opinion as to when Indian summer be-
gins. Some OF the best authorities

Indian summer. It's advent is no more
movable. however, than the beginning
Of the various seasons themselves.
Meanwhile let us make the most of the
glorious New England weather, what
ever the month.

The joke is certainly on Sheriff
Worthley. of Franklin county. He has
gained considerable notOricty, however
over the State in the little episode in
which he figured, or didn't figure, when
last Monday the train went off and left
him standing on the platform at Leeds

bound UP in leg-irons and hand-cuffs
continued on his way to the State
prison alone. Sheriff WOrthley started
with his man from Pennington. and
was to bring him 70 Auburn. where
Warden Smith, Of the State prison, had
arranged to meet the officer with his
prisoner. When the train got down to
Leeds Junction where the change was
to be made for Auburn, Sheriff Worth
ley got out and entered into converse
ton with some friends. Knowles con-
tinued on and when the train arrived
at Lewiston got off Sheriff Cummings
was notified and took the prisoner to
Auburn Jail, where later Warden smith
took him in charge and brought the
man to Tnomaston. When he arrived
at the prison there was more trouble,
for although Knowles came through all
right, the keys to the leg-irons and
handouts We're many miles away in
the pocket of Sheriff Worthley. As
there were no keys ut the prison to fit
the irons. Knowles was obliged to go
TO bed bound hand and foot. The

they misunderstood the message.
Time passed but no keys came. Farm
lngton officers were called up again,
and this time they grasped the stu
alton. so that "Wednesday night the
keys arrived and Knowles was freed.

would have come right through to

Common Sense Bracket" the new
rural comedy in which Henry w. Say
age will star Richard Golden, the
Maine actor, is among the early book
ines in this State. The piece is from
the pen of Charles w. Doty and
abounds with those quaint types to be
found in New England village. Mr..
Golden will portray the role of Il down
East hotel keeper-a man of the soil,
big hearted and with an inquisitive but
kindly interest in his fellow man. The
part is somewhat similar to "Old Jed
Prouty," in which Mr.. Golden won
fame some years ago. The locale Of
Common Sense Bracket" is laid in a
small town in Maine and an interesting
circumstance connected with the sec
ond act of the play is that the opera
house shown on the stage is a fac
