a STORY OF THE WAR.

On the first page of this weeks Demo
crat is given the first installment OF
"A Rebel Wife" story by one who has
in times past made number of par
ticularly interesting contributions to
these columns. The writer is Mrs.
Hannah Z. (Maxim) Allen, now a resi-
dent of Kansas, but a native of Paris,
and a sister of Silas p. Maxim. Mrs.
Allen was resident of Missouri in that
troublous time in which the scene of her
story is laid, and she has tried-no
doubt successfully-to depict the condi-
tons and the state of feeling which
existed then, as well as those types of
character which made the times what
they were. The story was written
principally number of years ago, and
finished some time since, and it is due TO
Mrs. Allen to explain that it has for
some time been in the Democrat office
awaiting the convenience of the pub
fishers. 1t can hardly fail to be OF
interest to all readers, not only on ac-
count of the authors personality and the
picture of the time which it gives, but
from it's own literary merit and the
touching human story which it tells. II

OBITUARY

Surrounded by the choicest of earth's
blossoms and large circle of loving
relatives and friends in the home she
loved so we'll, the last sad rites were
spoken of her who in life was Mrs. nj.
Lizette Swan, wife of William r. Swan
and daughter of the late Benjamin and
Mary Estes of Bethel, Maine.
Miss Estes and Mr.. Swan were married
April u, 1877, and made their home at
East Bethel until fourteen years ago,
when they moved to Lynn, where they
have ever since resided.
Two children were born to them while
in Maine, Alice A. and Robert D. S., the
latter having died in May, 1893.
About three years ago, Mrs. Swan had
a severe sickness from which she never
fully recovered, and for the past year
has been in poor health, not having been
confined to her bed, however, until
about five weeks before her death.
OF thoughtful, loving, unselfish dis
position, it can truly be said:
None knew her but to love her,
None could of her speak Ill.
Besides husband and daughter, she
leaves three brothers and three sisters
She was an attendant of the First
Baptist church Of Lynn, and member
of the Ladies' Aid Society connected
with 1t.
The interment was in Lynn's beautiful
Pine Grove cemetery.

eAe1,s1 QUARTERLY MEETING

oSF ITO WYNN S"Ss "SS
A most profitable gathering of Oxford
County Baptists was held at Mechanic
Falls April and 8.
At l1:3O Wednesday morning the
meeting organized with the choice OF
Rev. j. D. Graham of Rumford Falls as
moderator, and Rev. c. P. Kittridge OF
Turner as clerk. The services of Wed.
nesday afternoon began with devotional
service of great power.
At2 o'clock was a discussion Of Chris
tian stewardship along the lines OF
Christian living. That which provoked
the most discussion was the question OF
giving the tenth of our income to God:
While several held there was no fixed
rule of Christian giving yet all who had
tried giving tenth gave unanimous tes'
timony to its being a joyous and salts
factory method.
In the evening at 1870 good de-
votional service, followed by bright
sparkling social service was held. This
was followed by sermon by Rev. F. NJ
Preble, D. D., of Auburn. His sub]ec'
was "Blind Bartimeus." 1t was help
full and inspiring sermon.
Thursday morning after devotional
and social service came the reports o.
the churches. A steady growing interest
seems manifested in most churches
while two, Rumford Falls and Paris Hill
have had special interest.

Burglary AT GlLssRTVILLE.

Burglars entered the store OF l.. C..
Abbott in Gilbertville, in which the post
office is kept, Friday night, and secured
about SIS in cash. Entrance was gained
by digging away the banking and getting
into a cellar window.
No stamps were taken, but the intrud-
ers made an excellent meal of the can
ned goods in the store. Evidently they
were hungry. Their menu included can,
ned beef, canned chicken and roast
turkey with all the fixin's. Not con
sidering it wise to finish their repast in
the store they loaded up with eatables
and repaired to the pulp mill boarding
house, where before they had consumed
all they had, evidently something fright
ened them away.
Mr.. Abbott heard noise in the night
but thinking it was his horse, paid no at
tention to it.
Officers are at work on the case, bu
without much clue.

a CASE OF RATCHET NEEDED.


Editor Democrat:
Where is Carrie Nation with her LITTLE
Ratchet? 1t seems to me that they ART
much needed here in Maine. If Mis-
Stone has got enough ofmissionary worl
and her promise to her captors prevents
her lecturing, would suggest that she
come to Maine and see If she cannot
find her true vocation in fighting the
rum fiend. The field is broad and
laborers much needed.
A sad case of cruelty having its origin
in whiskey, happened in this usually
quiet and law-abiding community few
nights ago. The facts of the case as
learn them are as follows: A party OF
men, six or seven in number, went down
to Lewiston in heavy express wagon
drawn by single horse and when they
returned to the vicinity OF Streaked
Mountain, they gave unmistakable signs
of having imbibed too much OF the
ardent" while the poor horse was so
thoroughly exhausted that it was with
great difficulty he could travel at all.
However, by dint of much urging they
succeeded in getting him along as far as
the three corners above Charles Maxim's,
when he gave out entirely, and finding
they could get him no farther the men
embarrassed him and hitched him by
one hind leg to tree, $50 strangely
does Kentucky moonshine work when
brought to Maine that men who NEEDLE
with it can not tell horses head from
his hind feet) and left the half dead ami
NAL there to pass the cold spring night
as best he could, while they found their
way home on foot.
But men are not all alike and some
kind neighbors with human hearts in
their bosoms, learning the facts of the
case after the horse had been exposed
to the chill evening air some three or
four hours, lighted their lanterns and
went down to the rescue. They found
the poor animal PROSTATE upon the
ground, cut him free from the tree, got
him upon his feet with some difficulty,
led him to the nearest barn, where they
got him under shelter, gave him a good
supper and left him, going to their
homes feeling better for good deed
done for the sake of humanity.
So again l ask, where are Carrie Nation
and her little Ratchet? Would not the
city of Lewiston be good field for her
particular style of doing business? She
would certainly find plenty of work to
do.
How long, oh. how long, must the
curse of drunkenness darken and over
shadow this fair land? IDEx.
