WAS 1T A BUNCO?
Will a Certain Stranger Please Call
and Explain?

1T locks as if we had been Sold"
said a number of people in the city
who have had a common experience
during the past few days, and ac-
coTdinG TO the story that is told and
the evidence that can be gathered it
looks as if this might be the case.
Perhaps it isn't, but those concerned
are pretty we'll satisfied that it is
The story runs something like this:
One day last week, a man of good
appearance called on Mrs Sarah c.
Crosby and unfolded a scheme which
he proposed to develop. His idea was
TO get up handsomes ouvenir of the
w. C. T. L. convention here in the
city. soliciting advertisements from the
merchants whereby he should be paiu
for his work. He described a very nice
thing, explaining that large quantity
OF them would be printed and dis
tributed gratis among those attending
the convention.
The man made 50 good an appear
ance and told so smooth a story that
The suspicion of Mrs. Crosby was not
aroused and she fell in with the plan.
She made UP list of names of prom
inent merchants along the street from
whom assistance in the scheme might
be expected and wrote a little note OF
TO present TO prospective patrons.
This was fine start and the man
evidently worked diligently Just how
many advertisements he secured Is nor
known but one who signed along the

formed by Rev. z. C. Whittemore of

presence of Immediate relatives and
friends, the ring service being used.
The house was beautifully decorated
with orofusion of ferns and cut

ing gowned in blue travelling suit.
Elmer Abbott, a brother of the groom,
acted as best man. and Mrs. Elmer
Abbott as bridesmaid. Miss Helen
McGinnis was flower girl.

last of it said that there were good
number on the paper The note from
Mrs. Crosby made the plan seem all
square and above board, for her in
terest in all W. c. T. L. work is
familiar and as she is well known ana
highly esteemed all over the city.
Some signed because others had, the
fact that it was for the benefit OF the
w. c. T. L. and had Mrs. crosby
endorsement having the most influence.
At one place where the man called
he said that the money would go 10
the w. c. T. L. and that the printing
would be done by the Kennebec Jour
nal. This particular merchant thought
that perhaps the Journal had engaged
the man to do the soliciting. lie was
told also that he lived in the city. In
several instances some objection was
made to paying in advance but the
man always smoothed over the dlff-
culty and took the money. In one
place he said that this would prevent
a second trip about the place.
The stories apparently vary in minor
details but i'll general they were about
the same wherever the man called.
All the soliciting was done last week
and when the convention opened,
Tuesday, those who had taken adver-
tisements looked for the souvenirs.
But nothing of the kind appeared and
the programs had no advertisements
whatever This aroused suspicion and
inquiries We're made, but nothing could
be learned regarding them.
Then the suspicion that some one
had been buncoed became pretty
strong. The home office of the Jour
nal was called by telephone and moth
ing whatever of the scheme was known
there No one had been engaged for
any such work and no arrangements
made for printing anything in the
nature of a souvenir or program for
the convention.
None of the local printing offices had
taken any such job. The souvenir,
program or whatever it was to be, may
appear, today, the closing Gay of the
convention. but if it does it is appar-
ent that some one will have to do some
pretty tall hustling to fulfill the con-
tract.
1t is not known how much money
was collected. The man had the usual
sample blank with spaces of various
sizes and positions laid down and these
were sold at various prices. But from
what can be learned it is thought he
secured something like $50.

nished by the use of Room 2 on the

1t has also been decided that in the
future class meetings will be held al
some time outside of the school hours
as it has been found that a large
amount of valuable time is wasted in
the meetings. 1t has frequently hap
pened that matters have arisen which
have been discussed for the greater
part of two hours.

garden at his residence on College
avenue. that at date measures just
about II feet. 1t has escaped the frost
so far, as it is in sheltered place and
bids fair to add an inch or two more
to it's length before the season closes.
The stock grew from a kernel dropped
by chance and is evidently of the
Western variety. There are several
large ears on the stock.
