Many years ago, the good and gracious
Duchesse de Tallyrand ct Sagan, feeling
keenly the misery of the poor, determined
for their benefit to open to the public
each year her mansion and garden, the
most beautiful in all Paris. Formerly

ZOE suMMER VISITORS.

Pleasure resorts are growing in num-
Der each year, but with all their attrac-
tions the summer visitor should not
forget the many pleasant places round
about the city which have not been

where the shore dinner is not one of the
main sources Of enjoyment The Port

visitor to find some of these places and

HE WROTE ELS NAMF.

When the steamer Bay State arrived
from Boston yesterday morning Charles
Davis, a young man who said his home
was in Freeport, was turned over to the
local police and taken to the station on
the charge of defacing a mirror on ths
steamship, causing loss of about $50 1t
appears that Davis came on board the
boat shortly before she left Boston,
Thursday night, and at once proceeded to
the parlor where he tested his diamond
ring on large plate glass mirror, writ
ing his name with various fourishes.
There was not time to hand him over to
the Hub police without delaying the
sailing of the boat and SO he was taken
in charge by the steamer hands until the
Bay State got to Portland. Judge Hill
has no jurisdiction so he was not ar
raigned in the Municipal court yesterday.

The weather has been made to fit our

showers only add to our comfort by cool

realize that we were standing where St

deeds. We passed room after room, where
great kings had Toasted and fair queens
had slept, but one small table meant far
more than all else. Before it had sat q

tion, saw his kingdom vanish like a

his pen, explained the guide as we
looked curiously at a deep dent in the
table. Implicitly believing (Y) in the

bowed and followed on. Think of the de-

most beautiful forest in France, smooth
paths in all directions, trees centuries

to accomplish this in the most pleasant
way one should take the steamer Corinna

BANGOR'S CELEBRATION
wiIl Have Floral Parade and Chief
Justice Fuller VIII BE Present.

The chief feature of the Bangor cele-
bration of Old Home week win be a floral
parade in the afternoon of Thursday, Au-
gust o. Col. Frank d. Pullen, chairman
of the committee on programme, expects
to encounter no difficulty In getting be-
tween so ana 100 equipages in line and
every effort will be made to interest Ban
gor people, particularly the young men
and women in the parade.
The committee reckons on spending
$3.50 of the $3.50 appropriated by the city
council on music, and the Bangor, Gull
ford and Waterville bands win be en-
gagged. There are many smart private
carriages in Bangor and these together
with landaus and coaches, which can be
decorated prettily, will form an exceed
ingly attractive parade. The fire and
military companies will probably not be
asked to turn out.
The evenings entertainment viii con-
sist OF a reception in City hall where 1t
is hoped that Chief Justice Melville Wes-
ton Fuller of the United States Supreme
court, win speak. The chief justice is an
old Bangor man and studied law there
during his younger days. According to
present indications he win be there and
speak on August 9.
The receiving party at the reception
vii be composed of Gov. and Mrs. Pow
ers and various members of the local as
ISOLATION and their ladies. Owing to the
number Of people which it is expected
win attend the reception, it Is considered
| impractioable to provide anything in
the way of refreshments.
HAMPDEN TO ENTERTAIN
Mayor Chaplin of Bangor was visited
recently by two ambassadors, who repre-
sented the women of Hampden. They
said that many former Hampden people
would be IN Bangor during the celebra-
ton and that they would be charmed
| to receive them in Hampden at noon
| when the women OF the town would serve
a picnic dinner. The Hampden people are
said TO be greatly interested in the Old
Home week celebration and viii do all in
their power to make the affair a success.

Probably Forgot 1t.

Because Of the uncomplimentary
writeup of Sedgwick county which ap-
peared in The Denver Times Of Sep
tember 8 nearly ell Of the subscribers
to the paper in this county ordered
their papers discontinued. This
wholesale disaffection among its sub
scribers caused the circulation mana
ger of the paper to write the local
agent At this place, Miss Iona Lee,
and Mr.. P. Petersen, subscriber,
asking that the people suspend Judg-
ment until after Sunday, September
Is, when the matter would be satls-
factorily adjusted through the columns
Of The Times. Miss Lee was informed
that one hundred extra copies Of the
paper would be sent her for distribu-
tion. The hundred copies came all
right, but not line bearing upon the
subject in controversy was to be found.
No effort whatever was made by the
editors to correct the unfavorable i'm
preston Of Sedgwick county people
and their courts OF Law, which was
given to the public In The Times arti-
Gle Of September 8. Their failure to
do 10 has permanently injured the

Not Mt all Funny.

Some folks may think it fun to run a
country newspaper, but few months
actual experience usually dispels all
the funny part of it. Usually the
country newspaper man is an all round
sort of genius and he does little OF
everything, from receiving visitorsand
writing editorials in the front Office to
washing rollers and mixing ink in the
other end of the shop. He learns all
this when he learns his trade and can't
get out of the habit 1t is all right to
talk about "editing the paper" but
with the ordinary newspaper man the
editing is only one Of the many things
to be done. The books must be kept,
advertising and job work solicited. &C.
counts collected, delinquent subscrib-
ers dunned and new ones invited to
enroll their names, ways and means
provided to liquidate paper bills and
printers wages, and thousand and
one things that nobody outside ever
thinks about. No, it is not an alto
gether. easy and desirable life to
feed the press all day and write things
out Of ones head half the night, and
yet it is what most conscientious and
successful country publishers do every
day and every week in the year. For
striking example Of the strenuous
life" look to the country newspaper
publisher News.

QUESTION ANSWERED

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
Grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion and Bill
iousness. Doctors were scarce, and
they seldom heard Of appendicitis. ner-
vous prostration or heart failure, etc.
They used August Flower to clean out
the system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull 4nd
bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need q few doses of Green's
