An Englishman hailing from the
north went into the Chatham hotel, in
Paris, recently and cautiously asked
the price of whisky.
zone franc sir" replied the bar.
tender
"And whisky and soda?"
zone franc, sir. All drinks are the
same price
The Englishman sat down and. to his
establishment, found that the place
was run on American lines and that
the customers helped themselves at
their own discretion. He punished
that bottle of whisky till it was near
ly empty. AS he went out he paid
down his franc, but the manager call
ed him back and said. You have for
gotten your change"
II thought that the drink was n
franc"
THAT is so. sir" was the reply.

East SkOwhegan.

On account of the storm before town
meeting there were only three present and
eighteen absent voters in Dist. No. IL
and on the river road from Dudley's
Corner 10 Clinton line there were only
two present and on the Eaton and Curner
road only four were able TO get there.
Had the roads been passable and the
voters in this part of the town attended
the meeting the result might have been
different No wonder there was consid-
cradle excitement electng our selecimen
when they get 81 100 for their services.
All are we'll paid for their services except
the experimenting school committee. BY
a special law they get no pay tor their
services. A correspondent OF the Ken
nebec Journal says movement was made
by the Democrats to depose Mr. Emery
and John r. Gage was opposed to him.
1t is nothing new for this town to elect
one Democrat on the board of selectmen
to hold the balance of power. K. F:
Parker was elected ON the board and
everybody knows he Is Democrat and
both parties have elected him every year
since 1891. Horace Eaton was another
Democrat and both parties elected him
for eight or ten years and the town
thought he was a good man for the office
In relation to a road commissioner the
town really needs but one and he should
be located in the village Every highway
district has men capable of managing
their own road affairs and will do it give
them the proper authority and save the
salary of road commissioner in the rural
districts. We are paying two much
salary and it is no wonder that men want
an office in this town. A. *.
