Sherburne & Daley have embodied
much of the artists touch and general
good taste in their window displays-
These windows will be particularly at
tractive to 'PatrOns'' and it is hoped
every merchant will make a special ef-
Tort to welcome the coming guests with
liberal display of their "colors." This
is one Of the stores on Water street
that has an "air of attraction Of It's
own, apart from a display of goods.
IhlS effect is greatly enhanced on this
occasion by the fine arrangement of
goods that are among the most desir-
able for Christmas presents. Fur
coats and fur lined coats are always
counted the most "lovely," by those
who ride in sleighs, or automobile.
Elegant bath robes and house coats
come next, then there are all the fancy
box goods. silk braces. arm bands, silk
handkerchiefs, etc, etc. 1t is quite
the thing to give some style of neck
wear to gentlemen, no danger of their
having too many. Fur gloves and kid
gloves are prominent here, silk UNI
brellas, also notice the elegant shoes
fur trimmed Juliettes, Indian slippers
and tiny fur trimmed ones for the lit
tie tots" in the south window

In announcing the new chair car SER
vice on the Maine Central which went
into effect with the change of schedule
the first of the week, a mistake was
made in stating that a chair car would
be attached to train No. 3, which goes
east from Augusta at 1885 p. NJ. A
chair car is attached to train No. l,
which goes east at $40 A. NJ, and also
to train No. 325, which is the Sunday
morning paper train, and goes east at
8 o'clock. The latter arrangement
should prove of great convenience to
early Sunday travellers along the entire
Boston and Bangor route.

1t is said that there is one Aupusta

apparently so well contented that when
the family returned to Augusta at the
close OF the season she absented her

But though lost to sight she was not
forgotten. and word was left with
capt. John "A. Reed the presiding
genius of the island, to send her along

weeks into months. but nothing was
heard of the cat until a short time ago
when postal was received stating
that she would be sent along the fol-
lowing day. She arrived in due sea-

in connection with her arrival, which
showed that she had not forgotten the

was released from the box in which
she had made the trip she went

The great mistake which most people
make In dealing with boys Is when
they are treated as children, when they
are addressed In Sissy" talk, when
they are pinched and rubbed on the
head. and called fine boys" The
average boy has no respect for tho
very good and sanity youth who
lisps and morallzes and deals out wise
remarks through 300 pages OF the Sun
day-school book. and who dies In the
last chapter to blue lights and slow
music. The average boy is lively and
cheerful and active. He wishes To he
treated more like a man than a child
He likes to talk With men on serious
subjects and In a serious manner. He
wants 70 learn how to become a man
as soon as possible. No matter what
political economists may say, healthy
and manly boy is the best Investment

ceit. When brought up in the right
