classes of V. J. Fortier passed a pleasant
afternoon at the academy, Saturday.
A costume party was planned and en-
tered heartily into by the children.
Many of them arrived attired in all
kinds Of costumes, and during the after

parents and friends who had gathered
Among the characters represented were
Uncle Sam, farmers, yellow kids, Jap
anese girls, old maid, clowns, policemen,
imps, Dolly Warden. sailors, Boy Blue
and crossing sweeper.
The chief entertainer was 5-year-old
Everett Brigham who, as Uncle Sam,
assumed management of the party. He
received the prize of a box of chocolate,
but like the generous fellow he rep
resented, he distributed the good things
among his people. Preston Burns, as a
farmer, also created much merriment,
as did Willie Mcmahon, as an old maid.
Ethel Allison and Abbie Rawdon were
attired as Japanese girls and entertained
with a dance of the country they rep
resented. The affair was very pleasant,
and it is possible similar party will be
held before the end Of the season.

THE AMERICAN RUBBER CO.

There are a great many people who be-
lieve in rubbers, but who say they find it
hard to get rubbers that win wear we'll
1t is quite true that if you buy rubbers at
random you often get some rather poor
articles. There is very easy rule to fol-
low, however, in buying rubbers which
will insure your getting the best rubbers
that are made. The best rubbers are al
ways branded, generally on the bottom,
with the manufacturers name. There are
two or three excellent brands, but perhaps
the American Rubber Co. make about the
best rubbers that are made.
The American Rubber Co. have an enor-
nous factory at Cambridge, Mass, where
they make nearly 100000 pairs Of rubber
year. Next time you buy rubbers ask for
American" rubbers, and see that the
brand, american Rubber Co." is on the
bottom; then you are all right BY the
way. II you will drop postal to the Amer
lean Rubber Co., Boston, they will mail
you copy of a pretty little illustrated
book, entitled How Rubloers Are Made. .
It's interesting and instructive. 80

LIVELY MORNING BLAZE.

Saturday Morning.

was called out about 2,3O this morning
by fire in the wallet shop building"
at the Highlands. The building was
large wooden structure owned by the
estate of the late A. NJ Sawyer. The
third floor was occupied by Charles
Eninger, in the manufacture of wallets,
about u hands being employed. He had
recently added new machinery and had
put in a new engine. Appearances indi-
cate that the fire originated near the
steam boiler and the entire third floor
and roof are burned. The fire alarm
bell at the Highlands did not work, and
some little time was lost on that ac-
count The fact that the fire was con-
fined to the upper story Of the building,
and that other wooden buildings in
close proximity did not take fire, shows
the excellent work done by the firemen.
Eninger's stock and machinery were in
sured for $780, and the building for
$500.
