Queen Alexandria of England Is

credited with having been the means
of emancipating English and Ameri-
can children from many foolish and
uncomfortable fashions. At the time
of her marriage to the heir Of the Eng
fish throne, children in fashionable
families were rarely seen outside their
nurseries, but when the young Danish
princess began to keep her children
about her and to have her picture
taken holding them in her arms the
fashion changed and devoted mother
hood became the hallmark of Ameri-
can and English smartness. She also
had her sons clothed in comfortable
sailor suits and her two daughters.

Mrs. Arablne Abbott.

Mrs. Arabine, widow Of the late VIII
liam G. Abbott, Of Sumner, departed
this life on her sixty.ifth birthday,
March 1s, after . brief illness Of pneu.
monia. Mrs. Abbott was born ip Sum.
ner, the daughter of Willard and Bethiah
(Rowe) Doble. When quite young she
was united In marriage with William G..
Abbott, who died Eve years ago. Eleven
children blessed this union. nine Of
whom are living. They are: Albion L.,
Paris, Carl M. Sumner, Walter W.,
Rhode Island, Everett A., South Paris,
Mrs. Anna B. Glover, North Abingdon,
Mrs. Effie l.. Bonney, Mrs. Cora A. Tib-
belts, Mrs Lettie B. Ford and Mrs. Hat
tie F. Curtis, Sumner. The deceased Is
also survived by fifteen grandchildren
and one sister, Mrs. Kilborn P. Bowker,
and ono brother, Abraham Doble of
South Paris.
Mrs. Abbott was a member of Union
Grange and VIM. A. Barrows w. R.
Corps, from which she will be sadly
missed. She had filled several impor-
tant offices In the latter organization,
and was president at the time OF her
death. Although not a church member
she was firm believer in Universalism,
and by her Christian life showed that
she was following the Master. She was
one of whom 1t can be truly said, her
lips were FREQ from guile. As someone
remarked, she was never known to
speak i'll of anyone. She had gentle,
sunny nature and was great favorite
wherever she went. No one was ever
moro sincerely mourned and her menu
ory will ever be fresh and green In the
hearts of her relatives aud friends.
The funeral was held at the old home
stead, where her son Carl lives, with
whom she was living at the time of her
death. Rev. j. II. Little of South Paris
was the officiating clergyman. All her
children were present with one excep-
tion. Mrs. Effie Bonney, whose health
would not permit. The W. r. Corps
performed the burial rite, and the
Grangers attended in q, body. The
floral offerings were abundant and beau
tiful. Interment was In Black Mountain
Cemetery beside her husband and chill
dren. "Blessed are the dead that die in
the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the
Spirit, that they may rest from their
labors, an6 their works do follow them"

For Best Acre Of Potatoes.
A PRIZE FOR PARIS FARMERS WORTH
THEIR ENDEAvoR.

Last fall there was shipped from South
Paris one carload of potatoes raised on
one farm. This statement should re-
ceive more than a passing notice; first,
because it is the only carload lot ship
ped from this place by the raiser In
more than ten years, end second, be-
cause several hundred carloads should
be shipped each year. We have fine
soil for this purpose and much better
transportation facilities and much lower
transportation rates than the Aroostook
farmers.
The potatoes above mentioned brought
seventy cents a bushel at the depot. As
three hundred bushels were raised on q
single acre, the crop was o very profit.
able one. Such crops mean greater
prosperity, more money brought into
town and q greater increase in farm
values.
Through the liberality Of friend who
desires to encourage potato raising IN
the town Of Paris, The Oxford Democrat
will offer three prizes, first OF twenty
five dollars, q second of twenty dollars
and third of fifteen dollars to the ones
raising the three largest number OF
bushels Of salable potatoes on single
acre of land in the town of Paris In the
year 1909. This sffer is open to all, but
the names of those intending to com
pete must be sent to the Democrat before
June 10th next.
The land and potatoes will be measur.
ed under the direction of some one ap
pointed by the Oxford Democrat. II
the fall full description of the methods
used and the results obtained BY th'
successful competitors will be published
It is hoped that large number vii
enter into this contest aud show wha
can be done in Oxford County by th'
use Of modern methods in raising pota

Here and There.

In the interest of English pure and un-
deflled, 1t is time that voice OF protest
was raised against that abomination now
80 frequently perpetrated, the double use
of the conjunctive that, as In the follow
ing sentence, where the italics are ours,
for the purpose of illustration solely:
"Prince Albene then said that when he grasped
Jerry's hand the frat time he was In the store
that he got the impression where the cigar was
hidden"
A dozen times In almost every issue Of
one daily paper that comes to the Demo
crat Office, that same thing shows up,
and it is frequently found in other
periodicals. Only q short time since the
same thing was noted in editorial matter
In magazine bearing the somewhat ar
rogant title, "Good English: A Magazine
for Cultured People" 1t is possibly
unnecessary to state that this magazine
Is published in Chicago, the only city in
this country where people have to adver'
tise the fact of their culture. Joking
aside, this magazine is as rule true to
it's name, and an authority in the use OF
English, and such bad sentence in 1t ID
an indication of the force and extent OF
the bad habit into which writers are fall
ing. The abomination may yet get as
| firm hold as has the use of like for as,
| which Is almost universal in the South
and West, and occasionally bobs up In
New England, though We are glad to say
it Is generally an importation.

should be located below the hill. 1t may
not be practicable to organize the com.
pany until this change is made.

1t was expected that at this meeting
the contract would be awarded for the
building of the addition to the court
house, to contain library room, Jail
kitchen, and other necessary rooms.
Owing to the death of George NJ.
Coombs, of the firm of Coombs & Gibbs,
architects, of Lewiston, who had pre-
pared the plans for the addition, no
architect from the firm could be here,
and the award was deferred until later
date. Several bids for the work have
been received. George NJ. Coombs was
the architect of the court house when
that was built in 1895.
The commissioners have placed an
order for steel shelving for all the vaults
at the court house, to take the place of
the wooden shelving now in use there.
