The sign "a Practical Hater, which
appeared on "A store front in Lewiston
the other day, created considerable ex-
citement Public spirited citizens col
,ected an the street, and an investiga-
ton was at once set on foot to ascer-
tain Just what relative Oh lSeelzcpup
had taken up his residence within.
AS the citizen mounted the stairs they
saw a door ahead on which was printed
the word Halter" With circumspec-
ton they pushed open the door ana
saw-a demure old French Canadian
busily sponging a dilapidated derby
hat while many other hats around,
snonged and unsponged, showed be-
vond doubt that the sign below was
truthful as far as it went.
A model in every way is the report of

paper man appears in the report. and
makes the otherwise dull details OF a
hubble document luminous with round

The report summarizes well the work

recommendations.
1t is said that certain Lewiston
man is spending his spare hours in
bui,ding a horseless carriage, which
will be seen spinning over the roads

Boston Traveller: 1t is strange what
a memory for faces some people pos
sess. A Postoffice square business man,
native of Maine, but who had not visi-
ted the state Of his birth for % years,
told me yesterday of quite remark
bile incident of this kind. He was
passing down Bromiield street on MS
way to business when his attention
was arrested by a picture in one OF the
big show windows on that thorough
fare There's a face | know he said.
as he stopped to study the painting.
But where" he thought. have l
seen it? Crane-Uncie Jed Crane of
Kennebunkport. That's he or l am
dreaming" To satisfy himself he Went
into the establishment where the paint
ing was on view and inquired about the
picture. 1.-The painting" said the gen
tleman quetied. lis Abbott Graves
Town Meeting, and the characters
portrayed are all citizens OF kenne-
bunkport, Me-. and the face you refer
to is that of Constable Crane, one of
the old-timers of that quaint old town.
We have had dozen people in to veri-
fly their belief as to the name of the
people in the painting. You are the
second man this morning to ask about

Biddeford Record: The New York
Sunday Journal has been Offering
prizes for the best toilet receipts. a
popularity of the prize winners has
been that they called for ingredients
that had never been heard of. One
Biddeford young woman made the
rounds of the Biddeford drug stores
with one of the receipts and there was
not a druggist in the city who could
fill the formula or who had ever heard
of some of the principal ingredients. A
Cleveland woman wrote the journal
that she had had the same experience
in that city. Now the same paper is
publishing cooking receipts that are
equally mysterious. The winner of the
prize yesterday told how to bake black
bass. Two pounds of fish call for II
quart of sweet brown beer.""a grated
honey cake" two inches square and
enough other stuff To fill water pail
Another receipt told how a delicious
potato salad might be made from a
couple of potatoes, four punches of eel
cry, half a dozen onions and eight
boiled eggs. Think of two lonesome
potatoes lost in that mess and passing
for a potato salad. But these are sam
pies for the helpful hints for house
keepers that are winning prizes The
prize cooking and toilet receipts and
the Boston Sunday Journals gallery
of beauties" are the marvels of Sun
day journalism.
