amount of the policy, from the lodge.
Robert Sea became a member of the

TO CLOSE AT SEVEN.
Abilene Business Men Agree to Early
Closing of Stores.

Abilene, April s.-A largely attended
meeting to discuss early closing of the
stores during the summer was held in
the city hall last evening. Mayor-elect
Halleck was chosen chairman. Nearly
every business house in the city was
represented, either by proprietor or
salesman.
Several business men spoke on the
matter of early closing and all favored
it, believing that it is a good thing, and
it will be generally endorsed. All who
attended seemed heartily in favor of
the plan.
1t was voted to close the stores at
p. an. from May 1 to September 1. An
agreement to be signed by the business
men will be circulated and another
meeting will be held next Thursday
night.

Sun OR RAIN.
It Is Just the Same With the Indi-
Gator in the Weather Office.

The recording machine in the weather
bureau office has an automatic pen
which divides its time between register
ing the amount of precipitation in
sunshine.
When it SHOWS 1t tells how many
hundredths of an inch of water came
down and when the sun shines it tells
how many minutes the sun shines. To-
day the pen denotes two. Whether it is
two minutes of snowfall or two-hun-
dredths of an inch of sunshine is the
question, but 1t indicates something.
Yesterdays prediction was for fair
weather today. Perhaps the pen wants
to keep from making Cox of Chicago,
who made the prediction, from being
eligible to the st. Ananias club, so it is
sunshine.
The prediction today is for flair
weather tonight and Sunday. Warmer

SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

Miss Lee Redeem, who returned last
week from a two years stay in Eur
ope, has many interesting things to tell
Of her trip abroad. All but a few
months of her time was spent in Ger
many and she became quite conversant
with the habits and customs of these
warm-hearted. hospitable people.
While in Berlin Miss Redden spent
some time at a Home kept by an
American woman for girls alone in the
city. Two rooms of the home are given
is club of several years standing ana
as a general meeting place for all
Americans in the city.
In connection with the club is a fine
library of American publications, fiction
as well as more solid matter which may
be taken out by the members under GER
tain conditions. Many of our leading
magazines and big weekly newspapers
are to be found there as well as the
European newspapers. Three Saturdays
out of the month afternoon receptions
are given for the ladies but on the
fourth, evening receptions are given to
which the men are invited. It is need
less to say that this club is a boon to
Americans.
American girls in Germany feel at
perfect liberty to go to places of amuSe-
ments without chaperones as they do
at home, and they are not criticised by
the Germans as they know 1t is the
American custom. But the German girls
are always attended by chaperOnes.
Wheeling tennis and ether sports are
becoming popular there and are slowly
but surely breaking down little of the
formality.
AS far as the fashions go, Miss Red
den says that Topeka Is strictly up to
date" and far ahead OF Germany. An
idea that will be new to may people is
that Paris is not the paradise of shop
pers as we have been led to believe;
it is Vienna that leads and 1t is there
that all the latest styles are to be
found. There is great rivalry between
the two cities but Vienna is the more
popular and people will &c there from
Paris to shop.
Last summer, Miss Redeem with
party of ladies spent several months in
travelling through Germany, Austria, It.
ally, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Eng
land and Holland; they did not employ
a courier but had in their party lady
who had had much experience IN travel
ing and she conducted the party.
On Miss Redden'S return voyage she
was on the ocean in a storm for about
three weeks; while at the time 1t was
frightful, and almost a miracle that 1T
did not end disastrously, she says that
it was an experience of a lifetime and
she would not have missed it for any
thing.

A RECORD LUMBER CUT
For the Coming Winter Is Predicted by Pres.
Bradstreet Of Log Driving Co.

President Eradstreet of the Keuncbec
Log Driving Co. expects that the cut If
logs along the Eennebec river ana itS
tributaries. the coming winter will cx-
coed any previous season. All the sum
mer there has been a steady demand
for lumber and about all the logs that
We're cut, the last winter and Wtr" car
ried over from previous cuts have been
used There are very few logs now
along the banks and these Nil All 81
used before the winter has passed. Al
the present time, more men are going
to the woods than was ever before
known. They are coming from all di-
rections and every man that has a
horse is taking him in to be worked.
The usual cut is about 100. 900 900 feet
but this year. Mr.. Bradstreet SITS the
figures at about 0,000. 600. From this
it will be seen that the steady market
has set this part of the industry of tie
state rolling and it means very
large sum of money that will be put in
circulation.

IN" work viii be commenced on tn
railroad. 1t has always been Mr.. At
woods plan To do a part Of the work
during the winter. as his theory is thar
certain parts Of the work can be don.
more cheaply then than at any other
time. In that section ii will be neceS-
SarE To build Il great many culyerts
and cut great many trees through
the virgin forests. This work can ba
done more chcaply then than at any
season of the year. as the trees can
be removed and the stone placed in tn
region wanted. as while the snow is ~
the ground. as it it takes less men and
horses.
Regarding the route. he said that
there was never an idea in the minds
81 the builders of extending the road
to either Gardiner or Augusta. This
idea was advanced that different cities
might compete more sharply for the
road. The road, he said. is to extend
through this city. The survey will BE-
made to Oakland and from that place
the road will be extended over the line
surveyed for the Waterville & Weeks
Mills Road. The road will run in an
eaSterly direction and thus across the
mountains and hills, and for that rea
son there will be a greater expense in
grading.
ohe OF the greatest parts of the bust
ness, he says. will at first be that of
transporting pulp logs. the section
through which the road is to run he
ing rich in pulp timber.
The real object in extending ia This
city Will be that of finding an outlet To |
the sea and to place where there will !
be an open harbor all the year round |
rms Will be reached through the roads
having an outlet over the Wiscasset G.

Gor is always open.
