to the kitchen. In
a few moments a great row was in
progress. and the unlucky Fritz came
flying out into the dining room ably
propelled by the foot of the lusty cook.
He escaped into the street.
"Vy," said the cook in his indigna-
ton, "if dot feller stayed here mooch
longer he would have been taking or
ders for fried icigles."-N. Y San.

JERUSALEM GRAVEL WANTED.
How Commodore Meade Checkmated an
Unreasonable Contractor.

A story Is told in navy circles, saws
the N. 7. Recorder, illustrative of the
ready witrQf Commodore Richard W.
Meade, the newest addition to the ros-
ter of naval flag officers.
Five or six years ago Secretary
Whitney assigned Capt Meade Gas he
then was) to the command of the
Washington navy yard, in which the
great government gun foundry is sit
uated, When the annual estimates
were sent in to the department for
stores and material an error was made
by clerk which led the department
into the making of contract for sew
eral hundred tons of gravel which was
not needed. 1t should have been
black molding sand. The contractor
was hard-headed Scotchman, and at
the figure he bid he had fine thing of
it.
On going to the navy yard to arrange
for the delivery of the gravel the COM
mandant informed him that it was all
a mistake, that the gravel could not
be used, and that the best thing to do
was to cancel the contract. The Scotch
man was astonished at this, very nat
urally, and then he got mad, and con-
cluded to be bull headed. He said he
had the government down in black
and white, and he proposed to bring
that gravel along, and to get pay for
it, too, according to his contract.
The commandant glanced over the
contract, and discovered that it rested
with him to specify what kind of gravel
was to be furnished. Then he recalled
that in his early life he had seen, when
serving as a MILDLY in the orient, some
peculiar gravel which was said to be
found only in the neighborhood of
Jerusalem. As quick as wink he
said to the Scotchman- that after all
some use might be made of the gravel,
if it was only the right sort; in fact,
the navy was badly in need of a guam
tity OF just such gravel.
The contractor growled that that
was something like business, and he
was g'ad the commandant was coming
over to his view of it.
Capt. Meade then explained to him
with particularly and great good nat
ure that the gravel required was of
such and such nature, and he could
get all he wanted of it near Jerusalem.
On it's delivery, he added, he would
take great pleasure in seeing that it
was fairly weighed, inspected and paid
for.
The Scotchman took his hat and
walked out without a word. He has
never said "gravel" TO the command
ant since.
By this ready piece of wit Capt.
Meade saved the government several
thousands of dollars.

NIilkin' Time.

How cool they look, how long they drink, the
