that is that there were many f1ne apple
! orchards about = North Bridgton which
were often visited by the boys OF my time
and am afraid they did not often pay
Tor the fruit they took away. Inns ao-
companied by one or rwo anecdotes and
some pleasant references to the pretty
girls of Bridgton for which that town
ever has bsen and 1 trust ever Will be
famous" were greeted with much APP
plause and laughter.
Mr.. Emery closed by referring in feel
ing terms to the school boys and girls
who went to Bridgton Academy with
MIN many yearssa2o.

Washington, April 16.-Ths western
Senators after several conferences have
reached an agreement to stand together
for important changes in the wool sched-
uIe of the Dingley BILL
They have not only agreed upon a line
of amendments, but have decided 20 in
sist on their being included in the bill.
Their proposed amendments are directed
mainly to closing the many Loop holes
for evasion and fraud which wool men
ollege abound in the Dingley bill and
were also found in the Mckinley law.
The principal change, however, to be pro-
posed, is upon wool and cancels hair of

you il you if you will keep the book
sent you at hand and kindly study it
and make close observations of it's
operations, and take notes Of success
and friction in its executions, dotting
down briefly and plainly any change
you would make, any section, clause
or word you would strike out, or any
