with a horse and buggy enjoying the
beautiful scenery of Eden township. AT
farm house north of town they espied
a watering tank and being of a humane
disposition they decided to let the horse
drink. Acting upon this they drove UP
to the tank, but the horse could not, tho
it tried hard to get its head down to
the water. Seeing that something was
wrong both got out of the buggy and
examined the harness thoroughly, but
could discover nothing that prevented
the horse from drinking. After twenty
minutes had passed in this manner, dur
ing which the horse could only get the
tip OF its nose into the water, the girls
were about to give up in despair when
u happy thought struck the taller girl,
and after cautious glance around to
see that no one was looking she stepped
behind the buggy and catching hold of
the axle raised the hind wheels about
two feet from the ground. 1t was at this
juncture that our informant, young
man, stepped out of the barn and re-
leased the young ladies from their pre-
d!cament by unrening the horse.

BOYS AND BEER.
HARTLEY Record.l

1t seems that some of our farmers
and threshers who like their beer have
formed kind of beer club and keep it
on tap while threshing. 1t is reported
that some of the boys will work like
nailers to get their loads of grain in SO
as to get a fresh drink at every load
hauled. Some of them get too much to
carry for the best service. Just so,
beer has such a poison in it that it
produces a craving for more This is
why 1t commands such sale and
makes the saloon men rich. Neighbor,
you had better leave 1T alone. 1t is a
serpent which will some day sting you
to death.

INCREASED POTATO RATES.

[Alden Times,l-
The announcement few days ago
that the railroads running from Min
nesota to Chicago had advanced the
rate from 10 to II cents on potatoes
gave rise to the question among COM
mon people, What did they do that
for??" After a good deal of study it
was discovered that the potato crop in
Minnesota is abundant and in Illinois
practically a failure. Potatoes will
move from Minnesota to Chicago, no
matter what the cost of transporting
them. What the railroads don't know
about crop prospects isn't worth know
ing.

Dear sir: You know your painter; we
don't; we only know painters in gen.

There are two sorts, as there two
sorts of everybody else. One paints as
well as he can; the other as poor as he
can and get business.
The one who paints as well as he can
is all the time learning; the other one
knows it all now.

BASE BALL TOURNAMENT

The base hall tournament on the fair
grounds Saturday brought together
three strong teams and five hundred or
more strenuous supporters of the sew
eral clubs. Considerable rivalry exists
among these teams and each manager
spared neither pains nor money to
secure winning team.
At 1890 a. NJ. began the best game of
the day, West Paris VS.. Oxford. Lufkin
of Wesleyan did the pitching for Ok
ford, while Bob Shaw was in the box for
West Paris.
The first half of the game was simply
one, two, three, out, for both teams.
Then each team secured two runs and
thus it remained until the eighth when
Oxford secured two more by stealing
four bases and hitting two safe ones.
This game produced some excellent
features not the least of which was the
manner in which Bob Shaw played the
game, for besides pitching ball good
enough to win the game, he made no
less than six assists to first base. 1t is
needless to say that twas no fault of his
that allowed oxford to win.
The Volunteers of Lewiston failed to
appear and Mechanic Falls profited ac-
cordingly by their default. But Oxford
refused to play Mechanic Falls until
they had played game, too. So West
Paris and a picked up team representing
Mechanic Falls played six innings of a
slow exhibition game in which the
fainter brothers of Dixtield did the
battery work for West Paris, and Parlin,
the left handed pitcher of South Paris
High pitched for Mechanic Falls. The
score was West Paris 4, Mechanic Falls 2.
Then oxford and Mechanic Falls took
positions for the final game. Oxford
presented the same team as in the fore
noon. Mechanic Falls had Doe of
Hebron in the box. Oxford scored 5
runs in the first inning by the poor field
ing of their opponents and good hitting
on their own part.
After that each team made one run.
Doe pitched excellent ball and struck
out IA men. Final score 81, and Ok
ford rejoiced over first money.
G. G.. Curtis umpired all three games
with hardly suggestion of kick from
any player or spectator.

A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED
AT PANAMA, COLOMBIA, BY CHAMBER

DR.. Chas. H. Utter, a prominent ply

letter states: "Last March / had as
a patient young lady sixteen years of
age, who had a very bad attack of dyson
terry. Everything l prescribed for her
proved Intellectual and she was growing
worse every hour. Her parents were
sure she would die. She had become so
weak that she could not turn over in
bed. What to do at this critical mo-
ment was study for me, but thought
of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhea Remedy and as last resort
prescribed it. The most wonderful re-
suit was effected. Within eight hours
she was feeling much better; inside of
three days she was upon her feet and at
the end of one week was entirely we'll. 4"

Reports from all over the potato rails
ing district of Aroostook County are to
the effect that the early crop is turning
out well, the yield in most localities
running from fifty to seventy barrels to
the acre, and in some places as high as
ninety barrels. Owing to the scarcity in
other parts of the country Aroostook
potatoes are now in great demand, and
more than the usual quantity is being
shipped early. The price is now more
than ordinarily.
