Once in a Lifetime.

The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs. c.
0. Shannon will read with pleasure the
following item taken from the Haverhill
Mass. Gazette of August 10TH
A memorable event in the history OF
the Shannon family took place at Hamp-
ton beach last Saturday, when five
brothers, sons of the late Ebenezer and
Betsey Shannon of Plaistow n. H.. met
for the first time in their lives and sat at
the same table. The fact is ali the more
remarkable since their ages range from
Is years for the oldest, TO So years for
the baby or youngest, the two older boys
having left home to seek pastures new
before the youngest was born. Their
names and residences according to age
are:
Steven S. Shannon, Salem, n. H.
Charles Otis Shannon, EdgertOn, Wis
Frank w. Shannon Plaistow, N. H.
Walter S. Shannon. Maiden, Mass.
Henry M. Shannon, Haverhill.
Through the able efforts of Charles O.,
the second Oldest and a resident for the
past half century of Wisconsin, arrange
ments were made to have the five broth
ers dine once during, this life together at
some advantageous point which all could
reach. His efforts were certainly crown
ed with success, for when the sun rose
most beautiful last Saturday morning
and indicated most pleasant dav, the
several brothers made preparations, to-
gether with their families, to meet at
Hampton Beach Casino, the last arriv-
ing at 1890 p. m. When all entered the
dining room at the Casino and became
seated, bountiful spread awaited them,
specially arranged for the occasion by
the management. The menu was:
Chicken Broth Clam Chowder
Steamed Hampton River CLANS
Drawn Butter
Baked Stuffed HaddOck, Tomato Sauce
Cucumbers Potatoes LyOnnaise
Plain Lettuce
Fried CLAIMS In Crumbs
Saratoga Chips
Roast Spring Chicken Giblet Sauce
String Beans Mashed Potatoes
Green Corn
Plain Lobster with Lettuce
Peach Shortcake with Whipped Cream
Ice Cream Assorted Cake
Tea Coffee
An hour and half was passed in dis
cussing the edibies with talks OF earlier
days, etc., intermingled, after which the
brothers repaired to a studio and had a
group photo taken. A general good time
followed. The party broke up in the
early evening and departed for their sew
eral homes, excepting the host, Charles
O., who is to remain, with his wife. in
this section until Sept 1, visiting old ac-
quaintances.
1t seemed TO be the universal opinion
that while they have come together once,
they may never again.

False Teeth Mystery Deeper.

An X-ray examination at Chicago
laboratory has disclosed the fact that j
G. Robertson of Cooksville did not swal
low his false teeth, as he had supposed
This discovery has greatly relieved Mr.
Robertson's mind, and, incidentally, an
acute stomach trouble from which he
had suffered since the disappearance OF
the teeth, but the mystery as to the
whereabouts of the useful article is deep
ened. Robertson lost his teeth while
asleep, and the belief that he had swal-
lowed them so preyed upon him that he
made the trip to Chicago to have them
removed if they proved to be in his
stomach.

Hicks Forecast for Septemher.

Warm weather generally will most
likely prevail at the opening of the
month. On and touching the I'd to 4th
no one should be surprised by energetic
storms of rain, wind and thunder. This
is one of the autumna equinoctial per-
iods in which heavy storms are quite
probable in southern waters, exposed to
West Indian storms. Should these
storms reach the interior quite cool
weather will follow, with chances that
frosts will occur about the 4th to 7th.
Reactionary storms with more Or less
energy are due from It'll to 9th. The
regular storm period central on the 18th
will almost certainly bring on a state of
stormy and unsettled weather that will
continue in general way into reaction
airy storm days about the 18th or 18th.
One of the danger periods for Septemb Der
is this equinoctial storm. Watch for
cool nights and frosts The last regular
storm period for the month is central on
the oath. Another series of equinoctial
storms is possible at this time. No one
can forsee the exact outcome or just
where the disturbance will strike with
greatest violence. The month closes
in reactionary storm, excited by the
passage of the moon over the equator,
on the Both, and autumnal storms will
touch many localities.

Journeymen tailors employed in Lima
Ohio, who are on a strike, telegraphed
the Journeymen Tailors' union business
agent Of this city that their employer
had started for Chicago with a trunk
containing a wedding trousseau, which
had to be completed by this week. The
tailors have nothing against the young
woman who ordered the trousseau and
do not even know iner name, but thew
insist that the success of the strike in
Lima is dependent upon the success Of
the organizations here in finding the
trunk. The journeymen tailors and the
customs clothing workers will appeal to
the United Garment Makers and the
Clothing Cutters organization if they do
not succeed in finding it, This will set
nearly 10000 persons on watch for the
wedding outfit.

Creek road, near Empire, and cross the
range near Georgetown.
"a part of the understanding is that
the Colorado & Southern will dispose Of
its half interest in the Colorado Midland,
presumably to the Denver & Rio Grande
The extension will be built by a con-
struction company, and the claim is that
it will cost not to exceed $4,000 600. The
Colorado & Southern has three different
surveys across the state, one of which
was cross sectiOned two years ago."
The News also hints at the probability
of q triple alliance having been formed
by the Colorado & Southern, the Rock ISL
and and the Colorado Fuel & Iron COM
pany, the latter concern being particu>
larly interested in the development of
the coal and iron deposits of Northwest
ern Colorado, through which territory the
proposed extension of the Colorado &
