PREACHER GOT THE DOG.

A minister was one day walk
ing along a road, and to his as
tonishment he saw a crowd OF
boys sitting in front of a ring
with a small dog in the center.
When he came up to them he put
the following question: "What
are you doing to the dog?" One
little boy said: "Whoever tells
the biggest lie wins it, "Oh,"
said the minister. 81 am sur
prised at you little boys, for when
! was like you l never told lies.'
There was silence for awhile, un-
til one of the boys shouted:
"Hand him up the dog!"-Lon-

which he received through the

"Mr. Langford-On my re-

ARIZONA KlCKERLETS.

The fact that we were not in
vited to Mrs. Temples high tea
the other week may or may not
have had something to DO with
her husbands arrest as an east
ern defaulter last Monday. We
have before remarked that we
are a bad man to snub.
1t has been pretty definitely
settled within the last two days
that John Thomas, missing since
last October, was devoured by @
cinnamon bear on Wolf creek.

to locate missing man, even if
it is inside a bear as big as q

The American flag flies above

his cold carcass and be buried at
our expense.
We had the pleasure of a visit
from Editor Jones, of the Blue
Hill Sentinel, the other day.
Editor Jones ought to be rum
ming a cider mill instead of a

of critters to make up a popula-
ton, and perhaps he can't be
blamed for living.
Our esteemed contemporary
shot at US on the street again the
other day, but we should never
have known it had not stranger
in town kindly informed US of the
fact. The poor old chap must
have fired 500 bullets at US dur

one of them has even cut a but
ton off. We admire his perse.
verance.
Let our readers bear it in mind
that as postmaster we sleep in
the postoffice, but as postmaster
we don't get up at 2 o'clock in
the morning to look for mail, and
any one that tries to shoot US out
of bed at that hour will get the
worst of it.

Chairman Carleton of the fish and game
than ever that sportsmen coming into the
State to hunt large game should be required
to pay license fee-$10 for deer and $25 for
moose: He says there is no other State with
desirable hunting grounds which does not
charge a license fee. He notes the recent
visit to the Maine woods of a hunting party
Dayton, Ohio. He claims that they brought
all their supplies and provisions with them,
even down to the kerosene oil which they
burned; that they did not employ many
guides, using stoves in the woods instead Of
building fires on the ground, that they came
way they got along very economically.

thinks it is only right that such people as
these should pay for the right to kill our

Queen Quality Shoes
Win the Gold Medal.

The great advance in methods and facili-
ties for manufacturing and distributing
commodities of daily use, and the vast op-
portunity which this country presents for
the rapid growth in popularity and sale of
any article which is in considerable degree
superior to what has heretofore been sup
piled, is strongly illustrated in the phenome-
nal achievements of The Thos G. Plant
Company, who are now known throughout
this country and, in fact, all over the civiliz-
ed world, as the makers of the famous
"Queen Quality Shoe" which has recently
been awarded the Gold Medal at the Pan
American Exposition at Buffalo.
Beginning about three years ago with the
theory that superior shoe, combining all
of the essentials of the finest footwear.
could be produced at cost that would per-
NIT its being retailed at $500 per pair, the
makers OF the Queen Quality Shoe have
fully demonstrated the soundness of their
theory and have accomplished what they
undertook to an extent that is little short of
marvellous.
The basis of the wonderful success enjoy
ed by those shoes is undoubtedly the atten-
ton given to modelling. No member of the
human anatomy is more difficult to suit in
its requirements than the foot, and years of
patient study and experiment were required
IN order to attain to the perfection which
these shoes exhibit. To their perfect ease
and exactness of fit can undoubtedly be as
crlbed the favor with which they are imme-
dlately regarded by all women who have
the opportunity of trying them.
Added to their shapeliness and comfort
these shoes possess a thorough excellence in
their structural features and contain the
best OF leather and materials for rendering
them serviceable and beautiful.
The factory that produces these shoes
turns out eight thousand pairs day and
employs twenty-three hundred people, and
the sales of its products have eclipsed all
records in the history of footwear; being
now sold in $500 cities and towns by exclu-
slve agencies carefully selected. The agency
in Belfast is held by A. Colburn.
