traffic. both mail and otherwise. of the

mands that this accommodation be in,
stalled at this point. 1t is said that the

"The stagnation of shipping on the
upper Kennebec river is not to be con-
sidered as anything unusual said a
water front man. yesterday. This
season has been good one in local
shipping circles. and business may now
be considered off until next spring.
There have been no vessels, save the
reliable Della Collins. on the river since
early last week. and although there
may he a schooner of coal come up this
month, the business is practically over
for the season."

They WOrked the Fraternity.

The Grand Regent Of the Royal. Ar
canum, of the District of Columbia,
tells story on himself, how after pa
tiently urging, perSuading and nagging,
he managed to get a fellow acquaint-
ance to join his order. This new men,
ber,-say Mr.. Smith-after joining was
at first delinquent in paying his dues,
and the great mOgul of the fraternity
hadmuch trouble in getting him to pay
Up. After time, much to his surprise,
Mr.. Smith sent his money in promptly
on the day it was due; then he sent in
his money two months in advance. A
short time after, Mrs. Smith came into
the Grand Regents place of business
and said, Wont you please come
around to see Mr.. Smith, he is very ILL"
OF course the kind-hearted Regent
went. He found Smith very ILL., indeed,
so sick that the physician had told
him his time on earth was limited, and
Smith took occasion to thank the Re
gent for getting him to join the order
so that he might not pass away leav-
ing his family unprovided for. Smith
died. His widow then beseeched the
Regent to try to get her some work to
do so that she might support her
family. The Grand Regent was again
obliging, and by hard work and an un-
limited amount of red tape, got her
through the civil service examination
and she obtained a position in one Of
the Government Departments. Just be-
fore receiving her notice to go to work
(about six months after her husbands
demisel she appeared again at the
Grand Regents Office and said:
II want to thank you for what you
have done for me. I have just re-
ceived my appointment, but I don't
think will take the place; I have
something better. I want to ask one
more favor, won't you please recon-
mend this partys admission to your
order?"
well, now, Mrs. Smith," said the
Regent, 'that is something I can't do
without knowing the applicant"
"Oh, he is all right, 1 can assure
you," she replied, "he's my husband"

you strike my father" Captain Dick
stared in stupid amazement. "Why,
you young fool, clear out of my way.
I've half mind to double you up and
drop you overheard, before 1 do the
old man; get out of my way" he
thundered.
rowed, as do those or his feline pro-
totype when cornered by some big
dog, but he stood still, seemingly un-
cornered and looking as ungainly and
awkward as if at a school eXamina-
ton. The captain started towards
him, with his arm raised and his
powerful fist clenched, and old Enoch
hastily grabbed club that lay on the
wharf. But "Scat' said softly:
"Never mind, Pap-just you watch
me-" Stepping rapidly backward, as
the captain continued to advance, he
deftly calculated the distance, and as
quick as lightning threw a hand
spring. Instead of landing on his
feet, he shot out those immense hob
nailed shoes with fearful force, land
ing them both full in the captains
face, cutting it to the bone in a
dozen places. Captain Dick dropped
as if hit by cannon ball, without
even a groan.
A week later, when he slowly
dragged himself from his bed, and
got the first view Of his swollen eyes,
his broken nose, and his generally
cut up and distorted features, he NUT
tered, whats whale of squall
must have struck u.s." Then opened
his cabin door, walked out, and the
good people of the village saw him
no more.

meet them" Captain Enoch's eyes
lashed-for he himself had been a ia
nous fighter in his day, and no man
had ever doubted hrs courage-but he
answered quietly, "Tut, tut, Captain
Dick, we're too old friends to quarrel
about nothing, and anyway you know
my fighting days are over" Eyes,
damn you, didn't say you were a
sneaking old hypocrire, and only fit to
sail lot of dudes and school girls ?"
''Well, I'm going to slap that griz-
Zled old face of yours, and then per-
haps you'll get up spunk enough to
strike back, so 1 can have an excuse
to throw you overheard" Cries Of
''shame, shame" were heard from the
loungers near, for everyone loved Cap
tain Enoch-and were beginning to
hate Captain Dick-and two of the
bright college boys that composed the
late sailing party FASTENED back to do
what they could to prevent the threat
from being put into execution.
Suddenly a sort of purring sound
was heard behind them, as "Scat's"
long body pushed them aside, and in
his slow, hesita ting, almost girl-like
voice, he said: Captain Dick, don't

New Walk For Women.

From London comes startling re-
ports Of new figure and a new pose
which have been called into existence
by the winter fashions. Women who
have for the last year been lightly
tripping in the short "trottoir" skirt
have found that they must adapt
their style of walking to the new Or
der of Things. A slow, languorous
movement of the limbs is therefore
cultivated, as being more conductive
to grace when wearing the long 'red-
ingote" coat and the newly intro
duced princess styles.
The new walk is just a little sug-
gestive Of the Gibson GIRL" but in a
modified form. The figure is held up
right at the shoulders, with the
slightest forward bend at the waist,
the head is erect, the chin in and the
legs swing from the hips. The cor
rect poise is not attained all at once
according to the London Express-and
at the physical culture schools, where
society is now graduating in the ara
of how to walk in "redingote," some
very drastic orders are given. The
practice of sleeping on the back or
one side is fatal to the new poise.
If the woman of fashion would look
tall and stately she must sleep face
downward, with a pillow tightly
wedged under her chin In order to
avoid suffocation.
Amador ledger., 1905-12-22

Old Enoch Gray lived in the now
almost forgotten town of Castaway,
on the coast of Maine, and his son
"Scat" lived with him.
Old Enoch was a griZzled veteran
of over seventy years, relic of the
civil war, in which he had done good
service as a pilot in the fleets of Du-
pont and Porter, but was now badly
crippled by rheumatism, and the re-
suits of his fifty years exposure to
the wind and weather in all quarters
of the globe.
He had long been a widower, and
the only one left of his numerous
children was this son. christened
Samuel Carter, now twenty-five years
of age, and as long and lank and
homely as could be found on the en-
tire coast. Because Samuel Carter
had kind of feline expression and
from his earliest babyhood could climb
like cat, anything from the old lib
erty pole on shore to the mast of a
vessel at sea when the winds were
blowing great guns, and because he
had habit of making a sort of pur-
ring sound, when about to speak,
uISI Hill
PUSSY" and then someone said
"Scat," and "Scat' it was thenceforth
Old Enoch was the captain of one
of the many pleasure boats and now
the most sought for, when the sum-
mer boarders wanted man in whose
knowledge of seamanship they had
the most implicit confidence, and
whose prophecies of the winds and all
possible storms were SO much more to
be relied upon than "Old Improba-
bilities," as they called the Weather
Bureau at Washington. If the party
was to be large and the trip was to be
to one of the many islands and in
cluded a clam-bake and chowder din
ner, "Scat" generally accompanied his
father, and many stories were told of
his great strength and remarkab BILE
agility, and jokes were made at the
size Of his immense feet. 1t was said
his shoes were made on special
'1ast," and he always insisted on
having the soles filled with great
brass-headed nails.
Castaway was in those days, and
may be yet, the home of many sa-
looms and drinking places, and the
