If the National Guard in rife practice
Turing the coming year. The Guard
vas equipped throughout. last sum-
ner with the new United States mag
zine rifle, commonly known as the
'krag," and as these were given out
only a few days before the TWO regi-
nents went to Portland to take part in
he war game, the boys have had but
title practice with them at the ranges.
\ few OF the companies have fired Il
ew rounds during the fall, but during
| he coming year the work will be taken
lp systema tically throughout both the
| egiments and every effort will be
| made to keep the standard of mark
| nanship very high. The Maine boys
| lave had a great reputation in this
| inc in former years, and they will now
| strive to maintain it with the new
| Weapon. The calibre of the "krag''
| lie is so, while the old Springfield
| which was used by the Guard for about
| 80 years, was As calibre.
| Although only few days of the

than A. B. Perkins Of the State House

surprise party. The aforementioned
friends, thinking that there were sew
eral things of which the genial "Alf"
stood in need, came prepared. The
Hon. Edward Wiggin led the invaders
and in words that eminently fitted the
occasion presented him with large
array of costly and beautiful gifts.
The presents were no less beautiful
than varied, and they were withal use
full. One which the recipient will prize

Perkins has long had difficulty in mas
tering the time schedule of the Electric

himself 10 minutes too late. But with
his new rolling -stock. as Mr.. Wiggn
pointed out, he will be able to catch
car any time that he wishes.
