WiIkin County, Mimi.

GAINESVILLE, Mimi. Oct IA prairie
fire is devastating thu northeastern part
of WiIkfn county, Mimi. and three farms
have already been wiped out. The dam
age thus far is estimated at $4,000.
The fire was started yesterday after
noon on the farm Of Charles FundOek, by
a boy who was playing with matches. All
the buildings on that farm were soon de-
stroyed.
Thus far efforts to check the progress
of the fire have been unavailing, but all
the farmers IN the vicinity are blowing

A Brief Visit from Gipsies.

A very brief visit it was, before the
tourists, by special request, folded their
tents and drove out of town.
They struck into South Paris from
northerly direction in the latter part OF
the forenoon Saturday, and camped by
the sand bank just over the Park Street
bridge. There were four double teams,
and the number of people were variously
reported at from thirty to forty. Prob
ably twenty would be nearer.
And they were genuine GipSies, no
poor white trash imitation. The deep
swarthy compilations, the secondhand
horses and wagons, the CANDY colored
costumes, the layer of dirt which over
spread the whole outfit, and the thievish
tricks of the people, all testified that
they were the real thing, as exact in
every detail as they could have been
made TO appear on the stage.
But their thievish propensities were
their undoing. Soon after their arrival
a number of the women invaded the vii
lage and picked up few small sums
telling fortunes. One of them persuaded
a citizen, in order to help on the fortune
telling, to place his pocket book in her
hands, he keeping watch of it all the
time. After she had finished and given
him back the pocket book, he counted
the money it contained and found it was
five dollars short. He secured Jailer
Farrar and promptly looked the woman
M. She was voluble and defiant in
broken English, but finally returned the
money and was allowed to go.
The band was then notified to move
on, and early in the afternoon the caval,
cade moved out of town toward the
south The visit was not an unmixed
evil, for they furnished an hours diver
sion to the populace.

Base BAH.
p H. 5; LISBON FALLS H $. 8.

n. D, LISBON FALLS Fl s. b.
Paris High School closed its base bal
season Saturday afternoon with victory
by defeating Lisbon Falls High School
team in the first game that teams repre-.
senting these schools have ever played
together. The game although loosely
played was closely contested and in
teresting.
L. Clark pitched the game for Paris
and did fine work. With better support
he could have shut out the Lisbon boys.
They were able to find him for only
three hits, while he made ten of them
fan the air. He did not give base on
balls, but did bit two batters. Winslow,
the Lisbon pitcher, also did we'll, being
especially effective when Paris had men
on bases. He did not have as good con-
troll as Clark, and like Clark suffered by
poor support. IF the errors of the game
were cut out, Paris would have won BY
a score of 2 too.
Captain Titcomb was sick and in. no
condition to play, but there was no SUBJ
stitute available, as Paris was already
playing two substitutes. As it often
happens, large part of the ground balls
went to him and he lost four chances
which he would have easily handled If
he had been in his usual condition.
The features of the game we're catch
of foul fly by q. Clark and the catch of
a line drive by beverley. In the second
inning L. Clark retired all three of the
LisbOn batters on strikes, and Winslow
did the same thing to the Paris batters
in the eighth inning.
G. Clark led the Paris team at the bat
with three-base-hit and single. He
also played fine game behind the bat,
and has developed into as good a catcher
as is often found on high school team.
The score:

Johns Letter.

Miss Jennie B.: Have you ever seen
it stated in any chicken literature that
cracked cobs are the correct diet for
chicks? If you would like to try the
same, and are troubled to get the same
right around home, you may order from
Buckfield. Warranted pure or money
refunded. 1t seems that those honest
western farmers are selling cobs at re-
munerative prices. We would not
recommend cobs as steady diet for
anything that wears feathers, hair or
wool, but it might answer for dessert
now and then.
What a surprisingly cheap estimate
some people place upon themselves,
selling out the whole thing and taking
their pay in cobs or other worthless
truck. However, let man cheaper him
self as he can and may aud oftentimes
does, it is extremely doubtful if he can
possibly make himself valueless to the

gave him a life that shall run parallel

Bad Fire at Bryaut's Pond.
GLEN MOUNTAIN HOUSE AND STEPHENS
PROPERTY BURNED.

