Lost Her Way.

Little Miss Florence Moore, or Fan
ME as she said her name was, started
out, Monday morning, for walk all
by her little own self. The morning
was so fine and the walking was SO
good that she went much farther than
she realized, SO that she could not find
her way back. Her little head had
no hat to keep the breezes from play
ing pranks with the golden curls and
the little morning calico tire had to
do duty as an outer garment. She was
first noticed by Deputy Marshal Gull
LITER down in the vicinity of the Lock-
wood. He thought then that her home
was on Water street and that she was
going towards it, but soon realized that
she was lost. He turned her up the
street in the hope that she would be
able to find her way and watched her
until she reached Dickerson's store. 1t
was plain then that she was bewildered.
SO he took charge and left her at the
City building, to be called for.
In the mayors Office she was as
happy as could be, perched on the big
window sill and watching business in
the street. She could tell her name.
but not where she lived and was ap-
parently not so very particular about
returning. Meanwhile word was sent
out in all directions and Grandma"
soon located her and led her away, de-
lighted with her walk and visit. The
police department and the officials in
the City building are now included in
the list of her best friends and she
may call on them again some day.

While at the capital, the st. Johr

government prepared by c. p. r. en-
gineers for the further extension OF
ocean terminal facilities in the port OF
st. John. The plans provide new piel
docks running down along the western
shore towards the breakwater at the

accommodations for 80 large steamers
and will cost $5,00O,000.
The G.. P. R. is willing to concede tC
the city all the water rights 1T holds

Dominion government will undertake
the work, expanding 100000 yearly
until the docks are completed.

Street Methodist church to succeed
Rev. A. A. Lewis, who goes to Lewis
ton, will come here from Biddeford,
where he has served for six years and

way under his leadership and he comes
to Waterville with an unusually fine
record.
Mr.. Bradlees father was i'll in Bos-

that his son left him to attend the ses-

Waterville will regret very much to

he will meet with success in Lewiston
During his pastorate here he has done
excellent work and the church has
prospered. Waterville knows that
Lewiston will like him and hopes that
