The October Girl.
The summer girl is quite forgot
Despite her overwhelming graces;
No more she cheers our earthly lot
A sunbeam in a mist of laces.
IT'S the October girl who charms

We SILVER at a frown of hers,
A smile, and all the world is smiling,
And hearts are the thermometers
Which sadly measure her beguilng.

if move cannot be made to secure the
same for their town.
Brunswick business men are watching
with a great deal of interest the at
tempt that is being made in Bath to
have the post office corridor kept open
all night and the general delivery win
dow open until midnight, as they feel
confident that if that service is given

same benefit.
The word comes from Bangor that the
indications point to more game being

The smallpox guards in Orono have
| troubles of their own. Guaranteed in
the house with one of the smallpox
patients is a younger brother. who is
somewhere about 20 years of age. This

to evade quarantine and go where he
chose. The guard consulted Constable
Smith in regard to the matter. KNOCK
him down. was the prompt answer, but
don't let him get by you." Soon the
guard came to Constable Smith again
Il have knocked him down. said the
guard, but it don't do any good. What
shall | do?" Take "a club to him." was
the answer. Lay him out rather thar
