Speaking Of names, one Of the
delegates and charter members OF

is entitled to the chrome for brew

comes from Fort Smith. That is
not an initial, but his name, duly
registered and recognized. He
was originally Mr.. John P. Smith,
but there were so many John
Smiths in the country that he had
some Legislature years ago change
his name to John Smith P, or
j. S. P, as he frequently signs it.

Naming the Baby.

We lately came across the extraor-
binary Christian names OF Suetonius
and Trinidad OrbegosO, the latter fem
mime. There must have been some
special reason for bestowing such
queer names; but, even 80, 1t scarcely
seems Justifable to name children In a
way that must needs make them I'M
comfortable. particularly In their
school days. The choice of a name.
however, is far more difficult than 1t
seems.
When one hears q number of young
people talking together. all their names
sound pleasing, yet perhaps there is
not one that one would choose for daily
and hourly use. And then when a
favorite one has been thought of care
must be taken that 1t is one which
sounds we'll in conjunction with the
surname. and also that the initials do
not form an unsuitable word. Charles
Urquhardt Barnard and Ralph Oliver
Townsend, for instance, are names
which sound very well In full, but to
use the initials would be trying.-Ex-

We New PaDer NH.

The new paper mill is at last assured.
Work was begun this week upon the
great plant that is to make the village
of Madison grow like the green bay tree
and flourish as 1t never did before.
A spur track is being constructed
from the main line of the Somerset Rail
way onto the grounds of the extensive
I plant. This fall and winter the work
will be largely preparatory.
The head-gates will be built at the
head of the island and will be a massive
work of concrete similar to those built
| by the company at Millinocket and will
contain 5000 yards of concrete. They
will be twenty feet thick, and twenty
| five feet high, fifteen gates each 7x10
feet capable of discharging the whole
Kennebec river into the tlume of the
paper company.
The work this fall and winter will
include the excavation for the founda
| ton for the ground wood pulp mill and
all the motive power which will mean
the excavation of 10000 yards of earth
and stone. The work of excavating this
vast amount will occupy the entire win
ter and the foundations will be laid in
the spring. A Golfer dam is to be con-
structed at once below the falls in the
eddy to keep the water out while the
tail race for the wheel pits is being ex
! cavated. This will be carried to a depth
of fifteen feet below the water level
/ The dam will cross the main river at
point near the head of the island and
continue in a southerly direction on the
highest part of the island to the end of
the ridge below the falls, where will be
located the grinder room and saw mill
of the plant. 1900 feet of spur track
have already been constructed and 100
men are now at work. By next week
100 more will be busy upon the work.
/ Fifty five of these men are Italians and
forty more are expected to arrive this
week. The work is in charge of j B.
Mullen of Bangor, who had charge of
the construction of a portion of the
great plant at Millinocket The exca-
J waiting has been let to contractors Mavor
Il McPhail, of Millinocket. A boarding
house capable of accommodating 40
men, has been constructed for the

Their food consists of bread, macaroni,
ham, bologna sausage, cheese, beer and
vegetables which they prepare them
selves. Beer is furnished these men at

Observation-Disclosures

had been practicing law in the town
of Lancaster for about four years when
James Higgins merchant, was muir
dered. According to the testimony Of
night by noise down stairs, and he
went down to investigate. She heard
angry words, followed by a shot. and
giving an alarm, 1t was found that the
husband had been shot through the
heart. 1t was noted that nothing in the
house had been taken and no prepara-
ton made for robbery. A window
(which had been left unfastened offered
the means of ingress, and the shooting
had taken place In the sitting room.
Mrs. Higgins was sure that there had
been a sort of dispute before the fatal
shot was fired. She was sure of her
husbands voice; but, as to the other,
she was undecided as to whether 1t
was n mans or a woman's. The de-
tectives proceeded on the theory that
a man had effected entrance with in
tent to plumber. He had no sooner got
into the house than he was confronted
by Higgins, who, though unarmed, was
strong man. He had probably called
upon the burglar to surrender and per-
haps laid hands on him and had been
killed that capture might be avoided.
The first suspect arrested was the

tells. He had been seen on the street

Iced Tea Days.

This Is delicious way for serving
iced tea: The prime constituent of the
beverage-eome deliciously favored, de
liciously prepared liquid tea-ls served
In huge cut glass pitcher. With 1t
the maid places a dozen tall, slender
lemonade tumblers In cut glass, a
punch bowl filled with shaved ice and
small dish containing sliced lemon
and pineapple.
A vase filled with stalks of green
mint is also necessary.
There Is quite little art In putting
these ingredients together, and the
hostess prepares each glass with her
own hands.
First of all, the tumbler Is filled
three-quarters full with the tea, which
has been slightly sweetened. A gener-
Gus spoonful of the Ice comes next, fol-
lowed by several slices OF the lemon
and pineapple When a sprig or two
of mint waves greenly above the glass,
the beverage is ready and fit for any
palate, even that of a Brillat Savarin.
OF course the maid passes the pow
dered sugar In case any palate needs
another saccharine dash. Water bis
cult and homemade cake are offered at
the same time.
Does 1t not sound refreshing?
Try 1t some time during the warm
season. These are iced tea days.

Wouldn's Sny Obey,

The present day agitation over wheth-
CT n woman may or may not say obey
In the marriage service has met Its
match In England. According to the
story. the bride objected to the word
"obey." VERY WELL" said the bride
groom. then l object to the words for
better or worse III say for better,
bat III be hanged If I'll tie myself to
any womaS for worse especially when
she refuses to promise obedience" SO
strong. however, is the spirit of lnsub-
ordination in modern woman that the
bride In this case declined to yield her
preference. and, the bridegroom being
equally persistent. the match was de
clared off. This sounds like something
from one of Thomas Hardy's novels,
but it isn't. a London daily vouches
for It's truth.
