Mr.. Binks started in with a grim de-
termination
Once or twice in his life he had seen
man milk a COW. He distinctly re-

finished the second line of the song,
when the COW made a sudden move
ment with her left leg. II was COM

and forked lightning. The milk pail
flew past her, and hit the fence with
bang. but Mr. Binks, and his box,
and grim determination flew the other
way. he wasn't exactly sure what
had happened, and he asked no ques-
ton until his breath returned, and he
could sit up.
Then he queried:
Was il the-the cow"
1T was the COW" answered Mrs.
Binks. Il told you that you knew
nothing about milking"
"She-she kicked me- did sbe?'
she did Give me the pail, and III

two, and then I'll come out and see
who kicked the COW and made her kick

Mrs. Binks got the pail and box, and
sat down 70 the COW. Ten minutes |
later she entered the house.

Liberty is Proud of Her Bright Old Lady
Mrs. Sally Reed Wentworth.

Mrs. Sally Reed Wentworth.
LIBERTY, Aug S. We pride ourselves
upon the fact that we have in this pleasant
little village one of the smartest and bright
est old ladies IN the New England States,
Mrs. Sally Reed Wentworth, who was born
in Sedgwick ninety-foUr years ago next
September. ANY person seeing Grandma
Wentworth as she looked one sunshiny
morning recently walking with lightness
OF foot many maid of twenty might envy,
bent Oh making an early call on neghbor,
would find it hard to convince themselves
she is SO near the century mark.
She was married to Freeman Wentworth
when she was twenty-five and moved to
Knox, where she lived until his death
shortly after their Goth wedding anniver-
Sary. She speaks of him now with her eyes
bedimmed with tears as my good man.
A family of six boys and girls were born to
them, FIVE of whom are now living, Elijah
Went worth of Knox; Mrs. Sarah L. Lord
of Nassalboro; Mrs. Linda W. knowton of
Belfast Austin W. Wentworth and Mrs
Mary Baker of this town, with whom she
lives.
\ few weeks ago she drove to NaSsalb0rO
to visit her daughter and while there con-
tracted severe cold and pneumonia deyel-
oped. The attending physician said that
owing to her advanced age there was no
chance Of her recovery ; however, she grew
better instead OF worse, but at the end of d
week she had d sudden relapse and came so
near deaths door that the grandson drove
here to get the clothes she had made ready
for her burial land her daughter, Mrs. Baker,
unable to go to her mothers side, waited in
momentary expectation of her death, when
one morning about two weeks later she was
astounded to see her nephew drive into the
yard accompanied by her mother.

AGAINST THE BOOK TRUST.


Right of the Individual Business Man To

~ decision has been handed down

Judge Ray, III the action Of Charles

ing the combination of publishers and
booksellers, which he holds to be in
violation of the Sherman Antitrust
Law.
Editoriauy the New York Journal
says,
1.-THE firm of r. H. Macy 4 Co. rem
dered a really great service to the pub
lie at large and to the business interests
of the community in their fight against
the Book Trust.
The Book Trust alleged its right to
forbid retailers to sell books below a
certain price fixed by the trust.
Macy 4 Co. acting in behalf Of the
purchasing public, maintained in the
courts, at considerable expense, their
right to sell merchandise bought by
them for whatever price they pleased,
The case was heard before Judge
Ray in the United States Circuit Court,
Isidor Straus and Nathan Straus, part
ners, appearing under the firm of R. H.
Macy 4 Co., in behalf of the public and
the rights of the individual business
man.
'The thanks of the public are due to
r. II. Macy X Co. for the fight they
made against this particular form of
trust oppression. And still greater
thanks are due to Judge Ray for this
| excellent opinion, i'll which he sustains
| the action of Messrs. Straus appearing
| in behalf of the public interests.
1T is to be hoped that the get-rich-
