the work upon herself. This Office
was called upon to furnish sailors for
Rockland, Rockport, Thomaston and
all along the Kennebec, and Mrs. Ran
lett has supplied the trade at Rock
land with as many as 5000 in ono
year. Not only that, but she has often
conveyed ships crews to Boston,
reaching there with the entire out
fit" on schedule time. Mrs. Ranlett
has not only proved herself a good
business woman, but able to cope
with difficulties and command the re-
spect of sailors. Besides all her legi-
innate duties, she has for the last 20
years bred and sold Angora cats, hav-
ing sold thousands of them for fancy
prices. She now raises, exhibits and
sells fancy dogs.

JEWELS AND THE WEATHER.

The up-to-date girl no longer wears
her rings to match her costumes, but
to match the weather.
During the hot summer she discard
ed her diamons and rubies for topazes,
moonstones and turQuoises. She de-
clared the more ardent stones made
her feel warmer than the weather.
With the nippy fall days she puts
on her emeralds and sapphires. On
a bright, sunny day She wears pearls,
but never on a gloomy day. for she
says pearls are nothing but tears any
way, and the combination of pearls
and clouds would be too depressing to
endure.
On rainy days she wears opals be-
cause they promise brightness and
clear days to come. Her rubies, gar
nets and diamonds she saves for win
ter wear.
The diamond is good cold weather
stone, even if it is somewhat state.
Iy, because it is constantly giving out
flashes of brilliant co,or Amethysts
are always suggestive of thick clothes,
and should be worn just as summer is
changing into fall.

BOLERO STILL IN FAVOR.

perhaps nine out Of ten of the street
or walking suits one sees nowadays
have the IonG-ftted or sem-fitted coat.
But this does not mean the demise of
the bolero. This charming and char
liable little shape is seen in many of
the dressier cloth costumes. The
wide girdle in it's natural accompani-
ment in many cases the girdle and bo-
Zero being built on one lining, this
being the method usually followed by
Paris makers.
The distinctive note in the boleros
this season is the position or tabled
back. These are seen in both the fur
and cloth models, and have certainly
an honest right to the favor they are
enjoying, since they are so generally
becoming. They are irrestistibly
smart on the slender, trim girl and
are certainly charitable to that much
to-be-pitied woman who possesses an
ugly back and nip line And, by the
way, it is worth noting that the WON
an who lacks symmetry in this par
ticular-and she is very many in num-
bers, sad to say-had best set down
in her book of sartorial "donts":

OLD-TIME "FACE CULTURE.

No one had ever heard Of "face cul-
ture" or Beauty promotion" in those
happy old days, but women 90 years
ago and longer trfeu to look their
best, as they do now Rice powder
and milk of oranges were deemed emf
nently successful. The latter was
quite easily made by mixing enough
benzoin with orange-hower water to
render the mixture milky. They tint
ed their cheeks those young and mid
dle-aged beauties of tong ago, With
cream of strawberries that gave a
pink glow to the skin. 1t was only
a mixture of almond oil and strawber~

a jar and all the moisture removed.

and sweet oil poured not into a jar
and kept handy, did wonders toward

phor ice. Scented baths were prepar-
ed with bath vinegar and milk of GU
cumbers in the water, and the fair
women of that period took good care
to insure the necessary amount of
exercise, with dancing and horse-rid-
ing. We are not restful enough now
to conaC. poses as they did then,

WHERE TO PUT THE PIANO.

The ordinary upright piano, with
or without its mechanical player"
attachment, may be a JOY forever to
the music lovers of a home, but it is
never a thing of beauty In many an
otherwise artistic setting every pros
pect may please, and this very neces-
sary instrument be the only object
of drawing.
Since a piano most of us must have,
and as in many instances it needs
must turn it's back to the company,
and do so with the rest of the COM
promising severity of most backs that
are turned to the rest of the world,
the tactful softening of its angular
tiles remains among the difficult
smoothings away, both actual and
metaphorical, which fall to the lot of
the mistress of a house.
The vexed question of what to do
decoratively with the upright piano
has been answered better rather from
a negative than a positive viewpoint.
Most of us have satisfactorily decided
what not to do with it in the way Of
draping it with art f0brics and deco
rating it with Japanese fans or col
lection of iangllng china, but really
good effects with the reach of the
average pulse are not so ready to pre-
sent themselves.
The happiest and most artistic way
of dealing with the obstinate square
ness is to treat It as you would any

DOG KIDNAPPED PUPS.
Carried Them From One Mans House
to the Houses Of TWO Others.