For the second time within a few
weeks the village Of Bryant's Pond
suffered bad fire Sunday night, when
the Glen Mountain House, the only hotel
in the place, the store, stable and dwell
ing house of George L. Stephens, and
another small house belonging to Mr..
Stephens, were entirely destroyed.
The fire started from some unknown
cause in the interior of the hotel, and
had got under considerable Roadway be-
fore it was discovered about midnight.
Bryant's Pond has no organized fire pro-
lection, though the town of Woodstock
has just, voted, at a special meeting, an
appropriation to provide fire protection
for the village.
The hotel was situated In the middle
of the village, with other buildings near
it on both sides. When the magnitude
of the fire was seen, help was summoned
from Norway and Locke's Mills. The
hand engine from Norway and about
fifty men went up on a Especial, drawn
by the Norway engine, and the Locke's
Mills engine and firemen, coming over
the road, arrived at the same time.
The aid given by the engines and
accompanying men stopped the progress
of the flames, and undoubtedly saved
much property. The buildings burned
were the Glen Mountain House and
stable, the store, stable and dwelling
house of George l.. Stephens, standing
next to the hotel on the south, and an
other small dwelling house belonging to
Mr.. Stephens, standing next his resi-
dence.
The Glen Mountain House was owned
by Irving S. Thompson and Mary S.
Thompson, his wife, and was insured for
$1,000 on building, furniture and con-
tents. Mr.. Stephens had total of
s1700 insurance on his property. The
total loss by the fire is estimated to
reach at least ten thousand dollars.
The Glen Mountain House was one of
the best known hotels in the vicinity, as
it not only accommodated the ordinary
transient travel, but had large number
of summer guests every year, and was'a
stopping point for much of the trav
from Rumford Falls over the Grand
Trunk, people making the trip by stage
from Rumford Falls to the Pond.
1t is only few weeks since the clothes
pin factory of l.. M. Mann & Son at the
Pond was burned, which will not be re-
built, and this seco nd blow is hard one
for the place.

The Firemen's Drills.

Considerable interest was manifested
in the practice drills of the firemen last
week, which took the form of calling
out one company at time by sounding
an alarm. The alarm was given by the
toy shop whistle, which there is no
difficu lty in hearing. The village is
divided into five districts, as named last
week, with a hose company in each dis
trict. When the whistle was blown, the
company in that district was to respond.
The first alarm was given Monday
evening soon after O'Clock, and called
out the company near the fair grounds.
They ran out their hose carriage, coup
led to the nearest hydrant, laid 100 feet of
hose, and put on water, their time from
the first blast of the whistle being so l-2
seconds.
Two more companies and the hook
and ladder company were called out
Tuesday night, and the two remaining
hose companies Thursday night. All
made slower time except the company
in District No. 4. east of the river. The
hydrant is very near their house, and
the men being on hand made their time
81 seconds. The rivalry for record
was pretty sharp, and while it is not
thought 10 be true that any of the men
slept in the hose house, it is said to be a
fact that several men of one company
spent their evenings just outside the
door, while at one hose house, although
there was not man in sight, the doors
flew open at the first blast of the
whistle.
Thursday evening the old hand engine,
"Pacific," was tested in Market Square.
The tub, which has done some very good
service on several occasions, has had
pretty hard luck during the past year,
and il continued this time. First the
engine was tried out easily, 80 as to
show that it was in working condition,
and then preparations were made to see
what it would do. With the brakes full
of men, Rod Hall mounted the machine
and gave the familiar order, down

scattering everybody near by, and bring
ing the trial to a sudden stop.
On Friday the engine was put in Or
der, and that evening it was given an
other test. This time it worked to the
satisfaction of everybody, aud stream
was thrown some distance above the
roof of Pythian Block with it.

LIFE.


The poets exclamation: 20 Life! l
feel thee bounding in my VEINS" is q
Joyous one. Persons that can rarely or
never make it, in honesty TO themselves
are among the most unfortunate. They
do not live, but exist; for to live implies
more than to be. To live is to be well
and strong -to arise feeling equal to the
ordinary duties of the day, and to retire
not overcome by them-to feel life
bounding In the veins. A medicine that
has made thousands of people, men and
women, we'll and strong, has accomplish
ed great work, bestowing the richest
blessings, and that medicine lis Hoods
Ssrsaparilla. The weak, rundown, or
debilitated, from any cause, should not
fail to take 1t. 1t builds up the whole
system, changes existence into life, and
makes life more abounding. We are
glad to say these words in its favor to
the readers of our columns.

West Paris lost their game to Sonth
Paris Saturday afternoon by the above
score. Although the final score was
rather one-sided, up to the sixth inning
the score was one to one and the game
an interesting one to watch. 1t was in
the eighth inning that West Paris went
to pieces and allowed the opposing team
to get six scores on four hits and some
costly errors.
