have a camera. as can be attested to by
thousands of the camera fiends all over
the country.

A good story is told of a young couple
in Maine town who We're recently
married. They thought they had
everything arranged so that they
would not be discovered in the start on
their wedding trip. They had the bag
gagemaster come to the house and
check the trunks, and these articles
were not taken to the station until the
train whistled, so that no one could
decorate them in the truly artistic
style that many think bridal trunk
should be decorated. The trunks were
taken right out of the wagon and
loaded at once into the car
Word had reached the young friends
of the couple that this start was to be
made, and they laid deep plot to
cause the young couple double sur
prise by taking them totally off their
guard. No one was at the station to
see them off outside few of the
friends, and there was no throwing of
rice. Nothing was said of their being
married. On the train, however, was
the villain of the story. He was con-
nected with the railroad. AS his stock
in trade he had simply rice and glue
for working the deed that had been
allotted for him to perform. The
trunk was covered with the glue, and
then over all was placed several
pounds of rice that would certainly
stick for a time.
There was also valise that had been
contributed for the occasion with sew
eral presents on the inside. This valise
was treated in the same manner as the
trunks, and after it had thoroughly
dried, the porter of the Pullman car IN
which they travelled, was bribed into
carrying the thing to the couple.
All was going well, and they were
both sitting reading. so that no one
when the porter arrived with the pres
ent all covered with rice. At once the
whole carload of people, understanding
the joke, We're laughing heartily. 1t
was an immense surprise to the
couple, but not any larger than when
they arrived at the hotel for which
they were bound, and saw the trunk
looking like a mass of rice, with the
stuff dropping off on every side.

THE THANKSGIVING OUTLOOK.
Still Too Early 10 Tell the Price Of Turkeys :
Eggs Are High,

1t is still a little early to tell lust how
much the Thanksgiving dinner is going
to cost. 1t cannot be decided yet
whether it will be turkey or plain
chicken, that the common people will
eat in their thankfulness Not dealer
will commit himself by saying what, in
his opinion, will be the price of the
festive turkey. If the turkeys do not
take a brace before another week, all
will have a turkey, for, according to
the market reports of Friday, the tur-
keys We're rather low and at the retail
price would not go over 20 cents a
pound. Yet a rise may follow at any
minute.
Manager Collins of the Swift Beef
Companys local house. says he cannot
tell anywhere near what will be
charged for the turkeys, this year, as
he has not been advised thus far
about the city now, so it is all guess
work. But it is safe to say that the
turkey will not be so expensive, this
year. One reason for this opinion is
the condition of the chicken market.
They can be bought at retail in this
city at is cents a pound, and they are
good ones at that. This will be likely
to make market for turkeys low, in
order that they may be sold.
The man who buys turkey. this
year, for the family must not be too
particular, as the dealers say there will
not be many native turkeys upon the
market, most of them coming from the
West or from Vermont. This latter
class is as a rule. Western turkey
that has been brought East six or
seven weeks ago alive, and fatted in
Vermont. This covers all the require
ments of having good one, however.
as they are here ready for the market.
and are as rule very fat
Fresh eggs are going to make a man
groan when he buys them a little later,
unless there is change from the pres
ent outlook. They are now very
scarce, and the general run of eggs
commands price of 90 cents a Dozen
They are likely to travel up even now
The vegetables for the table are very
low, this year, and good specimens of
all kinds, are to be procured.
Apples are firm, good ones being
about 50 cents peck. Oranges at 80
and bananas are cheap, and of not the
very best quality. Grapes will be at
the same price, and the nuts are the
same as last year, being quite cheap.

Bandmaster Howe of the LIST Regi-

by telegraph with Colonel Corby of the
4th Missouri Regiment who offered Prof.
Howe the position as leader of the
band Wednesday. Recommendations
were telegraphed by General Richards
and Colonel Kendall. and it was sug-
gested that a transfer be made instead
of having Prof. Howe and his few men
who are going, mustered out, and then
re-enlisted, as it might be possible that
the war department would not enlist
more. A telegram received from Col.
Corby, late Friday afternoon, said he
had full authority to enlist musicians
and for Prof. Howe to be mustered out
here first of all.

AN HISTORIC PICTURE
0nelT Of the Grave Of a RevoIu-
:, .-1kz
tionary Statesman. ME
Remarkable Coincidence Connected With
Another Photograph and Glue.

Chester H. Messer of this city, has a
picture taken by himself in a New
Brunswick town in 1897, that he values
highly, as it is one with which there
is a history connected. This history is of a
man who was oneof those who signed the
Declaration of Independence, and who
firmed English sympathizer. The pic
ture is of the place in Dufferin, N. B.,
where the remains of the traitor now
lie, and the place where he fed after
escaping from the hands of the Ameri-
cans during the Revolutionary War.
Matthew Thornton was the mans
name. He lived in New Hampshire.
and he was the third to sign the
famous Declaration of independence.
He became an English sympathizer
soon after, and was placed in prison,
from which he escaped and went to
Dufferin. While there he lost his
family and home by the hands of the
redskins, one day while he was away.
When he returned home that night his
family were all slain and the house
in ashes. He found but one thing that
had formerly belonged to him, and that
was his family Bible, and his Masonic
Jewel which was in the Bible.
He died later and was buried in this
town. The churchyard is desolate
place. as shown by the picture in Mr..
MesseKs possession.
