HOBBLE SKIRT MAIDEN
FALLS ON MAIN STREET.

Following the styles and going to
the extremes with them might have
proved serious for a very stylishly
hobble skirted female on Saturday
afternoon at Ninth and Main streets
when the hobble became entangled
about her knees and she fell.
Two gallant young men who saw
her stumble rushed to her side and
lifted her TO her feet. She looked
around, then dropped her head and
had the more observant passerby
gazed beneath her beautiful silk be-
plumed picture hat he would have
seen a countenance that could boast
of modesty and bushes that resem-
bled a June rose.
After thanking the two gentlemen
for their proffered aid, the young
woman started up Main street
amidst the gapes of a crowd that
was three-fourths men.

Our New Industry.

We are pleased to see that the old
shirt factory is running again. In talk
ing with the business men and citizens
of Island Pond, all seemed to be greatly
pleased to hear the hum and buzz of the
machinery in the building.
just few words in explanation
about this new industry. The article
made is called the "Spaulding Auto
Glide. 1t is patented article, and is
just being put on the market. Messrs.
Miller aud 1ager of Boston, the owners
Of the patents, are honest and honorable
men who will do everything in their
power to make the running of the fac
tory a success, and there are two good
men at the wheel, Messrs. Boyce and
Blake, who will steer the new enter
prise into financial success.
We are informed by the management
that there will be over thirty men en-
ployed at the factory when things get
to running smoothly, which will mean
a good deal 10 our town. Mr.. j. F.
Hammond of Witham, Mass, who is at
the factory in the interests of Messrs.
Miller and llager, says that if he could
have come here and helped install the
plant last January, at the present time
the output would have been at least one
car a week. He further says that the
only drawback to large volume of bust
ness this season is due to not getting All
earlier start. The business of building
the glides is not dependent on New
England alone, for the proprietors have
orders from California and other states
also orders from across the water in
Germany. We hope that when they re-
ceve shipment in Germany they viii
not tag them "Made in Germany
Mr.. Hammond will probably return
to his home the latter part of this week
He has had quite an extensive factory
experience, and Monday when the frs
glide was assembled he said that he wa
more than pleased with the general ap
pearance of the machine, and that h,
does not see any reason why they can
not make just as good looking "glide
in Island Pond as can be made in an
town in the country.
We believe that this business ha
come to Island Pond to remain perma
nently, OF course it will take som
little time to get everything runnin
smoothly, but let us have little patienc
and everything will work out all right.
