ton with a breakdown OF an automo-
bile was seen III Saco one evening last
week when an auto party returned 70

Orchard and had to be towed back to
town by an accommodating farmer
who turned out with a one-horse tip
cart, to the rear of which the disabled
auto was hitched and toted to the re-
pair shop The funny part OF
the incident was the manner in which
the autoists rode into town. The party
consisted Of a young man and woman
and for their accommodation two up
holstcred parlor chairs were placed IN
the tip cart, which was good clean
looking rigging and sitting side by side
in these the young man ana woman

-ZAHNER

The following article is taken
from the North Adams Mass. }
HeraM of Wednesday, November

to witness the marriage of Miss
Louise Reynolds, daughter of Rev.
DR.. and Mrs. Louis Zahner, to At
torney Fred r. Shaw, the cere-
mony being performed by the faith
er of the bride. The ceremony was
OF the simplest description there
being no attendants. After the
marriage the bridal party adjourn
ed to the home of the brides par
ents when a wedding breakfast was
served. They then left on an ex-
tended bridal tour through Canada
and the west. The bride is pop
ular young lady of Adams, and is

MONEY CAN'T BUY 1T.

Riches do not always inspire re-
spect. John d. Rockefeller is esti-
mated to be worth one thousand
millions of dollars, and yet no man
in this country, and possibly in the
world, is made the subject of ridi'
cule and caricature as much as he
is. His bald head, his wig, his
weak stomach and many other of his
peculiar features are made the sub
iect of attack. Even when he says
he has given up the pursuit of mon
ey, and now belongs to the brother
hood of man." his remark is scoffed
at, and the sincerity of his "broth-
erhood" pretensions is doubted.
However, a man with his mil
lions can afford to be laughed at,
it is probable that ne
would be willing to part with some
of his wealth if he could purchase
the esteem and respect and conf
dence of his fellow-nen.

Save All the Manure Possible

Keep the stable lot well Uttered
