Quite recently man and his wife
boarded the train for Portland. On ar
irving at West Minot, thinking they had
arrived at Rumford Junction they I'M
loaded for the change, but some good
Samaritan set them right, and they got
aboard and proceeded. Was it the still,
small hum of honey bee that called?

Oh, no, we are up to date. We have
had our outing. The son, A. F..
Triton, and family, came up from Auburn
and took us old ones out. First to A,
W. Horizons in Sumner; Tuesday to
West Sumner, where we lived in former
times, called on friends, and attended
lawn party at the residence of Mrs.
Journey, whose grove and grounds were
lighted by Chinese lanterns, lending
beauty to the landscape, assisted con-
siderably by the rays of the harvest
moon. Rev. Mr.. Turner, Benz. Gerrish,
Henry Nulty and G. w. TiltOn, and
wives, were there from this village.
Barring the cold which we have to con-
tend with this season, it was pleasant
meeting and greeting of friends.

lcupants at the bottom of the lake

thorn"
The same day many of the young
people occupied the camp and boats al
the pond, residents and visitors, some
in carriages, some on hay rack.
Thursday, Mt Mica was our objective
point. As fate would have it it com
menced to rain just as we arrived, 6u,
we were fortunate to look upon pocket
being emptied of its treasures for few
moments, when we beat a hasty retreat
to the stable, probably to the great re
lief of the operators. There we ate oul
dinners and had exhibited by the polite
ness of Mr.. Bowker, some fine speci
/ mems. "a cat may look at a king" Sc
might we look at these, but not t.
purchase. 1t is Friday now, our friends
have gone home, and we have taken OF
the hum-drum of life again. Such II
/ life.
