A NJ N WITH A MISSION.
He Saves the Life of an Elderly Lover
of tho Essence of JOY.

MIR. Thomas A. Cakes apparently has
a mission in life. Mr.. Cakes is the draw
tender at the Grand Trunk railway
bridge over Back Bay and his mission
seems to be to pull out of the water an
elderly man whose home is some distance
from, the city. About two years ago, at
nine O'Clock one evening, Mr.. Cakes as
he was putting out the lights in the
transfer station after the passage of a
train, heard groans coming from the
shore at the end of the bridge. He inves'
tigated and found lying on the gravel an
elderly man who had evidently drunk
hard and deep. Chow did you get
here?" asked she railroad man. II cont
know" replied the other, but by dint OF
close questioning it was learned that in
order to enjoy the cool night air on his
fevered brow, the man had taken seat
on the platform of the rear car of the
train. There he sat until the train
stopped at the transfer station. when he
decided to leave the Car. "He stepped
off and it was long STEP" said Mr..
Cakes, "for he never stopped until he
reached the gravel. twelve feet below. He
was on the wrong side of the car and
stepped over the edge OF the bridge.
I had to hunt up crew of men to hoist
him up again and then we made up a
special train of a shifting engine and a
car to take him to the city he was that
far gone. Well, it was about one O'Clock
Thursday morning this week when
heard somebody hollering and SO called
Frank Carr who works with me and
we started to find out where the man was.
We found him hanging to pile under
the Portland and Rochester wharf. How
he got there I don't know, because they
are repairing the wharf and it's all torn
I'D and besides that he must have crawled
under lot of cars to get where he did,
but there he was. We went to schooner
near by and the mate turned out with us.
We lowered ladder down and Carr went
down and pulled the man round where
we could get rope round him. When
we got him to the wharf I saw that it was
the same man had found on the shore
oh, yes, he was drunk, as drunk as new
rum. We didn't make up special train
this time but had him taken to the sta
tion in the patrol wagon. guess the next
time he tries to cross the bridge after a
visit to town he will be drowned fast
enough. =
But those who hear the story told Mr..
Cakes that in their opinion as long as
he was round the man was safe. He seemed
to nave mission to gave the life of that
particular drunkard.

leaving wife and pretty little child
five years old. D,ra never cease trying to
have her uncle restore his sons wife and
child to their proper place in his home,
and finally succeeds through strategy, but
is driven away herself on account of her
success, for what her uncle calls her
duplicity. Through the efforts of the
young farmer, the old man finally sees
his error and forgiyes them all. Dora
becomes the wife of the man who has
loved her so long and devotedly.
RIVERTON PARK.
We think that the vaudeville compa-
MES that have been engaged at Riverton
this season have some of them been SUI
perior organizations, but we are assured
that when Germans merry makers come
then will be time to laugh. If you never
happened to laugh before in all your life
you will surely mingle smiles and
outlaws and look extremely happy while
entertained by these princes of mirth
creators. They are the attraction for
every afternoon and evening during this
week. and none better could be asked
for. Tho best of variety specialties are
included in their programmes. and there
are enough Of them to make the audience
fairly wonder where SO many really clever
people come from all at once.
While the merry making will BE- enjoyed
by the audiences at the park this week,
it is not altogether for the fun extracted
from it that SO many go to Rivertons
There is the elevating influence OF
superior music to which Portland people
are far from Indifferent. The Fadettes
woman's orchestra has been an elevating
and refined influence upon our people,
the value of which has been universally
recognized. No such music has ever before
been vouchsafed in such quantities. and
the result has been observed both in the
extreme popularity of the park and the
quickened musical sense of the people.

McCULLUM'S THEATRE.