10 the Houses Of TWO Others.
Robberies and nold-ups Of various
kinds have puzzled the police Depart
ment for some days past, an lnyestlV
CATION may prove that thief recently
discovered by J. M MaIrlotC, the Wen
known merchant, is responsible Tor
more than the two offenses with
which he is charged by Mr. Marriott,
saws the Salt Lake Tribune.
Some time ago Mr. Marriott pur-
chased two St. Charles spanlels Ger
his little children. The dogs were
tiny pups and now when curled up are
scarcely larger than a mans hand.
Late Monday afternoon, while the
children were outside playing with
the pups, one of them mysterlously
disappeared. On the fOIOwlng even
ing. or afternoon, the second pup dis"
appeared in like manner, and MI. Mar"
riott was preparing to report the mat
ter to r3lice headquarters on We'd
nss5day, when he discovered one of the
pups following a neighbor who lives
lust east OF him on First street.
Mutual explanations followed, and
the woman's version Of how the dog
came INTO ler possession is the Curl
Gus part Of the story. Late Monday
afternoon, she said, she was standing
on her front porch wnen a splendid
looking shepherd dog jumped over the
fence. walked straight to the front
porch, dropped a small dog at her feet
and bounded back ever tie fence, run
ming OIL in the direction from which
he came.
Later in the day Mr. Marriott's chill
dren were telling the story OF the dis
appearance and recovery OF one OF
their pets, when a playmate spoke up
and said he knew where the other pup
wass, indicating a house on Second
street. a block or more from Mr. Mar
riott's residence The little boy went
with all haste to the house pointed
out, and sure enough, there was the
other pup.
When he asked the lady Of the
house for the dog and told her how it
had been stolen from them on Tues
day afternoon, the wonder of the chill
dren grew, for, according to her story,
the same thief was accountable for
the disappearance of bot1 puppies.
The lady in whose possession the
second pup was found told practically
the same story as that told by the
first, except the occurrence was on
Tuesday, instead of Monday after
noon. But the strange part Of it all
is that the shepherd dog belonged to
neither Of the women, and why he
should take the pup: from Mr.. Mar
RIOTS where neither he nor the pups
belonged, is question which is still
puzzling all who have heard the very
unusual story

FASHIONABLE SHOE FOR WOMEN

Styles In footwear for women this
season are very becoming. A notice
able fact Is that the heel for street
use is not SO high as it has been.
Women perhaps have awakened to the
fact that the very high heel Is eX-
tremely injurious to the health, and
they are seemingly content to wear
the Du Barry heel, as it is called, for
evening purposes only. The shoes
with the patent vamp and calfskin
top is one of the most popular models.
So is the soft kid shoe suitable for the
women with tender feet The tops
Of the shoes thi season are very
high. This Is a good point, as they
are very much more warmer and the
cold weather often results in much i'll
ness occasioned from the feet. The
laced shoes Is as ever a favorlte
Many women VINO have always worn
the butt0ned shoe have changed for
the laced and are praising It's results.
A new point in fashion is the lacing
of black shoes with white. 1t is
most attractive fad for women with
small feet, but for those who are not
blessed it is best to retain the black
ones. The Cuban heel is rather low
this year. and the shoes which have
the French heel are often spoiled by
it's being too low. The shoes minus
the tips are always liked by women
with delicate tastes, but 1t is a sur
prising fact that they are not made to
any great extent The smart set have
launched fashion of wearing shoes
with colored heels to match the color
of the gown worn, and it is to be sure
a decided relief and a very pretty fol-
". The horse show made very good
display of footgear, and never before
have the feet been SO, we'll shod as
now For evening wear the slipper
should be made of velvet, and many
are spangled, while others are lavish
ly trimmed with Jet. The black slip
per with the gold heel is a rage at
present, and it looks indeed fascinat-
ing when worn with an all-black gown.
Straps are a universal favorite, and
when the nose are strillingly beautiful
It makes a pretty effect. Notwith-
standing the fact that gowns are not
so long for evening wear as they have
been, the shoes are taking a turn to
show low heels Many handsome
models are displayed with a rather
low heel, which in some cases spells
the effect.-Newark Advertiser.

A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. As rule il is only
necessary to give the child dose Of cas-
tor oil to correct any disorder of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashioned castor oil, and see
that it is fresh, as rancid oil nauseates
and has q tendency to gripe. II this
does not check the bowels give Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy and then a dose OF castor oil,
and the disease NAV be checked in its
incipiency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be pro-
cured at once and kept ready for instant
use as soon as the first indication Of any
bowel trouble appears. This is the
most successful treatment known and
NAV be relied upon with implicit con-
idence even in cases Of cholera intsn-
tum. For sale by Condon Drug Co.

SCHOOL LAND SALE.

October 18th is the date of the school
land sale, md also for the land leasing,
in this county. The list for sale includes
about all the school land left in the coun.
~. Most oi it is appraised at low rates
and much OF it will sell TOR much higher
than appraised. But ii has long ago
been the settled conviction of the author
tiles as we'll as others, that it is better for
the commonwealth to sell these lands
when they will sell for the value set by
the enabling act, $40 per acre, rather
then to hold them Tor higher prices later.
Now in this county it is quite possible
that IN ten years time that these lands
will all sell for much higher prices, but
there are other considerations. First,
the schools need the money now. 1t is
true that we might reaiize more money
Tor another generation by waiting, but
that would not do US any good, and this
generation has done much already ior
their successors.
to balance the increased value Of the tut
ure. Then again the lands become a,

now paid for these lands that the purchas
er cannot afford to let them remain Idle
The lands must be set at work produc.
