Resolutions.


SOUTH PARIS, MAINE, July II, 1900.
Again the reaper has put forth his
sickle in our midst, and, as shock of
corn fully ripe for the harvest, has gar
nered an aged and respected member of
our order to his eternal rest.
And whereas, Brother Porter was q
charter member of this grange, and was
for many years closely identified With
the work of the order, and in later years
still maintained his standing, and attend
ed its meetings when circumstances
would admit, 1t is meet that tribute be
offered to bis memory; therefore,
Resolved, That in the death OF Frank
lin Porter Paris Grange has lost worthy
and respected brother; the family kind
and devoted husband and father; and
the community an honorable and upright
citizen; and further,
Resolved, That while We as frater-
nifty mourn the loss of our brother, we
realize the deeper grief of those to whom
he was nearer and desrer, and would ex-
tend our most sincere sympathy to the
family of our deceased brother, especially
the aged widow in her bereavement, and
may the sweet memories of his loving
kindness and devotion through all the
long years OF their welded life bring
peace and comfort to her saddened heart.
Resolved, That in token Of our respect
our charter and altar be draped for the
space of thirty days; that these resolu.
tions be placed within our records, q
copy be sent to the family, also to the
Oxford Democrat for publication.

On a $4,000 Mile Hike.

A real globe-trotter went through
South Paris Wednesday afternoon in the
person of Joseph Mikulec, young Aus
trian who is taking 25, 900 mile walk
around the earth.
Mikulec left his home in Agram, Hun
gary, on the 9Th Of February, 1906, trav-
cling through southern Europe and
Africa, thence to South America and
through Mexico to the United States,
quite a part of which he has already
traversed He came here from Augusta,
where he went to secure the signature OF
Governor Fernald in the book which be
carries. From here he goes to Vermont,
thence through Canada to the Pacific
coast, where he will take steamer for
Manchuria and tramp across Asia and
Europe to his home.
He is taking this trip on what is prac-
tically a wager of $40, 900 for an Austrian
publishing house. He has five years in
which to complete the trip. At present
he has travelled about 500 miles, is GOO
miles ahead of his schedule, and has still
eighteen months in which to make the
rest of the trip.
Mikulec is 81 years of age. He weighs
now about 1856, and says this is about
forty pounds less than he weighed when
he started out, but he is in excellent con
dition and has good prospect of finish
ing inside the schedule. He has worn
out forty pairs of shoes.
He started out without money and ID
not allowed to beg, but sells post cards
with pictures of himself to pay expenses
1t is unnecessary to say that when be
sells you post card and you may pay
him something or nothing for it, that
is not begging.

LIFE 1OO,O 900 YEARS AGO.

Scientists have found in cave In
Switzerland bones of men, who lived
100, 900 years ago, when life was In con-
slant danger from wild beasts. To-day
the danger, as shown by A. w. Brown
of Alexander, Me-, Is largely from dead
" disease. "If It had not been for DR..
Kings New Discovery which cured me,
l could not have lived" he writes, "suf'
fering as did from severe lung troub'

A Show that Tours by Gasoline Train

Linn's dog show, Il. II. Linn owner
showed under canvas on w. II. Blake's
lot near the depot, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday nights of last week. At a
low price they give good show, includ.
ing musical comedies, moving pictures
and illustrated songs, and the trick dogs,
the last named feature being something
which does not fail to appeal to both old
and young. The little dogs when on the
street are always followed by crowd OF
the young folks, and in the tent they are
received with the same enthusiastic ia
vor. There were good crowds at all
performances.
Linn and his show are not strangers in
this part of the country, having been in
the vicinity a number of times before.
The manner of their coming and going,
however, is something that would have
astonished the natives-any natives
twenty-five years ago. The principal
feature of the caravan is car about the
size of trolley car. This has room in
front for the driver, and the rest of the
car is a room in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Linu1ive, and where the meals are fur
nished for all connected with the show.

power, four-cylinder gasoline motor.
There are two pairs OF ordinary heavy
wheels in front, the front pair being used
for steering. Under the rear of the Car
is one of the trucks such as are used in
the Lombard steam log hauler, man
ufac,ured at Waterville. The bearing
surface on each side of the truck is sort
of endless chain about fifteen inches
wide, four feet and half of which is on
the ground at one time. Inside this
chain sprocket wheels work, to which
the power is applied.
Back of the car are attached, tandem,
four ordinary heavy wagons, loaded with
the varied impedimenta of the concern
When the whole outfit is chugging its
way along the highway, it makes more
tremendous spectacle than would the
historic first railroad train in America,
| If we could see that cavorting along the
public road.
A dynamo under the car, run by the
motor, makes electric light for the even.
ing performances.
The weight Of the car Is about six tons,
and when the trailers are hitched on, the
whole outfit weighs about fifteen tons.
Naturally it is geared low and strikes a
slow gait; still, it came from Buck6eld
to South Paris, up over the steep bills Of
the Streaked Mountain ridge, with only
one stop. One plank culvert and two
stone culverts were crushed in by 1t, and
one bridge was thought to be shaky, but
stood the strain all right.
From here the show goes to Norway
Oxford. Mechanic Falls and Lewiston.

A Pleasant Reunion.

One OF the pleasantest times enjoyed
In South Paris for long while was the
picnic held In Briggs grove on Pine
Street last Tuesday afternoon in honor
of Mrs. Swift and Mrs. Ripley.
The party commenced to gather about
II O'Clock in the afternoon, and kept
going and coming until supper time. II
was made up of old schoolmates, rela-
tives and acquaintances of the ladies.
Hammocks were stretched, there were
plenty of chairs for every one, and a
pleasant, social afternoon was spent.
Pictures of the party were taken by Mrs.
Swift and Mrs. Edgerley.
Tables were set in the grove. Each
table was decorated with bouquet of
very handsome flowers, and with the
abundance of food on them, they pre-
sented very inviting appearance. Sup
per was served at just six o'clock, and
consisted of beans, hot rolls, cold meat,
salads, cucumbers, lettuce, whipped
cream pie, custard pie, all kinds Of cake,
ice cream, bananas, coffee, etc. A sup
per fit for king, and all did ample
justice to it. Music was furnished on
the graphophone all through supper and
a. iutCk 'aio euO oASotuoou W MO
Andrews, which was very much appre-
ciated.
A few after supper toasts were called
for, but all were too full to respond, so
the supper was closed by singing several
old familiar tunes.
The committee who had the affair in
charge, Mrs. Agnes Morton, Mrs. Cora
Briggs, Mrs. Clara Whittle, Misses Hat
tie Burnell and Carrie Hall, have the
sincere thanks of all present for the hap
Ply afternoon spent, and the hard work
they put into it.
Over fifty invitations were issued, and
over forty responded, besides few
children. Out of town guests were:
Mrs. Swift, Minneapolis; Mrs. Ripley,
Oklahoma; Mrs. Richardson, Minneapo-
lis: Mrs. Sanborn, Orange, Mass.
Before the party separated there was
call to see how many grandmothers there
were in the party and there proved to be
three.
The happy afternoon ended and about
all were vending their way to their diff
ferent abodes just before the clock
struck eight-hoping that it would not
be many years before they would all en-
ioy another such pleasant time.

As regards the article relating to the
vote on the Bolster school, IL may DC
said that this was inserted by request OF
the school committee, as they found by
an actual canvass Of the school district
that only one family desired to have
school maintained there, all the others
preferring to have their scholars attend
the village schools as now. Under those
circumstances 1t seems poor policy to
expend the amount necessary for repairs
on the school house.
