One Year Ago
and Today

One year ago Lewiston was
in the hands of a gigantic. dry
goods trust. There was no
such thing as competition peace
and tranquility, and 100 per
cent were travelling hand in
hand. And the trade that
rightly belonged to Lewiston
went elsewhere. For the news
had gone abroad that the trust
agreed on thread, on prints, on
cotton, in fact on all staples.

You are buying merchandise
for less than ever known in
Lewiston. And when you stop
to consider that we all and
other merchants are paying
about 20 per cent more. "You
ask the reason why?"
It's competition. Blake has
brought prices down. People
are coming miles to trade in
Lewiston. Our business has
grown by leaps and bounds.
"All eyes are on this store %
Competitors claim "and we
we have no reason to doubt
their statements" that their
business is double, triple, etc.

termed a public benefactor,

FIRST VISIT TO THE COUNTRY.
Humorous Comment Made by Little
 Visitors from the City.

The questions and answers of little boys and girls upon their first visit to the country are often truly amusing. One little boy from the city slums was, with great difficulty, coaxed to go. He said he heard there were "thrashing machines" in the country, and be didn't want to go there to be thrashed. The same little boy. when asked why the chickens interested him so great ly. replied. I've only seen them that's been peeled in the city, Another lit. tic boy once went to the country on . visit. Seeing his aunt plucking the feathers from . chicken that evening. he asked: "Auntis. do you undrsss all the chickens before putting them to bed?" The cows were favoritss with Lottis, little girl of eight She begged to bs permitted to milk, and, finding herself rather unsuccessful, thought she'd better begin on a calf first" Lottie also wanted to know if you had to buy gum for the cows to chew on and whether the milk that came from a separator was the same that came from the cows. She thought it was SO funny, too, that "all hens ate with their noses"

THE HANDING OF A LEMON.

In the room occupied by the grad. uat'ng class of public school in one of the uptown districts of New York, an incident occurred which caused a great deal of amusement among the pupils. As Thanksgiy. ing day was near at hand, 1t was customary that Miss N, the teacher, in giving series of les sons on object drawing, should ask her pupils to bring fruits, vases and other things to assist in the lesson.
 The following day, when Miss N called her class for the "ob- jects," any number of vases, cups and pitchers were forthcoming.
 Didn't any one bring fruit of any kind?" inquired the teacher.
 "I didp cried voice in the cen ter of the rooom.
 Miss N walked toward the pupil, holding out her hand
 Withdrawing her own hand from the recesses of her desk, the pupil who had responded extended grave ly toward Miss NJ lemon.

BEES MARK MANS COMING.
Wild cnes All Descended from Those <. Once DomestIcsted.


 All the honey bees in this country having originally been imported from Europe or Aisa, there ia no racial diff ference between the wild oaea and the domesticated; those that live iH trees are simply the descendants of those that from time to time have taken French leave" from their owners Hives and reverted to . state of na- turs. The vast bulk of the wild bees are of the German or black race, while tho standard domssticatsd bee is the Italian; but that, however, is only be- cause the Germans were the first to De introduced here. Just when the Germans came is in doubt, but 1t was some time In the seventeenth csntu- ry; certainly 1t was not until near the close of the eighteenth century that any bees were found west of the Mississippi The Indians used to say they could mark the advance of the white man by the appearance of bees in the woods. The Italian bees were first imported in 1sso Better temper ed and more industrious than the Ger mans, they have become popular with apiraists: but as many still keep the German bee. and others have the by. brid formed by the crossing of the two races, while countless Italians now have taken to the woods. there to breed more hybrids, 1t is clear that there is no sure way of distinguishing between the wild bee and the domesti. satsd.-Outing Magazine.
