..lvnwood"- a Pleasing Drama.

Jessie Harcourt and C. X. Harris.
assisted by their company. gave re-
markedly fine rendition of the four act
drama .Lynwood," Wednesday even
ing. That they. are achieving success
was shown by the attendance which
was by far the largest they have yet
been accorded. All were greatiy
pleased with the acting that was pre-
sented. The drama is one founded on
a scene in Kentucky during the Rebel
lion. and is filled with dramatic situa-
tions, with now and then pure comedy.
Miss Harcourt in the leading role
displayed her rare accomplishments.
She appeared very attractive and with
her fine acting, added scores of friends
to her fast swelling list. Mr.. Harris
had a difficult part. but he filed 1t to
perfection. Thomas Carroll was pro-
nounced most villainous villain
which is high compliment to his
work. Miss Maud Halle and Miss Bes-
sic Hunter. as well as the other mem.
bers Of the cast, are deserving Of COM
mendation. The specialties were as or
previous nights, excellent.
They will repeat THE Iron Hand.
this afternoon. while Mother and
Son." a strong drama, will be present
ed, this evening with new specialties.

The tailor trade in suits is said to be
a bout three weeks ahead of the ready
made trade. This is accounted for by
the fact that the people who buy Gus
tom made goods, study out what they
desire and have it cut earlier. as they
realize they must do so to have it by
the time they want it. The ready
made people buy their clothes wher
they feel in need. of them, many never
thinking of what they want until they
visit their clothier and look over the
stock.

THE NEWSPAPER GRABsER.
Ne is Often Free Hearted But will Never Blu
Newspaper.

DO you see that man with the fur
cOat?' asked the news agent. as he
paused for moment on his trip
through the cars on the way down
from Waterville. The man in question
showed every sign Of being a rich man,
and was evidently free-hearted one
for he had treated to railroad cigars on
the trip, and had bought an interesting
book Of the news agent.
THAT man is what is known as a
paper grabber." remarked the agent.
He rides a great deal on the train and
often spends a dollar or more on a trip
with me. but he was never known to
buy paper. He sits around and
watches until someone gets up and
leaves a paper on the seat. and then he
makes a dash for it and proceeds to
read. He is never so deeply interested
that he cannot see others leave their
papers. and unless there are Othe"
competitors on the spot. he usually
gets three or four papers on trip.
The news agent explained that there
were many Of these grabbers, and that
when they resembled a bum he usual
~ managed to get a chance to ''swipe'
the paper. but where they were good
customer; like this one, he said nothing.
In this case he remarked it was only
a hobby. 1t is said the same expert
ence is gone through with in the large
hotels with these paper grabbers.

Ghost Fairies.
When the open FIRE IL lit.
In the evening after tea,
Then | like to come and sit
Where the fire can talk to me.
Fairy stories 1t can tell
Tales of forgotten race
OF the fairy ghosts that dwell
In the ancient chimney place.
They are quite the strangest folk
Anybody ever knew,
Shapes of shadow and of smoke
Living in the chimney flue.
Once" the fire said, long ago.
With the wind they used to rove
Gypsy fairies, to and fro,
Camping in the field and grove.
"Hither with the trees they came
Hidden in the logs; and here,
lowering above the flame.
Often some of them appear.
So | watch, and, sure enough.
| can see the fairies! Then,
Suddenly there comes pun
Whish.-and they are gone again!

is as powerful a one as any that served,
and from the peculiar tactics that OBJ
tain in the navy it can be made much
more efficient than such a battery

fact, the army tactics provide for no
such formation. In the column of the
Naval Militia there was also a detach-

The civic bodies, Independent COM
panies, the emi-military organizations
and the children then took up the line
and ran from the Independent Rifles
down to the Board of Supervisors. At
the head of the children's part of the
column was the Columbia Park Boys
Club, with nearly a hundred in uni
form: then after the Native Sons of
Vermont, the State of Maine Associa-
ton. the Ohio Society and the Fraternal
Order of Eagles, the various companies
of school children came. They all wore
distinctive uniforms, and in many there
was an evident desire to have arrange
