- AN ERROR.
There seems to be an impression that
this company was in some way connect
pany. Those who are in a position to
know say that such an impression is
tirely erroneous. 1t probably grows out
OF n The 1ae5 that me SANE fpaKeTs W n

10 points under active selling for both accounts.

possible unfavorable weather changes or broad

Daily Kennebec journal., 1902-11-22

Some snow accompanied by swapping
winter weather would no doubt meet
with pretty general favor just at pres
ent. The grocery men would like this
to facilitate the shipping Of Thanksgiv-
ing poultry to the market and the
keeping of it after it arrives. The
clothing men would like it as a starter
for their winter stocks and the lumber
men would perhaps like it best Of all.
Yarding in the woods is now difficult
business on account of the mud, es-
pecially on the low lands. The swamps
have not yet closed up and it is prac-
tically impossible to do much work in
them. A good freeze and some snow
would help things out in great shape.
Some skating and sleighing for
Thanksgiving would please the young
people. So it looks as if there would
be a small number to object.

suspicious were aroused and he became
pretty well satisfied that John --- =

jug of extra good stuff for a spec
ial purpose arrived one Saturday. con-
signed as usual to the blind" But
John was II bit careless for once and
left the jug ut the express Office a lit
tie too long. a friend of the dealer
had business there after supper on the
Saturday night in question and arrived
there before the agent. He knew Of the
luS ltlSiuc anu tI1e Ttl;tIlDef III WAS
handled. He had not waited long when
he saw the express agent approaching
from one end of the street and the Of
iicer from the other. both being about
an equal distance away.
He recognized ut once what was on
the program and made up his mind To
break up the meeting If he could. The
express agent was Il faster walker than
the officer and reached the Office door
first. The friend of the dealer followed
him into the office and without n word
seized the jug and hustled 1T out by n
back way. The agent was phascd for
Il minute then started with Il rush af-
ter the jug, yelling like Il football
crank at a Yale Harvard game, just aa
the officer entered by the front door.
He saw in minute what was happen

with the jug managed to signal the
agent and put him out Of the running
