which time no trace of the man or out
fit has been found.
The next horse to be stolen was the
property of Mr.. Moore, the rural de-
liyery carrier on route 32 The horse
taken from Mr. Moore was a valuable
work horse which he had recently
bought and the theft took place in the
dead of night. Subsequently the team
| was found in Poland and the man who
took it was arrested, tried, and con-
victed for the offence.
The third attempt at horse stealing
was made early Saturday morning at
the home of Mrs. Evelyn Sanborn, who
lives in Readfield on the Winthrop
road near the town farm.
Mrs Sanborn keeps a large watch
dog confined in the shed. About !
o'clock she was awakened by the
furious barking Of the dog. Mrs. San
born listened to ascertain the cause
when she heard the rattle of wagon
wheels apparently driving out of her
door yard Stepping to the window
and pulling aside the curtain, she saw
in the bright moonlight team driving
up the road towards Mr.. Wells. near
neighbor. Mrs Sanborn 1elt sure it
was her own team and calling the hired
man, they went to the stable to inves-
tigate only to find the stable door open
and both horses gone.
A glance into the field revealed one
| of her horses quietly grazing. The
hired man caught the horse. slipped on
the bride and taking his rifle. jumped
upon the horse and started in pursuit
of the thieves.
Mrs. Sanborn Immediately telephon-
ed Deputy Sheriff Brown and Mr..
Brown at once got busy with the phone
in an attempt to raise some one to head
off the thieves, or ascertain where they
were going. Meanwhile the hired man

when the thieves saw him and the rifle

by the man and returned to the owners

Germany brought him for the first
time under the notice Of the emperor,
and after four years service in a mi
nor position in London he was trans

diplomatic service as a stepping stone
to one Of the greater a~mbassadorial

President Elect Taft's possible pat
ronage will amount to more than 500
offices, including only those classed as
presidential" This army, composed
solely of officials, equals the combined
force Of officers, clerks and other sub
ordinates drawing government salaries
under President Monroe. These "pres-
idential" offices have more than dou-
bled since Cleveland first entered the
White House. Since then two new
departments have been added, also
many new bureaus and such great un-
~dertakings as the digging Of the Pan
anna canal and the administration Of
insular possessions.
Mr.. Taft cannot independently ap-
point these officials. He merely can
nominate them. Under the first article
Of the constitution senators are part
OF the appointing power, and an ap-
pointment to a presidential" office
under Mr. Taft will represent an agree
nent between him and the upper
house OF congress. Appointees Of this
class will not receive their commits

giving $4,000 free breakfasts to men
who. were down and out, and giving
hundreds fresh start in life, was

rate a campaign for new rescue mis-

''The Moody church, said D1.
Dixon, gave thousands OF free break
fasts TO sober unemployed men. We
found some strange eases in that list
of down and outs. We found a pro-
lessor OF Greek in a western college
We found the lost son of n California

we were forced to stop, because this
work would not mix with the other
