First Customer Usually Leads in Buy

ing What All Will Want.
There was a bargain sale in
workbaskets, and the green bas-
kets were selling very rapidly,
says the New York Times. "Why
is the green so popular?' asked a
curious customer.
"Well, you see, ma'am, the first
lady bought a green one"
"What do you mean by the first
lady?0
Il mean the first lady to buy a
basket bought a green one, and
that settled it for the rest. They
all wanted green ones. There was
a crowd Of purchasers around at
first some of them admiring the
green baskets, some the yellow,
and some the red. Finally one
woman stated boldly that she
wanted green, and after a little
hesitation the others standing
around followed her, forgetting
all about their expressed prefer
ence for other cOlors.
"It's not only in baskets, but in
everything we sell, that we notice
this tendency of women to follow
one another in their purchases.
Sometimes we put out an assert
ment of white skirts, and so far
as we can see one style is as pretty
as another In come five or six
women, all handling different
skirts. Then one of them an
nounces that she will take a GER
tain skirt The woman beside her
peers at the skirt that has been
purchased and asks if there are
any more like it. The woman be
side her does the same thing, and
we know we are in for selling that
kind Of skirt before all the others.
Women remind me of flock of
sheep"

FIRE AT NORTHEAST HARBoR
Destroys Dwelling and Two Stables
Loss Estimated at $4,000.

Destroys Dwelling and Two Stables
Loss Estimated at $4,000.
Fire destroyed the dwelling and stable
OF Mrs. Joseph Corson and the livery
stable of Edwin 5. Atwood early Saturday
morning. The property loss is estimated
at $4,000.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Corson
about a. M, she being awakened by the
noise made by the cattle and horses con-
fined in her stable. Investigation showed
that her stable was all abIaze, also the
livery stable of Mr.. Atwood, which ad-
joined her buildings.
The Atwood stables were closed for the
winter and contained only harnesses and
carriages. Nothing was saved from this
stable.
The Corson property consisted of a
large livery stable and carriage shed and
dwelling. In the stable were several
horses and cattle, but these were safely
got out. The remainder of the contents
of the stable was burned.
Atwood's loss is estimated at 5000,
covered by insurance. The Corson loss 10
about 90, 900, also insured.
The fire apparently originated in the
Corson stable and communicated to the
Atwood stable. The cause of the fire Is
unknown.
The Atwood stable was a new building,
only being completed in time for the past
seasons business.
II it had not been for the efficient SER
vice of the fire department, there is no
telling where the flames would have
stopped, as the buildings were centrally
located and surrounded by several wooden
structures.

FIRE AT AMHERST.
HANCOCK TANNERY TOTALLY
DESTROYED MONDAY NIGHT.
Loss is ESTIMATED AT OVER 500, 900
INSURANCE s52, 00O--BUILT IN
1881 $4,000 IN STOCK
BURNED.

Fire totally destroyed the plant of the
Hancock Leather Co. at Amherst Monday
night between II and IL o'clock. Loss
about 100000.
The fire started in the leach room
apparently from an endless chain. When
it was discovered 1t had gained such head
way that the small forcs pump--the only
apparatus on the ground-was unable to
cope with the flames, which spread with
great rapidity. Everything except the
boiler house and an old saw mill was
burned fiat to the ground.
What brings the loss up to such a
high figure is the large amount OF stock
the company had on hand-about 800 600
OF leather. On the stock there was S40,-
900 insurance, and $4,000 on the build
ings.
At the time Of the fire the company had
bark enough on hand to keep the tan
Bery running for the next fifteen years.
TANNERY BUILT IN 1881.
This taDnery was the oldest one in he
State and probably the oldest one in The
country. 1t was built in 1881. In 1871
Charles o. Tanning bought the property
and operated 1t.
Fourteen years later the tannery was
taken over by A. H. Buzzeil who, with his
son Oliver, carried on the business for a
long term Of years. During that time the
tannery was enlarged and the output in
creased to such an extent as to make it a
thriving industry.
In 1891 James Rice, Of Bangor, bought
an interest in the business and worked
with the Buzzells until 1898 when the
latter retired.
Upon the retirement of Buzzsll a stock
company was formed under the name OF
the Hancock Leather Co., Mr.. Rice taking
his sons into the business, and since that
time the tannery has been operated under
that name.
BUT ONCE CLOSED.
Since the time the taunery was built in
1881 it has not been closed down but once
In its long career of seventy-two years,
aud then only for the short period OF three
weeks.

the time of the burning had several men
