''Colopel." said the romantic girl
''tell ms how you got that scar upon
your left cheek. Oh, l just know IL
must be thrilling story. Was IL made
by a bullet or a saber thrustf prefer
a saber thrust. IL seems SO much more
like the knighthood of old. You can't
see a bullet coming, and there Is no
way TO escape II or combat IL, but when
your enemy rushes at you with his up
lifted saber there is the possibility OF
parrying his blow and cutting him
down. That seems much more manly.
even IL the victor In the fray does re-
ceive a wound or two, than to just be
laid low or 10 lay the enemy low by
bullet that cannot be seen. There is
no bravery In shooting a man, but
there is something knightly In meeting
another face to face with a sword.
Your scar looks like one that was left
by cleaning blade. and l know that
your enemy must at least have been
rendered hors de combat. Tell me all
about II, colonel-when II happened
and how. l am so interested in war
stories"
"Yes," he replied, IL agree with you
fully about the sword and saber bust
ness. There isn't much bravery In
shooting a fellow, and there is some
thing knightly about standing up and
thrusting and parrying with blade.
But I got this wound while acting as
an innocent bystander at a Chicago
strike riot II was a brick "-ClicagO

Cut Their Sentences short.

Many people in every walk Of life,
and particularly travelling men, seem
to have n craze for abbreviation. On
almost every page of the hotel register
may be found some unique freak. of
abbreviatiOn.
Two Authorizations that have been
noticed are az O." and 81 o." Any
where but in the residence column of a
hotel register they would be very puZ-
zling. OF course it is easy TO under
stand that the 60" means Ohio, and as
there is but one town in that state that
begins with D." GAINESVILLE, and but
one the name of which begins with
OK" Xenia, it Is easy to understand
the authorizations, and they save a lot
of time and ink.
"11worth" is not so easy TO under
stand perhaps, but when kansas" is
written after IL Is easier. Another
puzzling abbreviation is 40" but
when IL is Chattanooga, TO-" 1t is not
hard to read Columbus is usually
written "Cols." and Chicago ego
The final "h" in the old fashioned way
Of spelling Pittsburg. which has been
almost entirely dropped elsewhere, Is
usually used in the abbreviation which
most Pittsburgers write ('Pgh.) nowo-
days.-Chicago Chronicle.

home of MIR. and Mrs. h. p. Mills OF Ant

half forgotten incidents and jokes of
childhood and young manhood and
womanhood. Henry Mills gave an histor-
zeal sketch. Rev. Sheldon gave new

could not be other than complimentary.
Saturday evening, neighbors and
friends of long ago joined the circle, and
Joyous greetings were INDUCED in.
Cooling ices, cakes and fruits were served
in dining room prettily decorated with
potted plants. Then the company ad-
journed to the parlors and were treated
to music by the family, nearly all of

that line, and their singing had a zest
that made it very enjoyable There was
a speech by Hon. J. q. WooGman, a
teacher OF several Of the company, Mrs.
J. j. Woodman, Elan Warner, Mr.. Har-
yey and Mr.. Sheldon, and many little ad-

Two old ladies were next to each 9th

ed TO have the window shut, the other
to have it open; the conductor was call
ed to decide the question. One said If
it were open she would catch cold and
die; the other said If 1t were shut she
would die Of apoplexy.
The conductor did not know what to
do, when an old man, who had been
sitting quiet In corner, said:
"Open the window, friend; that will
kill one of them. Then shut II, and we
shall be rid of the other and have
some peace" -London Answers.

AS gentleman was having his
luncheon in the coffee, room of a small
hotel he was much annoyed by another
visitor, who during the whole meal
stood with his back to the fire, warm

of his repast.
"At length, unable TO endure It any
longer, he rang the bell yand said:
waiter, kindly turn that gentleman

THE WHINING TICKET.
Continued from 1stpage.)
William p. Bope of Lawrence and
Henry G. Maynard of Hartford were

William +. Bope OF Lawrence and
Henry G. Maynard of Hartford were
nominated for coroners by reclamation,
after which the convention adjourned.
Some fault was found at the time the
convention was called because the county
committee had selected Bangor as the
place for holding it. While the town is
somewhat difficult of access, it is none
the less good place for holding con-
vention. Never has a county convention
been better cared for. Landlord Sebring
OF the Sebring house had made special
preparations to handle the crowd, and the
promptness with which the delegates
and others were able to get their dinners
was in pleasing contrast with some of
the experiences of the past few years.
Bangor is all right.

A card from our friend, B. F. Ford

night, together with most of its con-

Mr.. Egan about Q o'clock. Mrs,
Egan was sick in bed and the chill
dren had retired. The flames started
near the fue in an upper room. Mrs.
Egan was carried to Elder Brooks

the burning building without time to
dress. The house was insured for
$500 and the contents for SGoo, but
the amount of insurance win not near

An All.Home Print.

Having tried a patent interior on

we have found that 1t neither gives
satisfaction to our subscribers nor
ourself, although it has been quite a
saving to us in financial way.
Still, in order to please our patrons
as well as to tickle our own pride we
have concluded to 90 back to an all
home print with the first issue of the
COURIER IN March, 1900. However,
owing to the fact that white paper has
advanced from SO to 90 per cent
since we ran an all-home print, we
shall be compelled to RAISE the sub
scrlPtion price to $I.25 year IN or
der TO make our subscription list se,f-
sustaining for we cannot be expected
to send out our paper without a rea-
sonable profit If you cannot en-
dorse the advance, Of course you
have the privilege of dlsContinulng
your subscription, but if you should
part company with the COURIER on
this account, don't get mad and
swear at us, but save up your vial Oi
wrath for the soulless paper trust, and
especially McKinIey's administration
for not enforcing John Sherman's

Monday and returned Tuesday and
reports that his father-in-aw can
