srwARp 3. JONES KILLED.

A telegram received her0 Wednesday
morning by his relatives reported the
death of Seward B. Jones of Auburn
dale. Mass, native Of Paris, and son of
George Jones of this place.
Mr.. Jones was an engineer on the
Brookline circuit of the Boston and
ALBANY Railroad, and met death in an
heroic manner in an accident. On the
last outbound trip Tuesday night, the
engine left the track at frog, and turn
ed over on its right side. The fireman
was thrown clear of the wreck, but
Engineer Jones was pinned under the
engine, his feet being caught and the
reversing lever going through his thigh
into the ground. Pipes were broken, and
the escaping steam scalded him and fol-
a time hid him from sight. The engine
could not be lifted without hosting
machinery, and all efforts to extricate
him were futile. He was conscious, and
for half an hour, though suffering ter
rible pain, gave directions to those at
work, and appeared really calmer than
some of those who stood around him
! At the end of half an hour death came tt
his relief.
| Mr.. Jones lived in Auburndale, ano
made three trips daily around thu
circuit. his hours of duty being included
between p. NJ. and midnight. He als'
ran a harness shop in Auburndale, hav
inc learned the trade in South Pari
when young man. He had run on tn
Boston and Albany road for many years
and was regarded as reliable and yer,
careful trainman. :,
\, Mr.. Jones leaves widow, the daugh
tar of Wallace Clark of Rumford, tw
, daughters and son. His elder daugt
ter is Mrs. Eugene Davis of Rumfor
, Falls. He is also survived by his father
George Jones of South Paris, on
brother, Joseph II. Jones of South Paris
and three sisters, of whom one, Mr.
t George Ham, is resident OF this place
, Mr. Jones lacked a few days Of being
years of age. ,
, The remains arrived here Saturda;
i accompanied by members of his famil
3 and other relatives, and the funeral wa
held Sunday afternoon at l o'clock

The newest thing in photography, de-
velopment of films in broad daylight,
will be shown in South Paris next Fri
day. Dec. 18th. The scheme has been
talked over and written about for sew
eral months, but the local amateurs have
never vet had chance to witness the
actual process. 1t seems simple thing,
done by means of an apparatus little
bigger than the average camera, and, as
in all epoch-marking inventions, the only
wonder is that no one thought of it be-
fore. Cameras have been improved from
wear to year, and the making of pictures
has been simplified to a point which
brought thousands of recruits to the
ranks. but the darkroom has ever been
drawback. Now comes along machine
that not only does away with the dark
room but gives better results than the
average amateur can secure in the DARK
room.
After YOU take your cartridge OF ex
nosed film out of the Kodak you put Il
| into the machine in much the same way
that YOU originally put it into the KODAK
You pour in the developer and turn
bandie-it's all very easy after once you
have seen it done-and the results ar
astonishingly good.
A demonstration of the working OF tn
machine will be given Friday, Dec. i"

~ coeN ceOweRs, Union

The meeting to organize center of
the Maine Sweet Corn Growers Union
was held as called at Grange Hall, South
Paris, Tuesday. 5. NJ. King was chosen
chairman and Alvin Brown secretary
and treasurer. 1t was reported that a
sufficient number had signed the papers
to form center, and J. A. Roberts was
chosen member of the general executive
committee for this center.
This union is not formed by the grow
ers in any spirit of antagonism to the
packers, but merely TO constitute an
Organization BY means of which the
growers can care for their interests a
great deal more effectively than they
could as individuals. 1t is probable that
at least one more center will be organized
in Oxford County.
The secretary of this center, Alvin
Brown of Norway, is ready TO receive
signatures and membership fees from
all who wish to join.

The Tricky Fox,

A gentleman while hunting near u
river one winter day saw a fox run
out on the ice and make at full speed
for an opening in the ice where the
rushing sater of the river could be
plainly seen from the bank, says the
Scotsman. At the edge he stopped,
turned, followed his tracks back to the
bank and then ran some distance down
the stream and sat there. Soon dog
came crashing out Of the woods, bay
ing finely, hot on the fox's trail. Now,
dogs when on a chase Of this kind
trust almost entirely to their noses.
This one was no exception. He ran
along the ice, head down, and wher'
he reached the hole he could not stop.
but plunged into the water and disap,
peared forever Then the fox trotted
away with every sign Of satisfaction.

The Conductors Baton.

According to the investigations of a
Frenchman the credit of inventinG the
conductors baton belongs to Lully, the
composer, who eventually had cause 10
regret his invention. Before he adopted
the baton conductors were in the habit
of pounding on the floor with their
feet or clapping their hands to mark
the time. Lully found it wearisome to
keep his foot constantly in motion and
so used Il stick TO strike the floor and
beat time. He used pole six feet
long. One day he brought down the
pole with such force that it struck his
foot and made deep wound. He paid
no attention to the matter. The wound
grew worse and ultimately caused his
death.
After his time conductors tried more
and more to improve the baton, and 1t
was ultimately brought to its present
form
