SOME POINTS ABOUT RAIN
The Most Popular Variety With the
Weather Bureau is Called
"Probably."

Rain is principally composed of wa.
ter, but it should not be confused with
mining stock
Rain always comes on Sunday after
Moons and washdays.
Washday may be changed to any
day in the week, Systematically or in
discriminatory. but the rain will
come.
Sunday afternoon, however, cannot
be changed to any other afternoon
The rain will hold off until you are
ready to go driving, and then the word
will be passed along the mysterious
currents of the air, and a double or.
der of cirrus and cumulus will be hur-
ried in from the west.
Also, in the morning, when you
leave home and carry your umbrella
and raincoat. the rain will go away and
sulk. But, If you take heart of the
fair sky, and leave the umbrella and
other trimmings, then the rain will
wait until you leave the Office and
tuck few grip and rheumatism
germs into your system.
Rain is good for the crops, but why
It takes you for a crop is hard to un.
derstand
Rain never brought fame to anyone
except Noah. Probably on the day
the flood began he watched the last
picnic party drive out of town in
bus. shouting sarcastic things at him
through the dust.
There are several varieties of rain,
but the one most popular with the
weather bureau IS called Probably"

of Maine lost its senior United States
senator and an almost lifelong faithful
servant when William Pierce Frye died
today at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. Helen White, in this city. The
end came at $3.50 p. m. AT his bedside
were Mrs. White and his other daught-
err, Mrs. Alice Briggs, who also resides
in Lewiston. Although he been ill for
a long time, death came suddenly.
Forced by the condition of his health
to resign his position as president pro
tempore of the senate at the beginning
congress, although he retained his
membership in the senate, Senator
Frye soon afterward made his last
journey to the city which always has
been his home.
Last week the senator IS illness took a
serious turn, but again he rallied and
this week his physicians expressed the
hope that he might recover. AS late
as 3:15 this afternoon he appeared to
be in a comfortable condition.
A general breakdown, due to age and
his extremely ardous career, is ascrib-
ed by Senator Frye's physicians as the
cause of death.
Funeral arrangements had not been
reported tonight President Taft and
Gov. Plaisted were notified of the
death of Senator Frye.

ais, Poultry, Etc.

position, to be held at Knoxville,
Tenn, September II to October 1,
next thorough organization of ex-
perts is engaged Early in the plan
ming for this exposition it was deter
mined to surpass, as far as possible,

portunity of bringing the finest ex-
hibits in the various lines that ever
have been seen in the southland.
Live Stock.
The live stock show under the di-
rection of DR.. III. Jacob, chairman,
was a revelation not only to East Ten
nessee, but to the entire country; and
one of the finest horse shows as well
as live stock exhibits that has ever
taken place in this country was seen
last year; and DR.. Jacob feels assured
of a more magnificent show in his
line this year.
