Fire at Hebron.
BLAZE IN BARRows LODGE IS sUBDUEI
IN SHORT TINE.

Fire broke out at about IL o'clock
Tuesday night in Barrows Lodge, the
new boys dormitory at Hebron Acad,
envy, and quite blaze was going before
it was got under control.
The boys of the fire department were
on hand and ready for business and in
a very short time had stream upon the
building which, as is usually the case,
did more damage than the fire itself
completely flooding the end of the house
to which the fire was confined. However
it is fact beyond all question that had
it not been for the fire fighting appa.
ratus with which the school is equipped
Hebron Academy would at this moment
have heap of ashes in place of Barrows
Lodge.
There are in the building rs boys
rooming and Prof. Thomas and wife have
suite of rooms on the second floor
The fire broke out in the bath room Oh
the third floor in the east end of the
house and burned large hole in the
roof over this end. The rooms in the
other end of the building were unharmeo
either by fire or water, the only damage
to them being to the furniture which
was got out in hurry. Prof. Thomas
rooms were completely flooded by the
water from the two inch hose which
was taken in through his window. Bar
low and Seiders whose rooms are direct
| ly beneath those of Mr.. Thomas, also
came in for share of the wetting. Tit
rooms of Stinchfield, NickerSon, William
and Erie Howe, Abbott and Sampson
were the only others damaged.
The cause of the fire is unknown

Harlow's Diamond Ring Found.

The diamond ring taken by Leroy A.
French from w. G. Harlow of Dixfield,
when he held him up in the woods near
Rangeley and relieved him of his valua-
bles, has been found and returned to Mr..
Harlow.
1t was thought all through the hearing
and trial of the case that French knew
where the ring was and had managed to
hide it away where he alone would be
able to find it on his release from GUS
tody. 1t is probable, however, that the
disappearance of the valuable ornament
was as great surprise and mystery to
French as to any one, for it was found
by Mrs. Floyd Taylor in the yard sur
rounding her home in Lang Plantation.
1t will be remembered that on French's
ride with Mr.. Harlow from Rangeley to
Pennington, the first stop was made at
the house of man named Taylor in
Lang Plantation, where they were to get
a lunch, but where Harlow made his
first and only attempt to escape from
French. Mr.. Harlow ran around the
house and French after him, and in some
manner the ring must have got away
kfrom French during the race.

The Belfast boys have been shooting
great numbers of sea fowl this fall.
They are not regarded as particularly
valuable for culinary purposes, and the
Belfast Journal recalls receipt once
given for cooking them: First remove
the oil bag, then parboil them "a hours,
then bake "a hours-then throw them
away. The editor says he recently
heard additional directions. A young
man who was taking some of the birds
home was told that if he wiggled his
toes when he was eating he would not
notice the fishy taste.

Johns Letter.
HE ATTENDS THE DEDICATION OF THE
NEW HALL OF MOUNTAIN GRANGE.

And now a grand good time has come
to US again, or more correctly speaking,
we went where it was-at the new hall
of Mountain Grange, North Buckfield.
We apprehend that memory has already
struck off a calendar and presented 1t to
each member of Mountain Grange, and
to each visiting member from other
oranges, with line of red around Nov.
LIST, 1904. That is correct and as 1t
should be.
The dedication was complete and suf-
ficient with no special dedicatory serv-
ices, and Oxford Pomona added largely
to the services, but did not furnish the
entire entertainment. Twas a mixed
programme and we'll mixed. Twenty
nine souls were initiated into the myster-
les of the Fifth Degree-mysteries that
have been hidden from the foundation
of the world. We think that the largest
number of visitors was from Paris, some
from Hebron, East Hebron, Turner,
Sumner and maybe from other oranges.
Perhaps $50 sat down to well-filled
table-or several tables-and if they did
not get we'll filled it was their own fault.
The thought came to us while there,
and it usually comes to us when in
crowd of people, that no two faces look
alike, and yet the eyes are there all
right, with the nose hitched on between,
and the mouth is anchored below, the
chin is in the proper place and the ears
are stuck on opposite sides of the head.
What more is needed to make it pat
tern for all faces, so that when one is
seen you have seen them all with no
variation? Don't know.
Nature is an artist of vast resources.
She is sometimes in a humorous mood
and makes few extra dabs and flour
ishes, but always within fixed lines and
rules, never placing the eyes on the top
of the head nor the ears on the shoulders
as in Hafed's Dream. So il comes to
pass that the human face divine is not
mistaken for some species of vegetable
production.
o, yes! About that new hall. IT'S a
good one-substantial, well planned, and
beautiful as to situation. We fancy
that the energy and the enthusiasm of
the members were not exhausted in the
building of their hall, but there remains
a plenty stored up for future use. We
bespeak for them long season of pros
perity if they live up to the principles of
the grange, love one another, bear and
forbear, and hold sacred the rights of
each and all, and give the olive branch
of peace prominent place in the coun-
ell chambers of the heart. When bick-
ering and bitterness enter the family the
home is destroyed.
When quarrel arises in a church the
usefulness of that church is ended. The
Christ departs, taking the light with
Him. The grange is not exempt from
the same visitations. The devil of dis
cord can enter without the password,
without the signal at the gates, and
when he enters-Good-by, Grange!

DIV is a cure suitable for old and young,

mine had a child just over two months
old. 1t had very bad cough and the
parents did not know what to give it..
suggested that if they would get bot
tie of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy and
put some upon the dummy teat the baby
was sucking it would no doubt cure the
child. This they did and brought about
quick relief and cured the baby"

Chance Comment.

There seems to be some disagreement
as to how the newspaper correspondents
have been treated by the belligerents in
the war in the East. We have been in
formed all along that the correspondents
have not been allowed to get within less
than six or eight miles of the actual
fighting, and that their services we're
rendered of 80 little account that they
have given it up and come home. Yet
here is General Manager Stone of the
Associated Press asserting that "there
has been no war for many years when
the correspondents were afforded such
facilities or shown 80 many courtesies at
the front as during the present conflict
between Russia and Japan. While the
novelists and amateurs have been given
scant opportunity to cover themselves
with glory, the real war correspondents
have been treated differently" From
the vast amount of misinformation sent
out during the early months of the war,
it would appear that at least part of
the correspondents had no reliable
sources of information.

1t took the Russian feet in the North
Sea about fifteen minutes to sink an
English fishing vessel, damage Others,
and kill two men. 1t will probably take
fifteen weeks to get the commission

whether there we're really japanese

Russians fired on their own torpedo
