of their charming duets, we are always
glad to see them on the platform, Miss
Louise Strathern sang in her well known
and pleasing style, and Mrs. ]. Fl. Cades

One of the Boys!

An aged gentleman, upwards OF one,
hundred years old, called at the home OF
l.. F. Currier the other day to rest, hav-
ing walked six miles. He had four miles
further to go to reach his destination,
learning which Mr.. Currier very courte-
ouslv offered to drive him, but the old
gentleman declined the proffered ride, as
serting that he was accustomed to walk
ing, liked the exercise and it did him
good.
The old steps to the overpass at the
station were replaced by new last Fri
day, and while the work was i'll progress
that end of the overpass was boarded up.
Shortly after the old steps had been taken
out the dog owned by E. J. Parsons
walked over the bridge, and not noticing
the removal OF the steps, being near
sighted, down he fell to the ground a
distance of about 20 feet. He kicked and
howled for a while but ultimately recov'
cred and quietly trotred off very much
surpris dog indeed. The judge Will
have to get glasses for that dog.
