A Close Call.
BRYANT's POND BOY JUST MISSES
DROWNING.

BRYANT's POND, Dec. 4.
Hugh Farnum of this place, a boy
about Is years old, had a narrow escape
from drowning to-day when he broke
through the ice on the lake while skat-
ing. Had it not been for the quick wit
and the courage Of Edward beverley, the
boy would certainly have met his death.
Young Farnum had been skating with
number of other boys in the Cove"
and although warned against going out
on to the lake, failed TO heed the advice.
He and two others proceeded to the town
landing, where the ice is still thin. Just
before reaching il, the Farnum boy broke
in, and disappeared in about IL feet of
water.
By good luck he managed to grab the
edge of the ice and sustain himself, but
the other boys were unable to extricate
him. He was rapidly growing numb and
was about to let go and sink To the bot
tom, when Edward beverley, son of Dex-
ter beverley, the carriage maker, came
running TO the rescue. beverley had
hockey stick, and very courageously
venturing out on the thin ice, managed
10 get this stick under the boys arm.
Bidding him hang on tight, beverley
with great exertion dragged him out on
to the ice and thence on to the wharf.
The boy was almost unconscious when
rescued, aud could neither tell how the
acciden, had happened nor how long he
had been in the water. He was taken to
Gerry Wings house, and after vigorous
treatment regained his strength. 1t is
90 o., cay ha VI m ha Shv nf thp lake for
some time.
This makes the first of the expected
casualties in this vicinity. Parents
would de- well to keep their children off
the lake for tlfe present.

The message of President Roosevelt,
read to congress last Tuesday, is record
breaker in at least one respect. IL IS
even longer than any of his previous
messages and is by considerable the
longest presidents message ever written.
IL ia permissible without saying anything
even unkindly of our greatly admired
president to express the opinion tnat tue
number of words in it might be reduced
without injuring its sentiment or effec,-
iyeness. However, it, is all good read
inc. and we should be glad to publish It
IL there were room. As it would make
almost three entire pages Of the Demo.
GRAFT, it is imprscticable. A summary OF
the principal points of the message will
be found on the first and fourth pages oil
this paper.

The Congregational Fair.

Bright with pink streamers and masses
of evergreen, the vesiry of the Congre-
gstional church looked very attractive
as made ready for the uual fair held
Thursday and Friday. is was lively
place, too, both while the preparations
were going on and during the fair itself.
The ladies of that society are known as
good workers, and every department of
the fair was well manned, if that term
may be applied to force OF the gentler
sex.
Around the room were arranged an
apron table, white table, homemade
candy table and a popcorn stand, fancy
table, an art and miscellaneous table,
and food table The last named was
the first to go out of commission, its
contents being rapidly carried of,
though trade was good at all of them.
At table in one corner ico cream was
served, and in the opposite corner was
the post office. Here packages were de-
livered to all corners with entire i'm
Partially, aud with like impartiality five
cents postage due was collected on each
package.
Thursday evening selections were
pIdScu uuIluS tue Sdic Oy ou OiVuoStio
made up of the Misses Dean violin and
piano, Ralph B. Penfold cornet, and
Carl Mason clarionet. Their playing
was good, and received merited APP
plause.
Friday evening the fair closed with an
entertainment in the church the princi-
pal part of which was given by Miss
Frances C.. Norris, who is professor OF
Romance languages and dean for the
women in Bates College. Miss Norris
has an excellent voice for a reader, and
her manner is SO absolutely devoid of
artificiality that it is only by reflection
that her hearers realize the long and
drill through which she must
have gone. The programme which was
given in the Democrat last week may
have revealed that while she is entirely
at home with any sort of selection, her
speciality is dialect. Several readings
were given in the Negro dialect, others
in Irish, Scotch and German, and a
number eff miscellaneous selections. The |
dialect readings were particularly good |
Interspersed with the readings were
several musical numbers, including an
organ selection by Mrs. Briggs, and
songs by Miss Clark, Mrs. V. NJ. Whit |
man of NORWAY, and duet by Mrs. |
Whitman and Mr.. Penfold. All were of |
high merit and fully appreciated by the |
audience.
There was good house, and all were |
highly pleased with the entertainment.

THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.

10 spite of the fact that the word dys-
pepsia means literally bad cook, it will
not be fair for many to lay the blame on
the cook if they begin the Christmas
dinner with little appetite and end it
with distress or nausea. 1t may not be
fair for any to do that-let us hope so
for the sake Of the cook! The disease
dyspepsia indicates a bad stomach, that
is a weak stomach, rather than bad
cook, and for weak stomach there is
nothing else equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla.
It gives the stomach vigor and tone,
cures dyspepsia, creates appetite, and
makes eating the pleasure it should be.
