Sampson Unable to Gain Fall on
 Young Brewer.
 Pittsfield, Nov 8.-Paul Loft, the young German employe of the Berk- shire brewery, defeated Oscar Samp- son in a Graeco-Roman wrestling match at the Academy of Music last night by staying one hour and a half, the limit, without fall being secured by either man. Loft did de- fensive work from the start and was too strong for Sampson, easily breaking full Nelson holds several times. Sampson retaliated by pun ishing Loft severely in the stomach and face.
 The mat and both men were cov- cred with blood. At the finish of the match Loft was carried to his dressing room on the shoulders of his enthusiastic fellow workers. Loft weighs 195 pounds and Samp- son 165. The match was for a purse of Y100. Sampson was to throw Loft twice in 90, minutes. Victor Olsen refereed the match.

 The officials of the railroad com
 pany are contemplating the abandon
 ment of the passenger station in
 Depot square and the using of
 passenger car for a waiting room for
 the patrons of the road until such
 time as the new passenger station
 will be ready for use. It is thought
 now that this change will go into
 effect about the first of December.
 This move will mean that the office of the Adams Express company will
 be changed from it's present location in the Neary building to a place that
 will be convenient to where the ex- press matter is handled, and it likely that local agent Fiske will be busy for time devising ways to establish his temporary headquarters.
 The timely arrival of Officer Ma lone saved mans life. who had fallen into the Glove Co.'S raceway, near Maple street, about 7:30 o'clock last evening. The officer heard the cries and decided to in- vestigate, and when he reached the spot from where the cries came he saw a man struggling in the water The officer was assisted by Thomas Conroy in getting the man out of the water, and he was taken to the police station, where he was given a change of clothing. He said his name was John Sheldon, and that he was also G. A. R. man. He can thank his lucky stars that the officer happened along about that time or he would have been drowned.

Payino His Respects.

There are men In high positions In
New York who are a credit to them
only In their lsiness ability. One OF
that sort came to the city dozen OF
more years ago from a western town
where he made his start. A gentleman
who had known him In his less preten
tious days called on him recently.
II simply called to pay my respects
he said, going little lame at the re
ception he received. II have no axes
to grind and no favors to ask. You
may have forgotten me, but met you
several times on business visits to
your old town, and I thought I'd like
to see how you were taking to the
metropolis"
Eyes, yes" responded the man at
the desk. picking up a paper, as II be
were very busy and speaking In the
tone Of the person who sizes up other
people on their material possibilities.
And that's all he said. The visitor
shook himself and got fresh hold.
EYES," he said, turning to 90. 81
called to pay my respects, but I dis.
covered that I don't owe any. Good
morning"
Then he walked out, and the big
man had a more uncomfortable feeling
than had come to him since he had
been In the big city.-New York Press.

lsmaitrs's Debut.

Frederick Lemaitre, the famous
French comedian, who died In 1875,
began his stage career in humble
way. lie Gaulois tells the story Of his
first appearance, which was In the
theater Of the Varieties Amusantes.
Tall and athletically built, young Le-
maitre presented himself before the
director of the theater, who asked him
what especial roles he wished to play.
"Oh, I'm not particular" was the
cheerful reply.

"But-my part?"
"Oh, 1t will not take long to learn
that! You have strong lungs. Just
shout a bit and let me hear II you

Frederick Lemaitre gave ia roar
which shook the windows In their
easements.
"Splendid!' exclaimed the director
enthusiastically. "You will make a
magnificent lion."
"a lion?" repeated the astonished ap-
plicant.
"Why, yes, q lion. I predict certain
success for you, considering how you
can roar"
Two days later the young artist, en-
veloped in n magnificent lion skin,
made his debut on all tours in panto-

Barnyard Fowls Picnic

The Widow Duck accepted the invi-

the annual picnic Of the barnyard
fowls, and when the day arrived they
strutted down the road to the picnic
grounds and made very striking ap'
Dearance indeed. The widow had on
her bonnet dyed black, with the
strings tied in a graceful bow at hei
throat and the ends dangling down In
front. Mr.. Rooster wore the very latest
style Of clothes and high silk hat and
carried cane. They were much ad-
mired and felt quite proud Of them
selves.
But while they were all gathered
about the long table covers spread on
the grass and eating the good things
there the widow turned to the Brahmn
hen next to her and asked, "Will you
pass me an oyster sandwich"

Mr.. Rooster leaned over to see what

The widow caught him by the coat

In doing so upset the milk pitcher ovel

and watch the boys work." said Mr..
Milliken.
For three days Jim lolled 10 his seat
while the boys sawed, planned and ham
mered the raw material into all kinds OF
useful articles. During ell this time he
looked bored and unhappy, while the
rest of the boys were cheerful and gay.
On his fourth morning at tho school he
said, rather shamefacedly, 'Say, Mr..
Milliken, my mother says she'd like .

"You must find out tho measurements

When Jim returned to the work shop

and Jim's "sure" was certain; for to the

the work of four grades. Then his
mother moved away from the vicinity Of

unwilling to 60 to the regular grade

Ny own rules are:
One good picture Is better by far than

Of cheaper kind.
Be sure to have good books; when q
limited number only can be had choose
the standard authors, and have at least q
few shelves Of well.ohosen works. "a
