Now and then we hear of girl type
writers capturing the hearts and bank
accounts of their employers, or their
employers sons. In the day of wom-

reversed. Already the first case has
been reported in the male typewriter
OF St. Paul who eloped with and mar
ried the daughter of his millionaire en-
ployer. Why not give the boys an
equal show with the girls?

I'd Regiment Company Team Match.

Bright and early Tuesday morning, Col.
Harrington and the crack marksmen Oh
the Second Regiment were at the 2o
wards range. 1t was the occasion of the
annual company team match Of this reg
iment. Each company was represented
by a team of seven men and each man
had. seven shots at this distance. The
conditions were very favorable and good
work was done.
Co. K of Calais carried OF the honors
with 193 points, and the four other prizes
were taken in order by Co. c of Bath. Co.
e of Skowhegan, Co. l. of Houlton and
Co. + of Dover. The new companies
from Gardiner and Bangor stood at the
bottom as was to be expected, but they
made a most creditable showing and
their scores as given below show there
are some good shots in their ranks. Their
score was a good number of points bet
for than that of the lowest companies In
the First Regiment match. Monday. The
total score of the second regiment com
pany team match was 212. against 1t4z
made in the first regiment company team
match. Monday. The constant improve
ment is most pleasing to all connected
with the guard, and to Col Harrington
most of all.
The full score of the match is given De-
low. the companies being arranged IN
their order of excellence. There were
prizes, handsome pictures of battle
scenes, for the five with the highest

cooking, Tuesday afternoon. There were

1t is really very profitable for those who
care to take advantage of up-to-date
cooking in a line that covers many prep
arations of food.
The process Is principally on the line
of preparing wheat in its perfect form.
In this way, the wheat of itself takes
breakfast food. to- the many kinds OF
breads. biscuits, cakes. etc.
In other ways, it is demonstrated In a
very charming and clear manner by
those in charge of the work, Mrs J. A.
Tewksbury of Boston, and Miss Diana
Stevens of Portland. how the wheat In
perfect form can be used in making a
substitute for pastry. and with various
kinds of meats. salads. ETC., and everyone
Is given an opportunity to eat some, to
try it for ones self. Lobster la Wor-
cester. tomato salad. mushrooms.

those which are prepared.
The shredded biscuit Is a specially
which is, perhaps, as popularity known as
any.
The demonstrators of this process of
utilizing the wheat, carefully cleaned and
all that, but still in its perfect form,
give what one cannot afford to miss who
cares to investigate what may well be
called the New Era of Cooking"

Isl Regiment and 1t was the event ST
the day. After the usual ceremonies
OF the parade the new list Regiment
formation" was tried and carried out
with striking success. It Is q fancy
movement very pretty to witness and
its perfect execution reflects much
credit upon the work Of Col. Kendall.
The customary dress parade being
over the regiment started by echelon
then turned and marched back in
double column. Hating and facing in,
lane was formed through which the
staff and colors passed while the reg
iment saluted. Then the companies as
the band passed through fell in behind
and marched to the quarters. The
while thing was splendidly done. Dur
ing the early part of the parade while
the band was marching in review the
horse of Major Timer, which had been
acting badly all day, fell and threw his
rider. pinning him to the ground. The
major escaped injury, however. and
pluckily remoqnted his horse and re-
manned at the head of his battalion.
The largest crowd of visitors yet seen
on the field during the encampment
was present at the dress parades and
to enjoy the evening concert. The con-
cert. which was by the I'd Regiment
Band. began at o'clock in front of
general headquarters. Scores of teams
were gathered around with hundreds
of persons scattered among them, ana
the long piazza was crowded with
guests of honor. 1t was a cool, delight
full evening. Over by the guard tent
the boys built huge bonfire to help
out The moon which kept lodging be-
hind the clouds.
AS usual, many of the Guard had per-
mits to leave camp for the evening.
Many went to Hallowell to a dance.
And right here the signal corps got in
SOIIlC WOIh. DullHG luc udys 4lcul
Butler had kept his men busy, as he
did, in fact, good part of the previous
night. A platform had been built on
the roof of the signal corps mess house,
another platform built in a tree on the
top of the lofty hill behind the State
House, and still another place arranged
in Hallowell. Men stationed at each of
these three places with signal lanterns
kept communicating back and forth
and the camp officers were kept con-
stantly Informed of what was happen
ing in Hallowell and how the men con-
dutced themselves. Tt shows how prac-
teal is the work of the corps. The men
know their work and do it we'll.
The band concert lasted over an
hour and then the visitors and the dis
tinguished guests at headquarters went
back to the city, leaving Camp Powers
to the sole possession of the boys in
blue The men had had very busy
day of it but it was a late hour before
the camp quoted down. AS usual,
quite a number had trouble getting in
by the vigilant sentinels. There had
been rumors that the camp COM
mander would order the long rolf
sounded during the night and make the
men hurriedly turn out and form in
battle line as if to repulse night at
tack OF course such a thing would
be good discipline, but Col. Kendall
thought the men needed rest and sleep
more than a midnight drill and so the
order was not given.

Today. Sham sai.Ie

The interesting feature Of today at
Camp Powers will be the sham battle
to be fought, athis afternoon. It was
first proposed to have it take place in
the forenoon, but the plans have been
changed so that it will come. this after
noon, beginning probably soon after 2
and hills off to the southwest of the
camp, and all the movements will be in
full view of the camp. The public is
cordially invited to be present and en-
joy the mimic war.
The forenoon programme at the camp
win be as usual, and in the afternoon
the I'd Regiment will have the Gus
tomary drill. But the LIST Regiment,
instead of drilling, will take its exercise
in the engagement One battalion will
be posted behind a stone wall and wifi
be attacked on either n, flank by the
other two battallions of the regiment.
1t Is regretted that there Is not room
enough for both regiments to take part
in the conflict. There will be lots OF
smoke and noise, and all that goes
with grim war except rthe dead and
wounded. No doubt a large crowd will
be at Camp Powers. this afternoon, to
watch the battle. The days work will
close with the usual dress parades, and
there will be band concerts in the eve
ning ,t ,,e ,;
