SOUVENIR SAMPLES TO LADIES

years Mr.. Gray was in business with
Shepard Cary one of HoultOns fin st bus
mess men, In 1863 he went to work for
the Twitchell-Champlln Co. OF Portland,
and was in their employ for Il years, af-
ter which he became 4 partner of the
company. Five years ago he was obliged
to retire on account of his health. One
son, George, survives.
William Chaplin was arraigned Wedncs-
day before Judge Chapman at Bangor on
the charge of Illegally depositing liquor.
He was found guilty and was ordered to
Fay a fine of 500 and costs or serve 60
days in Jail. He appealed and furnished
bonds William f. Newman was fined
800 and costs on search and seizure
charge, but appealed. Peter F'laherty
was arraigned on the charge Of maintain
ing a gambling resort. He was adiudged
guilty and paid a fine of S. and costs. He
was also arraigned upon u search and
seizure charge and paid fine of 800 and
costs. Both cases resulted from the big
raid made by the deputies ON the Pc
nobsCot Club.
The largest seizure of short Holsters
ever made in Sagadahoc county was made
Thursday forenoon by Warden Hanna of
Lincoln county, ]. w. Rawley of Knox
county and Warden Charles A. Fossett of
Lincoln. The officers caught Jerry Muir
ply of Malaga island with 4o2 short lob
sters in his possession. This is said to b,
the first time for long period that Muir
ply has handled shorts and it was an I'M
lucky trip for him. 1t is said that the
Holsters were intended for the circus
crowd in Bath but they failed to reach
the city. Warden Hanna trapped Muir
ply by strategy, leaving Murphy's terri
tory yesterday afternoon and presumably
starting for home. Instead he came
around to the Kennebec and stopped here
over night, going TO the New Meadows
river this morning and capturing Jerry
with the Holsters in his power dory.-Bath

went, leaving Mr.. Robertson alone with
the body Of his wife.
For nearly two hours he sat beside her
coffin while the greatest excitement reign

was tolling. Heat from the fire became
SO intense that 1t was necessary to close
the church doors At every moment Mr.
Robertson expected to be notified the
church was afire.
The bearers were Howard Slauenwhite,
Willard Day, Harold Flanders and
Charles Whetstein. Rev. Mr.. Woodman
was the pastor. These men although
dressed in their Sunday best were fore
most among the fire fighters.
After the fire was under control the
mourners. bearers, clergyman and friends
sadly returned to the church. There they
found Mr.. Robertson with his head bow
ed on the casket.
When the little band of mourners left
the church on their way to the grave the
Lewiston firemen who happened TO be on
the route of procession removed their hats
while the hearse passed.
1t was one of the saddest and NEST I'M
usual funerals ever held in Maine.

make such ravages on the fresh young
vegetables, and the worms, slugs and

has full liberty. In the kitchen and

We have all read that in South
America and Africa cocoanuts are Sc
cured by men who go into the forests
and throw stones at the monkeys in
the trees. The monkeys get mad and
pick the nuts and hurl them down.
We are now told that nothing of the
sort ever occurs. The cocoanuts are
got by men climbing the trees and
the men may be in the forest for days
and not see a monkey. About the
only thing we a believe about the
monkey is that he is a great Joker

The Essence Of Dizziness.

1t is true, no doubt, that many learn.
ed people are dull; but there is no To-
dication whatever that they are dull
because they are learned. True dull
ness is seldom acquired; it is a naiar
al grace, the manifestations Of which
however modified by education, re
main in substance the same. Fill a
dull man to the brim with knowledge
and he will not become less dull, as
the enthusiasts for education vainly
imagine; but neither will he become
duller. He will remain in essence what
he always has been and always must
have been. But whereas his dullness
would, If left to itself, have been
merely vacuous. it may have become
under careful cultivation, pretentious
and administration.
