A Good Time for All.

The Christmas festival to be given Dec.
IA, Is. 16 in the armory, by the Young
PEOPLES chapter of ST. Johns church,
promises to be very interesting enter
tainment. The opening evening Thurs

a fancy drill. Friday evening Miss Matilda
Lennon assisted by Mrs Nellie Hobbs
Smyth-, and others, will give a short
musical program. The closing evening
there will be given a musical and literary
program by the members and friends of
the chapter. The young people are work
ing energeticaliy inspired by the encour-
aGement and sympathy extended to them
by all who have so kindly consent ed to
assist them. and they feel confident that
something of real worth will be added TO
the external beauty of the new church by
this effort. dis 1t

MARIE ANTOlNETTE'S REFUGE.
Edgecomb, Me-, Was to Have Been the
Home OF the Exiied Princess

Home OF the Exiied Princess
There is building in Edgecomb. an
old. square, white house, concerning
which an interesting story is told,
saws the Lewiston Journal This ira
dition is that at the time of the French
revolution Capt. Samuel Clough, the
owner of the house. who sailed ship
between Maine and France, was en-
gagged to bring to this country no less
valuable treasure than the unfortu-
nate queen, Marie Antoinette, and
that quantities of rich stuffs, furni-
ture and silver were put aboard his
ship for the use of the exile, whose
destination was to have been this
same house, which then stood in West
port, it having been removed to the
main land on raft sixty years ago. 1t
is yet occupied by Capt. Coughs de-
scendants-
One circumstance which lends con-
firmation to this story is that similar
legend attaches to a house in Dorcnes-
ter, Mass, the famous Swan mansion,
then owned by Col. Swan. who spent
much of his time in Paris, but who set
tied permanently in this country after
the French revolution, his house being
adorned in princely fashion Now
Capt. Clough and Col. Swan had money
dealings together in Paris, Capt
Clough in 1924 having had contract
to purchase fifty thousand dollars
worth of lumber for the colonel.
What more likely than that Col. Swan,
who was warm friend of Lafayette,
should have engaged the Maine cap
tain to aid him in a plan of such great
Importance as the attempted rescue
of the French queen, with which he is
credited

The Water wsrks Election.

On the second Monday In December
18th day-a special election is
ordered by the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen to get the sense of the peo-
pie Of this place on the proposition of
water works. 1t is the duty of every
property holder and Taxpayer of the
town to turn out on that day and cast
his vote for or against this PROPOSE
tiOn. Those who oppose the water
works should mark out the word 'forr
and leave the word against" as print
ed On the tickets. All who have reg
istered and paid their taxes four
months before this election are enti-
tied to vote. Every one who pays
taxes in this town ought to thorough
ly understand the question to he de-
cided. AS we stated last week. there
Is no necessity for the proposed water
works, and 1t would be too great a
burden on the Taxpayers while it's
impracticabilty is self evident. To
