Then naiad or some fairy Of the

there a boat met them, with two gen

them just in time. Mattie's strength

A MASCULINE WOMAN.

Millet. Boosting Of her proves

and horses. She told us at lunch to-
day that She could swim like fish.
You heard her.
The idea Of hating woman, a
sood-Iooking girl like that too it's
unnatural, Cap, said his friend.
Don't You remember how, once or
twice during the war we huzzaed at
the mere sight OF a womln's face?"

Funeral of Principal A. H. Files.

The funeral services of the late Andrew
H. Files, at his late residence yesterday,
was very impressive ceremony. There was
large attendance of the pupils of the
North school, and the casket was fairly
buried with flowers brought by them. At
the head was the floral tribute of the family,
a large pillow, with the word father upon
it.
e All of the twenty-five teachers in the
North school were present, as were also
those who have formerly taught there.
Nearly all the principals of the Grammar
schools of the city were present. A delega-
ton of four from his lodge of Odd Fellows
attended, but took no part.
The services were opened by singing by
the quartette. Then Rev. DR.. Jenkins read
passage from Scripture and followed with
an appropriate address, laying special
emphasis of the great usefulness to the COM
munity of the life that had just ended, and
the difficulty of filling his place. A prayer
was then offered and the quartette sang
again.
At the grave prayer was offered by Chas.
Rich, son of Andrew Rich, a theological
student and classmate of Instructor
George Files of Bowdoin. The pail bearers
were Rufus Hinckly. Orlando M. Lord,
William H. Brownson and J. r. Libby.
The burial was at Evergreen cemetery,

THE PRESS PORTFOLIOS.
A Few Hints to Those Who Are Taking
Any of the Series.

Those Who Wish to Take Advantage of
Land Photographed" Series Should Do
So at Once.
Now that thirteen numbers in the Famous
Paintings series are ready one can get a
good idea of the quality and size of the book
the whole series will make. Such a volume,
in an ordinary binding would have sold for
from three to four times what the whole
thing will cost, complete, when bought
through the PRESS. The quality of the
paper is the same as in the first class sub
scription books and with new plates, new
descriptions, and everything fresh and COM
plete the book will be one that will be an
ornament to any collection. Three hundred
and twenty large reproductions at cost of
a little more than half cent each. And
what a complete introduction to modern
art the book will give to one who has not
had the privilege of examining the paint
ings or higher priced reproductions of
them.
Surprise is usually manifested at the first
inspection of the parts of the Potter-Bradley
atlas that such work can be sold at so low
a rate. 1t is indeed remarkable that four
maps printed in the very highest style of
map making, with all new discoveries and
boundaries corrected to date, each with a
complete index and description, can be sold
for fifteen cents. But it is a fact and those
interested should examine at once. We have
had many inquiries about binding those
parts, as many feared that this part of the
expense would be quite large. But the pub
fishers in answer to enquiries assure us that
they will be able to furnish neat and SER
viceabe bindings at very low rate,
probably not over 81. 90 at the most, so that
the complete atlas can be obtained at a low
price. Parts one, two and three can be now
obtained and part four will be here in few
days.
Those who wish their "H oily Land Photo
graphed'' series bound at the low rate We
are now offering Us cents, should not de-
lay. The arrangements we have are with
local binder to put them into covers which
have to be made and lettered specially for
the purpose. AS these covers have to- be
bought in large quantities to insure a low
rate, we are not at all sure that we can con-
tinue this rate after the present stock is
exhausted. Parties who wish their volumes
bound should either bring them in or notify
us of their intention to do SO at once.
The ready binders for America Photo
graphed'' and Famous Paintings of the
World'' are handsomely lettered for each
series and are highly ornamental. We can
furnish either at Sl.00 each OF $l.25 by mail.
These bindings will enable one to secure
the complete book at considerably lower
rate than if bound in the usual way.
By little trimming the four parts of the
Panorama of the Worlds Fair can be bound
with America Photographed, thus perma-
nently preserving pictorial history of the
fair among the Their views of American
wonders. We have few more sets of this
series left, which can be obtained at forty
cents each OF ten cents for single parts.

A PROHIBITION STORY.
Mayor Baxter Told 1t at Temperance
Meeting in Fryeburg Sunday Night.

Mayor Baxter and wife made a trip to
Fryeburg last Saturday and returned home
Monday. Sunday night the mayor addressed
temperance meeting in Fryeburg, having
been especially desired to express his views
as regarded Prohibition. He emphasized the
fact that Prohibition effects two great
things, of the utmost Importance. First 1T
keeps the sale of liquor out of the sight of
the young men, and second, 1T makes it dis
reputable Then he told the following story
as an illustration of the great value of these
results of Prohibition.
Seven years ago an Englishman came to
Portland from London. He had letter of
introduction and recommendation to Mr..
Baxter from a man residing in Manchester,
Eng, whom Mr.. Baxter knew and who had
been here to Portland and visited at the
Mayors house
The Englishman was about forty years of
age and of prepossessing appearance. He
told the following story: He said that he
had been a tea merchant in London, and
was fairly prosperous. But he became the
victim of liqour and got more and more I'M
der it's influence.
Finally he decided that he must take a
radical step. He had heard that in Port
land, Me-, United States of America, liquor
was not publicly Sold His weakness was
that if he saw other men drinking, he could
not resist the temptation to do the same. If
a man asked him to take drink he had to
do so. But if he could be where he could
not see other men drink, he could resist his
appetite.
Therefore he had settled up his business,
left his wife and family as well off as posi-
BILE, and come to Portland to try to get
something to do.
He had got this letter to Mr.. Baxter, and
could he help him to a situation of any
kind. Mr.. Baxter was inclined to doubt the
story at first. 1t was hard to believe that a
man could be possessed of such weakness in
the sight of liquor, and yet of such strength
in the effort to escape from it, as to take
this desperate measure of crossing the
ocean to seek employment where he had
heard he would not see liquor.
Mr.. Baxter gave him letters to several
Commercial street firms, saying that the
man had been tea merchant and that his
Judgment in the selection of teas might
prove valuable. In about three days the
man returned. He had applied for work
without success. Mr.. Baxter gave him other
letters to firms in various kinds of business.
In three weeks the man returned again. He
had applied everywhere without success
and was about discouraged.
Mr. Baxter said to him: You'd make a
good insurance SOLICITOR He gave him a
letter to an agency and soon the man re-
turned. He had been engaged at 81 week.
He was glad OF even that, saying that all
he wanted was a foothold. and he was conf
dent that he could make himself valuable.
The 81 would keep him from starving. In
two years he was receiving $500 year.
