A South Paris man had narrow
escape recently, for which he is truly
thankful. He had sent his watch by
express to his brother for certain re-
pairs, and shortly before Christmas 1t
was returned in the same box in which
it was sent. He unwrapped the box,
set it on the table, and took out the
watch, which was all right. Later be
started to throw the box in the stove,
and thinking that the cotton used Tor
packing would be handy for cleaning his
gun. he took out layer of it, and be-
hold, there lay a handsome new gold
watch, which his brother had sent him
as a Christmas present. Wouldn't that
make you shiver?
Eight members of the Fan-Tan Club
took a sleigh ride Thursday afternoon,
and made surprise party visit to Miss
Ruth Tucker at West Paris, who for
merly resided here and is a member of
the club in good standing. The party's
movements were duly heralded by
the OuSleT, Vol chcSt'oiy, o'oh euOuSh
the bugle was a tin horn. At the Tucker
home, where they arrived about $3.50,
an oyster supper was served, and the
Fan-Tans, as their custom is, made
things lively for the evening. 1t was a
late hour when the team was brought to
the door, and it is said that it was a
much later hour when 1t arrived at
South Paris. But of the wanderings on
unknown roads the Democrat knoweth
not the particulars, nor does it know
whether the joke is on the driver or the
Fan-Tans.