Commencing tonight and con-
tinuing every evening during the week,
with usual daily matinees beginning
Tuesday, Manager McCullum and his
talented company will appear in the
beautiful pastoral drama entitled
s.Dora," dramatized by the famous novel;
ist Charles Reade from the well known
poem by Tennyson of the same title.
Dora is domestic idyl, and the story
is o natural and interesting one, equally
as pathetic as Longfellow's "Evange-
line." A brief synopsis of Dora is as
follows: Farmer Allen is one of those
men with heart twice as big as his body
and will twice as big as his heart
Years before the play opens he had quar-
relied with his favorite brother and the
two had never spoken again. Soon the
brother died, quickly followed by his
wife, and Farmer Allen adopted their one
child, Dora, and took her to his home
Farmer Allen had one son about Dora S
age, and the old man decided that the
quarrel with his brother should not be
continued after death, SO determined that
the cousins should marry. Dora loved
her cousin Will, but he had already mar
ried Mary Morrison, another member OF
the household, who was distant rela
tive, and like Dora, had been adopted by
the old man on the death of her parents.
Dora is loved by an honest young farmer
of the village. and when the play opens
1t is Christmas day, and he has been in
vited by Farmer Allen to dine with them.
He comes early and asks Dora to be his
wife, but is gently refused. Farmer Allen
then tells Dora of his wish to see his son
married to her, and Dora replies that his
wish will be obeyed by her. The old man
then tells his son of his plan, and the bow
is forced to tell of his marriage with
Mary. The old uan drives them both
from his home, and then insists that Dora
ana his guest partake of the Christmas
feast alone. 1t is not happy affair, and
Dora tries to influence the old man to
repent. He is obdurate, however, and
never forgives his son. who finally dies,

LOOK LIKE BREAD CRUMBS.

Some one has said that Grape-Nuts re-
sembled small and very hard bread
crumbs. except that they had glistening
surfaces. This glitter comes from grape
sugar, which forms on the surfaces in
process of manufacture.
1t is known to be one of the most
nourishing substances in the human die
tary.
Grape-Nuts are an ideal food.
Sold at grocers.

A field of nine starters came out for
the word in the final event of the day.
Dufour, a gelding from Louisville, KY,
drew the pole and was lucky enough to
hold it over the full course, though
forced to measure his length several times
with Othello, fayorite from Chester,
Pa. In the next heat Dufour INDUCED

turn was rounded. Othello tookssthe

In the third heat Othello went Off his
feet after getting the word and weno

nearly closed the gap, but Dufour had got
into the lead and was going level anu
could not be passed.
The fourth heat Otbelo took quite
handily, but the next time he made an
other break at the start and could not
catch the leaders. Nibbs and Pad
dy D. had it out in the home stretch,
and they went under the wire neck and
neck, Nibbs taking the heat by narrow
margin.
When the three heat winners came ont
for the WORD, the sun had just gone
down behind the Scarboro hills. They
took things easily over three-fourths OF
the course, then fought it out in the home
stretch Othello finished good length
to the good.

1t is worth while to see them drive
into one of the villages. say on Sat
urday when the country people are
gathering to do their shopping One
will see many an old negro come driv-
ing in at snails pace, clad in i'll fit
ting garments too big or too little, of
any color or no color, ragged and
patched. He slouches on the seat of his
tumble down wagon as If 1T were too
much trouble to sit erect or as If he
were about to fall over into the bottom
IF the vehicle and 60 to sleep. His steed
is mule, small, bony, starved looking,
wabbling i'll gait, very carlcature OF
his kind. One expects him every mo-
ment to stop and go to feeding on the
grass that grows near the gutter. The
wagon rattlesfrom afar. Every bolt and
screw is loose, the wheels seem about to
fall entirely off, the sidebQards sway
and the seat moves from side to side,
apparently at the peril of the occupant.
The harness is composed largely of rope
and Irvine. The lines are innocent of all
accusation of being leather One would
be willing to risk his life on a venture
that such team would never get down
the street to the hitching place by the
pump, but the zigzag journey is safely
made, with no sign OF anxiety on the
part of the driver and he halls his
| lounging comrades on the pavement
| with guffaw that can be heard mile.
The voices of the i'll clad but happy
group sound mellow and sweet and good
natured as they chaff each other. These
voices are the very expression of the
happy go lucky, idle, easy, careless life
of these people, too indolent to sound
all the syllables of their words. Yet
they are happy. To see and hear them
one would think there was no tomor-
row, nothing to be done in the world
and no such thing as care upon earth
Calvin Dill Wilson in Lippincott's,
