HELD TO THE RULE.
Only Limited Number OF iO-Cent Teams
Licensed.

\ move made to break over the rule
that only a certain number Of licenses
should be issued to drivers Of Decent
teams. was nippcd III the bud by the
mayor and board OF aldermen. The
owners of Decent teams made their
appearance before the board. several
months ago. and as the result it wa.
practically settled that only a certain
number Of licenses should be issued.
The move was made because during
muster and similar times. a large num-
Der of people come in with teams and
reap the benefits of the trade the others
who stay here the year round have
built up. There was a great deal of
talk about the matter at the time, but
when everything had been quieted
down the licenses We're issued to only
a certain number. At the last meet
ing of the board an Out-Of-tOWn man
came in and had some talk with tn"
aldermen in regard to his having Ii
cenSe. Nothing was talked over III
open meeting, but it has since been
learned that the aldermen We're strong
ly adverse to granting the license.
They considered the matter settled and
gave the opinion that if the license WAS
issued it would be but to break over
the rule they had made, short time
before.

The Tale Of a Trunk.

There was a wedding in Gardiner,
last week, in which a former Augusta
young man was one of the principals.
The Gardiner Independent has this in
tcresting tale to tell about the adven-
lures Of the bridal couples trunk:
Gettin' married is quite an ordeal
these days and the poor victims are
liable to cry out in despair, Lord,
deliver us from our friends" willis
didn't propose to be advertised through
shipped the nuptial baggage to Port
land on the forenoon train. Well. in
some unaccOuntable manner the trunk
came back" oh no. there wasn't amy
thing done to it. Beautiful expressive
notices We're posted all over it, old
slippers were hung on to the straps.
Some one had a key that fitted it
ana an elegant box Of cigars which
Willis had carefully slowed away for
private use was opened up and passed
around and a neat card inserted with
Thank you. Willis" in large letters.
The. trunk was sent to South Gardiner
and innocently went along on the Pull
man with the newly married folks.
But what surprise must have await
ed them when they gaZed on that
trunk in the privacy of their own
apartments at the Congress Square.
We can almost hear LuCy's, even at
this distance. Gee Whiz. look at that. :"
The girl with four big, fun-loving
brothers stands hard chance in this
world in occasions of that character.
| But everything is well that ends well,
and they got out of the town alive for
which they should be truly thankful.
