A BAD FIRE.

Rowe Carriage Factory Badly Dam-
aged Friday Night.
The carriage factory of Elmer E. Rowe
on School street was badly damaged by
fire last Friday night, together with q
large number of carriages and sleighs.
and valuable patterns.
The fire started about 10 o'clock, near
the front of the building. The wood
working room was in that end of the
building, and large amount OF inflam-
mable material afforded the fire rapid
progress.
The front part of the building was
not badly damaged. Many sleighs in the
repository, which occupied the entire
northern half Of the building, were COM
pletely destroyed, and those in the rear
were badly damaged.
MIR. Rowe estimates his loss at about
$4,000. There was an insurance OF $500
on building and stock.
| The origin of the fire is unknown. There
was stove in the woodworking shop
some distance back from the front doors,
| but from the appearance OF the charred
woodwork, the fire seems to have started
close to the front doors.
The Rowe carriage factory was estab-
lishsd some thirty-six years ago, and is
well known throughout eastern Maine.
This is the first fire loss it has ever suffered,
As soon as the insurance is adjusted, Mr..
| Rowe will make the necessary renaira M,
the building.

Who Wrote This Early History1

The Fargo Forum Of a few days
ago contained a highly humorous
sketch of the life and exploits of
Chas. F. Billows If Turtle Lake.
The writer of the article was evid.
emily inspired by something
stronger than water and simply
let down the bars of his imagina-
tion and allowed all the billy
goats to escape. He tells about all
the famous men Charley is sup
posed to co-habit with because
they shared gophers together when
they were kidlets, and then throws
in a few lines about his strong and
fierce fighting procIivities.
He then adds that Charley is a
good, all-around mixer and will re-

sign his postmastership so as to
devote more time to his political
work.
The entire article is SO funny
that when we read it our suspend
ers broke into six sections and the
row of buttons down our vest front
will have to be riveted on again.
We take it that Charley intends
to run for the United States sem
ate, or possibly has an eye on a
cabinet position. He could fill
either place with credit provided
there was a health officer along to
see that he was kept in a sanitary
condition. Being a great fighter
he may intend to enter the navy
and take charge of the North At
lantic feet of battleships. He
would just as soon fire at the
enemy as not if he was sure the
enemy was far enough away SO
that he could not even be reached
by wireless. The only trouble is
that he has a somewhat abnormal
fear of water, especially if it is
deep water like that found in bath
tubs.
: Charley always did like to get
close to nature and he is certainly
a good mixer when there is mud
enough handy to mix with.
He is a man of big ambitions,
and at one time tried to start a
packing house, but the zone lone
steer he had picked out to supply
the world with fresh beef was SO
unfortunate as to step into a goph-
er hole and break its leg and the
owner of the blasted critter came
along just then and begun to ask
unpleasant questions. Charley
got real sorry for himself and his
poor family and dug down in his
jeans and pulled out ten spot to
cover the discrepancy in the herd
while the owner kindly relaxed his
grip on Charley's forelock and
bosom of his trousers. Had Char
ley been let alone that time he
might have become a worthy COM
petitor of Armour's.
We believe there is some truth
in the report that he will resign
his postmastership, for we under
stand that U. S. inspector called
at his shop one day and wanted to
take a look at his cash balance.
Charley found the books alright,
but it seems that he had mislaid
his cash balance. Inspectors are
awful particular about such trifles
as that, and this one told Charley
it was his move, so Charley had to
go down into bis jeans and dig, up
Just as he did when he started in
the packing industry.
When it comes to large hearted
benevolence Charley is right there
with the goods. Whenever any of
his friends get into trouble and
want to prove an alibi or need an
affidavit or so to help them out. he
will furnish all they want and do
all the swearing at $25. per swear.
He is particularly strong on affi-
davits.
As a promoter, of big things,
like wireless telephones, etc, he
has Marconi skinned to finish.
Several volumes might be writ
ten about Charley, but the price Of
pork and the duty on paper is 80
high that we can't afford to pub.
lish any more Of his honorable
career at present.
Country people have lots of time

Too mich Water on the Hair.

of YOUR hair is becoming dry and
brittle. breaking off and losing color
follow the lead Of the many VINO have
abandoned the use Of soap n wa
ter and taken up the new method OF
dry shampooing," said Claribel Mon
tague in her lecture on Beauty" II
has been proven beyond question that
too frequent wetting and the appli-
cation of alkaline substances to the
hair is a mistake.
Even those who formerly were de-
voted to s~hampooing with eggs now
use therox and orris root, and they
un~hesitatingly declare that this dry
shampoo makes the hair as bright
and fluffy as ever did eggs.
ITO make the dry shampoo mix
four ounces Of powdered orris root
with four ounces Of therox. Sprinkle
q tablespoonful Of the mixture on
the head and brush it well through
the hair. Do this once or twice a
week II the hair is thin and scanty
and you Will soon notice a new
growth Of hair. Nothing will make
the hair so beautifully fine and ius-
trous as this dry shampoo"

Care of Toilet Brush and Comb.
The care Of the toilet brush and


comb is of the utmost Importance in
order to preserve their mountings as
well as for sanitary reasons.
Celluloid brushes n combs should
be washed daily in a pint Of cold, soft
water mixed with a tablespoonful of
hartshorn solution, which is liable
to discolor the wood. In cleaning
a soft cloth should be dipped INTO the
mixture, then rubbed over the bris-
ties Of the brush and between the
teeth Of the comb, while the wooden
mountings may be polished with
sweet oil
Silver or brass mountings of brush
es and combs may be polished with
whiting or permanently preserved
with lacquer, and tortoise shell may
be frightened with a chamois cloth.
Ivory mountdh brushes and combs
are most Of all difficult TO keep in
good condition, as they are apt to be-
come yellow unless put away in a
dark blue lined box when not in use.
They must be kept out of the vicinity
of ink OF any dark colored acid, as
ivory readily absorbs such liquids and
the stains canno be eradicated.

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN

article cannot be obtained in any way.
When this time comes a very good
substitute for it can be found in any
ordinary securing soap and a stiff
mai, brush. If the girl who wants to
clean her shoes has shoe trees, the
best way is to put the shoes on them
and scrub hard with the nail brush;
but If she has no trees the cleaning
can be done or her hand.
Dip the nail brush in warm water
anr rub it hard on the securing soap
till it is covered with a thick lather,
then scrub the shoes, giving special
attention to the dirty spots. Wash
the soap off with a soft cloth and
clean water and if the shoe is not quite
clean repeat the process. They can be
made to look very fresh and clean,
n if cleaned often, so that they new
er become badly soiled, it will be COM
paratively easy work, and n will
hardly miss the whitening.

SPOKANE MAN DIES

Gotzner was seen to reel over in a

rushed to his side and he was car

Suddenly Gotzner gave a gasp for
breath and Strengthened out. Dare felt

New York, $4,000 women support
their husbands, and, being wage-earn-
ers, some one wants to know why
these women should not be allowed to
vote. Perhaps not one woman in a
hundred knows, or cares anything
about political affairs, but it would
only be a fair deal IL these non-sup-
porting men were not permitted to
vote. That would be a better ar
rangement, as, II a nan can not pro-

have the ability to not only care for
themselves, but for these men.

As nothing is more universally worn
In summer nowadays than these same
white shoes, n they soil rather
easily, the lack Of whitening Is often
an uncomfortable predicament. In a

shoes would probably be supplied with
