GOSPEL MISSION.
Annual Address to the Veteran Fire
mems Association.

The services at the Mission yesterday
were appropriate to the Thanksgiving
season. At the 10. 80 a. m. service the
theme was PRAISE and very spirited
season was enjoyed by all present. In
the evening the services were attended
by the Portland Veteran Firemen's as
ISOLATION, in body, about seyenty-fve
being present. The service opsnedaby a
song service. which was entered into
heartily by the Veterans. Rev. S. E..
Pearson, the paster, read several selections
of Scriptures, and offered vary earnest,
fervent prayer of Thanksgiving. Mr.,
Pearson chose for the text Second
Corinthians, 9th chapter, 18th verse;
"Being enriched in everything to all
bountifulness. which causeth through us
Thanksgiving to God" From these words
Mr.. Pearson pointed out the abundant
ability of God to preyide for every GREAT
ure, also His Willingness TODD 80, and he
also makes 1t imperative on our part to
comply with the conditions upon which
each of his promises rest. When this is
done we have full authority by the word
of God not only to ask for, but to expect
such answers in bountifulness that will
cause the heart to be filled with continued
tina nksgiving to God as our father and
provider. At the close of the sermon a
collection amounting to 1924 was taken
for the Thanksgiving charity fund. "God
be with you till we meet again" was sung
and the service closed with the benedic-
ton.

vANcEBoRo MANS WILD RIDE.
He Attempted to Shoot Partridge from
the Back of Bridleless Horse.

One day recently, Charlie Thomas, Of
Vanoeboro, who was up the lakes, con-
tracted with Sim Conrad to bring
horse to Vanceboro which had been up
there during the summer grazing. When
he came to look around for bride with
which tosguide him down, not a strap
nor halter could be found except an
old saddle minus the stirrups. This he
strapped upon the nag's back and boldly
mounted him, trusting to his instinct to
keep the road. Now Charlie is quite
hunter and of course had a gun with him
hoping to shoot partridge on the way.
All went we'll for a time, the bridleless
horse behaving splendidly and Charlie
began tossthink that bride on horse
was nuisance. He had not gone more
than a mile or so when he espied part
ridge and quicker than flash he brought
his gun to his shoulder and let her go.
Whether he killed the bird OF not will
never be known, for quicker than strea4
of Jersey lightning that horse shot forth,
and Horace Greeley sFEmemorable ride in
Hank Monks overland stage coach would
sink into insignifcance compared to the
ride Charlie took for about four miles.
| The natives ON the Woodstock road
| thought it was one of Buffalo Bill's Wild
West cowboys out on rampage, for the
hatless rider swinging his gun, going a
| two-minute Egait on bridleless horse
over ayrough, corduroy road, was sight
not often seen in this part Of the coun-
try. But as everything comes to an end
SO did Charles ride, for the horse soon
became tired of his wild fight and meekly
| walked into town as if nothing unusual
had occurred. But Charlie says the next
time he goes hunting on horses back he
will have a bride fitted with curb bit

STABLE DAMAGED BY FIRE.

THE alarm OF lire from box 25 at 10. 81
1os eirht called the department to
ma. i the large boarding md batting
stable kept by H. E. Mansfield on
Lafayette street. The stable adjoins the
house and stores that front, on Congress
street. The corner store is occupied as
fruit and confectionery store the other by
Mr.. E. Leavitt, barber. The fire was
evidently of incendiary origin as the
hostler, Mr.. Peter Keefe had been in the
stable . few minutes before and every
thing was all right. After leaving he
went to the woodshed which adjoins the
hay loft for some kindling wood, and
then to his room. He was preparing to
retire when he heard the cry of fire. The
several members of the family had retired
excepting Mrs Mansfield, who sat alone
in the dining room. The fire originated
in the small elevator we'll which runs up
to the hay loft. The shaft or we'll is
directly back Of the stairway which leads
from the street to the upper part of the
loft occupied some few years ago as club
rUUIu. AAS oeoifWoy as prctcCb6u IrOIn
the street by substantial door which
was looked at the time OF the fire. The
flames worked their way out through the
stairway and then leaped to the upper
story where they set fire to the small
quantity of hay stored there.
There was considerable delay in getting
the first hydrant stream in working order
SO that the fire worked its way further in
to the hay and made the blaze more stub
born. There were fourteen horses in the
stable at the time, but they were taken
out in safety.
The damage to the house and stable
will probably reach $1,000. There is a
policy of $4,000 on the property In the
agency of W. A. Allen of this city, The
fire was confined entirely to thu stable.
the only damage to the house being by
smoke and water. The all out signal was
sounded at about twelve O'Clock.

Wharves.

Yesterday large gang of boys pro-
ceeded to hold carnival at the Grand
Trunk sheds. According to the agent
they threw gravel from the roofs, and
played ell manner of pranks. Each boy
carried a whistle, and the united efforts
of the gang made quite a ittlel pandemo-
mum. The Waterman of the elevator was
told to have two Of them arrested, and he
did so. At the station Deputy Sterling
says that the watchnan said when he
brought in the two boys that they, with
others, had been racing through the great

Later he requested that they be dis
charged as, others had been as mis-
cnievous as they, and were at large, and
he did not wish to appear against them.
The boys were accordingly discharged.

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
ScrofuIous Humors How Cure
Was Effected.
"When five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. tt
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
It appeared in the form Of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. NV
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsapsri,Ia
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and it has never since returned ,,
