A Calendar Collection.

Some time ago, Portland paper
spoke of the large collection of calen-
dars made in that city by Health In
spector Carney and Plumbing In
%, not counting duplicates. 1t further
more said that it was the largest col
lection in the State. Now they made
slight mistake there, for Stephen ].
Hegarty. the Journals telegraph
operator, has been collecting since the
present calendar season opened, and he
has 49, not including duplicates.
The collection is very fine. Among
the 20 which cover nearly every inch
of available space in his room. are
some very handsome ones. There are
all sizes and shapes. The latest adj
ton was a mammoth calendar which
nearly covered a wall Some of the
calendars are veritable works of art
Mr.. Hegarty's collection is the largest
one in this city, and unless the Port
land gentlemen above referred TO nave
made additions to their collection, II Is
safe to say that it is the largest one in
the State.
Mr.. Eegarty has displayed great
taste in arranging the collection and
choosing the calendars to add to it.
They represent all kinds of scenes, from
the oriental to the historic. The insur
ance companies contributed largely
to the making up of the collection.
