An east end man went down town i'll
u Euclid motor Il few days ago, and by
the time the car reached Durham avenue
he was fast asleep. The conductor came
after his fare, but the citizen was obliv-
ious of the fact. The conductor reached
forward and shook him. The citizen
swayed slightly, but he didn't wake up.
Then the conductor reached forward
again and gave the sleeper a violent
push. The latter merely shook himself
and then growled i'll Il distinctly audible
voice:
"Quit your pushing! There's plenty
of room on your side"
The laugh that followed woke him

of Fryeburg to Dr. John f. Wadsworth
of Skowhegan, took place at the home
of the brides father, MIR. John Locke,
Thursday afternoon. The parlor was
beautifully decorated with pine, fir and

and carried white carnations. Miss
Sarah Locke as bridesmaid wore an
apple green gown DIR. Wadsworth was
attended by DR.. Mahan of Providence,
X. !. The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Ernest H. Abbott. The wedding
breakfast was served at the close of the
ceremony. Only the relatives of DIR.

friends were present.
DR.. Wadsworth attended school here
for four years and has many friends in
Fryeburg. He was resident physician
at the Maine General Hospital in Port

bride has always lived here and with the
many good wishes for future happiness
are mingled deep regrets for the loss
of one who will be missed by all.-East-
