Here is a case OF a Bath man who
saw through glass darkly. He has
recently been wearing colored glasses
and left them the other day in a Bath
bank. After ascertaining there where
abOuts by telephone, ne started for the
bank to regain the lost property. Be
fore he arrived, however. one OF the
officials covered the glasses with black
paper. The owner placed them in his
pocket on his arrival, but on being
Informed that he could not see any
great distance through his dark glasses
he bet cigar that he could read a sign
across the street. He was very much
surprised before he discovered the
joke.

1t is said that one fourth of the pa
per made in the United States is pro-
duced in the Androscoggin valley in
Maine. The estimate is probably a
rough one: but the Androscoggin is ad-
mirably suited to paper making and
these advantages have been literally
improved. The effect of all this paper
making is, of course. to deplete the
magnificent forests about the Range
ley lakes, forests that are at once or
namental and preservative of the
moisture that makes the Androscoggin
such a splendid manufacturing river

Julian Story writes long letter 70
the Bath Times explaining that the
only reason why his famous wife,
Emma Eames. declines to sing at the
Maine festival. next fall. is because
she had planned to be in Italy at that
time, and to sing would mean two ex-
ira trips across the Atlantic and the
breaking up Of her well-dcserved vaca-
ton. Were it otherwise she would be
only too glad to favor the Maine audi
ences which are so proud of her.

ly restful frame of mind. Three OF
them were young, the other an elderly
fatherly-faced man, who was the CEN
ter of the jollity, man to whom you
would willingly appeal if you needed
a friend. 1t was he who passed bottle
to the others with cordial insistence,
and they were not 10th to accept. A
terrific gust of wind struck the car
against its side as the conductor came
in and called for their tickets. The
leader kindly urged the bottle upon
him, too, saying:
Its wild night; you need it; it will
do you good, my fellow!"
My heart almost stood still. Instant
ly the CHEEKY tones of the conductor
rang through the coach above the
storm, not a hint of preach in his
voice, no implied censure for the gentle
mans mistaken kindness: ''Oh, thank
you" he said, "thank you; [ smile, but
don't smile that way. Tickets,
please!" And he passed on with reas-
suring words concerning the storm.

Day was breaking family across the
pain that tells of infnity when our
train debouched from the canyon. Den

snow mist. The passengers began to
bestir themselves. Fresh as Phoebus
came again our young conductor.
Speaking low, l said:
Il have passed a good deal better
night because l heard you say you

With quick apprehension he replied:
I'm glad our company doesn't allow
drinking. We need our heads always
in such work as this. And don't touch

Good coffee will gradually destroy

The Leadville train was three hours
late. A storm had come down from the
north, and all day the rotary snowplow
had been dashing its cataract of crystal
spray against the bare walls of can
yons and among the tops of evergreens,
to keep the mining camps along the
High Line from being walled in, when
might mean famine. Old settlers said
the depth of snow was already unpre-
cedented except in that winter OF
1854, when the whole camp of Wood
stock was swept out of existence bya
snOwslide.

Discovery of Alcohol.

Alcohol was first produced by AL
baeasis, an alchemist, in the eleventh

an Arabian word, alkahol, which was
given to an unpalpable powder used on
the face, and this substance was sup
posed to resemble it, hence it was called
alcohol.-Journal of Inebriety.
