SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

Fire early Friday morning destroyed
the stable belonging to John bennett
house on Gage street, Bridgton, cause un.
known. A horse in the stable was res
cued and the wagons We're saved. Ralph
Dodge occupied the lower rent with his
family, and Herbert F. Parker and family
occupied the upper rent. The loss will be
considerable. Two pianos were consum-
ed, besides other furniture.
The house of Calvin Cummings at Al
bany was burned between / and O'Clock
Wednesday afternoon. Mrs. Cummings
was alone and the only thing she was
able to save was the monograph and
most of the records, which happened to
be near the door. The neighbors went
to her aid but could not get near the
house on account of the heat. The stable
was saved, as the wind was not that way.
There was no insurance. They think the
fire caught around the chimney, as the
upper part of the house was in flames
when Mrs. Cummings discovered the fire.

HIS LEGAL AUTHORITY.
1t Seemed to Fit the Case, and joey
Was Discharged.

There was CONSERVATION among the
young folk. The music for the dane
ing at the picnic in the glen had got
into trouble No one ever considered
any other music" but Joey the fiddler
He was Indispensable, but he was also
cratic. In the old country Joey had
been a schoolteacher and a man of
considerable learning, but here he had
fallen into evil ways. He was over
fond of two things-a bottle and an
argument. Having become engaged in
the latter on this day of the picnic, he
broke the former over the head Of his
opponent and was hauled away to the
lookup. The young people called a
hasty meeting and appointed a COM
mittee to wait upon Squire Nugent to
secure the release of the music If
possible. The squire was hearing
Joey's case when the committee ar
rived The spokesman respectfully ex-
planned the absolute necessity of Joey s
presence at the picnic that day.

,lawbook and began thoughtfully to

fleets great credit upon the president of
the circle, Mrs. Henry B. Lawrence,
and the chairman of the committee,
Mrs. A. b. Libby. The fancy and do
nestle tables were presided over by
Mrs. Melvin Spencer and Mrs Ed.
Smith. These tables were prettily dec
grated in green and white. The apron
table was draped with American flags
and streamcrs of the National colors.
Mrs. Will Haley was chairman of the
committee The food table was presid-
ed over by Mrs Harry Wight. 1t was
uniquely decorated with blue crepe
paper and ears of yellow corn The
