cause it was n good joke on himself.
Many years ago, before the railroad
was completed to Bangor the general
who was then living in Bath where

visit to the Queen city of the East
In those days the ladies' used to
carry their bonnets when travelling in

as it had cost goodly sum. He came
to Augusta on the cars, stopped over
known as the Cony house, and, next
morning, took passage by stage for the
East. The day was cold and raw, for
it was in the fall of the year. but
throughout the - miles ride to Ban

stage coach and Rugged that bandbox

When, about S o'clock in the evening
the stage drew up in front of the Ban

voice. called out to the driver:

Where is it," shouted the driver.

man." she replied.
This rather surprised Smith, and he
informed her that that particular
bandbox was in his charge and did
not belong to her.
So a hunt was made for the missing
head gear without success. and the
old lady in desperation said
That must be my box near the
young man. Look it over and you will

The box was examined, and 10, the

A an investment only,
n the lots on Capitol
Heights will prove fifty per

To the small saver a lot rep

that better than wasting the

You may want one but feel
