That it is not always wealth that
brings happiness, and that one can
have an enjoyable and restful vacation
without the expenditure of a large
amount of money has been amply
proved by a Lewiston family. Mr.. and
Mrs. H. c. Hascall of Orange street,
Lewiston, having made their own tent
and oiled it, the entire expense being s.,
accompanied by their sons Bruce AMI
Lincoln, pitched, it in pine grove
about a mile from Rumford Junction
depot. The camp is only two minutes
walk from Il spring which bubbles up
out of clean white sand. Their butter
and eggs and cream are OF the freshest,
as they obtain them from the neighbor-
ing farm-hOuses, and as Cor berries, -
there are quantities of blueberries
growing near which may be had for the
picking. All of the cooking is done out
of doors and the table is spread be-
meath the trees. a number of friends
have been entertained at this hospi-
table camp and have come away de-
| lighted with this ideal mode of living
next to Natures heart. Perhaps little

himself down on his bed. TIL, first night,

WANT don't need snother thing" So
much do the family enjoy their camp;
that they are thinking, another sum-
mer, of building a log hut upon the
place. ''To think of people not going
on vacation for fear of the expense
when they can have so good time for
almost nothing" says Mrs. Hascall.

THE LEGISLATURE.
Spicy Letter From the State Capitol
at Madison.
LAW MAKERS ARE IN SESSION
onstrated that the Administration
Forces Will Have Comparatively
Easy sailing During the
Coming Months.
Special Correspondence

Madison, Jan. 1.-THE legislature
met last week on Wednesday and or
ganized. A caucus of the republican
members having decided upon the Of
ficers, there was no friction in set
ting the legislative wheels in motion.
The caucus demonstrated beyond
doubt that the administration, or La
Toilette element of republicans, was
largely in the majority. A resolu
ton binding participant is in the
caucus to support the platform OF
the republican party as enuciated
last fall was adopted, fourteen re-
publican assemblymen of the stall
wart faith walking out of the caucus.
These men claimed that they would
not be tied down as to their future
action. Tie stration forces
insist that the pledge demanded does
not interfere with Individual judg-
ment as to Il Q best methods of carry.
ing out party promises.
The administration element is so
largely in the majority, that there
seems little doubt but that the way
is clear for Gov. La Toilette to enact
into law the principles he has been
urging for four years or longer.
There will, of course, be opposition.
but it cannot Withstand the votes
that the administration will com
mand. Some modification of the
governors views will be made, but
not to the extent of affecting. the
general propooition he has in mind.
Included in the ranks OF the admins
tration members are many strong
an, who, while entirely in accord
with the govern cr, feel that they
MIST use their own judgment in all
matters.
Assemblyman Lenroot, of Douglas
county, was reelected speaker with
GU opposition and Senator McGil-
livray president of senate pro TEN.
Both men have made fine records
and in THEN speeches of acceptance
foreshadowed the determination IN
carry out the republican platform
pledges. There were few contest
over minor positions.
On Thursday the governor read
his message to the two houses in
joint session. 1t was three hours
long, but the large audience was
deeply interested throughout, as the
governor is most attractive on the
platform and and he discussed many
lively topics. The railroad question
was the most prominent one treated
and in forceful way the executive
outlined legislative measuree that
are in accord with his former adj
dresses and documents. More safe
guards around the state treasurer's
office were urged, the people were
compimented upon the triumph Of
the primary election law and the
neecs OF the various state institu-
tions were discussed. The message
will make formidable voI,,no n
will prove one of the most valuable
state papers.

Made His Getaway.

.'Bully" Meadows, who had been
taken in by City Marshal Ducey to
work out a fine standing against him
for some previous offense, was placed
on the rock pile Monday morning to
pound rock for the city. Ducey had
another gang to look after and left
"Bully' at the rock pile, while he
went to lay out work for the others.
"Bully" was not favorably Impress
ed with his job with the sun BEAM

the ''coon' by placing the heavy
ball and chain to his ankle. The
negro didn't mind a little thing like a
75-pound ball with a log chain at
tachment, W though locked to his
leg, and the moment Ducey got out OF
his sight and hearing "Bully'' took
the heavy ball to his bosom and with
the crude chain dangling to his ankle
''skipped out"

of cast are that the ''coon" made his

Stole Several Axes.

Tuesday morning Sheriff Wilson
and City Marshall VIM. Ducey re-
ceived word from Cole Camp to
look out for thieves who had stolen a
number of broad-axes and chopping
axes from a hardware firm in that
place the evening previous.
Both officers began an investigation
here and found that two ''seedy''
looking individuals had been in Yer
sailles early Tuesday morning, and
by putting up . plausible story had
succeeded in ~disposing of one broad
AK to Etter, Kidwell X Wingot, while
ID. c. Hardy, ST., had bought one OF
the chopping axes.
The axes we're all new and the
strangers claimed to have purchased
them from a wholesale hardware firm
Of St. Louis, and as the fellows looked
like wood choppers their story was
believed. As soon as they succeed
ed in securing a reduced price for
the axes the strangers disappeared
and as yet have not been apprehend-
ed. As the articles stolen did not
amount to sufficient to offer a reward
for their capture the thieves will
probably never be molested. They
are supposed to have gone east from
here.

city caved in last Saturday, the main
portion Of the bank sinking abou,

cave-in was n Of the large pumps,

their lives. Several months ago this
bank was equipped with new ma
