possibly get along without the dear old Jour-
nal; it is like weekly letter from the dear old
friends in Maine"
Two men have been in this county and vi
cinity who pretend to be in charge Of the con-
struction of a telephone line and have thereby
obtained food and money in several towns and
have incidentally appropriated whatever else
came under theirhands. These men, or others |
of like character, have been working the peo- |
pie in New Hampshire, and they will be arrest |
ed if their whereabouts can be ascertained.

GENTLEMEN's NIGHT AT THE TRAVELLERS
CLUB. The Travellers Club observed its an
nual "Gentlemen's Night" Wednesday, Decem-
Der 29th and the fact that the president, Mrs.
Edward Sibley, was the hostess, and the gath
| ering held in her own spacious, beautiful home,
was sufficient guarantee of the success OF the
meeting The members seemed totally uncon-
scious of the steady drop of the mercury out
side, making it the coolest, most uncomforta-
BILE day of the season, for inside all was light
and comfort and cheer. Seventeen Of the
eighteen members were present to enjoy to the
full the good things of the day and evening. The
business meeting was called at o'clock, but it
was somewhat later when the president raped
| to order and welcomed the club in her usual
earnest, cordial manner. One of the items OF
business following the routine work was the
passing of unanimous vote of thanks to
Misses Barr and Hall, librarian and assistant,
for their interest and kindness in selecting
books that are particularly helpful in the win
ter's work of the club. The literary program
was one of the choicest and best of the season
: Two original papers were given; one upon
'.Murillo" by Miss Margaret A. Dunton, the
other upon Spanish Music" by Mrs. E. S
Pitcher Some fine reproductions of the artist
paintings were shown by Miss Dunton, and Mrs
Pitchers paper was illustrated by vocal and al
: instrumental solo, charmingly rendered, the
former by Mrs. Pitcher and the latter by Mis-
Gladys Pitcher, who was guest of the club
: The reading upon Barcelona by Miss Mabel X
Mathews added much to the program. which
r as whole, was fully appreciated by all pres
. emit. The gentlemen guests, husbands ant
B brothers of the members, arrived at the ap
: pointed hour, and when the greetings wer'
n over, they were instructed to proceed to an ad
s joining room where they would have the privi
