"Say,' said the cashier, who was
firmly bound to the chair, would you
mind tying me little tighter?''
"Whaffur?'' was the suspicious re-
joinder from the thief, who was about

Not the Whisky.
The coroner's jury in the case of Bill
Wilcox, who dropped dead Thursday
evening after taking drink at the
Last Chance saloon, decided that it was
not the whisky which brought about
the sad end. Bill had been drinking the
same brand for ID years, and although
the vitriol in it would eat up hairpin
in ten minutes the coating Of his stom-
ach was supposed to be proof against
any action of any sort of acid. He prob
ably had some heart trouble. We think
it must be So because he asked for
drink to be "chalked down." and TO
his great amazement it was handed out.
The surprise must have brought about
fatal shock TO the nervous system. The
deceased was a harmless critter, who
never even kicked about the weather, and
we hope he's brought up in temperate
climate. NJ QUAD

The convention of school
teachers will close next
week and then there will be
an exit to the other islands.
During their stay here the
teachers have learned some
thing outside the four walls
of the High School. They
have read our adve tise-
|mentS and learned where to
go when fine quality goods,
at cheap goods prices are
wanted. When they go
back to their homes on the
other islands, they will take
with them years supply of
dry goods, because the saw
ing will pay them to lay in a
stock.
Rubber sheeting is neces-
sary to nearly every house
keeper. When you can buy
them cheap, they are profit
able to keep in the house.
B]eached sheeting, in 1914
ga, S-4 and IA sizes are
needed everywhere, and it
was never as cheap as it is
now; it will never be as
cheap again, as prices may
increase after the next
steamer arrives from the
Coast.
The rage in the United
States is for Union suits for
ladies, misses and children.
We have light weights in all
sizes, suited to this climate.
These are a genuine bargain.
If the ladies are still in
fancy embroidery we wish
to call their attention to an
overstock of elegant Down
Pillows--they may be had
cheap.

Almost a Tragedy.


The car stopped at Hillside avenue to
allow a big, pompous looking man to
get on. There was but one seat in the
car that was not occupied by a passen-
ger, and that was filed by an enormous
bundle, beside which sat little quiet
looking man reading a copy of The
Windmill
"I want that seat, remarked the big
man abruptly.
''Al1 right" responded the little
one. ''Why don't you take it?''
"Well, take that bundle out of it, {"
growled the other.
Guess not" sententiously remarked
the man in the seat.
Whereupon the seeker fCr a seat called
the conductor, who informed the little
man that if he did not at once remove
the bundle he would be thrown out into
the street.
Cali right said he. "Fire awayl"
The big man and the conductor seized
him and were about to push him
through the door when a man sitting
opposite, just awakening to the situa-
ton, looked up and said:
ooh, I beg pardon, that's my bundle.
Did you want it removed?''
Then the little one wondered how
much he would have recovered in a
damage suit if he had been thrown off
the car, and the big man sat down
while his collar wilted and turned over
half way around his neck. West Med

Out of the Public.

When 1 was a very little boy, writes
Sir William Gregory in his autobiog
raphy, my grandfather. who was then
under secretary for Ireland, took me to
the chief secretary's room in Dublin
castle and formally introduced me to
Lord Melbourne.
After had been with him for some
little time he said, ''Now, my boy. is
there anything here you would hke?'
Yes" l answered, pointing TO a
very large stick of sealing wax.
That's right, said Lord Melbourne,
pressing on me bundle of pens, begin
life early. All these things belong to
the public, and your business must al
ways be to get out of the public as
much as you can. Pearson 8 Weekly.

tn. Towns Crooked Dividing Line.

''There is reason for most every
thing" said a Cumberland county man
when he was asked how in the world
they came to have such crooked line
between two towns in his county.
There's reason for this crooked line.
You see, some of our towns established
in pioneer times, when land was abun-
dant and people were few, had a big ter
ritory, which was afterward sliced off
to make new towns. 1t was so in the
case you mention, and when the cut off
was made people along the line of di-
vision were of different minds as to
which town they wanted to be in. So
the legislature drew straight line be-
tween the two parts and then provided
that persons dwelling on lands adjoin
ing either side Of this line might be IL
one town or the other, as they should
decide within 90 days after passing th.
act. Some went one way and some til,
other, and the line was all skewed n
to accommodate them. - - Lewisto..

RAILWAY PRESIDENT FINED.
He Had Violated the Canadian Fishery
Regulations.

Regulations.
MONTREAL, June 29.-Seward Webb,
president of the Central Vermont, was
given an unpleasant reminder of the
Canadian fishery regulations the other
day. His special car had waited him to
st. Agathe and he had enjoyed two days
of good fishing. On the evening of the
second a game warden called at the pala-
tial private car for few moments inter
view with President Webb. The porter in
resisted the officer. but the latter in
sisted. Mr.. Webb on hearing the trouble
and angry voices came out on the plat
form.
