FAsM BUILDINGS BURNED.
BARN, STOCK AND oUTBUILDINGs OF
j. +. KING DESTROYED.-HoUSE
SAVED BY HARD WORK.

Just at dusk of Sunday evening fire
was discovered in the barn of j. Ferdi-
nand King in the King neighborhood.
The origin of it can be explained by
nothing but mere conjecture. Mr.. King
had finished his chores about half an
hour before, and had not used a lantern
or had any fire or light in the barn. He
came in to supper, and just as supper
was finished the barn was discovered to
be on fire.
Even then the flames were breaking
out through the walls and roof, and it
was impossible TO enter the barn so as to
save any of the stock. Ten head of
cattle and two horses were burned.
The fire was seen soon after it broke
out by the people on the farms round
about, and the villages of Paris Hill and
South Paris, from both of which the
place is visible, and considerable help
was at hand as soon as people could get
there. A light wind blew from such
quarter as to favor the work of saving
the house, and as the result of hard
work the main house is still standing. A
portion of the ell was torn down to
check the progress of the flames, and
fortunately there were two wells on the
place outside of the buildings. A line
of men and pals passed water from the
nearer one of these until the heat stop
ped the work.
Then they drew upon the other, and
after that gave out, they built screen
of doors to keep the heat from the
nearer well, and succeeded in keeping
things wet down.
There were number of outbuildings
about the premises, and everything but
the house was burned. OF course the
house was cleared of furniture.
The buildings were insured with the
Patrons of Husbandry Co., and the
amount on those buildings which were
entirely destroyed was 500.

LETTER TO A. c. JONES, SOUTH
PARIS

Dear Sir: If you buy paint by the gal
lon look out for short-measure. One OF
the paints for sale in your section has
about 2lO cubic inches gallon. Takes
PSI to make a real gallon. There are
great businesses founded on ten per cent
short.
1t is queer that man or concern'll
expose his or it's nakedness so; but he
does, and it does.
Look out.
But that isn't all to look out for. Some
give full measure; and cheat in the
quality.
What do you paint for, the looks? OF
to keep your house from rotting? Both,
of course.
A big hotel man painted Devoe eight
wears ago; was going to paint it again
Eight years is a good long time for
hotel, you know struck bargain, saw
ed five cents a gallon; missed Devoe.
Poor fellow, There isn't an OF. of leac
in his paint-we don't know how gooe
or bad it is; bat there isn't any lead in 1t
Yours truly,
II F.W. DEvoE & Co.
PSF. p. Stone sells our paint.

TIE IRIIE FISHERMAN

Editor Dunning of the Portland Adj
vertiser has been making short range
study of fishermen and the fishing habit.
1t is timely study and his observations
are of much interest. He remarks that
if every day'll be Sunday by and by, no
less is every day at this time of the year
a Friday, in that it is dedicated to fish.
Many respectable citizens who at other
seasons are content to be the worthy
heads of their families and to walk sober
ly between the curbings to business
daily, rise at unholy hours and HE
them to the country where the swollen
ponds offer tempestuous joys for the
hardy angler. 1t is strange disease. 1t
is said of good fishermen that they are
the only men on the planet who can be
satisfied with nothing. The rest of us
demand that whatever we do shall have
some results-and the more labor the
larger the product. But to the true
angler there is no such ethics. He is
glad for opportunity, whatever it brings
him-or does not bring him. TO be a
fisherman of the first class you must be
quite willing to skin your nose, prick
your fingers, sit with your feet in ice
water, wear unspeakable apparel, 60
without food, be abused by roadside
urchins, joyously lie until you are black
in the face, and after all come home
empty-handed. In craftsmanship seems
to lie the essence of spiritual patience.
