Hereis another problem of the

he gave it to Smith and paid the

Two Horses Burned.

Engines in the railroad yard gave an
alarm Tuesday evening about 1O:4O for
fire in the Fall Mountain Paper Co. IS
saw mill in North Walpole The alarm
was also given in that village and the
firemen hurried to the scene. The
steamer was sent from here and the
Abenaqui and Bridgeman hose COM
bined and took over one cart When
they got there the mill was past saving,
SO they turned their attention to pre-
venting the fire spreading to the log
piles, and after five hours work had the
fire all out. Two horses belonging to
the Fall Mountain Paper CO. were
burned. This is quite loss as it was
one of their best pairs. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but some people
think it was set, accidentally or other
wise, by gang who have used the
building the past summer on numerous
occasions when they "tapped keg."
When discovered the flames We're about
in the middle of the building, and it is
more than likely that the fire was set.

Sunday was an ideal day for yacht

A strong south wind was blowing all

were had.
l saw a freighs wagon on the Sax
tons River road few days ago that is
nearer perfection, from roadmaker's
point of view, than any before seen
about here. The tires were nearly five
inches wide and the forward wheels
were set in SO as to maxi narrower
track than the rear ones. The wheels
did not sink into the ground even in
sandy places, but rolled the road down
hard making an excellent path. If
there were few NOR. of such wag ons

and the Soldiers Home at so slight ex-
pense. The picnic will be in the beau
tiful grove in front of the Soldiers

There is not a moment during the play
when there is the least perceptible lack
of interest, and when the curtain drops
everyone leaves the house much better
for what they have witnessed. The

ceptionally strong from leading men,
