Our Moving Sidewalk.
(Waterville Mail.)

Augusta is talking of having movable
sidewalk to convey people from Water to
State street in that city The proposed
location is on Winthrop Hill. which
casual visitors at least have been climb
years. The residents have got their
muscle and their wind so we'll trained
by the long practice that the tremendous
hills of the capital city don't seem to
trouble them much. but the strain upon
outsiders is pretty heavy. Even the plis-
oners being escorted from the railroad
station to the Jail would appreciate the
convenience of a moving sidewalk par
ticularly when their fare for the ride was
paid by the county. By all means pro-
moters of enterprise should be en-
couraged. Possibly the State Legislature
might be persuaded to aid by voting a
small appropriation for the support Of
such a contrivance. Some of the lcgisia-
tors are not always in condition to climb

One little eight-year-old boy living in
Surry acted the part of hero the other
day. Willie Stewart, aged nine, and
Edwin Goodwin, aged eight, were play
ing on the mill pond, skating and slid
ing. The pond was frozen over, but the
ice was thin, and soon began to crackle,
then gave way, and Willie Goodwin in
stead of being frightened and running
for help, watched as near the hole as
possible, where his playmate had dis
appeared, until he saw his head above
water, then caught him by the hair and
dragged him to safety. 1t was a peril
Gus position for both boys for the ice
was unsafe, and while rescuing his
companion, it is a wonder that Good
win was not also thrown in the pond.
There was no one near, and but for the
brave act of the child there would be
one boy less in Surry.
The burned district in Eustis is
gradually being rebuilt. The two
Sylvester brothers have rebuilt their
houses and stables and will build a
store in the spring. The Shaw House
will also be rebuilt in the spring, and
it is reported seven residences will then
go UP. Clothing and bedding to the
amount of 5000 lbs. has been sent from
various places, and the railroads and
stages brought it all free of charge
The relief committee now $400 in their
hands, to help the people rebuild. 1t is
hoped to give 800 to each one who
builds next year. The Franklin &
Megantic railroad has kindly offered to
reduce their freight rates one half upon
all freight intended for rebuilding pur-
poses; and the town has voted to eX-
empt three years from taxation all
buildings erected the coming summer.

A lad of Is or Whereabouts at the
time, he was spending the winter in
Paris with his mother. One cold
night in February he stayed out I'M
usually late, and, desiring to get in
without awakening anyone, he rang
up the concierge softly. The concierge,
with equal softness, came down stairs.
He whispered through the keyhole, rs
that you, M. Palmer?" and then he
said, positively:
Il can't let you in, SIR"
why not?" asked the young man.
Because the rules are very strict"
said the concierge. mo one ever is
let in after midnight"
The boy desired ardently to enter.
He thought moment; then he slipped
Il gold louis under the door.
4 have just slipped a gold louis
under the door for you, concierge" he
whispered. Now, let me in, that's a
good fellow"
The concierge instantly drew back
the bolt. Come in softly. Make no
noise, monsieur" he said shamelessly.
But young Palmer was already re-
GREETING the gold louis-his last one.
A thought struck him, and he had no
sooner entered than he said:
"Oh, by the way, 1 left a book on
the stone balustrade outside. Do you
mind getting it for me-"
With great politeness the concierge
in his bare feet, tiptoed out upon the
cold stones. While he fumbled about
the boy pushed to the door and lock-
ed it.
Let me in, monsieur" whispered the
concierge, who had nothing on but a
night dress of white linen.
Il can't let you in. We let no one
in after midnight. Unless
But young Palmer had to go no
further.
The concierge, freezing in the cold,
perceived that he had been outwitted,
and in his turn slipped the gold louis
under the door. Pocketing it the boy
admitted the man, and then went
quietly to bed.-New York News.
