S. of v. and Ladies' Aid Fair.

While the storm ragged with unabated fury
Monday afternoon and evening the Sons of
Veterans and Ladies' Aid Society gave their
first annual fair and supper at Memorial
hall Preparations had been made for a large
fair, to be followed by supper and dance,
but the attendance was small, on account OF
articles in the afternoon, aud although the
number of visitors small most of the
articles were sold. The attendance at sup
per was larger than in the afternoon and the
well filed tables were surrounded by a
hungry crowd, who found most tempting
repast awaiting them. Following the sup
per drawing of articles took place and the
results were announced. The large framed
picture of Thomas H. Mars hall Post, G. A
R., was drawn by Frederick W. Brown, the
outline quilt by Martin Patterson, and the
name quilt by W. l.. Hall. Mrs. Wallace w.
Shaw received the largest number of votes
as the most popular lady in the Aid Society
and was awarded beautiful sofa pillow.
The attendance present did not warrant
holding a dance and the remainder of the
evening was given to whist. The affair was
an all-around success and the amount re-
ceived will reach nearly fifty dollars. Every
thing passed off pleasantly and good man
agement made the guests feel at home.

Representative Hill of Belfast.

Augusta spondence Bangor News
Way mp in the back row of seats is
camped sharp eyed Solon of spare frame,
but WHY aud energetic who bobs up III the
house with considerable frequency and is
ii .eless worker. He is Representative Mel
vile e. Hill Of Belfast. Yesterday morning
lie introduced a memorial asking that
Congressman Roberts of Utah be unseated
and that the Maine legislature express its
disapproval of his course. But the matter
referred to the committee on federal
relations, that committee hasn't had
enough to do since the It gislature convened
to Keep the dust off Its shoes. And Park
hurst of Bangor, who is on that committee
we'll as chairman of the committee on social
relations, really wanted something TO do.
Think OF Parkhurst, one of the swellS of the
house, on that staid committed 1t is
suspected that he was put on there for
a Legislative joke. This committee will
ascertain the exact number of wives pos
SesSed by Congressman Roberts and report
them back to the house in alpha betiCal
order.
Another measure introduced by Mr.. Hill
yesterday, an act to create a lien on
monumental work. At first thought it
might seem embarrassing to have the
provisions of this act operative, as it might
mean a large collection of second hand tomb
stones which are not a very saieable com
modify in the market The act intro
duced, however, not for the purpose of
allowing the marble worker to cart the mon
ument away from the cemetery, if not paid
for, but more particularly to make people
cautlOnary about grave stone contracts and
not order a job lot of monuments unless
they can see their way clear to pay for
them. Mr.. Hill is one of the violent opposi-
tionists to the road commission bill.
Representative Hills aertuess is doubt
less due to the business and official training
be has received. He has been selectman
tax collector, treasurer, superintendent of
Northport campground, proprietor of the
hotel at Northport, owner of general store,
school teacher, farm manager, trial Justice,
and president of the Mountain Spring Water
Co.

One of the most striking elementsin
Chinese life is It's solidarity, AS wen
known, the family has much larger
function than with us. The marriage
OF a SON does not break In upon the
family life, but enlarges IT, the daugh-
ter.in-law becoming incorporated In
the family OF her husband, Several
generations may be welded together
in one home, the authority OF the
elders becoming the more absolute
with time. Growing old Ia certainly
