him to be careful. The train was jus
pulling out of the station and was goinl

Everything Driving Now at the Big

A Journal reporter met W. H. Gannett

him how the work of his establishment

to do everything in their power to further
its success. have been specially touched
by the exhibition OF this spirit since the
fire.
Every employee has tried to do more
than ever before to help out the dispatch

''We expect the representatives of the

Mr. Levi Poor says that Wednesday was
the first day in his life when he could have
saved his employer $1,000 by taking va
cation. He had planned to go to the
Readfield fair on that day, but decided to
remain at home and haul paper. He
brought about $1,000 worth across the
river during the day. 1t was stored in
the wooden building and destroyed by the
fire.
One Of the young ladies of the Comfort
establishment forgot and left her purse on
the table at which she worked when she
went home, Wednesday evening. She re-
turned to her work, Thursday, with a
long face, but was overjoyed to find
among the ruins her missing treasure.
Something had fallen upon 1t and pro-
tected 1t. Although the purse Was baked
to nice crisp, it's contents were still in
condition to represent Uncle Sam,

Cha,. A. Loder. who can safely be called
the leading German dialect comedian OF
this country, and ono OF tho most enter

written for him to suit his eccentrici-

taken OF the many other characters, as
