Have YOU ever thought of how tuesome
IT mus. be to be gate tender on the Maine
Central railroad? In this city are three
men engaged in this work, Frank Sears at
the Rines hill crossing, Michael Clancy
at the Winthrop street crossing and Andrew
Pike on Bridge street. These men nave
been employed at this work for many years.
Mr.. Sears having served as gate tender over
IL years and all were at work when the
Maine Central machine shops were located
here. While the position may appear try
isl in itself, yet it is very responsible one
and human lives are in the protection OF
these mems hands to quite marked extent
If We knew how many trains these men
have seen and the number of passengers
carried by, some very interesting statistics
might be provided. ~

What is plain living as generally under

Such diet is conducive to early death and

because of it. High thought operates
through loftier things than the carcasses
of butchered animals, starch, roots and

action, but chemical matter needed by
nature. Fruits travel the 33 feet Of tho

The work of stretching wires and building
the new telephone exchange is being pushed
along by Messrs. Heselton and O'Brien of
the Postal Telegraph Company, and they
expect to have it in running order Novem-
Der LIST. A feature of this system which is
new, and must be great convenience to
the public, is the establishment of
small telephone stations along the diff
ferent parts of the city, which connect
with the system, where by dropping in a
nickle, connection is made with whom you
desire. This is especially convenient to
parties desiring a carriage or errand boy
which will be part of the service. 1t will
also be convenient to call doctor during
day or night. 1t is understood the exchange
will start in with so to 60 subscribers, and
many more are planning to come in. Lines
will be extended to Hallowell and Gardiner
as soon as possible. This arrangement of
station telephone boxes will be appreciated
by great many business men who have
telephones in their stores or offices by step
ping to these boxes can save many trip
"down town."

Pleasant Entertainment.

The entertainment given in the Free Bap-
fist vestry, Thursday evening, was very
enjoyable one and possessed a rare feature
not before provided for in an entertainment
given at the church. 1t was the splendid
production of child elocution given by Miss
Verna Noyes of Auburn pretty little maid
of only four years yet evidence was afforded
that she possesses talent in this direction.
Her voice is clear and pleasing, her man.
ner graceful, and during each reading the
audience was attentively listening. AT each
selection she was heartily encored.
Ranking next in favor was Miss Morgan
who during two years was member OF the
National Home orche stra, and OF late she
has been PLAYING in Cincinnati and Phila-
delphia. Her violin solos were excellently
rendered. Prof. Gilberte's piano playing
was a very highly appreciated feature OF the
programme as were Master Stanwoods
flute solos. During the intermission OF 10
minutes ice cream, cake, fruit and other
danties were served. The programme was
